Chapter 510 Distrust

Hearing Li Beifeng's sudden question, Zhou Qiuning was slightly startled, and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant, but soon reappeared on her face. Google Search Reading

She stared at Li Beifeng quietly, with a playful smile in her eyes.

"Why, are you still thinking about your little lover?"

Li Beifeng ignored her teasing. He did not forget the purpose of coming to see Zhou Qiuning last night, nor did he forget what she promised him.

"This is what you promised me!"

"It seems that you care about her very much?"

Zhou Qiuning glanced at him, and seeing that Li Beifeng did not speak, she suddenly chuckled: "In fact, I don't know where she is."

Li Beifeng's eyes suddenly turned cold: "You lied to me?"

This woman lied to herself again?

"I didn't lie to you!"

Zhou Qiuning shook her head: "Although I don't know where she is, I promised you that I would return her to you intact, and I will definitely do it!"

"It's just that I need some time!"

Li Beifeng looked at her coldly, "Do you think I will still believe you?"

Last night was the last time he believed in this woman.

Unexpectedly, she still lied to him.

"So, you don't believe me anymore?"

A hint of gloom appeared in Zhou Qiuning's eyes, but it disappeared quickly. Then her face was calm, as if she didn't care about anything.

"Go away!"

Li Beifeng glanced at her coldly: "Before I regret it."

He didn't want to say anything more to the woman in front of him.

It was also his fault that he might still believe her because of the last bit of affection they had known each other before, but he didn't expect that she would eventually take advantage of his trust.

For Li Beifeng, the last affection between him and Zhou Qiuning also completely dissipated with today.

He didn't want to see her again.

...

The smile on Zhou Qiuning's face disappeared bit by bit.

This time, there was no emotion on her face.

She looked at Li Beifeng calmly, as if she wanted to say something. But when the words came to her lips, she didn't say a word.

The brilliance in her eyes also disappeared at this moment.

She lowered her eyes slightly, and didn't look at Li Beifeng's eyes again. Then, she turned around and glanced at the scenery in the courtyard.

"It seems that you really don't believe me!"

She seemed to be sighing, and seemed to be talking to herself.

In the end, she didn't say anything more. She turned around and jumped, lightly climbed over the courtyard wall, and soon disappeared.

Li Beifeng stood there, silent for a moment.

"Come here!"

Not long after, two female disciples walked into the courtyard outside the door.

This is a stronghold of Ruyi Tower in the capital. These female disciples are elite intelligence disciples from Ruyi Tower.

Ruyi Tower can have intelligence capabilities comparable to the terrifying Qintiansi in the world, relying on these Ruyi Tower disciples all over the world.

"Mr. Li, what do you want?"

A female disciple stepped forward.

"You, help me find someone!"

Li Beifeng glanced at them and paused: "From the capital, dig three feet deep to find!"

"..."

Zhao Jing successfully rebelled, and he was not far from ascending the throne.

When he really gained a foothold, the power in the capital would be completely overturned. By that time, many of the original balances would be broken.

And as the crown princess, Xie Wan'er would inevitably be persecuted.

Therefore...

Li Beifeng must find Xie Wan'er's whereabouts as soon as possible and rescue her.

Otherwise, when Zhao Jing has time to come to his senses, her situation must be extremely dangerous.

Thinking of this, Li Beifeng ordered the disciples in the courtyard to keep an eye on Emperor Zhao in the room, and then left the stronghold.

...

Night gradually fell.

Prince's Mansion!

The Prince's Mansion tonight is brightly lit.

The Prince's Mansion, which has been silent for a long time, is inexplicably lively today.

In the hall of the Prince's Mansion, several figures gathered here. These people are the counselors of the Prince's Mansion, responsible for helping His Royal Highness the Prince to make plans and solve problems.

And behind the plan that Zhao Jing has been preparing for a long time, these counselors are indispensable.

Many counselors in the mansion have secretly entered the palace. The rest of them are sitting in the Prince's Mansion, discussing the next action.

Almost everyone's face is filled with excitement and joy.

The plan succeeded!

The people present knew very well that the plan they had planned for so long this time was finally successful!

His Majesty passed away, and His Royal Highness the Prince became the legitimate new emperor and was about to ascend the throne!

And as counselors around His Royal Highness the Prince, they will naturally follow and rise to prominence.

They risked their heads, isn't it for this day? !

"After the death of His Majesty, His Highness's ascension to the throne is just around the corner. No one in the court can stop His Highness anymore. You and I are both meritorious officials!"

"Don't be careless. The situation in the court is now in turmoil. Many ministers are very suspicious of His Highness. His Highness' ascension to the throne may be greatly hindered. We need to plan carefully!"

"Those old ministers who dare to stop us will be killed... Now there is no one in the court who can match us!"

"..."

The counselors present gathered together to discuss the next plan.

Although His Majesty's ascension to the throne is about to become an unstoppable fact, there will still be some troubles before that.

For example, the obstruction of certain ministers in the DPRK.

As soon as the news of His Majesty's death came out, the whole court was shocked and commotion! His Majesty died suddenly, and the reason for his death was so perfunctory. Naturally, many ministers were disbelieving and suspicious.

There are even many ministers who are loyal to His Majesty who suspect that he is in love with His Majesty.

His Highness was in good health, why did he suddenly die? What happened in the DPRK, and who was behind it?

Naturally, these people cannot sit idly by and ignore it.

When these ministers gather together, the power and influence they have at their disposal cannot be underestimated.

His Highness has ascended the throne, and what he needs most now is support.

If they all oppose His Highness, it will not be easy for His Highness to sit firmly on the throne.

Therefore, as His Highness's counselors, they must help His Highness solve problems and solve these troubles.

"It's better..."

At this time, someone in the crowd made a beheading gesture and said viciously: "Let's just send out experts to kill these ministers..."

"No..."

Someone else stopped him and said, "His Majesty has just passed away, and there is chaos in the country. If we attack the ministers again at this time, it will definitely arouse suspicion. By then, I am afraid that His Highness will not be able to explain to the world!"

Everyone present was silent, which was a problem.

Your Highness is not yet firmly established, so it is not appropriate to go on a killing spree.

While everyone was talking about it, a figure appeared quietly outside the hall.

Someone noticed this scene and turned around.

"Zhou, Miss Zhou?"

As one person spoke out, the others immediately turned their heads.

Soon, everyone noticed a beautiful figure appearing outside the hall.

Green dress, tall figure, cool temperament.

At this moment, the girl stood at the door of the hall, quietly watching everyone in the hall.

"Miss Zhou, are you back?"

Someone in the crowd had a look of joy on his face and hurriedly came forward: "We are waiting for you!"

Everyone present looked at Zhou Qiuning's face with a bit more joy, and seemed to have found a bit of backbone.

Everyone present knew very well that the girl Zhou in front of them had quite a lot of background.

The relationship between Miss Zhou and His Highness is not ordinary. His Highness trusts Miss Zhou very much.

What's more, His Highness's success this time was definitely thanks to Miss Zhou in front of him.

His Highness was suddenly put under house arrest by His Majesty. If Miss Zhou hadn't sneaked into the palace to see His Highness, obtained key information, and intercepted His Majesty's intelligence personnel, His Highness's plan might have been exposed!

It was also while His Highness was under house arrest that everyone lost their backbone and were helpless for a while. After all, it is a major event like rebellion and regicide. No matter how good their psychological quality is, it is definitely a huge psychological pressure for counselors like them.

Almost, these people became a piece of loose sand.

It was also Miss Zhou who stood up. She led everyone to carry out the plan in an orderly manner. While contacting the forest guards outside the city, she also controlled the capital's defense forces. She easily controlled the entire capital without spending a single soldier. in hand.

Under the command of Miss Zhou, all their plans went so smoothly.

Once the capital was under control, all plans fell into place.

The Imperial Palace Forbidden Army quickly fell into His Highness's control, and then, with the help of internal and external cooperation, they easily took over the entire palace.

This time, Miss Zhou should be the first to contribute to this plan.

"wait for me?"

Zhou Qiuning glanced at each of their faces and said lightly: "What are you waiting for me to do?"

"His Highness is still in the palace, dealing with the ministers of the DPRK and China. We have not received any instructions from His Highness yet!"

One of them looked at Zhou Qiuning: "According to Miss Zhou's opinion, how should we assist His Highness in ascending the throne?"

The people present regarded Zhou Qiuning as their absolute backbone and trusted him immensely.

"Your Highness has not given any instructions yet. This is the most dangerous time, so you just need to stand still!"

Zhou Qiuning glanced at the people present and spoke calmly.

There are really not many counselors around Zhao Jing who can take on big responsibilities.

Zhao Jinggang had just murdered Emperor Zhao, and the most important thing he needed to do at this moment was to distance himself from this matter.

As long as he does nothing, even if someone suspects it, there will be no evidence.

He is the crown prince of Zhao and the only heir. Once Emperor Zhao dies, he doesn't have to do anything and the throne will fall to him.

At this point in time, the group of counselors under him didn't know how to keep a low profile, and they actually wanted to continue doing something.

Do you really think that all the ministers of Dazhao are idiots?

Do you really think you can't find them?

Thoughts flashed through her mind, and Zhou Qiuning's eyes fell on one of them: "Come here with me!"

"I?"

The counselor pointed by Zhou Qiuning was startled, and then followed Zhou Qiuning to the yard outside the hall with a suspicious face.

"Miss Zhou, do you have anything to do with me?"

In the courtyard, the counselor looked at Miss Zhou in front of him with some uneasiness.

Although this Miss Zhou is much younger than him, she is thoughtful and sharp, and is far superior to him in terms of intelligence and all aspects.

This made the counselor subconsciously fearful when facing Zhou Qiuning.

"You are His Highness's most trusted advisor, right?"

Zhou Qiuning's eyes fell on the counselor in front of him.

This counselor was young and very handsome, so Zhou Qiuning had some impression of him.

This man was once considered a talented scholar, but he was depressed and failed in several imperial examinations. Later, he was favored by Zhao Jing and took him under his command.

In the entire Prince's Mansion, apart from He Jing, this counselor had the best relationship with Zhao Jing.

"Yes, yes..."

The counselor was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, and Miss Zhou asked what was going on.

"Ask you something!"

Zhou Qiuning's eyes fell on his face and she said calmly: "Where is the Crown Princess?"

The counselor's expression suddenly changed slightly. He looked at Zhou Qiuning and said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "Miss Zhou, why...are you asking this?"

"Just ask!"

Zhou Qiuning said softly: "I haven't seen the Crown Princess for a long time. Is it possible that she is no longer in the house?"

A strange look flashed in the counselor's eyes, and then he said: "This... I actually don't know much about this, but I heard that the Crown Princess felt that staying in the house was too boring, and she went out to relax some time ago... As for going Where it went, my subordinates don’t know!”

lie!

Zhou Qiuning saw through the lie of the counselor in front of him at a glance.

"You really don't know?"

Zhou Qiuning glanced at him, her tone slightly cold.

The counselor suddenly shivered and felt as if the air around him had dropped a few degrees. He raised his head and met Zhou Qiuning's expressionless eyes.

Cold and penetrating.

"I don't like people lying to me!"

At this moment, the counselor felt chills all over his body, and a creepy feeling filled his heart.

He subconsciously took a step back, his eyes a little horrified: "Zhou, Miss Zhou..."

"to be honest!"

"I……"

The counselor trembled slightly when faced with Zhou Qiuning's overwhelming momentum.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has ordered... No, you cannot tell anyone where the Crown Princess is!"

"Even I can't say it?"

Zhou Qiuning narrowed her eyes.

"Yes, yes..."

The counselor felt a little tight in his chest and looked a little ugly: "Zhou, Miss Zhou, don't embarrass me..."

"Oh!"

A slightly sarcastic smile appeared on Zhou Qiuning's face.

It turned out that Zhao Jing had been wary of her from the beginning.

He didn't fully trust himself.
