Huang Jiuyuan complained with a look of having just survived a disaster, "If I had known it would be so dangerous to come out with you today, I wouldn't have come."

He was back to his unruly self again.

He looked around Helan Xuenuo worriedly, his eyes lingering on the wound on her neck. "Are you still injured? Come back to the capital with me quickly. I'll find a doctor to check you out."

"It's okay, just a minor injury. It will probably heal after we return to the city."

Little Yuanzhao pulled Helan Xuenuo's clothes and said worriedly, "Sister, let's go back to the capital and find a doctor."

Helan Xuenuo squatted down and pointed at Xiao Yuanzhao's head and said, "Xiao Yuanzhao, next time you encounter something like this, don't try to be a hero."

Little Yuanzhao said aggrievedly, "I know, if that big brother hadn't appeared, I wouldn't have been caught."

Xiao Yuanzhao glanced at Gu Shicheng sideways. Gu Shicheng was watching coldly behind them, as if what they had just experienced was just a trivial matter.

Huang Jiuyuan laughed heartily after hearing this. He turned around and walked towards Gu Shicheng, saying loudly, "Thanks to you, Prince. If it weren't for you, Xue Nuo would have been chopped to death. Fortunately, you are here."

He suddenly realized something was wrong and asked in confusion, "Prince, why are you here?"

Gu Shicheng calmly uttered two words, "Coincidence."

How could there be any coincidence? When Huang Jiuyuan shouted Helan Xuenuo on the street, he happened to hear it.

If it was someone else's name, he might not be able to hear it.

But the name Helan Xuenuo, the princess of his previous life, was something he had hated all his life.

He watched Huang Jiuyuan get on the carriage, and felt an uncontrollable unhappiness in his heart. As he watched the carriage drive away from the city, he wanted to follow it to find out what was going on. He wanted to see what new tricks Helan Xuenuo was playing.

On the way, he met the second prince Gu Yanli.

Gu Yanli stopped him and had a chat with him.

When he looked up again, the carriage had disappeared.

He followed the wheel tracks all the way here, and this is what happened.

Huang Jiuyuan replied with a silly smile, "It's a coincidence. It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. I'm lucky to have you, Your Highness. Otherwise... I might have been hacked to death too."

He looked at Gu Shicheng with admiration.

Helan Xuenuo just found it very annoying.

There was no such thing as coincidence. It was probably Huang Jiuyuan's shouting that attracted the killer and Gu Shicheng.

He hired someone to kill her, and he was so accurate and certain that it must be her in the carriage.

It could only be Huang Jiuyuan shouting in the street that attracted them.

She instantly felt a bit disgusted with Huang Jiuyuan. She avoided Gu Shicheng's gaze and said to Huang Jiuyuan coldly, "Since you are so grateful to Your Highness, why don't you go back to the city with Your Highness and express your gratitude properly? The three of us have important matters to attend to, so we won't stay any longer."

After she finished speaking, she took Xiao Yuanzhao's hand and walked towards the carriage with Xiao Zhu.

Huang Jiuyuan shouted behind her, "What's going on? We were just going through life and death. Wait for me."

Huang Jiuyuan turned around and said to Gu Shicheng with a smile, "Prince, please come back soon. We are leaving. If we have the chance some other day, I will personally treat you to delicious food and drinks and bring some beauties to entertain you."

Gu Shicheng did not return to Huang Jiuyuan. His eyes were fixed on the direction where Helan Xuenuo and the others left, as if he was deep in thought about something.

Huang Jiuyuan also wisely ran after Helan Xuenuo and the others.

Helan Xuenuo pushed the coachman on the ground, and the coachman fainted. She patted him and asked Xiaozhu to take out a water bag from the carriage, splashed it on the coachman's face, and pinched the coachman.

After a while, the driver finally woke up.

Dazed, he stared at the two bodies lying in front of him and not far away. He quickly stood up and said ashamedly, "Miss, I'm sorry, I was also ambushed. Fortunately, you are all okay, otherwise I would be blamed for your death."

Helan Xuenuo said softly, "It's okay. Can we continue on our journey? Do you have the strength to do so?"

"Yes... yes..." The coachman walked back to the carriage, took out the stool, and Helan Xuenuo and the others all got on the carriage.

When Huang Jiuyuan got on the carriage, he looked back at Gu Shicheng, who seemed to be frozen in place.

He wanted to say something, but when he saw Helan Xuenuo's big eyes rolling in the car, he decided not to say anything more.

After everyone got into the carriage and the curtain was lowered, Huang Jiuyuan asked, "Did I see it wrong? When did Prince Ding'an ever offend you?"

"It has nothing to do with you. Just don't mention this person's name in front of me, otherwise we won't be friends anymore."

"so serious?"

Helan Xuenuo ignored him. After the carriage started moving, she lifted the curtain to make sure that Gu Shicheng did not follow.

She regretted it the moment she opened it. Gu Shicheng was staring at her intently, but the distance was too far for her to see the meaning in his eyes.

She let down the curtain in panic.

Then she thought about it again. Gu Shicheng's horse was killed in the explosion. Even if he wanted to follow them, he couldn't keep up without his horse. She calmed down and ordered outside the carriage, "Hurry up."

The coachman received the order and shouted "Gee!" The carriage rushed forward at high speed, with the sound of wheels rolling.

However, Gu Shicheng had lost his horse, so it would be very difficult for him to walk back to the capital. Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing.

Huang Jiuyuan and the others looked at Helan Xuenuo in confusion.

Xiao Zhu asked, "Girl, what's so funny?"

Little Yuanzhao was also very curious, staring at Helan Xuenuo with his eyes shining brightly, "Sister, tell me about it."

Huang Jiuyuan frowned and looked Helan Xuenuo up and down, "Are you... scared silly?"

Helan Xuenuo hit him on the head, causing Huang Jiuyuan to hold his head and scream.

Helan Xuenuo looked at him with a look of disappointment. "I haven't even mentioned you yet. If you hadn't been screaming and yelling in the street, how would they have known it was me in the carriage? I even asked the government to arrange this rarely used carriage today. You only have a pretty face, but no brains."

Huang Jiuyuan thought about it carefully, patted his forehead, and said ashamedly, "Blame me, blame me. I didn't expect you to have an enemy who would buy your life! When I return to the capital, I will ask my father to destroy the assassin's building and avenge you."

"Forget it. Even if we shut it down, there will be other assassination sites. People with money can still hire killers. We still have to stop it at the source."

"How to curb it?"

Helan Xuenuo didn't tell him and leaned against the carriage with her eyes closed to rest.

All she could hear was Huang Jiuyuan yelling at her, "How can we stop this? Do you know who hired someone to kill you?"

Huang Jiuyuan saw that Helan Xuenuo seemed to be asleep, and thinking of what he had just experienced, he didn't ask any more questions. He planned to let Helan Xuenuo have a good rest and recuperate.

He glanced at little Yuanzhao, who had fallen asleep leaning against him, her little face rosy and very cute.

He does look somewhat like his elder brother Yuan Xu.

He squeaked at Xiao Zhu, "Do you know anything? How to stop it? Who hired the killer? Tell me so I can get revenge. I almost died today."

Xiaozhu shook his head in response.
