"With his intelligence, it's impossible for him to overlook this point."
Shang Ruyi thought for a moment and nodded, "Makes sense. So, this time, the assassination of Pei Xingyuan—"
Yu Wenye said, "If I guessed correctly, it's just General Ningyuan and Lou Liangdi acting on their own, competing with the Crown Princess Consort and her daughter."
Shang Ruyi sneered, but in her heart, she was alarmed.
