Lian Qing's unpredictable fate forced S70 to change his plans. No one knew what the consequences of a single, unforeseen mistake would be, especially since he had previously fallen at the hands of the natives of the mission world he most despised.

However, if he took action, he would be discovered by the laws of the world; and Chen Fusi avoided the topic and talked about other things, being too concerned about his face and wasting time.

So, the best way is to choose a partner.

However, this partner needs to be extremely ambitious, ruthless, and capable of killing people without hesitation, without regard for others, and yet still be under his control!

This candidate...

The S70 already has a goal.

"Do you want supreme power? Do you want to trample all those who look down on you under your feet? Do you want to control everything in your own hands? As long as you cooperate with me, you will get everything: power, wealth, prestige, status, and beauty. Whatever you want, I can give it to you!"

Chen Ze was dreaming, and in his dream he realized his ambition.

He achieved that supreme position.

However, just as he was about to sit on it, his dream was shattered and everything returned to the starting point. He was still the person with nothing, mocked and looked down upon by others.

And at this moment, a voice sounded in his ears, a voice full of temptation and desire.

He was gradually attracted by the voice.

He heard himself answer.

"I want it! I want it all!"

"Then, happy cooperation!"

Zhenyuan Palace

"I heard that you were assassinated yesterday? Are you okay?"

Because Qi Zhen had something to deal with yesterday, he was not at home, but he did not expect that such a thing would happen just after he left for one day.

"It's okay." Qi Congyuan observed the arrow in his hand, "Those people are not targeting me."

"Is it Lian Qing?" Qi Zhen remembered that Qi Congyuan went to see the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday.

"Yes." Qi Congyuan handed the arrow in his hand to Qi Zhen. He had picked it up from the ground when he left yesterday. It was used by those men in black. "Father, have you seen arrows of this style?"

"Let me see." Qi Zhen took it and examined it carefully. "This... looks very much like what the military uses, but... there's also this indescribable feeling. It feels very familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on why."

"Is it possible that it's an improvement on the arrows used in the army?" Qi Congyuan gestured for Qi Zhen to take a closer look. "Look here, with this modification, it seems to have increased its lethality."

"what do you mean……"

"Someone in Kyoto is secretly stockpiling troops!" Qi Congyuan said, "What I can't understand is why this person attacked Xiaoqing? But why didn't he kill her? And why did he suddenly retreat when the opportunity was most favorable?"

It was obvious that if they continued at that time, he and the two men in the Prime Minister's Mansion might not be able to hold on, but the men in black retreated.

It's like they're on a mission.

Once completed, you can retire.

But what tasks can be accomplished?

"Maybe they're just testing the waters?" Qi Zhen guessed. "So much has happened recently. Maybe someone wants to test the strength of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"If that's the case, then it can only be..."

"No." Qi Zhen knew what Qi Congyuan wanted to say, but it was absolutely impossible.

He knew Chen Fusi.

Chen Fusi is a person who cares a lot about his reputation. He would not do such a thing to damage his reputation.

"Who could that be?"

"It's useless to talk about this now. Let's think about how to deal with His Majesty." Qi Zhen finally remembered why he came here. "His Majesty heard about what happened yesterday and he asked you to enter the palace."

"us?"

"You and Lian Qing."

-

"Let me enter the palace?" Su Ruanluo didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She was still thinking about how to enter the palace, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come like this!

It’s really thanks to S70 that this happened.

Let her plan go ahead.

"It's okay, your father is with you." Lian Luosang thought Su Ruanluo was afraid. "With your father here, I don't think anyone would dare to embarrass you! Besides, it was you who was assassinated. Can His Majesty really blame you? Besides, the Crown Prince is here."

"The Crown Prince of Zhenyuan was assassinated in Kyoto. If we don't give an explanation, the people of Chenzhou will not easily agree!"

"My daughter is not afraid." Su Ruanluo said, "I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect His Majesty to care about this matter."

"This concerns his reputation, how could he possibly ignore it?" Lian Luosang knew the reason very well. "After all, we are the victims, so we are right."

"Father has a point."

Royal Palace

"Hey, are you all here?"

As soon as I heard the tone of voice, I knew who it was.

"What's going on? Why are you all here?"

"Is the second brother pretending to be stupid? The matter has become so serious, but you don't even know about it?" The Sixth Prince Chen Shu looked at Chen Xi with some suspicion.

"I don't know what happened." Chen Xi shrugged, looking innocent. "Why, did something really happen?"

"The Crown Prince of Zhenyuan and the Third Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion were assassinated in public yesterday," the eldest prince Chen Xin explained. "Second brother, you really didn't know about such a serious matter?"

Chen Xin didn't expect that the timing would be so coincidental.

At that time, Ye Yan happened to arrive and saw the whole process. If he had not been afraid of exposing their relationship, Ye Yan would have joined in the fight long ago.

However, those people were really bold enough to carry out the assassination in public without fear of being caught.

But, it's really strange.

Such a big thing happened yesterday, and the Pacification Office didn't even send anyone? It was only thanks to Qi Congyuan and the Prime Minister's guards that they escaped.

However, this also exposed Qi Congyuan.

"Ah?" Chen Xi really didn't know about this.

Ever since his last "heart-to-heart talk" with Su Ruanluo (one-sided on Chen Xi's part), he had really made his thoughts clear to Xia Ziyuan (the Imperial Concubine, Chen Xi's mother).

Then, he was put in solitary confinement by Xia Ziyuan.

He said when he changed his mind, thought everything through, and when he would come out of the Second Prince's Mansion.

So, he really has no idea what is happening in the outside world.

If Chen Fusi had not required all princes and princesses to be present today, he would probably still be locked up in the Second Prince's Mansion and unable to get out.

"Brother, I'm afraid you forgot. Last time, I had a fight with Mother, and Mother was so angry that she locked me up in the mansion and wouldn't let me out." Chen Xi touched the tip of his nose as if a little embarrassed. "So, I really don't know what's happening in the outside world."

"Second brother should explain this to father." The fourth prince Chen Shu curled his lips, obviously not believing Chen Xi's words, "It depends on whether father believes it or not."

Chen Ze, who stood aside without saying a word, was the most nervous one among all.

Those are all his people!

If the emperor really finds out anything, he'll be finished!

Don't let him catch the man who's taking advantage of him!

He must cut that man into pieces!
