Shen Xiuyi gave him an approving look and said, "Agreed."
He then looked at Shen Youying and comforted her, "Don't worry, I know how to deal with the Third Prince. He still needs me as a weapon and is unwilling to give me up easily. This is my chance."
Seeing that the two of them had already come up with a plan, Shen Youying knew she couldn't stop them, so she could only say, "Then, brother, be careful and come back soon."
Shen Xiuyi nodded, got up and left.
Meanwhile, Xue Shen dispatched all the guards hidden in the shadows to begin laying a trap for the eldest and fourth princes.

Shen Xiuyi returned to the Third Prince's residence.
When Chahar saw him, he was overjoyed, as if he had been saved: "You've finally come."
Shen Xiuyi, feigning ignorance, asked, "Your Highness summoned me back in such a hurry, has something happened?"
Chahar's face darkened, and he said, "News has come from the palace that Father is dying."
Shen Xiuyi's expression shifted, surprised that the Tibetan king had succumbed to his illness so quickly: "Why hasn't the third prince entered the palace to attend to his ailing father yet?"
Upon hearing this, Chahar's face contorted with rage: "Chali has sent troops to seal off the palace, forbidding Chamu and me from entering."
He sneered, "I think he's trying to take this opportunity to force the king to pass the throne to him."
Chahar paced back and forth in the hall for a long time before finally speaking to Shen Xiuyi as if he had made up his mind: "Are you willing to kill Chali for me?"
Shen Xiuyi lowered her eyes, knelt on one knee, and said, "Your Highness is willing to share your burdens, but since the eldest prince is currently in the palace, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to get close to him."
Upon hearing this, Chahar smiled and helped him up, saying, "I know this matter is not simple, so I have already bribed the guards. You need to disguise yourself as a palace servant and infiltrate the palace. Chali has sent out a large number of troops to seal off the palace and guard against me and Chamu. The defenses inside the palace are certainly not as tight as outside. This is your chance."
Shen Xiuyi's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head and said, "I will obey Your Highness's orders. Your Highness saved my life, and I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness without hesitation."
Upon hearing this, Chahar laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Good! Go to the palace now. When I inherit the throne, you will definitely receive a share of the rewards."
