The Emperor's legitimate son!
Oh, what high status!
Upon hearing that the evildoer was actually a noble prince, Cai Wei's heart fluttered. She had no idea she had inadvertently saved such an important character and had got merely twenty thousand taels of silver for it. What a loss!
Seeing Cai Wei's silence, Nangong Yi thought she was frightened by Tianjizi. He comforted her, saying: "Wei'er, there's no need to be too afraid. I've already spoken with Old Li. We're going to wait for him here. Once he arrives, we'll deal with him together, then go back to the capital!"
Now, Cai Wei understood her situation. She had unwittingly become embroiled in a fight for the throne. Already in a bind, unwilling or not, the formidable figure—Daoist Master Tianjizi, was coming, most likely for her, possibly to take her life!
