The Princess And The Lord

From the hilltop Zhao Li Xin stare in the direction of the abandoned temple complex, his eyes were dark and gloomy just like midnight without the stars, his anxiety hit the roof as his heart grew heavy.  To be honest Zhao Li Xin didn't like the idea even a bit but this is the only way to make sure Shin Jiu safety and to find out what Lao Min Na had been doing with Lazarus.

Zhao Li Xin recalled that day after Lao Min Na attack Lory at Xi Lin tea house after Lory wakes up they got to talk a bit and Zhao Li Xin decide to come clean with her so he tell Lory what happened with Shin Jiu.

At first, Lory complained why Zhao Li Xin didn't tell him earlier but Lory was a level-headed person, her mind quickly prioritized what she should do first, and the first thing she did was check on Bai Zi's condition. Thanks to Lory's healing power, Bai Zi was dragged from the gates of hell.

Together, Zhao Li Xin and Lory discuss what happened then Lory advice to bring the others in their plan since it involves all of them therefore they called everyone not only Hei Shen members but also Ming Yue Yin, Li Mo Zhen, Yang Xi Ying, Fu Ying, and even Zhang Yu Hong. Together they invented a great plan not only to save Shin Jiu but solve the other problem that arise. 

From the long discussion, they all conclude that Wei Zu Tian will launch his attack during Lory and Zhao Li Xin's wedding, and from the latest information they gather together from each spy they found out Xiao Bo Zhi colludes with Jin Kai to buy lots of hybrid beasts also pills and elixir to increase cultivation then he held a secret meeting with other officials who dissatisfied being ruled by a woman, from here it's clear what Xiao Bo Zhi intention was.

Ming Yue Yin knew that Xiao Zu Ke who was working on the administrative matters of the kingdom must have someone to monitor her activity in the palace so it would not be strange for Xiao Zu Ke to know when she came and go from the palace.

Ming Yue Yin knew Xiao Bo Zhi would take the opportunity when he left the palace to attack the capital, without Ming Yue Yin present to hold the highest authority, it wouldn't be hard to imagine how chaotic the situation in the palace would be when the city was attacked by a powerful enemy.

At the same time, they also wanted to take advantage of everyone panicky when they realize Lory is missing to attack Sun Jan city.

With a divided focus on Zhao Li Xin's side it wouldn't be strange that they wouldn't be prepared when they were suddenly attacked, their goal was not to kill Ming Yue Yin or Zhao Li Xin but to destroy two big cities and cause many innocent victims to fall to create a huge blow to the Ming Yue Yin government and when the enemy spread rumors about the queen's absence from the palace because she was attending a close friend's wedding at another city and let the throne empty, this truth will notably disappoint the people who were already overwhelmed with grief at the loss of their family and home, so it will foster hatred for Ming Yue Yin therefore when Xiao Bo Zhi usurped the throne he would have little resistance from the citizens, heck he might even gain support instead.

With this plan, they were able to cut off one of the biggest backers of the Hei Shen sect and turn them into their supporters.

Realizing this, Ming Yue Yin decided to stay in Sun Jan city with Fu Ying and Zhang Yu Hong to catch Xiao Bo Zhi off guard and secretly corresponded with Fu Xiao Jin and Wu Tian Zi to deal with the incoming attack on the capital and also to oversee the movements of the Xiao family and other noble families who joined the Xiao family's rebellion.

In order to ensure the safety of the capital city, Lory suggested asking Yuan Shao for help as Yuan Shao was one of the few people who knew about Lory's true identity and involvement with Lao Min Na as well as hybrid animals, therefore he was the most suitable person to turn to for help.

Lory also has the idea of ​​making Yuan Shao the savior of the Liang Zu kingdom so that it will make it easier for Ming Yue Yin and Yuan Shao's marriage to be accepted with this plan the three goals will be achieved.

Furthermore, Zhao Li Xin was sure that Wei Zu Tian used Shin Jiu to force Lory to surrender herself, which was why Shin Jiu wasn't killed along with his contract beast. The matter with Shin Jiu became a bit complicated because they didn't know where he was being held and getting him out would be quite difficult, Lory then decided to use herself as bait to infiltrate Wei Zu Tian's lair, Zhao Li Xin at first as usual vehemently rejected the plan but Lory managed to convince Zhao Li Xin that she could take care of herself, it took a while to convince Zhao Li Xin but at the end Zhao Li Xin reluctantly agreed.

That was the reason why Lory was left alone in her bridal chamber and the protective line around the manor had become so loose, Zi Quan Mei might have thought the security around Hei Shen's manor had become a bit lax due to the wedding but she would never have thought about it. was an attempt to lure Zi Quan Mei.

Actually when Zi Quan Mei barged into Lory's room with Yang Qiou Xi Mong Yi with the other shadow guards was secretly watching from afar just to make sure Zi Quan Mei didn't hurt Lory more than she should. It was nerve-wracking to see Zi Quan Mei slap Lory, but since Lory didn't make any signs, no one dared to make a move.

The only unexpected situation in their plan was Yang Qiou Xi's involvement, but everyone immediately understand that this was another plan to sow discord the relationship between Lory and Yang Xi Ying if Zhao Li Xin killed Yang Qiou Xi it would naturally incur the ire of the Yang Family and if Zhao Li Xin harmed the Yang family it would automatically make Yang Xi Ying dejected, in the end, it will completely destroy Yang Xi Ying and Lory relationship and if lucky Yang Xi Ying could miscarry and it would lead to the end of the Jiu Yun and Hei Shen relationship.

The plan was meticulous, devious, undeniably it will be a success, too bad they underestimated the level of trust between Zhao Li Xin and Lory and the depth of their relationship, the enemy failed to understand the bond between Lory and her friends.

The biggest mistake of the enemy plan is they don't take account of Lory's character because they don't know who Lory really is they didn't know what Lory could do and that's will become their biggest mistake.
