As officials in the officialdom, Lao Jianghu, Han Ziqian and Chen Chao all understood the meaning contained in Lei Ren's words.
If the Seventh Immortal Emperor really used the matter of "conferring a prince" to test Lei Ren, then Lei Ren might already be in a dangerous situation at this time!
"Then, Lei Shuai, if His Majesty is really testing you, how should you respond?" Han Ziqian asked in a low voice.
Lei Ren took a sip of wine and just smiled without answering directly.
At night, Lei Mansion is quiet.
A figure floated out of Lei Mansion like a ghost. Then, he looked around cautiously and quickly ran towards a path outside Lei Mansion.
However, as soon as this figure ran a few hundred meters away, he saw a person standing in front of him.
"Are you going to the palace? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The person in front turned around, it was Lei Ren.
And when that figure heard the sound of Thunder Blade and saw Thunder Blade turning around, his whole body immediately trembled.
"master……"
The voice was clear and crisp, it was Qing'er, the maid of Lei Mansion.
Qing'er is an undercover agent placed by the Seventh Immortal Emperor beside him. Lei Ren has always known about this, but he used to take advantage of it and did not go into details.
However, at the dinner party today, he and Han Ziqian and others talked a lot, and many of these words related to the matter between Lei Ren and the Seventh Immortal Emperor.
Especially regarding the matter of becoming a marquis, if his attitude is noticed by the Seventh Immortal Emperor, I'm afraid that scheming person will definitely target him.
Therefore, Lei Ren must wait until Qing'er and cannot let Qing'er report tonight's events to the Seventh Immortal Emperor.
"I have always known your identity. However, I think you are sincere to me and Qingshuang, so I have kept you in the house. But I am afraid you should know the seriousness of what happened today."
Lei Ren looked at the frightened Qing'er and said slowly, with a sense of majesty in his tone.
"Qing'er knows, but..."
Boom!
Qing'er knelt down directly to Lei Ren and said: "Master, I can't choose my identity, I have no choice..."
As he spoke, Qing'er began to sob and raised his head to look at Lei Ren: "I know what I am doing, but I have been an orphan since I was a child and have been receiving secret training in the palace to become a spy. Therefore, what I have to do is
, it’s not something I want to do, but I have to do it, I can’t help myself..."
"You should be able to tell that Qingshuang trusts you and likes you very much."
"Qing'er knows, so, it is for this reason that these days in Lei Mansion, during the time I spent with my wife, she treated me like a sister, and I was very happy, at least happier than ever before, so...
I don’t want to do something either, and I’m very conflicted inside.”
Lei Ren saw a sincerity in Qing'er's eyes. However, after all, this woman was a spy who had received various trainings and was extremely able to withstand stress and adapt to changes in psychology. Therefore, Lei Ren could not believe her immediately. He hesitated in his heart.
Meditation and gaze also observe Qing'er's every move, even every subtle change.
Qing'er added: "These days, I have to report to the person in the palace every once in a while, but the things I report are all irrelevant, or it is just to say good things to the madam or to say good things to the master. Today
I have also written a secret document about what I am going to report tonight. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look."
Qing'er said, and handed Lei Ren a slender file from his long sleeves. Lei Ren unfolded it, and saw only a dozen words on it: "Lei is confused whether he has been granted a title, is afraid of nobles, and has greed in his heart. And
No different intentions."
There are about twenty words, the most important of which are the last four words "no different intentions".
Seeing the secret scroll, Lei Ren took another cautious look at Qing'er. In this matter, Qing'er seemed to be doing this intentionally and helping him.
He asked Qing'er to get up, but Qing'er was still kneeling on the ground.
Lei Ren returned the secret scroll to her and asked: "Why do you want to help me?"
Qing'er Qingqing wiped away her tears and said: "Madam is kind to me. In Fanghua Palace, Madam saw the poison of ice on my body at a glance. She did not hesitate to damage her true energy to help me detoxify. This poison is our manager.
The things left on us are intended to contain us. After my wife helped me detoxify, I was physically and mentally free and no longer had to be controlled by the manager. She treated me like a sister, which made me feel... I felt that if I did something wrong to her,
I feel guilty and it’s really hard to start..."
"If the person in the palace sees that the information you provided is false, I'm afraid you won't feel good about it, right?"
"Death. The worst case scenario is death. But I can't do anything to disgrace my wife."
Qing'er said this resolutely, which made Lei Ren feel her resolute side.
It seemed to be true, Lei Ren finally made a judgment in his mind.
"Just get up."
Lei Ren called her up again, and then stood with her hands behind her hands, "If you really respect Qingshuang, don't worry, you won't die."
"Master! Thank you, master!"
Qing'er was grateful, "Qing'er's death is not a pity, but Qing'er must report to the master that the man in the palace has always been wary of you. He asked his wife Zhu Zai in the Fanghua Palace to hold you hostage. He has always used her again.
You want to use you to help him pacify the world!"
"Okay, I understand." Lei Ren remained silent. In fact, he had already guessed what Qing'er said.
"Then do you know that this time he made me a candidate, but he really meant it? What is his purpose?" Lei Ren asked.
"I am just an ordinary member of the royal secret guard. I am afraid that only he himself knows the truth about these things. However, based on Qing'er's understanding of him, I may not know his purpose, but it is absolutely impossible to do it out of sincerity, sir.
, you have to be careful yourself, maybe a storm is coming in Xiandu City!"
"Okay. Qing'er, from now on, you will be mine."
Lei Ren said: "Just pretend that nothing happened and hand over the secret scroll to the palace. Apart from protecting Qingshuang, don't worry about other things. I will handle it myself. Go ahead."
"Master... Qing'er swears that he will protect his wife. Qing'er is here, she is here!"
Qing'er stood up and bowed gratefully to Lei Ren twice, then his figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
Lei Ren stood there for a long time. He looked up at the sky full of stars and murmured to himself: "Is the storm really coming?"
Not long after Lei Ren left, on the official road a few miles away from where he was standing, there was a group of people, taking advantage of the darkness, to enter the palace at lightning speed.
The mounts of these people were all mythical beasts. There were about twenty of them, and each one of them had a powerful aura.
Their clothes were all embroidered with a large golden character - Wind!
