Someone shouted "There's an assassin!" and the already noisy crowd suddenly became agitated.

More than a dozen assassins with ordinary appearance and clothing jumped out from the crowd. They would be impossible to find if thrown into the crowd and drew their weapons in the chaos.

The officers and soldiers responsible for receiving the envoys and the guards of Beisheng Kingdom all drew their weapons and were ready for battle.

But the target of those assassins was not Shen Qiuyun, but Su Huanyu in the corner of the crowd.

Everyone was shocked. After all, no one expected that an assassin would assassinate the prince of the Southern Su Kingdom on the day when the envoy of the Northern Sheng Kingdom entered the city. Even Su Huanyu himself did not expect this.

Ever since his disguise was exposed, Su Huanyu has been busy dealing with the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.

Although the two men did not dare to do anything excessive because he was in charge of the Royal Guards, they still caused him a lot of trouble.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Jiang Zihan took the initiative to ask him out to relax. It happened that the envoy from Beisheng Kingdom arrived today, so the two of them agreed to go to the city gate to take a look, but they didn't expect to encounter an assassin.

No matter whether the person behind this is the Crown Prince or the Third Prince, they all have idiot brains to choose to take action at this critical juncture!

Su Huanyu cursed in his heart while taking Jiang Zihan to avoid the assassin's attack, and also called out the guards hiding beside him.

Little did they know that the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were also equally confused at this time.

As the two most promising people in the fight for the throne, they naturally would not be absent today, and they also knew that today was not a good day to take any action.

So the people who arranged this assassination were Jiang Wansang and Pei Zhanzhou.

Emperor Beisheng sent the third princess Shen Qiuyun as the envoy with the intention of marriage.

Although Shen Qiuyun has a bad reputation, she is a princess of a country and the legitimate daughter of the queen. Her brother is firmly seated on the throne of the Crown Prince of Beisheng. If he can marry her, he will get the support of Beisheng Kingdom.

It was for this reason that the Queen wanted to use the opportunity of her birthday to bring this helper to the Prince's side.

Unfortunately, the prince is only a supporting role in this world. Shen Qiuyun’s powerful help is naturally the author’s preference for Su Huanyu, the son of destiny.

In the book, Pei Zhanzhou also arranged an assassination today, but the target of the assassination was Shen Qiuyun.

Now the Third Prince's faction is weaker than the Crown Prince's faction. If the Crown Prince marries Shen Qiuyun, the fight for the throne will be a foregone conclusion. Therefore, the Crown Prince must not marry Shen Qiuyun.

According to Pei Zhanzhou's plan, the assassin wanted to kill Shen Qiuyun, but she was rescued by the third prince who was at the scene. After that, rumors began to spread in the imperial city that the third prince and Princess Beisheng fell in love at first sight.

As long as he makes a slight move, Shen Qiuyun and the prince will never be together.

But he calculated everything, but he didn't take into account Su Huanyu's aura as the male lead.

In the assassination in the book, it was not the third prince but Su Huanyu who heroically saved Princess Beisheng.

Everyone knows that the Third Princess of Beisheng is fond of men, and as the son of destiny, Su Huanyu is naturally the most outstanding in appearance among many princes, so he is the one that the Third Princess of Beisheng falls in love with at first sight.

In the book, Su Huanyu had not yet revealed his true identity at this time, so everyone thought that it was the prince who got the help of Princess Beisheng. The court was bustling for a long time because of this, and Su Huanyu also took this opportunity to expand his network in the court.

Since Jiang Wansang knew the subsequent developments, he would certainly not allow such benefits to fall on him, so he persuaded Pei Zhanzhou to slightly change the plan.

Su Huanyu is the son of destiny, and such an assassination will not take his life at all, but Jiang Wansang did not want his life.

After today's assassination, someone must be secretly investigating who is the mastermind behind it. As long as a little information is released, everyone will know that this was Su Huanyu's "self-directed and self-acted".

Given the suspicion of the royal family, they would naturally speculate whether Su Huanyu did this to frame the crown prince and the third prince, or to gain the favor of Princess Beisheng?

Whatever the reason, it's not what they want to see.

By then, Su Huanyu will have to face more than just the crown prince and the third prince.

After arriving here, Jiang Wansang felt happier, and even felt more comfortable watching Su Huanyu, who was desperately trying to escape from the assassin's pursuit.

Perhaps because she was too engrossed in watching the fun, Jiang Wansang didn't notice that a pair of eyes were watching her.

Shen Qiuyun was still holding the veil with one hand, and she did not show any fear or panic when facing the appearance of the assassin. She even leaned to the side and watched the show leisurely.

As she watched, her eyes fell on the woman sitting by the window in the teahouse not far away, who also had an expression as if she was watching a show.

She was a very beautiful woman, who seemed to be of the same type as her, both with enchanting and charming looks, but the difference was that there was a strong murderous aura between the woman's eyebrows.

That is something that only those who have crawled out of a pile of corpses will have in their bones.

This is interesting. Judging from her attire, she is clearly a noble lady from the Nansu Imperial City. How could she have had such an experience?

Amidst the noisy assassination scene, Shen Qiuyun leaned on the float, thinking about the questions in her heart, and her eyes moved slightly to the side.

In just a moment, she suddenly sat up straight, looking straight at the man who was leaning comfortably against the window, occasionally throwing a peanut into his mouth.

What a handsome man, he is even more handsome than all the male favorites in her house!

But why do I feel an indescribable sense of familiarity?

Perhaps her gaze was too intense, or perhaps the other party was too alert and sensitive, the handsome man suddenly looked at her.

When their eyes met, the man who had been comfortable and relaxed seemed to instantly erect a cold wall, blocking out everything in the world.

Pei Zhanzhou exuded a cold aura that kept strangers away, and he looked no different from the cold-blooded and sullen Pei Guoshi in his daily life.

But if you look closely, you can see the hostility and disgust hidden deep in his eyes.

He put down the peanuts in his hand, and under the other person's gaze, he closed the half window in front of him with an expressionless face.

Jiang Wansang turned around when he heard the noise beside him, and the peanuts in his mouth were crunching.

She asked puzzledly, "Such a wonderful play, why don't you watch it?"

In the book, Shen Qiuyun fell in love with Su Huanyu not only because of his heroic act of saving the beauty, but also because of his face.

So when Pei Zhanzhou arranged these "assassins", she specifically told them that they didn't have to kill Su Huanyu, but they had to make him look miserable and destroy his face, and every move was aimed at his face.

So although Su Huanyu had no injuries at this time, he was covered in dust and his hair was half loose, and he did not look like a child of destiny at all.

It’s a pity that there is no camera, otherwise Jiang Wansang would like to take a picture of him and make fun of him every day.

Pei Zhanzhou hid his emotions well, "It's getting late, and my master has to go back and prepare for the evening banquet."

The Queen’s birthday banquet was in three days, but the envoys from the Beisheng Kingdom were coming, led by a royal princess, so the Nansu Kingdom naturally had to prepare a welcoming banquet.

As the national teacher of Nansu, Pei Zhanzhou certainly cannot be absent at such a time.

Jiang Wansang is nominally the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family, so she should also attend this banquet.

But everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion was targeting her. When she left, not only did they not send anyone to listen to Sang Ge's message, they also drove away all the carriages.
