"That's not all."

"There's something else I don't know?"

“Zhou Yuanheng did send people to assassinate me, but only that time at Tingzhi Water Pavilion. The assassination attempt in the south was not his doing.”

Chen Zhi frowned.

Upon further reflection, the key point became clear:

Could it be that...

The person who went south to take Zhou Xuance's life was actually...

That one?!

If that's the case, Zhou Xuance pinned the assassination attempt on the Third Prince, making the Third Prince the scapegoat. To nip the matter in the bud, prevent further investigation, and catch the mastermind, the Third Prince must be dealt with as soon as possible.

That's truly decisive and ruthless.

Knowing the truth, the Empress would naturally want to kill him.

No wonder he questioned the Emperor: was the assassination attempt in the south really carried out by the Third Prince?

After Shen Zhiyi understood the whole matter, she looked at Zhou Xuance and asked, "Could it be that when you made a move against the Third Prince, you thought about what would happen today?"

"Yiyi, I told you I would become your weapon..."

There are some people and some things that you shouldn't do.

"I'll do it for you."

His voice was gentle, yet it made Shen Zhiyi's heart tremble violently.

"What...do you know?"

Zhou Xuance did not answer his question directly, but only said, "Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you or the Shen family."

He didn't say it explicitly, but Shen Zhi's meaning was clear:

he,

They know everything.

Every step was meticulously planned and executed, leaving no room for error.

No wonder some people say he was incredibly talented, but unfortunately, the heavens are jealous of talent. If what I just dreamed of was really his past life, then his previous life must have been too tragic.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhou Xuance asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, get some rest," Shen Zhiyi said casually.

This only fueled someone's interest even more. "I thought I was the only one looking forward to it, but I didn't expect my wife to be even more eager than I am..."
