The guard shivered, realizing he had angered Jun Feiran.

In recent years, Jun Feiran has rarely appeared in the public eye because of his daughter, and he has forgotten... the Ghost King's past achievements.

He kills without blinking an eye! He's known as a demon!

The guard broke out in a cold sweat and quickly knelt down: "That's not what I meant. It's just that this matter is quite complicated. Your Majesty is injured, and I can't let go of any suspicious person. However, since Jun Qing has been playing chess with Your Highness, he didn't have time to commit the crime. I was rash. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Forget it, if you have the time and energy, why don't you seal off the whole city? Does that assassin have wings or something?"

"Your Highness is right." The guard dared not disobey Jun Feiran's opinion.

"I apologize for disturbing Your Highness's rest. I will come to the Prince's residence to apologize after this matter is resolved."

"You made a mistake unintentionally. I won't be so petty. If there's nothing else, you can leave now."

Jun Feiran waved his hand; "The assassin has been captured. Remember to inform me."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The guards breathed a sigh of relief and bowed as they withdrew.

Jun Feiran instructed Lin Xuguang to prepare the horses.

Go to the palace.

Only Jun Feiran and Liu Yue remained at the waterside pavilion.

The sudden silence after the chaos of war seemed particularly abrupt.

Liu Yue took a sip of tea. "It's cold, it has no flavor."

"Aren't you going to explain this to me?"

Jun Feiran narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping over Jun Liuyue as if trying to bore a hole through her.

"The assassination attempt in the palace, is it related to you?"

Jun Feiran tried her best to calm her tone.

"Hmm." Liu Yue nodded, not intending to hide anything from Jun Feiran; "Didn't Your Highness already guess it? Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me to play chess in the middle of the night."

Her slender, long fingers pushed the black pieces. "Tsk, Your Highness, you've lost again."

Jun Feiran: ...

How did that brat know?

And that is indeed the case.

Although he had been in seclusion for many years as the Ghost King, he still had many spies in the capital and the palace.

So after Jun Feize was assassinated, his informants sent word.

At that time, he guessed that this matter was inseparable from Jun Liuyue.

So he sought out Jun Liuyue late at night to play chess.

Although it is unknown why Jun Liuyue assassinated her elder brother.

However, he did not want his sister's bloodline to disappear.

If the Emperor finds out that she was the one who did this, and that her identity has been exposed, he will definitely not let her off the hook.

He knew that this girl was exceptionally strong, but for her to go against the entire royal family alone was undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock, a path to certain death.

"Why?" Jun Feiran asked.

"Because Jun Feize is an unrighteous ruler."

Liu Yue said with a smile, her tone indifferent.

"Why do you say that? Do you know what the consequences of your actions will be? You will die."

"My dear uncle, you're too naive."

Upon hearing this, Jun Feiran was shocked: "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Didn't Uncle already guess my identity?" Liu Yue winked mischievously and said with a smile, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately sought me out to play chess tonight?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. You saved Ning An, you can't die!"

"If that's not the case, what are you panicking about?" Liu Yue asked directly.

She didn't like to hide things, and when she entered the Prince's mansion, she had no intention of hiding anything.

If she truly intended to conceal her identity, Jun Feiran would never have discovered it.

"You...did this on purpose?" Jun Feiran frowned. "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"You won't." Liu Yue's lips curled up slightly. Even if Jun Feiran wanted to kill her, she could ensure that she would escape unscathed.

"You brat, you're too arrogant."

With such audacity, how many lives does she have to live to cause such trouble?

Jun Feiran really didn't know how this brat had grown up so big!

Fei Yan was able to grow up safely because she had the protection of the royal family; otherwise, with her arrogant and spoiled personality, she would have been hunted down eight hundred times over.

Before he could even shine, he was dead beyond dead.

But this girl...

How could someone so arrogant have lived for three hundred years and even acquired such extraordinary skills?!

Jun Feiran simply couldn't imagine how much suffering this brat had endured.

"So you never intended to hide it from me from the beginning, and you've been testing me all along?"

"Yes, you could say that."

"When did you realize that I knew your identity?"

"Hmm..." Liu Yue raised her eyes and looked him up and down: "You can tell from your face."

It would be hard for her not to know.

"you!"

This was the first time in all these years that Jun Feiran had ever felt speechless.

This girl is just like her mother!

"Do you know how heavily guarded the palace is? You're trying to assassinate the monarch, are you out of your mind? And... why?"

Why did they want to assassinate Jun Fize?

In Jun Feiran's eyes, although this elder brother was mediocre and not particularly strong or talented, he was wholeheartedly devoted to the people!

Back then, even when he was coughing up blood, he insisted on reinforcing the seal on the southern island.

Although such a monarch is not strong, Jun Feize has done a good job sitting in that position.

“Your Majesty is devoted to the country and its people, working tirelessly. I know you hate him because of your mother, but... that is not a reason for you to act impulsively.”
