At midnight, Tong Xi was awakened by the sounds of fighting and cursed in his heart: His Highness really jinxed it.
Tong Xi wasn't worried about Zhao Yao's safety and didn't rush to Zhao Yao's side but went to capture the assassins first. Meanwhile, Zhao Yao slept soundly, completely unaffected by the disturbance outside.
As soon as an assassin approached Zhao Yao's room, he fell to the ground without even having the time to let out a scream.
Lu Guang, who was guarding Zhao Yao's room, glanced at the commotion outside the window, feeling unruffled. He yawned, realizing there was no need for him to act, and continued sleeping.
When Zhao Yao woke up, it was already the hour of Chen. He had slept very well last night, completely undisturbed by the assassins. Learning about last night's attempt on his life, he was not surprised at all.
Tong Xi complained, "Your Highness, you really are a jinx."
Zhao Yao laughed, "This is just the beginning, there will be no peace ahead..."
