"When did you start planning all this? And how did you find out the map to Penglai was hidden in the Eighth Prince's eyes? Also, who was your inside man in the Imperial Palace?" Ye Qianning didn't beat around the bush.
Qin Huai cowered, seemingly unwilling to speak.
Ye Qianning shot Ying Ge a look.
Ying Ge was shocked to hear the string of revelations, but she quickly recovered. She stepped forward, grabbed him by the hair, dragged him over, and kicked him in the knee.
"AHH—"
Qin Huai screamed in agony.
"Talk," Ying Ge said, applying more pressure with her foot.
Sweat beaded on Qin Huai's forehead from the pain. "I... I am... the royal consort of East Shu... How dare you do this..."
"I'd dare to kill the Princess East Shu, let alone a mere consort like you," Ye Qianning sneered.
Qin Huai's eyes widened in utter shock. "You... you really killed the princess...?"
He had vaguely suspected it, but hearing it with his own ears was still a great shock.
