Dreamscape Reveals the Truth

After leaving, Zhao Han followed Yun Ling'er's instructions and stayed with Chief Steward Niu.

But when daytime came, Zhao Han wanted to go out and gather information, only to be watched like a hawk by Chief Steward Niu.

To keep Yun Ling'er from growing suspicious, Zhao Han stayed in and dutifully followed Chief Steward Niu around, learning from him until Yun Ling'er returned to Cloud Phoenix Palace that evening.

Word of last night's events had spread throughout the palace. Imperial Guards had been stationed all over the palace grounds, guarding every hall and pavilion.

Forget flies—even mosquitoes would be questioned if they tried to get in.

Even when Yun Ling'er returned in the Phoenix Carriage, she was escorted by a large number of Imperial Guards.

Inside Cloud Phoenix Palace.

Yun Ling'er was still reclining against the phoenix couch in the same pose as before.

Zhao Han put on a fierce expression and said:

"Big sister, tonight I'll take the dog emperor's head for you. Just wait a moment."

Yun Ling'er waved a hand.

"Hold on. You assassinated Consort Li yesterday, so His Majesty will have tight security around him from now on. If you try to assassinate him today, won't you just be throwing your life away?"

Zhao Han smiled confidently and retorted, "I see every guard in the palace as no more than weeds. I can kill them with a wave of my hand."

"Just wait for good news, big sister."

With that, Zhao Han set off alone.

He didn't bring along the Four Guards of Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning. They would only be dead weight, easy to kill with a wave of his hand.

"Your Highness, this..." Wind stepped forward, wanting to speak but hesitating.

"You don't need to get involved. I believe in my little brother!"
