Nineteen didn't know what Xia Yue was thinking about. Walking over to the bedside, she said to Mu Qianxue, "Fifteen and I went to investigate the two families that the princess had told us about before. We have already arrived outside Jinling City and should be able to enter the city tomorrow."

"Have the Jiang Clan members found them?"

"No, do as the princess ordered and keep this matter a secret from the public."

"Alright." Mu Qianxue replied before saying to Nineteen who was still worn out from the journey, "You're tired too. Go and rest quickly. I still have something that I need you guys to investigate tomorrow."

"What is it?"

Mu Qianxue pondered for a moment before saying, "I suspect that Emperor Zhou won't kill Wei Wenbin because of this."

Nineteen frowned and shook her head, "Impossible. Today, His Majesty has ordered the execution of Wei Wenbin in front of hundreds of civil and military officials. He will execute him in three days. No matter what, he is the ruler of a country. He shouldn't go back on his word."

Mu Qianxue smiled and said meaningfully, "There's never been only one way to save someone."

Her words caused Nineteen's eyebrows to tighten even more. The autumn wind blew in from outside the window, blowing up the corners of his blue clothes like a stubborn butterfly dancing in the autumn wind. "Princess's will, is it that His Majesty will secretly save me?"

Mu Qianxue caressed her pale cheek as she said with a faint smile, "Just as you said just now, he is the ruler of a country, and has the Glazed Glass Workshop for his use. It wouldn't be difficult for him to secretly save the next person."

Nineteen bowed her head and thought for a moment: "If there are no surprises then the Ministry of Justice should be in charge of overseeing the execution. Do you think we should keep an eye on the Ministry of Justice for the next three days?"

"No!" Mu Qianxue's answer came as a surprise to Nineteen as she asked, "No?"

"Keep an eye on the Board of Justice but don't stop them. Let them do what they want. They can even push them when they need it."

Xia Yue became even more confused, "Princess, didn't you always intend to help King Rui deal with His Majesty and the others? Why … You've changed your mind again? "

Mu Qianxue's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and her eyes that were as dark as the night outside fell on the white, flawless mutton fat white jade bracelet on her wrist. "You all have forgotten, our target has never been Wei Wenbin."

"Of course I know. It's His Majesty and the Guard …" Halfway through his words, Nineteen suddenly realized what was going on. His eyes flickered like stars in the night sky. "You want to make a move later?"

"When the citizens of Jinling City see Wei Wenbin being executed with their own eyes and see him standing right in front of them, guess … What will they think? " Mu Qianxue's smile was always so beautiful, without a trace of sharpness. Yet, she was the one who was good at scheming and scheming.

"I understand. I will do as you say." 19 simply agreed. After a moment of silence, he said in a stiff tone, "How is your illness?"

Mu Qianxue smiled and replied, "It's just a minor illness and not life-threatening."

Nineteen nodded and was about to leave when her expression suddenly changed and she quickly dashed out. Soon after, Nineteen's voice called out, "Who's there?"

Xia Yue wanted to go out and take a look, but she was surprised to see Nineteen walk in with a gloomy face, holding a dart with a slip of paper pinned to it.

Mu Qianxue's expression turned cold. "Assassin?"

Nineteen looked at the dart in his hand and said with a strange expression, "It shouldn't be an assassin." As she spoke, she removed the piece of paper nailed to the dart and handed it over to Mu Qianxue. After she unfolded it and read it, her expression became weirder than nineteen.

Xia Yue curiously asked: "Princess, what's written on it?"

Mu Qianxue didn't say anything and only handed over the slip of paper. Xia Yue read out the four words on it, "Transferring flowers to a tree?"

She blinked and asked in confusion, "What does that mean?"

"It seems that we are not the only ones to have guessed Dong Fang's plan." After speaking, she turned to Nineteen and asked, "Do you know who it is?"

Nineteen shook her head and said, "He's dressed in black and her face is covered. She came and went very quickly. I can't tell his identity at all."

"I know." A voice suddenly rang out from the doorway. It was unknown when fifteen was standing there.

Nineteen asked in surprise, "You know him?"

"Not really." Fifteen walked in and said, "Do you remember that masked man who saved me from Thousand Generations Ben Ying?"

"Of course." Nineteen's eyelids twitched as he blurted out, "It's him?"

Fifteen nodded and said, "Even though he left very quickly, I was still able to recognize his movement technique."

Nineteen pondered for a while and then said uncertainly, "First he saved you, and now he has come to deliver a letter to tell us that His Majesty wants to move the flowers into the trees. Is he really a Supreme Realm cultivator?"

Mu Qianxue stroked the smooth and silky quilt as her thoughts spun like a wheel. "Compared to his identity, I'm more curious as to how he knew the thoughts of the Zhou Emperor. I wonder if she guessed the same thing as us …"

Xia Yue waited for a while, but didn't see her continue speaking. She couldn't help but ask: "Or what?"

"Nothing." Mu Qianxue didn't tell her speculations, which were still unclear. "What happened to the people from the escort team?"

Fifteen responded, "Wei Wenbin has already been convicted, so they no longer need to testify, so they will leave Jinling for Jiangning tomorrow. Prince has already ordered eighteen guards to send them to a safe place along the way, and their families have also been sent to pick them up.

"That's good." Xia Yue was afraid that she would work too hard like before, so she advised, "Princess, please rest early. There are also the escort guards in the Ministry of Justice, and the princes and the God Artillery Camp are watching over them. Nothing will happen."

After they had spoken for so long, Mu Qianxue was indeed tired. After they left, she fell into a deep sleep with her eyes closed.

The autumn rain was cold, and the autumn rain that fell in the middle of the night caused the weather on the second day to become even colder. Many people wore thin cotton clothes, resisting the cold.

At daybreak the next day, Zhou Zheng and the others who were staying at the inn left the inn after packing their things. Wei Wenbin had already been convicted, and as witnesses, they were allowed to leave the capital and return home.

On the way to the city gate, an escort came quickly to Zhou Zheng's side. He turned to the left and said in a low voice, "Leader, someone is following us."

Zhou Zheng remained calm and continued, "I saw them. Don't look at them, just head for the city gates. His Royal Highness said that he would send people to meet them outside the city."

The escort looked worried: "What if..." Your Highness is lying to us, what should we do? "

Zhou Zheng sighed softly. "As things are, do we have any other choices? We can only go along the same path. I hope we did not trust the wrong person."

The escort nodded his head helplessly. They walked very fast and arrived at the city gate in half the time it took for them to. The soldiers guarding the city gate let them out after a brief inspection.

Within the Glazed Workshop, a middle-aged man came to a small building in the backyard. He cupped his hands towards a slender jade figure that was standing by the window and said, "Reporting to the young lady, they have already left the city."

Bi Ying turned around, it was Lu Yi. "Where are our people?"
