Quick Wear: Oh no, the lady is running away with the ball again

Chapter 17: The Fishing Department Loves to Act as a Female Spy x Cruel and Merciless Regent 16

After Mo Heng turned the entire capital upside down but still couldn't find the person, his mood had dropped to freezing point every day, and he was so violent that he wanted to kill people.

He didn't understand how Yun Qian had managed to escape right under his nose. He had already questioned the Infantry Commander's Office thoroughly, but still couldn't find any single young woman leaving the city. But if she hadn't left the capital, why couldn't he find her there?

I can't figure it out and I can't find the answer.

Mo Heng's mood is as low as Mount Everest every day. The guards and servants around him are trembling with fear every day, not daring to make any mistakes. They dare not even breathe, for fear of being caught in a trap.

They all kept thinking in their hearts, Miss Yun Qian, please come back soon, my dear ancestors, if this goes on, we won’t be able to live like this.

While Mo Heng was feeling pain, he realized that the news that the leader of Qingxuan Pavilion had died and been thrown into a mass grave had already spread throughout the city and was known to everyone.

Yun Qian became famous in one battle without knowing it. Everyone was secretly discussing which hero had such a big hand?

Although Qingxuan Pavilion has always been irreconcilable with the Regent's Palace, no one thinks that it was the Regent who did it, because they know that if the Regent took action, it would not be so easy for them to just let the Pavilion Master die.

Mo Heng didn't care about the discussions outside. He only cared about whether Yun Qian did it. After all, according to the time when the body was found the next day, it coincided with the time when Yun Qian left.

He had an inexplicable intuition that it was that little woman Yun Qian who did it, but was she from Qingxuan Pavilion?

But if she was from Qingxuan Pavilion, what was her motive for killing their leader? Hatred?

But if she was not from Qingxuan Pavilion, why did she come to him and get close to him in the first place?

She didn't steal his information, she didn't poison him, the only time she drugged him was to escape from him. So why did she approach him? Was she trying to deceive him physically and mentally?

Mo Heng was puzzled. Could such a thing be so absurd? Besides, wasn't there a rule that once you'd cheated someone, you had to leave?

Her identity was too confusing, and he had no idea where to start. He didn't know where her home was, her true identity, or even her name.

He didn't know whether it was true or not. "Watch the sky in the morning and the clouds in the evening..." He remembered the poem he had written while holding Yun Qian's hand. But in the end, it was just his wishful thinking.

"Separation is the most painful thing. Even though water flows east and west, it will eventually bring us together."

"Fleeting love is like drifting clouds, yet it still reaches my soul in my dreams."

"It's a pity that human feelings are thinner than clouds and water, and a good meeting is even harder to repeat."

Flowing water and drifting clouds are inherently heartless, but even flowing water, east and west, will eventually meet again, and drifting clouds, though uncertain, will still enter dreams. But the affections of heartless people are even shallower than flowing water and drifting clouds, and they can't bear to part with each other.

Thinking of this, the always arrogant and domineering Regent couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then a fishy-sweet taste rose in his throat...

But he would not let go. He did not want to let go. He ordered people to continue looking. If they could not find it in the capital, they would look south and north.

Even if it causes a stir in the whole city, he has to find Yun Qian. She promised to stay by his side forever, so how could he go back on his word?

-

Mo Heng would not let go of any information or suspicious points. He personally led his troops to destroy Qingxuan Pavilion. Wherever the sword pointed, blood flowed like a river.

All the officials in the Qingxuan Pavilion were brought up, and he interrogated them one by one. Unexpectedly, the Qingxuan Pavilion was already a headless bird, a spent force. Before Mo Heng could send them all to the imperial prison, the cowardly ones among them were willing to confess.

Mo Heng heard them talk about how they sent Yun Qian to the Regent's Palace to carry out the assassination mission.

It is said that Yun Qian is the newcomer with the fastest progress and the most outstanding martial arts skills in Qingxuan Pavilion over the years.

Talk about how Yun Qian was captured and brought to Qingxuan Pavilion as a spy since childhood.

But when it was mentioned that Yun Qian lost both her parents when she was young and had no relatives left, Mo Heng felt a pain in his heart as if someone had pinched it.

"Stop, tell me your assassination plan in detail."

Although I had a preconceived idea in my mind, it was a deception from beginning to end.

But when he actually heard that Yun Qian came to him on his orders, he couldn't help but feel pain, as if all the ice and snow in the sky had suddenly fallen on him.

The man wiped his sweat and continued to speak carefully.

"We didn't find a suitable method at first, so we let her do whatever she wanted. Later, we discovered a strange poison, colorless and odorless. Just add it to tea three times to kill people without them even noticing. So, we sent someone disguised as a maid to urge her to take action..."

Unable to hear anyone continue, Mo Heng stared at the man with a deadly look, as if signaling him to continue.

The man was completely clueless and begged for mercy. "I don't know what happened next, Your Majesty. The person sent to fend for Yun Qian came back in a hurry the night before the Pavilion Master died.

Later, the Pavilion Master personally led people there, but the Pavilion Master never came back! Please let me go."

-

After listening, Mo Heng was silent for a long time.

There were indeed many confusing things, but one thing he was sure of was that Yun Qian did not poison him. She did not follow the organization's instructions and poison him.

Although he knew it might be for other reasons, he still couldn't help but fantasize about it, feel comforted and hopeful.

He thought, maybe Yun Qian really had feelings for him, otherwise she could have directly poisoned the tea, but in the end she just drank a bowl of soup mixed with sleeping pills.

Maybe Yun Qian left him just because her identity was too embarrassing, not because she really wanted to leave.

Perhaps, it’s just like you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, because that person enjoys it.
