Zhao Xi laughed loudly when he heard this. He pointed at a document in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you may not know that you are already in my plan. Your disappearance and injury are all part of my plan."

The emperor and Zhao Ji were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that this plan would be so meticulous and vicious.

Zhao Xi looked at the expressions of the emperor and Zhao Ji, feeling very proud. He stood up, walked to the door, then turned back to look at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you lose. You will never find this information."

After saying that, Zhao Xi turned and left the temple. The man in black who stayed behind stood at the door, looking coldly at the emperor and Zhao Ji.

However, just as Zhao Xi was about to walk out of the temple, a figure suddenly flashed by, and a sharp sword pierced through his body from behind.

Zhao Xi stared at the emperor and Zhao Ji in front of him with wide eyes, his eyes full of fear and confusion. He tried to speak, but only a weak sound came out of his mouth.

The emperor looked at Zhao Xi's body and took a deep breath. He turned to look at Zhao Ji and said, "We succeeded."

Zhao Ji nodded, a smile on his face. They knew that this was just the beginning. They needed to find the power behind the man in black and uncover the truth of this conspiracy.

However, just as they were about to leave the temple, another person suddenly walked in. This person was wearing a black cloak and a hat on his head, and his face was also unclear.

The emperor and Zhao Ji looked at the figure warily, not knowing whether he was a friend or an enemy. However, the figure slowly took off his hat, revealing a familiar face.

"It's me." A familiar voice sounded.

The emperor and Zhao Ji were both stunned. They looked at the face of the figure, their hearts filled with shock and confusion. This person was none other than their ally, Xiaoling, the daughter of the prefect.

Xiao Ling looked at the expressions of the emperor and Zhao Ji and smiled faintly: "I'm sorry, I lied to you."

The emperor looked at Xiaoling with a serious look in his eyes: "Who are you?"

Xiaoling smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that we have a common enemy."

Zhao Ji looked at Xiao Ling with a look of vigilance: "Why did you do this?"

Xiaoling sighed: "I did this to protect my father and myself."

The emperor looked at Xiaoling with doubts in his eyes: "Protect yourself? Do you know what you are doing?"

Xiaoling nodded: "I know what I'm doing. My father told me everything about the Men in Black and their conspiracy."

"Then do you know that your father has been working with the men in black for your sake? He is treasonous!"

Xiao Ling sighed: "My father can betray his country for me, and I will also step into the quagmire for my father!"

Xiao Ling looked at the expressions of the emperor and Zhao Ji, "I am willing to cooperate with you to uncover the truth of this conspiracy." She took a deep breath, "Because this is the only thing I can do for my father."

The emperor looked at Xiaoling with mixed emotions in his eyes. He knew that Xiaoling's motives might not be so pure, but what she said was the truth, and they needed her help to uncover this complicated conspiracy.

"We need to find the forces behind the men in black." The emperor said in a deep voice, "They have already started to attack the Celestial Empire. We must stop their plans."

Zhao Ji nodded, "We still need to find that intelligence, otherwise they will continue to attack us."

Xiao Ling looked at the emperor and Zhao Ji's faces and understood their plan. She knew that she needed to learn as much as possible about the truth of the conspiracy before deciding on her own actions.

"I have some clues." Xiaoling said slowly, "The power behind the man in black may be more powerful than we thought. We need to be careful."

The emperor looked at Xiaoling with gratitude in his eyes, "Thank you, Xiaoling. We will be careful."

Zhao Ji nodded, "We need to make a detailed plan. We need to find the intelligence and protect ourselves at the same time."

Xiao Ling looked at the emperor and Zhao Ji's faces and understood their determination. She knew that she had made the right decision.

"When do we start?" Xiaoling asked in a deep voice.

The emperor looked at Xiaoling and Zhao Ji's faces, his heart filled with determination, "Let's start now." He took a deep breath, "We must fight for the Celestial Empire."

Zhao Ji looked at the emperor with determination in his eyes, "For the sake of the Celestial Empire." He took a deep breath.

After Xiaoling left again, Zhao Ji sighed deeply. Looking at the girl's back, Zhao Ji felt a little cold.

Originally, it was thought that Xiaoling was just a hostage kidnapped by the men in black, but now it seems that Xiaoling is not simple. I'm afraid the prefect himself doesn't know that his daughter is so powerful.

On the other side, after the emperor and Zhao Ji resolved the assassination crisis, they returned to the town again.

As soon as he entered the city, the emperor couldn't wait to find Wang Wanru. Wang Wanru had been trying to find out the emperor's situation for some time. As a result, the emperor specially left Wang Wanru and the eunuch Xiao Xiazi in this town two days ago in order to prepare for the assassination. At that time, Wang Wanru and Xiao Xiazi even thought that the emperor had suspected and guessed their purpose.

They had already planned to sneak out to look for the emperor and Zhao Ji.

But when I turned around, I found that the emperor had come back again in a stupid manner.

The princess was dressed like a little white flower, leaning weakly on the table, with tears in the corners of her eyes. When she saw the emperor, tears flowed down her cheeks and dripped onto the table. She looked so pitiful.

The emperor looked at Wang Wanru and felt a little guilty. He understood that in order to protect Wang Wanru, he had to let her stay in the dangerous city.

He walked up to Wang Wanru, gently stroked her face, and wiped away her tears. "Wanru, I'm sorry, I should have come back earlier."

Wang Wanru looked at the emperor with gratitude in her eyes, "Your Majesty, please don't say that. I know you left to protect Wanru."

The emperor looked at Wang Wanru deeply, his heart filled with tenderness, "Wanru, you have worked hard during this period. I will definitely resolve this matter as soon as possible so that we can live a peaceful life."

Wang Wanru nodded, "Your Majesty, I believe in you. You can definitely solve this problem."

The emperor looked at Wang Wanru with a determined look in his eyes, "I will. For our Celestial Empire, I will do whatever it takes."

Wang Wanru looked at the emperor with determination in her eyes, "I believe in you, Your Majesty."

On the other side, Zhao Ji found Xiaoling directly when he returned to the city.

Xiaoling was thinking about the man in black in the room. When she saw Zhao Ji coming in, she smiled faintly and said, "You're back."
