Chapter 212: 211 Cold Palace Abandoned Concubine (9) Third Watch of the Night

The ministers from the vassal state were completely dumbfounded. What was the Emperor talking about?

Yuwen Jing paid them no mind.

Following behind Yuwen Jing, Qu Huashang also furrowed her brows and looked towards Ye Shaohua, then sighed, "Sister Ye, why do you have to... What’s the point of all this?"

She seemed to find Ye Shaohua’s actions intolerable and shook her head in pity for the world. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

As the Royal Guard apprehended Ye Shaohua, several figures clad in black unexpectedly appeared in the heavily guarded Imperial Palace.

"Protect His Majesty, protect His Majesty!" The men in black appeared to be there to rescue Ye Shaohua, but when their leader’s dart failed to hit her, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.

After hesitating for a split second, he instead turned his attack towards Yuwen Jing.

The dart, silent as a whisper, struck Yuwen Jing’s right shoulder. He was prepared to endure it, but Ye Shaohua reached out and caught the dart for him.

Yuwen Jing saw the blood on her hands.

Of the assailants in black, three were left behind, and one fled.

On these three men, a token belonging to Ye Shaohua was discovered, a clumsy attempt at framing her.

Nevertheless, it was the best way to strike at the Ye Family.

"Imperial brother." While Yuwen Jing was still contemplating, he noticed a person clad in plain clothes sitting opposite him, seemingly having arrived unnoticed.

The person’s features were as serene as distant mountains, and the edge of his wide robe spilled slightly onto the table, tinged with hints of ink.

Seeing this person, Yuwen Jing’s pupils shrank, "Seventh brother? Haven’t you left the Palace yet?"

The Seventh Prince didn’t look at him, simply stating, "I had some personal matters, and incidentally, I took care of those three assassins for you. They are from Zhaixing Building."

"Assassin Pavilion?" Yuwen Jing’s expression changed, he might be a royal, but he had heard of the Assassin Pavilion’s reputation.

Whoever they were hired to kill, as long as the price was met, they would certainly succeed.

The Seventh Prince nodded, his gaze dropping coldly, "The master of these three is Solitary Star, the second-ranked assassin of Zhaixing Building."

"Solitary Star?" Upon hearing the phrase "ranked second," Yuwen Jing felt a cold sweat on his back; gripping his teacup, he tried to steady himself, but his fingers trembled, "How did you know?"

The Seventh Prince glanced at him, his voice somewhat indifferent, "I’m well acquainted with their Master."

Yuwen Jing had heard of the great reputation of Zhaixing Building even before he was the Prince, and he had dealt with them a few times, but he had never met their Master.

It was said that their Master was the top Expert in Jianghu with profound Internal Strength.

Yuwen Jing did not expect that the Seventh Prince would actually know the Master of Zhaixing Building. He knew that even if it was Yuwen Yun who had left the Imperial Palace, he should not be underestimated.

"The Ye Family has always been loyal," the Seventh Prince glanced at Yuwen Jing, "I don’t think the mastermind behind this is Lady Ye. You should investigate this thoroughly."

Having said that, he promptly left.
