When the assassination started, Murong Kai was really worried, fearing that these assassins would endanger the lives of A'man and Jinxuan, so he asked someone to take them away first while he attracted the assassins' attention.
But not long after Ah Man left, Murong Kai discovered something unusual, because Zhen Junran suddenly appeared beside the carriage and told the people in the carriage again and again that everything was fine, and the sounds of fighting coming from his direction always ended quickly.
It was just an artificially created story of a hero saving a beauty, but it was a pity that the guards and palace maids outside the carriage became victims. The Zhen family was really daring, and they would do anything to get Ah Man to marry them.
After understanding the truth, Murong Kai was no longer in a hurry and sat quietly in the carriage. Anyway, someone was fighting for him, so he just sat there and watched the show.
Therefore, Ah Man, who thought the situation was critical and who was extremely worried, was now sitting leisurely in the carriage, patiently listening to the movements outside, without any danger at all.
Zhen Junran was having a great time killing people outside, but only he knew that those people he knocked to the ground were only slightly injured. When he was done and took Princess Jiaoyang away, they would get up immediately. This was something they had planned long ago, just to win Princess Jiaoyang's heart.
"A'man, don't worry. I'm here and no one can hurt you." While he was "killing" people, he spoke to A'man in the carriage, but there was no movement in the carriage, as if everyone was frightened.
As Zhen Junran thought about it, he became more and more excited, and his hands worked harder. However, there were too many assassins, and it would take time to kill them all. He was really impatient to get into the carriage and comfort Ah Man's frightened heart.
But these assassins were stupid. They could not see Zhen Junran's anxiety at all and still rushed towards him.
No matter how brave Zhen Junran was, he gradually became tired and exhausted after fighting against so many assassins.
At this time, a pair of people came charging over. To be exact, there were only a few people, but they were full of blood and fierce, with murderous intent. Zhen Junran wanted to stop them, but he had a position to stand on, so he could only fight with them.
Because of their participation, the assassins were quickly beaten to pieces, and soon, they were lying on the ground covered in blood.
Murong Kai had heard the noise outside a long time ago, but he didn't come out because he didn't want to upset Zhen Junran. When the dust settled, he pushed open the door of the carriage, looked at his blood-stained guards, and ordered, "Go and see if these assassins are dead. Anyone who dares to assassinate the prince and princess will be killed without mercy."
Looking at the person who popped his head out of the carriage, Zhen Junran was completely stunned.
How could it be the little eunuch from before? He was only wearing a middle-length robe, but he was holding a few gold and jade hairpins and rings in his hands. He was familiar with those hairpins and jade ornaments, as he had worn them on Princess Jiaoyang's head this morning.
Now, what else did he not understand? The little eunuch who was escorted away by the guards was the Princess Jiaoyang whom he had to protect. His hard work just now was not for Princess Jiaoyang, but for this stinky eunuch...
And what did this eunuch order? He wanted to see if the assassins were dead...
"No, you can't..." Zhen Junran shouted instinctively. If these people really died as the eunuch wished, how would he explain to that person? He would...
"Why not? Wasn't Master Zhen in a killing mood just now? He also vowed to protect the princess to the death, but now he is speaking for these assassins. They intend to kill the princess and the prince, which is a heinous crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan."
Murong Kai spoke slowly, and every word hung like a sharp blade over Zhen Junran's head.
"That's not what I meant. If they dare to assassinate the prince and the princess, it should be a death sentence. When I said no, I meant how could it be you and the princess in the carriage?" Zhen Junran looked anxious, but deep down, he was already in a panic.
What should he do now? It seems that he can only watch these "assassins" being killed while pretending to be dead. What should he do? What should he do
Zhen Junran, who had a smug look on his face before, now had no color on his face. He looked at Murong Kai blankly, as if he was a puppet whose spirit had been drained out.
