Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

"Catch or not?"

Shoushan looked through the crack in the door at the dark shadow on the roof opposite that was about to leave, and asked Qiao Xi with excitement in his eyes.

Qiao Xi narrowed her eyes and said, "Catch it."

Shoushan rushed out first.

After a while, the person was brought in.

He rubbed his hands eagerly. "Steam it or braise it? Or remove the bones and chop it into filling to make human meat buns?"

Qiao Xi cooperated, "That's too much trouble. There's been a drought lately, and the wolves in the mountains are starving. It would be easier to just chop it up and feed it to the wolves."

The man in black shuddered, "Why should I fear death or torture? But the princess betrayed His Majesty. Isn't she afraid of His Majesty's wrath?"

She tried hard to sound calm, but there was a childish tone in her voice that was hard to ignore.

"It's a pity that you won't see that day."

Qiao Xi pulled off the veil on her face, revealing a face that was still as young as twelve or thirteen years old.

"The secret factory is the emperor's secret factory, and yet you faked your death and escaped to work for Cao Ying before your training was complete.

Number 75, if I report this to the Emperor, who do you think will die first, you or me?

Before being activated, the hidden piece has no name, only a code name.

The reason why Qiao Xi knew this person was because he was sent by Cao Ying to keep an eye on Xu An and was also a spy to deceive and win over Xu An.

In her previous life, after No. 75 arrived in Liangzhou, she pretended to be an orphan refugee and was rescued by Xu An and taken into Xu's mansion. Three years later, she became Xu An's concubine.

In this life, Xu An rebelled before No. 75 arrived in Liangzhou.

Even if he succeeded in getting close to Xu An again, Cao Ying would not be able to deceive and use Xu An as he did in his previous life.

I could wait for an opportunity to avenge Bixiang, but now this person appears here...

Qiao Xi sneered.

It turns out that in Cao Ying's heart, her own future is more important than revenge for her daughter.

The man in black was shocked.

Since the day they entered the secret factory, they have been training with their faces covered with scarves. Even those they live with every day do not know each other's appearance and can only recognize each other by gestures and movement habits.

Even the manager of the secret factory didn't know that Manager Cao had asked her to fake her death, so how could Qiao Xi know about it?

She was worried that asking more questions would reveal her fear, so she pretended not to be curious and pursed her lips to act stubborn and fearless.

Qiao Xi saw through her thoughts but did not expose her. He just stared at her mischievously.

"Ah, are we going to leave it to the Emperor to kill?"

Shoushan interrupted, looking somewhat disappointed.

"Need not."

Qiao Xi said, "Grandfather, don't you want to change your appearance? Before killing, peel off this face first, and use it to make a human skin mask for you."

Shoushan clapped his hands, "Good, good, this face looks pretty good."

How could someone who was sent by Cao Ying to seduce Xu An have a bad appearance?

Qiao Xi agreed, "It's a nice face. Grandpa, peel it and feed it to the wolves."

She took out a thin knife from her waist and handed it to Shoushan, "Use this, it won't hurt your skin easily."

Shoushan took it and smiled wickedly, "Hehehe, I'm starting now."

He looked like a vicious old man.

"Don't come here."

Number 75 finally panicked and said to Qiao Xi, "It was Chief Steward Cao who asked me to go to northern Xinjiang to keep an eye on you.

It was only when I arrived in Xinjiang that I heard that you did not return to the Xinjiang Northern Palace, but came to Liangzhou.

I followed you here, but I didn't expect you to be in Liangzhou. I haven't sent any news about you yet, so don't let him rip my skin off."

She had experienced cruel training in the dark factory. She could endure ordinary pain and torture, but she could not accept being skinned and disfigured.

Qiao Xi asked, "Did you tell Cao Ying that I'm not in Jiangbei?"

Number 75 quickly shook his head. "No, I can't enter the Jiangbei Palace, so I can't verify whether the news is true. So I can only come to Liangzhou first. I have to verify it before I can send a message to Cao Zongguan."

She lowered her voice and did seek confirmation, but she was arrested before she could deliver the letter.

"Where did you hear someone say I'm not in the Jiangbei Palace? And what kind of person was that?"

"Outside the small gate of the Jiangbei Palace are two maids who came out of the palace."

Su Heting, who was outside the door, frowned slightly when he heard this.

Qiao Xi glanced outside the door, then said to Shoushan, "Grandfather, let's do it."

"I told the truth, why are you still peeling me?"

Number 75's voice was already filled with tears.

Qiao Xi said unconcernedly, "How do I know whether what you said is true or not? Besides, you are the person sent by Cao Ying to monitor me. Why should I be kind to you?"

Shoushan nodded heavily, "Yes, being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. If you can't be kind, you have to peel them off."

He pinched the black-clad woman's head and looked at her, as if thinking about the best place to start. After a moment, he firmly fixed her head and said, "Hold on, this old man has to take his time. It can't be damaged."

"Wow...you guys are going too far. If you want to kill me, just do it. Why do you have to destroy my face?"

The man pretending to be calm suddenly burst into tears, "I have no choice. It was Manager Cao who asked me to do this. If you want to peel her face, go to the capital and peel her face. Bullying a little girl is so immoral. Wow..."

"It's okay if you don't peel it."

Qiao Xi spoke and said slowly, "But you have to listen to me from now on."

The crying paused for a moment, then erupted into even louder cries, "I will die if I betray Cao Zongguan. She poisoned me, and without an antidote I will die of stomach rupture.

Wow...you are all so mean, Dad, why did you sell me? I want to go home, these people are so mean..."

Qiao Xi said calmly, "I have the antidote."

The crying stopped abruptly, "Uh, really?"

"of course."

Qiao Xi paused, "But it will take two or three months."

"Wow……"

"Shut up. Even if you listen to me from now on, Cao Ying won't know. You can get the antidote from her before she finds out."

Qiao Xi squatted down, like a wolf grandmother coaxing a little girl, "Follow me, you will have a name, a household registration, and money. When you grow up, I will find you a handsome husband. Isn't life like this wonderful?"

"fragrant."

The man in black was shocked again. Does Qiao Xi have some magic trick?

How do you know that this is what she wants?

"But how do I know if you're lying to me?"

Qiao Xi smiled, "Do you have a choice?

How do you know Cao Ying isn't lying to you? Your survival is evidence that she's plotting against the emperor. Once you're no longer valuable, will she still keep you as evidence?

"I know, I'm not stupid."

Number 75 muttered.

Cao Ying used her, and she also wanted to use Cao Ying to escape from the secret factory and then find an opportunity to escape from Cao Ying's control.

But right now...

Her round eyes rolled a few times, "You swear, if you lie to me, you will never have enough to eat for the rest of your life, and you will never get the true love of the person you love."

What a kid.

Qiao Xi smiled, "Okay, I swear."

Number 75 was finally satisfied. "What do you want me to do?"

"Go back to Jiangbei and pretend to monitor me, then write a letter to Cao Ying, saying that I have been in the Jiangbei Palace."

Glancing out the door, Qiao Xi saw that Su Heting had already left. Without changing her expression, she continued, "Also, the King of Jiangbei dotes on me very much. He spends every day hanging out with me in the mansion, even neglecting government affairs."

Su Heting, who had just returned from giving some instructions...
