Chapter 254: Bait
"Master Qin, you want to protect the true reincarnation of the national god. Since Helian Ziyu is not that person, then he is pretending to be the reincarnation of the national god, which is an insult to the national god. There is nothing to feel sorry for if such a scum dies without a complete body." Yi Qianhuan continued.
The more Qin Xue talked, the more she felt it made sense. She couldn't help but gasp, "But, but I've already told Helian Ziyu that I don't know where the treasure is. If I suddenly give in and tell him the truth now, will he suspect that I set a trap?"
"In that case, let us act as bait and lure Helian Ziyu to find the Uncrowned Mirror on his own initiative." Ji Chilian made a prompt decision.
Yi Qianhuan nodded in agreement. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It is not a pity if Helian Ziyu died, and if his death can prove the horror of the Uncrowned Mirror, then it can be used as a warning to prevent Mo Bao from coming into contact with the Uncrowned Mirror again.
"In that case... then I might as well have handed the Uncrowned Mirror directly to Helian Ziyu, so that he could avoid going to jail." The more Qin Xue spoke, the more she felt that what Yi Qianhuan and the others said made sense.
"This may not be a bad thing. After all, Helian Ziyu has never taken the Qin family seriously. If he gets the Uncrowned Mirror directly, he may kill everyone in the Qin family to silence them." Yi Qianhuan made up his mind, "After thinking about it, it's best for us to take action on this matter."
"Master Qin, where is the Uncrowned Mirror hidden?" Ji Chilian asked.
Qin Xue sighed and said, "It is hidden in a secret room behind the wall of the National God's Palace. You must be careful when you go there. Do not attack the Uncrowned Mirror at any cost, otherwise the Uncrowned Mirror will immediately absorb you. Then you will become like the reincarnations of the National Gods before, and die without a burial place."
Seeing Tan Xue's repeated instructions, Yi Qianhuan quickly agreed: "Now that things have come to this, we will use the Uncrowned Mirror to get rid of Helian Ziyu first, and then help the Tan family clear their grievances and rescue you."
Helian Ziyu has made things so complicated, and they are dealing with Helian Ziyu now only because they are worried that it will cause more trouble.
As for the Qin family being framed, we still have to wait until Helian Ziyu is dealt with before finding another solution.
With Ji Chilian's help, it would not be a problem to ensure the safety of everyone in the Qin family in a short period of time.
After letting Qin Xue rest in peace, Ji Chilian and Yi Qianhuan immediately rushed to the National God's Palace.
It was already late at night, but there was still a lot of noise outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
Lianzhi, along with a group of maids, knelt outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
The person in charge of keeping watch at the Governor's Mansion today was Lin Tong. When he saw Lian Zhi and a group of people kneeling outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion, he immediately felt his temples throbbing wildly.
"Miss Lianzhi, my subordinates told me that the Governor is not in his mansion today. Why don't you believe it? Besides, Princess Lianhe had a nightmare suddenly, which means she is ill. You should go find a doctor. My Governor can't treat illnesses!" When Lin Tong said this, he wanted to roll his eyes.
Ever since the Duke of Du escorted Princess Lianhe back to the capital, Princess Lianhe seemed to have become dependent on the Duke of Du. She would come to him for all matters, no matter big or small.
Just like the nightmare Princess Lianhe had today. It could be cured by drinking a bowl of tranquilizer, but the people in the Princess's Mansion insisted on asking the Supervisor to come. I don't know why they like to torment people so much!
"Master Lin, please do me a favor and ask the governor to come to our princess's mansion. My princess always couldn't sleep at night before. It was only when the governor escorted her on the way that she slept well for a few days because of you. My princess has hardly slept for the past three days. If this continues, the princess's body will definitely not be able to bear it! My princess said that she doesn't ask the governor to accompany her all the time, but only asks him to stay at the princess's mansion for one night..."
"No, no, this is against the rules!" Lin Tong immediately rejected Lian Zhi.
"Before, the Crown Prince's wife stayed at the Governor's Mansion in order to treat Yi Mobao. How come the same thing doesn't work for our princess?" Lian Zhi asked unconvinced.
"Is there any need to ask? How can a princess compare with the Crown Prince's wife..." Lin Tong muttered softly.
Although it was against the rules for the Crown Prince's wife to live in the Governor's Mansion before, it was only against the rules in terms of status.
Compared with Princess Lianhe, the Crown Prince's wife never caused trouble for Duke Du, and even the young master was extremely dependent on the Crown Prince's wife. If it weren't for the Crown Prince's wife, the young master would have definitely died of the plague.
"What did Master Lin say?"
Seeing Lian Zhi immediately raised her head and glared at him, Lin Tong cleared his throat and said, "The impossible is impossible. Come, send Miss Lian Zhi back."
Lianzhi was forcibly pulled up from the ground and stuffed into the carriage.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Lian Zhi put aside his unwilling look and bowed to the woman in the carriage: "Princess, it is just as you expected. Tan Xue was taken away from the prison today. It must be the work of the governor."
“When the spy in the Heavenly Prison came to report, I felt it was strange. No matter how powerful Yi Qianhuan is, she couldn’t take Qin Xue away so easily. Unless... Chi Lian helped her.” Princess Lianhe was not wearing any makeup, she was sitting in the carriage wearing only a light blue dress.
Her soft black hair was spread out behind her, and she looked like a weak willow swaying in the wind, delicate and pitiful.
Especially her eyes that were filled with resentment and sadness: "Chi Lian would never do this for me."
Lian Zhi quickly comforted her, "That's because the governor is working with the Crown Prince's wife, so he has to help her. Princess, the governor treats you very well. Otherwise, if it was an ordinary woman, the governor would not even say a word."
"Yes, he treats me a little differently. But this difference immediately seems inadequate in front of the Crown Prince's wife." Princess Lianhe said this, but the smile on her lips did not fade.
Lian Zhi quietly observed Princess Lianhe's reaction, not daring to utter a word: "If the princess really can't stand the Crown Prince's wife, you can tell the emperor about the Crown Prince's wife sneaking into the Heavenly Prison today..."
"No! Do you want to kill Chi Lian?" Princess Lianhe immediately put away the smile on her face and scolded Lian Zhi: "How many times have I told you that you must not do anything that may affect Chi Lian's safety!"
"Yes..." Lian Zhi did not dare to refute when he saw Princess Lianhe's harsh tone.
But she couldn't help but wonder.
This matter could be big or small. As long as they point the finger at the Crown Prince's wife, even if the Emperor really investigates and finds out that this matter is related to the Governor, he will definitely not punish the Governor severely because of his favor for him.
However, Lianzhi then thought about how much his own princess valued Du Gong, and he understood.
The princess must have been so concerned that she didn't think of this. This also proves that the princess is sincere towards the governor.
"Go and deliver this message to him. He will know what to do." Princess Lianhe said as she quietly opened the curtains, took a deep look at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, and then ordered everyone to leave.
