There were many common people and guests gathered at the entrance of Wanbao Pavilion. Lu Zhan finally squeezed through the crowd to the front and saw Su Yuejian lying on the ground in front of him, with her veil fallen to the side.

Lu Zhan was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

It's over! Something happened the first time he took Yue'er out to play. Grandfather and father will definitely give him a hard time when he gets home!

He was about to rush forward to check it out, but a blue figure rushed over faster than him.

"Child!"

Zhou Min ran quickly towards Su Yuejian.

Lu Zhan followed closely behind.

Su Yuejian was standing up, carefully examining the person in her arms. The little boy was about six or seven years old, very handsome, with a fair and tender little face that was very cute. At this moment, his big round eyes were staring at Su Yuejian without blinking.

Zhou Min squatted down, helped the little boy up, and checked him anxiously, "Zhi'er, how are you? Are you hurt?"

The little boy didn't say anything.

Zhou Min checked carefully and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was not injured.

The servant beside them also ran over and looked at the two of them with a worried look on his face.

At the same time, Lu Zhan anxiously helped Su Yuejian up, "Yue'er, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Su Yuejian stood up and said, "Third brother, I'm fine."

Lu Zhan looked down and noticed that her palm had some red bloodstains, which must have been caused by the scratches when she fell just now. He pulled up her hand and examined it carefully.

He said angrily, "You call it nothing! You fell like this!"

Su Yuejian smiled at Lu Zhan and said, "I'm really fine, it's just a minor scratch. I wouldn't have felt it if Third Brother hadn't told me."

Lu Zhan felt relieved when he saw that she was indeed not injured anywhere except her hands.

Yinxin and Yuzhu then rushed over through the crowd, "Princess!" "Princess!"

The two of them also looked at it carefully with worried expressions.

Lu Zhan looked around and saw Tingfeng and Qingshan taming the horses used by the Duke of Guo and the Marquis of Jingyang, and leading them over.

Lu Zhan asked sharply, "What's going on?"

Listen to the wind and bow your head.

"Sir, please calm down. I don't know what happened, but our horses suddenly went crazy and startled the carriage of the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion. It was Tingfeng's fault for not handling the matter properly that we almost injured the princess and the young marquis."

After hearing Tingfeng mention the young marquis, Lu Zhan looked at the woman and little boy beside him. They were none other than Princess Langning Zhou Min of the Marquis of Jingyang’s Mansion and the young Marquis of Jingyang Zhou Wangzhi.

He bowed and apologized.

"Lu greets Princess Langning and the young marquis. Today's incident was a mistake made by our mansion. I have offended Princess Langning and the young marquis. I hope you will forgive me."

The servant came forward and whispered something to Zhou Min.

Zhou Min was startled when he saw the gorgeous purple-dressed woman in front of him. He then took Zhou Wangzhi's hand, stood up, and nodded.

"Lord Lu, don't blame yourself. The servants just told me that I also want to thank Princess Minghua for protecting my younger brother in times of danger."

Su Yuejian smiled slightly and bowed, "Princess Langning, you are too kind."

Zhou Wangzhi pulled his little hand out of Zhou Min's hand, ran to Su Yuejian, and hugged Su Yuejian.

Several people were immediately startled by his action.

Zhou Min was a little embarrassed and anxiously winked at Zhou Wangzhi, "Zhi'er, don't be rude." As he said that, he was about to step forward and pull him away.

But Zhou Wangzhi held Su Yuejian tightly and refused to let go.

Su Yuejian squatted down and looked at him, smiling slightly, "Your name is Zhier?"

The little boy didn't answer, but looked at her with a bright smile, took out a piece of crispy candy from his arms and put it in Su Yuejian's hand. Su Yuejian's heart melted by his cute appearance.

He laughed and said, "Thank you, son."

Zhou Wangzhi smiled sweetly and put his arms around Su Yuejian's neck again.

Zhou Min was completely defeated by his appearance and said a little embarrassedly, "Zhi'er is young, I hope you two don't mind."

Su Yuejian smiled gently, "The young marquis is very cute."

Zhou Min squatted down and tried to pull Zhou Wangzhi away, but the more she pulled, the tighter Zhou Wangzhi hugged her.

Lu Zhan saw that Zhou Wangzhi was sticking to Su Yuejian and was afraid that they would not be able to separate for a while, and there were so many people watching around.

Lu Zhan thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that Yue'er and I are going to Zuixianlou for dinner. If it's convenient for the princess and the young marquis, why don't you go with us?"

Zhou Min glanced at the crowd of people around him and nodded.

She turned behind Su Yuejian and made a few gestures to Zhou Wangzhi, and then Zhou Wangzhi let go of Su Yuejian.

Su Yuejian didn't see Zhou Min's actions.

Zhou Min took Zhou Wangzhi's hand and said, "Then let's go ahead."

After saying that, he took Zhou Wangzhi into the carriage.

Lu Zhan and Su Yuejian also returned to the carriage.

The onlookers and guests gradually dispersed. Fang Xiaoxuan, who was in the dark, saw that Su Yuejian was safe and sound, and her eyes almost popped out.

"She is Princess Minghua?"

The maid nodded.

Fang Xiaoxuan didn't expect that Lu Zhan was accompanied by Princess Minghua, who had recently become famous in Kyoto!

Seeing Su Yuejian's bright and beautiful appearance just now made her even more jealous, and she stared at the departing carriage with poisonous eyes.

In the carriage, Su Yuejian and Lu Zhan talked about what had just happened.

After she came out, she was about to get on the carriage, but when she saw the lively acrobatic performance on the roadside, she stopped to watch for a while.

Later, they saw people selling hawthorn candy balls and sugar-roasted chestnuts, so they asked Yinxin and Yuzhu to buy some.

Who would have thought that the horse driving the car at the door suddenly went crazy. She saw the horse rushing straight towards the little boy.

Su Yuejian rushed over to protect him without thinking too much.

Fortunately, Qingshan appeared in time and tamed the carriage of Marquis Jingyang's Mansion, otherwise, if Tingfeng was alone, no one could say what would have happened.

Lu Zhan was shocked after hearing this, but fortunately Su Yuejian and the young marquis were fine.

Su Yuejian was puzzled. "Third brother, it's strange. When the carriage rushed towards the young marquis just now, the young marquis didn't notice it at all and didn't even turn around."

Lu Zhan explained,

"The young marquis of Jingyang Marquisate has a hidden deaf-mute condition."

"I heard that he had a serious illness when he was young, with a high fever that wouldn't go away for days. The illness damaged his ears, and he lost his hearing. Later, he gradually became unable to speak."

Su Yuejian suddenly understood. No wonder the little boy had been silent and didn't even cry.

Lu Zhan continued to explain to her the situation of Jingyang Marquis Mansion.

"Marquis Jingyang and Princess Yongchao are very much in love. They have a pair of children. Their daughter, Princess Langning Zhou Min, is a talented woman who serves as a lieutenant in the city defense camp. Their youngest son, Zhou Wangzhi, is still young, but the Marquis Jingyang has no concubines, and since he was born in old age, the family dotes on him. They designated him as the young marquis very early on. Zhou Wangzhi's hidden illness has always been a concern for the Marquis Jingyang and his wife. They rarely see the young marquis out, so today is a coincidence."

Su Yuejian listened quietly. She didn't expect that such a cute child would have such a hidden disease. She couldn't help but feel a little distressed for him.

Su Yuejian said in a deep voice, "Fortunately, nothing happened today, otherwise the Marquis of Jingyang would not give up so easily."

Lu Zhan nodded slightly, feeling doubtful.

The horses in the Duke's Mansion are all carefully trained, how could they go crazy?

If Yue'er hadn't suddenly decided to go watch the acrobatics and not get on the carriage, it wouldn't just be the young Marquis of Jingyang who would be in trouble today!

Su Yuejian also frowned and pondered.

What happened today didn't seem like a coincidence. She was wondering if it was Xiao Chengchang who was behind it.

But this plan was too crude, and it didn't seem like his method, which made him even more confused.

Wanbao Pavilion Top Floor

Xiao Heng looked out the window at the direction where Su Yuejian was going away with a deep gaze.

Xuan Yu came in to report.

"Your Highness, we've found out. It was the maidservant of Fang Xiaoxuan, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, who tampered with the carriage."

Xiao Heng glanced coldly.

Xuan Yu continued, "I heard that Miss Fang has long admired the Third Young Master of the Lu Family. Her actions today might have made her regard the Princess... no, the Princess as her love rival."

Xiao Heng's expression was indifferent, but his words were full of chill.

"If she likes to tamper with horses, then let her do it."

Xuan Yu accepted the order and said, "Yes."
