「Prince Jin's Mansion.」
Lu Guangjing leaned back in a large armchair, swirling the wine pot held between two fingers. His gaze was lazy, as if he were waiting for something.
'It's about time.'
Soon, a snow-white fox descended from the sky with incomparable elegance. Its form shifted as it approached, transforming into a tall woman clad in arm armor and a fox-faced mask. She walked straight from the mansion's entrance to stand before him, clasping her fist in respect.
"Your Highness, all went smoothly. Wang Zhaoyan and the Sixth Prince, Lu Mingyuan, are both unconscious. It appears the two have already engaged in illicit relations."
At these words, those standing beside him looked on with admiration.
The Poison Scholar Su Qin, standing at his side, smiled and offered a clasped-fist salute. "Congratulations, Your Highness. Once the Third and Sixth Princes are eliminated, only five Princes will remain. Aside from the Eighth Prince, Lu Yunqing, the others are no cause for concern."
