Quick Wear Dream Qiqi
Chapter 177: Demons and Monsters 21
The atmosphere in the interrogation room was unusually quiet, as if shrouded in heavy silence.
In the narrow space, the dim light flickered, as if even time was eternally frozen here.
There were heavy footsteps outside the cell. Yun Weishan became alert instantly and looked towards the door to see Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng.
After she and Gong Ziyu passed all the trials, they were overheard by Gong Yuanzheng while talking with Master Yue. They were brought out from the back mountain and imprisoned here.
It was because she was not careful enough that the identity of the Swordless Assassin was exposed.
Gong Shangjiao's icy gaze fell upon Yun Weishan, his voice low and oppressive, "Yun Weishan, now that things have come to this, don't hide it any longer. I know you have accomplices here. Telling them might save your life."
Yun Weishan was shocked, but he still pretended to be calm.
However, under Gong Shangjiao's relentless pressure, she knew that resistance was futile.
She slowly raised her head and looked directly into Gong Shangjiao's eyes: "Yes, Shangguan Qian is also a bladeless assassin."
Gong Shangjiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of understanding and anger flashed in his eyes.
Gong Yuanzheng's eyes widened in disbelief: "How could it be her?"
Gong Shangjiao took a deep breath, suppressing his inner anger: "What is your purpose in sneaking into the palace?"
Yun Weishan sneered, "This is a secret. Even if I die, I won't reveal a single word."
Gong Shangjiao snorted coldly, "Do you think you can get away with it by not telling me? I will slowly investigate thoroughly, and then the entire Wufeng will pay the price."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Yun Weishan with a determined look on his face alone in the dim interrogation room.
Gong Shangjiao hurried back to Jiao Palace, with murderous intent in every step.
When I stepped into the gate of Jiao Palace, I saw Shangguan Qian leisurely admiring the flowers in the courtyard, as if everything was normal.
His eyes turned cold, and he strode forward and asked, "Shangguan Qian, are you the Edgeless Assassin?"
The flower in Shangguan Qian's hand trembled slightly, but her face quickly changed to an innocent look: "Master Jiao, why do you suddenly ask like this? Qianqian doesn't know."
Gong Shangjiao laughed in anger: "Yun Weishan has confessed, you don't need to pretend anymore."
Shangguan Qian's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she knelt down, tears welling up in her eyes. "Master Jiao, although Qianqian is from Wufeng, the leader of Wufeng is Qianqian's enemy. Qianqian is truly sincere to you. I entered the palace only for you, and I no longer want to be controlled by Wufeng."
Gong Shangjiao's heart moved, but when he remembered the danger facing the palace gate, he hardened his heart: "Do you think I'm so easy to deceive? No matter what your reason is, since you are a sharpshooter, you must not be forgiven easily."
Shangguan Qian looked at him in despair: "Sir, do you really not care about our past friendship?"
Gong Shangjiao closed his eyes, then opened them after a moment and said, "Take her away and keep her under strict guard until I find out the truth before conducting a trial."
After receiving the order, the attendant took Shangguan Qian away, leaving Gong Shangjiao standing there with mixed feelings.
Gong Shangjiao frowned and paced in the courtyard.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he called his attendant and ordered, "Go and get Gong Yuanzheng for me."
Not long after, Gong Yuanzheng hurried over.
"Brother, what do you want from me?"
Gong Shangjiao said sternly, "Meng Qiqi at Zheng Palace is too naive and easily exploited. You must return to Zheng Palace immediately and keep a close eye on her. Do not let anyone suspicious get close to her."
Although Gong Yuanzheng didn't understand why Meng Qiqi was suddenly mentioned, he still nodded respectfully and said, "Don't worry, brother. I'll be back soon."
Gong Shangjiao looked at Gong Yuanzheng's receding back and pondered in his heart.
He knew very well that the situation in the palace was complicated, with various forces secretly surging. Meng Qiqi's identity was too innocent. If something went wrong, it would probably lead to a series of unpredictable consequences.
Gong Yuanzheng is a meticulous person, so it is most appropriate for him to monitor Meng Qiqi.
Gong Shangjiao took a deep breath, turned around and walked back into the Jiao Palace Hall. He had to sort out the current situation as soon as possible. Whether it was Shangguan Qian's matter or the Wufeng leader hidden behind Yun Weishan, they all needed him to solve urgently.
————Zheng Palace.
Meng Qiqi was about to go out to where Shangguan Qian was imprisoned. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Gong Yuanzheng hurried back.
Gong Yuanzheng was also startled when he saw Meng Qiqi standing at the door, then frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"
Meng Qiqi was shocked, but she pretended to be calm and said, "I was just bored in the palace and wanted to get some fresh air."
Gong Yuanzheng stepped forward, his eyes scrutinizing her. "My brother specifically told me to keep an eye on you. It's not a good time for you to go out. The situation at the palace gates has been tense lately, and it's not safe outside the palace."
Meng Qiqi bit her lip, thinking that if she forced her way in, it would definitely not work. She rolled her eyes and said, "I heard that something happened to Sister Shangguan Qian. I just wanted to go see if she was okay."
Gong Yuanzheng sneered: "She is the Wufeng assassin, why are you joining in the fun? Are you also related to Wufeng?"
Meng Qiqi quickly waved her hands: "Of course not, I just think Sister Shangguan has always been very good to me, and I don't believe she would be a bad person."
Gong Yuanzheng's expression softened slightly. "Anyway, you are not allowed to go. Brother will handle this matter himself. Don't meddle in other people's business. Just go back to Zheng Palace and stay there."
After saying that, he pulled Meng Qiqi into Zheng Palace. Meng Qiqi felt a little helpless.
After Gong Yuanzheng sent Meng Qiqi back to her room, he turned to look at the maidservant beside him with a cold look in his eyes: "What has she done in the past two days since I was away from the palace?"
The maid hurriedly lowered her head and replied, "Palace Master Zheng, Miss Meng stays in her room most of the time, occasionally walking around the courtyard, and she doesn't behave in any unusual manner."
Gong Yuanzheng narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to judge the truth of the maid's words.
"Then has she had any contact with outsiders?"
The maid shook her head and said, "Apart from Miss Shangguan, I haven't seen anyone else except us servants."
Gong Yuanzheng folded his arms across his chest and paced back and forth, thinking.
Only today did he realize that Meng Qiqi was not that simple. The innocence and kindness she had shown before might just be a disguise.
However, the surveillance results after Meng Qiqi came to the palace gate showed that she did not do anything suspicious.
"Okay, let's go down."
Gong Yuanzheng waved his hand.
After the maid left, Gong Yuanzheng came to the door of Meng Qiqi's room and looked inside through the crack. He saw Meng Qiqi sitting at the table with her hand on her cheek, wondering what she was thinking about.
Gong Yuanzheng thought to himself: No matter what your purpose is, as long as you stay in my palace, I will not let anything happen to you.
Then he turned and left, leaving only the silent corridor and Meng Qiqi who was unaware of the situation inside the door.
When Meng Qiqi appeared at the gate of Zheng Palace just now, Gong Yuanzheng's heart skipped a beat.
As night falls, the Zheng Palace is silent.
While everyone was asleep, Meng Qiqi used her lightness skills to quietly run towards the interrogation room.
She moved like a ghost, skillfully avoiding the patrolling guards.
When she arrived outside the interrogation room, she stuck a wall-penetrating talisman on her body and entered the room, where she saw Shangguan Qian who was tied up.
Shangguan Qian raised her head, her eyes full of surprise.
Meng Qiqi made a gesture to silence her and said softly, "Miss Shangguan, as long as you reveal the identity of the Gushan Sect, you will be spared from torture."
Shangguan Qian smiled bitterly: "Miss Meng, this matter is not that simple. If I tell you, it might only cause greater trouble."
Meng Qiqi moved closer to her and whispered something in her ear, like a promise or assurance.
Shangguan Qian hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.
Just at this moment, footsteps were heard outside and Meng Qiqi frowned.
