Chapter 2327 Flaw
"Don't worry, your suffering won't be in vain." Du Shan pondered, "Is there any other hidden information?"
Mei Wu Niang bit her lip: "Actually, there's one more thing, which I used every trick in the book to keep from Nie Xiaolou, and that is..."
After talking for a while, she got tired, and since it was confidential information, her voice became lower and lower.
The two were already sitting close together, so Du Shan naturally leaned forward to hear what she was saying.
"I...I feel a little dizzy..." Mei Wu Niang swayed twice and almost fell on him.
Du Shan naturally reached out to help her up, but Mei Wu Niang suddenly lunged forward and crashed into his arms!
This was truly unexpected. Du Shan felt a chill in his chest as a sharp blade pierced through him!
"You, you're crazy..." He subconsciously slapped Mei Wuniang away and tried to grab her neck, but his vital points were injured and he couldn't exert any strength. Moreover, after Mei Wuniang stabbed him in the heart with a dagger, she was afraid that he wouldn't die completely, so she grabbed the dagger and twisted it a few times.
"If I'm not crazy, you'll just treat me like a fool and play me for a fool the whole way." Mei Wu Niang sneered, "Hey, hurry up and show your true colors!"
Du Shan knelt down, and his face indeed changed, transforming into a black-faced, fanged expression.
Of course, normal humans don't look like that.
It bared its sharp teeth and lunged fiercely at Mei Wu Niang.
She gripped the dagger tightly, preparing for a desperate fight.
However, the monster turned into ashes halfway through its attack and disappeared into thin air with a bang.
At the same time, the scene she was in also fell apart.
The tables and chairs in front of me, the lights and trees outside the window, the neighing of horses and the voices of people not far away... all vanished into thin air.
It's like a sugar house melting under the scorching heat of a raging fire.
Mei Wu Niang slowly opened her eyes, as if waking from a dream.
Her world hadn't truly collapsed, because she was still in her room at the Tuoxiang Inn in the Kingdom of Bega. The night was deep, and there wasn't a single chirp or bird call outside; it was as quiet as a graveyard.
It turns out she had been here all along, never leaving for a moment.
The air was thick with the smell of medicine. Mei Wu Niang lowered her head and saw that her hands were still bandaged like two round rice dumplings, with dark red showing through the gauze.
Nie Xiaolou sat opposite her, with a pot of hot tea and a cup on the table.
Seeing Mei Wu Niang suddenly open her eyes, Nie Xiao Lou frowned almost imperceptibly, lowered her gaze, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.
"It really was just a dream!" Mei Wuniang smirked, mocking him. "You didn't fool me, are you disappointed?"
Judging from the injuries on her hands, only a little over an hour had passed since she was subjected to severe torture, and her head was still spinning.
Nie Xiaolou said, "It's time to change the medicine."
He was determined to try again; he was unwilling to sit idly by and watch such important information leak out of Lingxu City.
No sooner had she finished speaking than a doctor came in to change Mei Wu Niang's dressing.
The man's technique was very gentle, causing her no further pain. After cleaning the wound, he said, "You don't need to bandage your right hand anymore. Just apply medicine regularly from now on."
The wound on her right hand had long since stopped bleeding, and the medicine from Qinggong was very effective; the swelling in her finger, which had been swollen like a dough ball, had subsided.
During this time, Mei Wuniang also reviewed everything that had just happened in her mind.
Clearly, the Lord of Qing Palace had set another trap for her, taking advantage of her strong desire to escape and creating a dream in which she could safely return to Cang Yan!
This person truly doesn't know what it means to be resigned to death.
Everything in the dream felt real. Even if some minor details were off, Mei Wu Niang's mind was clouded by the trauma she suffered, so she might not have noticed them. Nie Xiao Lou also arranged for her to ride in a "floating boat," which involved flying almost entirely in the air; how could she possibly see the details on the ground?
As Cang Yan's spy, she naturally had to report back upon returning to Ju City. Nie Xiaolou probably wasn't quite sure what the specific handover procedures would be like after she returned to the capital, so she simply arranged for "Du Shan" to personally greet her.
It's reasonable for the Prime Minister to receive such a shocking secret. That would be an act of deference, bypassing the normal procedures.
When Mei Wuniang returned to Jucheng, she must have felt a great sense of relief at escaping the den of demons and returning home safely. People tend to let their guard down when they are relaxed. If she revealed the fourth secret to "Du Shan," it would prove that Nie Xiaolou's suspicions were reasonable and his plan was far-reaching.
She revealed the first three major secrets in order to protect this last one, which shows how explosive its contents are.
Mei Wu Niang stared intently at Nie Xiao Lou in front of her.
This man was the successor personally appointed by the late Qingyang Grand Preceptor. Although his fame is far less than hers, his ability to hold this position for over a decade speaks volumes about his competence. Putting everything else aside, his unwavering determination to get to the bottom of things is enough to terrify anyone on the receiving end.
Nie Xiaolou laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't make a move again. You should get some rest tonight, and I'll send someone to escort you back to Cangyan first thing tomorrow morning."
Mei Wu Niang raised an eyebrow in annoyance. Nie Xiao Lou in her dream had said the same thing before.
"The night is long, and I have just woken up... If you have the leisure and inclination, you can try a few more times."
After saying that, she couldn't help but yawn again.
Nie Xiaolou maintained her smile. This tactic only works the first time when someone is caught off guard; once it fails, it's difficult to use again.
However, the Emperor had already accepted the personal letter from the Nine Nether Emperor and was about to let Mei Wu Niang leave safely. In other words, he could no longer torture her.
That's why he designed this harmless little game, without causing any physical or emotional harm, waiting for her to voluntarily reveal any secrets—if there were any.
However, Mei Wu Niang saw through it again. Alas, what a pity about this opportunity.
He asked her, "How do you know it was all a dream? If it were real, you would be remembered in history for murdering the prime minister of Cang Yan."
"How could it be so easy to achieve lasting fame? Oh no, I mean, how could the Prime Minister of Cangyan be so easily killed?" Over the years, she had occasionally heard gossip from afar, saying that Du Shan had a bad reputation before, and even after becoming the Prime Minister of Cangyan, he still had many annoying habits and would turn his back on people. But if this guy were so easy to kill, would it have been her turn to kill him?
Nie Xiaolou raised the teapot: "How did you see through it?"
He was also curious.
The one who orchestrated this dream was his best nightmare. Sometimes, even he himself couldn't see the flaws.
He took out another teacup, placed it in front of Mei Wu Niang, and personally filled it for her.
This woman is qualified to sit at the table and have tea.
Mei Wu Niang glanced at the cup of tea, not worried that he might tamper with it, and gently sipped it.
Every time she picked up the cup, it aggravated her wound, causing her great pain, but she seemed oblivious to it.
"cat."
"What's wrong with the cat?" In fact, now that Nie Xiaolou thinks back, the flaw was probably in the request that Mei Wu Niang had specifically made.
“Your men brought me the cat as I requested. It was indeed a dirty, thin little white cat with yellow eyes.” Mei Wu Niang gently placed the cup on the table. “It also has a limp in its left hind leg.”
Nie Xiaolou awaited her next words.
"But the cat I feed in real life has a limp in its right hind leg!"
