After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Upon hearing this, Wei Xi looked up at the sky and frowned slightly: "Strange, I could hear a few birds singing just now, but now this forest is so quiet."

When Han Ziyu heard her words, he looked at her and narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this critical moment, a sound of breaking air suddenly came from among the mottled shadows of the forest.

Wei Xi's pupils suddenly shrank, and he turned around abruptly to look behind Wei Chen and yelled, "Chen'er! Get out of the way!"

As they spoke, Wei Xi and Han Ziyu moved very quickly. They quickly hugged Wei Chen and rolled to the side, avoiding the sudden arrow.

In this split second, Wei Xi suddenly thought of something and picked up the bow and arrow in his hand to block the attack from behind.

It was this obstruction that exposed the black shadow that was originally hidden in the bushes, revealing the blade under the sun.

Wei Xi narrowed his eyes and said, "Who sent you here? You know that if you assassinate a royal descendant, your entire clan will be killed!"

As she questioned, she thought in her mind that this person was definitely not sent by her father and the Han family. Today's plan was just for them to lead Wei Chen to watch a play that had been rehearsed long ago at the right time. Even if there was danger, it would not come directly towards Wei Chen.

No matter whether it is a noble family or a royal family, no one really wants Wei Chen's life.

He is far more valuable alive than dead!

Therefore, the person who came to assassinate him was an accident in the hunting ground today.

After realizing this, Wei Xi quickly thought of a countermeasure in her mind. Although she and Han Ziyu had martial arts skills, they were still not good enough compared to the skilled killing moves.

But after they fought for a while, there was no sign of any guards or secret guards around them.

But what kind of person could break through the numerous royal guards and secret guards to directly attack Wei Chen?

An idea flashed through Wei Xi's mind, but he didn't dare to confirm it. He could only look at Han Ziyu and go to the place originally arranged by his father.

If Wei Xi had maintained her original sharpness, she would have easily noticed Han Ziyu's calm eyes, but now she was facing the enemy, so she naturally missed this detail.

The two men cooperated with each other, one protected Wei Chen, and the other fought with the killer, and they fought and led them to the expected location.

Although the opponents all had killing moves, he intentionally restrained himself when facing Wei Xi and Han Ziyu, and only revealed his ferocious killing intent when he occasionally found a loophole to attack Wei Chen.

It was this period of struggle that allowed Wei Xi to re-recognize the person in front of him.

Until the familiar moves were played, Wei Xi was stunned and exclaimed: "It's you!"

It was this cry for help that gave the killer the opportunity to swung the sword in his hand towards Wei Chen again.

Wei Chen is still young after all, and has experienced many near-death experiences. His face is now pale and he looks obviously frightened.

When the long sword came again, they even forgot their instinct to escape.

But at this time, Wei Xi and Han Ziyu were too late to stop it. They could only watch the sword and couldn't help but look at Wei Chen.

Wei Xi could only rely on his subconscious reaction and pray that the damage could be reduced.

At the critical moment, a faster and more powerful arrow came and blocked the sword that was heading towards Wei Chen.

Then came a cry of "Your Highness!"

The man was wearing armor, with a long sword on his waist and a longbow in his hand, and he was running towards them.

"Chen'er!" The man ran to Wei Chen and squatted down, asking anxiously, "Are you not hurt?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Wei Chen's frightened heart could no longer control itself: "Wow...Uncle!"

While crying, he pointed at the killer with his fingers accusingly: "If you had come a little later, Chen'er would have been killed by that man!"

"My sister and cousin fought with him for a long time. I wonder if they were injured!"

Wei Xi was stunned, obviously not expecting that the visitor would be from the queen's mother's family.

She pondered in her heart, wondering how much of this was the work of the aristocratic families. With this thought, she glanced at Han Ziyu, and seeing the guilty look in his eyes, she remembered the killing move that had just stunned her, and her mind began to race.

"Come here, arrest this man and bring him before the Emperor!"

…………

Although it was just a hunt for children, seeing that His Majesty attached great importance to it, everyone focused their attention and speculated on who would be the first winner this time.

But it was still early and noisy footsteps could be heard at the exit.

The Queen's exclamation sounded earlier than everyone else's shock: "Chen'er!"

When Wei Chen heard the call, he quickly broke free from his uncle and threw himself into the queen's arms.

"Your Majesty!" He knelt on one knee, and his men pinned the assassin to the ground. "I was ordered to be responsible for the safety of this hunt, but I heard the sound of fighting in the forest. When I appeared, I caught this person who was trying to assassinate the third prince."

"Keep your head up!"

"Ah! Isn't this Han Ziyan, the bastard of the Han family?"

"He is indeed the bastard of the Han family. I heard that he is a playboy who spends all his time fighting cocks and running errands. He has no ambition to make progress!"

"I heard that he lost everything in the casino last time and accidentally killed the gambler who won his money. He was kicked out by the Han family!"

Han Zimo received the news and heard the discussion when he rushed over. He knelt down and explained to the emperor: "Your Majesty, my second brother did something wrong before. Father has sent a letter and contacted the family elders to remove him from the family tree, so he can't be considered a member of the Han family!"

"It's hard to believe that General Han keeps calling me second brother." Many people from aristocratic families came today, so naturally there would be many who would come out to defend themselves.

"Could it be that the expulsion was all a show by the Han family, and they are actually taking this opportunity to murder your Majesty's offspring?"

"Your Majesty!" Han Zimo knew that what the noble families wanted to do at this time was to accuse the Han family of murdering the heir to the throne, so he knelt down and argued: "The Han family's loyalty to Your Majesty is known to all. My grandfather and father are still serving their loyalty at the frontier. There is really no reason for them to murder the heir to the throne!"

"Who said there is no reason? The Third Prince is the only prince now. If..."

"How dare you!" The man sitting at the top slapped his hand heavily on the armrest, interrupting the man's speech, and looked at the person who had just spoken with sharp eyes as if he could see through everything.

The man shrank back in fear, then fell silent and prostrated himself on the ground to apologize.

His Majesty looked at Han Ziyan as if he were a dead person. As a man who seldom encountered the might of heaven, he was naturally so frightened that he was speechless.

"Han Ziyan is suspected of plotting to murder the heir to the throne. He will be detained for the time being. The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple will work together to investigate."

Then he stood up and returned to his tent, not seeing any court officials, nor the queen or concubine.

Facing the Queen's hateful gaze, Wei Xi pulled up Han Ziyu who was kneeling on the ground, and his eyes were attracted by the faint bloodstain left on the place where he had just knelt.

"Cousin, will His Majesty's actions... affect the Han family?"

Wei Xi sighed: "Everyone knows that this matter is not to assassinate Chen'er, but the aristocratic family will use the crime of murdering the heir to prevent my cousin from taking over the Han family army."

Han Zimo also frowned in worry: "Grandfather is old. Most people of this age would be at home enjoying their grandchildren. Father fought in the battlefield and has many hidden diseases. Now his health is getting worse. If this continues, I'm afraid the Han family army will..."
