Chapter 360, Old Love from the Past (5 Updates)

The assassin wasn't here to strike at her but to target the noble at Huguo Temple at this moment.

Considering the guards' attire, that person must be a noble from the palace.

I wonder which noble lady it is? Or perhaps it's the Emperor himself.

Lady Marquis remained utterly composed.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man approaching, Lady Marquis immediately understood.

The Emperor, in a plain disguise, happened to encounter an assassin.

She could die, but she must die with value.

If she were to die here today, she would have to secure a title for her daughter; after being abandoned for ten years, returning to the capital, to marry into a distinguished family, a title was essential.

"Bold assassin, release this lady, and We shall spare your life!" the Emperor declared gravely, recognizing Lady Marquis.

They had grown up together after all, with affection spanning many years; it was important to him, both publicly and privately, that Lady Marquis must not be harmed.
