Xiao Ze, having dispatched the Zhijun's top assassin from the Eastern Palace to kill Xiao Zhen for the first time and failed, was panicked and resentful, yet he did not rush to immediately send another assassin.
Dealing with Xiao Zhen was different from dealing with Ling Hua, as Ling Hua herself had said. As long as Ling Hua left the Capital City, he could continuously send people to kill her. It would be best if they succeeded, but even if they did not, he wanted to make her life restless day and night. However, Xiao Zhen was different; with one failed attempt, he had to make sure to take his life the second time and leave no such threat behind.
Jiang Hao suggested to Xiao Ze, "Your Highness, why not see Wen Qiliang in person?"
