The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Zhao Zhen was stunned for just a moment, and knowing that Qin Wan was capable of protecting himself and the child, he didn't care about anything else.

Then he started fighting with the remaining men in black.

The remaining men in black were also worried when they saw their companions fall down innocently, and some lying on the ground wailing with blood oozing out of their bodies.

Therefore, there was a sense of decadence in the momentum.

In addition, Zhao Zhen's kung fu was not weak, so even without the East Palace guards, Zhao Zhen could deal with the remaining men in black by himself.

The sounds of fighting on the street also attracted the attention of officers and soldiers. Even though there were fewer civilians on the street, there were still people. When some civilians saw the men in black, they immediately went to the yamen to report the news.

When the magistrate of Chang'an County learned about this, he immediately sent runners from the county government to provide support.

Jingzhao Yin Yang He led his troops to patrol the streets and soon arrived.

"I am late in coming to your rescue, please punish me, Your Highness!"

Zhao Zhen said coldly, "Master Yang, take all these black people to Jingzhao Yin and have a thorough trial to find out who is behind them."

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

So the officers and soldiers who came with Yang He immediately arrested all the people in black.

Qin Wan also remembered it at this time. Although she felt a little guilty, she still had to say that she thought the reason why Shi Ce and others felt weak in their legs and feet was because they ate the cold skewers of meat.

There is definitely something wrong with that middle-aged boss.

"Master Yang, there is a middle-aged man selling mutton skewers on Wanliu Street. I guess he recognized the identity of the prince and me and put drugs in the skewers, which made the guards of the Eastern Palace powerless."

"Don't worry, Princess. I will send someone to arrest the merchant right away."

Qin Wan carried the little lion into the carriage. Zhao Zhen had something to ask Qin Wan, so she didn't ride the horse and followed her into the carriage.

Officers and soldiers escorted the carriage toward the palace.

In the car, Qin Wan felt uncomfortable being stared at by Zhao Zhen, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhao Zhen looked at Qin Wan leisurely, "What do you think?"

Qin Wan dodged for a moment, "How should I know? I'm not a worm in your stomach!"

Zhao Zhen leaned forward, "Oh? You don't know? I think you should know."

Qin Wan pretended to be confused and shook her head, "I don't know!"

The little lion also woke up because of the sound of fighting, but he was not afraid at all.

Maybe it was because he had seen too many bandits blocking the road on his way back to Beijing last year, so he was not scared at all by the assassination tonight.

He first looked at Zhao Zhen, then at Qin Wan.

He said calmly, "Mom, please show me that black thing!"

Qin Wan: “…”

This leak is so big, why are you bringing up such a big issue?

The corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth curled up slightly, "Yes, look, the little lion is curious!"

Qin Wan would not admit it. She would not talk about the pistol. "What black thing? No!"

"Mom, it's the thing that makes a banging sound. It's fun. The little lion wants it too!"

Zhao Zhen also laughed at this time, "Yes, not only does the little lion want it, I want it too!"

In order to talk to Qin Wan, the little lion has taken turns sitting on Zhao Zhen's lap. Now, the father and son have exactly the same face, both looking at Qin Wan expectantly.

Qin Wan started to act like a rogue, "Don't ask, there's nothing!"

Qin Wan took out her pistol tonight because she saw Zhao Zhen being besieged by more than a dozen people. Even if he had high martial arts skills, he could not defeat four people with two fists.

What's more, these men in black are quite skilled in martial arts. If Qin Wan hadn't seen someone trying to hurt Zhao Zhen, she wouldn't have taken action.

Seeing Qin Wan's insistence, Zhao Zhen said, "If it's inconvenient, I won't ask again in the future."

Zhao Zhen knew that Qin Wan still had a grudge against their Zhao family. She gave her the recipe for gunpowder at the beginning, but on the way back to Beijing, she was tested by her father.

"Don't worry about what happened today. The East Palace guards will not leak it. I will take care of the aftermath."

Qin Wan nodded, "Thank you!"

When Zhao Zhen heard Qin Wan thanking him, she was really a little angry, "You and I are husband and wife, it's too polite to say thank you!"

Sometimes, Zhao Zhen felt helpless because he found that Qin Wan was a hard-hearted woman.

The two slept in the same bed at night, did the most intimate things, and had a child.

But emotionally, Qin Wan still had reservations about him.

She is not devoted to him!

Thinking of her past self, Zhao Zhen admitted that Qin Wan's behavior was understandable.

After all, he left her on their wedding night, and it was he who forced her to be together for the first time. It was very rare that they could get along so harmoniously now.

He never lacked patience.

He believed that as long as he persisted, Qin Wan would keep him in her heart.

In the future, my heart and eyes will be filled with him.

Thinking of this, the confident Zhao Zhen's expression softened again.

Qin Wan had been carefully observing Zhao Zhen's expression, and thought that if she insisted on not speaking, Zhao Zhen would be angry.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen didn't do that. Now it seemed as if the one with a cold face just now was not him.

Qin Wan didn't want the atmosphere to be too awkward, so she found a topic to talk about, "Zhao Zhen, who sent those people?"

Zhao Zhen also remembered that the man in black not only knew their identities, but also had obviously ambushed them long ago. "I think they are coming for you and Little Lion."

Qin Wan also nodded, "Yes, they probably want me to leave, and from what I heard, they want to capture me alive."

Qin Wan touched her chin and analyzed carefully, "Since they didn't want to kill me, it might not be the other women in your backyard. After all, my hatred for them is not that deep now, so it's a bit risky to assassinate me."

Zhao Zhen was dissatisfied with Qin Wan's mention of other women. Zhao Zhen regretted it very much. She should have rejected her father earlier. Now she would not be at a loss as to how to deal with those people.

She has already married into the Eastern Palace and there is no going back.

However, letting them live out their lives alone is too cruel to these young women.

It would be nice if I could get married.

Zhao Zhen had this idea more than once.

"No, it's probably not their work. I do have a guess in my mind."

"Who is it?" Qin Wan asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, this man in black might be Shang Yunze's man from the northwest!" Zhao Zhen thought of the secret recipe of gunpowder, and thought Shang Yunze must have come for this.

Qin Wan's eyes rolled and she figured it out. "Maybe it was really them. But, how did we get drugged on the road and our identities were exposed? I think I dressed well!"

Zhao Zhen glanced at the little lion and said helplessly: "With this kid here, no matter how you dress up, it will be useless!"

Qin Wan: “…”

How could I forget?

The little lion is a living target and it is useless no matter how he changes.

Qin Wan helplessly grabbed the little lion's hair and said, "Little lion, when you go out of the palace from now on, you should wear a hat!"
