133 Chapter 133 Friend or Foe (2/2)
”Why? You executed your plan beautifully. Watching those two husband and wife fight and hurt each other is really amusing. I couldn't see that you had any trouble dealing with her.” Xing Wenhe asked in confusion.
”That's true but I planned to keep her alive for just two or three months. But she held out until her fifth month although she was weakened. Even the Gu's growth almost couldn't keep up. If she reached the ninth month but didn't give birth, then it would cause us a lot of trouble. I also couldn't help hasten the Gu's growth since she is knowledgeable about internal energy. I can tell that she is strong. Luckily she had no idea about Gu poisons despite her intelligence.”
”It only means that the heavens are on our side.”
”Luckily. But I'm rather curious about that mysterious assassin. Even though Lin Xulian is already weaker than she usually is, her brother Lin Rui is still around to protect her. It only means that the assassin is much stronger than the Lins.”
”You don't have to worry about them. Considering the Lin clan's line of work, it won't be surprising if they offended some powerful people. Even the Lin clan chose to hide despite the death of their mistress. They must've encountered someone they couldn't handle.” Xing Wenhe said mockingly.
”I hope so emperor brother. It would be problematic if they turn out to be another hindrance to our plans.”
Xing Wenhe answered with an amused laugh and said. ”Whichever it is, a friend or a foe, it doesn't matter. Aside from the people from the Qiangdu, no one is stronger than my beloved empress and her people. We'll just have to kill anyone who would dare to hinder our path.” Then he smiled coldly.
Xing Baihe agreed to her brother and also smiled coldly. The servants on the other hand cannot help but trembled from fear because of Emperor Xing Wenhe and Imperial Noble Concubine Xing's conversation. Who would have thought that they would have the chance to hear the Zhixiang country's plan to conquer their home country? But regardless about their knowledge of enemy's plan and knowing the empire's traitor, they can only shut their mouths to keep their own lives. They know too well that these people are not someone they could mess with.

Back in the eldest prince Xing Guang's manor, Lin Xulian tied up a letter on Fei's leg. It contains her message to her Lin clan, especially to her family.
'The enemy is the Zhixiang country's emperor and princess. Stay alert but don't engage in battle until I return.'
”Fei, deliver this to big brother Huang. Just return if you can't do it. Don't worry I'll wait for you.” But Fei replied her with an offended screech. Lin Xulian wasn't aware but Fei's race can find every Lin family member no matter how far they are.
