The heavy rain lasted for a night, and the momentum gradually passed.
The thick clouds in the sky were washed away by the raindrops, revealing a clear night sky.
On the top floor of the Heavenly Phoenix Teahouse.
Sun Ruowei sat in front of the tea table, holding a jade green ceramic pot in her hand, in a daze.
"This is the Eight-Treasure Rotating Heart Kettle. It can hold two types of tea at the same time.”
"When we meet tomorrow, pour the poisoned tea into his cup, and the mission will be completed.”
The Emperor's words from yesterday rang in her mind.
Sun Ruowei sighed slightly, her fingers inserted into her soft and smooth hair, her eyes hesitant.
She didn't want to kill Zhu Gaoyan.
It wasn't that she was overflowing with sympathy, nor was it that she didn't have a chance. It was just that she didn't know why she was doing this!？
From the moment they arrived at the Ying Tian Prefecture, all their actions had been under the command of the Emperor.
The Emperor told them to set up an ambush, so they did.
If the Emperor told them to assassinate, they would assassinate.
The Emperor told them to endure, so they endured.
And now, the Emperor was asking her to kill a stranger for no reason!
Sun Ruowei felt like she was a puppet that was being used by others! Control!
This Emperor didn't seem to be here to help them take revenge. Instead, he seemed to be playing with their lives!
However, this Emperor was recommended by her most respected brother, Xu Bin.
Her foster father, Sun Yu, also listened to her words!
This made Sun Ruowei very painful. She didn't know how to choose.
Continue to believe the Emperor's words and kill that Embroidered Uniform Guard kid?
Or should he let go of everything and use his own way to investigate and take revenge?
Thinking of Zhu Gaoyan's childish face, Sun Ruowei hesitated for a moment...
"Honey, you're early!"
At this moment, a loud voice sounded.
Sun Ruowei was stunned and suddenly turned around.
She found Zhu Gaoyan standing behind her with his hands behind his back, smiling at her.
"What's wrong, honey? You don't recognize me after not seeing me for three days?”
Sun Ruowei was originally nervous and perturbed, but Zhu Gaoyan's call confused her.
She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses." Little wimp, who are you calling your wife?”
"Of course it's you. Who else is here besides you?" Zhu Gaoyan said innocently.”
"Go, go, go. Who's your wife? I'm a man.”Sun Ruowei blushed.
Although the other party was a child, she only treated that sentence as a joke.
However, this was the first time in her life that she heard someone call her 'wife'. Sun Ruowei couldn't help but feel shy.
Zhu Gaoyan sneered,""Think about it. If you were a man, would you still have the chance to live until today?”
"Assassinating the emperor and offending the heavenly might, if you were to be punished, it would be enough to execute you a thousand times over!”
"I only let you off because you have some looks and I want your body.”
"Little beauty, haven't you realized it yet? Quickly call me husband."
"Puchi!" Sun Ruowei was so angry that she laughed.
Zhu Gaoyan's cute appearance was too different from the gangster's tone.
Sun Ruowei squatted down and said,""Yes, my little husband. Are you satisfied now?”
"But there is one thing you are wrong about. I really have nothing to do with the person who assassinated the emperor. Sister only disguised herself as a man because she didn't want to cause trouble.”
"If you want to play house, I'll play with you every day. But I really can't play the game of catching assassins.”
The corner of Zhu Gaoyan's mouth curled up slightly.
It was good to be young.
If he was in his twenties, he would definitely be treated as a hooligan by the other party.
However, when the eight-year-old said these words, not only did it not cause disgust, but it also made people feel that it was interesting.
Zhu Gaoyan seemed to be talking nonsense, but in fact, he was trying to make her lower her guard.
Obviously, Zhu Gaoyan had done it.
......
At the same time.
The first floor of the Heavenly Phoenix Teahouse was already filled with guests.
However, they were not here to drink tea.
With the middle aisle as the boundary, seven or eight tables on the left were filled with Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Each of them wore a dark red flying fish robe and had a saber at their waist. They did not say a word.
There was a faint murderous aura that was faintly emitted.
On the other hand, on the right side of the corridor, it looked like a group of street vendors.
Everyone was holding a bowl of wine and chatting loudly, talking and laughing.
However, they all had one thing in common. They all had a carrying pole wrapped in cloth beside them.
"Big Brother, Sister Ruowei really went to see that child?”A skinny man in the crowd asked a burly man.
The burly man nodded." Yes."”
The skinny man sneered." Damn, I say, Sister Ruowei, you're making a mountain out of a molehill."”
"He's just a little brat. Is he worth it for so many of us to act together?”
"Right now, the situation in the city is very tense. The Embroidered Uniform Guards are patrolling every day.”
"Look over there. If they really start fighting, I'm afraid we won't be able to gain anything.”
As he spoke, the skinny man glanced in the direction of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, his eyes revealing a trace of fear.
The burly man shook his head and said,"Don't underestimate that child."”
"Ruowei said that during the search that day, this child saw through her disguise at a glance.”
"Not only that, that child seems to have discovered the tail we left there.”
The skinny man was shocked." What? Then wouldn't these people be?"
"Yes!"
The burly man took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,"These Embroidered Uniform Guards definitely didn't appear here by chance. They must have been called over by that child. As for the purpose?"
The muscular man did not continue, but the skinny man understood.
These Embroidered Uniform Guards were prepared to guard against them.
If the higher-ups failed, a fierce battle would be inevitable today!
On the other side, the Embroidered Uniform Guards were also secretly observing the brawny man and the others.
Zhu Zhanji glanced at the pole beside the burly man and sneered.
"A rat is a rat.”
He had long seen that the carrying poles wrapped in cloth strips were actually swords.
These people were the so-called orphans and assassins of Jingnan.
However, Zhu Zhanji didn't take them seriously.
In his opinion, these assassins were just a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs. No matter how many there were, it would be difficult to achieve anything.
Zhu Zhanji only cared about one thing, and that was to find the person behind these assassins!
Dozens of people were able to enter the Imperial City silently. If there was no spy, no one would believe it!
Zhu Zhanji guessed that there must be a contact person within the Imperial City.
Moreover, this contact person had a lot of say in the court!
As long as he could find this contact, his father would be considered innocent.
To the old master, it would make sense. At the very least, he could show his loyalty.
As long as the old master continued to trust the crown prince, no one would be able to shake their family's position!
"Pa da!"
Just as Zhu Zhanji was thinking, the crisp sound of a teacup shattering came from upstairs.
Zhu Zhanji was stunned, then he stood up and drew his saber.
"Attack!"
