They were ambushed and killed by thirty well-trained assassins.
Of course, the target of the ambush was Master Wuen.
Fortunately, Master Wu'en and his disciples had traveled to another country, and they were accompanied by many experts. They were also protected by people sent by the emperor to invite him back. Pei Ji happened to meet them while investigating a case and helped them.

Therefore, Princess Rongfu or the person who was behind the substitution of the cat for the prince did not know Pei Ji's purpose in inviting Master Wuen back, nor did she worry about being discovered.
