"It is true that Miss Xu saved the prince today. The prince is upright and honest. How could he kill someone by mistake?"

Indeed, although it is said that the Regent is vicious and moody, one can easily become his victim if one is not careful.

But as his confidant, he knew clearly that although the Regent had killed many people over the years, he had never killed any good people.

Those who were killed were those who deserved to be killed.

Black Hawk was puzzled. "But we've already investigated. She can cure the incurable poison on the sword, and she happened to be there. She's the emperor's favorite concubine. Doesn't this mean she's deliberately trying to get close to the prince?"

Xiao Jing pursed his lips, his brows becoming gloomy. The words "the emperor's favorite concubine" were very harsh to his ears, and his face darkened.

Ye Qi looked helplessly at his good brother Black Hawk: "With our prince's intelligence and wisdom, why would he be afraid of a woman?"

"Besides, didn't the emperor treat Miss Xu as a target?"

"You said you could tell Miss Xu about this and then turn her around and make her the prince's wife. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"

"In this way, the Xu family will also stand on our side, and it will be a big step for the prince to ascend to that position."

Xiao Jing's eyebrows twitched, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Ye Qi with admiration.

Why didn’t I realize how clever this kid is before?

It seems that although he is a taciturn person, he has a lot of knowledge.

Black Hawk also widened his eyes, and an idea flashed through his mind.

Yes! It can be done this way!

"Yes, snatch the emperor's woman away. Even if she's a target, the emperor will probably be furious."

"When the prince takes control of the entire court, I will kill her in front of the emperor."

Ye Qi held his forehead with his hand, thinking that this tactless brother could not be saved.

"Your Highness, I think we can keep Miss Xu by our side for observation and we can discuss the matter later."

These words resonated with the Regent, who nodded slightly.

The next morning, the emperor woke up from his peaceful embrace. Concubine Xi was so good at her job that the emperor was almost overwhelmed.

Upon learning that Duke Liu had been waiting in the conference room early in the morning, the emperor's eyes lit up and he strode towards the conference room.

"How was it? Did things go well last night?" the emperor asked impatiently, eager to hear the news of the regent's death.

They had been planning for last night's assassination for a long time, even using up their private treasury and spending a large sum of money to hire top killers from two underworld organizations.

To be on the safe side, he sent out his assassins and the men of Duke Liu, hoping to hit the target with one strike.

If the regent can be killed, the money spent will be worth it.

Duke Liu sighed deeply: "The operation failed!"

"What?!"

The emperor cried out in shock, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

"The two major organizations combined have 300 experts, plus our people, a total of more than 500 people? How could we fail?"

"Hasn't he already found out that all his plans are foolproof? Does he have nine lives?"

In recent years, there have been many attempts to assassinate the Regent, but each one has ended in failure.

But this time they were 100% sure, how could they fail?!

"We all underestimated the Regent. According to the spies' reports, we still had a chance of victory. Even if the Regent didn't die, he would be seriously injured. After all, he only brought twenty secret guards with him."

"Just as the poisonous arrow was about to hit him, a woman in red appeared."

"That woman's appearance has disrupted all our plans. When did such a skilled woman appear in the capital, and is she even related to the Regent?"

"Because of that woman's appearance, we were dragged until the Regent's reinforcements appeared."

Upon hearing this, the emperor's face was filled with sinister intent. "Investigate! Find out for me who ruined my plans. I want her dead!"

"yes."

The emperor waved his wide sleeves, sweeping all the memorials on the table to the ground, his eyes wide open in anger.

The news of the assassination of the Regent spread throughout the capital in less than half a day.

Undercurrents were surging in the court, and there was no need to guess who was behind the assassination of the Regent.

The Regent did not attend court, which must be because he was seriously injured.

For a while, the ministers on both sides started to confront each other openly and secretly.

The emperor felt somewhat happy when he saw that the position of regent was vacant.

One day, he would make sure that he could never come to court again.

Xiao Jing's face was flushed, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he woke up gasping for breath.

My pounding heart hasn't calmed down yet, and last night's dream was so real.

When I lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed, I saw the marks on my pants, the base of my ears was dark red, and my face was filled with embarrassment.

He instantly regained his cool appearance, changed into clean clothes, and hid the hot pants in his hand in the closet.

When Li Youcai came in with a basin of hot water to help him wash his face, Xiao Jing frowned and asked him to bring in another basin of clean water.

Li Youcai was kicked out after he came back with a basin of clean water.

Li Youcai looked confused. He didn't understand why the prince was unhappy so early in the morning and didn't need him to go in and serve him.

Could it be that he did something wrong and the prince wants to replace him?!

Li Youcai widened his eyes. Although the job of serving the prince personally was not easy, the benefits were good.

When he goes out, everyone compliments him.

Even those high-ranking officials, who would dare to turn their backs on him?

Li Youcai's face changed. He couldn't let such a good job go to waste.

He wanted to apologize and ask the prince for mercy.

Li Youcai shuddered and pushed the door open.

Xiao Jing paused, and his underwear fell into the clear water, splashing water.

Xiao Jing: "..."

Li Youcai: “…”

The two looked at each other in awkward silence.

Li Youcai roared in his heart: It’s over! It’s over!

He is dead!

The prince was washing his underwear himself, and he actually saw it. Would the prince kill to silence him?!

Then he thought of something, his old face broke into a smile, and his eyes widened.

"Your Majesty, you you you..."

Li Youcai was so excited that he couldn't speak and his breathing became rapid.

Xiao Jing said with a straight face: "Don't get out yet!"

"yes."

Li Youcai bent down and walked out. Just as he closed the door, he remembered something and pushed the door open again in a flattering manner.

The underwear that Xiao Jing had just picked up slipped down again. Looking at Li Youcai, his temples twitched and he glared at him sharply.

Li Youcai laughed awkwardly: "Your Majesty, such rough work should be done by me, how can I let you condescend to me..."

As he spoke, Li Youcai bent over and walked forward.

"Get out!" Xiao Jing roared!

"From now on, you are not allowed to come in without my permission." Xiao Jing's face was as black as ink, and his tone became cold.

"Yes, get out now, get out now."

Li Youcai finally understood what was going on and ran away quickly, not forgetting to close the door.

Patting his heart, Li Youcai was excited and a little scared.

But I am more happy that the prince is better!

alright!
