On the way back to the mansion, Meng Yunshang's carriage suddenly stopped. She heard Xuan Wu's reminder, "Princess, we are surrounded."

"Can you tell where they're coming from?"

"Looks like a dead soldier."

It is not an ordinary family that can raise a group of death warriors.

Meng Yunshang lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. This place was far away from the princess's residence, but outside the protection area of ​​Prince Heng's residence.

It's really a good place to get started.

Moreover, there were more than thirty people on the other side, and the cold light on their swords seemed to say that they had no intention of letting her leave alive.

"Danqiu, Dangui go out to meet the enemy, Fuling will act according to circumstances and find a place to hide."

Fuling asked anxiously, "What about you, Princess?"

Meng Yunshang chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to me."

Dan Gui reminded her in a low voice, "Princess, your spear is in its old place in the carriage."

Meng Yunshang nodded to show that she understood.

The battle was about to break out, Xuan Wu and Xuan Qi took the lead, while Dan Gui and Dan Qiu guarded the carriage.

A long arrow shot into the carriage, passed through Meng Yunshang's eyes, and pierced into the wall of the carriage.

It was right next to Fuling's ear, scaring her so much that she almost screamed.

Seeing the sound of breaking air coming again, Meng Yunshang grabbed Fuling and broke out of the carriage window. She found a gap and used her internal force to push Fuling far away from the encirclement.

The long sword slashed in front of him, but was blocked by Xuan Qi. Meng Yunshang then dodged to the shaft of the carriage and pulled out the black iron spear that Dan Gui had hidden on the side of the carriage.

With the spear in hand, she joined the battle like a fish in water.

Originally, those assassins regarded Meng Yunshang as their number one target. When they saw her come out, everyone surrounded her, only to find that she was much more difficult to deal with than the other four.

The dazzling gun flowers made it impossible for anyone to get close to her. The carefully crafted gun head could cut through iron like mud, and she was like entering an empty space.

With the assistance of Xuan Wu, Xuan Qi, Dan Gui and Dan Qiu, the assassins were quickly defeated.

By the time Lu Chenxiao arrived on horseback, the battle was over and the ground was filled with black-clad assassins.

Even the assassins who shot arrows secretly were shot down by the hairpin that Meng Yunshang pulled from her head.

"Mother!"

Huai'an was held in Lu Chenxiao's arms the whole way. He knew the situation was urgent, so even though he was about to vomit from being shaken, he didn't say a word. He just wanted to see his mother as soon as possible.

Now that he finally saw that his mother was safe and sound, he couldn't wait to slide down from his father's arms despite being still on the horse.

Meng Yunshang was frightened by the dangerous action and quickly threw away her spear to catch him in her arms.

"Mom, are you okay? Huai An is so worried about you."

As soon as the little guy entered his mother's arms, he hugged her neck tightly, hanging his whole body in her arms, and refused to let go.

Meng Yunshang held the little guy in one hand and patted his back with the other hand to comfort him, "Mom is fine."

"If I had known it was so dangerous to go to the banquet at the Princess's Mansion, Huai'an would have gone with mother."

At this time, Lu Chenxiao also dismounted and came over, hugged both mother and son tightly in his arms, and echoed in a deep voice, "Let's do it together next time."

Meng Yunshang raised her head and met Lu Chenxiao's dark and deep gaze. She subconsciously called out, "Prince..."

"Uncle Lu Kang just said that when mother was in danger, father almost lost his balance. Mother, father is also worried about you."

Meng Yunshang gently scratched the little guy's nose and smiled at him, "Thank you Huai'an for telling me this."

"You're welcome. Although I sometimes dislike my father, I'm an honest person and I won't hide the fact that my father cares about my mother."

Meng Yunshang felt a little embarrassed when he said that he cared about her. However, Lu Chenxiao nodded solemnly at this moment, "He is right. I am very worried about you and I care about you."

Meng Yunshang's face became even hotter.

She freed one hand, took the initiative to hug Lu Chenxiao's waist, and whispered, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I like it very much."

Especially after seeing that Song Jinyan still had the leisure to gossip with others when he knew that Meng Shuyao had a miscarriage and her life was in danger, she cherished even more his rare kindness of rushing to her when he learned that she was in trouble.

Lu Chenxiao felt a heat in his waist and was ecstatic. She took the initiative to respond to him. Did it mean that he had taken another step forward?

Someone was so happy and proud in his heart that he held Meng Yunshang even more tightly than before.

Until Xuan Wu came and asked, "My Lord, Princess, what should we do with these bodies?"

At this time, Dan Gui came over holding a token, "Princess, I found this on them."

Lu Chenxiao took the token, identified it and said, "This is Princess Shun'an's private order. Not many people in the court know about it."

He knew this because he had seen it several times by accident when he was young and was with his father.

Because the victim was Meng Yunshang, Lu Chenxiao asked her directly, "How does the princess want to deal with this?"

"Send them back to the princess's mansion and place them in the courtyards of Princess Shun'an and Prince Zuo."

"Okay, besides this, is there anything else that the princess needs me to do?"

"If possible, please come to the palace. Today, Prince Zuo and Princess Wen were in public and couldn't help themselves. I'm afraid this matter can't be concealed. For the sake of the royal family's reputation, it's better to grant the marriage as soon as possible."

Lu Chenxiao heard something unusual and asked her anxiously, "Did the princess suffer any injustice today?"

"If I told you that if I hadn't brought Fuling with me today, I would be the one who couldn't help myself in public, what would you think?"

Meng Yunshang said it calmly, but Dangui didn't want her princess to be wronged.

She was filled with righteous indignation and recounted the entire story of how Meng Yunshang was ignored when she entered the princess's mansion, how Zuo Zhaoyang teased her in public, how Princess Shun'an and Meng Xueyun disregarded the ancestral rules and suppressed Meng Yunshang, how Wen Liuli supported her in various ways, and finally how Wen Liuli and Zuo Youran conspired to ruin the princess's reputation.

Meng Yunshang did not stop Dangui from complaining.

She is not a clay figure without temper. She will definitely speak out if she is wronged. There is no reason for her to humble herself just for the sake of face.

"They are so brave!"

Lu Chenxiao's face turned livid with anger. He didn't know that a flower-viewing banquet could give rise to so many vicious thoughts.

If he had known, he would never let her participate no matter what, and she had suffered so much injustice in vain.

"I will send you back to the palace, and then I will go to the palace to talk to my brother and seek justice for you."

Meng Yunshang nodded. After all, Princess Shunan was from the royal family. If they wanted to make her suffer a public defeat, they could only start with the emperor.

But she will not be soft-hearted when it comes to the soft knife in the dark.

After having Fuling found, Meng Yunshang took Huai'an back to the palace.

Xuan Wu and Xuan Qi were responsible for transporting those assassins back to the princess's mansion, preparing to hang them in the courtyard of Princess Shun'an and Zuo Zhaoyang in the middle of the night.

The mother and son took a bath, changed clothes, ate something to fill their stomachs, and then began to take a nap.

Lu Chenxiao rushed to the palace without stopping.

In the imperial study, Emperor Yuan Qing rubbed his temples with a headache and asked Eunuch Shun to come forward and get him a cup of hot tea.

Just as she was about to complain to Eunuch Shun, she heard a palace servant outside report, "Prince Heng wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan Qing immediately signaled to Eunuch Shun, "Quickly summon him. I just want to find him."
