The arrival of ziyan and shuwang proves Sima rui's words. Everyone looked relieved. Unlike the pale-looking minister Guan. Of course because he was well aware that what was in front of him was now the real shuwang, not shuyan.
' Shuwang? then where's shuyan? ' thought minister guan.
Early flashback, though,
Shuyan raised his dagger high ready to stab Sima yan's back. When the distance of the dagger and Sima yan's back stayed a few inches. A knife shot out and stuck it right in Shuyan's arm. His blood splashed on the table and he fell to the floor.
Not wanting to give up, Shuyan still tried to get up and tried to stab Sima yan. But the shadow bodyguards swiftly snatched Shuyan's dagger and immobilized him. Shuyan fainted right then and there.
Sima rui appeared in the darkness with A Ying.
" Take him and clean it all up. " Sima rui's orders.
Shuyan was immediately taken by the shadow bodyguards to the place where the master was going to torture him.
Sima rui walked over to Sima yan who was still bowed at the table. He poured wine into another empty glass and drank it.
" I've got that woman removed. I want to see when you continue your drunk acting. " Sima rui said without looking at her sister.
Sima yan instantly raised his head and looked at his brother with piercing eyes. " Sister, you know, almost my back is hollow. Did you accidentally come at the last second. "
Sima rui seemed to not care about Sima yan's protest sentence. " It's not important that your back is okay. If I had come earlier, then the possibility of him escaping could have happened. "
' How could the woman have escaped, if your shadow bodyguards alone had surrounded this place. 'inner Sima yan.
" Now you go back to your room. We still have to continue this charade tomorrow. Act according to plan. " Sima rui got up and left.
Sima yan let out a long breath. He had not expected to be in his brother's plans to frame the guan minister. At first he thought his brother was joking about Shuyan disguising himself as a shuwang and intended to kill him in order to create a war between the jin and wei kingdoms. But when he saw the real shuwang in the rixi palace and heard everything directly from the woman's mouth, he finally believed.
Ziyan brought the original shuwang to the rixi palace two days earlier. By making him disguise as a servant, so that others will not suspect and shuwang can move freely.
While Sima Yan returned to his room, Sima rui went to the place where Shuyan was. Shuyan who had come to her senses was so shocked to see Sima rui standing before her. He did not expect, the person who kidnapped and foiled his action was Sima rui. If this had been the case, he was sure that the cold man would have known all his plans.
Shuyan suddenly felt a chill on his back. He knew his fate would not end well in the hands of Sima rui. Shuyan swallowed his saliva, Sima rui's sharp gaze and the pressure from it made the girl shudder in horror.
Shuyan threw away her fear, trying to brave herself. " Torture? prince did you forget that I am the royal princess of wei. If I disappear, do you think prime minister Guan won't be looking for me. My disappearance will definitely still trigger a dispute between the two countries. " Shuyan believes, a great general like Sima rui must know the dispute he was referring to.
" Do you think wei kingdom will do it only for the sake of an adopted princess? " Sima rui's reply vehemently silenced Shuyan. But he still did not want to give up. He remembered that his sister had a relationship with emperor wei.
" I am a foster daughter. Emperor wei would definitely not accept if anything happened to me. " She said confidently.
" It's bullshit! "
Hearing Sima rui's reply, shuyan was blown away. " I'll tell you one big secret. I, have a romantic relationship with Emperor Wei. We love each other. Even my matchmaking and the Crown Prince will soon be cancelled by her. So are you still going to torture me. "
One corner of Sima rui's lips lifted up, as if ridiculing. With a sneering tone, he spoke. " It seems that besides being stupid you are also shameless. How could Emperor Wei love you if the woman he loves is shuwang not shuyan. "
Like being struck by lightning, Shuyan's body limp to fall on the floor. He stared at the man in front of him. "you know my identity? " Tanya shuyan stammered.
But Sima Rui did not want to answer the question, he said something else. " I'll give you two days. Think carefully. Say it all or enjoy the moments leading up to your death here. As for minister guan, you take it easy. He will not look for you because Shuwang himself will appear before him. "
After saying that, Sima rui left the shuyan who was still in shock with a blank look.
" no. Why is he still alive. He should have died. " Shuyan murmured repeatedly.
End flashback.
********
Minister Guan walked back and forth in his room. Is he panicking? of course panic. He did not expect Shuwang to appear before him. He was convinced that he had killed her by then. Then if shuwang appears, where does shuyan go? why is Sima Yan still okay? do they know my plan? But if they find out why don't they do anything?
All those questions revolved around the chief minister of guan. Minister Guan walked towards the table and took out a piece of paper. He started writing one word 'Failed '. He then ordered his confidant to send the letter to his destination.
The minister's man quickly left. So careful, that he did not realize that the shadow bodyguard Sima rui was following him. Until finally he arrived at a large stone shaped lion with several smaller Buddha statues.
The waiter looked to the right and to the left making sure that no one was following him. Sima rui's men remained calm in position. Because he knows his whereabouts will not be known. After making sure it was safe, the servant immediately put his master's letter into the mouth of the lion and rushed away.
Sima rui's bodyguards did not return to follow the waiter, but remained waiting in his place. He was sure someone would take the letter. And sure enough, there's no need to wait long. A priest came with a bucket of water. He poured one by one the Buddha statue until he arrived in front of the lion statue. He quickly picked up the letter and immediately put it in his sleeve.
