Humans in All Heavens: Starting with Detective Dee

Li Qingxia stood on the steps, looking down at them with an arrogant expression on her face.

Even from Zhou Yi's vantage point below the steps, one can still see the curve of Li Qingxia's bodice, which is adorned with a palace-style dress.

A patch of snow-white skin rose and fell with her breath.

Damn, this woman has such a great figure, and her breasts are really big. No wonder she's called "Milk Spirit".

Hu Jinghui was also completely infatuated with her.

If it were him, he probably would have a hard time controlling himself.

However, he certainly wouldn't risk his life for her like Hu Jinghui did.

"Princess..." If he hadn't possessed Di Chun's body, he would have been worse than a beast long ago.

"What are you doing? Why did the Thousand Bull Guards who were protecting me withdraw?" Li Qingxia raised her chin slightly, seemingly disdainful of Zhou Yi.

"Oh, this is an order from the adults."

"Di Renjie's orders?"

Li Qingxia pondered for a moment, but did not understand Di Renjie's meaning, nor did she know what he wanted to do.

Why did he withdraw the Imperial Guards from my side?

"My lord, we have discovered the whereabouts of the rebels and are going to wipe them out. So we have taken all the Thousand Bull Guards from the city with us."

Zhou Yi directly stated Di Renjie's purpose without any concealment, for there was no need to conceal anything from a dying man.

"What?"

Li Qingxia was shocked.

It's unclear how Di Renjie discovered the traces left by her.

I was extremely anxious for a moment.

Last night, Hu Jinghui went to assassinate Liu Jin. Logically, if he had succeeded, he would have come back to tell her.

She waited and waited, but Hu Jinghui never returned.

This made her feel uneasy.

I didn't sleep well all night, and I suspected that something might have happened to Hu Jinghui.

So now you're telling her that Di Renjie discovered the rebels' whereabouts?

Her subordinates had almost never seen her before.

Apart from Yu Feng, Chunxiang, and Hu Jinghui.

Previously, inside the cave, Chunxiang was responsible for communicating between her and her subordinates.

Yu Feng was in charge of communication in Youzhou City.

Yu Feng assassinated the fake Fang Qian and died.

Chun-hyang was also in charge of leading that rebel army.

She was under strict protection within the Grand Commander's Mansion, and it was Hu Jinghui who always helped her communicate with the rebel army.

The incident involving Hu Jinghui last night means that she has lost contact with that rebel army.

Everything is going in a bad direction.

Anxious, Li Qingxia urged, "Quickly, take me to see Di Renjie. I want to see Di Renjie."

"My lord, I'm afraid I don't have time to see you right now."

"What? He doesn't have time to see me?"

Do you know who I am?

I am Princess Yiyang, and my father is Prince Changle.

I am a descendant of Emperor Taizong, yet he has no time to see me?

That's incredibly audacious.

For a moment, Li Qingxia was a little exasperated.

He rushed down the steps, shouting, "He won't see me, so I'll go see him!"

Suddenly an arm was placed across her chest.

Looking down, I was surprised to see it was Zhou Yi's arm.

Seeing this, Li Qingxia raised her eyebrows and looked at him with anger in her eyes: "How dare you stop me?"

You dog of a lackey, how dare you!

I am Princess Yiyang.

"I know that, and I also know you are Jin Mulan..."

"What? You? How did you...?"

Zhou Yi finished speaking for her, a hint of disdain flashing across his face: "How did I know that, right?"

You think you're very smart, don't you?

Do you think your tricks can escape the adults' watchful eyes?

If we find someone to impersonate us and die, will we close the case?

That's so naive and ridiculous.

It's just a little trick; how could it possibly fool an adult?

Previously, the adults only refrained from exposing you because you were a descendant of Emperor Taizong.

"Now that the master is going to suppress the rebels, he asked me to see you off before he departs."

Li Qingxia raised the tray in her hand and then noticed the cup on it; it was clearly a cup of poisoned wine.

He rambled on and on for a long time.

Zhou Yi now understands why those villains didn't just kill Di Renjie when they faced him, but instead had to leave time for them to talk a lot.

He also made Di Renjie say a lot of things, and in the end, he fell into Di Renjie's plan.

He was killed.

The villains plotted a whole bunch of things, finally luring Di Renjie into their scheme.

If he didn't reveal his brilliant scheme and let Di Renjie know how he had been deceived, he would be in trouble.

Seeing his dejected look, how can I feel satisfied or accomplished?

Those plans were often intricately linked, and the enemy they faced was someone as intelligent and powerful as Di Renjie.

He shouldn't understand how he can demonstrate his intellectual superiority over Di Renjie.

The sense of accomplishment they gained from crushing Di Renjie satisfied their ambition and desires even more than if they had killed him directly.

……

Zhou Yi had the same mentality when he faced Li Qingxia.

Seeing her arrogant and hysterical state, I couldn't help but directly expose her plan, indicating that your plan had already been seen through.

To gain a sense of accomplishment by achieving intellectual superiority.

"This, this is impossible, this is impossible..." Li Qingxia seemed unable to face the reality that her scheme had been seen through, and she waved her arms wildly.

A crazed expression appeared on his face.

He stared intently at Zhou Yi: "You, you can't possibly see through my plan."

It's all fake, fake...

"Wake up, your plan is full of flaws."

To prevent you from implicating a large number of princes surnamed Li.

The master specifically asked me to send you on your way.

"Are you going to drink it yourself, or do you want me to do it for you?" Zhou Yi shook his head and picked up the cup of poisoned wine from the tray.

"Where is Hu Jinghui? Where did Hu Jinghui go?"

Li Qingxia didn't even look at the Book of Changes; instead, she asked a question in return.

"Since he has seen through you, he has naturally been seen through as well."

Last night's assassination attempt on Liu Jin failed; he is naturally dead.

Although Hu Jinghui is still alive, he must be dead, and can only be dead.

"He's dead? How could he be dead?" Upon hearing that Hu Jinghui was dead, Li Qingxia seemed to lose her mind for a moment, repeating the same question over and over.

"Please." Zhou Yi walked up to Li Qingxia with the poisoned wine and handed it to her.

"I, I..." Suddenly she raised her head, looking at Zhou Yi in front of her, as if she wanted to say something.

"The magistrate, considering that you are a descendant of Emperor Taizong, cannot bear to kill you."

That's why they sent me.

Don't even think about running away; you can't escape.

"I..." The word had barely left his lips when a bright light suddenly flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes.

Li Qingxia pulled out a dagger from her waist and stabbed it at Zhou Yi in front of her.

"Bang." I was already prepared for this move.

In the original development, the rebel army under her control was eventually wiped out, and Hu Jinghui also died.

She was powerless to struggle, and since her subordinates had not yet been eliminated and Zhou Yi was in front of her, she wanted to make a last-ditch effort.
