With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"Bang bang bang..." Several gunshots rang out.

Nangong Wu's expression turned cold, and she put on an outer robe.

She's already back, yet assassins still dare to break into the mansion?

That's practically suicide!

She opened the door and rushed out.

Li Shuang stood in the courtyard, holding a machine gun. Seeing her emerge, she pointed east, "Your Highness, the assassins are in the eastern district!"

"You stay here and keep watch," Nangong Wu said to her, and ran outside.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat..." Another burst of AK gunfire rang out.

The people carrying AKs are Bei Chenyan, Li Cheng, and Li Zhan, so it seems they have already stopped the assassin.

Nangong Wu rushed towards the direction of the fight.

But by the time she arrived, the battle was over, and three corpses lay on the ground. Bei Chenyan, Feng Wushang, Li Cheng, Li Zhan, and Adelin were searching the bodies.

"Why did you come here?"

When Bei Chenyan saw that she had run over in loose clothes, he quickly took off his outer robe and draped it over her.

"Can we find out who it was?" Nangong Wu looked at the corpse on the ground.

"Your Highness, two of them are from the Northern Region, and the identity of the other is unknown," Li Cheng reported to her. "There were more than a dozen of them in total. It was my incompetence that I was unable to subdue them all."

"These people are incredibly skilled in martial arts and extremely difficult to deal with." Bei Chenyan kicked a corpse over, revealing the face of a foreigner. "Adelin and I were the first to find them, but we couldn't take them down for a while. If I hadn't had a gun, I wouldn't have been able to kill these three."

Nangong Wu looked around; the fight had destroyed quite a bit of property. "How did these people get into the East District?"

"When the first person sneaked into the Prince's mansion, I discovered him and he ran away, trying to lure me away. I fell for it and chased after him."

Later, I realized something was wrong and went back, only to find that the same dozen or so people had come in again, heading straight for the East District.

"These people tried to enter Feng Wushang's courtyard, but I spotted them," Bei Chenyan said.

"These people entered Feng Wushang's courtyard?" A thought flashed through Nangong Wu's mind. "Could they be after the Seven-Colored Lotus?"

Otherwise, why would these people come to Feng Wushang's place?

"I think that's possible too, damn it!" Li Cheng kicked the corpse on the ground. "Young Master Feng just brought the Seven-Colored Lotus today, and these assassins came knocking on our door tonight. Is there a traitor within our palace?"

"Li Cheng, investigate this matter for me." Nangong Wu's eyes were icy cold.

Although there are more than two hundred guards and servants in the mansion, not many of them can get close to Feng Wushang's courtyard.

"Yes!" Li Cheng replied.

Feng Wushang suddenly spoke up: "Princess, go find the person who usually brings me food."

Only that person entered his room today.

He has a young apprentice who usually cleans his room, so he doesn't need anyone from the palace. Sometimes the apprentice fetches his meals, and sometimes the kitchen staff delivers them.

The food arrived a little early today. At that time, he was grinding medicine, and the Seven Clouds Lotus petals he brought were placed next to him, emitting a pleasant lotus fragrance. If that person was the mole, he would definitely recognize that it was Seven Clouds Lotus.

"So it was that bastard. I'll go find him." Li Zhan flew off to find him.

"Princess, what should we do with these corpses?" Li Cheng asked.

"Report it to the authorities! Have the government officials take the body away," Nangong Wu ordered.

"Understood!" Li Cheng also left in a hurry.

"Princess, it was all my oversight." Feng Wushang was somewhat annoyed. He was so focused on making medicine that he didn't notice the other person's unusual behavior.

"This is none of your business." Nangong Wu waved her hand at him and said self-reproachfully, "It's because we didn't manage the people in the manor well."

"There are over two hundred guards and servants in the Prince's mansion. How are you going to manage them?" Bei Chenyan advised her, "Besides, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it's inevitable that some people will have inappropriate thoughts."

Nangong Wu's gaze was cold and indifferent.

Bei Chenyan is right. Human hearts are unpredictable, and some people will do anything for money.

Before long, Li Zhan returned, with Fang Cheng following behind him.

"Your Highness, that man's name was Wang Dama, a kitchen helper. I found his residence, but he had already committed suicide by poison!"

"He committed suicide by poison?" Bei Chenyan glanced at Nangong Wu. "This person was indeed a traitor. He committed suicide out of fear of punishment after being discovered."

Nangong Wu said to Li Zhan, "Report it to the authorities and investigate his family as well."

"Your Highness, this Wang Dama is thirty years old. He was originally an orphan. When he was ten, he fainted from hunger at the gate of the palace. The princess saw that he was pitiful and asked her father to bring him into the palace. After that, he stayed in the palace."

Wang Dama has pockmarks on his face and is so ugly that no one wants to marry him. He hasn't found a wife yet.

He always seemed so honest and unassuming, I never imagined he was a mole who fooled everyone.” Fang Cheng felt incredibly guilty.

"This is not your fault. You need to pay more attention to the servants in the manor." After instructing Fang Cheng, Nangong Wu looked at Fang Cheng and Adelin.

"Send more people over to the East District tonight."

"Understood."

Li Zhan, Adeline, and Fang Cheng bowed.

"It's all right here now, I'll take you back." Bei Chenyan came over and tried to take her hand.

"I can do it myself." Nangong Wu subconsciously avoided his hand.

Bei Chenyan reluctantly withdrew his hand and walked alongside her. "Since we have nothing else to do, I'll accompany you for a walk. I wonder if Xi'er has been woken up yet?"

If that girl gets woken up, she's very hard to soothe.

At this moment, the palace was brightly lit, and the guards, holding torches, searched everywhere in the palace for possible hiding places of the assassin.

"These assassins are after the Seven-Colored Lotus, and they're probably in a hurry to use it to save someone," Nangong Wu guessed.

"They want the Seven-Colored Lotus, but they don't dare to ask us for it. They must be people who are at odds with us, so we can only resort to robbery," Bei Chenyan said.

Nangong Wu's eyes were cold and piercing. "The only people who dare to enter my palace and steal things are from Changyang Temple."

"The people from Changyang Temple have fought us for the Seven-Colored Lotus multiple times, which shows they are in a hurry to use it to save lives, and it is very likely that they are trying to save Zhou Shaorong!" Bei Chenyan thought this was the possibility.

Nangong Wu looked up at the night sky. "Zhou Shaorong needs to borrow the luck of others to prolong his life, and he also needs someone whose fate matches his. If he is still alive now, it must be because Ling Yangzi used some kind of evil magic again."

"Ling Yangzi went to great lengths to save Zhou Shaorong's life, even daring to break into the Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion. Many people have already died for the Seven-Colored Lotus, which makes people very suspicious." Bei Chenyan was puzzled.

"We don't need to care about him. Even if Ling Yangzi saves Zhou Shaorong, so what? Unless Zhou Shaorong hides for the rest of his life and dares not see anyone, I will never let him live to see the next day's sun." Nangong Wu didn't take a dying man seriously at all.
