Chapter 516 Assassination

"No!" The Sword Saint of the Wind refused directly: "The teacher has not made a clear statement yet to support Catherine. It is useless to show our kindness now. It is better to wait and see. If the teacher is really angry by the third prince and has to support Catherine, he will definitely come to us. We will just come to you. But if the teacher still decides to support Catherine, then we will say that we support Catherine in the past, isn't it uncomfortable?"

"Yes, I'm confused!" The heavy armored sword saint nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

"Of course I can't forget you. After so many years of hard work, we are already like one, so we will naturally advance and retreat together!" said the Sword Saint of the Breaking Wind.

"Haha!" The two then burst into laughter.

Qingquan Palace is thirty miles away from the emperor. Lao Xie and his group rushed here quickly and finally arrived at noon. When it comes to the scenery, it is really nothing to say here. The entire palace is in a natural spring, so the architects have many fountain sculptures and pools of different shapes in the palace, even in the house, the green mountains outside and the green water in the palace, and there is a natural scenery everywhere.

Although Qingquan Palace has been in disrepair for a long time, because Catherine is coming to live, the stingy royal family has to send someone to clean it up for the sake of the royal family. At least it looks like that outside. Of course, the royal family is naturally very careful when serving it. However, inside, part of Catherine's daily life is just a careless one. Catherine's big bed is even old, but there is only a new bed. There are traces of repair on the walls, the whole house is dilapidated, and the air is also full of tide. How could this be used as a place for the princess to live in? It is almost the same as a prison.

Seeing this, Constantine and Vivian were so angry that they were so angry. Vivian was low in status and didn't dare to do anything, but Constantine didn't have to worry at all. She arrested the person in charge here and scolded him.

The person in charge was an old woman, and she looked quite honest. Facing Constantine's rebuke, she was just a helpless defense, obviously just a scapegoat.

Seeing this, Catherine immediately stopped Constantine, and then smiled bitterly: "Don't make things difficult for her. She is one of the few people in the palace who are good to me. I believe that she can't do anything about this time!"

"She is good to you?" Constantine immediately said in confusion: "What's going on?"

"She used to be my mother's maid. She had received favor from my mother, so she kept taking care of me in the palace and suffered a lot of hardships!" Catherine said, looking at the other party apologetically, then greeted him with a smile!

"Princess. This is all right!" the man immediately said gratefully.

"No!" Constantine suddenly said: "If they want to deal with you, they should shoot a confidant, so that they can easily plot against you? How could they send someone to you? This is so strange!"

"This~" Katherine was puzzled after hearing this.

Only Lao Xie smiled and said, "This is not strange, it's a very simple thing! Come on. Don't be outside, let's go in and talk!" As he said that, Lao Xie took the three girls to the living room.

After everyone sat down, the person in charge quickly prepared the refreshment. Catherine asked in confusion: "Dear, you haven't said why they sent my people!"

"The reason is very simple!" Lao Xie sneered: "Actually you should have thought of it, but you seem to have forgotten the shadow assassin!"

"Ah!" Catherine immediately exclaimed, "Yes, I forgot them!"

"I understand too!" Constantine also learned about the shadow assassin from Lao Xie's mouth. After hearing Lao Xie's reminder, he naturally figured out the mystery.

"What are you fighting for?" Vivian said in confusion.

"It's very simple. You think that if Catherine is suddenly assassinated, then all the people here, whether they are the person in charge, the guards, and the servants, obviously must be buried with them!" Lao Xie sneered: "When you know that people will die, some guys will certainly not send their confidants to bury them with them! So this Catherine's confidant naturally became the first choice. Their purpose is not to let her serve Catherine, but to let her die with Catherine!"

"Ah!" Vivian immediately exclaimed: "Oh my God, is anyone going to assassinate Princess Catherine?"

"This is already very obvious!" Lao Xie sneered: "First, he brought Catherine to such a broken place, with few people coming. If he was assassinated, there would be no one to find a rescue. Later, he sent Catherine's confidant to serve her. On the surface, his highness and righteousness were the most important thing. Didn't he secretly want them to catch them all in one go?"

"It's so scary!" Vivian hurriedly said, "No, Sister Catherine can't be here anymore, why don't we go?"

"Go? Where to go?" Lao Xie sneered: "The emperor's order is to put Catherine under house arrest. If he leaves privately, it would be a serious crime of disrespect. Once that step is reached, they can completely deal with Catherine with justification! Even the power of assassination is saved!"

"But Princess Catherine is obviously in danger?" Vivian said: "It is reasonable to leave temporarily under the threat of the assassin?"

"But the problem is that we know that an assassin is coming, but there is no evidence. Even if they know this, they will pretend not to know and still label Catherine with an anti-order!" Lao Xie sneered: "So it is impossible to leave!"

"Why is it impossible?" Constantine immediately said dissatisfied: "As far as I know, you don't seem to care much about the imperial edict, right? So what if you disobey? Are you still afraid that the emperor will arrest you?"

"That's it!" Vivian immediately said: "Last time Princess Catherine blinded the third prince's eyes and was wanted nationwide. Don't you protect her well?"

"Haha!" Lao Xie smiled slightly and said, "Of course I can protect Catherine very well, but the problem is that once we do this, we will be demoted, which is equivalent to putting Catherine on the hat of opposition! In that case, Catherine's reputation will be greatly hit, and the prestige she had finally established will collapse, which will fulfill the wishes of the third prince! I will not do such a fool!"

"That's right!" Constantine suddenly said, "Dear, it seems that you are ready?"

"Hehe, that's right!" Lao Xie sneered: "I'm not a soft guy who can be bullied! Anyone who dares to provoke me must pay a heavy price!"

"What are you going to do?" Constantine asked curiously immediately.

"You will know tomorrow!" Lao Xie smiled slightly, and then said, "Remember, you will go back later. Rumors are in the aristocratic circle that I am extremely dissatisfied with Catherine's living conditions, and I plan to move out tomorrow!"

"Hey, didn't you say that doing this will damage Catherine's reputation? Why did I pass the message again?" Constantine said in confusion.

"Haha, of course I'm a fraud. The purpose is to force them to take advantage of the time we live here today. Otherwise, when we return to the magic tower, even the Shadow Sword Saint would not dare to go there!" Lao Xie then smiled and explained, "You must know that living in this broken place for one day is enough. I don't want to stay for too long, so I have to urge those killers!"

"I understand!" Constantine immediately smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's go back now. Don't worry, we will let all the nobles of the empire know about this!"

"Oh, take a little longer!" Catherine hurriedly persuaded.

"No need, the matter is important!" Constantine said, and then stood up with Vivian and walked out. Lao Xie and Catherine hurried to see him off. At the same time, Lao Xie also reminded Constantine to pay attention.

Lao Xie was quite relieved about Constantine's ability, so after sending them away, Lao Xie said directly: "Okay, let's prepare too!"

"What are you preparing for?" Catherine curled her lips and said, "With Patton here, how many people come here are not going to die?"

"That won't work. I can't let Patton take action today!" Lao Xie immediately shook his head.

"Don't ask Patton to take action?" Catherine immediately said in confusion: "Why is this? Are you still afraid that they will run away and reveal Patton's secret?"

"Of course not. I don't think those idiots can escape under the hands of level 8 creatures. Even if Shadow Sword Saint comes personally, they will definitely die without life!" Lao Xie then said, "But the problem is that Shadow Sword Saint will not come in person tonight. After all, your princess is too sensitive. As long as he is not an idiot, he will not commit the crime of assassinating the princess himself. It will not benefit him. Instead, it will arouse the anger of my old man. Even those who have received your favor on the mainland may not spare him lightly! So he will probably send his saint-level men to come. At worst, he can silence him in the future and push it clean!"

"But, I still don't understand why you don't allow Patton to take action!" Catherine said in confusion.

"Because my target is not the little fish, but the hand behind the scenes!" Lao Xie said fiercely.

"Oh!" Catherine suddenly said, "I seem to understand!"

"Haha, just understand! Come on, help me!" Lao Xie smiled and took Catherine's hand and ran into the bedroom.

Late at night that day, two black shadows suddenly appeared outside Qingquan Palace, easily crossing the cordon of the outer palace guards and sneaking into the palace.

Not only are these two guys extremely skilled, but the most important thing is that they seem to be extremely familiar with everything here. Whether it is the patrol route of the palace guards or the terrain of the Qingquan Palace, they seem to be clear about it. Only then can they sneak into the Qingquan Palace so easily, and they are not spared at all. In the complex palace, they head straight to Catherine's bedroom.
