Inside the Jiang's residence, Jiang Xiao Tian was in his study with his father, the old general, Jiang Huan . Xiao Tian was reading a letter sent by his elder brother, Xiao Xian silently . After a while, he tore the letter into two and threw it into the brazier .
"What did your brother say?" Jiang Huan asked .
Jiang Xiao Tian frowned as he looked at his father . "Elder brother agreed . I should continue with the plan . "
Jiang Huan nodded . "Then, you go ahead . Prince Jing has been a thorn in the flesh for the Princess . It's time for us to help Her Highness to remove him . " the Old General took a deep breath before he spoke again . "His Majesty is too softhearted . He should do something to stop Prince Jing the first time the Prince tried to harm the Princess . "
"The Emperor valued his relationship with his younger brother, Prince Yi so much," Jiang Xiao Tian commented . His tone showed his frustration . "He loved the Princess, but he will not do anything that will upset Prince Yi . "
"We can't blame His Majesty . Harming Prince Jing will only harm the Emperor's relationship with his brother . " Jiang Huan said . "Back then, the competition between the five princes were fierce . With Prince Yi's help, the Emperor ascended the throne . "
Jiang Xiao Tian looked at his father as the old man started to reminisce his past . Back then, the Old General Jiang was among the Emperor's supporters and had fought alongside the Emperor and Prince Yi for the throne .
"His Majesty must be in a predicament as well," Jiang Huan said .
"Everything will be too late if Prince Jing's plan succeed . " Jiang Xiao Tian sneered . Then, he walked out to return to his room .
Although Xiao Tian was directly under the Emperor's command, there were certain things that he did not agree with the Emperor's decision . Especially when it involved the Princess . As Princess Lingchen and Mingyue was only a year apart, Xiao Tian considered the Princess as his little sister .
When Jiang Xiao Tian entered his room, a man dressed in black appeared beside him .
The man stayed in kneeling position as he waited for Jiang Xiao Tian to speak . However, Xiao Tian only stood there while he fiddled with a rolled paper in his hand .
A few minutes and Jiang Xiao Tian turned around . He stepped closer to the man and handed over the paper in his hand . "Tonight, just do as we plan . Don't make any mistake . Destroy any evidence that could trace it back to us . If you're caught," he bit his lips . "You know what to do . "
The man in black took the token and bowed, "I will not disappoint you, Master . " In a flash, he disappeared .
Jiang Xiao Tian took a deep breath as he thought over his decision .
As the head of His Majesty's secret agent, Jiang Xiao Tian held a lot of valuable information which some of them were hidden even from the Emperor himself . He knew most of the ministers' secrets and wrongdoings . As long as there was a trail, Jiang Xiao Tian would definitely follow them .
However, there are a few of them who were too careful, like Prince Jing and a few high ranked ministers . With Prince Jing, no matter how long Jiang Xiao Tian had been investigating him, he could not find anything that could lead the Prince into trouble with the Emperor .
Since they could not find anything worthy to make the Emperor act against Prince Jing, then they will have to create something .
At first, Jiang Xiao Tian did not want to harm Prince Jing in this way .
However, Prince Jing gave him no other choice . The Prince has not stopped trying to hurt the Princess . This was not the first or the second time that Prince Jing had tried to harm the Princess .
His sister, Mingyue, had worked for years, trying to gather the herbs to treat the Princess . While assembling the last ingredients needed, Mingyue has disappeared . But Prince Jing's action had made Mingyue's hard work go to waste .
It was time for them to do something before the Prince pushed the Princess to her death .
Jiang Xiao Tian changed his clothes and headed out . He entered the carriage and headed towards the Imperial Guest House where Prince Lu Wei had stayed for the last couple of months . Xiao Tian has been planning to visit the Prince of Qian Rong for sometimes and only had his chance now .
Xiao Tian talked with a servant before the servant led him into a waiting hall . After a few minutes, another servant walked in with a tray of refreshment and announced that Prince Lu Wei would come in shortly .
He did not have to wait for long until Prince Lu Wei showed up .
Prince Lu Wei gave Jiang Xiao Tian a look over as he walked into the room . "Mister Jiang," his lips curved into a polite smile . "I didn't know what brings you here?"
