In this world, there is a woman who could move me so deeply.

Yelü Shenxuan's status allowed him to summon and dismiss any woman he desired.

Moreover, it is customary among the Lia people for women to be treated like garments, readily replaceable at will.

Even he took a liking to the wives of certain ministers and could call them over to sleep with him.

The minister wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it yet.

On the prairie, the rule is survival of the fittest. The strong have everything.

In Liao, this was especially true for women.

But Yelü Shenxuan knew clearly that the woman he had caught a glimpse of just now was absolutely not someone he could casually obtain.

That's just it, that's what makes him yearn for her.

"Prince."

A middle-aged man returned to Yelü Shenxuan's presence and raised his hand, saying in a heavy voice.

The wound on his knuckles was gruesome and terrifying, but he seemed completely oblivious to it.

From his attitude, it's clear that he is completely different from others and isn't as reserved in front of Yelu Shenxuan.

Yelü Shenxuan said, "What just happened"

The female assassin killed the Ninth Prince.

Yuan Shidao's one sentence made Yelu Shenxuan furious.

Under such heavy protection, how could someone still kill the Ninth Prince!

Yelü Guguzhan is already a half-waste, even a disgrace to the Liao kingdom.

But regardless, he was the renowned Ninth Prince of Liaoning.

Otherwise, Liao would not have paid such a high price to exchange him back.

Originally, according to Yelü Shenxuan's plan, was to go back and immediately remove all of Yelü Guzanqi's positions after returning, nullifying his power, and then gradually retire his influence.

As for Yelü Guzanqi, just treat him like a useless piece of trash and let him die in poverty.

Now that Yelü Guguzhi is dead, the face of the Liao Kingdom has been slapped.

Never had Yelu Shenxuan suffered such a crushing defeat. Enraged, he turned his head to the hunched old man and demanded, "Your rooms are right next to the Ninth Prince's! Why could someone kill the Ninth Prince under our noses! Give me an explanation!"

That frail old man's face was now as white as a sheet. He said, "Your Highness, when we sensed something amiss, our first instinct was to come and protect you. But that female assassin was so cunning, she deliberately created a big commotion, just to lure us away from your side and into her trap. Her true target was actually the Ninth Prince."

Yelü Shenxuan's anger surged, and he wanted to order the execution of this useless wretch. However, considering the current situation, one more master meant one more layer of protection. Therefore, Yelü Shenxuan forcibly suppressed his rage.

Seeing Yelu Shenxuan's expression as if he were about to eat people, the few remaining people present looked at each other in dismay, none daring to speak.

"Finally, Yuan Shidao took the initiative to speak: "Your Highness, what should we do now"

Taking a deep breath, Yelu Shenxuan gritted his teeth and said, "Let's see how many are still alive at the scene."

Seeing others around him checking on the surviving officials, Yelvx Shenxuan continued coldly, "This assassination attempt was orchestrated by Li Chen. No one else had the motive or ability to carry it out. His aim was to use this as a warning, a show of force. It seems he doesn't want us to remain in the capital."

Yuan Shidao frowned slightly, then arrogantly said: "When has my Liao country ever suffered such a loss Your Highness, please give the order. I will immediately go to the East Palace and show him what it means to kill the chicken to warn the monkey."Chapter 1790: Killing King Ning
