The Bad Girl's Quick Transmigration System: Traveling Back and Forth

After I recovered, I immediately ordered the imperial guards and the Imperial Guards stationed at the mansion to conduct an internal investigation. The newly purchased maid was apprehended and taken to the dungeon in my mansion. She remained silent, her mouth tightly shut, her eyes fixed on me with determination. Seeing this, I couldn't help but sigh in admiration: this woman is quite resolute. However, I wasn't going to give up easily. I decided to try another tactic: to break down her defenses with words.

"As long as you tell me who is the mastermind behind this, I can spare your life." I tempted him.

When she heard what I said, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her determination.

"I won't tell you, just kill me!" she said gritting her teeth.

I narrowed my eyes slightly, thinking to myself, this woman must have been instructed by someone to be so decisive. It seems I'll have to use some special means, I thought to myself. So, I decided to stop talking to her and torture her to force her to reveal the identity of the mastermind behind this.

After three rounds of torture, the maid was beaten to pieces.

"Tell me! Who sent you here!" I shouted angrily.

The maid raised her head weakly, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, "I...I won't tell you..."

Seeing this, I felt annoyed and said, "Torture her again!"

A moment later, the maid's screams echoed throughout the torture room.

Finally, she spoke: "It's... it's the former King Jing Kang who was just captured by you... He hates you for eliminating many princes and royal family members of the Great Xia Dynasty... So... so he sent me to assassinate you..." After saying that, the maid fainted.

After hearing this, I was shocked. It turned out to be him...

I had just impeached him for colluding with ministers and put him in jail. I didn't expect that he would strike back before I could deal with him. His background is really quite deep. He was able to pass on information and arrange assassins in prison, which means that he also has people in the Ministry of Justice who are in cahoots with him. We must catch them all together.

I immediately called a team of soldiers and surrounded the Ministry of Justice prison. My eyes were cold and I immediately ordered the prison to be sealed off and all jailers and officials to be thoroughly searched.

During the search, we discovered some suspicious clues, such as secret letters and accounts. These evidences all pointed to the former accomplices of the Jingkang Prince, who took advantage of their power to secretly contact the outside world and plan this assassination.

I was furious and arrested all those involved in the case and interrogated them strictly. At the same time, I also assigned more personnel to closely monitor the Ministry of Justice's prison to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

After some reorganization, the Ministry of Justice's prison returned to its former order. I also became more vigilant, understanding that the enemy's plots and schemes are everywhere. I must remain vigilant at all times to protect myself and those around me. I also had someone investigate the maid's background. She was a master poisoner in the underworld, hired by Prince Jing Kang to poison me.

I went to the dungeon where she was imprisoned and continued to interrogate her. She had been tortured for many rounds at this time, and her spirit was on the verge of collapse. At this time, her desire to survive was manifested, and she begged for mercy: "Sir Xiao, I will tell you everything I know, please forgive me!" I pretended to agree, and asked, "See if there is any important information?" The killer who looked like a maid said, "Prince Jing Kang has an army outside the capital, and he can attack the capital at any time!" I hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?" The girl said, "Two hundred thousand!" I was shocked.

There are now 200,000 troops in the capital, but if we fight head-on, I don’t know how many sisters will be sacrificed. I calmed down and said, "Do you know where they are hiding?" The girl’s eyes were sharp: "I will take you there, but you must spare my life!" This time I did not hesitate, and said firmly: "Okay, I, Xiao Mingyue, keep my word!" I asked the guards to treat her injuries, and then quickly went into the palace to discuss the plan with Empress Liu Qian, and asked several major generals to come to the palace for a secret talk immediately.
