As an assassin who has successfully killed many dignitaries, Wu Ming is naturally not an idiot. He also knew that he would end up dead after being caught, as long as Ji Qingqing could be kept.
How could Su Li fail to see what he was thinking, she curled her lips and said, "Let me guess about your relationship with Ji Qingqing."
"A killer who lives in the dark with blood on his hands and can't see the light, met a simple and beautiful little girl by chance. She can't feel the blood in you, and treats you as an ordinary person, and cares about you. You have felt the warmth that you haven't seen for a long time. So, you regard her as your salvation, and you will not hesitate to be a cow or a horse for her, right?" Su Li played with a string of dzi beads in her hand, her tone was a little careless.
Wu Ming didn't talk to him, but he was shocked in his heart. He has been careful not to let people find out his connection with Ji Qingqing these years. Logically speaking, no one should know. How did the newly appointed Empress know about it? No wonder Ji Qingqing was harmed so badly by her.
Su Li said again: "If you don't say anything, it's your acquiescence. By the way, how did she persuade you to assassinate me? The palace is tightly guarded, and she must know that you may never return, but she still let you go. You are here, tsk, you are really wishful thinking."
Wu Ming closed his eyes, as if he couldn't hear her. But Su Li was not in a hurry, she paced slowly in the cell, looking leisurely and content.
"She must have said that I was deeply scheming, that I had secretly hooked up with the emperor long ago, and then pushed her into the fire pit, right?" Although Su Li looked at him leisurely, her eyes were always paying attention to him, not missing any subtle expressions on his face. expression. "You killed the minister Ming Jia, the frontier general, and you must be a smart person. Now you are being played around by the person you like, it's ridiculous."
Wu Ming frowned slightly, but still didn't speak. Of course he knew that Ji Qingqing was not that innocent anymore, but so what, if it wasn't for her, he would have died of serious injuries long ago.
"I heard that she saved you back then? Don't you doubt how she saved you? How could a weak young lady bring you to the inn from a small alley? Her parents are wise and safe people, how could she let herself How about your daughter saving an unknown person? Have you never thought about it? But when you woke up and saw her for the first time, you took it for granted that she saved you?" Su Li sneered, "I'm going to the number one killer. Life must be very valuable."
Wu Ming's eyeballs moved, and he was indeed a little puzzled.
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will always break out of the ground.
Su Li raised the corners of her mouth and smiled gracefully, "Actually, I didn't use it at all. After all, the emperor trusts me so much. As long as I doubt Ji Qingqing, then he will definitely find a way to cure her."
"So what is the purpose of the Empress's visit?" Wu Ming finally couldn't help but speak.
Su Li smiled brightly, "Probably because of obsessive-compulsive disorder, I hope she will be punished for whatever crime she committed. I will give you a chance. In seven days, I will hold a banquet in the palace, and Ji Qingqing will also come. If you If I confess, I will let her go, otherwise I have no choice but to follow my own mind."
"Your Majesty, why is this so? Even if she commits a serious crime, she can't compare to entering the palace to assassinate." Wu Ming said with the corners of his mouth raised.
"Then we'll wait and see." Su Li turned and walked out of the cell, and said to the guards beside her, "Keep an eye on him, don't let him commit suicide."
The guard let out a sigh, but he was wondering in his heart, what did the Queen Mother say that would make that notorious assassin think of committing suicide
