Jiang Luoxi was very familiar with these hateful gazes and didn't care at all.
She could say that seeing Qian Leer made her feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, and nothing more. She had disposed of many useless pawns and had many people who hated her.
However, there was no one who could take her life.
Seeing Jiang Luoxi's indifferent and unconcerned expression, Qian Leer became even more furious. She pursed her lips tightly.
Good, today she had met Jiang Luoxi, who completely ignored her, and she understood even more that she had to become indestructible!
Everything she had suffered, she would make Jiang Luoxi endure!
She absolutely could not be defeated easily!
She wanted to see Jiang Luoxi kneeling on the ground begging her!
Jiang Luoxi could feel Qian Leer's overwhelming hatred and felt contemptuous. A useless pawn, unable to even understand her own purpose? What was the use of being indignant now? Did she really think she could get revenge on her?
After the door closed.
Jiang Luoxi withdrew her gaze and looked at Yun Shu.
Seeing Yun Shu looking at her, her gaze seemed to penetrate a person's disguise, seeing through their very soul. Jiang Luoxi trembled in her heart and immediately became defensive.
"Second Miss Yun, are you perhaps curious about what this palace wishes to discuss with you?" Jiang Luoxi spoke first.
In front of Yun Shu, there was no need to beat around the bush or talk indirectly. She would get straight to the point.
Yun Shu picked up the tea cup beside her and was about to bring it to her lips to drink when she heard Jiang Luoxi's words and put the cup down again.
It seemed her guess was about right; Prince Ning wanted to discard Jiang Luoxi as a pawn.
As for the fate of a pawn, Jiang Luoxi knew better than anyone, to the point that she was now acting desperately and had approached her!
"Not curious," Yun Shu said with a faint smile.
Jiang Luoxi's expression froze, and her face turned even more unsightly. "Second Miss Yun, we don't have to be enemies. Some of the things I did before were not my own intention but at the behest of others. Do you want to know who is behind this palace, Second Miss Yun?"
She believed that with the means of Yun Shu and Prince Ye, they would definitely want to know who was behind her. Although some clues were leaked at the hot spring villa that day, they definitely had no proof.
However.
For some reason.
She always felt that Yun Shu's expression was indifferent, and she showed no emotional change upon hearing her words.
Yun Shu lowered her gaze, making her eyes even more unreadable, and it was impossible to guess what she was thinking.
Jiang Luoxi suddenly pondered, "Second Miss Yun, you..."
At this moment, she suddenly realized that no one could guess Prince Ye's thoughts. Yun Shu in front of her was the same as Prince Ye; her thoughts were deep and unfathomable, making it difficult to comprehend!
Unconsciously, she seemed to be at a disadvantage, allowing Yun Shu to gain the initiative!
Jiang Luoxi's expression changed drastically.
"Consort Luo, you say someone instructed you. Was it you or the person behind you who sent people to assassinate Old Master Qin?" Yun Shu suddenly raised her eyes, her gaze like a sharp blade, chillingly fixing on Jiang Luoxi.
Jiang Luoxi's heart skipped a beat. "The assassination of Old Master Qin was at someone's instruction."
She was not lying.
Although the matter was her idea, if it were to be carried out, it had to be reported. She was not the final decision-maker.
Yun Shu's red lips curved slightly.
Seeing this, Jiang Luoxi added, "As long as Second Miss Yun agrees to one thing for me, I will tell you who is behind it. And there are some things you and Prince Ye want to know, which I can also tell you."
This was a great temptation.
She believed Yun Shu and Prince Ye wanted to know.
Even if they could guess that Prince Ning might have some issues, they would definitely not investigate so deeply. Knowing these things from her mouth would save them a lot of detours! She believed Yun Shu was a smart person and knew how to weigh the pros and cons!
Yun Shu's curved red lips were tinged with a smile of interest. "Compared to who is behind you, I'm more curious about how you got the Emperor to agree to enfeoff you as Consort Luo?"
Jiang Luoxi believed she had some deeply hidden secrets, and even Zhan Tianye and the others would find it difficult to investigate Prince Ning's secrets.
But the reality was that they had already investigated Prince Ning's trickery thoroughly.
Therefore, seeing Yun Shu completely uncurious, Jiang Luoxi became flustered and caught off guard.
"Aren't you truly curious? Some things are not as they appear on the surface. Perhaps every move you make is being watched. So many things have happened in the capital, one by one, some of which cannot be traced. Perhaps it was that person who did it. Don't you really want to know?" Jiang Luoxi's tone deliberately grew heavier, intentionally making the matter sound more serious.
However, this sounded a bit like alarmist talk.
In reality, it was absolutely not just alarmist talk; it was indeed true.
Zhan Tianyu knew everything that happened in the capital.
It was even possible that unexplained deaths in the capital might be related to Zhan Tianyu.
Yun Shu appeared even calmer and more composed, as before, making it increasingly impossible to fathom her. She stood up. "Since Consort Luo does not wish to speak, I shall take my leave."
From Jiang Luoxi's actions today, it seemed she had no trump cards left to exchange.
It seemed Jiang Luoxi wanted to escape!
However, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the palace, the injured Jiang Luoxi could not escape. There might be spies of Zhan Tianyu among these people, as well as spies of Zhan Tianhong.
Jiang Luoxi's heart tightened. Biting her teeth, she mustered some courage of desperation. "Since that's the case, I'll be direct. I want to leave the capital! Other than you and Prince Ye, I can't think of anyone else who can help me disappear from the palace and the capital without a trace."
"Therefore, as long as you agree to help me, I will tell you anything. Anything I know, I will tell you! As for why the Emperor married me, it's because I used some means to make the Emperor not want to be controlled by Prince Ye, and by enfeoffing me, he could deter Prince Ye, or even remind Prince Ye who the ruler is and who is the subject."
"Ask me anything else you want to know."
Several sentences in a row.
She spoke anxiously, fearing Yun Shu would refuse.
Yun Shu's eyebrows twitched, as if hesitating about something. Finally, she stopped hesitating and sat down.
"Tell me about any more interesting things," Yun Shu said, leaning back in her chair and looking at Jiang Luoxi with a blank expression.
She really wanted to know what secrets Jiang Luoxi could reveal that they hadn't already investigated.
Jiang Luoxi gritted her teeth again. "So, you've agreed to my request?"
"That depends on what other information you can provide next, and whether that information is enough to exchange for your life," Yun Shu did not give Jiang Luoxi a direct answer.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Luoxi was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. "Yun Shu, you can't toy with me!"
