Once a person encounters danger, it is his instinct to protect himself.
Mingxin saw Tang Yuan actually running towards her and seemed to shoot a hidden weapon at her. In panic, she raised the crossbow that Liu Qiaoer gave her.
We mentioned before that this crossbow is not an ordinary crossbow. It has a positioning chip added to its rough appearance.
The moment a crossbow is fired, the safety of its owner must be ensured first.
Therefore, its first target was actually the silver needle that Tang Yuan shot at Mingxin.
After hitting the silver needle, the arrow went directly to Tang Yuan's body. The sharp and powerful arrow pierced Tang Yuan's heart in just one stroke.
Liu Qiaoer was also stunned at the time. Everything happened in a flash. She never expected that Tang Yuan would be so bold as to attack Princess Mingxin.
It's too late to save.
Fortunately, she gave me the crossbow this morning.
Princess Mingxin was fine, but there was a bloody hole in Tang Yuan's body and the arrow was still in her body.
How do you explain this
Obviously, Shuangjiang reacted faster than Liu Qiaoer. She stepped forward and hugged Princess Mingxin, whispering, "Princess, faint quickly."
Then he shouted, "Come here, throw the murderer who assassinated the princess into jail."
Liu Qiaoer also exclaimed: "Princess, what's wrong with you, Princess..."
Princess Mingxin was carried back to Prince Yi's palace.
Tang Yuan was also sent to the prison in Prince Yi's Mansion. Unfortunately, an arrow pierced his heart, and even Liu Qiao'er could not save him.
Liu Qiaoer never imagined that the waters in the capital had become completely muddy by now.
The secret fight between the crown prince and the third prince became more intense.
On that day, the news that Princess Mingxin was frightened and unconscious spread throughout the capital.
Tang Yuan, the girl from the Tang clan who assassinated the princess, was also taken back to Prince Yi's mansion, and her life or death is unknown.
As for why Tang Yuan wanted to assassinate Princess Mingxin.
The rumors also brought the facts to light.
The sister of Lu Yunzheng, the lover of Princess Mingxin, was bullied by Miss Lu San. Princess Mingxin stood up for Lu Yunxi, and Tang Yuan also stood up for Miss Lu San.
Tang Yuan became Miss Lu's tool, and Miss Lu's bullying of a seven-year-old girl from the countryside was also exposed.
The next day, in the court, someone impeached Tutor Lu for failing to discipline his children strictly and bullying Lu Yunzheng's family. Not only the death of Miss Lu, but also Lu Yunyang was dug up.
Tutor Lu knelt in the court and kowtowed to confess his guilt. If it was just because of Lu Yunzheng, the empress dowager would not care much, but Princess Mingxin was involved in the matter, and the empress dowager was furious.
Tutor Lu was fined one year's salary, and the Tang family in the capital was raided and all of them were thrown into prison.
The one who led people to raid the Tang family in the capital was none other than the third prince Zhao Yangxu himself.
Later, Liu Qiaoer learned that the people of Tang Clan had defected to the Crown Prince, who was in charge of the Ministry of War. The Tang Clan assisted the Crown Prince in designing several siege weapons and improving the weapons.
These are all good things that benefit the country and the people, so it's fine as long as we are honest and do our duty.
The Tang Clan is still the prince's money bag.
They not only sell weapons, hidden weapons and mechanical devices in their own country, but they also sell the blueprints of sophisticated weapons to other places.
The prince made a lot of money from it.
If this crime is described in a minor way, it is called corruption. If it is described in a major way, it is called treason.
The Third Prince personally led people to search the Tang family this time in order to find evidence of the Crown Prince or the Tang Clan colluding with the enemy.
Unfortunately, I didn’t find it.
Anyone who doesn't take advantage of an opportunity is a fool. Liu Qiaoer took advantage of the chaos, disguised herself as a guard, and sneaked into the Tang family. She didn't touch anything else but looted most of the gold, silver, and jewelry from the Tang family.
When the third prince searched the warehouse, he saw that there was so little gold and silver. He did not quite believe it and thought that the money must have been moved to the Tang Clan's lair in Shu.
If the Tang Clan in Shu was not too far away from the capital, and the Third Prince was timid, he would probably have led his troops personally to encircle and suppress the Tang Clan.
Just when Liu Qiaoer thought that things were finally coming to an end.
The imperial examination is over.
The imperial examination lasted seven days. The emperor personally set the questions for three papers and graded them anonymously. Those who answered best were ranked according to their condition, and the top 50 were selected as Jinshi.
The top three are No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 respectively.
At that time, Mrs. Lu was so focused on Lu Yunzheng's exam that she didn't even know when Lu Yunxi went missing.
Now not only has Lu Yunxi found the person, but she has also punished the Third Miss who bullied her. Logically, Mrs. Lu should be happy.
But she really couldn't be happy.
Madam Taifu's attitude towards her became increasingly cold.
Just when I was worried about what to do, the imperial examination was over and Lu Yunzheng came out.
Lu Yunzheng is the backbone of Mrs. Lu. She listens to no one else but Lu Yunzheng.
The imperial examination itself was very tiring. Lu Yunzheng dragged his exhausted body out and just as he heard the whole story, he couldn't even catch his breath and fainted.
Mrs. Lu became anxious when she saw this and cried while hugging Lu Yunzheng's body.
Qi Ze couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he advised, "Madam, the young master is too tired, let him go home and rest first. Anyway, the matter has been resolved, Madam, you don't need to worry about the young master anymore."
Xia Ying also advised: "Yes, Madam, let the young master go home and rest quickly."
Gu Mubai was also very tired. He lived in the yard of the Qixi Opera Troupe, but his yard was far away from where the Qixi Opera Troupe practiced. Moreover, the troupe owner's face turned pale when he saw him come back, so he stopped for a day to prevent them from disturbing him.
"A biological mother and a stranger. Sigh, I feel more and more sorry for Lu Yunzheng. He is so smart and outstanding, how could he have such a stupid mother?"
Liu Qiaoer was in Prince Yi's Mansion. When she heard the news about Lu Yunzheng and Gu Mubai, she hadn't said anything yet, but Princess Mingxin was full of complaints.
Indeed, Mrs. Lu is really a little confused.
When I was in Fengxin County, I didn't think she was that stupid.
After all, although Fengxin County is small, it is not poor. She has food and drink. She is the wife of the county magistrate and everyone fawns on her, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.
Now that it's her turn to worry, she just can't stand up.
Not only Liu Qiaoer was anxious, Mingxin was also anxious.
"I think you should just let it go with Lu Yunzheng. With this obstacle, even if you two are willing, she will still use a stick to break up the couple."
Mingxin was cracking melon seeds while gossiping with Liu Qiaoer.
Liu Qiaoer sighed heavily: "Don't be in a hurry about love. The capital is so chaotic, it's not certain whether you can survive to the end."
Ming Xin was not worried at all: "I've already died once, so I can die again. I want to see where I can travel to next time. However, I want to learn a skill. Qiao'er, can you teach me medicine?"
Liu Qiaoer was quite generous and directly gave her two books, one was "Shennong's Herbal Classic" and the other was "Pharmacopoeia".
However, Liu Qiaoer still did not tell Mingxin about the space.
Guessing that Gu Mubai had rested well, Liu Qiaoer clapped her hands and said, "Let's go. I have another skill. I'll teach you how to make cosmetics and make some money."
