"Indeed, you've worked hard before." Su Qian Xing smirked as he closed the file. It was something that Xiao Qing Qing had previously given Han Bing, a copy of the evidence that he had secretly interacted with the fourth prince of the Jin Country. He reached out and took the sword into his hands, "You should go back to your own life. Let's go."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The man in black turned to leave, but before he could even take a step, his pupils constricted. With a stuffy snort, he lowered his head and saw a sword stuck in his chest. With an expression of disbelief, he turned his head, "Su Qianxing, you …"

Su Qianxing looked at him coldly without a hint of emotion on his face, "Blame it on knowing too much. I do not wish for such a person to exist in this world. After all … Only the dead can keep secrets. "

'Bang! ' The man's body collapsed, and the sound of his fall alarmed the people outside.

"Mistress?"

Su Qianxing took out a handkerchief and wiped away the blood on his palms, "Qingshui, clean him up. Also, do the people he sent to assassinate Han Bing know what to do?"

"Mistress, don't worry. I will bring some people to get to know them."

"Very good." Su Qian Xing's eyes flashed sinisterly as he looked at the corpse on the ground without feeling any guilt.

As long as he could reach the final position, he didn't care how many corpses he stepped on.

Within the Prime Minister's Estate.

"Li Er, have you finished the matter that I asked you to do last time?"

"Don't worry Miss, everything has been completed and all the information has been handed over to Sir Han. However, this prince's collaboration with the enemy isn't a small matter. Sir Han will wait until the evidence is complete before acting." Riko stood by the side with a fruit tray in her hand. "Miss, what happened to you these past two days? Why do I feel so uneasy? "

"Nothing, just that my eyelids have been jumping for the past two days, I feel a little …" Xiao Qingyi sat on the swing and shook her head to prevent herself from thinking too much: "How is it going at the Residence of Duke of Han?"

"Miss, if you are worried about the prince, why don't you go back and take a look?" "The princess of the Jin Kingdom is currently residing in the prince's mansion, and ever since the young miss returned, she has not gone to see the prince. In such a long time, the young miss is not afraid of the prince being pestered by the princess."

"It is precisely because that woman is in the prince's mansion that I am unwilling to go over, so as to avoid getting angry for no reason." Xiao Qingyi pursed her lips and put on an indifferent attitude: "What's more, that man has been so busy lately. A woman is more than enough for him. If there was another one, I'm afraid his body wouldn't be able to take it."

Riko was taken aback for a moment before she finally understood the hidden meaning behind those words. She chuckled and said, "Miss said that you're not jealous. The taste of vinegar in those words just now is not small at all."

"I don't have any, so don't talk nonsense."

"Actually, Miss doesn't need to do this. Didn't you say that you were not willing to do this?"

Sometimes, one had to admit that the young miss was very bold, and an average person wouldn't dare to do such a thing. After all, it was impossible to disobey the emperor's orders, and even if the king didn't agree, there was nothing he could do about it.

"Although I don't want to, this is the best way. Su Qianxing bet that I would stop him, but I just followed his instructions. As for the result, hehe …" "Anyway, the one who will go to Zhao Jin and tell her later is not us."

"You're right …"

"Miss!" As the master and servant were talking, a sudden gust of wind blew in from outside, and under the mask, a serious look appeared.

"Sudden wind? "Why are you here?" Xiao Qingyi frowned: "What happened?"

"Last night, an assassin snuck into Han Bing Han's residence. Sir Han received heavy injuries and is on the verge of death."

"What did you say?!"

"I let Liu Suifeng pass, but the news that came was not good. An hour ago, I received news that there was a riot in a few of the military camps stationed outside the capital. General Xiao Jin Qing was captured alive."

Xiao Qing's body stiffened as her mind flashed back to Su Qianxing's departure that day and his last sentence. He had said, 'Fortunately, it's not too late'.

"Damn it!" Xiao Qingran cursed under her breath as she quickly jumped down from the swing and walked out in large strides. "Li Er, go get your father, go to the Residence of Duke Han!"

"Yes sir!"

The news spread very quickly. In less than two hours, it had already spread throughout the entire capital. Everyone was panicking. The news had come so suddenly that it had almost caught everyone off guard.

"What's the situation now?" Su Qian Han and a few others were gathered around the desk, discussing about the situation in the capital.

Kuangfeng came in and cupped his fists to report on the situation outside, "Master, they have sent eight thousand men to surround the capital. The basic battle formation is complete, and the defensive perimeter of the capital has been set up. But Your Majesty …"

"You don't need to bring the message to the palace, we'll talk about it when it's too late." Xiao Qing Ran looked at Su Qian Han and made the decision for him: "Also, the palace must be the last line of defense. Now that the citizens in the capital know of this news, they should have already hidden themselves or gone into seclusion. "Also, find someone to keep an eye on Zhao Jin. If he dares to do anything rash, find someone to suppress him."

Xiao Qing Ran paused for a moment as her eyes turned cold, "Remember, Jin Nation's envoys cannot stay outside. Before we speak, do not listen to anyone's orders. You must watch them until they are dead!"

"Yes, your subordinate will go now."

Feng Jing Jing frowned and looked up: "Where did you say that just now? "Ran Er, why are you so sure that those people won't dare to rush in for a while?"

"I understand Su Qian Xing. His quick actions means that he has been forced into a corner and with his personality, it is impossible for him to do something so rebellious. But now, it seems that he has no other choice but to …"

"It can only mean that something happened to Han Bing." Su Qianhan interjected, "I've already sent people to the Han house, and Han Bing is fine, but it will probably be a long time before he wakes up. Most importantly, I heard from his wife that he's been investigating some big cases recently, and it's said to be a very secret thing. Even his wife doesn't know what he's doing."

"The evidence of Su Qian Xing's mother's and son's treason?" Feng Jing Xing frowned and said solemnly, "It seems that this is the only thing Su Qian Xing can do."

Xiao Qing Qing nodded her head, "I've already asked Ri-er to take a look. I can't find all the information I gave him, and there's only one possibility for Su Qianxing to suddenly send someone to assassinate Han Bing, which is that the evidence I found out about him was alerted by Su Qianxing, which is why he tried to kill Han Bing. But he didn't expect that apart from the information I gave him, this dutiful Lord Han was also trying to find evidence in private."

"Looks like Han Bing hid something very important. Otherwise, Su Qian Xing wouldn't have been so ruthless." Feng Ximing's brows furrowed. "He took a huge risk just by doing this."

Even if he could win this battle and become emperor, that would still be unfair, so what did Han Bing find out?

"Let's put these aside first. Since Su Qian Xing purposely got people to release the news and cause panic among the people in the capital, it means that he has other things to do." Xiao Qingran squinted her eyes dangerously: "It's just that what is he trying to do? If he were to kill the monarch and kill his father, would he have invaded right now? "

Su Qianhan frowned as his eyes fell on the simple map of the capital. Suddenly, a thought flashed across his mind, "I'm sleepy!"

"Tired?" Xiao Qing was confused.

"Although they have a lot of people, they only have a lot of people in terms of real military power. Simply speaking, the number of people in the capital is several times higher than them. He is afraid that if they really fight, the civilians will resist and their advantage will become disadvantage."

"So Su Qian Xing intends to trap us?" Xiao Qing suddenly frowned, "But this method is too time-consuming. Although there are many people in the capital, the food is not good either. If he is outside, we can last for at least three months.

Su Qianhan shook his head and said, "No, he doesn't need to wait for three months. At most three days will do."

"Three days? "Why do you say that?"

Su Qianhan pursed his lips to the side as he glanced at Feng Jing, who immediately revealed an expression of enlightenment. "Human heart, he wants to control the human heart!"

Regardless of whether it was because he intentionally spread the news of the 'siege' earlier or because he had yet to make a move, this was all a ploy. Su Qian Xing wanted to make the citizens of the capital panic, and in the long process of waiting for death, the people's hearts would become more and more unfocused.

When the time came, the people in the capital would be the first to fall into disarray. When the time came to attack, it would save more time and effort. Now that they were about to attack, perhaps everyone would fight back with the thought of fighting to the death.

Xiao Qingran quickly reacted, and as she did, she thought of something else as well: "Crap, inside the Imperial Palace!"

It was almost too late when the storm was ordered to send its men.

It had to be said that Su Qian Xing understood them very well. He knew that Su Qian Han's first reaction after what had happened was to think of a way to protect the person in the palace without giving any information.

He took advantage of this point to make his palace's mufei make a move on Soo He. By the time the wind rushed in, those people had already taken Su He and were forcing him to write the imperial edict.

It was fortunate that Xiao Qing's reaction was quick. She was unable to write down the edict, but there was no way to hide this matter.

On this day, a huge dark cloud covered the sky above the capital city. The weather was extremely gloomy, as if it was about to rain.

Xiao Qing knew that after seven years, this might be their last battle.
