After indicating Xia Yue to help her sit down in the chair, Mu Qian Xue looked at her extremely pale face and said: "Have you not rested for a few days?"

"I can handle it." Both of Shi Jiu's hands trembled as she received the tea from Xia Yue. Before she could even bring it to her lips, a third of it had already been spilled on his hands; ever since Dong Fang Su's assassination, she had been tracking the traces of the assassin non-stop, day and night. Only when she couldn't take it anymore did she take a short nap, but at most not more than four hours.

"I understand that you want to catch the assassin of the King Rui as soon as possible. I am also one as well, but why should a person who can't even take care of himself help others?"

"That's right. You've exhausted yourself, how are you going to track down the culprit?" Xia Yue also helped to persuade her. Normally, she and Shi Jiu were the ones who did not get along well, as the two of them would get into conflict over a small matter.

"If I can't catch the assassin, I won't be able to rest in peace for a day." Shi Jiu had secretly visited Dong Fang Su before, and when she thought about how the latter had almost died under the arrows of the Tung Ling's assassins, she was extremely anxious. This time, the group of Tung Ling assassins were only there to stir trouble, they did not try to kill Dong Fang Su, but the next time, what about the next time?

Perhaps she was worrying over nothing, but she really did not dare entrust Dong Fang Su's safety to the unknown tomorrow. The only way for her to be at ease was to catch that group of people as soon as possible, uncover the masterminds, and eliminate the hidden dangers.

Mu Qian Xue looked at her silently. After a long while, she said: "I understand, go and tell me the information you have gathered and the movements of the various dukes every four hours. Also, continue to watch over Yi Cui Shu. She lowered her head and walked a few steps, then continued: "Wang Liang is also being watched closely, this time he has come out, although he asked Jing Yu for an excuse, but he might not be able to hide it from him, if the other party discovers that he is from the Emperor Zhou, I'm afraid they will target him."

"Alright." After a simple reply, Shi Jiu propped up his body that had recovered a bit and walked out. Just as she was about to step out of the doorstep, she suddenly stopped and turned her head, saying: "Perhaps what you said is correct."

A gust of night wind mixed with rain blew past, and Shi Jiu's trace had already disappeared from the doorway, causing him to not even have the chance to ask. He could only ask Mu Qian Xue this after she closed the door, "Princess, what did she mean by that last sentence?"

"She has already begun to realize the danger that the Jinling is hiding under this calm surface. With just the King Rui alone, even if she holds the Camping in her hands, it would still be very difficult to survive, not to mention …" Mu Qian Xue rubbed her temple, which was continuously filled with piercing pain, and said, "The current danger is only the tip of the iceberg."

Xia Yue said in a shocked voice, "Princess is saying … There will be more trouble in the future? "

Mu Qian Xue stopped what shshewas doing, and silently listened to the more and more intense sounds of rain outside, "Other than the Emperor Zhou and the Weiss family, those Prince s are also not easy to deal with. From the moment she had taken charge of the Camping, he had been destined to be in danger, and could not stay out of this, unless... He can walk to the end of Chengde Hall. "

"The end of Chengde Hall?" Xia Yue did not react in time, when she understood the meaning of Mu Qian Xue's words, her round face was shrouded in shock, her hair almost stood on end, she swallowed her saliva and carefully said: "Princess, what do you think? She wanted to … Support the King Rui to succeed the throne? "

"Isn't that good?"

"It's not that it's bad, it's just that..." Xia Yue tried her best to organize her thoughts, "Although King Rui is upright and righteous, he is not only a direct descendant, he also doesn't have any influence in the imperial court. Forgive me for being blunt, but even if Emperor Zhou abdicates, Chengde Hall will not be able to take his place."

"But …" Mu Qian Xue looked at the candlelight that flickered on the table and slowly said: "If you want to protect King Rui, all is well. If you want to restore Nanzhao, there is only this one road, no matter how difficult it is, you have to give it a try."

The rain poured down in torrents, enveloping the entire Jinling. On the streets, some of the men wearing raincoats knocked on the doors a few times, and then rushed home in the rain. Even though they tried their best to open the raincoats, the rain still poured in from the wild boar leather shoes, and every step was as if they were barefoot in the water.

In a certain courtyard house in Jinling, a figure holding an oil-paper umbrella arrived in front of a small house in the backyard that was emitting a weak light.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk!" After a series of knocks, the door opened a crack without a sound. The person put away the umbrella and entered through the side door.

"Why did you leave?" An exceptionally dim light shone, and a petite figure sat on the side of the table. Her facial features were exquisite and small, and if Dong Fang Su was here, he would definitely recognize that this was the Tung Ling woman who blocked their path.

The man lowered his dripping umbrella, walked to the side of the Tung Ling lady and sat down, and said solemnly: "He invited Wang Liang here, then took out the corpse and the Tung Ling Blade, I have no choice but to withdraw."

The woman stared at him for a moment and said coldly, "So you intend to give up the plan?"

That person said coldly, "Of course not, Dong Fang Hui has joined forces with the Weiss family to seize my throne. I will not stop until I expel this despicable person from the Chengde Hall!" After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Even though Yi Cui Shu can't move at the moment, don't you think that Wang Liang is a better target?"

The woman looked surprised. "What do you mean?"

"This time, although Wang Liang has broken through the encirclement of the Yi Cui Shu, it also exposed that he is the same as Wei Jing Cheng, both are dogs of Dong Fang Hui. If he were to die, and Jing Yu happens to disappear at this time, what do you think the people would think?"

"You think Jing Yu killed Wang Liang?"

"What if Wang Liang is still injured?"

"What are you trying to say?" The woman's thin, long, and shapely eyebrows creased. For a moment, she couldn't figure out what his intentions were.

The corner of the man's mouth curled and an ice-cold smile appeared on his handsome face, "They will think that the reason Wang Liang went to the Yi Cui Shu was because he was threatened by Jing Yu. As a result, that corpse and the Tung Ling Blade would no longer be evidence, and everyone's eyes would once again be focused on the Yi Cui Shu … Hmph, I want to see how Dong Fang Hui will resolve this situation then! "

The woman said with a smile that was not a smile: "As far as I know, this Wang Liang has taught you before. Are you really planning to kill him?"

"From the moment he followed Dong Fang Hui, he has already been a dead man. This is a path he chose himself, don't blame me."

"I remember your Northern Week has a saying, 'One day as a teacher, one life as a father'. This Prince's heart is truly ruthless."

"Could it be that Miss Ben Ying wishes for this king to be merciful to Wang Liang?"

"Of course not, but I am truly worried, one day, will Prince treat us the same way?"
