Chapter 233: Trading Secrets for Life

Luo Lingyue looked at Xiao Xiao in front of her and couldn't help but chuckle: "Oh, you little girl have some temper. You actually dare to glare at us. Humph, if we hadn't rescued you, you would have been dead long ago! Your adoptive father has sent several groups of assassins to take your life!"

At this time, Xiao Xiao's body was constantly struggling, and her mouth, which was blocked by rags, could only make a humming sound, as if she wanted to express something.

Seeing this, Luo Lingyue raised her eyebrows and reached out to tear off the rag that was blocking Xiao Xiao's mouth.

Xiao Xiao looked a little embarrassed, but her eyes revealed a firmness and determination. She panted and said, "As long as you let me go, I will tell you the secret about Xiao Jingyi!" There was a hint of hope in her tone, as if she had grasped the last straw.

Luo Lingyue cast her eyes towards Xiao Jinghan and noticed that his expression was very indifferent. She immediately responded, "Xiao Jingyi's secret? We will naturally investigate it after we enter Nanyi!"

Xiao Xiao shouted anxiously, "You will never be able to find out the truth! It was Queen Mother Xue who poisoned the old Prince Wu'an!"

Xiao Jinghan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said indifferently: "I know about this matter! But this alone is far from enough to exchange for your life! In addition..."

Xiao Jinghan's voice became colder and colder: "Your father Zheng Fei was actually framed by Xiao Jingyi's men! The evidence of your father's corruption and bribery was also forged by them! Zheng Xiao! Do you still want to keep this secret for Xiao Jingyi? You know, he is the enemy who killed your father! Your surname should be Zheng, not Xiao!"

Xiao Xiao stared at Xiao Jinghan in astonishment, and asked with trembling lips: "What you said... is it true?" Her voice was full of disbelief and fear.

Xiao Jinghan nodded silently, then reached out and gently untied the rope wrapped around Xiao Xiao. Then, he took out a thick stack of papers from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao's hands were shaking so badly that she could barely hold the stack of papers. She stared at the documents in her hands with wide eyes, as if they were a life-saving straw. When she finished reading page by page, tears welled up in her eyes like a dam breaking.

"My father worked diligently for the country and the people in Nanyi all his life and never had any greed! But he was framed as a corrupt official and was beheaded in public! Why on earth did that happen?" Xiao Xiao's voice was filled with endless grief and anger as she questioned Xiao Jinghan in front of her.

Xiao Jinghan took a deep breath and said slowly: "All this is Xiao Jingyi's conspiracy. In order to fight for the power of Nanyi, he did everything he could, even framing loyal ministers. Your father unfortunately became his victim."

Xiao Xiao's body swayed slightly, and she seemed to be about to fall down at any time. She bit her lip, trying to keep herself awake. "Xiao Jingyi... How could he be so cruel? Doesn't he have any conscience at all?"

Xiao Jinghan supported Xiao Xiao, with a trace of guilt and helplessness in his eyes. "I know this is a huge blow to you, but we have to face the reality. Now that we have the evidence, we can clear your father's name and let the truth come to light."

Xiao Xiao burst into tears, her voice choking with sobs: "I was so stupid as to regard my enemy as my adoptive father! Haha! Xiao Jinghan, oh Xiao Jinghan! How good can you be? Although it was Empress Dowager Xue who poisoned your father, it was Emperor Wen and Xiao Jingyi who really killed your father!"

When Xiao Jinghan heard this, his eyes widened like copper bells, and he roared in disbelief: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao Xiao's eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred and anger. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Do you know why your mother wanted to return to Beijing? She wanted to track down the poison of Biluo and prepare an antidote for your father! Your father had a chance to detoxify and survive, but Emperor Wen was afraid. He was worried that once your father knew the truth, Queen Mother Xue would be in danger of her life! He was even more afraid that your father would avenge your mother and rebel! So, he secretly colluded with Xiao Jingyi and instructed Xiao Jingyi to launch a sneak attack on your father on the battlefield!"

Xiao Jinghan froze, his face became extremely hideous, and his facial muscles were twisted due to excessive excitement: "Impossible! This is impossible! Everything is clearly a conspiracy planned by Queen Mother Xue! It has nothing to do with Emperor Wen! As for Xiao Jingyi, although he has wolfish ambitions, he disregarded his own safety and carried my father back from the battlefield on the verge of life and death! For this, he almost lost half his life!"

However, in the face of Xiao Jinghan's rebuttal, Xiao Xiao just laughed contemptuously: "Xiao Jinghan, Xiao Jinghan! At this point, you are still stubborn and stubborn, you are simply recognizing a thief as your father! The truth is right in front of you, but you choose to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear! You might as well think about it, why did Emperor Wen give the military power of Nanyi to Xiao Jingyi? It was just because Emperor Wen was afraid that Xiao Jingyi would make the truth of what happened that year public! Similarly, Xiao Jingyi was also worried that Emperor Wen would tell the truth of that year. After all, if the Xiao family army knew that he killed Xiao Qichen, then they would definitely not let him go and would tear him to pieces!"

Luo Lingyue tightly held Xiao Jinghan's trembling hand and comforted him softly, "We will slowly investigate the truth after we get to Nanyi!"

After saying this, Luo Lingyue turned her gaze to Xiao Xiao and said to him, "It's not impossible for me to let you go, but the prerequisite is that you must help us first. After all, compared to us, you are more familiar with Nanyi. As long as you are willing to help us sincerely, then I can find a way to make you pretend to be dead to deceive Xiao Jingyi and Emperor Wen!"

After hearing what Luo Lingyue said, Xiao Xiao nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem! Xiao Jingyi killed my father and destroyed my family. This blood feud is irreconcilable. So helping you is actually helping me to avenge myself!"

At this moment, the secret guard stood outside the carriage and respectfully reported to the carriage: "Your Majesty, Xiao Jingyi's men have been wiped out by the Soul-demanding Sect and the Dark Moon Pavilion! And the people disguised as the prince and princess have already set off in advance! They will definitely help your majesty clear all obstacles!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinghan responded in a cold voice: "Okay! In that case, let's take another shortcut to Nanyi! I can't wait any longer and I'm eager to see my 'good brother'!"

Xiao Xiao frowned slightly and reminded in a low voice: "Most of the generals in Nanyi are Xiao Jingyi's trusted ministers! In my opinion, you might as well go and visit General Shen Xu! He used to be Xiao Qichen's deputy general, and he is well-known and highly respected in the Xiao family army! It's a pity that he is getting old and has been bedridden for many years. He hasn't been involved in military affairs for many years!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinghan nodded repeatedly to show his agreement: "Thank you for telling me!"
