Chapter 305: 305. I lived with him for several days.
After Qiao Sen received the note from Fang Zhou under the name of Baron Qi Beilin, he immediately summoned several loyal military generals to the Imperial Palace overnight.
"I have received secret reports that Di Qingying is closely associated with Di Ao in private. Recently, she has been frequently contacting the generals of the Forbidden Army. I suspect she is highly likely to rebel."
Qiao Sen’s words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving the generals stunned and speechless.
"Your Highness, could there be some misunderstanding in this?"
One of the generals cautiously said, "Di Qingying has had no dealings with the Di family for many years, and has had a rocky relationship with Di Ao. How could she be closely associated with him?"
The other generals also agreed, as Di Qingying was known for her excellent interpersonal skills, being kind to others, and having good relations with both civil and military officials inside and outside the court.
To suddenly say that such a good-natured person would rebel was hard for them to believe.
"Are you doubting that I am slandering Di Qingying?"
Qiao Sen said expressionlessly. After seizing power as regent, her authority had grown significantly, devoid of her former tender demeanor, intimidating others from treating her lightly.
The generals immediately denied any such thought.
Qiao Sen suddenly sneered, "Di Qingying has good relationships with everyone except for her strained ties with Di Ao. You say she would go to such lengths to clear her name but openly fall out with Di Ao; don’t you think this act has gone too far?"
The generals exchanged glances, having never doubted that Di Qingying was part of the Di Faction. Hearing Qiao Sen’s words, Di Qingying’s fallout with Di Ao seemed overly deliberate.
"Moreover, I am not convinced that Di Qingying will rebel; I’m just having you prepare in advance just in case."
Qiao Sen did not believe that Di Qingying would rebel tonight. She planned to find some excuse to lure Di Qingying into the palace for control and investigate her further.
Calling these generals here was mainly to have them strengthen the defenses of the capital overnight, so when Di Qingying was brought under control, they could pacify her protégés, preventing any desperate actions that might cause trouble.
After the generals departed with serious expressions, taking their assignments, Qiao Sen instructed the guards to secretly follow them and see if any would sneak off to tip off Di Qingying.
After finishing her tasks, Qiao Sen finally relaxed a bit; if Zhao Luofei were still around, she wouldn’t have had to go through all this trouble.
Yu Qing and the others were waiting in a side hall for Qiao Sen to handle these matters, which gave Qiao Sen a bit of a headache when she thought of them.
She had promised Baron Qi Beilin not to disclose his situation casually, but there was no way to explain the origin of this note.
She could only attribute it to a previous secret informant. Initially, Qiao Sen suspected the first note was sent by the missing Mr. Ling, later suspecting it was from Qi Beilin.
Both individuals were possible culprits, leaving her in confusion.
But Qiao Sen soon did not need to consider this issue, because Zhou Tong returned from capturing Di Ao.
Zhou Tong brought back Yang Suhua, the mole planted by Qiao Sen’s mother next to Di Ao, as well as Zhao Luofei, who had been missing for days and whom Qiao Sen dearly missed.
However, they did not bring back the most important person, Di Ao.
Although Di Ao’s escape greatly disappointed Qiao Sen, seeing Zhao Luofei return immediately turned her disappointment into joy.
Zhao Luofei appeared a bit startled upon seeing Qiao Sen; it was as if the Princess she had known for years had completely changed.
Upon seeing the returned Zhao Luofei, Yu Qing and the others came from the side hall.
"General Zhao, where is the person who went missing with you?"
Xuan Ling impatiently asked.
When Xuan Ling mentioned Fang Zhou, Zhao Luofei’s expression darkened, and she suddenly said, "He was never a weak man bullied at the Heavenly Sword Sect. You were deceiving me from the start, weren’t you?"
With the truth exposed, Yu Qing and Gou Cheng felt a bit awkward—it wasn’t their fault, it was all Fang Zhou’s request.
They were also very curious about what happened after Fang Zhou and Zhao Luofei went missing, how this actor was exposed by her.
Yes, in most people’s eyes at the Heavenly Sword Sect, including Yu Qing’s, Fang Zhou was a complete actor. Yu Qing sometimes even suspected that Fang Zhou had a role-playing fetish.
Xuan Ling, however, was not embarrassed by the exposed lie and instead smiled frivolously, leaning on Zhao Luofei’s shoulder with her elbow, "Oh, judging by your expression, did you have some unspeakable dealings with that bastard?"
Zhao Luofei, being straightforward, immediately nodded, "Yes, I lived with him for several days, sleeping together every night."
"Pff!"
Qiao Sen, who was drinking tea, suddenly sprayed the tea all over Zhou Tong, who was caught off guard.
She couldn’t bother to apologize, looking at Zhao Luofei with shocked eyes.
Amazing, sister, you managed this quickly with Mr. Ling?
Qiao Sen had to give Zhao Luofei a mental thumbs up; she did what Qiao Sen wanted to but did not dare to do.
However, it seemed like something was forgotten?
Hearing Zhao Luofei’s explosive statement, Yu Qing was dumbstruck, suddenly feeling a strong pang of jealousy and heartache, as if she was again experiencing the feelings of her novel’s protagonist, Xu Qing.
Ha, perhaps this is life.
Compared to Yu Qing, who was lamenting and sulking, Xuan Ling’s reaction was more direct.
She smirked coldly and sarcastically said, "Wow, another ignorant woman fooled by that scumbag who loves everyone. Tell me, General Zhao, what is it like being with him? If you think he only likes you, you’re sorely mistaken..."
Gou Cheng remained silent among them, not daring to speak or ask, fearing the wrath of his two senior sisters.
Seeing her words misunderstood, Zhao Luofei quickly said, "Everyone misunderstood; although we slept together, nothing happened between us."
The room fell silent, and Xuan Ling looked at her puzzled, "You don’t like men?"
Zhao Luofei forced a bitter smile, "Immortal Xuan Ling, please don’t tease me. I have great respect for Mr. Ling and would not offend him. We slept together out of necessity."
She briefly explained the situation, including how she wanted to provide happiness for Fang Zhou and take care of him for a lifetime, truly an honest person.
Yet the others found themselves with strange expressions after listening, truly unable to cry or laugh.
Especially Fang Zhou’s bizarre actions, leaving them overwhelmed, initially thinking his pretense of being Qiao Sen’s male concubine was outrageous enough, only for him to further dramatize himself into an innocent victim role.
Upon disappearing with Zhao Luofei, he went as far as faking death to escape and ended up being forcibly taken into Di Ao’s manor for "play."
Though knowing that given Fang Zhou’s ability, he likely wouldn’t be overpowered by Di Ao, they were all curious about how he managed to keep himself untainted while pretending to be outwitted by Di Ao.
If Zhao Luofei hadn’t gone to assassinate Di Ao and stumbled upon the truth, all present might have remained deceived until the end.
