"Yawn!" The cold air from the air conditioner blew on Xu Zhao, making him so cold that he couldn't help but sneeze.

She closed the window again, changed out of her props team anchor costume, and went into the bathroom to take a hot bath.

In the bathroom, her figure was looming in the hazy mist. She was immersed in the warm hot water, her eyes slightly closed, and the expression on her face was relaxed and satisfied.

When people relax, their thoughts become more active.

Before the incident, the assassin seemed to have mentioned Prince Anding and the young lady.

Then the young lady he mentioned should be the daughter of a powerful person. She wanted to kill me because she had a crush on Shen Yu?

But this young lady from an official family is so arrogant that she even dares to take action in the temple and is not afraid of punishment from God!

It’s so outrageous that he opened the door for outrageousness, it’s so outrageous!

Isn’t this a routine only found in old novels?

Are these ancient ladies all love-brained?

This young lady from an official family is not a good person as she disregards other people's lives and kills them at will. And her powerful father is probably also a corrupt official. This family should be confiscated and beheaded to prevent them from greedily taking advantage of the people's wealth and exploiting them.

The most infuriating thing is that she wasted her chance to travel through time, and she doesn’t know when the next time will be!

When Xu Zhao thought about how she and Shen Yu hadn't even spent a proper New Year together, she stamped her feet in anger.

It really pisses me off!

Shen Yu was also angry. He followed Shen Lingge all the way, looking for Xu Zhao's whereabouts.

Because Xu Zhao was in a panic along the way, and in order to lure the assassin away, she deliberately left clear footprints on the ground.

This made it easy for the assassins following Xu Zhao to find her whereabouts, and also allowed Shen Yu and others to discover the direction of her escape at the first time.

It’s a pity that Shen Yu and the others arrived a step too late.

The two men hid in the dark and saw several assassins in black standing on the edge of the cliff. It seemed that these people were chasing them.

Seeing the assassin's actions and seeing no sign of Xu Zhao on the cliff, Shen Lingge was afraid that she had been killed.

Shen Lingge, with his eyes red with rage, wanted to rush forward and kill all of them without hesitation, even though he was unarmed.

Shen Yu stopped him to avoid alerting the enemy.

"Uncle, why are you stopping me? Don't you want to avenge Sister Zhaozhao?" Shen Lingge clenched his fists, as if he was ready to rush forward and fight at any time.

"I want this more than anyone else!" Veins bulged on the back of Shen Yu's hand as he pulled Shen Lingge. His face was filled with anger, his eyes like cold knives, and his voice was filled with the aura of impending storms. "Zhaoxi may have returned to her own world now, but I will not let any of those who hurt her, and those behind her, go!"

With an arrow piercing her heart and falling off a cliff, even a great immortal might not be able to save her. The leading assassin walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. It was bottomless and there was no trace of the woman among the steep cliffs. It seemed that she had indeed fallen off the cliff.

"Mission accomplished, retreat, go back and report to the young lady."

The group of five put away their weapons and left quickly.

"Let's follow them." Shen Yu had good hearing and naturally heard the young lady mentioned by the assassin. "They are going to meet the person behind the scenes."

Shen Lingge immediately followed, furious, "I want to see who wants to harm Sister Zhaozhao!"

After the five assassins came down the mountain, they went their separate ways. Four of them took a shortcut out of the temple, while the leader looked around all the way and entered the wing of Baoguo Temple prepared for female pilgrims after making sure that there was no one nearby.

"Uncle, it shouldn't be the imperial concubine," Shen Lingge said first, standing at the door of the women's guest room area.

Shen Yu's eyes turned cold and he said, "I know."

Knowing that Qinghe and Chaoxi have a good relationship, it is impossible for the imperial concubine to kill her in front of Qinghe.

What's more, if the imperial concubine wanted to kill someone, the killers she sent would only be secret guards or death squads.

After confirming that the Emperor's uncle had no suspicions about the Imperial Concubine, Shen Lingge breathed a sigh of relief. Looking up again, he saw the assassin leader quickly entering a wing room. "Let's follow him."

After determining which room the assassin entered, Shen Yu calmly pulled Shen Lingge back to their own room.

The first thing he did after returning to the room was to send someone to find out who lived there. He also ordered the secret guards to capture all the assassins and torture them to get a confession.

The secret guard moved quickly and returned in a moment to report, "Master, the person living in that wing is Su Luoluo, the second daughter of the Minister of Rites, and also the younger sister of the Imperial Concubine Shu."

Su Luoluo?

The two had just returned to the imperial city, a name Shen Yu and Shen Lingge had never heard of before.

"Why would she send someone to kill Chaoxi?" Shen Yu was puzzled as the two people had nothing to do with each other.

"Perhaps it's because of the prince," the secret guard lowered his head and told what he had found out. "I heard that Miss Su met the prince on the day he returned from his expedition and fell in love with him at first sight. She vowed that she would not marry anyone else but him."

The secret guard's voice was neither loud nor soft, but loud enough for both of them to hear.

No wonder, Shen Lingge looked at the emperor's uncle in surprise. "No wonder she knew it was Sister Zhaozhao. I'm afraid it was because she saw the emperor's uncle and Sister Zhaozhao being intimate at the New Year's Eve banquet that she had evil intentions."

"Uncle, those assassins have been apprehended. If they are severely tortured, they will surely reveal the mastermind behind the incident. We will then present the evidence of Second Miss Su's crimes to Father. I will have him punish her and avenge Sister Zhaozhao."

After saying that, Shen Lingge slammed the table and stood up, ready to do it himself. Before he even walked out of the door of the wing room, Shen Yu called out to him, "Qinghe, don't be impulsive!"

The secret guard standing by the door reached out to stop Shen Lingge.

Shen Lingge turned back with anger, not necessarily towards Shen Yu, but said in a bad tone, "Uncle, why are you stopping me?"

"The Minister of Rites is a second-rank official. Without substantial evidence, His Majesty would not harm his daughter for an ordinary citizen. Moreover, Chaoxi has no body, so we cannot prove she is dead."

Without a body, there is no way to know whether the person is dead or not, so there is no point in reporting to the police.

If you meet a kind-hearted constable, he may help you search at the bottom of the cliff. If you meet an irresponsible one, you will probably end up falling off the cliff.

He added, "Besides, the words of a few assassins cannot be taken seriously. They can just casually say that someone can be wrongly accused and immediately get away with it, so there must be crucial evidence."

After Shen Yu's analysis, Shen Lingge realized that he was a little emotional and too rash.

"Then what should we do?"

"Since you've bullied Zhaoxi, you must be prepared for my revenge." Shen Yu glanced at the secret guard, who immediately understood what he meant and bowed, clasping his fists. "Please give your orders, Your Highness."

"Go and investigate whether the Minister of Rites has committed corruption or bribery." Since Su Luoluo is using her family background to do evil, he will destroy everything she is proud of!
