The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Prince Qing's Mansion.

Zhou Qin walked into the gate of the palace and patted herself on the head lightly.

For some reason, after she came out of Qingfeng Restaurant, she felt dizzy, as if she had been beaten.

She shook her head vigorously, took a deep breath, and tried to wake herself up.

But this inhalation made her feel something abnormal, her chest was actually very painful.

She opened her blouse to have a look, but saw a clear palm print on it.

"This is, which bastard!" She was surprised and angry, and compared the palm prints, but found that the palm was bigger than hers, and it seemed to be a man's palm.

It's just that she couldn't remember anyway, who did it, she didn't even realize it.

"Don't let me find you!" She scolded angrily.

But that's all she could do, after all, she couldn't find any suspicious targets at all.

She sorted it out, came to Zhao Zheng's door, and knocked lightly.

There was no answer at the door.

She thought for a while, opened the door and walked in. When she came to the inner room, she saw Zhao Zheng was sleeping soundly.

"My lord." She called softly.

But Zhao Zheng didn't wake up, so in desperation, she could only call a few more times.

Finally, after several beeps, Zhao Zheng opened his eyes.

"My lord, my subordinate..." Zhou Qin hurriedly reported.

But before he finished speaking, Zhao Zheng raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face.

Snapped!
Zhou Qin was slapped so that the corners of her mouth were covered with blood. She quickly lowered her head to prevent Zhao Zheng from discovering her resentment:

"My lord, I have something important to report."

"Speak." Zhao Zheng shouted coldly. It is not easy to fall asleep when he is old. He was extremely annoyed to be woken up like this.

"The subordinates acted according to the plan, and thought they had already succeeded. But the clinker, the real target is no longer in the Honglu Temple." Zhou Qin said.

Zhao Zheng's expression changed, and he shouted: "What's the matter, where are you?"

"After my subordinates came out from Honglu Temple, they found some traces, and followed the traces all the way to pursue them. In the end, they traced to a certain place."

"Where?" Zhao Zheng asked.

"Bai family." Zhou Qin replied, looking a little dazed. When she said these two words, she suddenly felt a little unreal, but this feeling disappeared quickly.

Zhao Zheng heard a hint of anger on his face: "It turned out to be him! I thought I would deal with him in the future, but unexpectedly jumped out at this time. If you dare to spoil my good deeds, you will die!"

Zhou Qin said hastily: "My lord, he has the backing of Jin Yiwei. He just did a scene, and he went to Beizhen Fusi with Jin Yiwei. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to move him."

Zhao Zheng got off the bed, took a few steps on the spot, and frowned slightly: "Why did Bai Ying protect those foreign envoys?"

Hearing this question, Zhou Qin was in a trance again, and said involuntarily:
"Probably because he wanted to please Zhao Qi. How could he retire so easily when he was once an official to the Grand Tutor?"

For her answer, Zhao Zheng agreed very much. He sneered and said, "Power really touches people's hearts. But power is good, but you have to live to enjoy it!"

Zhou Qin's heart moved, and she looked at him: "My lord, what shall we do?"

Zhao Zheng sneered: "Let's give Baiying what was used to deal with Jia Jue."

"But what should Jia Jue do?" Zhou Qin asked.

"Don't worry, after we get rid of Bai Ying, we'll settle the score with him," Zhao Zheng said.

"Yes!" Zhou Qin replied and backed out.

Watching Zhou Qin leave, Zhao Zheng snorted coldly: "Bai Ying, heh."

……

Beizhen Fusi.

Bai Ying looked at Ji Zhong coldly, and shouted:
"Ji Zhong, do you think that you can conclude that I poisoned the second prince because you found some false 'evidence' in my residence?"

Ji Zhong looked back at him without hesitation: "Master Bai, I didn't say that this matter is related to you, but I just wanted to ask you where the two sets of night clothes and the box of poison came from."

Yes, what they found from the Baiying Mansion just now were two sets of night clothes and a box full of various poisons.

Bai Ying said angrily: "I've said it many times, this matter must be framed by someone, it has nothing to do with me!"

Ji Zhong looked at him with a sneer and said, "Master Bai was once a grand tutor, so he should know that such words are probably untenable."

"Ji Zhong! Why don't you think about it, why am I going to poison the second prince? What good does this do for me!" Bai Ying yelled at Ji Zhong angrily.

Ji Zhong looked at him: "I'm afraid I have to ask Boss Bai about this matter, why did you poison the second prince?"

Bai Ying gave him a hard look: "Enough! I don't want to entangle you anymore. If you have the guts, just kill me!"

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and didn't say another word.

Seeing him like this, Ji Zhong couldn't help it. After all, Bai Ying had a special status, so he couldn't use torture, let alone put the shit bowl on his head.

Based on the current evidence alone, there is indeed no way to convict him.

However, when Ji Zhong was helpless, a Jin Yiwei suddenly came to report:

"My lord, when we were searching the property of the Bai family, we found a person in a separate courtyard, who was extremely suspicious."

"Oh? Bring someone here." Ji Zhong said hastily.

Jin Yiwei took the order to leave, but after a short while, he escorted a person and walked over.

Ji Zhong looked over, but saw that the man was tall, with a rough face, and looked very burly, but he was blind in one eye, and his high spirits suddenly diminished.

Seeing this person, Ji Zhong was taken aback for a moment, but then exclaimed:

"Zhao Cheng!"

Hearing his voice, Bai Ying was also startled, and quickly opened her eyes to look.

Seeing this, he was immediately shocked: "It really is you! Zhao Cheng, you are still alive!"

Zhao Cheng, the commander of the guards under the abolished prince.

Zhao Cheng heard Bai Ying's words, turned his head to look at him, and said to him calmly:

"Bai Ying, you were arrested too? However, Zhao Tai is dead, and we have avenged the crown prince. Even if we die, we deserve to die."

Hearing this, Ji Zhong looked at Bai Ying with a smile on his face.

Bai Ying was shocked and angry when she heard the words: "It's nonsense! Zhao Cheng, I have nothing to do with you, don't even think about grabbing me!"

Zhao Cheng said lightly: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, you conspired with me to get rid of Zhao Tai, I am already very grateful to you."

"Nonsense! What nonsense! Who on earth hired you to slander me like this!" Bai Ying was trembling with anger, her old face was completely blackened.

Seeing this, Ji Zhong asked Zhao Cheng: "Zhao Cheng, would you like to explain this matter in detail?"

Zhao Cheng said calmly: "If you have anything to ask, just ask. I just want to die quickly."

"It was you and Bai Ying who conspired to poison the second prince?" Ji Zhong asked.

"Yes." Zhao Cheng answered simply, and then explained the details one by one.

Listening to Zhao Cheng's confession, Bai Ying heard that the blood in his whole body was almost congealed. He knew very well that with Zhao Qi's temperament, as soon as Zhao Cheng appeared, he would be finished. No evidence or motive was important anymore.

"Who is it, so vicious!" He looked up to the sky and cried out sadly.
