"What!?" Mo Qin Yi raised his voice as his brows locked together tightly. "How is that possible there was someone broke into the tight security of our dungeon!?" He didn"t really need the a.s.sa.s.sin after he had pointed out the person who had wrongly used his name, but the news about the prison break was. .h.i.t him greatly.He was always so proud of his the securities that he had been built for the dungeon, that was why he was so livid.
Before he dashed out of the room, leaving all the mess that he had created behind, he ordered his guard in impa.s.sive voice. "Kill that man." He nodded at the man, who had come to report.
"Crown prince! This servant is not at fault… please show some mercy on me…" That man cried, didn"t know which part of him that was wrong in Mo Qin Yi"s eyes. He even wasn"t on the spot when someone barged into the dungeon.
He was sent here only to give Mo Qin Yi a report, but how he ended receiving a death sentence instead?
"Crown prince…" The man was panic when the guard was approaching him with sword unsheathed in his hand. "This servant…" He didn"t have a chance to finish his words before a sharp blade slit his throat open.
Zhao Tianqi, who witnessed the quick brutal scene before her eyes let out an ear- piercing screamed as the man"s blood splashed on her face.
Even in his death, he didn"t know what he had done wrong.
The guard who had done his job also asked the same question, why this innocent man should be dead when he didn"t even did anything wrong. He had just done that because his master gave him an order and he didn"t have any right to disobey otherwise it would be him, who lied motionlessly on the floor with blood pooled around his body.
No one would know the answer except Mo Qin Yi himself. The only reason that guard should be dead because he wasn"t his man and he had witnessed him tortured Zhao Tianqi, unfortunately.
Mo Qin Yi dashed out of his courtyard, straight to the dungeon. He had to make sure Zhao Tianqi"s personal guard was there and no one could barge in again.
This was a brazen act!

In the middle of the death night, five figures were running swiftly between the trees and in the empty road.
One man was running while carrying a half conscious man on his shoulder. The man kept made a low grunted noise whenever the person who was carrying him stopped abruptly or made a sudden move, because he would be in great pain.
When the small group of five men stopped at end of the road, he put down the man that he was carrying and pulled down the mask that covered his face.
"You can leave now." It was Liu Wei.
Xiao Jun had ordered him to barge into the dungeon and freed the a.s.sa.s.sin. It wasn"t a wise move, but it would keep Mo Qin Yi"s focus was on the investigation and his scheming wife.
It would take much of his time, so he wouldn"t bother Qianru anymore.
Xiao Jun wanted to give all the people that hinted to hurt Qianru a headache and as much as problem to keep they occupied.
He would be more at ease that way.
"You…" The a.s.sa.s.sin was squinted his eyes and looked the familiar person before him. "You set me free…?" He asked in disbelief.
"Yes." Liu Wei pointed to direction behind him. "Go far away from here, there is some money there to sustain your life for weeks." He was pointing at the black horse behind his body.
That man turned his head and was stunned. "Thank you for your generosity…" He banged his head on the ground with grat.i.tude. He thought he would be death tonight and only able to go out from that scary dungeon only in dead body.
"This is my master generosity. You better go now, if the crown prince"s people catch you, it will not my responsible anymore." Liu Wei said coldly and pulled up his masked before he turned around and said to the other four guards, who came with him. "Let"s go."
"Thank you, thank you for your master generosity…" The a.s.sa.s.sin has tear on his eyes, he didn"t believe he will be alive.
Only when Liu Wei and his subordinates were out of sight, the a.s.sa.s.sin got up on his feet and rode the horse to the north, away from this country and the influence of Mo Qin Yi. He would never comeback again.

The initial cold dungeon turned even colder when Mo Qin Yi stepped inside with bloodthirsty aura surrounding him. He looked around to see how much damaged that had been caused because of the intruders.
There were three guards badly injured while the remaining guards were lying on the floor unconscious.
Zhao Tianqi"s personal guard was still locked inside his cell with arms and legs chained to the wall, however the cell opposite him had been busted down, it was a cell that was holding the a.s.sa.s.sin.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
There was no other damage from other cell, it was only this, so it was easy to conclude that this intruders" aim was only the a.s.sa.s.sin, even though they could save Zhao Tianqi"s personal guard as well.
"There were five men who came and turned this place upside down." The warden"s head informed Mo Qin Yi, he was very afraid that this prince would throw a fit and demanded his head.
"Gather people and bring them out to look for that man." Mo Qin Yi ordered rigidly. "He will not be so far with that wound and injuries." He still didn"t believe that he couldn"t catch his prisoner again.
However, his calculation was wrong in this case, because he would spend weeks to look for the a.s.sa.s.sin with no avail, as if he had disappeared from this world.

Morning came so early for some people, but so long for the other.
After the unpleasant birthday banquet that initially to celebrate the Empress birthday but turned out to be a chaos, the Empress was so livid and it wasn"t sure to whom her anger was directed.
However, no matter how stormy and tense the atmosphere in the palace right now, Xiao Jun still woke up early in the morning with light heart, especially when he saw Qianru beside him. He kissed her forehead softly so he wouldn"t wake her up and got off from the bed.
He would let her to sleep longer, she needed that, their baby needed that.
Once Xiao Jun tied his outer robe, he walked toward the pavilion and immediately the servant served him his morning tea.
"Master, that man has escaped, he was heading to the north." Liu Wei stood behind him while he gave Xiao Jun the report that he needed.
"Good job." Xiao Jun said while brewing his tea. "If there is no anything else, you can take a rest."
Liu Wei was touched with his master kindness, but he couldn"t rest now, because there was another thing. "Master, Prince Xiao Tianyao sent you this letter." Liu Wei stepped forward and put down the letter on the table, in front of Xiao Jun.
