Chapter 223 The Male Protagonist Appears
Leng Qing lifted a foot and walked towards the woman's cell, looking at her face.
I have a rough idea in my mind.
Do you want to save your son?
"I can help you."
The woman's stagnant eyes suddenly erupted with intense hatred.
She slowly raised her head, her eyes fixed on the man in front of her who could kill her with a single sentence.
The woman, considering the actions of the Eastern Xia emperor during this period, quickly figured it out.
Zhong Liming's long-planned scheme was ruined in a few moves, and now he's even lost his life.
What's so strange about knowing something about her?
After figuring it out, the woman's eyes dimmed again, and she turned around and sat facing the corner of the wall.
These people are all devils; they all threatened her with her son.
She would rather die than believe a single word from those in power again.
"It will indeed take some effort for me to rescue your son, but killing him is still very simple."
"Poisoning, burning, strangling, drowning... what kind of death would you choose for your son?"
The woman was no longer unmoved after hearing this.
He rushed to the cell door in two strides, glaring at Leng Qingyi with bloodshot eyes.
"You are shameless."
She remained completely calm and unperturbed by the insults directed at her, simply smiling faintly as she looked back.
It's as if they're saying I'm shameless, and what can you do about it?
Faced with Leng Qingyi's cold expression, the woman slumped to the ground like a lifeless doll.
"What do you want to know?"
Leng Qingyi knew that her coercion had worked, and she was willing to use any means necessary to achieve her goal.
"Bring this young lady out."
The two men sat facing each other in a simple prison cell.
For some reason, the woman felt a long-lost sense of respect.
She was able to sit on equal footing with the emperor.
Leng Qing raised his hand and personally poured a cup of tea for the woman opposite him.
"How about a deal?"
The woman was somewhat flattered, as she was now merely a prisoner.
Why does the Emperor of Dongxia treat himself like this?
His threat had already worked, so why bother with anything more?
"Your Majesty, just say what you want to do."
"Tell me everything you know, and I'll help you get your son out."
"Hasn't His Majesty investigated everything? It was all a scheme orchestrated by Zhongli Mo."
"Do you know what I'm talking about? Who has your son in their hands?"
"If you don't tell me how I can rescue your son?"
The woman's eyes flickered.
"Saving people is difficult, but killing them is easy. Don't try anything funny with me."
The woman's expression faltered slightly, and she forced a twitch at the corner of her mouth.
My subconscious reservations and calculations were so easily seen through.
It's no wonder Zhong Li Mo lost to someone like that.
"The person behind him is the Southern Autumn Royal Family, but I don't know exactly who it is."
“My son is being held captive in the Nanqiu Palace by that man. Even if I were to speak, would the Emperor be able to reach into the Nanqiu Palace and successfully rescue him?”
The woman looked at Leng Qingyi with a hint of mockery, which made Leng Qingyi unconsciously raise an eyebrow.
He even dared to use reverse psychology on her; he really isn't afraid of killing her.
"Just focus on the results; you don't need to worry about the process."
"Based on what I know, the person behind Zhongli Mo is most likely the Crown Prince of Nanqiu."
"Two years ago, Prince Nanqiu was a playboy who did nothing all day long. After falling into the water, his personality changed drastically."
"Not only did he stop spending his days indulging in frivolous pursuits, but he also started doing practical work and achieved considerable political success."
"I heard that gunpowder was used in this battle against Beidong. That was the weapon that Prince Nanqiu invented."
"Many officials in your Dongxia have been secretly bribed by him. I know of Ye Gucheng and Zhongli Hengyi... However, it seems that you have eliminated those officials for various reasons."
"Did you already know they were colluding with the enemy and betraying the country?"
Leng Qing only knew that those people were corrupt, took bribes, formed cliques, and oppressed the people, so this was an unexpected surprise.
It turns out they were colluding with Nan Qiu, and it seems he has already cleared up quite a few people.
Just then, a voice came to Leng Qing's mind.
"It's him! It's him! It's definitely him! Crown Prince Nanqiu is the male lead!"
Leng Qing narrowed his eyes, and after listening to the woman recount a considerable amount of information, he ordered her to be taken back to the cell.
