Kapitel 678: Assassination

Liao Wu and Jing Xin knew that it was impossible to completely absolve White Cloud Temple and Cleansing Water Nunnery of blame in this matter. All they could ask for was to define the nature of the matter as merely having personal dealings with a neighboring country. This was a much lighter crime than them assassinating Prince's family members and plotting a rebellion.

The former would only result in those in the know being held responsible. As for the latter, it might result in the deaths of nearly 1,000 monks and nuns in the temple and nunnery.

Mu Yangling asked, "Where's Miss Wang?"

Jing Xin hurriedly bowed and said, "She's still in the east courtyard. She's unconscious because she's running a high fever."
