Xie Yao couldn't figure it out, nor could she guess.

After all, he was the emperor, and not many people knew about his fainting. Since Xiao Ji didn't call her, she didn't go into the palace and just stayed at Zhao's house to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After dinner, everyone placed fruits, moon cakes and other things in the yard and watched the moon together.

Until this time, Xiao Ji had not returned.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Yao refused the Zhao family's invitation and chose to return to the Prince's Mansion.

It was late at night, but fortunately the moon was shining brightly and lights were still on in every household.

Xie Yao was helped by Zhu Qing into the carriage.

As soon as she got on the carriage, Xie Yao leaned against the soft wall and prepared to take a nap. After she became pregnant, she became more sleepy, which was normal.

But she had just rested for a while when she suddenly woke up!

"Enemy attack!"

The guards from the Prince's Mansion outside the carriage quickly spoke.

Xie Yao lifted the curtain and looked, only to see men in black emerging from the roofs on both sides, arrows in their hands flashing with a sharp cold light, rushing straight towards the carriage.

The guards' first reaction was naturally to protect the carriage.

But they were already at a disadvantage and it was obviously difficult for them to fight back.

at this time.

Xie Yao only felt a sudden jolt, and her carriage lost control instantly, with the horses and the carriage running straight forward.

"call out!"

An arrow shot from the front and hit the driver's left chest. The driver was thrown off by the shaking and mad horse.

Horses galloped through the streets late at night.

Zhu Xin and Zhu Qing almost immediately supported Xie Yao, fearing that she would hurt the Crown Princess.

Fortunately, the carriage had been modified and was covered with soft brocade. Even though it was bumpy at this moment, it would not cause any damage.

Lin Xia quickly opened the car door and wanted to control the horse.

But another arrow shot towards Lin Xia.

Lin Xia had no choice but to dodge. Arrows shot like streams of light, one after another, with excellent accuracy.

Lin Xia had to distract himself and sweep away the arrows, and the horse galloped faster.

"Cut the rope!" Xie Yao's voice rang out in the carriage.

Although the carriage was connected to the horses with a wooden frame, it was also fixed with ropes. This was the rope Xie Yao was talking about.

Lin Xia immediately said, "Yes!"

Cutting the ropes was much easier than controlling a mad horse, but the carriage would inevitably be shaken...

She was more worried about the Crown Princess.

There were many arrows, but Lin Xia acted decisively and cut the rope resolutely even though he was hit by an arrow.

The crazy horses ran away, and the carriage that was being pulled forward rapidly slid forward on the ground due to inertia for a while, and then suddenly stopped.

Lin Xia was thrown out directly.

Zhu Xin and Zhu Qing protected Xie Yao from the front and the back. Xie Yao held on to the window of the carriage tightly with both hands, so she was not thrown out.

But after stopping, several people still felt dizzy.

call out--

Another arrow came.

The arrow was stuck between Xie Yao's fingers...

"Princess!"

Zhu Qing shouted, his voice full of worry.

"It's okay." Xie Yao whispered to comfort him and withdrew her hand. The middle finger and ring finger of her left hand were scratched by the arrow.

However, Xie Yao’s training was not in vain. The injury was not serious, but the skin was broken and bleeding.

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and soon the sound of horse hooves was heard.

Xiao Ji was riding his horse in the front. He dismounted before the horse stopped and quickly opened the car door.

The carriage was dark.

But he saw Xie Yao at a glance.

She was protected by Zhu Qing and Zhu Xin, sitting in the carriage in a somewhat embarrassed state. Her face was pale, and her bright eyes were full of grievance. "Your Highness."

Xiao Ji let out a long sigh, and his heart suddenly fell back.

Yaoyao is fine!

Xiao Ji stepped forward quickly, carrying Xie Yao out of the carriage. His scarlet eyes were filled with fear of surviving a disaster.

"I am late."

He used force with his fingers, almost wanting to hold the person in his arms, but he rationally and restrained himself to avoid hurting Xie Yao.

Xie Yao's face turned pale and she shook her head slightly, "These people had planned this long ago."

Naturally, there were people protecting her, but today those people were all led away.

It can be seen that the person behind the scenes has planned it carefully.

Xiao Ji had smelled the scent of blood a long time ago, but only now discovered that the injury was on Xie Yao's hand. He was immediately furious, and the murderous intent in his eyes could not be concealed!

His eyes fell accurately on the arrow on the wall of the car. He frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Dare to hurt his Crown Princess... Very good!

Xie Yao gently pulled Xiao Ji's sleeve with her intact right hand and said softly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. It won't hurt."

If there weren't tears in her eyes and her voice wasn't so aggrieved, Xiao Ji would have really believed it.

Xie Yao was so considerate that Xiao Ji became even angrier and wanted to tear the person behind the scenes into pieces!

As soon as Zhuxin and Zhuqing got off the carriage, they started vomiting.

The ride was so bumpy just now that they almost fainted. If they hadn't remembered to protect the Crown Princess, they would have vomited long ago.

Just then, Pei Chen and the guards from the Prince's Mansion finally arrived.

"Your Highness."

Pei Chen led his men forward hurriedly.

Xiao Ji was filled with murderous intent, "Investigate!"

Xiao Ji wrapped Xie Yao tightly in his cloak. He brought Xie Yao back to the Prince's Mansion and quickly summoned the palace doctor.

"The Crown Princess was just a little frightened. The fetus is stable and there is nothing serious." The court doctor was a little shocked.

The carriage was shaking so much that the internal organs were almost displaced, but the fetus was still very stable.

The Crown Princess is a pregnant woman, but her condition is better than those two maids!

As for the wound on the finger, just apply medicine.

The court doctor left some medicine for the wound and left the main house. Xie Yao was pressed on the bed by Xiao Ji, and he knelt on one knee beside the bed.

He applied medicine to Xie Yao with gentle movements and a pious attitude.

Xie Yao lowered her eyes and saw only Xiao Ji's serious and focused look. He pursed his thin lips, still showing anger.

Xie Yao's heart trembled uncontrollably, and she raised her hand to cover her left breast.

"Yaoyao?"

Xiao Ji raised his eyes and asked, "Feeling unwell?"

Xie Yao put down her hand, her voice slightly hoarse, "No."

"These people are coming for me and the child." Xie Yao suspected more that they were coming for the child than for herself.

Because there were only a few arrows shot at the carriage, the person behind the scenes didn't seem to want her life very much.

The bumps in the carriage were more damaging to her. If it happened to any other ordinary pregnant woman...

Even if the miscarriage doesn't happen on the spot, I'm afraid there will be big problems.

The reason she chose to act so roughly was probably because she seldom went out and the Prince's Mansion was heavily guarded.

Whether it is food or clothing, it is too difficult to do anything.

That's why I took the risk.

even……

Xie Yao thought about the emperor fainting today. What happened today... was it with someone's tacit approval?

This thought flashed through my mind...

Xiao Ji said: "It's my fault that I didn't protect you well."

"Yaoyao, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." Xiao Ji held Xie Yao's hand and promised.

Xie Yao withdrew her thoughts, looked at Xiao Ji with great trust, and said softly, "I believe in you, Your Highness."

At this moment, Si Nan's voice came from outside, "Your Highness, the Marquis is here."
