Upon hearing this, Liu Chun immediately said, "Since you knew this, why did you dare to come and assassinate the princess? Aren't you afraid that your master will find you and question you?"
Hua Yao naturally knew that if Wen Yu was killed, the master would not let her go.
But as a subordinate, she must consider her master and restore order.
She took a deep breath and said, "It's worth sacrificing my life to clear the emperor's side."
Last night, after Ning Xuanyan returned to the base from the princess's mansion, he stood by the window for a long time.
The moon was lightly obscured by clouds and was not as bright as it was when seen from the roof of the princess's mansion.
He stood with his hands behind his back, with marks still on his cheeks and Adam's apple. Under the moonlight, he looked like a mountain monster that sucked people's energy.
"My Lord."
Hua Yao brought news, "The emperor kept the formula of the explosives so tightly that even the old man was hidden. We got nothing. The gang under his command also hasn't studied the explosives thoroughly. They tried many times, but the power was not strong enough."
"And the emperor dispatched troops to the four major passes..."
When Hua Yao said this, she noticed the seal on Ning Xuanyan's cheek. If she was not mistaken, it was the phoenix seal pattern of the Great Gift.
It's easy to guess who did it, since the Phoenix Seal is in the hands of the eldest princess.
It seems that the master has just returned from the princess's mansion...
Hua Yao was speechless for a moment, then continued: "After the emperor disperses all his troops, we..."
"Hua Yao." Ning Xuanyan spoke.
"What are your orders, my Lord?"
Ning Xuanyan looked at her: "How long have you been following me?"
Hua Yao was stunned when she heard this and knelt on one knee: "My Lord, Hua Yao has been a maid in the East Palace since she was a child."
Ning Xuanyan held the window frame with both hands and looked up at the moon. The clouds had moved away at some point and the moon became bright again.
Just like his mood at the moment.
Ning Xuanyan's tone was light, but extremely serious: "Tomorrow I will issue a call to announce the abandonment of my great cause."
Hua Yao's mind went blank for a moment after hearing this, and then her pupils widened. She stood up suddenly, incredulous: "Master?! What are you talking about?! Giving up the great cause? Then all your years of dormancy and arrangements will be in vain?"
Ning Xuanyan saw her reaction and looked at her coldly: "My decision cannot be questioned."
Hua Yao still couldn't believe it. Why did the master's ambition and vision suddenly change overnight?
She had a vague answer in her heart.
There is only one possibility that can change the Lord.
Hua Yao clenched her fists and said, "My Lord, you are willing to give up your great cause just for that princess, right?"
She took a deep breath, and it was obvious that she had suddenly become much braver. She didn't care about the etiquette between the emperor and his subjects, or the hierarchy.
"My Lord, didn't you say you wanted her to be your queen? And now you are willing to share her with other men?"
"If you accomplish your great task, she will be yours alone. She will become your queen and your wife, not just one of her many men!"
"My Lord, I don't know what she said to you, but as the Crown Prince of Dali, you have a heavy responsibility and you must not give up your cause because of a woman!"
"My Lord, think twice!"
After Hua Yao finished speaking, she knelt on one knee again and lowered her head.
Ning Xuanyan tapped the window frame with his fingertips upon hearing this and pondered for a long time.
Why didn't he want Wen Yu to be his queen and have her all to himself? He wanted her to have only him in her heart and eyes, only him to taste her lips and only him to sleep with her.
The room was silent except for the slight knocking sound on the window frame, which seemed to be knocking on the heart and resonating at the same frequency.
After a long time, his fingers suddenly clicked and he said, "I have made up my mind. No need to say more."
Hua Yao suddenly closed her eyes when she heard this. She knew that no one could change the decision made by the master after careful consideration.
But she could never accept that her master would give up his great cause for a woman.
Ever since Hua Yao knew that Ning Xuanyan wanted Wen Yu to be his queen, she was shocked and absurd at first, then kept silent and observed, and later thought that it was not a bad idea for Dali to have such a queen. Finally, she accepted it directly and had already decided on this future queen of Dali in her heart.
Sometimes, she even regarded Wen Yu as half a master.
I would also be happy about the progress between Ning Xuanyan and Wen Yu.
But Wen Yu can be the queen after Ning Xuanyan succeeds in his great cause, but she cannot be the person who confuses the emperor and makes Ning Xuanyan give up his great cause.
As long as Wen Yu died, the master would no longer be bound by her emotions and choose to give up his great cause for her.
So Hua Yao found Wen Yu and decided to clear out the emperor's entourage. Even if she died as a result, it would be worth it.
At this moment, Wen Yu looked at Hua Yao, who had a determined look on her face, and suddenly asked, "What did Ning Xuanyan say to you after he left me?"
Huayao: ...
"You don't need to know, die!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a thin figure landed beside Wen Yu's carriage. He was wearing a mask of a swimming fish on his face. It was Yu Yi who had been secretly protecting Wen Yu.
Hua Yao was not surprised, because she knew that Wen Yu had always had a Qianyu Guard by her side, and he was also her lover.
She clenched the sword in her hand, feeling sorry for Ning Xuanyan who decided to give up his ambition for Wen Yu.
Hua Yao touched the ground with her toes, turned around and stepped forward, stabbing Wen Yu with the tip of her sword.
Wen Yu was not alarmed when she saw this, and even said, "Let me guess, Ning Xuanyan has decided to give up his cause of restoring his country?"
Hua Yao's eyes flashed and the sword's edge became colder.
The sound of weapons clashing was very crisp.
Yu Yi stood in front of the carriage, raised his arm to block Hua Yao's killing move, and the short blade in his other hand slashed across Hua Yao's neck at a high speed with murderous intent.
She immediately flew back a little and attacked again.
