"I've sent someone to retrieve it from your study," Chu Yihan said indifferently, directing Xiao Yu to draw a map of the Xiao family's grounds to facilitate the actions of the Shadow Guards.
Xiao Yu drew the map, but he said, "For this mission, it would be best if the empress goes."
"Why?" Chu Yihan frowned.
"My Seventh Brother is still trapped at home by Xiao Muyan. Xiao Muyan will surely cast a spell on him, and only the empress can save him. With him alive in the Xiao family, he can serve as our inside agent."
A cold look flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes. Even though his appearance was gaunt and he had lost his former radiance, he still maintained an air of unruffled composure.
Su Yingxue after some thought, "He's right, we can't just let Xiao Qingyu be sacrificed in vain. He's also a valuable asset to us, and moreover, I can take Seventeen with me!"
Her gaze shifted outside the window, where a black figure stood, ready to serve her at any moment.
