After escaping from danger, Qian Yexun finally had the chance to ask about today's' harvest 'with concern.

However, from the looks of it, it seemed as if his heart had been cleared.

The Imperial City was so vast, it would not be an easy task to find a carriage driver.

But if you had the heart, there was nothing you couldn't do.

Ban Xia accepted his arrangements. He had quite a solid foundation in the Imperial City, and if she wanted to find someone, was probably better at it.

It was already the second half of the night when he returned to the inn.

When the sky brightened, Zhang Liang knocked on the door anxiously.

"Mistress, it's not good!"

Zhang Liang's face was strange, only when his eyes made contact with Ban Xia, he said half of what he wanted to say, and then swallowed his words.

"What happened?"

Zhang Liang was a subordinate of Qian Yexun, so he understood his subordinate very well. If something big had not happened outside, Zhang Liang would not have been so panicked.

"Speak, there is no need to be afraid of my existence." Ban Xia had already seen through the hesitation in Zhang Liang's words.

She guessed that this news must have something to do with her.

Zhang Liang opened his mouth, and then braced himself and continued.

"The information I got this morning is very reliable. The two people that were imprisoned in the marble temple committed suicide by biting their tongue in their cells late last night!"

Boom! Boom!

When such a heavyweight piece of news came smashing down, Ban Xia's mind was completely blank. She could not accept this fact.

"How could this be …" "Obviously, when I went to visit her in her cell, although her injuries were severe, she never mentioned that she didn't want to live anymore …"

In the end, they were still living people, and there were two of them.

"Both of them committed suicide?" Qian Yexun did not seem to be overly surprised.

"The news was spread through specific channels by our people. It was very reliable, but the marble temple had already sealed off all information from the outside, so no one outside knew about it." Zhang Liang reported truthfully.

"It looks like she knows that she won't be able to escape this time, and she also has thoughts of taking her own life. Rather than living in humiliation and being forced to submit to all kinds of torture devices and get beaten up, it would be better to end their own lives. At the very least, they have to have some dignity even if they die.

If he was locked up in a place like this, even if his body was beaten up every day, if he was able to hold on, the despair and fear in his heart would still be irreparable.

Ban Xia looked dejected, and was unable to react for a long time.

"No wonder... No wonder I wanted to throw medicine at them. They all said no, I wanted to apply the medicine myself, but they rejected me … So it turns out that they already have the heart to beg for death. "

"That may not be so. Before they told us their secret and met you, I don't think they already had the heart to beg for their deaths. As long as they have a chance to rely on the secret in their hearts and no longer have any concerns, they would choose a path that would end their own lives."

In this case, everything seemed to be within reason.

"Why didn't I notice their abnormality last night … If I had discovered it earlier, perhaps I would have advised her to … There's still time to stop them. " Ban Xia blamed herself.

Zhang Liang consciously stepped back, and Qian Yexun slowly walked over and pulled the sad Ban Xia into his embrace.

"No, it's not your fault! The one in the palace, if you intentionally don't want them to live, then they won't be able to! "

However, they were all pitiful victims.

"What will the marble temple do with their corpses?" Ban Xia endured the grief in her heart.

Nothing could change.

"He should be dragged out to the unmarked grave site or something like that, but right now, the news will quickly spread to the palace. The person in the palace probably won't give up, and he will continue to personally inspect the scene in the marble temple to confirm that there is no news of his death."

The past Empress Dowager Zhen, who had already been 'killed' by historians, was now truly dead.

Ban Xia choked and nestled in Qian Yexun's embrace as she pleaded.

"While they are alive, I cannot do anything for them. If they are dead, I will send them on their final journey. That's the last thing I can do for them. "

Qian Yexun was unable to refuse her request.

"Alright, I promise you that I'll do as you say."

The person in his arms was not some cold-faced and heartless female assassin. It was clear that she had a kind heart and was the most kind-hearted girl in the world.

"Thank you." Ban Xia was too tired to cry, she slowly lost all her strength, and in the end, was carried by Qian Yexun to the top.

"Between us, there's no need for that. Furthermore, even if you didn't make such a request, I would have told my subordinates to do as they see fit. No matter what, she is still the chaste empress dowager of the palace, the concubine of the late emperor, and an elder of the same generation as my matriarch …"

Ban Xia was glad that she had married him under such a coincidence because of an absurd imperial edict.

Only he could understand her, know her, help her, help her.

When rain came, they hugged each other and gave each other the warmth and strength they wanted.

Only after the next dynasty did Qian Yelei find out the exact information.

"He died just like that?"

He hadn't gotten the thing he wanted yet.

How could that woman just die like that?

"No, I don't believe it."

It was as if he had been provoked to the point that he could not accept this fact.

"Let's go, I want to make a trip to marble temple myself, and personally go to the prison to see if she is really dead or faking her death. This woman was too cunning! Hadn't she just faked it once before? Our people are looking around, but we can't find her. However, she ran into the mountain like the White Horse Temple's temple, and even shaven her family and became an old Daoist. So this time, she must be playing some kind of tricks! I will definitely not be fooled by her again. "

The palace maid immediately prepared the carriage and headed straight for marble temple.

The marble temple's Honorable Temple Master was so scared that his face turned ashen. Ever since he confirmed the news, he did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as one wasn't a fool, one could tell that these two criminals were especially important to the current emperor. Otherwise, the current emperor wouldn't have come to the marble temple to interrogate them.

The criminal committed suicide in the prison of marble temple. No matter what, the marble temple could not get rid of this responsibility.

The number of jailers that he had to watch the night shift in marble temple was so great that he, the Great Honored Warrior of the marble temple, was unable to report anything to the Emperor. This black gauze hat of his, might even be taken off!

When Qian Ye Li arrived at marble temple, the size of the marble temple had sunk into an unprecedented solemn atmosphere.

The current Emperor's expression was frighteningly gloomy, so they could only be more cautious.

Qian Ye Li personally went to the prison. The prison was still in its current state and there were no traces of movement.

Everything seemed normal. There were no signs of a struggle or struggle in the cell. There was no damage to the cell and the lock was still intact, so it could be directly used to rule out any suspicion of murder.

He let go in disgust and bit his tongue to commit suicide.

As for the unimportant little nun beside him, her wounds were all caused by torture. The only fatal part was her tongue that had been bitten off. Similarly, she had bit her tongue to commit suicide.

The master and the servant both chose to use such a brutal method to express their displeasure as well as the anger in their hearts to Qian Yelei.

Death was nothing to be afraid of.

Rather than living in humiliation and without a shred of dignity, they would rather die. To them, dying was a rare relief.

Because if he died, he would no longer have to face any of his torture and torture to force a confession. If he died, he would be able to leave this dark and humid marble temple Dungeon …

"Damn it!"

He had gone through so much trouble to find them and even brought them back to the capital in a high-profile manner. Who would have thought that they would actually commit suicide themselves?

Then all his previous plans had been in vain. All the money he had spent in the early stages had all gone to waste.
