In the palace, Lu Chengyuan went back to ask Aunt Mo and gave Jiang Xue Ning an answer.

"My aunt said she wanted to leave and live a quieter life."

Jiang Xue Ning nodded and said, "Wait until Gui Ye has finished giving instructions, then you can hand over the things you have on hand and get ready to set off."

The problem was with Guiye. He had been tortured in prison, but he still refused to confess and didn't say anything useful.

Wu Jin said, "He has been clamoring to see you."

"Then go and meet him."

Jiang Xue Ning knew his character too well. He was extremely cunning and would not cry until he saw the coffin.

She changed into a neat set of clothes and went to the prison where Guiye was imprisoned.

As soon as I entered, I smelled a faint smell of blood. Guiye was hung on the rack and tied up with iron chains. After being tortured, there was no intact part of his body, and it looked bloody.

The prison warden brought a chair over, and Jiang Xuening sat down and looked up at her, "What do you want to say to me?"

Guiye opened his mouth in pain, "Give me one chance, this time I will be loyal to you and have no second thoughts."

Jiang Xue Ning didn't believe a word of it. She had once given him a chance.

"If that's all you want to say, we have nothing to talk about."

"Gu Mingyue has been dead for so long, and the court doesn't like us. We have a hard time." Gui Ye argued, "I just want to find a way out for myself and the people of Baidu City. This can't be considered a betrayal. If she were still alive, I wouldn't have gone to this point."

It was a good point, but she didn't waver at all, and said coldly, "I didn't say you were wrong, but there is a saying that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you are outsmarted and fall into my hands, you have to admit it."

"Okay, you're very good!"

Guiye spat out a mouthful of blood fiercely, "Kill me if you have the guts, I'm not afraid."

He knew that she wanted to get the internal situation of Baidu City from him, so he was fearless.

Jiang Xue Ning half-closed her eyes and sneered, "Your life is worthless, but the lives of my people are very valuable."

The city lord had rebelled, and the situation inside Baidu City was unclear. She didn't want her people to go there and take risks, so it would be best not to send troops to resolve the situation there.

Therefore, Guiye, the city lord who knows Baidu City best, becomes particularly important.

"Oh, since you want me to tell the truth, Your Majesty is good at showing sincerity."

Jiang Xue Ning swung the whip in her hand, "Since torture doesn't work on you, let's try something else."

"You don't care about your own life, but you always care about your family's."

Guiye sneered, "It's useless to threaten me with this. If you want to kill me, then kill me."

He relied on his father-in-law to make a fortune and rise to power. He did not have a good relationship with the tigress in his family. Of course, what he was most dissatisfied with was that the tigress only gave birth to a daughter for him.

At this point, he naturally wouldn't care about them.

Jiang Xue Ning sneered, "Your sons in Xinghua Village are very cute, and the woman named Qiu Niang is also very gentle."

"How do you know?" Guiye's expression changed.

She continued to use him back then, of course she knew his weaknesses and where he hid the sweet spot in his heart.

After arresting him, they sent spies to sneak into Baidu City to investigate. Unexpectedly, he was still in Xinghua Village, and both of them had a second child. The two of them were still in love for a long time.

She smiled mysteriously, "I know a lot more. If you don't obey me, I will kill your son and your lover. Then I will tell the city lord's wife about your ugly deeds. I believe that the lady will cooperate with me to crush your power."

Guiye finally realized how cruel and ruthless the woman in front of him was and that he could not fool her at all.

"you are vicious!"

He could die, but if his son was gone, he would really be rootless, and he couldn't bear to do that after all.

Jiang Xue Ning changed to a comfortable position, propped up her chin with her hand, and said in a cold tone, "Even if you don't cooperate with Baidu City, I still have a way to take it down. I just want to spend more energy. If you want to save your son's life, you have to spit out something valuable."

Qinghe brought her a cup of hot tea. She took a sip and waited patiently.

Guiye finally lowered his stubborn head and pulled the corners of his mouth weakly, "Actually, I didn't want to betray you at first. Three years ago, I met a woman who made me change my mind."

"Oh, what kind of woman can actually sway you."

People like him are suspicious and cautious, and are not easy to fool.

When Guiye mentioned this, his eyes revealed a hint of brilliance, "She said that she is the descendant of Empress Dugu, a descendant of God, and the daughter of destiny."

He was bewitched unknowingly and became the woman's slave, doing things for her.

But after sobering up, he was cautious. He felt that he couldn't just put his bet on her, so he cultivated a fake and prepared to go to Beijing to try and increase his voice.

Who knew that he had bad luck and chose the wrong time. It just so happened that the situation in Beijing was changing, and Jiang Xue Ning got it.

This set of words sounded particularly familiar, Jiang Xue said helplessly, "That woman must be Qiluo, the Saintess of the Snow Clan."

Guiye was surprised and speechless and said, "You know so much."

Jiang Xue Ning's expression darkened slightly. The Snow Clan's hands were really long.

"Tell me everything you know. I won't touch your son's mistress and I'll spare your life for now."

"Do you keep your word?"

"You have no choice..."

Jiang Xue Ning asked someone to call Jiang Li and Lu Chengyuan. The interrogation lasted a whole night and was long and torturous.

By the time they walked out of the prison, it was already dawn and the three of them looked unhappy.

Guiye is indeed an old fox, and he says a lot of surprising things. The Snow Clan’s plans also gradually surfaced, which is shocking.

Lu Chengyuan pressed his temple and said, "Do you think what he said is credible? Is it just alarmist?"

He always felt that Guiye was a very scheming person.

"It's about 60 to 70 percent credible." Jiang Xue Ning said with a headache, "I can't believe it completely, but there are some credible points."

As for the Snow Clan, based on what she currently has in her hands, they do have big plans.

"Empress Dugu was the founding queen, but she failed to maintain the prosperity of the Snow Clan, so this time they want more."

This is also why even though Xiao Shujin was pushed to become the queen, she was quickly abandoned and silenced after something happened.

This time, they didn't want the position of queen.

Jiang Li asked, "What are you going to do next?"

She said tiredly, "Go back to sleep first. Your brain is like a mess now. You should go back and have a good rest too."

She returned home to take a bath and rest, and the letter from Yunmeng Prefecture finally arrived.

After Qing He received it, he did not disturb her. Instead, he put the letter on the desk so that she could see it at a glance when she woke up and came to the study.

In the prison cell, Gui Ye was curled up in the corner with blood at the corners of his mouth.

Slowly I lost my breath...
