She told him that Xue Yan would go to the military camp outside the city tomorrow and just wanted him to believe her. Perhaps this was the time he could kill Xue Yan?

Besides, Empress Beicheng wouldn’t send someone with low skills to do these things, right?

“You’re leading the way for me into a ditch. Once something goes wrong, you’ll leave me. Who will come save me then?” Sun Ai said.

“If you don’t come with me, I’ll kill you,” Sun Ai threatened. As he spoke, he picked up the dagger again.

“I’ll do it, please, don’t kill me,” Shao Yucen hurriedly said in fear.

She was certain she would hide the moment anything went wrong. Moreover, as long as no one caught her on the spot, even if Sun Ai was caught alive and confessed that she was helping him,, no one would believe it.

After all, other than a confession, there was no concrete evidence that they knew each other..

She was the direct daughter of the Shao family. Everyone knew that the Shao family had been loyal for generations and would never betray the Emperor… At that time, everyone would definitely think that Sun Ai was just busy pointing fingers trying to save himself.

At this moment, Sun Ai’s injuries were treated…

Originally, he was still thinking about whether he should return to the inn, lest the people in the same room found out that his blanket was actually empty and that he wasn’t here. However, after some thought, since he was going to assassinate Xue Yan tomorrow morning, then it didn’t matter if he went back tonight or not.

Even if the person in the same room found out that he was not there, he would report it to the higher-ups, who were from Beicheng.

His sudden disappearance would be too suspicious. The Beicheng people were not st*pid enough to tell the Da Ling people about it.

If they knew that someone had sneaked into the Ministry of Works tonight, they would not tell them about a missing person lest the people of Da Ling thought it was the Beicheng that committed this crime. Because if they were to say that, Da Ling would immediately suspect that the theft could be related to Beicheng.

Beicheng would never want to make themselves an enemy!

Even if he couldn’t hide forever, he could still hold out until tomorrow morning.

Since that was the case, why should he return to the inn?

With this thought in mind, Sun Ai slept in Shao Yucen’s room. He even slept on the bed. Shao Yucen was not allowed to go to the outer room, so she could only sleep on the floor.

However, with Sun Ai lying on the bed, how could she sleep? She did not even dare to lie down. She only leaned against the lamp stand in the inner room and sat with her arms around her knees. She was still trembling as she waited for the sky to brighten up.

…

In the palace, Xue Yan overheard that someone had sneaked into the Ministry of Works and almost stolen the gunpowder and cannon blueprints. He also heard that someone was injured, and even more so that the Ministry of Works official had already brought people to chase after him.

The Minister of Works had arrived in a hurry along with Shao Zhongxi by their side.

Shao Zhongxi had heard it from his subordinate. His subordinate helped the Minister of Works tail the culprit, but he did not manage to find him. As this matter was of utmost importance, one of them immediately came to report to him.

The Minister of Works and Shao Zhongxi said that catching him was unsuccessful. The blood trail suddenly disappeared, and that they must have been deliberately lured somewhere else. Now, the person’s whereabouts were unknown.

Xue Yan muttered to himself.

It had been a long time since anyone dared to enter the Ministry of Works to steal gunpowder and cannon blueprints. Everyone knew that it was heavily guarded and there was no way they could return.

This happened not long after the Beicheng diplomatic team arrived…

He didn’t suspect Fu Ying to be the culprit, but he suspected the people she brought with her. Moreover, even if there was no problem with any of the people that Fu Ying had brought, there should be someone who wanted to use this to make him suspect Beicheng and ruin the collaboration. They did not want the two countries to be friendly…
