Chapter 290: Success or Failure
"No." Xiao Jingsheng sat upright, reached out to hold her jade hand, and said affectionately and affectionately: "I like you more, she is just a woman I want, that's all."
Xu Zhilan slid her lips, pulled her hand back, gently patted the place he had held, and said with a smile: "You can use these words to coax Miss Chen Ruyi, it will not work for me."
Chen Ruyi is Xiao Jingsheng's favorite concubine. She is a dancer. She is very charming and charming, and has a plump and graceful figure. She has the charm of a man's eyes shining when he sees her and cannot see her.
But she knew that Chen Ruyi was loved again, and there was no place in this man's heart, so she knew very well that she would never fall in love with this man in her life. He was just a stepping stone to reach the highest position of power.
Xiao Jingsheng said: "No, I am very serious. I like you, a woman, smart, ambitious, understanding, and know what you want. I don't have any pressure to be with you."
Because he knew too well what she wanted, he didn't have to guess her mind or coax her. He just gave her what she wanted.
Xu Zhilan couldn't hear what he said. He despised him in his heart, but there was a pleasant smile on his face, "Thank you for praising me so much. By the way, let's go back to the main business. This plague is where you show it, but you can't reveal your identity and name, and you can't spread it everywhere, otherwise the emperor will doubt your motive."
"Then what do you want me to do?" Xiao Jingsheng asked.
"We agreed before that I will operate this matter. I am your fiancée, sharing honor and disgrace. You just need to be responsible for contacting me, clearing all parties, making less difficult and more convenient." After that, Xu Zhilan looked at Xiao Jingsheng.
A long time ago, she asked someone to contact Duke Ying and instilled some words in his ears that were beneficial to him. Over the years, she has been giving advice behind them and acting as their military advisor. They also obeyed her words. However, recently, Xiao Jingsheng seemed to have done something hidden from her.
Xiao Jingsheng frowned, but nothing was wrong, and nodded gently, "Do you have to do it with confidence. I have arranged everything I should arrange. But is the map in "Middle Autumn Night" real?"
Two days ago, she said that Lin Chenyao gave her a birthday gift in advance, which was Liu Zhenzhi's last work. He found someone and quickly put the map together. With this treasure, it would be better for their plans. However, with his years of experience, it seemed that there was something wrong.
Lin Chenyao has a wide connection, so why didn’t he hear rumors spreading from the black market that there is a treasure in the painting "Middle Autumn Night"? Or did he hear that he thought that the painting belongs to the Fu family, so he would spend a lot of money to buy it and return it back?
Xu Zhilan pursed her red lips and paused for a moment, saying, "What do you mean? Do you suspect that the painting I gave is fake?"
"Will Lin Chenyao really paint you?"
I heard that he bought it for a few days before giving it out, so it is hard to guarantee that he would not trade fake for real.
"Impossible." Xu Zhilan immediately shook his head and promised: "I am most familiar with this painting, so there will be no mistakes."
In fact, she didn't know. She had only seen it once before. She remembered that there was a small black dot on it. She accidentally put the ink on it. Fu Yinghua saw that the ink was not big and had no effect on the overall painting, so she didn't say anything about her.
At this moment, the guard Black Eagle walked in, possessed Xiao Jingsheng's ear and said a few words. Xiao Jingsheng's eyes flashed with a faint light, "Confirm?"
Black Hawk nodded.
"What's the matter?" Xu Zhilan saw him frowning, something must have happened.
"Xie Zhengqing transported the body out of the city and dug several deep wells, intending to put the body in and seal it up. Did he find something?" Xiao Jingsheng said.
"Oh no." Xu Zhilan stood up, "They must have discovered something, otherwise they wouldn't have done this."
Move the body to the suburbs and seal it. This is a way to prevent the corpse from spreading poisonous gas. Did Xie Zhengqing do this when he discovered this secret?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhilan was immediately panicked.
"Don't be nervous!" Xiao Jingsheng said: "Didn't you say that there is no successor to the Xiang family? This poisonous incense has been lost for many years. No one in the world can recognize this poisonous incense. Maybe Xie Zhengqing did this just a coincidence."
"It's not a coincidence." Black Hawk said: "When they moved the corpse, the masks covered with noses were soaked with potions, and they also sprinkled potions on the corpse, saying that this was disinfection."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhilan was panicked and said, "Who did Xie Zhengqing have ever contacted today, or where did he learn about this kind of "Zi Mi Meng" solution?"
Because she knew that only the Xiang family knew about this poison so much, but the Xiang family had already been cleared by them, unless there was someone who missed the internet. If this was the case, it would be awful.
Black Eagle said: "I heard from the people around him that he went to the quarantine area of Nancheng today and asked someone to do this when he came back."
"Please check it out, and you must find out who he has been in contact with today." Xu Zhilan said.
Black Hawk did not respond to her because he was Xiao Jingsheng's person and was not listened to by others except him.
Xiao Jingsheng also knew that the matter was serious and nodded slightly to the Black Hawk.
When Xu Zhilan saw the movements between their master and servant, she sneered in her heart. If it weren't for her shadow, there would be no one. Now she would have to be restricted everywhere when doing things. If you want someone to check something, you have to look at people's faces.
If she guessed correctly, the Shadow Warehouse might have been the one who did the last time, because only the people from the Xiang family knew so much about what spices she used to control the killers. Without those spices, her Shadow was equivalent to being destroyed, so she must draw out this person!
Black Hawk left, and the two of them were silent for a while. Xiao Jingsheng said, "Let my people investigate this matter. You can do the porridge preparation work the day after tomorrow. I will almost bet on this incident. Don't make any mistakes."
After the plague ended, the prince and the King of Qin did not threaten him anymore, so he announced the good deeds he had done in his travels over the past few years. He was determined to win the position of the crown prince!
Xu Zhilan glanced at him and replied, "We are on the same boat, and Yirong is fortunate. As long as the person you arranged can do things, there will be no accidents."
The two discussed the matter for a while. Xiao Jingsheng left first. Xu Zhilan stood in front of the window, holding the teacup in his hand, and sucked it gently. After a while, Tao Xin walked in with a serious look on his face.
"Miss, something happened."
Xu Zhilan's hand was paused, and the water in the cup overflowed and fell on the back of her hand. Fortunately, the tea temperature was not high and it did not burn the skin.
“Where’s an accident?”
"Miss Alander is gone."
"What's going on?"
"They encountered a fog in the jungle, and when the fog dissipated, Alande disappeared."
Xu Zhilan suddenly threw the cup in his hand to the ground, "Damn it! What are they doing?"

Can you guess who Alander is?
