Princess Longji is the Third Princess of the Vermilion Bird Empire, and the strongest and most powerful princess among all the Imperial Prince. She controls a terrifying force, and if she makes a move, it could shake the entire empire.
Many people believe that Princess Longji is the next person to inherit the throne, and if nothing unexpected happens, there is at least an 80% chance that she will.
Furthermore, Princess Longji was also outstanding in terms of political achievements, managing her territory exceptionally well, and generating the highest annual tax revenue in the entire empire.
This is not because her territory has high taxes; on the contrary, her taxes are the lowest!
Because of this, her reputation grew and her popularity among the people increased, which attracted the jealousy of some Imperial Prince who then united to deal with her.
Currently, the court of the Vermilion Bird Empire is divided into two main factions: one supporting Princess Longji and the other Royal Faction. However, the court is always full of disputes and factions, so this is not a new phenomenon, nor is it because of Princess Longji that this situation has arisen.
Even without Princess Longji and her group, the country would still be divided into several factions due to other reasons. This is the contradiction, a national contradiction that will never disappear!
If anyone wanted Princess Longji dead, there would be many in the Vermilion Bird Empire. At the forefront would definitely be the Imperial Prince, because this is a competition for the throne, a competition that has always been bloody!
However, among these people, there will definitely be no Cold-Blooded Group, because the Cold-Blooded Group will never participate in the struggle for the throne under any circumstances.
If there are spies within the empire, or if anyone plots against them, they will go and kill them without hesitation, even if they are princes Imperial Prince, as long as they have Cold-Blooded First's orders.
However, Princess Longji showed no signs of colluding with foreign enemies or plotting anything, so why would anyone want to kill her?
"Why do you all have so many questions? Just carry out your missions. Do I need to remind you of the Cold-Blooded Group's rules?" Cold-Blooded Second frowned. What's wrong with these two today? Cold-Blooded Seventh is one thing, but why is Cold-Blooded Fifth acting like this too?
Sigh, it must be because of this Cold-Blooded First Thousand and One, Cold -Cold-Blooded Fifth, how could you let this kid into your heart? By doing this, you've created a flaw.
How can an assassin have any flaws?!
"I want to know!" Cold-Blooded Fifth said coldly, looking at Cold-Blooded Second.
Cold-Blooded Second was silent for a moment before saying, "Alright, we actually have some evidence. Princess Longji disappears every now and then, and even those around her don't know where she goes. It's always the same; she disappears without a trace! However, Cold-Blooded First recently discovered that the place she goes to is our greatest enemy country!"
"..." Cold-Blooded Fifth silent; this information was enough for her to stop asking questions.
"You all know what's been happening lately, right? It might be related to her! Also, Cold-Blooded First has found out that Princess Longji is planning a terrible operation during the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration!" Cold-Blooded Second continued.
"No need to say anything more, I know! Tell me, how many people are in our operation this time, and is there any danger?" Cold-Blooded Fifth asked. Needless to say, she wouldn't ask these questions under normal circumstances.
Carrying out such a mission is, of course, very dangerous, and could cost you your life at any moment!
"Of course there is danger, and it won't be small. One wrong move and you could lose your life! Princess Longji is no ordinary person. She is a master herself, and she is surrounded by many experts. It will be very difficult to kill her!" Cold-Blooded Second said with a headache. She must have made a lot of arrangements for this matter.
"Even if you return to normal, it will be difficult to get close to her, and even if you succeed, it will be difficult to get away unscathed! But don't worry, this time is different. You don't need to lift a finger, and you don't need to worry about Cold-Blooded First and One. He's just controlling the puppet. If anything goes wrong, he can run away. He's so small, no one will be on guard!" Cold-Blooded Second continued.
Cold-Blooded Second is right. Even if Ye Lang goes on a mission, he only needs to control the puppet. He won't be doing anything himself. If there is any danger, he can easily run away.
"That's true, catching this little fool won't be an easy task... Uh, this little fool, while we're talking here, he's sleeping soundly!" When Cold-Blooded Fifth looked at Ye Lang, he found him lying on the puppet, sleeping soundly.
I'm sure he didn't hear a word of what was just said!
Cold-Blooded Fifth couldn't help but go over and kick him to vent his anger!
I'm worried about him, but he's not worried at all. It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is!
"Ah, are you done talking?" Ye Lang asked groggily after being kicked awake.
"Not yet, I'll say it again when you wake up!" Cold-Blooded Fifth said coldly.
"Ah... no way, I don't want to hear it. Do whatever you say, but you have to make sure that this Princess Longji is someone who deserves to die!" Ye Lang said, surprisingly agreeing to this mission.
As for his reason for agreeing, in his words, he had taken so many benefits from the Cold-Blooded Group and even seized their puppet, so he might as well help them complete a mission.
Besides, if I want to leave, I need to leave this place. This is a good opportunity to escape, or rather, leave!
It seems that the latter reason is the most important one!
"Yes!" Cold-Blooded Second nodded. At least in their opinion, Princess Longji was someone who deserved to die, while others would naturally have other ideas.
"That's fine then. I'm sure you'll handle the arrangements. Just let me know what to do then. I'm leaving now!" Ye Lang said and left, leaving behind a final sentence—
"I hate meetings the most!!"
"Me too..."
Cold-Blooded Fifth originally wanted to stay and listen, but then he thought that Cold-Blooded Second would be able to arrange these things. She was much more capable of this than he was. In the past, when he was on a mission alone, Leng Xue Er had helped him plan it.
Cold-Blooded Second Cold-Blooded Fifth still had absolute trust in Leng Xue Er, so she wouldn't doubt whether Cold-Blooded Second's words were true or not; for her, that was completely unnecessary.
"I don't need it, I don't understand these things!" Little Zero raised her hand and then took her leave.
"..." Cold-Blooded Second remained silent.
Forget it, there's no point in them staying. Let them go!
