Dethroned the Crown Princess? Then she became your mother

Eunuch An stood there quietly without saying much. He just responded again with a respectful yet firm attitude, then he turned his gaze away from His Majesty and glanced at the crowd present.

Everyone also cast expectant glances at Eunuch An, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Eunuch An coughed lightly and said apologetically, "Everyone, I'm sorry for the offense."

"It's okay, it's okay." Someone glanced at His Majesty cautiously, only to see that His Majesty ignored them, and speculated in his heart.

Seeing this, Murong Shuo had no intention of staying any longer. He left the others behind, took only a few guards with him, turned around and mounted his warhorse, whipped it away, and decided to return to the dragon tent.

"Your Majesty!" Someone wanted to call out, but Murong Shuo ignored them and didn't even turn his head.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch An quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Your Majesty has encountered an assassin, so he should go back and rest for a while. Everyone..." He smiled slightly, implying that His Majesty kept them so that they could properly handle the subsequent matters.

His eyes inadvertently swept over the woman who was helped up beside him. The woman was staring at the back of His Majesty as he left.

Who was this woman? Where did she come from? Eunuch An was filled with doubts; he had never heard of her existence.

Taking a closer look, the woman was quite pretty, with fair skin and a delicate face. But...

Eunuch An muttered to himself that he would definitely get to the bottom of it later.

"Everyone." He spoke again, trying to draw everyone's attention back to the business.

At the same time, Murong Shuo had already galloped back to the dragon tent. He glanced at the guards who followed him in with a cold gaze, his brow furrowed, and then ordered, "Quickly call the imperial physician!"

"As you command, we'll be there immediately!" The guard looked up and noticed that His Majesty's hand was clenched into a fist, and blood seemed to be dripping. "Your Majesty!"

"Go quickly!" Murong Shuo still stared at the guards, without any doubt.

The guards took their orders and left. Murong Shuo then called for the others, quickly preparing hot water and bringing them to the dragon tent. He glanced outside the tent and ordered them to help him bathe and change his clothes, removing his dusty hunting suit.

At this time, the imperial physicians were either serving in the prince's tent or awaiting orders outside. All of them had heard the news of the emperor's assassination, and they were all terrified. Upon hearing the emperor's summons, they hurriedly brought their medicine boys and hurried to the dragon tent to pay their respects.

After paying their respects, the imperial doctors were about to leave when they heard the emperor's voice: "Come in, all of you, come in!"

They were startled and hurried into the dragon tent. They saw that the emperor had already bathed and changed his clothes. He had already taken off his hunting clothes, and the corners of his clothes were still slightly damp. They also noticed the emperor's injury—not the vital one they had imagined, just a shallow cut on his hand. Although not serious, it was a matter of the emperor's health and could not be taken lightly.

"Your Majesty." The imperial doctors addressed him cautiously.

Murong Shuo waved his hand impatiently: "Stop rambling! Tell me about my injuries."

"Your Majesty, is your hand injured?" an imperial physician asked tentatively.

Murong Shuo did not answer, but just signaled them to deal with it quickly.

Upon seeing this, the imperial doctors rushed forward to bandage the emperor's wounds.

After finishing the treatment, the doctors stepped back and Murong Shuo carefully examined the patient before inquiring about the prince's condition. The two doctors reported the prince's condition separately.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still unconscious, sometimes awake and sometimes asleep.

"Yeah." Murong Shuo nodded, thinking to himself that he needed to send someone to keep a close eye on the Crown Prince. After a while, he ordered the doctors to withdraw and return to their respective posts.

After the doctors left, Eunuch An hurried into the dragon tent and performed the formal ceremony. He was relieved to see that His Majesty had changed his clothes.

Murong Shuo remained silent, just looking at Eunuch An quietly.

Eunuch An carefully reported the situation outside, "Your Majesty, the assassins have been mostly captured; only two have escaped. Your Majesty had made thorough arrangements, ambushing them both inside and outside the forest with guards, making it impossible for them to escape. However, two managed to escape despite their best efforts, but they're already being pursued, so they should be caught soon."

The assassin's affairs were arranged in an orderly manner, and Murong Shuo secretly praised it in his heart. All of this was to prevent the assassin from escaping as easily as before. In the past, their whereabouts were unknown, but now it was different.

"Your Majesty, your hand..." Eunuch An suddenly noticed His Majesty's hand and asked nervously.

Murong Shuo glanced at him, then looked down at his hand and said impatiently, "What are you looking at? It's just a minor injury!"

"But His Majesty is injured..." Eunuch An asked nervously, waving his whisk. He wanted to go forward to check, but was stopped by Murong Shuo's eyes.

"Stop talking so much! Let's talk about something else!" Murong Shuo said in a calm voice.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch An hesitated to speak. He did not expect that His Majesty would hide his injury.

"It's better for me to catch all the assassins!" Murong Shuo said in a deep voice, his tone revealing unquestionable majesty.

"Yes! I will do my best!" Eunuch An responded quickly. He understood His Majesty's intention; he was being held responsible for this matter. Although he hadn't been the one to arrange the arrest, since His Majesty had left him there and now had given him orders, he naturally had no choice but to fulfill his duty.

"Only one escaped, and he wasn't seriously injured," Eunuch An added. He thought to himself that the other assassin was more seriously injured.

"Since he's so badly injured, where else can he go?" Murong Shuo said nonchalantly. He didn't want to dwell on this issue any further.

Upon hearing this, Eunuch An also felt that what His Majesty said made sense.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch An spoke again, wanting to report other matters.

"Has anyone else returned?" Murong Shuo interrupted him and asked. He remembered that the person he had sent out to gather information had already left.

"Who?" Eunuch An was about to ask who His Majesty was referring to, but he saw someone hurriedly walking into the dragon tent.

Murong Shuo recognized the person at a glance. Eunuch An also saw the guard coming in and secretly speculated about the guard's intentions.

After the guard finished his salute, Murong Shuo did not ask any questions immediately.

"Your Majesty, the people in the enclosure have already interrogated it..." the guard reported, "Everyone says that the tiger was caused by human error." The guard's tone was full of respect as he reported in detail everything they had investigated.

Murong Shuo understood the guard's implication.

He pondered in his mind.

Eunuch An also realized His Majesty's true intention: His Majesty was tracking down the person who released the tiger. Had he already sent someone to investigate?

He had also heard about His Majesty's encounter with the tiger, but he had not expected this. Now it seemed that the tiger's appearance was not accidental, but was deliberately caused by someone?

Then, Murong Shuo asked in a deep voice: "Who dares to act like this?"

"Your Majesty, it was someone from the enclosure, but he had unfortunately died when we arrived." The guard replied that it might take some time to continue the investigation.

Moreover, it is not certain that the real mastermind behind the incident can be found.

"Dead?" Eunuch An thought to himself.

Murong Shuo's voice was as cold as ice: "Dead? Then continue to investigate. I want to know what the truth is hidden behind this!"

The guard responded and left.

Murong Shuo remained silent, as if thinking about something.

Eunuch An let out a long breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil.

After the guards left, Eunuch An's gaze lingered on His Majesty for a long time. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and turned to Murong Shuo: "Your Majesty, are you going to continue to track down this person and the forces behind him? What exactly do they want to -"

He deliberately released such a ferocious tiger to charge towards Your Majesty, and secretly sent assassins to kill him.

Are these assassins accomplices, or are they fighting alone?

"No matter what their plan is, I will get to the bottom of it." Murong Shuo's voice was firm and powerful.

He also wanted to know the truth about all this.

Eunuch An responded, then mentioned that nothing unusual had happened to the princes and ministers His Majesty had left behind. He had already considered this, but hadn't had time to report it to His Majesty.

Murong Shuo looked at him sharply, as if waiting for his next words.

"They may be hiding very deeply." Eunuch An said cautiously again.

"Then catch them one by one. No matter who they are, don't even think about escaping!" Murong Shuo's tone was full of unquestionable determination.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch An responded respectfully.

He will also give it his all.

"As for those captured assassins." Murong Shuo just started speaking.

"They have all been taken away for interrogation individually," Eunuch An added anxiously, "Once the interrogation yields results, Your Majesty will know the truth he seeks."

Murong Shuo said in a deep voice: "Hurry!" He wanted to know whether these assassins were related to the prince and who else was involved.

And, can he catch all the masterminds behind this?

"Your Majesty." Eunuch An called out.

However, when he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of someone.

There is one important thing that has not been mentioned.

That woman.

It was the woman who had suddenly appeared when he first arrived. He had wanted to know her identity even then, but the situation was urgent and he had no time to ask. Only after the emperor left did he have time to ask about it.

He asked around, but at first no one knew the woman's identity.

Only later did someone recognize her.

He then learned the true identity of the woman and why she appeared there and was seriously injured. The woman actually rushed to the emperor without hesitation and blocked an arrow for him.

This really caught him off guard.

He also knew that even if the arrow hadn't struck the Emperor, this woman had already made a tremendous sacrifice for him. Her courage and determination in that leap were sufficient proof of her loyalty. Regardless of her motives, her courage was commendable!

Of course, he also wanted to know why she was there. He asked about it, but no one knew. Later, someone said they saw her riding towards him.

He wanted to question the woman himself.

But the woman had already fainted and was unable to speak. Because of her serious injuries, she did not receive timely treatment from the imperial physician and fell into a coma after being taken away.

She said nothing.

The imperial physicians were all gathered here with Your Majesty at that time.

No one dared to say anything. The imperial doctors had probably already gone to treat her.

I don't know if she will wake up.

"Your Majesty, there is another person." Eunuch An suddenly spoke.

"Who? Who else?" Murong Shuo couldn't help feeling displeased when he saw that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had something else to say but was unwilling to leave.

"There was a girl who was quite outstanding in appearance. I heard that she once rushed towards Your Majesty without hesitation and blocked an arrow for Your Majesty. The arrow hit her below the shoulder and penetrated deep into her body." Eunuch An described in detail with a hint of emotion in his tone.

After he said this, Murong Shuo suddenly remembered that there was such a brave woman!

"Then what?" Murong Shuo asked.

Eunuch An did not understand His Majesty's true intentions. Looking at His Majesty's deep and unfathomable expression, he really could not guess what His Majesty was thinking.

He answered cautiously, "She fainted. The imperial physicians were all here at the time and were unable to treat her. Her current condition is unclear."

He wondered how His Majesty would deal with this woman.

"Let the imperial physician go and treat her." Murong Shuo said after pondering for a moment.

Eunuch An nodded in agreement: "Yes, I will arrange it right away."

"Let's see the situation first." Murong Shuo added.

That brave face appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but frowning slightly: "Place her well."
