As the man breathed his last, his face showed a smile of relief. Compared to death, Jun Xie's elixir was much more unbearable to him.
"Why would the Empress' lover want to kill you?" Qiao Chu asked, looking at Jun Xie. They had not met the Fire Country's Prime Minister before, but from what Lei Chen had told them, the Fire Country's Prime Minister was the one who had an illicit relationship with the Empress and had given birth to the Fourth Prince, Lei Fan.
Jun Xie had not even met the Fire Country's Empress, much less seen the Prime Minister. The only person she had interacted with was the Fourth Prince, Lei Fan. Why would the Prime Minister suddenly want to kill her?
"Could the Fourth Prince's biological father have killed the wrong person? I remember at the banquet last night, Lei Fan had been trying to win you over and was just short of asking you to submit to him in front of everyone. Why is it that after just one night, his father is sending people to take your life? "Qiao Chu was getting more confused the more he thought about it.
"He did not kill the wrong person." Jun Xie said softly.
"No?" Fan Zhuo raised an eyebrow. "You went to the Imperial Garden with Lei Fan that day but when you came back, you appeared together with the Grand Adviser. Lei Fan suddenly felt unwell in the Imperial Garden, that must have been your doing right?"
Jun Wu Xie nodded. "I have neutralized his disguise."
Immediately, the youths at the table all stared at Jun Xie with wide eyes.
"Disguise? What does that mean? "Qiao Chu was even more confused.
Fei Yan then said: "I told Little Xie last night that Lei Fan looks rather strange. He is obviously the Empress' child but he looks exactly like the Emperor's sweetheart. There must be something fishy going on. But I had not thought that Little Xie would act so quickly, to actually verify the matter last night."
"That explains it." Fan Zhuo said with a laugh: "Lei Fan must have realized that his real face has been seen through by you and although he has tried to win you over, you have always rejected his invitations. Moreover, you are on good terms with Lei Chen on the surface and to prevent you from divulging the news of his disguise to Lei Chen, he will definitely not let you live. The Prime Minister's actions must have been directed by Lei Fan or the Empress. "
Although Lei Chen knew of Lei Fan's true identity and he felt that Lei Fan's looks were a little strange, but he was unable to expose it and could only keep it to himself.
Now that Jun Xie had so easily neutralized Lei Fan's Face Changing Technique, he would only need to drag Lei Fan before the Emperor, and with just a little bit of provocation, the Emperor's face would immediately turn as black as the bottom of a pot!
"Looks like by now, Lei Fan, the Empress and the Prime Minister are all intent on killing you. Even if they did not succeed today, they will not let you off easily in the days to come." Fan Zhuo said as he rubbed at his chin, not worried that Jun Xie would fall into their trap.
Jun Wu Xie suddenly said: "The people who want to make a move against me, I'm afraid it's not just the three of them."
"What? Who else can it be? " Qiao Chu's eyes widened. Jun Xie had, in just one night, offended the Fire Country's Empress, the most favoured Prince, and the Prime Minister who was the head of all the officials. Jun Xie's ability to taunt and ridicule could already be considered to be one of a kind, but he was actually saying that there were still people who wanted to make a move against him?
Jun Wu Xie raised her hand and revealed the ring on her finger to everyone present.
"Did any of you notice yesterday, that the Emperor seemed to be highly interested in this ring of mine?"
Everyone immediately nodded. This ring had been brought out from the bottom of the Heaven's End Cliff and Jun Xie had learnt from the words that the original owner of the ring had left behind in the stone house that she had gained enlightenment on the method to temporarily raise her spirit power.
It could be said, that this ring held an extraordinary significance to Jun Xie.
