The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

Seeing this, Qin Rubing quickly summoned "Xiao Yu".

She whispered in her mind, "Xiaoyu, activate the illusion technique and set the speed to 0.25 times the speed."

"Yes, Master."

In an instant, everything around seemed to be slowed down.

The originally fast-flowing wind became slow, and the petals flying in the wind slowly fell down as if dancing in the air.

The hurried footsteps of everyone around now looked like slow motion in a movie, and every step seemed particularly heavy and slow.

Even the cheerful singing of the birds on the branches turned into a melodious and lingering melody, lingering in the air for a long time.

The entire surrounding environment was completely caught in a strange slow-motion mode.

Qin Rubing stood in the smoke, but her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the heavy fog, accurately and sharply locking onto the female assassin's every move.

Although the smoke around was so thick that people could hardly see what was ahead, it seemed to have no effect on Qin Rubing.

The female assassin was seen with a nimble figure, moving through the smoke like a ghost. The dagger in her hand flashed with cold light, and every swing carried a deadly threat.

However, Qin Rubing was not intimidated by the opponent's momentum. She snorted coldly and attacked instantly.

A strong wind whistled out, like lightning across the night sky. Qin Rubing's speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the female assassin.

She swung out her palm violently, with the wind from her palm being extremely sharp, and it went straight towards the female assassin's face.

The female assassin was horrified and it was too late for her to dodge.

There was a muffled "bang" sound, and the female assassin suddenly felt a huge force coming at her. Her eyes went dark, and she lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

"Xiaoyu, get back to normal."

"Yes, Master."

Just as the thick white fog gradually dissipated, everyone's vision finally became clear.

They opened their eyes wide, surprised to find that the mysterious female assassin fainted on the cold ground without any warning!

Her originally agile and nimble figure now became limp and weak, like a withered flower that had lost its vitality.

No one knew what was going on, nor what caused this extraordinary female assassin to suddenly find herself in such a situation.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely tense and weird.

All I heard was a roar: "Come here! Quickly take this assassin to the prison and torture him severely. You must find out who is behind this!"

The East Emperor's loud, bell-like voice suddenly rang out, echoing in the huge palace, making people tremble with fear.

Before he finished speaking, several imperial guards rushed into the hall as fast as lightning. They were dressed in golden armor, holding sharp blades, and looked very majestic.

Two of them quickly walked up to the restrained female assassin, grabbed her arms mercilessly, twisted them hard, and dragged her up.

The female assassin was petite, but her face was very resolute. Even though she was imprisoned, she showed no fear. However, facing these well-trained and strong imperial guards, she was ultimately powerless to resist and could only allow herself to be taken away.

As the guards walked away, Emperor Dong's gaze always followed their departing figures, with a mixture of anger and doubt flashing in his eyes.

He knew very well that this assassination was no accident and that there must be a huge conspiracy behind it. Finding the mastermind behind it became a top priority.

After Emperor Dong recovered, he glanced at Han Yijian.

"Everyone in the Prince's Mansion who has made contributions in protecting the emperor will be rewarded."

Chu Tiancheng, Qin Rubing and all the followers in the Prince's Mansion knelt down to express their gratitude.

Who is the mastermind behind this?

Qin Rubing was racking her brains to think, when she suddenly felt a fierce gaze staring at her.

She looked up. Could it be her?
