On the way back to Beijing, Rongchuan had disguised himself, but he still couldn't escape the eyes of the spies and was ambushed in the mountains.
Ever since Rongchuan had the assassination experience, he has practiced martial arts more seriously. After returning to the royal family, his father prepared the best martial arts master for him. Now he has good martial arts skills and can actually fight with assassins.
There are many assassins, and they must keep him regardless of life and death. He has a lot of people around him, and no matter how much preparation he makes, they can't resist the number of assassins.
Xue Han didn't want to go with Rongchuan. She could go to Brother Wu Ming's house and wait. Her idea was good, but reality didn't allow it.
She is the Princess of Qin, and everyone knows about her relationship with Rongchuan. She is afraid that someone will capture her, so the best option is to return to the capital together.
There were constant sounds of fighting and clashing outside. Xue Han pursed her lips and said nothing. If she screamed, Rongchuan would be distracted. But when she saw the knife chopping towards Rongchuan's arm, she couldn't help but rush forward. She lay down by the window to watch over her husband's safety.
Rongchuan was wearing soft armor and dodged in time, so his arm was not cut off, but he was still seriously injured. His arm was instantly stained red. Fortunately, the guards rushed over and killed the assassin.
The guard tore the cloth apart and simply tied it up, then turned around to fight off the assassin again.
Xue Han covered her mouth with her hands, calmed down for a while, and then slowly released her hands.
Rong Chuan pursed his lips. He really spent a lot of money to kill him. It was not easy to train an assassin, especially an assassin who was not afraid of life and death. He turned his head to look at his wife, and his pupils suddenly contracted. An assassin actually broke the glass.
Rongchuan turned around in a hurry, exposing his back to the assassin. The assassin's knife slashed Rongchuan's back. If the fight had not lasted for a long time and his physical strength had not been greatly reduced, the knife would have not only cut through the soft armor.
The female officials in the carriage were competing in martial arts, but the space inside the carriage affected their performance. The female officials were already injured and ultimately failed to block the assassin's sword, and their bodies were pierced.
Xue Han dodged several times and her stomach was already feeling very uncomfortable. Seeing the assassin was about to get on the carriage, Rong Chuan rushed over, but he was still a step too late. Xue Han was grabbed by the sleeve, and the assassin's force was so great that Xue Han fell down.
Xue Han gave in to her maternal instinct and tried not to press on her belly. She used her other hand to hold up the carpet to make room for her belly. The assassin did not let go of her hand and wanted to pull him out.
Rongchuan killed the assassin with one knife, and his eyes turned red when he saw the blood in the carriage.
Xue Han's arm hurt a lot, she must have sprained it, and her stomach was also uncomfortable, but she still raised her head and comforted him, "I'm fine."
This was Xue Han's first face-to-face contact with a dead person. She grew up in a simple environment, with no dirt in the backyard. She was spoiled after she got married, and there was no trouble in the backyard of the palace. She was pregnant and everyone protected her, so her hands were always clean.
Rongchuan wanted to help his wife up, but he couldn't because the assassin behind him was already rushing over.
Xue Han couldn't move either. Her stomach would ache if she moved. She just hoped it would be over soon. The blood of a female official and a midwife was all over the carriage.
Xue Han's plain clothes had been dyed red, but her blood was still warm. Her heart went from fear to numbness. She knew she would die if she couldn't make it, so what was there to be afraid of? But her stomach still felt like vomiting. She thought that if she could survive, she would never eat red again in her life.
Time passed by little by little, and there were only a few guards left, but there were still many assassins. Rongchuan had many wounds of varying sizes on his body. If he had not had the belief in his heart to protect his wife and children, he would have fallen.
When Rongchuan thought that he and his wife would die here today, the emperor's death squad arrived. These were not the death squads from the capital, but the death squads from various states. After receiving the order, they dispatched personnel nearby to support the King of Qin.
When the leader of this team of death squads saw that the King of Qin was covered in wounds and his carriage was oozing with blood, his heart skipped a beat and his heart sank.
The assassins rushed over to protect the King of Qin and the carriage, and the assassin died unwillingly.
Rongchuan held on and did not look at the leader of the assassins. Instead, he let go of the sword and walked towards the carriage. When he saw his wife unconscious, he looked at the blood-stained clothes on her body. His anger grew stronger and stronger, and he finally fainted.
Rong Chuan's fainting almost scared everyone to death. The leader quickly sent someone to treat his injuries and asked female warriors to take care of Princess Qin.
The leader was so anxious that he was walking around in circles. The Prince of Qin was in a bad condition, with wounds all over his body. He didn't know if the baby in the Prince of Qin's wife's belly could be saved. He could imagine the reactions of the Emperor and the Retired Emperor after he returned to Beijing.
Zhou Shuren came back in the evening. He believed in his wife's intuition. His children and grandchildren were all in high danger. After comparing them, Chang Lian was the safest.
Rongchuan is the King of Qin, the emperor's biological brother, and the person most likely to fight on the emperor's behalf.
If he was the leader of the tribes, he would definitely send people to assassinate the King of Qin. The death of the King of Qin would be a great blow to the royal family, and it would also affect morale before the war started. It would also be a bit unlucky. This is why the ancients believed in this.
The twins didn't know where they were, so they were relatively safe.
After hearing the analysis, Zhulan became more and more uneasy, "Xuehan is pregnant."
Zhou Shuren was also worried. When they first arrived, the little girl was the youngest. He raised the little girl with his own hands, so his feelings for her were indeed deeper than those for the older girl. "I just hope Rongchuan can protect Xuehan well."
The couple didn't know that their analysis was completely correct. They went to bed worriedly and didn't sleep well the whole night.
Zhulan was completely exhausted when she got up. She lay in the rocking chair unwilling to move. When her daughters-in-law came to see her, she sent them all away.
In the palace, the bond between mother and child is not just talk. The Empress Dowager was also not feeling well yesterday.
The Emperor said: "Don't worry about Rongchuan. The guards around Rongchuan are all experts. They will protect Rongchuan well."
"I'm still worried. I rarely get nervous. Something must have happened to Rongchuan."
The retired emperor was actually also worried, so he comforted his wife and turned to look for the emperor.
The emperor did not wait for his father to speak, and said first: "Zhou Shuren almost fell asleep in the court today."
The Emperor, "He has indeed worked hard these days."
Not only does it take a lot of brainpower to make arrangements, but you also have to keep an eye on it personally, so it's normal to feel tired.
The emperor shook his head, "He was in good spirits yesterday."
The retired emperor was concerned this time and sent someone to ask about it. He found out that it was because she did not get enough rest. He also knew that Yang was nervous. The retired emperor pursed his lips and said nothing.
When the emperor heard his father say that mother and son are connected by heart, he felt very nervous. If something really happened to his younger brother, his father and mother would not be able to bear it, and he would also blame himself.
The Emperor clenched his hands and said, "Send more people to welcome Rongchuan and his wife back to Beijing."
The Emperor: "Okay."
In the mountain village, the leader of the death squad did not dare to move the King of Qin and his wife. The King of Qin was no longer in danger of death, and he had to slowly heal his wounds. There were too many injuries, big and small, and the most serious ones were his arms and legs.
The Princess of Qin had a miscarriage, so he specially selected two medical experts to follow her. Fortunately, he thought it through carefully, and the baby in the Princess of Qin's belly was almost lost.
Fortunately, he arrived in time. Almost, almost, they would have to die to atone for their sins. The emperor would not care how tired they were from the journey, but only care that they did not arrive in time, and that was a sin.
Rongchuan finally woke up in the afternoon. When he saw his wife beside him, he felt relieved. Then he raised his hand to touch his wife's belly. He was already mentally prepared that he could not keep the child. After touching the belly, his eyes widened with surprise.
The child is fine, the wife is fine, the three of them are really lucky this time, they almost died in this ravine.
In the capital, at Liu's house, Guo came home and saw her son was about to go out. She looked at the sky and asked, "It's getting late. Why are you still going out?"
Liu Yuanbo looked sullen, "I promised Mr. Zhou San to have tea with me today."
Mrs. Guo patted her son's shoulder and said, "Don't be stingy. Make sure you bring enough money. You must be generous. He is your future uncle."
