Assassination

"How could the king be so ruthless?" Xiao Qi lamented, a frown in her forehead.

Although she was born in the High Duke's Public House, she knew very well that the cruelest of them all was the Emperor's household. The Emperor's thoughts were cold and would always prioritize benefits before everything else. There was no difference between trash and life in the Emperor's eyes. However, Fu Mengshan was no ordinary official. He was one of the Emperor's favorites since he was extremely loyal to him. Nobody would be able to accept it if the Emperor simply killed him off. Who else could still be loyal to him if they found out?

Chu Li said, "It's like we're living in the tiger's den and all Emperors are the same. There's no difference between them."

"Sigh…" Xiao Qi sighed.
