Just listen to Yan Lingji continue:
"After the fall of Korea, I wanted to find my separated family, but before my family could be found, I was imprisoned as a Korean noble and was later transported to Xianyang for custody."
"Later, His Majesty Ying Zheng unified the six countries and issued the order of favor. But we female prisoners were looking forward to leaving the prison day and night."
"But I waited for a long time, and my wish didn't come true. Then I stopped thinking about it and thought about the rest of my life."
"Suddenly a few days ago, a big shot came to Tianlao. He could see at a glance that I was hiding my cultivation."
"He asked me to get close to the young master and monitor your every move, otherwise he would kill me. I had no choice but to agree first."
Yan Lingji showed fear when she mentioned this big shot.
The other party could tell at a glance her hidden cultivation, which was enough to show that she was a peerless expert with profound cultivation.
"Who is this big shot?"
If Qin Xiu guessed correctly, the big shot she was talking about should be the mastermind behind the scenes.
This person can enter and leave the prison at will.
He can also place Yan Lingji next to him,
That is definitely a high-level figure in the empire,
For example, Prime Minister Li Si, National Preceptor Yueshen, two national ladies, dead eunuch Zhao Gao, and several other princes.
But who specifically.
Qin Xiu is still not sure.
He could only think of a rough range and had a rough list in mind.
And Yan Lingji is just a chess piece.
"I can't say, I really can't say."
Yan Lingji said in fear:
"Sir, you are the Ninth Young Master of Great Qin, and you are still in the Zhixuan Realm, but in front of him, you are nothing at all, and I am nothing. He can crush me to death with just a move of his little finger."
"Are you afraid of him? Aren't you afraid of me?"
Qin Xiu glared at Yan Lingji.
The powerful pressure of Zixuan Realm acted on Yan Lingji, making her panting and her pretty face turned pale.
Yan Lingji kept shaking her head and said:
"Sir, please don't force me. I really can't say anything, and please don't ask any more. It won't do you any good. For your own safety, let's stop this matter."
He keeps his mouth shut and his face turns pale when talking about it.
That big shot was so terrifying that Yan Lingji didn't even dare to mention it, and she was worried that it would implicate Qin Xiu.
"He can kill you, and so can I."
Qin Xiu's eyes narrowed and he clenched his fist into the void.
Suddenly, Yan Lingji, who was suspended in mid-air, was held in the palm of a giant hand.
The phantom of the giant hand slowly clenched,
The bones all over her body were crackling, and the two lumps on her chest were so huge and soft that they were about to be crushed by the giant hands.
This beautiful woman had a look of pain in her eyes.
"If I don't say anything, I will die at most. That big shot poisoned me. If I betray him, I will be worse than dead."
It would be worse to live than to die, and it would be worse to just die.
Yan Lingji was extremely frightened when she thought that the poison would take effect and her whole body would begin to fester, her skin would begin to ooze pus, and her internal organs would be covered with sores.
Compared with the miserable feeling, she felt that death was a kind of relief.
"Did he poison you?"
Qin Xiu released his palm, and Yan Lingji breathed a sigh of relief.
That big shot was so vicious that he actually used poison to control Yan Lingji. If the latter disobeyed, the poison would be released, leaving her unable to live or die.
No wonder Yan Lingji is not even afraid of death.
"Thank you, Master, for showing mercy."
Yan Lingji slowly landed on the ground, coughed violently for a while, her chest rose and fell, and her body slowly returned to normal.
Just now, if Qin Xiu pressed harder, all her bones would be crushed, but Qin Xiu didn't and let her go, which made her very grateful.
Qin Xiu said slowly:
"Yan Lingji, why don't we make a deal? I'll find a way to detoxify you, and you tell me who that person is."
When saying this.
Qin Xiu took out a pill from his arms.
He challenged the masters some time ago and received many rewards, including a bottle of detoxifying pills that can detoxify most of the poisons in the world.
"trade……"
Looking at the detoxification pill, Yan Lingji pondered.
Seeing Yan Lingji's hesitation, Qin Xiu smiled lightly and said:
"To show my sincerity, you can try this detoxification pill first. I have plenty of time and can wait for you to detoxify before we talk."
"But how do I know that you are not poison?"
Yan Lingji is still wary of Qin Xiu.
After all, she had been poisoned once, so she was naturally skeptical of the pill provided by Qin Xiu, but she did not dare to take it casually. Adding poison to the poison would be disastrous.
"This is easy."
Qin Xiu went to the kitchen to catch a chicken and made the chicken eat his elixir in front of Yan Lingji.
To prove that the elixir is okay.
He and Yan Lingji observed it for a long time and determined that there was nothing wrong with the chicken.
Then he asked Yan Lingji:
"Now, do you believe it?"
"It's useless. Even if the young master can help me detoxify, I still can't defeat that big shot, and I might even get killed."
Yan Lingji said helplessly.
Ninth Young Master's cultivation level is good, but to that big shot, the Zhixuan Realm is nothing at all. He has a lot of Zhixuan Realms under his command, and when he becomes desperate, he even dares to assassinate the prince.
"That person is Zhao Gao, right?"
Suddenly, Qin Xiu's eyes flashed with wisdom.
"how do you know?"
Yan Lingji's beautiful eyes widened and she was extremely surprised.
"Is this difficult?"
Qin Xiu smiled easily.
Among the top officials of the Great Qin Empire, Yan Lingji could be so frightened. They had the power to pick people up from the heavenly prison, place them next to the prince, and control Yan Lingji by poisoning them. They were not afraid of the Zhixuan Realm at all, and could even Threaten the prince.
Except for Zhao Gao.
Qin Xiu really couldn't think of anyone else.
"Master, please grant me death!"
Yan Lingji suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Huh? You want to die?"
Qin Xiu looked at the beautiful Yan Lingji.
Just listen to Yan Lingji say bitterly:
"My lord, you are a high-ranking prince. You don't know how terrible Zhao Gao is, nor how terrifying the trap is. But I know very well what will happen to you. Now that you have guessed that the other party is Zhao Gao, I only ask you to give me some help." It’s better to be happy than to fall into their hands.”
Although she did not betray Zhao Gao.
But Qin Xiu had already guessed that the man behind the scenes was Zhao Gao.
This is no different from her betraying Zhao Gao.
And Zhao Gao is cruel and vicious and will never let her go. What awaits her will be inhuman torture.
Rather than being humiliated and dying, he would be tortured and then die.
It's better to end it now.
"Take this detoxifying pill first."
Qin Xiu flicked his fingers, and the elixir flew out and landed on Yan Lingji's jade hand.
Yan Lingji shook her head and said:
"It doesn't matter whether you detoxify or not, you will die in the end, so why bother detoxifying."
She didn't take the detoxification pill.
Because, even if Qin Xiu lets her go, Zhao Gao will not let her go lightly.
The outcome has already been determined.
