As an old proverb goes, "Some are joyous while others are down." Indeed, as Xiao Moxian was pleased that Wang Jingyuan was set free, a different reaction took place in another corner of the Capital.
"Useless idiots!" The secret report was crumpled without mercy and thrown to the ground in a fit of rage. "It is just killing a little girl, and yet none of you could accomplish this!"
The four men dressed from head to toe in black immediately dropped onto one knee and bowed down to the furious Fourth Prince before them.
One of the men in black, seemingly the leader, tried to explain. "Your Highness, we proceeded exactly as you ordered and the plan was set into motion perfectly. We saw with our own eyes that Wang Jingyuan was thrown into prison. We watched the trial and had our eyewitnesses pin everything on her and her fellow pupils. They were already sentenced to death, but somehow she was released the very same night."
"Why was she released?"
Fun fact: “Jueming”, the name of the Fourth Prince’s secret guard, directly translates to “end life”. Because he kills people and ends lives :D
