Shen Xiang turned around and said: "Then you run fast! Don't let them succeed! Come on, follow me!"

She walked quickly, facing the slight north wind, pulled two staggering girls up the gentle slope, stopped beside a big fire, and said loudly to the men who came up while looking back: " Hurry up! I'm going to use a hidden weapon!"

When the assassins heard this, they slowed down a little. Shen Xiang let go of the fifth princess and Zhang Yunjin's hands and said, "You two continue to go up, I will cover you!"

The fifth princess cried and held hands with Zhang Yunjin, Zhang Yunjin cried and said, "Sister, let's go together!"

Shen Xiang said proudly: "You guys forgot, I have martial arts!"

She bent down and picked up a wooden stick from the ground, and poked it to the ground: "This is my spear!"

The fifth princess and Zhang Yunjin supported each other, crying and moving forward.

The third prince came to Shen Xiang's side and said, "You go with them."

Shen Xiang said: "Take them away quickly! I have a way to stop those assassins!"

Beside the bonfire, Shen Xiang's bright eyes shone with confidence and arrogance, and her thick eyebrows and big eyes were reflected by the fire, as if she was shining. At such a dangerous moment, the Third Prince was still in a daze.

Eunuch Gu walked up to the third prince and pulled his arm. The third prince didn't look at Eunuch Gu, but shook his head at Shen Xiang and said, "I won't run away, I will stay here with you."

Zhang Yunming walked past them and said, "I have to run, I have to take care of my sister!"

The third prince hesitated for a moment, raised his head and said to Zhang Yunming, "You can take care of my sister too." He meant to let Zhang Yunming run away with the two girls.

Zhang Yunming stopped, holding an untimely paper fan in his hand, with a tangled look: "Xiaosheng is incompetent, I don't know if I can take on this important task..." He was wearing a dark blue scholar's suit, which was thick and casual, but it was exquisitely embroidered The white crane and the yellow crescent moon look extraordinarily dandy.

Eunuch Gu also frowned and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, let's go, the Imperial Forest Army is in the paddock ahead, and when we get there, we don't need to worry about these assassins."

The third prince shook his head. They were on a gentle slope and could overlook the situation below. The third prince pointed to the twilight distance and said: "Look at the prince's guards, none of them are coming this way. There is such a big commotion, and the Imperial Forest Army has not moved. These people will not come if they don't kill me. If I can't escape, I won't run away, let my sisters go, these people probably shouldn't embarrass a few girls."

Eunuch Gu looked at the thirty people who were slowly approaching them, and said in a low voice, "I can withstand more than a dozen people, Your Highness, take the fifth princess and go!"

The third prince gave a deep salute to Eunuch Gu, stood up and said: "Mother asked me to perform the teacher's salute to Eunuch Gu, and I have never had the opportunity to salute Eunuch Gu."

Eunuch Gu hastily replied, "Your Highness, don't do this!"

The third prince said: "Eunuch, let's go with a few girls." He said to Shen Xiang: "Eunuch Gu is very skilled in martial arts, you can follow him..."

Shen Xiang shook his head: "I said, you go, I can stop these people!"

Eunuch Gu pulled the third prince: "Your Highness, let's go!"

The third prince shook his head: "How can the disciple escape before the master? How can the man let the woman cover? I will not run away!"

Seeing that they didn't keep up, the fifth princess and Zhang Yunjin, who had walked a distance, also stopped, Zhang Yunming waved to them: "Keep going, Xiaosheng, I... Queen of the Palace..." He spoke weakly, with a guilty conscience.

Seeing this, the fifth princess and Zhang Yunjin embraced and cried, and the fifth princess sobbed and said, "I want...to be with my brother..."

Zhang Yunjin also cried: "I... also..."

Seeing that they had no other movements, the assassins moved faster, a group of people were only a dozen steps away, and gradually separated to outflank them.

Shen Xiang shouted: "You bastards! Come on!" After finishing speaking, he took out a few fragrant cakes from his bosom, threw them into the fire, and said to the third prince, "Let's step back!"

After she finished speaking, she quickly walked a dozen steps towards the fifth princess, and the third prince and Eunuch Gu also retreated after her.

When those people heard her cry, they were deeply ashamed to be called a "rat" by a girl in her teens, and they didn't see her throwing any hidden weapons, so they hurried forward.

Shen Xiang led them to run against the cold wind all the time, but now they are at the upper air outlet, and as soon as the fragrant cakes entered the fire, a pleasant fragrance emanated from the surroundings. Shen Xiang took the lead to retreat, but still smelled a little bit, and still felt a little dizzy, not to mention those people who were downwind and rushed forward when they saw it. The assassins all inhaled the fragrance, and when they felt something bad and immediately held their breath, many of them already felt their feet go weak and their bodies shaking.

The few people who rushed to the front by inertia were a little awkward. Eunuch Gu knocked one person down with a few punches and grabbed the sword from him, and the other three or four people came up to besiege Eunuch Gu, and they couldn't take advantage of it at all. After only a few rounds, he was chopped down to the ground by Eunuch Gu one after another. Eunuch Gu cleaned up the assassins who were approaching, hurriedly walked in front of the third prince, and waited for the large group of approaching assassins with his sword horizontally. Seeing how fierce he was, those people couldn't help but slow down, they couldn't hold their breath for a long time, so they inhaled more of the fragrance.

Shen Xiang held the wooden stick and stood beside the third prince. She only reached the third prince's shoulders, but the third prince could feel the vigorous vitality and fighting spirit emanating from her. He bent down and picked up a stone, and said, "Let's do it together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of assassins surrounded him. Eunuch Gu's saber was shining brightly, and the assassins' actions were a little careless. For a while, Eunuch Gu was like a tiger like a tiger among sheep, and no one could beat him.

Three or four assassins rushed to the side of the third prince and Shen Xiang. Shen Xiang stabbed out with a stick as a spear. She could not compete with these assassins, but now, the sticks stabbed fiercely, and the assassins were in a hurry. Steady, the third prince followed up and kicked the person fiercely, then smashed the opponent's head and body with the stone in his hand, and knocked down all the assassins to the ground in a short time.

Zhang Yunming clapped his hands behind and said: "Wonderful! The third prince's shot is extraordinary!" His voice was full of flattery.

After a while, thirty or so people could not struggle, or died under the sword of Eunuch Gu.

Eunuch Gu walked back to the third prince and said to the third prince, "We can now..."

Zhang Yunming exclaimed: "He wants to send a hidden weapon!"

Eunuch Gu remembered the note he had received, and touched the long scarf he had prepared in his sleeve to wave it out. He saw a dark blue cloud mixed with white cranes floating down, circling like a whirlpool, filling the sky with needles. Rain, take it all in.

Zhang Yunming rolled over from the air and landed like a swimming dragon, grabbed the corner of his coat and waved it around in the air before taking it back.

He took off his literati robe, revealing the tight-fitting short jacket underneath, with a bee waist and ape back, in the shape of a crane and a mantis.

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Zhang Yunming stuffed the corner of the coat in his hand into Eunuch Gu's hand, and said, "I admire you, I admire you! Eunuch Gu took off my coat at once and knocked out all the hidden weapons." Yes! What a master!"

Eunuch Gu lifted the corner of his clothes expressionlessly, and the corner of his mouth twitched, he said reluctantly, "Young Master Zhang is really... modest."

Zhang Yunming clasped his fists together: "Where? Where? Congratulations! I have just passed the examination of scholar, and it will not be too late to praise me after I have won Jinshi." Then he loosened his belt, made his clothes looser, picked up his fan from the ground, and Fanned in the cold wind.

The fifth princess finally smiled through tears, and sighed with Zhang Yunjin. The two embraced for a long time before letting go of each other.

Eunuch Gu went over and slapped the person who had been given the poisonous needle to death. The third prince looked at the people lying on the ground and said to Eunuch Gu: "Don't kill them all, leave them alive."

Eunuch Gu whispered, "If I don't kill them, they won't survive tonight."

The third prince frowned, Zhang Yunming waved his fan and said: "The third prince is kind-hearted. This man deserves what he deserves for being able to use such a vicious hidden weapon! Eunuch Gu should do it right, admiration, admiration!"

Eunuch Gu glanced at Zhang Yunming: Aren't you just happy that I silenced you for you? Can you change the tone of flattering? But now is not the time to criticize Zhang Yunming's monotonous tone, he said to the third prince: "It should be all right, His Highness is leaving here tonight. This time, thanks to Miss Shen..." Mixiang

The third prince looked at Shen Xiang, Shen Xiang heaved a sigh of relief, threw the stick in his hand, and said with a smile: "That's my sister's sleeping cake, fortunately I snatched it from her, look, what a coincidence!" Then she It seemed that he suddenly remembered: "I have to go see my sister!" and ran to the prince's seat in a hurry.

The third prince looked at Shen Xiang's back for a long time, until she disappeared behind those figures walking back and forth in a panic under the shadow of the fire.

Shen Xiang couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth—it was perfect! It turned out that the agreement was that when the assassins entered the arena, the Shen brothers would go to protect the prince, and if Shen Xiang wanted to shout, the Shen brothers would ask the third prince to take care of Shen Xiang—how many times have they traveled together? The third prince will never refuse. As long as the third prince is separated from the crown prince, the assassin's intentions will become clear to everyone. But who would have thought that the fourth princess would drive the fifth princess to her table, and Shen Xiang didn't even have to shout. It is more reasonable for the fifth princess to call the third prince over, and it also saves her own face! It turned out that Shen Xiang felt ashamed and embarrassing at the thought of calling the third prince over, but she was very satisfied with the ending now. Then I have to go to see Shen Wen quickly. There are not many assassins on the prince's side, so Shen Wen shouldn't be in trouble...

After the fourth princess' barrier was kicked away by the assassin, many people looked at her. There was still light in the sky, and with the bright bonfire, everyone could clearly see the fourth princess dragging Shen Wen to her body, and facing the assassin's sword like a shield.

Although Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo who were beside the prince received Shen Xiang's private admonition to follow the prince and not go to Shen Wen's side, they couldn't help screaming or shouting angrily when they saw this scene, but it was a pity that they left after all. After a certain distance, there are still a few guards who came to protect the prince in the middle, blocking the way, and it is too late by visual inspection!

Shen Wen held a handkerchief in his hand, and was already out of breath from crying. Facing the oncoming sword point, he screamed in shock, then rolled his eyes, closed his eyes and passed out!

After closing her eyes, she tapped the Quchi acupoints on both arms of the fourth princess with her consciousness. The moment before the assassin's sword arrived, he quickly slipped to the ground and lay there motionless.

The assassin's sword was about to hit, but the girl in the target suddenly disappeared, revealing a person behind. It was too late to withdraw the sword, so he had to raise the edge of the sword a little to avoid stabbing the heart of the person behind. The blade slashed fiercely across the stunned fourth princess' cheek, bringing out a drop of blood.

The fourth princess was stunned for a moment, feeling her face was cold, raised her hand to touch it, and felt the skin and flesh opened, and then looked at her hand, it was full of blood, and then she felt the sting, and couldn't help howling: "Ah! Kill him! Kill him!"

She lowered her head and saw Shen Wen lying on the ground with her eyes closed, she raised her foot angrily and kicked it, but before the foot in the air could reach Shen Wen, the supporting leg suddenly became weak, and she sat on the ground all of a sudden, causing her buttocks to swell. Pain, another scream.

The assassin came back to his senses, and he was about to stab Shen Wen again with his sword. He only felt a touch in his heart, and then he felt tightness in his chest, as if he had been hit by a palm. It is not easy to live, let alone stab people.

At this time Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo arrived, one of them grabbed his back, the other bent down and lifted his leg, and together with force, they threw him far away. As soon as the assassin landed, Shen Zhuo rushed on him, punching and kicking him. The assassin couldn't breathe, and had no strength to fight back. In the end, Shen Jian stopped Shen Zhuo and said, "Keep alive!"

Shen Wen tightly pinched one of the assassin's heart arteries with his consciousness, but within two seconds, he almost caused a myocardial infarction. The fourth princess here is already covered in blood, and a palace official came to help her. She pointed to Shen Wen on the ground and said, "Kill her! Kill her!"

Taking advantage of the confusion, Su Wanniang turned her clothes back into dark blue in a dark place. At this time, he stumbled and ran over, lay on Shen Wen's body and cried loudly: "Miss! Miss, wake up!"

Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo walked back to Shen Wen with sullen faces. Shen Jian bent down and felt Shen Wen's pulse. He felt that although the beating was slow, it was still strong, so he stood up and asked angrily, "May I ask the fourth princess?" , why would someone beat my younger sister to death?"

Shen Zhuo asked Shen Jian: "How is little sister?"

Shen Jian replied heavily: "I have passed out." Shen Zhuo looked at the fourth princess coldly: "The fourth princess pushed my younger sister to block the assassins, and everyone saw it. My younger sister is unconscious, and the fourth princess is not willing to let go." ?!"

The fourth princess asked the palace servants to wrap her face, and said: "She pushed me towards the assassin! Look, my face! It was stabbed by the assassin! Your Zhenbeihou Mansion is so courageous!"

The sun is setting on the western mountains, and shadows are everywhere.

Faced with such accusations from both sides, the onlookers dared not speak out: on one side was the princess, and on the other was the Marquis of Zhenbei. It is not difficult to know which is right and which is wrong, but the difficult thing is that no one can be offended!

But after a moment of silence, a timid voice said: "Well, at that time, indeed, you pushed this lady to block the assassin, she passed out, and the assassin stabbed you..."

The fourth princess cursed: "Which bastard dares to say that? Someone, beat him to death!"

Ding Neishi limped out of the shadows with the help of the fourth prince. The fourth prince bit his lower lip and said hesitantly: "Well, the fourth princess, sincerity is the most important thing for a gentleman..."

The fourth princess interrupted: "Shit! Get out of here! You lame! Crippled! Useless! What's the matter with you here?! Go to hell!"

The fourth prince seemed to lower his head sadly. Everyone who watched had already known that the fourth prince was lame. Those who read also knew that the fourth prince quoted a sentence from the Book of Rites, saying that honesty is very precious to noble people, but the fourth princess Just swearing and swearing without mercy, and trampled on the Confucian classics by the way. Everyone felt sad for the fourth prince, and looked down on this princess who blatantly slandered the codes of ethics.

People say that it is not the son's fault to teach the father, the princess is like this, how did the queen teach her

Shen Jian seemed to know everyone's thoughts, and said, "I never expected that the royal family's upbringing is so good, they can speak such bad words to their elder brother, and they openly disregard the words of the sages."

The prince walked over slowly and said, "Si Huangmei, it's better to go and treat the injury quickly."

He turned his head and said to the fourth prince, "My Royal Brother, it's dark and windy, and your legs and feet are not good. Don't get hurt, go back quickly." With a crutch, he was supported by Ding Neishi and walked away.

The fourth princess burst into tears: "Brother Prince! She pushed me to the assassin! You let someone kill her!"

The people around whispered, and some even sneered.

The prince shouted: "Shut up! Hurry up and treat the injury!" The palace people helped the fourth princess and left.

Shen Jian saluted the prince and said: "Prince, it seems that there are not many assassins here, we are going to find a doctor for my sister, so I am leaving." The sentence "there are not many assassins here" caused countless speculations.

After finishing speaking, Shen Jian sent someone to find Zhanzi. When Shen Xiang arrived, he burst into tears seeing this scene, and said repeatedly: "Why is this? Isn't it with the fourth princess?! What's going on?!" Su Wanniang hurriedly pulled Shen Xiang : "Miss fainted from fright."

Shen Xiang asked loudly: "Why did she faint from fright?"

No one dared to answer, Shen Jian said: "Let's go! Let's go back and talk!" This was even worse than saying it.

At this moment, the mat arrived, Shen Xiang and Su Wanniang pushed Shen Wen onto the mat, Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo carried Shen Wen, before Shen Jian left, he said loudly: "His Royal Highness, please keep a few alive so that we can track down who instigated !"

The prince's face became more gloomy, and Shen Jian led the people away.

Someone reported in a low voice: "Third Prince has subdued all the assassins..."

The prince was startled, he glanced at the guards around him and said, "Go quickly! Help the third brother, don't let those assassins escape!" The guards responded.

The banquet broke up unhappily, and those hunting leaders could not be selected.

The people in the Zhenbeihou's Mansion said they wanted to show the doctor to the second lady, so they declined the imperial doctor sent by the prince, and took off their curtains overnight to return to Beijing.

The third prince, on the grounds that the fifth princess was frightened and did not dare to stay here any longer, only took Eunuch Gu to accompany the fifth princess on a bicycle, and traveled with the convoy of the Zhenbei Houfu.

At night, the guards "discovered" that the captured assassins were going to escape, so they went on a killing spree, beheading them all. One of them escaped while struggling, shouting "Kill and silence, Prince..." Although he was killed by the guards who chased him later, many people still heard it.

In the early morning of the next day, each family also hurriedly collected their bills and left, and those who bid farewell to the prince were all cautious.

As soon as these people returned to the capital, rumors spread like wildfire:

Under the eyes of everyone watching, a large group of assassins gave up the prince to take the third prince. This was obviously an assassination aimed at the third prince! The prince was not injured in any way. The third prince captured a dozen assassins alive with the help of Eunuch Gu's martial arts, but those assassins were all killed by the prince's guards that night, and some even shouted that they were "killed and silenced" before they died. Is there a clearer "conspiracy" than this

The princess was injured and was affected. She pushed Zhenbeihou's Second Miss to block the sword, and that second lady, who was always known as stupid, frightened to death on the spot, and the assassin stabbed the Fourth Princess. Many people said that the Second Miss Shen actually wanted to run away. If the Fourth Princess hadn't pulled the Second Miss, maybe the assassin would have gone after the Second Miss and wouldn't have hurt her face. This is really not to die.

But why did the assassin not assassinate the crown prince, but wanted to kill the second lady? Thinking of the quarrel between the second lady and the prince before, everyone sighed knowingly: That second lady is really unlucky! He was almost poisoned to death by the queen in the palace before. Although he didn't die this time, he was still in a coma and didn't wake up when he left the hunting ground.

Everyone shook their heads at the prince's character: This prince is really poisonous. How long has it been since Concubine Chen Gui died before she came to plot against the third prince? Even a girl who had quarreled with him had to get rid of him several times, and he did it so clumsily, without any intention of deceiving others. This should be regarded as another stupid thing happened by the royal family after the empress blatantly poisoned her...

After the convoy from Zhenbeihou's Mansion entered the city, they separated from the Third Prince and went directly to Shi Helin's clinic.

Knocking on Shi Helin's clinic, Su Chuanya who opened the door heard that Second Miss Shen was in a coma, and immediately cried to death, much more sad than Su Wanniang who was crying at the same time.

Shen Jian led people to carry Shen Wen into the house, Shi Helin and Duan Zeng came over to call for pulse. Shi Helin got up and twitched his beard worriedly: "This is a heart disease. It's the same as that time in the palace. It's caused by shock. It's very difficult to treat..."

Shen Jian hurriedly said: "The doctor doesn't need to worry about money, please do your best to save him!"

With a stern face, Duan Zeng scolded Shen Wen for being a liar in his heart, went to get his needle bag, and just wanted to prick Shen Wen for a few needles, but once the needle was inserted, Shen Wen "woke up". When she saw Duan Zeng's expression, she immediately blinked and began to cry. Duan Zeng had no choice but to withdraw the needle.

Hearing the movement, Su Wanniang and Shen Xiang rushed forward, and the three of them held hands and cried. Duan Zeng came out and said, "I've been rescued... Take care of it!" He walked out of the room with a dark face—so as not to be too nervous to say something.

Shen Jian paid the consultation fee, but everyone prevented Shen Wen from moving, and let her lie down and carried her into the car. Su Chuanya followed all the way with swollen eyes, watching the people from the Zhenbeihou Mansion go away at the door.

Back in the Zhenbeihou Mansion, in order to avoid the old lady and Yang's worries, Shen Jian cut off the head and tail, and said something indiscriminately, only saying that Shen Wen was frightened, how could he dare to say that she was pushed out to be a shield

Just like that, the old lady and Yang were still stunned. The old lady complained that Yang didn't listen to her words and insisted on letting Shen Wen go. Look, this kind of thing happened! blah blah...

Yang was wronged, she cried and listened, but didn't talk back, let the old lady chatter for a long time, and she calmed down. Mrs. Yang asked Shen Wen to rest in bed, take part in the soup every day, and not leave the house at ordinary times.

Probably trying to appear unhurried, the prince's car did not set off for Beijing until most of the people had left the hunting area.

But as soon as he entered the quiet and hidden place of the East Palace, the prince lost his temper. Like the queen, he finally started smashing things too. Picking up anything and throwing something at random, the people who followed him into the hall stood in a row along the corner of the wall in fright.

The prince lost his temper and asked, "What's going on?!"

A person said in a trembling voice, "It's all a coincidence."

The prince was angry: "How is it a coincidence? Why did someone call out the assassin in advance?!" It was because of the advance that the fifth princess screamed and the third prince left, so that people could clearly see that the assassin was going after the third prince!

One person explained: "We found a few people around the screaming woman. They said that the woman's headgear should be a maidservant, her hair covered her face, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly, but she was wearing a new beige, light-colored. Yes, it's not the maid clothes that are often worn in the mansion, it should be clothes made for this banquet..."

The prince interrupted: "Why is she shouting?"

The staff said: "Someone heard the woman exclaiming before saying: 'Look, there is a knife handle on the prey!' But before the man had time to look carefully, the woman cried out, and the crowd became chaotic."

The crown prince frowned: "Is there really a knife handle exposed on the prey?"

The staff sighed: "Now there is no way to know, those people are all dead."

The prince gritted his teeth again and asked, "What's going on with the third prince?!"

Another said: "It's mainly the eldest lady of the Marquis of Zhenbei who threw a lot of sleeping cakes into the fire. Those people suddenly inhaled a lot of tranquilizing and hypnotic drugs, their limbs became weak, and they almost fainted."

The prince asked: "Why is she carrying sleeping scented cakes?!"

The man hurriedly explained: "Our eyeliner in the Hou's mansion said that the fragrant cake was originally prepared by the doctor for the old lady, and it was agreed a few months ago. When it was delivered, I let the second lady see it. I like the scent, so I took a few…”

The prince interrupted impatiently: "Isn't this the second lady? How did it get on the eldest lady?!"

The man hurriedly said again: "When the second young lady arrived at the hunting ground, she said she couldn't sleep well. Her maids burned some fragrant cakes the day before the banquet. As a result, all the young ladies and maids in the tent slept past noon..."

The prince patted the table: "What does this have to do with the eldest lady?!"

The man hastened his sentence: "Miss went to wake them up. When she found out that they had used fragrant cakes, she was very angry and said that they made a mistake, so she took it away from the maid. Miss was already dressed up at that time, so she went straight to the banquet." , so I didn’t pay back the bill, and left the incense cake on her.”

Another person added: "She only got the incense cake an hour before the banquet, so we say, it's a coincidence. She must have been quick-witted when she was running away, thinking that her sister overslept because of burning the incense cake. Throw the incense cakes into the fire to stop the assassins."

The crown prince frowned and asked again: "Why is that ball of rain needles useless?"

One person sighed and said, "According to Mr. Zhang of Marquis Ping Yuan, when Eunuch Gu saw that the man was about to issue needles, he tore off the thick robe on his body and used his clothes to take away the poisonous needles. He felt very sorry for that man. A piece of clothing, said to be the work of a famous embroiderer in the south of the Yangtze River, is now destroyed, and asked the royal family if they could give him some money... "

The prince was angry again: "He has so much money in his house, how dare he open his mouth?! How could that second young lady faint in the morning and evening, but only fainted when the assassin stabs the sword?!"

One person explained: "Our people in the Hou's mansion said that the second lady always complained that she was tired all the way, and she never went to the hunting ground to watch the ceremony. She lay on the bed every day, saying that she was afraid of the cold. She did a lot of work for this hunt. Three sets of clothes, only one set... "

The crown prince interrupted: "You want to talk about this kind of thing?!"

The staff hurriedly explained: "Just to say that she has been unwell. She wanted to turn around and run away, but she was caught by the fourth princess. Facing the assassin, she was too frightened and fainted from fright. After she fainted, they sent her to Shi Helin There, Shi Helin said that she had a weak heart, didn't dare to take it, and even tried to ask for money. His teenage apprentice was rescued by getting an needle. After returning home, Mrs. Yang asked her to rest. Our eyeliner these days When I went to see her, she was always lying on the bed and couldn't even get off the ground."

These all sound reasonable, but when added together, the assassination of the third prince turned into a farce. Even Eunuch Gu is fine, let alone the Third Prince. The most unlucky thing was the fourth princess, who was stabbed in the face, and all the imperial doctors said that there would be scars, long and deep scars.

The prince asked again: "How did the Xu Chundao you want to get rid of be rescued by Second Young Master Shen?! Didn't they prepare for it long ago? Is that Xu Chundao a traitor?!"

The aide said: "He was so scared that he wet his pants, he must not be a traitor."

The prince scolded: "This kind of person knows nonsense, it's useless at all! Keep an eye on him and see if he is using this life-saving grace to win over him!"

Everyone responded quickly.

There was a vertical mark between the crown prince's brows, and he said thoughtfully: "Is there any change in the Northern Marquis of Bianguan Town? What has Shen Yi done?"

Someone quickly replied: "Zhenbei Hou is the same as usual, there is no abnormality. Shen Yi went to the border, and did not enter the general account of the Chinese army. Instead, he went to the place where the soldiers were stationed. Where the farming is, go to the field with the soldiers."

The prince gritted his teeth and said: "How can this be called inaction? He can put down his figure like this, and he will do great things in the future. You must keep an eye on him at all times."

The man hurriedly said: "The prince is wise."

But the wise prince was not happy, but he was short of breath. Someone said that the queen asked the prince to come over. The prince took a deep breath and walked out, leaving behind a room full of debris and a group of sweaty people.

As soon as the prince entered the gate of the queen's palace, he sensed the smell of blood in the air, presumably someone was beaten again. The surrounding palace people and eunuchs all bowed their heads and stood there, some of them were visibly trembling.

The prince cheered up and saluted the queen: "Mother, the child is back."

The queen didn't talk to the prince directly, but said to the people around: "Go down, and be more careful!" Everyone hurriedly responded, and stepped back gently, and the last one closed the palace door.

Although the prince was already twenty-one years old, at this moment, like a child, he hoped that one or two of the palace servants and eunuchs would stay, so that he didn't have to face the queen alone.
