"Y-Yes... The princess has a secret outpost in the Capital City. Usually, a young palace servant who handles the swill delivers the letters there... The day before yesterday, the princess received a letter from Consort Yuan and immediately left Four-direction Mountain..." Qin Huai didn't dare hide a single detail.
Ye Qianning turned to look at Sang Zhi. "The one who delivered the message to you was a eunuch from Consort Yuan's service. So it all adds up."
Sang Zhi's face was deathly pale. Consort Yuan had actually conspired with East Shu to kill him.
But he still couldn't believe that his eyes truly held the so-called map of Penglai. It all felt too surreal.
"I've told you everything I know! Please, stop torturing me... Just give me a quick death..." Qin Huai knew death was certain, but all he wanted now was release. He never wanted to endure that terrifying experience again.
