But the Empress family comes from a military background, how could the assassins be so incompetent as to let Zongzheng Ya escape after trying to kill her?
Gu Jin'an said: "Moreover, there's no reason for Duke Yuan's family to kill Zongzheng Ya. Even if they wanted to kill her, they should target Zongzheng Ya's eldest sister. It's foolish to expend effort to kill a second daughter who hasn't even entered the palace."
He continued: "Could the Empress family be trying to use Zongzheng Ya's tragic death to disgrace the Zongzheng family? But to take such a big risk for this reason is unreasonable."
Qin San Lang nodded: "So we suspect it's a setup, that woman wants to set a trap to calculate against us."
Yet he couldn't understand why Zongzheng Ya would set a trap for them?
Gu Jinli said: "We don't need to speculate here. If it is a setup, Zongzheng Ya will surely have further moves ready soon. We just need to be on guard and respond when the time comes."
