He scanned the surroundings before quietly making his way towards the Piaoyun Pavilion, a route already etched in his memory from the map of the royal residence.
However, due to the presence of four skilled fighters inside the Piaoyun Pavilion, he was immediately detected upon entering Prince Luo's Residence.
As soon as An Ruo Ran and Du Zhongtian sensed an unfamiliar presence, they quickly rose and positioned themselves outside Luo Bingbing's room, forming a protective circle around her.
Thus, when the assassin stealthily approached the Piaoyun Pavilion, Su Yan swiftly moved behind him and launched a surprise attack.
With one kick, she knocked the assassin down. Following that, Du Zhongtian and An Ruo Ran rushed to Su Yan's side, and the three of them attacked the assassin simultaneously.
In just a few blinks, they had him pinned to the ground, unable to rise.
Seeing how weak the assassin was, easily taken down by them, Su Yan couldn't help but curse, "A stupid pig is still a pig; they actually sent a 'crawler' to be an assassin."
Although the assassin was too weak to stand up, he could hear Su Yan's words clearly. Accustomed to being high and mighty, used to flattery and sycophancy, he felt an intense rage at hearing such scornful remarks.
He slowly lifted his head and glared at Su Yan with hatred, saying, "Little Bitch, you will pay for what you just said."
Su Yan was furious upon hearing his words and coldly replied, "Damn 'crawler,' how dare you insult me? Are you itching for a beating?"
With that, she stepped toward the fallen assassin, ready to whip him.
However, just as she raised her foot, the assassin let out a shriek. At the same time, Du Zhongtian and Su Yan heard heavy thuds and muffled groans echoing in their ears.
At that moment, others in the Piaoyun Pavilion and patrolling guards also heard the assassin's scream and rushed over.
Upon receiving reports from the guards, Lord Lo An immediately got up and hurried over.
Then, Lord Lo An ordered that the assassin be captured. Since Luo Bingbing had not opened her door yet, he instructed that the assassin be taken to The Hall of the Wangfu for interrogation.
However, everyone was filled with confusion about why there had been such a commotion while Little One had yet to open her door.
They wanted to knock on the door but were afraid of disturbing the Little One's peaceful dreams, so everyone quietly left the Piaoyun Pavilion and went to the Hall of the Wangfu.
Luo Bingbing was no longer in her room. When the assassin infiltrated the Wangfu, she sensed another intruder.
She initially thought that both of them were targeting her, so she didn't pay much attention, thinking that she just needed to stay quietly in her room and wait for them to fall into her trap.
Thus, she sat motionless on the Carved Wooden Chair in her room, quietly listening to the movements of Du Zhongtian and the others.
When she heard that Su Yan had already engaged with one intruder, she thought that Du Zhongtian and the others would soon confront the other intruder as well.
However, after a long time, she still did not hear any sounds of Du Zhongtian and the others fighting with the other intruder.
At this point, she felt a bit puzzled and used her Ability to sense the location of the other intruder. However, after scanning the entire Prince Luo's Residence with her spiritual awareness, she did not detect that person's presence.
Nonetheless, she had a strong feeling that the person was hiding somewhere within Prince Luo's Residence.
At the same time, she was secretly astonished by that person's abilities; they could evade her Ability scan, indicating that they were extraordinary and possessed inhuman capabilities.
So while Du Zhongtian and his team dealt with the assassin who had come to Piaoyun Pavilion, she quietly left her room and began searching through the Wangfu at night, trying to locate the other intruder.
In fact, her intuition was correct; there were indeed two people who had infiltrated Prince Luo's Residence.
Moreover, the other intruder was none other than a person sent by General Lan Zhiguang—his personal Dark Guard, Ben.
Ben's martial skills were only average, considered first-rate at best. However, before coming to Prince Luo's Residence tonight, someone had tampered with him, which is why Luo Bingbing's Ability could not detect his presence.
As soon as he entered Prince Luo's Residence, he immediately put on a protective talisman given to him by the National Master.
Then he went directly to Azure Water Pavilion to find Consort Luo and the others.
Upon stealthily arriving at Consort Luo's room, he casually shattered a vase inside.
Consort Luo, who was dreaming of playing chess with Zhou Gong, suddenly woke up after hearing a loud crash.
After waking up, she immediately saw Ben casually sitting at the table in her room. Seeing a stranger in her room late at night startled her, and she was naturally very frightened.
She quickly thought about calling for help, but it seemed that Ben knew her thoughts. Before she could send out a distress signal, he swiftly approached her and covered her mouth.
Once he had secured the Prince Luo's Residence, he hurriedly said to her, "Consort, I know that you are in urgent need of help, and I have come to assist you."
Upon hearing his words, Consort Luo felt a slight reduction in her fear. She coldly stared at Ben, protesting with her eyes.
Receiving her protesting gaze, Ben slowly spoke, "I know that you have an enemy within the Prince Luo's Residence who is about to become the Empress of the Silver Moon Kingdom. She has already harmed you and the Fourth Princess so severely. If she becomes the Empress, do you think you and your Beloved Daughter will have a good life then? Madam Xiang has already been expelled from the Prince Luo's Residence; it won't be long before you face a similar fate."
At this point, Ben looked at Consort Luo on the bed and noticed that she was truly listening to him. He continued, "I also do not wish for her to become the Empress of the Silver Moon Kingdom. Therefore, I want to join forces with you to eliminate her."
After hearing his words, Consort Luo finally understood his intentions and no longer felt afraid. She gently nodded at him and gestured for him to remove his hand.
Consort Luo wrote a few words on her hand, indicating for Ben to explain his plan.
Seeing that Consort Luo had fully accepted his request, Ben took out a small pill given to him by the national master and said to her, "You just need to find an opportunity to place this pill under that little witch's foot, and she will naturally be unable to become the Empress of the Silver Moon Kingdom. At that time, you can take your revenge however you wish."
After nodding slightly, Consort Luo reached out and took the small pill from Ben's hand.
Once Ben saw that Consort Luo had taken the pill, he immediately took his leave and quickly exited the Prince Luo's Residence.
Since the national master had informed him that the talisman he possessed was only effective for one hour, he felt very anxious. After completing his mission, he swiftly left the Prince Luo's Residence to report back to his master at the General's Mansion.
During the day, Consort Luo and her Beloved Daughter had heard that Emperor Dongfang Hao intended to make Luo Bingbing his consort. They began plotting in their hearts, determined not to let that little one ascend to power.
They were deeply afraid that if Luo Bingbing became consort, their status would diminish even further, leading to a much harder life.
Therefore, even if Ben hadn't come looking for her, she would have found ways to obstruct that little one from entering the palace as consort.
After safely storing away the pill given by Ben, she lay down and continued sleeping.
Because Ben had arrived quickly and left just as fast with a protective talisman on him, Luo Bingbing did not find him within the Prince Luo's Residence at all.
After they brought the assassin sent by the Empress Dowager into the hall, Lo An Lord directly asked, "Who are you? Who sent you?"
The assassin turned his head away in response to the question, treating Lo An Lord's words as if they were merely a breeze passing by, ignoring him completely.
Seeing the assassin's attitude, Lo An Lord couldn't help but smile slightly and said calmly, "I hope you'll remain this composed later."
As soon as he finished speaking, he called out loudly to the guards outside the door, "Bring him down and give him a hundred strokes of the rod."
"Yes." The guards entered and dragged the assassin out to the courtyard for execution.
While the execution was taking place, Luo Bingbing arrived at the hall without finding Ben.
Lo An Lord and Du Zhongtian were very pleased to see her, especially Su Yan, who immediately boasted to Little One, "Junior Sister, it was I who brought him down!"
After hearing this, Luo Bingbing nodded slightly and said slowly, "He is just one of the assassins; there's another one who is more skilled that we haven't found yet."
Everyone was astonished by her words, especially An Ruo Ran and her companions, as they had not sensed the presence of another assassin.
So when they heard Luo Bingbing mention that another assassin had escaped, they were quite shocked. After a while, the guards brought back the assassin who had received a hundred strokes of punishment to report to Lo An Lord.
Luo Bingbing casually glanced at the assassin before directly asking, "Where is your companion?"
The assassin was barely conscious from the beating and didn't even lift his eyes at Luo Bingbing's question, treating everyone in front of him as if they were invisible.
"Not going to speak?" After a brief pause, Luo Bingbing continued, "Then I'll let you taste what it means to be tortured to death. I wonder how you'll feel as I carve into you bit by bit?"
Although Luo Bingbing spoke with a smile, both the assassin and those around them felt a chill run down their spines—a deep-rooted fear emanating from within.
Seeing that she had frightened the assassin but he still hadn't answered her question, Luo Bingbing casually drew out a hidden dagger from her calf and slowly brought it closer to his face.
As the assassin saw Little One's dagger approaching him, beads of sweat began to form on his forehead. The hot droplets fell one by one onto the ground with a crisp sound…
The sharp dagger had already carved a deep gash on his face. Just as Luo Bingbing was about to start slicing into his flesh, the terrified assassin exclaimed, "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"
Upon hearing his words, Luo Bingbing's hand stopped. After wiping the blood from the dagger on his face, the Little One placed the dagger back against her calf.
The assassin slowly said, "I am a guest of the Empress Dowager, sent by her this time."
Everyone was startled by his words, thinking to themselves, "Even the Empress Dowager is involved!"
Then, Luo Bingbing took out a small vial from her bosom and poured a black pill from it. She quickly grasped the assassin's jaw, forcing him to swallow the black pill.
Calmly looking at the assassin before her, Luo Bingbing said slowly, "What I just gave you is poison. Without an antidote for half a month, you will die from it. This antidote was developed by me just a few days ago, and only I have it. If you quietly lurk near the Empress Dowager and monitor her every move, reporting back to me at any time, I will give you the antidote. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand! I will report to you truthfully," he replied.
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing nodded slightly and instructed a nearby guard, "Take him down to apply the medicine."
The assassin was then taken away while Luo Bingbing and the others discussed who the other assassin might be.
In the general's residence, Lan Zhiguang was conversing with a man dressed in a Black Brocade Robe and wearing a Black Hat. From his physique, it was clear he was a man.
