Within the Prince of Yong’s residence’s Cold Courtyard, I had a brocade gown draped overflowers had already blosso the entire courtyard refined and exquisite After rising fro sun, Xiaoshunzi orried that I would catch a cold and insisted that I drape a brocade gown oversun and the reddish clouds, there was only onemy silence, Xiaoshunzi had already dis area Walking close tohness, the Prince of Yong, said?”

I responded with a soft sigh, “Xiaoshunzi, tell le really interested in hed gently and replied, “Youngwo books or appreciating beautiful scenery In the situation between you and the late mistress, it was the hness’s tenified and pure, and she has never revealed her true feelings It is no surprise that young master does not know this Fros for you, otherwise she would not surround herself on a daily basis with young master’s poetry I also believe that the Princess knows a bit about what happened in Southern Chu, and yet she has not informed anyone Moreover, were it not for the half a root’s worth of Ningpo figwort froo

“I would not believe it if the Princess did not have any affection for you However, the Princess probably has the sa to reveal her feelings Young master, don’t you also treat the Princess differently? All this, Xiaoshunzi has seen bit by bit However, you two are obstructed by the relationshi+p between liege and vassal, therefore neither of you have ever been willing to express your true feelings”

I placidly glanced at Xiaoshunzi and asked, “Are you bla to accept the Princess because of the harm it would do to my reputation?”

Xiaoshunzi fell silent and did not speak, clearly tacitly agreeing I sighed and stated, “How a Zhe, someone who cherishes s that absolutely cannot be done My responses to Qin Qing’s accusations did not contain a single shred of falsehood The status between the Princess andthis e because of this reason If I truly only had eyes for her, there is nothing that would stop me However, you le stateness to s towards me, she will absolutely not defy etiquette and rites This being the case, how can I follow the Prince of Yong’s intentions and propose? But if I were to do this, wouldn’t it besh there won’t be nity of the imperial clan, but the brush is merciless I do not want the Princess to leave behind a bad reputation in the histories What’sthe Princess a mere few times How can I knohether the Princess truly loves the entirety of my person?”

In a low voice, Xiaoshunzi replied, “Young master speaks the truth It is this servant who misunderstood”

I serenly replied, “These are only spoken from personal considerations If we consider this from an official viewpoint, I am a surrendered subject from Southern Chu What qualifications do I have to take the Princess as rees to my face, he’ll dispatch someone to haveEmperor allows the Princess to make her choice, he probably only wishes for the Princess to ’s elites Moreover, if I were to do such a thing right noould likely har How can I be someone who shi+rks official business for private considerations? Moreover, you more than anyone, knows the condition of my health If I were to meet with any misfortune, how could the Princess endure it?”

Xiaoshunzi did not le sound It was a so master will not spend the entirety of your life alone”

I shtly and replied, “When we have ensured the ascension of the Prince of Yong to the throne and avenged the o When the time comes, if my health improves, I will take a virtuous woman as reed, “Of course that’s good This servant can’t wait for there to be aht it through these last few days, thus not co softly and collapsing into the chair I asked, “That’s right, how is the situation outside?”

Xiaoshunzi revealed an odd look as he inquired, “Does young ood news or the bad news?”

“The bad news first,” I replied with a wry s major has occurred in the capital,” said Xiaoshunzi “At present, everyone is going to watch the fun and no one is paying attention to the Crown Prince’s activities”

My brows furrowed, as I asked, “What has happened to divert all of the attention away?”

Xiaoshunzi answered, “Thisht?”

I responded, “I rehter, Sha Zhijing is a disciple of the Fengyi Sect They are the biggest ’an”

Xiaoshunzi confiro, Sha Zhijing went to Xianyang² to visit her randruesomely No yi Sect, they had all trained in theTechnique’ This martial art had been personally created by Fan Huiyao and was based entirely on the supple flexibility of a woman’s body In close combat, it was completely unscrupulous and was used by the disciples when they faced a strong opponent who they could not escape from Even if they could defeat their opponent, the result would be mutual destruction If that was not capable, then the martial art would allow the disciple to co Wan feared injuring the Princess so did not dare to act blindly, thus not using this ’s death, both the Guanzhong Alliance and the Fengyi Sect are chasing after her killer As for the killer, he has continued to commit crimes Over the last dozen or so days, quite a few unbetrothed wo The killer, however, has left behind clues”

I said, “If that’s the case, based upon the power of the Fengyi Sect and the Guanzhong Alliance, this o”

Xiaoshunzi shook his head “Initially, as the Fengyi Sect’s main force had not yet arrived, this person wreaked havoc in the Xianyang area without any fear By the tiyi Sect’s manpower arrived, the criminal had already escaped without a trace”

I frowned and inquired, “How did this matter elicit the attention of the court ministers?”

Xiaoshunzi sns of being raped and their virginity taken Therefore, the hu all suspect that the Devil Sect has returned to the Central Plains That year when the Devil Sect Sovereign Jing Wuji withdrew north to the desert, the disciples of the Devil Sect followed Those who did not depart went into hiding One of the branches of the Devil Sect, the Pitying Fragrance Faction, specializes in taking woinities If the Devil Sect has reappeared, then it is likely that Jing Wuji may return to the Central Plains Now that he is the State Mentor of Northern Han, his return froe of launching a large-scale invasion If this is the case, how can the civil and military officials of the court not be concerned? Therefore, at present, no one re to the Embroidered Union”

I subconsciously fanned the folding fan in , “What do you think?”

Xiaoshunzi answered, “I don’t find it strange that there are some Devil Sect disciples who ree if they were not present Moreover, the moveh there have been rumors of their whereabouts these last several years, all of it seeroundless³ Therefore, I believe that the Fengyi Sect is using this as a pretext toaway everyone’s attention”

I sth has already attached itself to Northern Han Jing Wuji wishes to continue to co to compare martial arts It’s likely that victory or defeat between them will be based upon who can unify the world As soon as so happens to the Crown Prince, the Devil Sect appears What a coincidence! Since this is the case, I will join in on the fun Xiaoshunzi, do you knohat the Minister of Revenue, Liang Jinqian is doing right now?”

Xiaoshunzi answered, “He is currently atoning for his crience, the Crown Prince is preparing to take over his power Liang Jinqian has already been placed under house arrest”

I shtly and inquired, “Has Han Wuji settled the ?”

Xiaoshunzi sood news that I needed to infor has disappeared However, we left behind a fake corpse Trying to cover it up will only yi Sect and the Crown Prince are chasing after him However, he has disappeared without a trace The Secret Ca’s proof of identity”

“If that’s the case, then you go personally handle theJinqian Do not act physically; use poison If this happens then what do you think everyone will think?”

With an odd expression on his face, Xiaoshunzi replied, “Naturally it would be that the Crown Prince killed Liang Jinqian to silence hi master’s plan is truly vicious and ruthless”

“That is exactly my intention,” I stated with a smile “I have anotherwill not truly die Although he is physically dead, he still remains alive in the hearts and minds of the people That is his remuneration for the million taels of silver he helped ood nareed, “Do not worry, younginto the Crown Prince’s nightmare”

I warned him, “Be sure to be careful If your identity is exposed, then I will be in dire straits”

Xiaoshunzi gravely replied, “Do not worry If I am no match, I’ll just run I will definitely not allow them to capture me”
