The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Xia Qian looked at the hanging Nian Xi and said in a cold tone: "You still won't tell me? Why did you appear near the Yangxin Palace? What did you hear?"

Nian Xi just closed her eyes and said nothing. In fact, with Nian Xi's strength, she could escape from this dungeon, but she still had things she wanted to do, so she stayed here and was tortured.

Seeing that Nian Xi didn't say anything, Xia Qian knew how stubborn she was, so he ordered the servants in the dungeon to "entertain" Nian Xi well, and then went back to his room.

The moment Xia Ji opened his purse, the chrysanthemums and crabapples inside scattered all over the ground.

When Xia Jue saw the two kinds of flowers, she couldn't help but frown. Then she looked carefully at the purse in her hand. It was a bright yellow gourd-shaped purse decorated with brocade beads. Just looking at the embroidery on the sachet, Xia Jue couldn't detect any clues. But she was sure that this person must be extremely good at needlework, because the gourd embroidered on the purse was lifelike.

Xia Qian always felt that this purse was somewhat familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen it.

He decided to keep the purse and show it to the emperor tomorrow, hoping that the emperor would be able to find some clues.

The next day, Xia Qi came to the dungeon as usual.

"How about it, do you want to say it?" Xia Qian looked at Nian Xi and asked.

Nian Xi looked up at him and still didn't speak.

Xia Qian was a little annoyed, but helpless.

Just as he was about to leave, Nian Xi suddenly said, "I can tell you everything you want to know, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

At this time, Xia Qian turned around and looked at Nian Xi with a little surprise, as if he couldn't understand why she wanted to confess after experiencing so many days of torture.

Nian Xi continued in a cold voice: "Hey! I'm talking to you, what do you think?"

Xia Qian looked at Nian Xi with a playful look in his eyes: "Now that you are a prisoner, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"

Nian Xi looked at Xia Qian with deep eyes, and the corners of her lips slowly pulled up, revealing a very bright and dazzling smile, which actually added a bit of brightness to her ordinary appearance. "If I don't tell you, you will never be able to find out my identity. And I know what the truth you want to investigate is!"

Xia Qian immediately realized his distraction and said in an even more vicious tone: "How shameless! Do you know what I want to investigate? Tell me!"

When Nian Xi heard what Xia Qian said, he just smiled in relief and said, "I think there is a prince in the palace who was accidentally poisoned by Calla Lily and Chun Xiangmeng. You are going to investigate the person behind it."

When Xia Qian heard what Nian Xi said, his expression instantly turned extremely gloomy. Xia Qian looked at Nian Xi with murderous intent, like a lion about to burst into anger. His deep eyes flashed with a cold light, "You know? You did it!"

Xia Qian's words were affirmative. Nian Xi was not afraid of Xia Qian's eyes at all. He smiled and said, "I have been captured by you and thrown into this dungeon. Even if I have supernatural powers, how can I arrange all this without anyone noticing? Are all your men idiots?"

When Xia Qian heard Nian Xi's mocking words, there was still a frost on his face that seemed to never melt away. He looked at Nian Xi and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will hand you over to the emperor for punishment?"

Nian Xi laughed loudly, "You won't. If you send me to the emperor for punishment, then after I meet the emperor, if I reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, I'm afraid you will also be in countless troubles. Then it depends on how much trust the emperor has in you!"

Xia Qian narrowed his eyes and stared at Nian Xi. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree to your terms. But if you dare to play any tricks, don't blame me for being rude!"

Nian Xi's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, but she quickly regained her composure. She looked directly into Xia Qian's eyes and said solemnly, "I want you to let me out and guarantee my safety. I will tell you everything I know."

Xia Qi pondered in his heart, weighed the pros and cons, and finally nodded. "I can promise you, but you have to tell the truth!"

Nian Xi smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. "Deal!"

Xia Kai sent someone to untie the chains on Nian Xi. Nian Xi stretched his muscles and followed Xia Kai out of the dungeon.

"Go ahead!" Xia Qian looked at Nian Xi coldly.

"I can only tell you that I wanted to send a letter to the emperor. I know nothing else." Nian Xi deliberately whetted Xia Qi's appetite.

"Where's the letter?" Xia Qi asked.

"The letter... was hidden by me. If you can guarantee my safety, I can take you to find it." Nian Xi put forward the conditions.

A hint of doubt flashed in Xia Qian's eyes, but in order to find out the truth, he still agreed to Nian Xi.

"I hope you don't play any tricks, otherwise..." Xia Qian threatened.

"I know." Nian Xi responded calmly, but he was thinking about the next plan in his mind.

Nian Xi brought Xia Qian to a remote palace. She pointed to a stone in the corner and said, "The letter is under the stone."

Xia Qi walked forward, moved the stone, and found a letter. He picked up the letter. There was no signature on the envelope, but there was a special flower printed on the seal. Xia Qi frowned slightly, he had never seen such a flower before.

Nian Xi watched from the side, secretly relieved. Her mission was half completed, and now she just needed to find a chance to escape.

Xia Qian opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter. His expression became more and more solemn, and finally he put the letter in his arms.

"You can go now." Xia Qian turned and said to Nian Xi.

Nian Xi nodded and was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by Xia Qian.

"Wait, do you know who wrote the letter?" Xia Qi looked at Nian Xi sharply.

Nian Xi's heart tightened, but she quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "I don't know, I just found a letter here by chance. Because it is of great importance, I put the letter here again. I went to the Yangxin Palace to meet the emperor and ask him to send someone to investigate. Who knew that you would catch me like a thief and lock me up."

"It's better this way..." Xia Kari warned, "Don't let me see you again."

Nian Xi left in a hurry, feeling lucky that he had successfully concealed the secret from Xia Qie.

However, after she left, Xia Jian secretly sent his confidant to continue following Nian Xi. Xia Jian did not believe what Nian Xi said, and he intuitively felt that the letter must have something to do with Nian Xi.

Not long after Nian Xi walked away, he realized that there was a man with relatively advanced martial arts skills secretly observing him from behind. Nian Xi did not panic, but strolled around the palace slowly.

Because Nian Xi was in a very miserable state, many people looked at her with surprise along the way. The servants in the Forbidden City gathered in twos and threes, pointing at Nian Xi's back.
