The Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhongzhou.
In the golden and splendid imperial palace, the Third Prince's face was as still as water as he held a secret letter in his hands. The letter was a message passed from Northern Yue, chronicling the attempt on King Qingyang's life by Huang Cheng and Zhao Yun.
"Two fools good for nothing but failure!" The Third Prince quickly finished reading the contents.
Then, with a casual twist of his hand, the secret letter was ignited, turning to ash and scattering with the wind.
His hands were clasped behind his back, his expression somber.
His gaze passed over the imposing walls of the courtyard, looking at the dim sky and the faint red sun sinking at the edge of the western horizon. He felt an indescribable restlessness in his heart, a suffocating gloom coursing through his chest.
From the start, the Third Prince had little faith in the success of Huang Cheng and Zhao Yun.
Nevertheless, their deaths had yielded some benefits.
