The thin, dark man considered for a moment, then said quietly, "Those people must be from the imperial court. They must be trying to trace me; that's why they're focusing on the Xie Family."
"This..." The fat, white man was rendered speechless.
"However, since our men can't go in, we can figure out a way to get Xie Yingying out."
The fat, white man promptly bowed. "Please, sir, enlighten me!"
The thin, dark man spoke in a low tone, "Starting tomorrow, spread the word that a phoenix will perch at Qixia Temple at sunrise. Any unmarried girl who sees the phoenix will surely have her fortunes soar!"
Upon hearing this, the fat, white man's face bloomed with joy. "Mr. Wu, you're truly an ingenious man! With such a good plan, Xie Yingying will definitely take the bait!"
The thin, dark man chuckled.
"Xie Yingying's fate is crucial to our plan. As long as she lives, she can influence the fortune of Great Han's future empress dowager. She cannot die yet!"
