Ying Zheng thought that he was the net that could catch the salamander, and it seemed that it was really difficult for this salamander to escape.
But what the salamander cannot escape is never the net, but the water.
The water she really couldn't live without was the gentleness of the water that made her sink.
Therefore, when Ying Zheng thought that the salamander had fallen into a trap, he did not know that he was actually the water that the salamander could not live without. But it did not matter, because Ying Zheng would soon realize this.
Qing Xi, who already knew what happened in her consciousness, turned her head at a loss and met a pair of eyes that seemed to be awake but not awake. In those eyes, there was a trace of joy, a trace of imperceptible panic, and a sense of belonging.
The shyness of youth.
"You know too many secrets. If this continues, Gu will have no choice but to silence you." Ying Zheng, who woke up from his confused sleep, met Qing Xi's searching eyes and said preemptively.
"Your Majesty, how can I silence you?" Qing Xi asked subconsciously in a panic.
Ying Zheng, who was also not at peace in his heart, sensed provocation in Qing Xi's words, so he fought back.
"That's how you silence yourself." Ying Zheng said, already leaning over his head and puckering his small, soft lips.
"Is this what the king calls silence?" After a long time, Qing Xi, who had regained her freedom, murmured.
"Isn't this okay?" Ying Zheng asked, looking at the fish in front of him that had turned into a puddle of spring water.
"If this is what the king means by silencing me, then I'm not afraid anymore." Qing Xi said softly.
"Have you ever been afraid?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Yeah." Qingxi nodded.
"It's a pity that I didn't get to see you like that." Ying Zheng said.
"Do you want to see me, Your Majesty?" Qing Xi had already gotten out of the quilt as she spoke.
"What are you going to do?" Ying Zheng asked.
This time is not yet time to get up.
"Your Majesty, it should be uncomfortable for you to be like that. You need to clean it." Qing Xi turned her head and said.
Ying Zheng was stunned.
Is this all she thinks about now? For a moment, Ying Zheng felt that the female killer in front of him seemed not so easy to grasp.
Looking at Qing Xi who was burying her head in her knees and carefully wiping her hands, Ying Zheng endured the strange stimulation and asked without changing his expression: "Now that you know another secret of Gu, how can you silence me?"
That’s it?”
"Does your Majesty really want to silence you?" Qing Xi raised her head and asked, the coldness between her brows and eyes becoming a little more colorful.
"It doesn't have to be like this." Ying Zheng reached out and pinched Qing Xi's cheek.
"What is your Majesty saying?" Qing Xi couldn't help but look over. She thought of a possibility, but she didn't dare to think about it any more.
"As a secret, it should be exchanged at equal value. Since you know Gu's secret, Gu should also know your secret." Ying Zheng said.
"What does your Majesty want to know?" Qing Xi said while holding back her shyness.
"Your identity, I know you are Luo Wang's killer, but you are definitely not Duanshui." Ying Zheng pointed out.
Although Ying Zheng also admitted that Qing Xi at this time had a cute contrast between appearance and interior, but Ying Zheng saw more of her true appearance. Although her mood was a very interesting thing, it was almost impossible to see her in the future.
There are many more, so there is no rush.
Moreover, as Qing Xi said before, a first-class killer is not just a killer, she or he is a force in the net. And now, although Ying Zheng is not eager to take back his power, he is still in the net.
But it is an exception.
Therefore, he wants to subdue this killer, but not as the King of Qin subdues the killer in the net, or as a man subdues a woman.
"Your Majesty knows?" Qing Xi said in panic.
"I can see that you are the killer of Luo Sheng, and I can also see other things. Although Duan Shui exists, it is not you. The servant next to the queen mother is the real Duan Shui, and you should have another name." Ying Zheng said.
.
"This is all the Queen Mother's intention." Qing Xi tried her best to calm down and said.
"Can you tell me your real name?" Ying Zheng asked.
"The slave is indeed not Qingxi. Qingxi is Duanshui's name, and the slave is Jingxi." Qingxi accepted her fate.
She didn't know what consequences her admission would bring, but the current situation no longer allowed her to hide anything anymore.
"It turns out it's really you." Ying Zheng sighed.
The air suddenly fell into silence.
"Should you tell me the whole story clearly?" Ying Zheng said as he pulled the brocade quilt over him.
"This is all arranged by the Queen Mother." Qing Xi thought for a while and said.
"The Queen Mother asked Nu to stay in Xianyang Palace to protect the King. However, the King seemed to be very repulsive to Nu from the beginning. Under such circumstances, that is, a month ago, Nu had even received the news that because of the King's rejection, the Queen Mother had
We are preparing to transfer the slaves away from Xianyang Palace." Qing Xi continued.
"But..." Qingxi didn't know what to say at this point.
However, there was no need for Qing Xi to explain, because Ying Zheng knew what was going to happen next.
It was he who kept Qing Xi and appointed her as the Palace Chief of Xianyang Palace.
At this time, all the clues were sorted out by Ying Zheng.
If nothing had changed, Jing Salad would have left Xianyang Palace as an ordinary palace maid, Qing Xi, and would have begun the task of assassinating Lord Xinling at Lu Buwei's request. However, because of Ying Zheng's actions, everything changed.
Zhao Ji rejected Lu Buwei's request because of Ying Zheng's change, and everything was different.
"That's good," Ying Zheng said.
"Your Majesty, will I still perform that mission in the future?" Jing Xi, who never asked about missions, couldn't help but ask this question that made her toss and turn for several days.
"Do you want to go on that mission?" Ying Zheng asked.
"If it is the king's order, I will definitely complete the task." Jing Salamander replied.
"No need." Ying Zheng said.
"Why? Isn't Lord Xinling the great enemy of Qin?" Jing Salamander tried his best to calm himself down.
"Because I can't bear to be alone," Ying Zheng said.
Reluctant? Hearing these three words, Jing Salam suddenly froze. The three words "reluctant" were like the most deadly weapon, piercing her mind again and again.
A feeling that had never happened before spread in Jing Salaman's heart, and unconsciously, he became a little crazy.
"Besides, Lord Xinling is not a formidable enemy." Ying Zheng continued.
However, this sentence is no longer important to Frightened Salamander.
