I simply jumped off the horse myself. "It's okay. I can walk by myself anyway. I don't have to ride a horse."

"This..." He was a little embarrassed for a moment. If he didn't do the job well according to the prince's order, it would be difficult to complete the task.

A sound similar to a bamboo whistle was heard in the distance, crossing the sky and exploding in the sky.

The man leading the horse was stunned. "That's His Highness's signal for help!"

There were more than a dozen people in their team, and they seemed to be experts. How could they not even handle a tiger? I'm afraid they had run into some other trouble. I said to the man, "It seems that the prince needs more help. Why don't you go over there first? I can go back by myself."

He was still hesitant when he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching.

But there were only horses, no people.

The horse rushed towards us like crazy, and the man quickly led our horse aside to make way.

Only after the crazy horse ran past did we see blood all over the ground. The horse was injured.

"It's an arrow wound! Your Highness has been assassinated!" The man holding the horse's head turned pale, "Madam, quickly find a place to hide. Don't come out until you hear the peace bell!"

An assassin has sneaked into the paddock? I was shocked.

The prince's men had already mounted their horses and were heading for support, so of course he had to take care of his master first. If something happened to the prince, he would lose his head, so he had to put aside such trivial matters as escorting a marquis' wife.

I expressed my understanding and quickly hid in the bushes by the roadside.

I don't know how long I hid, but I felt many insect bites on my face, but I didn't dare to move.

Time has passed so slowly, and I don't know anything about this assassination incident. It is not even mentioned in the original novel.

The sound of horse hooves approached from far away, and I heard a muffled sound, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground, and the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away. The surroundings returned to silence, and I risked my life to stick my head out to take a look.

There was a man lying on the mountain path not far ahead, with half an arrow sticking out of his back. The pattern on his clothes looked a bit like that of the prince.

I gasped, ran forward, dragged the prince back into the bushes, and then used the dust on the ground to cover the bloodstains.

It’s over, it’s over. How could the prince be hit by an arrow?

Even if there were assassins in the enclosure, shouldn't the emperor be the only one who got hurt in the end?

The prince will ascend the throne in the future, he won’t just die like this.

I carefully dragged him deeper into the bushes to prevent the pursuers from finding us with a little more searching.

After checking the prince's injury again, he was shot in the left chest by an arrow, and the arrowhead had penetrated through the chest and was completely exposed. However, this kind of penetration was at least better than the situation where the arrow was inside the body, and the wound would bleed much slower.

But I stared at the bloody arrow for a while and felt that it looked familiar, and the more I thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.

Wait a minute, isn’t that the arrow from the Marquis’ Mansion?

This was the kind of arrow that Ji Feng gave me before. The arrowhead was spiral-shaped and extremely sharp, and the damage it caused was extremely severe.

But why is there an arrow from the Marquis's Mansion stuck in the prince's body now? Murdering the crown prince is a serious crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family!

Cold sweat was already oozing out of my forehead.

By the way, he had someone give me a bottle of trauma medicine, which should be used to stop bleeding.

I quickly took it out, tore open his clothes, and sprinkled some on the wounds on the front and back.

Judging from the location of the wound, it should have only penetrated the muscles and not damaged the internal organs. Although the prince fainted, as long as he received timely treatment, his life would not be in danger.

But I still thought it was too simple.

When the sound of dead branches being trampled suddenly appeared behind me, I clearly heard the beast's breathing and snoring from its throat.
