"It is also my fault that I am useless and hold His Majesty back."

Shen Yunjin was very embarrassed. She thought she was a heroine, but unexpectedly she fainted.

"No, you helped me a lot!"

Xiao Minshen turned around and spoke with a firm tone.

"How did you think of pulling out the arrow, and how did you think of throwing the body out?"

An ordinary woman would be extremely panicked in that situation.

Shen Yunjin actually remembered and told the guards to do so.

"I just want to prevent people from knowing that the prince has an iron mine that can make arrows. What if someone with ulterior motives spreads rumors to the emperor?"

"Also, the people that day were clearly coming for the Prince Qi's Mansion. I just don't want people to make up stories and throw dirty water on the Prince Qi's Mansion."

At that time, Shen Yunjin's sixth sense told her that this was the way to handle it.

"You did a great job, better than many men!" Xiao Minshen praised.

"Why did those people target Prince Qi's Mansion?" This question had been lingering in Shen Yunjin's mind for a long time.

"It's a long story." Xiao Minshen put the little tiger between the two of them, leaning against the bed.

"Do you still remember the time when I was assassinated on my way back from flood control in the south?"

"Remember, the prince was later rescued by Princess Gao Li." Shen Yunjin still remembers this clearly.

Xiao Minshen lost her memory after being injured that time, and even forgot who she was.

"I have been investigating who did this. Later, I found out that Princess Anyang had hired a group of assassins."

"Princess Anyang? Why does she want to kill the prince?"

"Because of the former prince!" A hint of murderous intent flashed across Xiao Minshen's peach blossom eyes.

"She thinks that it is because of me that my father abolished the crown prince."

"Isn't it because of what happened between Ning Ruyan and the Crown Prince's Mansion?"

"She thought that it was me who abandoned Ning Ruyan first, so she seduced the prince, which led to the revelation of those old stories in the prince's mansion."

Shen Yunjin's eyes widened, "This is too unfair to Your Majesty."

"Princess Gao Li was actually the helper she hired." Xiao Minshen continued.

"Princess Gao Li and Princess Anyang are familiar with each other?" Shen Yunjin was curious.

"Not really." Xiao Minshen looked at the curtain above his head with a far-reaching gaze.

"More than a decade ago, the Xiongnu Khan proposed to live in peace with our dynasty and paid tribute to our dynasty with a hundred fine horses, as well as various gold, silver and jewelry."

"To show their sincerity, the Xiongnu Khan proposed to marry our princess as queen."

"Princess Anyang was still young at the time, and the queen was reluctant to let her marry far away, so she adopted a girl and named her Qingping."

"Princess Qingping's parents had both passed away and she was ostracized by her clan. The queen not only adopted her as her daughter, but also prepared a generous dowry for her and treated her like Anyang. I heard that Qingping was very grateful to the queen for pulling her out of the quagmire."

"Your Highness, do you mean that Princess Anyang and Princess Qingping have always been in contact? Princess Gao Li was called by Princess Qingping to marry?"

Xiao Minshen nodded in appreciation.

"Princess Gao Li and her friends' original plan was to find a prince to be his principal wife, and then support the prince to ascend the throne."

"When Princess Gaoli gives birth to another legitimate son, our kingdom will be ruled by the Xiongnu."

"What a vicious plot." Shen Yunjin couldn't help but be shocked after hearing it.

"Unfortunately, Princess Gao Li is still a woman. The Huns calculated everything, but they didn't take into account our dynasty's rule that men should be older than women."

"My second brother must have sent someone to eavesdrop on their plan, and he took action in advance, forcing Princess Gao Li to marry him."

"Oh, so their target was the prince, but he was intercepted by the second prince." Shen Yunjin realized it belatedly.

"Yes, what my second brother wants is the support behind Princess Gao Li."

"But what does this have to do with Prince Qi's Mansion? What does the Second Prince want to do? Why does he want to silence Prince Qi's Mansion? That day, that person specifically wanted to kill me."

When Shen Yunjin recalled it now, he realized that there should have been more than one group of people besieging Prince Qi's Mansion at that time.

"There were two groups of people who besieged the Prince of Qi's mansion that day. One group was sent by Princess Anyang to take advantage of the situation, and the other group was sent by Princess Gao Li."

"Their goal is to kill you and Little Tiger. This way, I will be left alone. When the time comes, the Xiongnu will send another princess to marry me. I will be left alone and will definitely be devoted to them."

Shen Yunjin couldn't help but shiver.

Xiao Minshen put his arm around her and patted her.

"That day, I was assigned to escort the princess' family out of the border. Halfway through, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that the number of people was not right."

"Mo Yi secretly checked and found that many of the soldiers in the team were not real Xiongnu soldiers. They were just merchants from our dynasty wearing Xiongnu clothes."

"I know I have been tricked, but because the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, I must send him to the border before returning to the court."

"Unexpectedly, those people received the order to delay the king, and they dragged their feet all the way. It took them half a day to walk a distance that should only take one or two hours."

"I waited for them to reach the border and started to rush back. When I came back, I saw a street in front of the palace on fire."

"I asked Fulu to report to my father and rushed back on the pretext that I had to put out a fire."

Having said this, Xiao Minshen stopped.

When he thought of what he saw that day, he felt as if his heart was being pulled.

"Fortunately, the prince has come back." Shen Yunjin felt Xiao Minshen's depression.

"I shouldn't have left at that time, otherwise the following events wouldn't have happened."

This is something that Xiao Minshen has always been worried about.

At that time, he saw many Hun soldiers among the besiegers and felt puzzled.

Seeing that there were no casualties in the palace, he wanted to find out what was going on, so he chased after the Huns.

They rode fast on horseback and soon captured a small leader.

Xiao Minshen ordered Mo Yi to find out the truth and return home immediately.

When he was halfway there, he saw the signal flares from the mansion. At that time, he wished he could grow wings under his armpits!

When he thought about it now, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Shen Yunjin was finally rescued, but he was in a coma for three days and three nights.

He went to the palace and asked his father for permission to allow Imperial Physician Li to come and treat Shen Yunjin.

After examining the patient, Imperial Doctor Li said that Shen Yunjin's emotions were volatile due to pregnancy, and she was frightened, so the condition was a self-protective reaction of her body.

He also said that Shen Yunjin would wake up naturally after getting enough sleep.

If it weren't for Doctor Li's old age, he would have thrown the person out.

"Those Huns who stayed behind shouldn't be as easy to deal with as the Prince of Qi's Palace, right?"

If they were just dealing with the Prince of Qi's Palace, there would be no need for so many Hun soldiers to travel across mountains and rivers.

The Prince of Qi was just an unpopular prince, and Princess Gao Li had already been married to the second prince by the Emperor at that time.

"Their purpose is to rebel!"
