Capítulo 1633: Chapter 1640 Initial Signs (2)
Cai Wei sneered, “You still dare to talk to about fairness? I have no grievances or enmity with you, yet for a re five thousand taels of gold, you want to take my life. Is this fair to ? If it weren’t for my own skills, I would probably already be lying in a coffin. Not killing you is already an act of rcy. What right do you have to negotiate terms with ?”
“No, I don’t care, I won’t eat it! I absolutely won’t eat it.”
The leader, seeing Chang i approaching with the pills, cried out in fear, “Empress, don’t push too far. If you force , I’ll fight you to the death, destroying the net along with the jade!”
“Hehehe… Destroying the net along with the jade? What a joke. You overestimate yourself. In my eyes, you are just an ant, not even worth a shrimp, let alone a fish.”
Cai Wei laughed heartily, as if she’d heard a joke.
With a “chirp,” Chang i flew up and landed on the leader, using astonishing strength to pry open his hand with her small claws, and pinched his jaw to stuff the pill inside.
The leader still tried to wrestle with Chang i, but just as his hand reached Chang i’s thin arm, the White Tiger suddenly roared, shaking the entire hall, extinguishing the nearby torches.
Under the intimidation of the White Tiger, the leader dared not move recklessly. The pill was cramd into his mouth and swallowed with a gulp pushed by Chang i.
Suddenly, the leader’s face turned ashen, and he collapsed to the ground, muttering, “Heart rot pill, heart rot pill…”
Cai Wei glanced at him coldly, waved her hand, and threw the dicine bottle to Chang i, saying indifferently, “Give each of them one pill. If anyone refuses to eat it, let the White Tiger imdiately bite them to death, no leniency!”
Hearing this, all the robbers were so terrified that they kowtowed on the ground, crying out, “Empress Dowager, spare our lives, we will never dare again…”
Cai Wei said coldly, “Whether you live or die depends on you, not . If you behave and obey, I will naturally give you the antidote. But if you think of playing tricks, hehe… it won’t end well.”
“We will obey, we promise to behave, please instruct us, Empress Dowager…” the robbers responded loudly, kowtowing repeatedly.
Cai Wei said, “Good, since you’ve all seen the person who hired you to kill , help identify him. I will search for his whereabouts within a four hundred li radius. When you encounter any suspicious individuals, split up and confirm for . Once it’s verified as him, report to imdiately. After I verify it’s indeed him, you will receive the antidote.”
“Yes, yes, we promise to do our best to help the Empress Dowager find that scoundrel as soon as possible…”
The bandits, fed the heart rot pill by Chang i, dared not refuse, all voicing their agreent and wishing they could start searching imdiately.

At this mont, Cai Wei felt a tinge of regret. If she had known today would co, it would’ve been great to learn painting in her past life. If she could paint, sketch out the man’s likeness as described by the leader, and have Brother Ying find him using the portrait, wouldn’t that lead to an imdiate discovery?
After dispatching Brother Ying, Cai Wei mounted the White Tiger amidst the astonished gazes of the bandits and robbers, disappearing into the moonlight like lightning.
After returning to the palace, Nangong Yi still hadn’t returned. Cai Wei felt a mont of disappointnt before slipping into the Space. At this ti, the children were still asleep in her bed, and she kissed their furry little heads one by one before lying down.
In the past, around this ti, the five of them would be squeezed here sleeping. But now five beca four, leaving her feeling empty inside, unable to sleep.
