Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 590 The Abandoned Chess Pieces
"Is it seriously injured?" Chi Xinian took a look, and saw a strange corpse on the ground, and the injured Xin Yi, Huo Linhai and others.

She hurried forward to check the injuries of several people.

After confirming that they were all fine, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Hurry up and take care of the injuries, and then tell me, what's going on?"

"Someone sneaked in pretending to be a jailer and wanted to kill him." Xinyi gritted his teeth and wrapped the wound on his arm tightly with a bandage, then turned pale again, and glanced at Huo Linhai with lingering fear, "Fortunately, he spared his life and tried to find a way to arouse it." The attention of our people allowed us to win this game by luck."

As she said that, a trace of fear appeared in her eyes: "He has some abilities himself, but he is not the enemy's opponent at all. If we had come late then, what we saw now, he might be the one lying on the ground."

Knowing the importance of Huo Linhai, Xinyi was so afraid.

She really couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if this person was killed right under the noses of a group of them...

"The other party... so powerful?" Chi Xinian couldn't help showing a trace of solemnity when he roughly asked and understood the situation.

She looked around at several people, including Huo Linhai, who was the most injured, with serious eyes: "There are eight of you in total, all of you are wounded, and the main target can hardly get up... So, how long did it take to kill him?"

She pointed to the dead body beside her.

"Two moments of hard work..." This time it was Huo Linhai who was panting against the wall.

Compared to before, he was far less prepared and calculating towards Chi Xinian.

Before Chi Xinian could speak, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a wry smile: "This time I really believe that they want to get rid of my useless pawn...

"I know what level I am.

"I have dealt with all of your subordinates, and I know their strengths and weaknesses.

"None of the eight of us is weak. But eight against one, we still have to do our best to narrowly win a move..."

Speaking of this, Huo Linhai's complexion couldn't help turning pale again: "You won't find this kind of person temporarily. To take a step back, even if you find someone temporarily, you won't let him die here.

"This man... looks like a dead man, born only for selfishness..."

The current scene has made Huo Linhai completely understand that he has become an abandoned pawn.They want him to die with a secret, and if he wants to live, he can only count on this woman in front of him.

But... can she give him a way out?
"I can give you the evidence in hand, but you have to give me a way out." After hesitating for a moment, Huo Linhai finally decided to take a gamble.

Anyway, not to mention death, but to say, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

But when Chi Xinian heard the words, she just tilted her head slightly and asked, "Why should I promise you?

"Yes, someone is so eager to take your life, it can indeed prove that you have a secret. But, I gave you a way to survive, how can I explain to the world?

"Things in the imperial court are twists and turns, and there are many solutions. But the case you committed determines the prestige of the imperial court in the eyes of the world.

"On balance, I still think the latter is more important."

"Then what do you want?" Huo Linhai took a step back and asked Chi Xinian directly.

If this person is still standing here talking to him, then there is something to talk about.

Otherwise, she just had to pull him out and behead him for public display, and she didn't have to talk nonsense with him at all.

So, he wants to hear, what is her plan?
