Chapter 13 The Enigmatic Situation Emerges

The night in Chang'an was deep and thick. In the distance, the imperial palace loomed majestically, ablaze with brilliant lights, casting an air of solemnity and hostility.

Su Mingli straightened her clothes and looked at Xiao Jingxuan, asking, "Do you think this assassination attempt was aimed at you or at me?"

Xiao Jingxuan glanced at her quietly, his eyes profound. "That's not important. What matters is that our enemies are hiding deeper than we imagined."

Su Mingli let out a soft laugh and rubbed the edge of her sleeve with her fingers. "Then let's dig them out."

Xiao Jingxuan slightly raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "It seems you don't mind accompanying this prince to delve deeper into this game?"

Su Mingli looked at him, a hint of coldness in her eyes. "I don't like being treated as a pawn. So, in this game of chess, I want to be the one holding the pieces."

Xiao Jingxuan let out a low laugh, a trace of approval showing in his eyes. "Very well. This prince also wants to see how much of a stir you can create."

The carriage slowly came to a halt, and a shadow guard stepped forward to report in a low voice, "Your Highness, up ahead is Liuli Workshop. The invitation for tonight has already been delivered."

"Liuli Workshop?" Su Mingli furrowed her brows slightly and quickly searched her memory for relevant information.

Liuli Workshop was the most renowned place of pleasure in Chang'an. However, it was not just a brothel. It was rumored that the owner of the workshop was extremely mysterious and held a great deal of confidential information both inside and outside Chang'an. It was an intelligence hub that countless court officials and nobles secretly vied to win over.

Xiao Jingxuan tapped the wall of the carriage lightly and said enigmatically, "Tonight, there's probably going to be quite a show."
