After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

With an exclamation, Yan Yunshu stood in front of Xu Jinghuai almost without hesitation.

Xu Jinghuai was shocked and quickly hugged her around the waist and quickly moved to the side, barely avoiding it.

While they were still in shock, dozens of guards surrounded them.

Xu Jinghuai drew his sword and looked around vigilantly.

The moment he ascended the throne of crown prince, he knew that he would be in danger, but he did not expect that the danger would come so early and so quickly.

His position as the crown prince still touched the hearts of some people.

who?

He glanced in the direction of Jinghua Palace with his eyes as cold as ice.

He glanced again in the direction of Qinzheng Hall.

Anyone who dares to assassinate someone in the palace must have been lying in wait for a long time and have a powerful insider in the palace.

And the technique and force with which this sharp arrow was shot.

He actually looks about 70% like a palace guard.

Xu Jinghuai had too many questions in his mind, but when he looked around, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

There is not a single flaw to be found.

The sword is sheathed.

He looked at Yan Yunshu and said, "Don't be afraid."

Yan Yunshu's expression was unusually calm. "I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that Your Highness will abandon me again."

And left me to die alone.

Before he could even utter a word, all the memories of his past life had already surfaced before his eyes.

She gritted her teeth and continued, "Your Highness, I only want to share life and death with you. If Your Highness is gone, I will not live alone."

After he finished speaking, Xu Jinghuai looked at her in shock.

Yan Yunshu's words at this moment overlapped surprisingly with the words in her dream.

Thinking about how she had just rushed in front of him without hesitation.

In the dream, the scene of Yan Yunshu, dressed in red, pierced by countless arrows and lying in a pool of blood, appeared again.

For some reason, Xu Jinghuai always felt that everything in the dream seemed to have happened in the past.

And the bond between him and her cannot be explained in a few words.

His heart was very blocked.

……

The assassination in the palace is a top priority.

From then on, the city gates were tightly closed, and the emperor issued orders to search every inch of the place to find the assassin.

Xu Jinghuai took Yan Yunshu back to the Marquis' Mansion quietly.

The two stopped at the side door of the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion, and Xu Jinghuai finally let go of Yan Yunshu's hand.

"I won't abandon you, ever."

Yan Yunshu finally felt relieved.

"How could there be an assassin in the palace?"

In the previous life, after the Empress had an accident, assassinations began to appear in the palace, so the Emperor had no choice but to send the two princes to the Prime Minister's Residence.

But in this life, there had never been an assassin in the palace, so asking this question was naturally out of fear of provoking him, and he quickly continued to ask, "How could there be an assassin in Jingyang Palace?"

However, Xu Jinghuai was not as heavy-hearted as Yan Yunshu had imagined.

"They just wanted to intimidate me and make me back off," he said.

"who are they?"

"They..." Xu Jinghuai looked towards the palace. "They are a lot of people."

Yan Yunshu's face was filled with worry. Being in the royal family was no joke after all. Changing one thing did not guarantee a perfect ending.

Perfection only exists in endless dreams. In reality, there are mostly bloody and cruel facts.

"The struggle for imperial power is inherently filled with bloodshed and conspiracy. Don't worry about me. Everything is bound to happen."

Xu Jinghuai looked at her seriously. His crystal clear face was actually wrinkled. He reached out and gently stroked her forehead.

But Yan Yunshu looked up at him and said, "In short, don't face it alone anymore, no matter what it is."

Xu Jinghuai was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

"I promise you."

The autumn wind is blowing and it is almost noon.

As they were about to part, Yan Yunshu lowered her eyes and looked at the hem of his clothes, feeling a sense of reluctance in her heart.

"tomorrow……"

"Tomorrow I will go to the Imperial College as usual, and everything will be as usual."

Yan Yunshu was surprised. "Does the Crown Prince still need to leave the palace to attend the Imperial College? Isn't there a personal tutor for the Crown Prince..."

"Of course there is, but the palace is even less safe now. It's not as safe as before."

"Your Highness is right."

Yan Yunshu said this, looking at Xu Jinghuai with a smile.

Xu Jinghuai's heart moved. He thought that she would not understand his deep meaning and would definitely ask why the palace was not as safe as the Imperial College. He even prepared an explanation, but she did not ask.

Do you actually understand?

He wanted to say something, but he couldn't stay in front of the Marquis' Mansion for long, for fear of bringing trouble to the Mansion and turning it into a dangerous place, so he took Yan Yunshu into his arms again.

"All the turmoil is caused by the throne, but now we are in danger and assassins are everywhere. The root cause is still in the cold sand. Yan Yunshu, believe me, I will give you a peaceful and prosperous world, so that you don't have to worry anymore."

Yan Yunshu felt the heavy weight of Xu Jinghuai's words and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Peace and prosperity are all because of the sacrifices made by others.

But what is the motivation for those who give? It is so that the people they love can enjoy a prosperous life.

"Your Highness, if you were not here, the magnificent palaces and buildings of this peaceful and prosperous age would seem to me like hell on earth, with ruins and broken walls, and the world would be devoid of color."

After hearing these words, Xu Jinghuai hugged her tighter.

She once had the thought of protecting her even at the cost of her own life, but now she repeatedly told herself that she was willing to face it.

Although I don't want her to take any risk.

But he also learned a fact from that long and real dream.

That is, what she said was true.

Also, it turns out that true love does not mean keeping her in captivity and blindly giving everything to protect her, but that no matter how much you love her, you can stand shoulder to shoulder with her and face it together.

……

On this very day.

The fact that the Second Prince was appointed Crown Prince was known to the entire world.

The world was in an uproar and began a new round of discussions.

It was not surprising that the Second Prince became the Crown Prince. What was surprising was that Concubine Jing had just been executed for treason and the First Prince's party was in a state of panic, but the Emperor appointed the Second Prince as the Crown Prince just after seven days.

From then on, the Second Prince Xu Jinghuai entered the Eastern Palace.

Several days passed, and another day came.

The emperor appointed a new prime minister, the former Minister of Revenue, Lord Yan Hanxuan.

With the new Prime Minister taking office and establishing a new Prime Minister's Mansion, the past events that had finally calmed down in the Prime Minister's Mansion have once again become a hot topic and are present in the gossip on the streets.

Soon after, the marriage of Yan Yunshu, the daughter of the former prime minister, was also dragged into the gossip of the world.

Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion has changed hands, Yan Yunshu is the daughter of a criminal. Even with the promises made by the old Marquis Wen and the late emperor, she can no longer enter the royal family. So, who will be the final bride of Yan Yunshu, the former daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion?

I'm afraid only the eldest prince Xu Jingye, who is also the son of a guilty concubine, can do it.

Or it could be an ordinary official family.

After all, Yan Yunshu has the support of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. No matter how bad she is or how big her stain is, she will not fall into the dust.

As for the position of Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, naturally only Princess Fengling, the daughter of Duke Qi and the current Queen's sister Gu, or Yan Xiaoxiao, the legitimate daughter of the new Prime Minister Yan, can be qualified for the position.

In this way, several more days passed.

The emperor agreed to the request of the old Marquis Wen and made an exception to formally accept Yan Yunshu and Yan Yunyi into the Wen family and add them to the Wen family genealogy.
