Since she already helped Xu Jing Xin frame the Empress, she knew that even if Empress Wei would not be thrown in the Cold Place, Xu Ji Mo would still make her pay. XuanRong was only waiting for the Empress' downfall before she would start her own plan. Her plan was to a.s.sa.s.sinate Long Hao Chen and pin the blame on Xu Ji Mo's head, sowing discord between Qian Zou and Jing Country. who would have thought that her plan would be wasted because someone moved before her?

--------

Xu Fei Yi was currently behind Mu Qing. Although Mu Qing already knew that everything was ordered by Xu Fei Yi, he still had to pretend that he did not know everything. After finding out Xu Fei Yi's true self, Mu Qing did not hesitate to accept the truth. No matter what Xu Fei Yi did, he, Mu Qing, would forever swear his loyalty towards His Highness.

Everything was good. A little bit more and they would succeed. Unfortunately, another group of a.s.sa.s.sins arrived.

Mu Qing could not help but turn his head towards Xu Fei Yi, wanting to see his expression. In Contrast to Mu Qing's expectation, Xu Fei Yi did not show anything. His facial expression was still full of fear while clutching his clothes. If not for the fleeting flash inside Xu Fei Yi's eyes, Mu Qing would not know that he was angry.

Even though Xu Fei Yi was shaking behind Mu Qing, his eyes were cold. He had to lower his head to hide his emotion. When Xu Fei Yi clearly saw the a.s.sa.s.sin leading the group, his pupil narrowed. Although the one who was leading the other group was wearing a black mask, Xu Fei Yi could recognize him. It was XuanRong's shadow guard, An Wei.

Xu Fei Yi turned his head and saw XuanRong exhaled while staring at An Wei. His eyes darkened due to jealousy but it did not hinder him to think deeply.

If he was not wrong, XuanRong was also planning to do something. He did not expect that she would be brazen enough to plot something inside the palace.

Since Xu Fei Yi realized that he must have destroyed XuanRong's plan, he could not help but touch his nose. He sighed. He had no choice but to abandon his plan.

Xu Fei Yi and the leader of the a.s.sa.s.sins crossed eyes. When the leader of the a.s.sa.s.sins saw Xu Fei Yi's signal, he suddenly felt that he was saved. He jumped away from Chen Zi Tao and shouted, "Retreat!!!" before vanis.h.i.+ng away in the darkness.

When XuanRong saw the retreating figure of the a.s.sa.s.sins, she could not help but raise her eyebrows.

'Something is not right.'
