Wang Jing told me to go for the mystery. "I have no clue how to lead armies and I don't know how to get the other clans together." I nodded and got up. I went over to the pool of blood and flopped on it. I then turned female and it got all over my new robes. They looked at me in utter confusion. "Listen up. You have to stay here and lay down. Pretend to be hurt. When I bring all the help here, we have to make them believe the story. For now, the culprit was a red haired young man with dark gray eyes and white robes. Keep that in mind. I am going to leave now." I said. They nodded and I gave him a dagger. "Take this. Your blood can summon me via the contract. If an enemy comes back to finish the job, you do have to bleed to summon me like you did last time." I told them. I then left after they the agreed to it. I ran around calling for help. It took a whole ten minutes before I got to the first guard. "Help! You have to help!" I said as I ran to his arms. He was young and very scared when he saw me. We colided. "What happened!?" he asked. "A-an assassin! Crown Prince Tai was killed!" I screamed.

He was freaked out and had me go with him. We did and he drew his sword when he saw the carnage. I ran directly to Wang Jing and Wang Wuying. The guard followed me. I began crying over them. The children were both reaching for me. "My Emperor! Holy Mother, Empress Dowager Wang Wuying! Please be alright! he begged as we shook them." Wuying stirred naturally. Jing jerked awake suddenly. The gaurd looked relieved. "We can't stay here. We need to get to where it is safe." The guard's name was Hai. He led us to the guard outpost and we were kept in safety for the night while they investigated the area and took out the bodies. The whole capitol was on red alert for the assassin we described. When we adressed the court the next day, they were besides themselves with worry. Wang Jing sat on his throne and his mother sat next to him. "I can not get the immages of slaughter out of my mind. Everyone died in a horrible fashion. Even your Mother Empress, Empress Dowager Ai and my own heir, Crown Prince Tai, was killed. We must come together and bring the killer to justice." he said.

I gave my testimony to the assembled members. They were all alarmed and angry. The members of the coup were angry that their plans came to ruin. They were scared that they would be revealed as well. Those that supported the previous emperor felt the same way. If Ai and her daughter died with no heirs, they had truly lost all hope of restoring the dynasty to power. They could also be purged and assassinated as well, which fed their fear. It was everything we could have hoped for. Hopefully we could keep them strung along long enough to get rid of them. I already told them what do. Wang Wuying said "In order to do this readily, we will give them all the burials of heroes. In order to give you all the time you need, we will allow the Feng, Lai and Kong clans to take ove most of your duties for the meantime." They looked incredulous at her. "We thought it would be for the best. I lost my wife and son. You lost so much more." Jing said. "In fact, we will be leaving to mourn soon. You are all dismissed for now." he added before anyone could question them. We then left the room while they bowed.
