For a long time, she didn't make a move.

At the moment when she wanted to kill Feng Yunsu, the faces of Chunyu and the others appeared in her mind. A group of people flashed through her mind, making her give up the idea.

She calmed down and said, "There are always some people in this world who are not afraid of death or offending anyone."

The censors of Beiming were born into clean families, almost all of them from humble backgrounds. They feared neither power nor life or death. They believed only in the truth.

Unfortunately, Feng Yunsu was incompetent and valued military power over literature. For those censors who wanted to risk their lives to meet the emperor, they did not have a good start.

"It's been a while since the people from the Inspectorate have been able to discipline anyone with advice, right?"

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes moving, "I think they would also be willing to help the emperor, right?"

"You're good at picking people."

Feng Yunsu also started to plan in his mind, "Indeed, they are suitable."

His icy voice was like a cold pond in winter, so cold that it made people's hair stand on end.

I don't know if the "suitable" he mentioned means suitable to do this thing or suitable to be the one who is going to die.

In addition to tending to household chores, Wen Qingzhi had also been keeping an eye on the political situation. Beiming was currently a three-way conflict: the aristocratic lineage and the Yuan family, though military leaders, who had also sided with the aristocratic families, acting as their puppets.

The remaining ones are naturally the two brothers, Regent Feng Yunxiao and Emperor Feng Yunsu. On the surface, the relationship between the two is delicate, and no one knows whether the two brothers are really at odds.

What if they are not in harmony?

Recently, Feng Yunxiao has always put Feng Yunsu first in everything.

They are said to be harmonious? But they are each in their own faction.

Perhaps, it is also confusing.

There was complete silence all around, so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard clearly.

Feng Yunsu stared at Wen Qingzhi, looking at her delicate and slightly childish face, and found panic in her eyes. After seeing her avoiding his gaze, he laughed wantonly.

So what if there is help from an immortal?

After all, she is just a little girl. No matter how mature she behaves, it cannot change her heart.

Wen Qingzhi pretended to be flustered and said, "If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

She came to see Feng Yunsu today just to make things clear with him and not to take sides. She would do her best to give him enough of a way out, and he could just leave.

If he doesn't step down, the censors will force him to do so.

In the past, he could suppress it with his imperial majesty, but what about this matter?

Absolutely impossible!

Just because of the Wen family's achievements, they shed blood and sweat for Bei Ming, and the entire family was wiped out!

If there is a star in this world that can illuminate the darkness in the hearts of Huayou, it is only the Wen family.

Feng Yunsu said nothing and waved at her.

Wen Qingzhi stood up and said goodbye, walked out of the Qinzheng Hall, and smiled as she handed Eunuch Dai a silver note worth fifty taels.

Eunuch Dai has never been short of money, but he values ​​these fifty taels very much.

He sent the master and servant to the palace gate and said with a smile, "Miss Wen, be careful on your way."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Wen Qingzhi got on the carriage, and then the corners of her mouth drooped, showing a frosty look.

It was not peaceful when we came here, which proves that those people failed.

A smart person would know that if they fail, they should not take action again, but she has to find something that is used against the other person!

So...she arranged an assassination.

According to her previous personality, at this time, only death would make it realistic.

But this time, she let the spring rain stop before she reached the agreed location.

She said she wanted to eat Zhang’s peach blossom pastry and asked Chunyu to buy it.

Looking at Chunyu's receding figure, Wen Qingzhi felt relieved.

"Zhang He, let's go."

"Yes."

Zhang He drove his carriage to the most prosperous street in the capital, called Wufu Street.

Wufu Street is dotted with shops, most of which sell gold and silver jewelry, restaurants, and brothels. It's the largest industrial street, and all the good stuff you can think of is concentrated here.

She chose this street because there were many people and eyes, and she wanted to make a big deal out of this matter.

Whether anyone will believe it or not is not important.

People often say that the most dangerous place is the safest. She can completely accuse those people of knowingly and intentionally committing crimes.

"Girl, we're almost there."

Zhang He went outside to inform Wen Qingzhi, and Wen Qingzhi said "hmm" and slowly opened her eyes.

I don’t know whether Zhang Liang received the spring rain.

She lifted the curtain and looked outside, and happened to see the largest restaurant in the capital, Zuixianlou.

The entrance was crowded with many people waiting to enter.

She thought that she would come and try it when she has time to see if the dishes at Zuixianlou are better than those at Mrs. Li’s!

In an instant, Zhang He shouted, "Girl, be careful, there is an assassin!"

Almost at the same time, a sharp sword pierced through the delicate little flower hanging on her carriage. The cold tip of the sword cut Wen Qingzhi's arm, and blood gushed out instantly.

She screamed "Ah" and rolled to the ground from the back of the carriage. Zhang He rushed over to protect her and fought with the criminals.

Wen Qingzhi's blood stained her robe red, and she screamed in fear: "Help! Help—"

Both groups performed very hard, and people on the street ran away shouting wildly.

"Killing, killing—"

They happened to commit a crime in public in the capital, an event that happens only rarely in a century.

Some brave ones hid aside and found a cover to watch the excitement. After seeing the person being stabbed, someone shouted: "Isn't that the girl from the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion?"

"who!?"

A single stone caused a thousand ripples. The crowd that had been fleeing in panic stopped where they were and watched Wen Qingzhi being stabbed and crawling for her life.

"Help, help!"

At this moment, Wen Qingzhi's face was covered in blood, and the left side of his body was soaked in blood, like a bloody man.

Wen Qingzhi.

The legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhenguo.

The Marquis of Zhenguo...

People's memories seemed to be instantly opened. They all remembered that tall figure and how that man had protected them...

"Protect Miss Wen!"

The people arranged by Wen Qingzhi shouted loudly in the crowd, leading everyone to shout and run towards Wen Qingzhi.

The first person who rushed to her side picked up a rolling pin from the wonton stall and started fighting with the killer.

More and more people gathered around and protected Wen Qingzhi.

For them, Marquis Wen protected them, and they had no ability to avenge him, so they could only protect his poor daughter!

People formed a flesh wall, and the killers saw that the effect was achieved, so they retreated before the people from Zhentianfu arrived.

As the killer retreated, people's worries were put at ease. They were also afraid of death!

"Miss Wen, Miss Wen!?"

Someone was calling her, but she pretended not to hear. She swayed a few times and almost fell to the ground.

"I'm fine... Thank you everyone for helping me."

She bit her lower lip, and the blood stained her lips red. She looked aggrieved and frightened, which made everyone feel distressed.

"Marquis Wen protected us, so we must also protect Miss Wen!"

The crowd was dispersed by the yamen runners from Zhentian Prefecture who arrived. When they saw that it was Wen Qingzhi, everyone showed an expression of disbelief on their faces.

Is this Miss Wen a backlash?

She almost died two days ago, and was stabbed to death in the street today... How unlucky is she?

"Officers, you must investigate! Who is so bold as to assassinate the emperor in broad daylight?"

"Fortunately, Miss Wen is fine. If something really happened, what should we do?"

As people spoke, they became indignant and began to demand that they investigate the matter thoroughly.

Her bleeding was not heavy, and she had secretly taken some medication to stop the bleeding. She was pressing on the wound the whole time, and was able to get relief.

"Ma'am, ma'am!"

There were cries and shouts from the crowd. Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a white-haired nanny with a pregnant woman.

The pregnant woman was wearing a crimson-purple long dress with gold thread, paired with a black gauze outer robe, and her head was adorned with a variety of jewelry, especially the white, glowing oriental pearl, which was obviously of great value at first glance.

The pregnant woman leaned in her arms, breathing heavily, her hair on her forehead was instantly soaked, and beads of sweat as big as beans slid down her forehead.

The bottom of her skirt was stained crimson, and it looked like she had seen blood.

"Someone, come and save my wife!"

People gathered around and looked at the pregnant woman, helpless.

They won’t save me!

"What are you still standing there for? Go get a doctor!"

The old nanny scolded the maid beside her. The maid secretly rolled her eyes and said slowly, "I will go right away."

She said she was going, but she was not in a hurry. She walked slowly, not caring about her master's life or death.

"You! Bitch!"

The old lady was so angry that her teeth itched and tears welled up in her eyes. "Madam, you have to hold on!"
