Disguised as a man, she became the biggest villain in the book.

Chapter 106 Only a Slight Move Needed

As soon as Zisang entered the study, his expression immediately changed, and he respectfully greeted, "My lord!"

When Zheng Luoqi saw Zisang arrive, she asked, "Is she still waiting outside?"

"Yes!" Zisang replied respectfully.

"Is it really okay for you to do this, sir?" Zisang asked, puzzled.

"Why not? Isn't it working very well now? She's quite deeply involved," Zheng Luoqi said calmly.

"My lord, why don't you just torture her directly? Wouldn't that be faster?" Zisang continued to ask.

“No, that would alert them. If I’m not mistaken, her master should be in the government office, but I don’t know which one of them it is,” Zheng Luoqi said.

"Understood!" Zisang replied.

"That's about right. Wait a few more days, and she'll relent. After all, I've given her a lot of false information during this time, and her master should have received it by now," Zheng Luoqi said slowly.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Zisang immediately became alert and heard Xiaotao outside the door say, "May I come in? Luoqi, I've thought things through these past few days."

Zheng Luoqi and Zisang exchanged a glance, and Zisang immediately understood. She sat directly on Zheng Luoqi's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said coquettishly, "My lord, you are so annoying."

"Come in!" Zheng Luoqi then said.

Xiao Tao opened the door and saw Zi Sang sitting in Zheng Luoqi's lap, flirting with him with his clothes open. This scene deeply stung Xiao Tao's eyes, even though she knew that it was all just Zheng Luoqi trying to make her jealous.

Looking at Xiao Tao's appearance, Zheng Luoqi showed a look of pity and coldly said, "Get up."

Zi Sang looked at Zheng Luoqi in surprise and said coquettishly, "My lord~ How could you do this! Humph!"

After saying that, Zisang pretended to be angry and left.

Seeing this, Xiao Tao felt a little sweet inside, thinking that Zheng Luoqi still cared about her and didn't want to see her sad.

After watching Zisang leave, Zheng Luoqi asked Xiaotao, "So, is there anything else you want to say?"

Xiao Tao regained her composure and slowly said, "I...I just missed you, so I came to see you."

"If you have nothing else to do, you can leave now. I have many things to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer," Zheng Luoqi said casually without even looking up at Xiao Tao.

But Xiao Tao interpreted these actions differently; it was clear that Zheng Luoqi was still angry with her and was waiting for her to coax him.

Xiao Tao walked over, took Zheng Luoqi's arm, leaned against him, and said affectionately, "My lord, what will it take for you to forgive Xiao Tao?"

Zheng Luoqi continued to ignore it, focusing on handling her official duties.

When Xiao Tao realized that this trick wasn't working, she sat on Zheng Luoqi's lap, leaned against him, and wrapped her arms around his neck, saying, "Sir, how about this?"

Xiao Tao remembered that Zheng Luoqi used to like to hug her like this. Every time she acted coquettishly, Zheng Luoqi would forgive her. She was determined that Zheng Luoqi would definitely forgive her quickly this time as well.

But this time Zheng Luoqi spoke very seriously: "Get down!"

After Xiao Tao continued to act coquettishly a few more times, Zheng Luoqi's expression softened, and she said, "I really can't do anything with you!" Then she put down her official duties and hugged Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao felt that her trick was indeed effective, and Zheng Luoqi also knew how to manipulate Xiao Tao's thoughts.

Zheng Luoqi put on a wronged look and slowly said, "If only you weren't sent by someone else, then we could leave everything behind and go far away."

Xiao Tao was also surprised by Zheng Luoqi's words; it would be a lie to say she wasn't tempted.

Xiao Tao looked at Zheng Luoqi's face. Although she had seen it many times, she was still amazed. Zheng Luoqi didn't seem to be joking. Suddenly, she realized that Zheng Luoqi had loved her to this extent.

Seeing that Xiao Tao seemed to be softening, Zheng Luoqi continued, "Who exactly is it? Do you think I'm not capable of fighting back? Or do you not trust me?"

Xiao Tao hesitated for a moment, looking troubled. Seeing this, Zheng Luoqi said considerately, "If you don't want to say, that's fine. I will never make things difficult for you."

As Zheng Luoqi spoke, she gently patted Xiao Tao's head, revealing a helpless smile as she comforted her.

Xiao Tao felt extremely sorry for Zheng Luoqi, seeing how she was enduring so much for love.

"I...I...I..." Xiao Tao stammered, wanting to speak but not daring to. Zheng Luoqi quickly stopped her and said affectionately, "If telling you would put you in danger, then I would rather not know."

Xiao Tao was so moved by Zheng Luoqi's words that she almost cried. Where could she find such a good man? He was handsome, rich, and powerful. He doted on her, and most importantly, he understood her so well. Xiao Tao felt her defenses were about to crumble.

Xiao Tao couldn't help but lean on Zheng Luoqi's shoulder and sob. Zheng Luoqi gently patted Xiao Tao's back and comforted her, "Why are you crying? Who upset you?"

Xiao Tao cried even harder, choking out, "I...I'm afraid you're lying to me."

Zheng Luoqi's face changed to one of heartache. She cupped Xiao Tao's face and made Xiao Tao look into her eyes, saying, "After all these days, can't you see how special I am to you? I just said that if you don't want to talk, no one can make things difficult for you."

"I don't want you to make things difficult for yourself because of this, understand?" Zheng Luoqi coaxed Xiao Tao gently. Looking at the sincerity in Zheng Luoqi's eyes, Xiao Tao really felt that she had fallen for him.

"They...they poisoned me...I'll die if I betray them," Xiaotao whispered.

Zheng Luoqi was taken aback and said, "Who? Should we find a doctor to take a look at you? Perhaps this poison can be cured?"

Xiao Tao shook her head, indicating that she didn't need it, saying, "It's no use. Only they have the antidote. I tried to find it before, but the doctors were helpless. I could only wait for them to give me one antidote every three months."

"Then what should we do? Should I find out who's behind this for you, kill them, and let you vent your anger?" Zheng Luoqi coaxed Xiao Tao with a smile.

"Is it possible to find them? I've never seen what they look like when I contact them normally," Xiao Tao asked doubtfully.

"How do you usually contact them? Perhaps I really can catch them?" Zheng Luoqi said with a smile to Xiao Tao.

“Leaf!” Xiaotao said.

"Leaf?" Zheng Luoqi asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Isn’t there a waterway connecting the fishpond in the government office to the outside? Every now and then, I’ll carve some information I know on the back of a leaf, and then let it float out of the government office with the current. Someone outside will naturally come to meet it,” Xiao Tao explained.

After hearing this, Zheng Luoqi thought to herself: So that's how it is. I was wondering why she liked being by the fishpond so much. Luckily, what I told her before was just false information.

Zheng Luoqi couldn't imagine what the Prime Minister's Mansion would be in now if the information she revealed was her own.

Zheng Luoqi was already thinking about how to kill Xiao Tao, but her face was full of doting affection for Xiao Tao.
