Jin Xin patted her chest, still feeling a bit frightened. "I was so scared! He suddenly jumped out. Luckily, the guard reacted quickly, otherwise, the princess would have been injured."

"The princess is still pregnant. If she gets hurt in this mansion, I really don't know how I will explain it to the prince and the imperial concubine."

She didn't notice Sheng Nanzhi's unusual silence and clutched her handkerchief tightly. "An assassin has appeared in the mansion. We really need to investigate thoroughly."

"During this period, the mansion has been closed to visitors. Only the servants who go in and out to buy daily necessities will enter and leave the mansion."

"If this thief is not from the mansion, then nine out of ten times he sneaked in when the servants who were doing the shopping were out."

"If this thief is from the mansion, he must have been bribed."

Jin Xin was in charge of all the affairs in the mansion, so when something like this happened, she naturally had to deal with it immediately.

"I will go over and take a look. I will find out the truth as soon as possible and give the princess an explanation."

Sheng Nanzhi responded, watched Jin Xin hurriedly leave, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Go back to the house."

When she returned to the house, she still felt a little uneasy.

What kept coming back to my mind was the bloody stain on Shi Huaizhi's back.

She has lived two lives and witnessed countless people die in front of her, and even killed people with her own hands.

But none of them seemed as shocking as the previous scene.

Sheng Nanzhi closed her eyes. She had actually dodged at that time. Although she could not completely avoid the blade of the dagger, she at least protected her vital parts.

Even if Shi Huaizhi didn't pounce on her, she would have only suffered minor injuries at most.

Shi Huaizhi was a martial arts expert, so he must have noticed.

But he still rushed over.

He was so far away from her at the time, so he must have used up all his strength to rush over, right?

Why?

Sheng Nanzhi was just thinking when there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Sheng Nanzhi raised his eyes.

"Princess, it's my subordinate, Yuanbao."

Sheng Nanzhi hurriedly said, "Come in."

Yuan Bao walked in quickly. Seeing that Sheng Nanzhi was the only one in the room, he opened the door wide. He walked up to Sheng Nanzhi and lowered his voice, "My master was afraid that the princess would worry, so he sent me down to tell her that he is fine now. The doctor removed the dagger, stopped the bleeding, and bandaged him properly."

"It's just a superficial wound. The master told the princess not to worry about him."

Sheng Nanzhi's throat rolled, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "Why should I worry about him? What is there to worry about?"

"I know it's just a superficial wound. Didn't the doctor tell me that at the time?"

But only she herself knew how guilty she felt when she said this.

And when Yuanbao said that Shi Huaizhi was fine, the string suddenly loosened.

Yuanbao believed it to be true. He just frowned, looked up at Sheng Nanzhi, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

The princess is so heartless! He felt a little sorry for his master.

Yuan Bao's eyelashes trembled. "That's good. The master said earlier that it was difficult to talk because there were so many people around. He was afraid that the princess would worry, so he would come tonight and let the princess see his injuries with her own eyes."

"Since the princess isn't worried, I'll go back and tell the master not to come tonight. It's too much trouble to keep coming back and forth."

Sheng Nanzhi suddenly raised her head, she still... wanted to take a look.

But Yuanbao had said so much, and she really couldn't bring herself to take back what she had said and admit that she was worried.

Sheng Nanzhi was secretly struggling in her heart, but Yuanbao left contentedly and went straight to Shi Huaizhi.

"Your Majesty!"

Yuanbao walked in excitedly, with smiling eyes and a very happy look.

Shi Huaizhi sat up from the bed: "What's wrong? What good news happened?

Yuan Bao chuckled: "I helped you piss off the princess this time."

"Angry?" Shi Huaizhi narrowed his eyes. How could he be angry with her? Why should he be angry with her?

Yuan Bao has always been a talkative person. When he heard Huai Zhi's question, he immediately took credit and said, "I just went over and told the princess that the injuries on your body are just superficial. Please don't worry."

"Do you know what the princess said? She looked surprised and said she wasn't worried at all. What did she have to worry about?"

"You've made me so angry... Your Highness, you suffered this injury because of her, but she doesn't even worry about you at all. Princess, thank you for your kindness."

"Your Majesty, you treat her so well. I feel so sorry for you."

"So, I told her directly that the prince had originally planned to come over tonight and let her take a look at your injuries. Since she didn't care, then the prince would not go."

Shi Huaizhi's face suddenly darkened: "Is this what you call making her angry for me?"

Is this to make her angry or to make him angry?

"Yes." Yuan Bao said confidently, "I think you are too good to her, Your Highness. She has started to become arrogant because of your favor. Which of the other concubines in the palace dares to treat you so lightly?"

"In my opinion, you shouldn't be nice to her! She'll naturally panic."

Shi Huaizhi took a deep breath and almost gritted his teeth: "You did a really good job."

Yuanbao's eyes lit up and he laughed, "Really?"

"Yes." Shi Huaizhi looked at him steadily: "You have done so well, how can I not reward you? What reward should I give you?"

Shi Huaizhi lowered his eyes and said, "I'll reward you by cleaning all the toilets in the mansion."

Yuanbao's eyes widened suddenly: "Your Majesty!"

Shi Huaizhi didn't want to listen to him and angrily said, "Get out!"

Yuanbao cried as he walked out of the house. He stood beside Chi Xiao at the door and pulled up Chi Xiao's sleeve to wipe away his tears. "What did I do wrong? Why is the prince punishing me?"

Chi Xiao glanced at him and sighed softly, "Is there a possibility that the prince likes the princess?"

"Is there a possibility that the princess is different from the other concubines in the palace?"

"The prince was eagerly trying to use this injury to ask the princess for a reward, but you slapped him back. Do you think the prince is angry?"

"Ah..." Yuanbao's eyes widened: "Xixi... like it?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right? The prince and princess don't spend much time together, how could they fall in love?"

"How did you tell that?"

He stared at Chi Xiao with a simple and stupid look in his eyes.

Chi Xiao sighed, "How big is the secret of the prince's coma? How important is it? He only told the princess in the entire palace. Isn't that obvious enough?"

That’s...true.

Yuanbao's face fell: "It's over, it's over."

No wonder! No wonder last time he told the prince that the princess said she had no one she liked, and that included him. The prince got angry and punished him to count lotus flowers...

It turns out that this is the reason!
