Quick Wear: The system kidnapped a host through a supermarket

Chapter 79 The seeds of doubt were planted

When Liu Jiaojiao saw the change in Emperor Xia's expression, she knew that Emperor Xia believed him.

Liu Jiaojiao continued, "I will leave the palace in a while. Do you believe there will be assassins? They were sent by your eldest son to frame your second son. After I return to the inn, your eldest son will send someone to deliver something. Do you believe it?"

Emperor Xia: "How did you know?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Well, how about you send someone to send a message to your eldest son to see if he has already made the arrangements?"

Emperor Xia: "No need, what do you want?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Your eldest son must be in trouble and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to kill someone. Are you thinking of passing on the throne? Or does your eldest son think that he is the most likely person to inherit the throne, so he wants to eliminate dissidents?"

Just as the Emperor of Xia was about to speak, Liu Jiaojiao continued, "Don't tell me that I have no interest in who will succeed the throne of your Great Xia Kingdom, but I only have one question. If my guess just now is correct, isn't it too ruthless to start with one's own brothers to eliminate dissidents? If the eldest prince is really such a person, is his temperament really suitable for inheriting the throne? If this incident becomes the fuse, the brothers will kill each other, and in the end the one who has no ability but is not involved in the dispute will be left as the emperor. Is the remaining prince really capable enough? Is being an emperor really just about fame and fortune? Shouldn't it be about the prosperity of the people, the prosperity of the country, and the good weather and good harvests?"

Liu Jiaojiao didn't expect Xia Zhenqi to believe her, but once the seed of doubt was planted, speculation began.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Let's talk about the drought first. I think we should offer sacrifices first to make it rain. Then I will continue to investigate. What do you think?"

Emperor Xia came back to his senses and said, "Okay, if you need anything, I'll ask someone to prepare it right away."

Liu Jiaojiao said a lot of things, and Emperor Xia wrote them down one by one, then called the eunuchs to prepare.

Liu Jiaojiao: "How long will it take to be ready?"

Emperor Xia: "It should be possible tonight."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Do you have any temples or Taoist temples here?"

Emperor Xia: "Yes, it is located at Jiuyuan Temple on Jiuyuan Mountain outside the west city gate."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Buddhist venue?"

Emperor Xia: "Yes."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Then I won't go. Where is the Taoist temple?"

Emperor Xia: "Jing'an Temple, outside the north city gate."

Liu Jiaojiao: "That's fine. I'll study it and ask the female relatives to go and pray. You can choose a few of your queens and concubines, the wives of the princes, and two married princesses. Just the female relatives, and we'll set off one or two days after the sacrifice, okay?"

Emperor Xia: "Why is this?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "If it is a punishment from heaven, praying for blessings will be useful. If it is done by bad people, I will continue to investigate and see if it rains again after praying for blessings."

Emperor Xia: "Can't we just pray for blessings?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "No, since I'm already here, it would be unreasonable for me not to offer sacrifices and let it rain here first. Moreover, if it's not a punishment from heaven, the women will only be accumulating merits for the Great Xia Kingdom if they go there. The merits of being pure and abstaining from desires are not enough to support the punishment from heaven."

Emperor Xia: "Why can't we go to Jiuyuan Temple?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Are you going to become a monk or choose a son to become a monk? Buddhism requires hard practice to repay karmic debts, while Taoism only requires sincere prayers. You can know if it is a punishment from heaven after a try. Why should you or the prince go?"

Emperor Xia: "Okay, I understand. I will follow Princess Yongkang's instructions."

Liu Jiaojiao: "How many days do you plan to let it rain first?"

Emperor Xia: "One day, is that enough?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Okay, it doesn't matter how many days it takes."

Liu Jiaojiao paused and continued, "Change your clothes and come out of the palace with me."

Emperor Xia: "What's the matter?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Come with me and meet a thorn, so you can see who it is. Don't worry, there is no danger."

Emperor Xia was about to refuse.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Don't say you won't go. I'm in danger because of you. Do you have the nerve not to go?"

Emperor Xia sighed and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Well, ask someone to bring some fruits and vegetables. I'll eat some. You can go and change your clothes."

Emperor Xia stood up, asked someone to bring him some fruit, and then went to change his clothes.

Liu Jiaojiao observed the fruits of Daxia Kingdom, then ate a few and put the rest in her storage ring.

Liu Jiaojiao had just taken the last bite of peach when Liu Xing and Xia Zhenqi, who had changed his clothes, walked in.

Liu Jiaojiao wiped her hands, stood up, and said, "Let's go, but you have to come back by yourself later. I don't have time to take you back."

Emperor Xia nodded slightly and followed Liu Jiaojiao out of the palace.

Emperor Xia was wearing the uniform of a guard, so he could only walk, and the group quickly left the palace.

Liu Jiaojiao got off the sedan chair and walked forward. Liu Xing and Emperor Xia followed Liu Jiaojiao.

As soon as Liu Jiaojiao left the palace, she discovered the uninvited guests on the street.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Meteor."

Liu Xing took two steps to Liu Jiaojiao.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Take me to a place with few people, preferably a dead end."

Liu Xing nodded and walked in front of Liu Jiaojiao.

Xia Zhenqi followed Liu Jiaojiao, and the three of them soon reached a dead end.

As soon as the three of them entered a dead end, Liu Jiaojiao already felt that there were six people in total, all of whom were in the Jindan stage. It seemed that the eldest prince was quite generous.

Liu Jiaojiao pulled Liu Xing and Xia Zhenqi and suddenly ran into a dead end. The six people behind them didn't have time to arrange someone to keep watch, so they could only chase in together.

Liu Jiaojiao glanced at the small map and saw that the six people had caught up with them. She pushed Xia Zhenqi and Liu Xing forward, teleported directly, pressed the first person's acupoint, and then did the same thing. All six people were instantly immobilized. Liu Jiaojiao then removed the chins of all people in reverse order and brought them in front of Xia Zhenqi one by one.

Liu Jiaojiao walked forward and said to someone, "Tell me, who sent you here?"

Liu Jiaojiao reset the man's jaw.

The man died instantly with blood oozing from his mouth.

Liu Jiaojiao opened the man's mouth and took a look, then said, "Deadpool, there's poison in your teeth."

Liu Jiaojiao walked around the dead body and went to the next person.

Liu Jiaojiao pointed at Xia Zhenqi and said, "Look who that is. If I say you are here to assassinate him, what do you think your master will do?"

The man looked up at Xia Zhenqi, his pupils constricted instantly, and then he looked at Liu Jiaojiao viciously.

Liu Jiaojiao slapped the man in the face and said, "Stare at me? Do you believe I'll dig your eyeballs out?"

Liu Jiaojiao wiped her hands on the man in disgust and said, "Let's make a deal. You tell me who sent you here, and I'll ask him to pretend that what happened today never happened. You go back and say that I found you and ran away. Otherwise, your Nine Clans will not be able to be saved. Forget about the Nine Clans. Do you think he really can't find out who your master is? Think about it. I don't have much patience."

After saying that, Liu Jiaojiao pushed the man down and began to undress him.

Emperor Xia: "What are you going to do? In broad daylight!"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Don't talk."

Liu Jiaojiao turned around and glared at Xia Zhenqi.

Liu Jiaojiao's mind moved, and an acupuncture needle appeared in her hand.

Liu Jiaojiao: "I have developed a new acupuncture method. Let me try it on you. Don't be afraid. It just hurts a little."

Liu Jiaojiao stabbed the man on the top of his head with a needle.

Liu Jiaojiao: "There are many gaps on the top of a person's head. Do you see the shadow now?"

Liu Jiaojiao waved her hand in front of the man's eyes, and the man's eyes gradually became unfocused.

Liu Jiaojiao gave him another injection and said, "Is your vision blurry now? It's like you're going blind and can't see anything clearly."

Liu Jiaojiao observed the man's pupils again and continued, "Don't think that you can't find your nine clans because you are deadpools. Even if you are all dead, I can still summon your souls and find your nine clans. Moreover, all five of you will be tortured to death by me. Of course, I can't tell how long the torture will last. After all, my acupuncture method needs to be tested. I can't bear to let you die so quickly. Have you seen your ancestors now?"

The man seemed to have seen some horrifying scene. His whole body began to tremble and beads of sweat appeared on his head.

Liu Jiaojiao pulled out the needle and closed the man's jaw.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Think about it. If you don't tell me, I won't give others a chance. They will just become my test subjects. After all, four people are not enough."

Liu Jiaojiao smiled at the man, her smile like an evil ghost that wanted to eat people.

The man gasped violently, as if he had been holding his breath in the water for a long time.

Man: "I say, I say, but I said, can you really promise not to let His Majesty pursue my master?"

Liu Jiaojiao looked at Xia Zhenqi, and Xia Zhenqi said very sensibly: "I agree."

Man: "My master is the eldest prince. The eldest prince asked us to assassinate you, not His Majesty."

Liu Jiaojiao: "No more?"

Man: “That’s all.”

Liu Jiaojiao: "Oh? Do you think you can get away with just telling half of it?"

Liu Jiaojiao removed the man's chin again, and inserted three needles into his chest, saying, "I gave you the chance, but you didn't cherish it. Then let me try the next needle method."

The man instantly convulsed and foamed at the mouth.

Liu Jiaojiao pulled out the needle again and closed the man's jaw.

This time the man had a hard time breathing.

Liu Jiaojiao: "This is your last chance, you'd better be honest."

The man said intermittently: "I...I really...am the eldest prince's...Deadpool..."

Liu Jiaojiao: "I didn't say you lied to me. What I just said was that you only told half of it. This is really the last chance. If you don't cherish it, I will really kill you."

Man: "My...my master asked us to...disguise ourselves as...the Second Prince's men..."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Where's the proof?"

Man: "He has the token of the Second Prince's Palace."

Liu Jiaojiao turned around and touched the corpse, and sure enough, she felt a wooden sign.

Liu Jiaojiao looked at Xia Zhenqi.

Xia Zhenqi sighed helplessly.

Liu Jiaojiao raised her hand and gave the man a few more injections.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Don't be afraid, this is for your recovery, it won't hurt."

A few minutes later, Liu Jiaojiao pulled out the needle, untied the man's acupuncture points, and said, "Let's go, take the body away, I'll leave the sign behind."

The man got up from the ground and untied the acupuncture point for his companion. The four of them closed each other's jaws and ran away carrying the corpse.

Liu Jiaojiao: "What's going on now?"

Xia Zhenqi: "What do you want?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Come back to the inn with me, and see if your eldest son will send me something."

Xia Zhenqi: "No need, I believe it."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Then what do you want to do?"

Xia Zhenqi: "Take me back to the palace, and I'll tell you."

Liu Jiaojiao frowned and said, "Are you sure?"

Xia Zhenqi: "What are you going to do?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Nothing, I'm just a little lazy. I can send you back, but I will use my own method."

Xia Zhenqi didn't understand, but nodded anyway.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Liuxing, you should go back to the inn and rest. You can take care of your own dinner. I might be back late."

Liuxing glanced at Xia Zhenqi, and Xia Zhenqi nodded slightly.

Meteor bowed and left.

Liu Jiaojiao and Xia Zhenqi returned to the palace gate. Liu Jiaojiao showed the token and the soldier bowed.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Little brother, wait a moment."

The soldier turned around and looked at Liu Jiaojiao.

Liu Jiaojiao: "I need to see the commander of the Imperial Guard for something. Please let him know. I'll be waiting for him at the palace gate."

The soldier nodded and left.

Liu Jiaojiao and Xia Zhenqi entered the palace and stood aside.

Xia Zhenqi: "Just go in directly, why are you looking for the commander of the Imperial Guards?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Don't ask, I'm too lazy to explain, just wait and see."

Xia Zhenqi was a little unhappy. He thought Liu Jiaojiao wanted the commander of the imperial guards to carry her sedan chair, but Xia Zhenqi could only walk as he was dressed.

Soon, the commander of the Royal Guard arrived.

The commander cupped his hands and said, "Princess Yongkang, what can I say to you?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Look who he is."

The commander looked at Xia Zhenqi.

Just as the commander was about to salute, Liu Jiaojiao held the commander's arm and said, "Do us a favor and take us to the imperial study."

Commander: "Yes, I will arrange the sedan chair right away."

Liu Jiaojiao: "No, don't be afraid."

Liu Jiaojiao grabbed the commander's arm with one hand and Xia Zhenqi's arm with the other, used her light skills, and went straight to the imperial study.

Liu Jiaojiao stepped on several rooftops to gain leverage on the way. Some guards saw someone climbing walls and flying over eaves, but after seeing the commander's clothes, they did not chase after him. The three of them soon arrived at the imperial study.

Liu Jiaojiao let go of the two of them, brushed her hands, and said, "Thank you for your help, Commander."

Commander: "Princess Yongkang, you are welcome, Your Majesty."

Xia Zhenqi: "Go back."

The commander saluted and left.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Ask the kitchen to make me a bowl of noodles. I'm hungry."

Xia Zhenqi: "Rong Gu, change your clothes first, Xiao Yunzi."

Xia Zhenqi called out to his chief eunuch, who came running over.

Liu Jiaojiao walked into the imperial study and sat directly on the chair.

Soon, Xia Zhenqi came back and the eunuch closed the door again.

Liu Jiaojiao wanted to stand up, but when she saw the door was closed, she simply didn't get up.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Just ask your second son to come over."

Xia Zhenqi: "What?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Why don't you ask where that brand came from?"

Xia Zhenqi: "You said you would pretend that this never happened."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Yes, I didn't intend to ask you to tell the truth. I'll just ask your second son if the badge is his. If he says he lost it a few months ago, it means your second son has nothing to do with it. If he says he lost it recently, aren't you afraid that he has reached some kind of deal with the eldest son? Or are you going to delay it and talk about it later? Then you won't be able to find out anything."

Xia Zhenqi thought for a moment and said, "The second brother won't do that. Not to mention that he hasn't completed his training yet and doesn't dare to attack you, judging from his character, he won't do that either."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Do you trust your second brother so much?"

Xia Zhenqi: "You don't know the second brother's character. He is humble and polite. He won't do anything to assassinate others. Even if the eldest brother has this intention, he won't look for the second brother. The second brother is not stupid."

Liu Jiaojiao: "I don't care about your family's affairs. I have raised my opinion. It's your business whether you listen to it or not. You asked me to send you back. What do you want to tell me?"
