A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 20 The Dark Door Owner

"Master, senior brother, what do you think?" Yun Jizi thought that Zhou Jingze would inherit the throne in the future and would need help, especially from the intelligence organization. If a country is not well-informed, it would be too late to solve the problem after something happened. Yun Jizi saw the relationship between Qiqi and Zhou Jingze clearly. In the end, the two children would definitely be together. However, the old emperor had several sons who were all eyeing the throne. During the three masters and apprentices' travels, they were assassinated several times, and it was the old Taoist who saved them. As their martial arts improved, the two apprentices solved the assassinations themselves. Seeing that they could not gain any benefits, the people in the dark withdrew reluctantly.

"Qiqi, since Lord Wang is willing to give you the position of Lord, you should accept it and carry forward the Anmen. The Anmen should also expand to neighboring countries and develop into branches under the guise of doing business."

"Yes, Master, Qiqi is at your service," Qiqi accepted the token. Everyone greeted the new owner. Wang Yunlong willingly accepted the position of deputy owner. Qiqi told Wang Yunlong that he didn't have time to stay at the Dark Gate headquarters and that Wang Yunlong would continue to manage the business. Qiqi gave him a token and instructed him to talk to Yunlei about opening branches of the jade shop, barbecue restaurant, and fruit shop in neighboring countries, to be managed by Wang Yunlong. This would provide the Dark Gate with funds and allow them to minimize assassination attempts. The brothers wouldn't have to risk their lives. Wang Yunlong and the other brothers bowed to the ground, thanking the new owner.

Wang Yunlong called out into the air, and a carrier pigeon appeared outside the building. He waved, and the pigeon flew to Wang Yunlong's hand. "I'm giving you this pigeon. If you have any questions, you can use it to pass them on."

"Okay. I will," Qiqi said. Wang Yunlong and his brothers happily said goodbye.

Qiqi looked at the carrier pigeon and poured some spiritual spring water for it. The carrier pigeon tilted its head to look at Qiqi, drank it in big gulps, and then flew around Qiqi a few times to express its happiness and gratitude.

The master took Qiqi to the inner room, analyzed his ideas to Qiqi, and said that he was optimistic about Qiqi and Zhou Jingze's future relationship. Qiqi blushed.

"Master, you just make fun of me and I will ignore you."

The master and his two companions continued southward. A carrier pigeon flew down from the sky. Qiqi waved, and the pigeon landed in Zhou Jingze's hand. The young prince untied the letter tied to the pigeon's leg and opened it. It was from the Emperor: "My son, please return as soon as possible. Your mother is seriously ill." The young prince panicked, tears welling in his eyes. Qiqi took the letter and read it. She, too, was anxious and discussed with her master about accompanying the prince back to the palace to see the Empress.

The three of them, master and apprentice, abandoned the carriage and ordered their secret guards to find a few fine horses for them to ride back to the capital, resting their horses but not themselves. Zhou Jingze was deeply worried about his mother, the queen mother, and the people in the capital who were ready to make trouble. Since they couldn't kill him, they turned their evil hands on his mother. Since his mother didn't know martial arts, it was inevitable that she would be punished.

Qiqi comforted her brother along the way, saying that if he hadn't received any more letters, it meant the Queen was fine. "We'll be there in a few days." Qiqi took out some spiritual fruits for Master and Zhou Jingze to eat to replenish their energy. They had been riding for several days straight, eating pancakes when hungry and drinking spiritual spring water when thirsty. If it weren't for the spiritual spring water, they would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

They were almost in the capital, and Zhou Jingze calmed down. The three of them, master and apprentice, found a restaurant and sat down to have a good meal.

"Master, Junior Sister, thank you," Zhou Jingze said to the Master and Junior Sister. "You are amazing, little brat."

At this time, a carrier pigeon flew over and landed on Qiqi's shoulder. Qiqi took off the letter, poured some spiritual spring water on the pigeon, and hurriedly opened the letter, which contained news about the queen being poisoned.

Qiqi handed the letter to her master first. Yun Jizi read it and then handed it to Zhou Jingze. "Master, Junior Sister, the Queen Mother has been poisoned. It's all my fault. Since they couldn't kill me, they turned to the Queen Mother."

"Jingze, don't lose your composure. Your junior sister and I will find a way to detoxify your mother. Let's hurry into the city and the palace."

At this moment, a burst of arrows came and dozens of men in black surrounded them. Qiqi drew out his soft sword and was the first to meet them. Jingze followed. The two of them acted as if they were in an empty place and started a unilateral massacre.

"Leave him alive," Taoist Yunji reminded.

By then, Zhou Jingze's secret guards had completely surrounded the restaurant. Qiqi captured one of the men, and Zhou Jingze also captured the assassin, then dismantled his jaw. The man Qiqi had captured then committed suicide by biting him. Qiqi felt a pity. The secret guards took the assassin away and imprisoned him in the Prince's prison, where he was kept under strict guard.

The three of them quickly entered the capital and the imperial palace. Today, the emperor was chatting with the empress in her bedroom. The empress hadn't felt any pain and seemed fine. However, once the Gu master activated the mother Gu, the empress began to feel intense pain all over her body.

"Mother, Mother, I am back," said the little prince. Then the three of them, master and disciple, walked into the bedroom.

"Greetings, Father." "Greetings, Your Majesty." Yun Jizi clasped his fists. Qiqi knelt and kowtowed. "Please stand up quickly and come see the Queen," the Emperor said, pulling Yun Jizi to feel the Queen's pulse.

After Yun Jizi took the Queen's pulse, he called Qiqi over to see the Queen.

"Master, this is the Golden Cicada Gu. It's very difficult to remove. If the Gu holder finds out, the Queen will be in danger. We must be cautious." Qiqi said. "Master, what do you think we should do? After removing the Gu, we must find the Gu holder and get rid of him to prevent any further trouble."

Zhou Jingze said: "Father, it's time to clean up the Queen Mother's bedroom." "My son, since you are back, I will leave this matter to you. Investigate how your mother was poisoned." "Yes, Father, I obey your command."

Zhou Jingze also reported to the emperor all the assassinations he encountered outside the capital and during his travels. The emperor was furious and gave Zhou Jingze the power to execute first and report later. All royal relatives and nobles involved in the incident were to be executed.

Qiqi discussed with her master that the insect must be retrieved in her space to avoid alerting the enemy. The person holding the insect must be in the capital, and he is too far away to control the insect.

Qiqi dragged Zhou Jingze into the space. Zhou Jingze was stunned. Where was this? Qiqi explained to Zhou Jingze that she was not from this era. Zhou Jingze held Qiqi's hand and said, "No matter who you are, you are the Qiqi in my heart. I am the closest person to you in this world." Qiqi hugged Jingze with emotion. "I know you treat me best." Qiqi took Zhou Jingze to visit the medical space first, suggesting that the Queen come to the medical space to detoxify. This way, the person holding the mother poison would not be discovered. The two of them walked hand in hand to the spiritual spring.

Zhou Jingze asked: "This is the water we drink when we travel, right? I feel that it is different from ordinary water." "Yes."

Qiqi pointed to a large tree over there. "That's the spiritual fruit tree. The red fruit we eat is the spiritual fruit. It's full of spiritual energy and nourishes the body. Look, after Master ate it, all his old illnesses were cured." It was a field of Chinese medicinal herbs. There were all kinds of rare Chinese medicinal herbs. Zhou Jingze heard the roars of tigers and lions. Looking in the distance, he saw the Tiger King and the Lion King running over. "Qiqi, you should put them into the space too. They are your tiger and lion team." The Tiger King and the Lion King came over and licked Qiqi's hand, expressing their longing. Qiqi smiled and said, "I miss you too," and hugged the Tiger King and the Lion King respectively.

In the distant farmlands, sweet potatoes, corn, and rice were planted. "When conditions permit, we can promote the cultivation of rice and corn throughout the Great Zhou Kingdom." They bid farewell to the Tiger King and the Lion King and left the space. The sooner the poison was extracted, the better. They discussed extracting it tonight.

In the evening, Qiqi was left in the Queen's bedroom to guard the Queen. Zhou Jingze and his master rushed back to the Prince's Mansion to interrogate the assassin. Entering the dungeon, he questioned his men, but they still hadn't confessed. Zhou Jingze took out a packet of medicine, which Qiqi had given him. He handed it to the guard and gave it to the assassin. After a while, the assassin twisted his body, as if thousands of arrows were piercing his heart, "I confess, I confess."

The eldest prince and Ning Guifei's father, Lord Ning Xiang, who was also the eldest prince's master, joined forces to assassinate the crown prince. If the crown prince was in trouble, the eldest prince would be the first to succeed him.

"Where are you all hiding? How many others participated in the assassination?" the prince demanded. "Of the original 200 assassins, only 50 remain, hiding in the cellar at the backyard of the prime minister's residence." "I've confessed everything. Please let me go. Give me a quick death." "Has anyone else been in your residence?" "I don't know. Please spare me. It's excruciating." Drag him away.

"Jingze, don't touch the Prime Minister's Mansion for now. Let the secret guards surround the Prime Minister's Mansion secretly," said Taoist Yunji.

"Let's go back to the palace first and remove the poison from your mother. It won't be too late to surround the prime minister's residence later." "Okay, Master."

The master and disciple quickly returned to the Queen's chambers. Qiqi had also prepared everything she needed, just waiting for them to return.

Qiqi used anesthetic to make the queen fall asleep and moved her into the space. Zhou Jingze and dozens of guards stood guard outside the bedroom. No one was allowed to get close.
