201. Suspicion

Third-person POV

The night after Meiyun left Di Shang*

In an isolated alley in the Royal Palace, a woman and a man dressed like servants whispering to each other.

Man: "Listen to me, smear this on the …. and serve it to the Empress 2 days from now."

The woman was visibly trembling.

Man: "Don't hesitate or I will kill all of your family!"

Woman: "Pl-please don't! I-I will do it!"

Man: "Good.  Make sure she ….. like what I told you. I will immediately kill you and your family if you mess this up."

The man glared at the woman before he disappeared into thin air. He easily slipped out from the Royal Palace with the back door that was guarded by his own peers. Then he went into a glamorous inn located in the middle of Chang An.

He entered a VIP room and sat on a chair. There was a divider across the room and he could see a silhouette of a petite woman from his position.
