C70

Chu Ci was killed in the Prince Rong's Mansion. Even if the Kaiser did not have any evidence to prove that it was related to him, the Kaiser was still given an excuse to make life difficult for him.

Could it be that the other party's goal was to sow discord between him and the Kaiser?

But in this entire dynasty, other than Kaiser and a few other ministers, no one would know of the turbulent relationship between him and the Kaiser.

Could it be because of those old fogeys in the court?

If it was one of the assassins, then it had nothing to do with the Kaiser.

But Chu Ci was the Kaiser's blood sister, so even if the Kaiser wanted to touch him, there were still many reasons. There was no need to use Chu Ci's life in exchange for a natural reason.

The biggest possibility was that the other party had used Chu Ci's "death" to sow discord between him and Kaiser, and thus reap the benefits.

No matter how he thought about it, Rong Yu still couldn't think of a suitable suspect.

There was only one oil lamp in the dark room, which was made of green stones.

The secret chamber was airtight, and only the light that was as big as a bean sprout was able to find a trace of light within this dark chamber.

In the dark room, a man dressed in brocade stood in front of a table. Under the dim light, he looked at a portrait hanging on the wall.

At this moment, the door of the dark room was opened. The sound of the heavy stone door opening broke the stifling silence of the dark room, and at the same time, the man's thoughts were pulled back from the portrait.

"Master."

The man in black walked up behind the man, his voice low and tinged with fear.

The man didn't make a sound. His elegant fingertips tapped lightly on the table as if he was waiting for someone to speak.

After a moment of silence, the black-clothed man frowned and braced himself, saying, "Master, the people we sent have failed."

"Oh?"

The anticipated rage did not appear. The man only raised his eyebrows and spoke in a low voice. He stood with his back facing the black-clothed man. Although his face could not be seen, he could still clearly feel the anger that was faintly emanating from his body.

In the quiet dark room, there was a suffocating pressure that caused the man in black clothing to shiver. A moment later, the man turned his head around. His seemingly calm deep eyes hid a dark and ruthless killing intent.

The black clothed man's body instinctively trembled twice as he repeatedly kowtowed to the man and begged for forgiveness, "Master, please calm down, Master, please calm down. Master, if it was not for Rong Yu saving Princess Yang, Ling Feng would not have missed. "

He tried to use this reason to explain to the person in front of him the reason behind the failure of their assassination attempt.

This sentence was indeed useful, but when the man heard him mention Rong Yu, the ruthless aura around his body became a little more reserved, and was replaced with a face full of shock.

"Rong Yu saved Chu Ci?"

"Yes …" Yes, Master, it was indeed Rong Yu who did it. "

The man in black nodded, but didn't dare to meet the man's gaze.

In the dark room, the dim light seemed to have dimmed a little. His fingertips tapped the table thoughtfully, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He murmured to himself with a thoughtful expression.

If Rong Yu personally made a move, then it would also be understandable for the people he sent to fail.

But wasn't Rong Yu always on guard against his, why didn't he use this chance when the assassin was trying to kill her to get rid of his, and instead save her?

Could it be … Rong Yu saw through the purpose of this assassination?

Suddenly, a few cold laughs came out of his mouth. He looked sinister and threatening, and the entire chamber gave one a suffocating feeling.

"Alright, you can go now. For the matter of killing Chu Ci, please wait for a moment and listen to my orders."

"Yes, Master."

The man in black heaved a sigh of relief as he hurriedly stood up and left the secret room.

The door to the secret chamber was shut once again. A trace of malevolence flashed across the man's silent face. A dark and cold laughter filled the entire secret chamber.

Longyi Pavilion.

Chu Ci could not remember how long she had slept, but this was the most comfortable night she had ever slept in since entering the Longyi Pavilion.

She stretched lazily, scratched her disheveled hair, and sat up in bed.

Suddenly, she seemed to have realized something. She looked around and soon after, her eyes widened in horror.

"Damn, why am I sleeping on Rong Yu's luxurious bed again!"

Just as she was about to take advantage of Rong Yu's absence, she jumped off the bed, just in case he caught her red-handed and found another opportunity to cheat her.

However, just as her bare feet touched the ground, she seemed to have thought of something and retracted her foot.

When all consciousness returned, she calmly withdrew her feet from the bed and lay down again.

Thinking back to the scene before she fell asleep, an indescribable strangeness lingered in her mind.

Although she was sleeping soundly, why did it feel like Rong Yu had been sitting by her side the whole time?

Damn it, why did she have such a weird feeling? It was clear that this scum was not here.

However, coming back to this, the security that the trash of a man had given her was unimaginable. It actually made her sleep so deeply.

Suddenly, she thought of the assassin from last night. Her scalp tingled and her chrysanthemum tightened.

"Last night's assassin was clearly aiming at me. That vow of not stopping until I was killed was just too shocking."

She changed her position, folded her hands behind her head, and began talking to herself.

"Why did an assassin risk his life to come to Prince Rong's Mansion to kill me?"

She rolled over and continued to lie down.

The assassin from yesterday. Even though she hadn't fought with him before, to be able to exchange so many blows with him meant that his skills weren't bad. Sending an expert to assassinate him meant that he was going to kill her.

Furthermore, the person who sent him must be so stupid. He clearly knows that the Prince Rong's Mansion is heavily guarded but he still sent him to his death, the only possibility is ….

"Oh my god, could it be that they want to use my death to cause trouble for Rong Yu?"

Combining the various palace dramas she had seen, the conspiracy dramas, and the political dramas was the greatest possibility that she could think of.

If he just wanted to kill her, he could have waited until she was not in the Prince Mansion, and when he needed all kinds of protection, wouldn't his success rate be even higher?

The other party insisted on assassinating Rong Yu when she was in Prince Mansion. Even if he did not want to frame Rong Yu, he wanted to find trouble with him.

After all, she was the Kaiser's younger sister. If she died inside the Prince Rong's Mansion, the Kaiser would seize the opportunity to teach Rong Yu a lesson.

"That's right, that must be it!"
