Chapter 680.2: Efforts in division

The womans rage lost steam upon hearing his words. Qing-er, the current situation in Xiliu is murky. You shouldnt be too impatient, even if you have your eyes on that position.

Grand Ancestor, I am indignant. Viciousness replaced the gentleness in Hua Ziqings eyes.

The woman in

lanshan

understood what he was getting at and showed a smile. Keep calm, and keep patient; there will be a way to solve everything.

Grand Ancestor, the only subordinates I have are the

you gave me. Hua Ziqing contained his sly intentions in his heart as helplessness plagued his expression.

The woman smiled faintly. Qing-er, the abilities I taught you are not to be used against me. She paused before continuing. But, you indeed need some reliable subordinates. Ill send them to you.

Grand Ancestor, we can actually make use of the relations.h.i.+p between Yun Ruofeng and Princess Consort Hao. Why dont we

. Prince Hao is astute and resourceful; hes not someone a despicable person like Yun Ruofeng can defeat. That said, the rumours that have spread across the world are unfavourable to Princess Consort Hao. If we use them well, we can kill two birds with one stone. But if we fail, the worst consequence would be trapping ourselves in the city and guarding it.

Her words finally confirmed Hua Ziqings thoughts that his Grand Ancestor still hadnt let go of her ambition.

Qing-er, Hua Zirong will definitely eliminate Li Zikang, so you have to strike while the iron is hot. Before he dies, instigate his soldiers to create chaos and kill all your opponents before they even know whats happening. The woman in

lanshan

had been meticulously playing out every step of her chessboard with her knowledge of the human heart.

However, she would never have expected that her seemingly seamless plan would collapse like sand in the wind because of a completely unexpected person.

Hua Ziqing held a composed expression. Grand Ancestor, is Princess Consort Hao really the reincarnated Eldest Imperial Princess?

Thoughts whirled around in the womans head. There are things one must believe in, there are things one must listen to, there are things one must ask about, and there are things one must say out loud. The reverse is also true.

Hua Ziqing quickly understood the undertone in her cryptic words.

Ill put an end to this matter and not ask any further.

Thank you for the valuable lesson. Hua Ziqing nodded.

The woman took a glimpse outside of the window.

Its about time.

Recuperate well here.

Before Hua Ziqing could react, the woman suddenly ran him through with a sword. She pulled it out quickly, letting the man in the mask who had previously accompanied Hua Ziqing to catch him and feed him a pill to help his blood coagulate.

Spread the news wide and far that an a.s.sa.s.sin has breached Liuhua Courtyard. You and Qing-er should be able to handle the rest. The woman calmly said, as if she hadnt been the one who had pierced Hua Ziqing.

Huge beads of sweat were dripping from Hua Ziqings pallid face as he endured the acute pain. Your grandson thanks Great Ancestor for your teachings.

The woman then turned around and left the room swiftly, leaving Hua Ziqing to give the man with the mask a meaningful look.

Before long, chaos broke out in Liuhua Courtyard when the news of an a.s.sa.s.sination attempt on a prince broke out. In fact, many speculated if this was Hua Zirongs way of saying that he didnt think Hua Ziqings punishment had been sufficient.

When Hua Zirong received the news in the palace, his eyes were no different from a glacier. Hua Ziqing, youre really ruthless.

He was very clear that Hua Ziqings attempted a.s.sa.s.sination was just his own ploy. Now that such an incident had occurred, Hua Zirong understood that keeping Hua Ziqing confined would only foster dissent and distrust among the ma.s.ses.

A wave of anger gushed through his whole body.

I didnt expect that I would have to let him out so quickly.

Hua Ziqing, since you want to come out, this Monarch will let you come out gloriously.
