Why did you arrange to meet her outside the city?
Could it be... Lu Yan?
The next day at noon, Princess Mingyue disguised herself and secretly slipped out of the mansion, heading to Shilipo outside the city.
She arrived at the agreed location, only to find it deserted.
"Could it be a lie?"
Princess Mingyue thought to herself.
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves approached from afar.
Princess Mingyue looked up and saw a troop of people rushing towards her.
The leader was dressed in black, with a mask covering his face, obscuring his features.
Princess Mingyue was startled and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Without beating around the bush, he went straight to the point and asked:
"Your Highness, can you find an opportunity to kill Lu Yan?"
Princess Mingyue was stunned when she heard this.
Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she stared at Chu Wen in disbelief:
"What did you say? Kill...kill Lu Yan? Are you crazy?"
