The moonlight was like water, lightly sprinkled on the lake, as if covered with a layer of silver yarn. The pleasure boats on the lake lit up their lanterns one after another, and the red light was reflected on the lake, as if it was dotted with stars.

The night breeze blows gently, bringing with it the freshness of the lake water and the fragrance of flowers. The pleasure boat moves slowly in the lake. The sound of the oars hitting the water and the low and melodious opera sounds coming from the boat interweave into a moving nocturne.

Most of the people sitting and listening to the opera were women, while the male guests mostly followed the Sixth Prince to play archery and pot throwing.

The Qingyi actress on the stage was singing an emotional part when suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, followed by a "clang" and a sharp arrow was shot onto the stage.

The people sitting in the audience couldn't help but be shocked.

"Who has such poor eyesight that he didn't shoot the arrow this way? What if he hits someone?"

A lady in the crowd shouted angrily.

The Qingyi actress on the stage was so frightened that she rolled on the ground, looking at the sharp arrow that shot right at her feet and almost hit her toes, with a look of panic on her face.

Mrs. Cheng looked around with a serious expression.

She didn't think that it was shot here by mistake by some young master.

The stage was on the third floor of the pleasure boat, and they were competing on the first floor. Even if they were blind, they couldn't have shot upwards.

"Everyone, be careful and leave here first." Mrs. Cheng suddenly said.

Everyone panicked when they heard this: "Mrs. Cheng, what's going on?"

"Don't... don't scare me, I'm timid."

Just when everyone was panicking, countless sharp arrows shot towards the pleasure boat like a rain of arrows.

"Hide now."

"what……"

Someone was shot by an arrow and fell in a pool of blood with his eyes open.

They were all women, and they were terrified when they saw this scene. Screams broke out one after another, and the scene was in chaos.

"Look, that's the ship." Someone exclaimed, pointing at a cruise ship not far away.

They saw the ship coming towards them at a very fast speed. Everyone was terrified and looked for places to hide.

As the wife of a military general and today's host, Mrs. Cheng quickly calmed herself down and directed the guards on the ship to protect the guests.

Most of the female members were on the third floor of the pleasure boat, and some young men with good skills spontaneously rushed up to protect them.

With a loud bang, the pleasure boat was hit hard, and the huge impact force made

Everyone fell to the ground in a disorderly manner.

The next moment, dozens of men in black used their martial arts skills to land on the pleasure boat from the cruise ship.

For a moment, the sound of swords and sabers mixed with crying and shouting was a mess.

Gu Zhiyin separated from Fu Yunyao and Wen Shi.

The Cheng family's guards fended off the assassins while protecting her behind them.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in the corner of Gu Zhiyin's eyes. She turned around abruptly and saw a long sword slashing towards the back of a young man.

In a flash, she jumped up and slammed down hard on the assassin.

This fierce posture stunned the guards who were protecting her.

No, Princess, are you so fierce?

Don't be afraid that the sword will cut you directly.

The assassin did not expect that a weak woman who was powerless would suddenly rush towards him and knock him away.

The next moment, the guard's sword pierced the assassin's chest without any hesitation.

Gu Zhiyin fell to the ground, grimacing in pain.

The young man turned around belatedly and realized that he had just escaped death.

"Girl, you are a good person. You saved my life."

The Sixth Prince squatted in front of Gu Zhiyin and said with tears of gratitude.

"How do you think I should repay you? May I ask your name, young lady? Are you married? How about I pledge my love to you?"

Gu Zhiyin endured the pain in her body and finally climbed up. When she heard the Sixth Prince's words, she was almost frightened to her knees.

This is outrageous. How can a prince speak so carelessly?

Just as I was stunned, a voice exclaimed in my ears: "Be careful."

Sensitive to danger and with an instinct for survival, Gu Zhiyin rolled on the ground as the voice sounded.

Just as she dodged, a flaming arrow pierced the ground.

Gu Zhiyin looked up in shock and saw that several rooms at the end of the pleasure boat were on fire.

“Ahhhh, it’s so hot…”

A series of screams made Gu Zhiyin retract his gaze, and he saw that the hem of the Sixth Prince's clothes had been accidentally touched by the flames just now, and it was almost burning his buttocks.

"Get out!" Gu Zhiyin shouted.

The Sixth Prince turned his head, jumped up and down, bit his lip, and looked at Gu Zhiyin aggrievedly: "Miss, why did you suddenly turn your face and disown me?"

After all, they both had a life-and-death relationship.

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Gu Zhiyin would have rolled her eyes at the Sixth Prince.

She stood up quickly, said "I'm sorry" to the Sixth Prince, then kicked him to the ground and helped him roll over manually.

The Sixth Prince: “…”

Oh, it turns out it means rolling literally.

The fire on his body was extinguished, and the Sixth Prince sat on the ground, gasping for breath. He opened his mouth and a puff of black smoke gushed out of it. His face was charred black, and his hair was blown up.

Gu Zhiyin tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth, so as not to laugh out loud.

Because the Sixth Prince was there, several guards quickly came over and protected the people in the middle.

"Don't lose the big picture for the small one, capture the Second Prince's wife of Dayan first." The assassin looked at the increasing number of guards, exchanged a vigilant look with his companions, and then said.

After saying this, the two of them dealt with the guards and allowed the rest of the people to leave smoothly and go find the whereabouts of the Second Imperial Concubine.

Gu Zhiyin frowned slightly when she heard this.

Judging from this man's accent, he doesn't seem to be from Beijing.

They are talking about "the second prince's wife of Dayan", could she be a spy from the enemy country?

People felt safest around the Sixth Prince, and many young men and women gathered around him.

Gu Zhiyin turned around and saw Han Yutao.

"What a coincidence, Princess."

Gu Zhiyin nodded slightly and asked casually, "Where is Fu Yunjing?" As she spoke, she looked around for the figures of Wen and Fu Yunyao. Those people wanted to capture the Second Imperial Concubine and it had nothing to do with her. She only cared about her own family.

Han Yutao was stunned by the question: "I didn't see it."

"You're not together?" Gu Zhiyin looked at him in surprise.

Han Yutao shook his head.

At this time, the Sixth Prince, who was blackened by the smoke, said, "I know, he drank too much and went to the side room to rest."

Gu Zhiyin looked at the rooms that were on fire one after another, and her heart suddenly sank:

"Does your Highness know which wing he is in?"

Can you still run when you are drunk?

"The third room on the left on the second floor."

After hearing this, Gu Zhiyin quickly ran to the second floor of the pleasure boat.

Han Yutao looked at the chaotic scene and Gu Zhiyin running away: "You are trying to kill yourself."

Gu Zhiyin pursed her lips tightly and ran away without looking back.

If anything happened to Fu Yunjing, the Pingyang Palace would be broken up.

Even if my father returns with merit, it will be meaningless.
