Chapter 70 Chapter 70 One wants to kill, the other is afraid she'll kill...

"When I grew up a little, I realized I was different from everyone else, and there was nothing to force. Even if I shed tears every day, God wouldn't give me the right parents."

Biezhi understood this by the time she was four.

She was different from everyone else.

But Biezhi felt very lucky, so lucky that she even felt that God still favored her. "Except for the matchmaker who brought me to the capital, everyone treated me very well. Even when I was wandering and begging, not to mention being beaten, they didn't drive me away. Later, I moved into Xianyun Tower, where I had enough food and clothing, and I had everything I needed."

The girl's almond-shaped eyes sparkled with unspoken pride when she mentioned this.

Fu Huaiqing stared intently at the joy in her shimmering almond-shaped eyes, his surging eyes sinking like a precipitate. An indescribable emotion surged up, a bitter astringent feeling that lingered for a moment in her heart, then washed over her and rose to her throat.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down as he looked at the girl walking backwards. "It'll only get better in the future."

"Of course." Biezhi's eyes curved. The thought of possibly finding her parents was like a caged bird that had suddenly found its home, so joyful she felt like she was about to fly.

But...

"They," she paused, curling her lips. "They're probably gone, right?"

Fu Huaiqing's thin lips moved for a moment, but she didn't deny it. Biezhi

had guessed it. "His first reaction upon seeing me wasn't like meeting the daughter of an old friend, but more like the daughter of an enemy."

Zhang Yan, reckless, ordered her to be shot, repeatedly aiming for her life. The first time, he even sent his assassins. If Fu Huaiqing hadn't arrived in time, she would have been killed.

The second time, the assassins he sent were countless.

However, Zhang Yan clearly didn't know that the second daughter of the Qin family he saw was actually the assassin from Xianyun Tower. That's why he trusted Yu Jingqing and ordered him to bring the assassins, clearly sensing something was wrong with her.

Jing Qing's skills were among the best in Xianyun Tower. Unbeknownst to Zhang Yan, she was on par with Jing Qing, no less skilled than him.

Fu Huaiqing's eyes, dark as ink, confirmed, "How old were you when Grandma found you?"

"Only six months, it seems." Biezhi couldn't quite remember, having only heard the village elders talk about you before she was abducted. She raised her eyelids in confusion. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Fu Huaiqing remained silent.

Of the murders suspected to involve Zhang Yan, the only one involving a baby girl was the Suzhou Bian family massacre. It was unclear whether Zhang Yan was involved in other tragedies.

Gazing at him for a moment, a flash of inspiration struck her.

Biezhi: "There are clues, right?"

Fu Huaiqing nodded, not hiding anything from her. "I'm not sure if he's involved in other cases."

Hearing this, Biezhi understood, and understood why he hadn't spoken directly.

She didn't want to know about things she wasn't sure about, fearing that she might harm innocent people.

There was one thing that Biezhi was certain of.

"I want to kill him, do you have any objection?"

A voice as clear as spring water echoed around the Dali Temple. Qin Xiao and the others who followed them were all stunned, and the guards on duty in the Dali Temple were even more stunned.

This was the Dali Temple. They openly said they were going to kill people, so how could they just ignore them?

Although they didn't know who they were going to kill, they couldn't say it so casually, as if killing someone was just a common occurrence.

Fu Huaiqing, who had long been accustomed to her style of doing things, concealed the depth in his eyes, and replaced it with a smile that he couldn't help. He hummed indifferently, "Do you need help?"

The other people in the courtyard heard the words and their breathing calmed down.

One wanted to kill someone, and the other was afraid that she wouldn't kill quickly and handed over a knife.

Oh, and the one who handed over the knife was still their Prince Su.

At this moment, the guards in the Dali Temple sincerely and urgently wished that they were deaf and ignorant of the world. They looked at each other in bewilderment, and caught a glimpse of Qin Xiao who seemed to agree. As the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, he did not step forward to dissuade them, so why should they have other opinions on this matter?

Therefore, the guards resolutely decided that they were deaf. Even

if gods came down to earth to investigate the case, they would still be deaf.

"I don't really need help." Bie Zhi had inquired about Zhang Yan. His skills were almost zero. If he was not accompanied by guards, it would be easy for her to kill him. "I just need something."

She raised her hand and waved slightly, motioning Fu Huaiqing to come over.

A slight smile flashed in Fu Huaiqing's eyes, and he leaned over.

Bie Zhi stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, speaking eloquently for a long time before finishing, "That's about it." Their eyes met the man's slightly gloomy expression, and after a moment's silence, she added, "Many of the materials I need are life-saving."

One poison, three antidotes.

Some of them can even be used to save lives.

Bie Zhi knew that he cared less about who he killed and more about his own safety.

Fu Huaiqing didn't want to see her lying lifeless on the couch again.

As their eyes met, Bie Zhi's heart trembled.

"I still cherish myself," she said solemnly. She wouldn't do anything that would hurt the enemy a thousand times and hurt herself eight hundred times, especially when it came to revenge for the murder of her father and mother. She wanted him dead while she lived well and lived a long life. "There's no way I'd sacrifice my life for him."

Her bright eyes gleamed.

Fu Huaiqing laughed.

He glanced at Cheng Jin. "Whatever she wants, I'll make it up."

"I'll make a list for you when we get back," Bie Zhi agreed.

Cheng Jin: "..."

Do I need to make a list?

Fu Huaiqing raised an eyebrow. "Let's go. Tell us how you plan to kill someone when we get back."

"I'll kill him, don't worry." Bie Zhi patted his chest, feeling 95% satisfied with his skills. "I'll kill him with any rock I pick up."

The people at the Dali Temple: "..."

The cold sweat on their backs finally subsided as they watched the two men depart.

The Su Palace's carriage drove off Dali Temple Street. Qin Xiao, standing under the eaves, finally withdrew his gaze. He glanced at the people who had followed and said to his personal guard, Wei Feng, "Take them and cooperate with the palace's secret guards. Don't let him leave the capital. If he makes any unusual movements, arrest him directly under the guise of a Dali Temple investigation."

On the way back to the Su Palace, Bie Zhi counted his remaining supplies.

Some of the poisons wouldn't be ready for a while, and now that Jing Qing had been arrested, Zhang Yan would surely receive the news soon, and he would be pondering his next steps.

If she were Zhang Yan, her first choice would be to leave Li Dynasty.

Huyan Daji would leave the capital in two days, and following his footsteps into the territory of Xilan would be the only choice

.

After thinking for a moment, Bie Zhi glanced at the dark eyes that had been fixed on him since he entered the carriage, and told him his decision: "I plan to do it tomorrow night."

Fu Huaiqing nodded without saying anything else.

He believed in her skills and would not influence her decision.

However...

Fu Huaiqing's face darkened, and he said to the outside of the window: "Order Lin Yiqing and Su Ci to come to the palace in a quarter of an hour."

Before the news of the assassination of the imperial official spreads, Zhang Yan needs to be convicted.

The carriage was about to stop, and Bie Zhi jumped off the carriage. She no longer cared about Fu Huaiqing who was left behind, and ran towards Qinghe Courtyard without looking back.

Fu Huaiqing watched her hurried back disappear from his sight, and then he glanced at Lin Yiqing and Su Ci who had been waiting on the street of Su Palace for a moment.

Lin Yiqing saw the girl clearly for the first time, his eyes filled with surprise. He frowned slightly

. How could the Qin family's youngest daughter, who had been adopted by the Qin family some time ago and had died at the hands of a gangster, appear in Prince Su's mansion? "It's her. Lord Lin is not mistaken," Su Ci replied without waiting for him to ask, adding, "She is not the Qin family's youngest daughter. She is simply using the Qin family's identity to get something done."

Lin Yiqing frowned. "Did the prince know about

this?" Su Ci raised an eyebrow, but remained silent.

Not only did he know, but it seemed he had arranged this personally. He

had previously told Qin Xiaoyan that Biezhi was his sister, clearly trying to break his heart and sever his thoughts on Biezhi.

Su Ci sighed, "This prying man is truly ruthless."

Not only did he pry someone else's sister, he also blocked others' chances of doing so.

And it seemed he had succeeded?

With this in mind, Su Ci glanced meaningfully in the direction of Qinghe Courtyard, then glanced at his friend, who seemed slightly sullen but in a generally good mood. He planned to return and have a proper talk with Fang Tingzhi.

Fang Tingzhi was deeply concerned about their progress, and seemed to have been extremely rude to him after meeting Biezhi at the Prince Su's Mansion. She also had a desperate air, occasionally wondering if he was blind and couldn't guess her identity.

She seemed to be planning to end her mission of investigating him early, and immediately pulled a small stool to sit inside the Prince Su's Mansion, watching closely.

Su Ci twitched his lips coldly.

It wasn't what she wanted.

"The Zhang Yan matter must be resolved tomorrow."

Hearing the indifferent voice from behind the desk, Su Ci's demeanor suddenly brightened. He and Lin Yiqing exchanged glances, realizing the gravity of the matter.

"I will do my best, but..." Lin Yiqing was the first to recover, still clinging to his original thought. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Zhang Yan is an official appointed by the imperial court. If we convict him without sufficient evidence, I'm afraid it will cause panic throughout the court."

If he were a corrupt official, it would be an easy target. However, he acted cautiously and revealed nothing. For years, he had kept his hands off even the most lucrative places, the Ministry of Works. He was known as an honest and frugal official by the court officials.

This was precisely why they didn't propose arresting Zhang Yan without sufficient evidence.

Fu Huaiqing understood his concerns and said, "Tomorrow afternoon, the Dali Temple will give you an explanation."

Lin Yiqing, who had bent over to dissuade him, was stunned for a moment. He raised his eyelids and looked at His Royal Highness Prince Su behind the desk. He realized that Qin Xiao had either obtained evidence of a crime or captured a key figure.

Fu Huaiqing tapped his knuckles on the table for a moment, then paused for a moment before saying to Su Ci, "You personally lead the troops to strictly guard the city gates. Not even a mosquito can escape."

Su Ci sternly replied, "Your humble servant obeys."

As the words fell, the study door opened slightly, and Jiang Yue, who had been guarding outside, entered with a fixed gaze. He bowed, then walked to his own prince's side without looking away, leaning over and whispering,

"The woman Miss Biezhi bumped into today was Madam Bian's personal maid."
