Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

Chapter 93 World 2: The Cold Emperor and the Spoiled Concubine (40)

Nanling at this time.

Zhou Changling rode at full speed, killing three horses in a row. She finally reached Nanling before dark on the fifth day and met up with the man who had been following and monitoring her.

When he arrived at the agreed inn and sat down, three or four figures gathered in his room.

"How? Did she notice?"

Zhou Changling poured himself a cup of cold tea, and his hand holding the cup trembled slightly. This was because he had not slept for a long time and his body was extremely tired.

These secret guards had originally been tracking down Zhao Xueqing's whereabouts from all directions, but now they have gathered in one place, guarding all the entrances and exits of Nanling tightly, without any mistakes.

"My Lord, Miss Zhao is still staying with a local family and has not come out since."

"There is no time to lose. Let's go. I will catch him myself." Zhou Changling put down the cold tea, picked up his cloak, and went out first. When the secret guards did not advise other ministers, what they had to do was to obey absolutely and naturally would not refute him.

Fortunately, the result was gratifying. When a group of people came to this dilapidated thatched hut and heard the coughing sound coming from the house, Zhou Changling no longer hesitated and walked straight in.

When Zhou Changling captured Zhao Xueqing alive, her face was haggard and she no longer looked like the fairy she was when she stayed in his mansion for a while.

"Ahem, it's you, why can't you let me go!"

Zhao Xueqing was lying on the bed in a mess, her hands were tied, one end of the rope was tied to a corner of the bed frame, and she was half-naked. It was obvious that she had encountered something. Her eyes were full of resentment, and she wished she could tear a piece of flesh off these people.

"No need to untie her, just take her away." Zhou Changling looked at her as if she were a dead person. He had no extra sympathy. Thinking of Bai Lingxi who was still suffering from the poison, Zhou Changling felt even more angry towards her.

"Wait!" Knowing that she was in trouble, Zhao Xueqing became anxious. She wanted to exchange some things in her hands for some benefits. Although she didn't have the antidote, she could coax people!

Seeing that the secret guard was about to cover her mouth without saying a word, she quickly shouted to stop and begged for mercy.

"Zhou Changling, you came all the way here, you must know that Bai Lingxi was poisoned, right? I have the antidote! As long as you untie me, I will give it to you now."

Zhou Changling was stunned. He knew that this woman might be lying, but he really wanted the antidote, really wanted it. It seemed as if there was a mysterious force making him obey. His eyes gradually became less clear.

He opened his mouth, and when the word "untie" was about to come out of his mouth, suddenly a surge of reason pulled him back, and his eyes became clear again.

"She is indeed a witch. Gag her mouth, blindfold her, and tie her hands and feet." Zhou Changling's heart sank. He thought, could there really be some invisible bond holding them back?

Zhou Changling's heart sank little by little. The closer he got to the truth, the more he found something wrong. There was something strange everywhere. For example, the bizarre opportunities of the Zhao sisters were all related to him...

"Um, um!" Zhao Xueqing struggled hard, but no matter what she did, it was in vain.

Seeing that she was tied up tightly, Zhou Changling felt a little relieved. No matter what, there must be some things that can be controlled, otherwise he would be at the mercy of others.

Back to the inn, this is his intelligence station. When he was a prince, he established intelligence stations across the country, including various inns, restaurants, and brothels. Now he can find the witch, thanks to his foresight at that time.

Thinking of this, Zhou Changling looked at the shop owner who was in charge of intelligence and gave him a look. The shop owner understood and followed in. As for Zhao Xueqing, she was locked up in another place.

Zhou Changling helped the shopkeeper who was kneeling down to salute him: "When you are away from home, there is no need to be polite. Is there any news from the palace?"

"Sir, this is today's letter."

The shopkeeper took out a secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhou Changling respectfully. After he nodded, he retreated from the room.

Zhou Changling was puzzled. He had been away from the palace for so long, and he had asked her to write him a letter every day to report the affairs of the palace. But why was there only one letter? Soon his doubts were answered.

He opened the letter and just one sentence made his face change drastically: There was nothing wrong in the front court, but the queen in the harem was missing.

The day the signature was signed was exactly the day he left the palace!

Just when he was about to collapse from the blow of this news, something unexpected happened. Someone outside shouted: "Fire, fire!"

Zhou Changling had no time to feel sad. His mind was working quickly and his feet were moving non-stop. He first went to the place on the first floor where firewood was stored. This was where Zhao Xueqing was imprisoned.

When he arrived, there was only one secret guard left, and the woodshed was empty with only two bundles of hemp ropes. The source of the fire was not here.

Thick smoke billowed, and the fire gradually became more serious. When the secret guard saw Zhou Changling coming out, he stopped climbing the stairs and reported the current situation: "Master, one person has helped to put out the fire, and two people have begun to track down their whereabouts. I was just about to call you."

Zhou Changling nodded and looked at him: "Chase!"

This is not because Zhou Changling does not believe in their abilities, but because Zhao Xueqing seems to be a favorite of heaven and can always avoid their pursuit with all kinds of luck.

But this time Zhou Changling was able to successfully capture the evil woman, which made him realize that he was probably the only one who could catch her, and anyone else would only return empty-handed.

Sure enough, they followed the clues left by the two secret guards in front of them and walked all the way to a narrow alley. Suddenly, Zhou Changling seemed to sense something and stared at the abandoned water tank.

He walked over slowly, trying to lift the weeds that were blocking the view, but the secret guard went over first and suddenly lifted all the coverings. As expected, he saw a curled up woman. That face was exactly that of Zhao Xueqing who had escaped.

Zhao Xueqing screamed: "Ah! Impossible! How can you see me!"

Zhou Changling narrowed his eyes and thought carefully. Could it be that the invisibility cloak that Zhao Xueqi mentioned before her death was true?

As he was thinking, he saw Zhao Xueqing disappear out of thin air in front of him, as if this person had never existed and even her breath was gone.

Zhou Changling and the secret guard stood back to back and were on alert. Suddenly, Zhou Changling swung the sword in his hand and stabbed at a certain place. A woman's scream was heard in the air, and then blood oozed out in the air.

Now, Zhao Xueqing has no way to escape.

The secret guard stepped forward and tentatively took something off. Sure enough, Zhao Xueqing was exposed to the air. The secret guard held the glittering cloak in one hand and escorted Zhao Xueqing to Zhou Changling with the other.
