Chapter 519: Is Xiumu Going to Succeed?

A few days after the boat banquet, news spread again in Beijing that Shen Ningning and Qi Xiuwei had broken up on bad terms.

Everyone knows that on the day of the boat banquet, Princess Funing helped Su Zhirou and made Qi Xiuwei lose face.

Therefore, even if the prince came forward, the two people did not reconcile.

Everyone felt sad about this.

Especially the common friends of Shen Ningning and Qi Xiuwei, Ye Changyi and Lu Shaoyuan, all felt that their relationship was too tense.

Only Su Zhirou learned the news and secretly took the maid and laughed heartily for a while.

Extremely proud.

Seeing that the opportunity was almost there, Xiumu suggested to Qi Xiuwei.

At this time, Shen Ningning's psychological defense was most vulnerable.

"Princess Ten, you invite Princess Funing out, and on the premise of reconciliation, find out the secret recipe for gunpowder."

Late at night, in Qi Xiuwei's room, Xiumu stood behind her.

His heart was bleeding when he saw Qi Xiuwei using a thousand-dollar cream.

However, thinking about the task assigned by the Great Sun King, it will be completed successfully in no time.

No matter how much effort and sacrifice you put in, it's all worth it.

Qi Xiuwei applied the cream on her jade fingers and said nonchalantly: "She's not stupid. Could it be that if I force her, she will definitely say it? I think we need to prepare a backup plan."

Xiumu's eyes lit up: "Princess, please tell me."

Qi Xiuwei laughed, and her delicate and decent face looked even more ruthless under the illumination of the crane lantern.

There were two shadows of hanging eyelashes under her eyes, and she pursed her pink lips.

"Shen Ningning helped Su Zhirou in public at the boat banquet. Isn't it a humiliation for me?"

"I feel sick when I think about being pretentious with her, so I will invite her to the Peach Blossom Pavilion the next day. You will send all your people there. If I can't figure out the secret recipe for gunpowder no matter how hard I try, you will kill her. !”

Xiumu was shocked. He didn't expect Qi Xiuwei to be so bold and cruel despite her weak appearance.

He looked at Qi Xiuwei for a long time with a panic look in his eyes.

From the mirror, she could only see her cold deer eyes, filled with dark hatred.

"Killing Princess Funing...will we be able to escape unscathed?"

This is Cangyun Country.

Qi Xiuwei sneered and looked back at him: "Mr. Xiumu, are you afraid?"

"I don't dare, but no matter what we do, we should think of a complete countermeasure."

"Don't worry, I have already thought about it. On that day, the servants of the Qi Mansion that I arranged in advance will rush over and appear to be protecting me, but in fact, afterwards, I will lie and claim that they are seeking revenge on Shen Ningning for my father. So he accidentally killed her."

The flames of thought danced in Xiumu's eyes.

Qi Xiuwei's performance surprised him.

There is indeed a group of Qi Mansion's guards who are loyal to Mr. Qi.

It would make sense to say that they attacked Princess Funing for Master Qi.

Moreover, Qi Xiuwei decided to meet Shen Ningning at the Peach Blossom Pavilion.

This pavilion is located on a green hill on the outskirts of Beijing. It has beautiful scenery, deep woods, and complicated roads.

Killing people and dumping their bodies here is the best option.

It took a long time for Xiumu to bow his hands and say: "The tenth princess is worthy of being the son of a dragon and a phoenix. She is decisive in her strategy and I admire her. I will go and make arrangements now."

Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly remembered something and turned around.

"By the way, Princess Ten, there is one thing I still need to tell you. Your adoptive mother, Mrs. Qi, is very ill. I heard she coughed up blood this morning and fell into a coma. She has been telling the doctor that she wants to see you."

"Do you need Wei Chen to arrange for you to take a look at her? You know, once we take action against Princess Funing, we must leave Cangyun Country as soon as possible. You may never see her again."

A flash of pain flashed across Qi Xiuwei's eyes.

Even if it was a flash, it was keenly noticed by Xiumu.

She softened her expression and seemed expressionless.

"I won't go and see it. Some things should be regarded as the ending. Let's stay here together. Before the plan succeeds, I don't want anything else to disturb my mood, so don't tell me anything about her situation. ”

Xiumu understood and handed over his hand: "Yes, I will resign."

The door is closed.

Hideki's entourage, who was standing outside, immediately followed him.

The night was dark and the wind was noisy, making the lanterns on the porch sway gently.

Xiumu walked quickly along the corridor, with an indescribable vigilance in his eyes.

"Send additional manpower immediately to search for the third prince." After returning to his study, Hideki immediately ordered his followers.

The entourage nodded and saw that his expression was wrong and asked, "Sir, what's going on? Did you have an unpleasant conversation with the Tenth Princess?"

"No," Xiumu shook his head, frowned, and looked at the flames jumping on the table: "On the contrary, it went too smoothly, which gave me an uneasy feeling. We need to be careful about this Qi Xiuwei."

The entourage was puzzled, but he immediately went out and sent extra manpower to look for the third prince.

However, Takuno seemed to have evaporated in the city and could not be found anywhere.

On the day when Qi Xiuwei was going to see Shen Ningning at Peach Blossom Pavilion, she heard that Shen Ningning had received her invitation and readily agreed.

Hideki was even more uneasy. He arranged for all the manpower to be distributed in Qingshan.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

Hideki stood behind the dense woods, squinting at the two figures talking in the distance in the Peach Blossom Pavilion.

Qi Xiuwei is persuading Shen Ningning to drink, which is part of their plan.

Shen Ningning was not a good drinker. After a few drinks, she lay down on the table. Wan Chun, the maid she brought with her, quickly blocked Qi Xiuwei's movements.

Unexpectedly, Qi Xiuwei accidentally spilled the wine on Shen Ningning's dress.

Wanchun was anxious: "Miss Qi, please be careful!"

Shen Ningning's drunken face appeared on her delicate face, her black hair was slightly messy, and she looked like a drunken beauty.

She waved her hand, and the jade bracelet on her wrist slipped off.

"Sister Wanchun, go down the mountain to the carriage and bring my outer robe."

Wanchun was sent away.

Xiumu stared at Qi Xiuwei's direction, and saw her take out a pen and paper, and asked Shen Ningning to write something with a smile.

At first, Shen Ningning disagreed and kept shaking her head.

But in the end, probably unable to resist Qi Xiuwei's request, she wrote several strokes.

Xiumu's eyes darkened, and his heart couldn't stop beating.

Is it so simple to succeed?

At this moment, the entourage appeared behind him.

"Sir! Not only did we fail to find the Third Prince, we also lost contact with the Third Prince's group of secret guards who were ambushed in the capital and on standby."

Xiu Mu turned back suddenly: "How could this be? Keep looking!"

Not bringing back the gunpowder secret recipe is a small matter. King Da Ri just let them take risks.

But if the Third Prince is lost, it will be bad.

Xiu Mu has been an official for more than 60 years and has never made such a serious mistake.

While he was in a hurry to deploy, Qi Xiuwei had already returned to him with the gunpowder secret recipe.

"Got it." Qi Xiuwei raised the paper in her hand, which was still stained with a little wine.

Xiu Mu looked into the distance. In the pavilion, Shen Ningning was already lying down, as if she had fallen asleep.

He was overjoyed: "The Tenth Princess is really a heroine! She is a warrior of Changliu Kingdom!"

Xiu Mu stretched out his hand and was about to take it.

Unexpectedly, Qi Xiuwei dodged lightly.

She stared at Xiu Mu with her dark eyes and asked, "Before I give it to you, you have to tell me the truth. Is my father, Lord Qi, a spy you have placed in Cang Yun Country? Does he... not want me anymore, or is he forced to complete the mission... Tell me, and I'll give it to you."
