Tian Shi gave a small smile but did not respond.
"I think the disciple of the Holy Church of Light is really one of the maids," Lu Yurong said.
"Miss Lu is very smart," Tian Shi said. "It's a shame that smart people never live long."
Lu Yurong said, "Do you actually want to kill His Royal Highness? Or are you just trying to protect that disciple of the Holy Church of Light?"
Tian Shi remained silent.
Lu Yurong smiled. "If you want to save that disciple of the Holy Church of Light, we can think about sparing her life. However, you'll have to give up on your revenge. Her life will be exchanged with yours. You'll remain working in the imperial residence. How does that sound?"
Tian Shi frowned at her.
He mused at how frightening Lu Yurong was. She was vicious in her calculations.
He contemplated in his heart. Was he here to save her, or was he here to take his revenge on King Jing?
