If Prince Qi comes to power in the future, he will be far more powerful than the foolish Crown Prince, and the survival of the Demonic Sect will only become more difficult.
Yun Jianyue snorted: "You don't need to worry about that. We have our own reasons."
Zu An frowned: "But now the Emperor and the others know your identity, and your plan to frame someone has completely failed."
"Isn't my identity exposed all because of you?" Yun Jianyue said, her teeth itching. "So what if the emperor knows my identity? Who says the Holy Sect can't side with Prince Qi?"
Zu An looked strange. Are all pretty girls this cunning? This time, King Qi is really taking the blame.
Sensing her resentment towards him, Zu'an hurriedly said, "I saw Hong Lei when I left the palace earlier and relayed your words to her. Also, this is the hammock I bought for you."

Zu An's face lit up with joy: "Was it Cheng Xiong who notified you? Uh, no, that's not right."
However, he immediately dismissed this speculation. If Yun Jianyue's mole was Cheng Xiong, she would never have said that.
