‘Where did I find them, huh?’ Xie Xuanchen looked at Jiang Mingwei without any expression.
Even the Emperor didn’t ask about that, but Jiang Mingwei dared to interrupt.
‘This foolish woman…’
The Empress, who was raging in her heart, gave Jiang Mingwei a fierce look. Jiang Mingwei immediately bowed her head and tried to apologise in a low voice :“Your Highness…”

‘Oh~ It turned out to be the street between Xuande Gate and Zhuque Gate. The Donghua Gate is located in another direction.’ Jiang Mingwei frowned unconsciously.
After listening to Xie Xuanchen’s earlier words, Jiang Mingwei first thought that Xie Xuanchen also knew about the book which she read in her previous life, but after she got to know where the attempt of assassination took place, she was sure that Xie Xuanchen was not a reborn like her.
If Xie Xuanchen was actually reborn, he would have definitely known the plot and would have gone towards the Donghua Gate to stop the accident.
‘It is so strange. How… and why does it end up causing such a big mess?’ Jiang Mingwei still could not believe what happened today. The things that had transpired today were beyond her imagination.
While Jiang Mingwei was caught in a dilemma, the Emperor listened to the eunuch’s report. The guards had indeed caught some people at the place Xie Xuanchen mentioned so he was really telling the truth.
Since this matter was true, the Emperor became more curious: “Prince An, how do you know that they are spies?”
Mu Mingtang had been listening to everything quietly all this time as if she was a wallflower. When she heard the Emperor’s question, she also showed a questioning expression.
Xie Xuanchen suddenly started to smile and his eyes showed clear disdain, “I believe they had their eyes set on Xuande Square for a long time because the moment I went out of the tower, I noticed their gazes following me. Later, they also looked for an opportunity to create an accident to separate the Imperial Guards from us, probably trying to take the opportunity to ambush me.”
Hearing this, everyone present showed a startled expression. Xie Xuanchen sneered and continued sarcastically: “Unfortunately for them, they had chosen the wrong person to mess up with. Now, as a result, they are lying in the prison.”
The Emperor was speechless. ‘Who dared to think of ambushing Xie Xuanchen… They are really fearless…’
‘Could it be that Xie Xuanchen’s actions had changed the plot?’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn Jiang Mingwei’s previous life, Xie Xuanchen was not present at the tower while Mu Mingtang was not Princess An but Princess Jin. Naturally, no one went downstairs and walked on the streets like Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang did today. In the end, the spies, who were lurking around Xuande Gate, could only set fire on the palace as they planned. After all, they could not ambush or assassinate any royal family members on the Xuande Gate Tower because of its tight security.
However, in this life, Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang left the tower in front of everyone’s eyes. Since those inside the tower could see this, then obviously those outside could also.
Those spies must have altered their plans and followed Xie Xuanchen instead as they must have guessed that Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang were royalties. If they could kidnap Xie Xuanchen and use him as a hostage, then it would be very easy for them to enter the forbidden areas.
Other than that, they had also underestimated Xie Xuanchen’s strength because of his delicate appearance. They must have thought of him as a sheltered and weak Prince. Who knew that Xie Xuanchen was actually ‘the God of War.’
Finally, Jiang Mingwei understood the situation and suddenly felt cold air blowing around her. Similar to the book, they were standing in the exact place, at the exact time, and even the weather was the same but there was no fire this time.
Many unexpected things happened tonight, and the emperor no longer had the heart to enjoy the festival. So, he excused himself and left the crowd.
After the Emperor’s departure, Xie Xuanchen took Mu Mingtang back home. When they were downstairs, Mu Mingtang saw Jiang Mingwei was standing with a black face shivering in the wind.
Jiang Mingwei had messed up everything this time.
