Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Previously, when the 300 secret guards acknowledged Xue Yan as their master, they had also t Jiang Yue. At that ti, Xue Yan had told these secret guards that in the future, Jiang Yue’s orders would also be his orders if he was not there…

When Zou Shisi saw Jiang Yue, he imdiately bowed and reported in a low voice, “Jiang Yue, for so unknown reason, Prince Ying has secretly sent a group of n out to the South. Zou Yi wanted to report it, but it seed that they were actually tailing soone, and they looked like they were in a hurry. He was worried that he would alert the enemy if he overtook them, so he only followed closely behind.

“When those n arrived, they accidentally saw the Empress Dowager staying in an inn in Xinyuan County. She was not staying in a posthouse at all. They began to discuss why she was there. He quietly approached and overheard that they would assassinate the Empress Dowager tonight at midnight. They said that it was a rare encounter and it would be a waste not to kill her.’

Hearing this, Jiang Yue imdiately knew that Emperor Yi had not only found Prince Ying, but had also successfully instigated Prince Ying to send people to kill Xue Yan and the Empress.

Seems that he happened to et Empress Dowager Yunzi first.

She had previously heard from Xue Yan that this Empress Dowager was extrely intelligent and wise, and was Emperor Hao’s greatest support.

Right now, the Empress Dowager did not have many people protecting her, so Prince Yings n would naturally want to make a move against her.

Thinking about it, why would he attack the Empress Dowager first?

Wouldn’t this easily alert Xue Yan’s side, causing them to be more vigilant with the other royalties? Was it harder to kill Xue Yan? After all, they were all in Xinyuan County…

Since those people were sent by Prince Ying to secretly kill Xue Yan and the Empress, they should not be so st*pid as to ignore Prince Yings orders and not imdiately carry out his orders. Choosing to kill soone else at the last minute was too rash… However, those people were set on killing her…

Was killing the Empress Dowager more valuable than killing the Crown Prince and the Empress?

No matter what the Empress Dowager did, she would not be able to inherit the throne and beco the Emperor. However, Xue Yan was the Crown Prince, the rightful heir. Logically speaking, shouldn’t Xue Yan be killed first?

Was this what Prince Ying had instructed those people to do when he sent them here? So even if those people changed their plans and killed the Empress Dowager, they wouldn’t be blad by Prince Ying, right?

Was there sothing special about the Empress Dowager that she didn’t know about?

She had to ask Xue Yan properly later.

As for now, her top priority was to go to the county imdiately.

Since Empress Dowager Yunzi was astute and wise, it was very likely that she would realize that she was already being targeted before midnight. The two sides would definitely fight before midnight.

If anything happened to Empress Dowager Yunzi, or if anything happened to Xue Yan’s restoration of his status as Crown Prince, Jiang Yue would try her best to make sure it wasn’t anything harmful.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue imdiately asked, “Which inn is the Empress Dowager staying at in the county?” He did not ntion the na of the inn just now.

Before nightfall, the people Shao Zhongxi sent over did not say where Empress Dowager Yunzi was staying. They only said that she had settled down in the county.

“Jufang Inn,” Zou Shisi replied hurriedly.

“Alright.” Jiang Yue nodded. She knew that inn. This afternoon, when she and

Xue Yan were strolling on the streets of the county, they walked past this inn..
