Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

Bai Huanyi has been willful since childhood and never compromises easily on things she believes in.

If it were in the past, Ye Zhi would probably have compromised.

"Huan'er, please stop making trouble! I really can't leave the house today."

"What's the reason?" Bai Huanyi asked relentlessly.

Ye Zhi was forced to speak: "A very powerful master predicted for me that there would be a bloody disaster today, and I must stay in the mansion to avert it."

"Is he really that clever?"

“She’s really smart.”

That's it!

Bai Huanyi didn't care. She moved slightly and came to Ye Zhi's side. Her small hand gently tugged at his sleeve, "Then we will stay in the mansion and not go out."

"Your Highness, what should we do?"

As soon as Ye Zhi asked this question, he felt a chill on his back.

This person has a lot of bad tastes.

You can't win a game of chess with her.

If you win, she will cry and make a fuss for half a day.

If you lose, she will think that you are giving in to her and that you look down on her, and she will start to mutter in dissatisfaction.

Ever since Ye Zhi was old enough to understand, this person has been chattering in his ear endlessly, which is even more unbearable than her mother's forceful orders to him to do things.

Among the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is only slightly good at chess, but not at other things.

Especially her piano skills. Once, she boasted that she had mastered the piano and wanted to play a song for him.

When the piano music started, it almost cost him half his life.

After so many years of getting along, he found that the only way to avoid exhausting her was to take her out to play.

All you need to do is bring enough money and go shopping with me.

He really wanted to take her out, but when he thought of Miss Su's warning, he became worried.

Faced with a dilemma, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's drink tea and play chess in the mansion."

Upon hearing this, Bai Huanyi was overjoyed.

The two set up a chessboard in the yard, brewed some tea, and started playing chess.

Half an incense stick of time had passed, and the game of chess had not yet come to an end. It was not because his chess skills were too bad and the opponent's chess skills were superb, but because she kept regretting her moves.

Taking back a move is the biggest taboo in chess.

Ye Zhi could no longer tolerate these repeated actions.

He was in a slightly annoyed mood, but when he recalled playing chess with the second daughter of the Su family, he was in a good mood.

He could clearly feel that Miss Su Er's chess skills were probably better than his.

However, Miss Su Er was a person who knew when to advance and when to retreat. She always carefully catered to him and obeyed him.

When it is not obvious or deliberate, it makes people accept it and feel more at ease.

On the other hand, Bai Huanyi cared more about her own feelings and didn't notice that his anger was gradually rising.

"Forget it, I won't play chess anymore."

When Bai Huanyi regretted his move again, Ye Zhi threw the chess piece onto the board and said with an unpleasant expression, "Let's all take a break."

"Your Highness..."

Bai Huanyi was in high spirits and wanted to continue, so she said coquettishly, "We haven't even decided the winner of our game yet, why are you stopping?"

Win or lose?

The victory or defeat will eventually depend on her as she regrets her moves one by one.

Isn't this obvious?

What else is there to continue?

Ye Zhi stood up and was about to go back to his room to write and paint when a servant came running in and reported: "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine has sent a message asking you to come to the palace as soon as possible."

Why is my mother looking for him now?

"Did you say anything?" he asked.

The servant nodded and said, "The eunuch who delivered the message seemed very anxious and specifically said that the Imperial Concubine said that you must not delay and must enter the palace as soon as possible."

What should we do?

Bai Huanyi came, and he didn't want to go out because of the master's divination, and Bai Huanyi agreed.

But where is my mother?

He didn't dare to make such an excuse.

After thinking it over, he said with embarrassment: "Let him wait for a moment. Your Highness will change his clothes and then set off."

"Your Highness," Song Shuang said, trying to stop him: "Are you really going out?"

He really didn't want to leave.

However, there is no way.

He could not disobey his mother's orders.

Seeing this, Bai Huanyi laughed and said, "Your Highness, could it be that you don't want to accompany me shopping, so you said you can't leave the house?"

Ye Zhi: “…”

His head really hurt.

This woman is really annoying.

"My mother summoned me to the palace urgently. It must be something important to discuss. Even if there is a bloody disaster, I will not be afraid and will go."

He flicked his sleeves and said, "Go back home first, we'll get together later."

After he finished speaking, he turned and went back into the house.

Bai Huanyi was dissatisfied and thought about it again and again.

Ye Zhi is her future husband, and she absolutely cannot let him be in danger.

She hurried out of the door, called the servant, and whispered a few words to him.

When Ye Zhi changed her clothes and walked out of the mansion, the guards on the street were so numerous that they surrounded the gate of Prince Jin's mansion.

From the side, a girl in pink came bounding over, offering a treasure: "Your Highness, I have summoned the guards from the Bai Mansion. Together with the guards from Prince Jin's Mansion, they will be able to escort you safely into the palace."

Ye Zhi felt very depressed when he saw this situation.

He glanced at Song Shuang beside him and saw that he had put on the arm guards on both arms, which made him feel funny.

It seems that Song Shuang, who has always been stubborn, also believes what she said.

On normal days, Ye Zhi had never done such a big thing. This time, just to be on the safe side, he was unwilling to take the risk.

"Okay, let's go."

Ye Zhi walked forward and just as he stepped down the stairs, a tile above his head fell down for some reason and landed a few inches in front of his feet with a "thump".

He was startled, and when he looked up, a long sword came towards him at lightning speed...

No, the sword tip turned straight and stabbed straight into Bai Huanyi's heart.

"careful!"

Without a moment's thought, Ye Zhi shouted, reached out to grab Bai Huanyi's wrist, and pulled her into his arms.

The tip of the sword missed Bai Huanyi's chest, penetrated his right shoulder, and then was pulled out violently.

At the same time, Song Shuang came over with a sword.

"what……"

Ye Zhi didn't have time to cry out in pain, as Bai Huanyi's hysterical screams could be heard in her ears: "Blood, come quickly, save His Highness!"

"Your Highness, how are you?"

Ye Zhi's legs felt so weak from the pain that he almost couldn't stand.

He wanted to cover the wound, but the wound was on the back of the shoulder armor and could not be covered at all.

He looked up and saw Song Shuang and many guards already fighting with the man.

The man was wearing ragged gray clothes and had blue-gray hair that seemed to have not been washed for years. The hair was stuck to his scalp and looked very funny.

The more Ye Zhi looked at this person, the more frightened he became.

His swordsmanship was very advanced, and he only managed to gain a slight advantage after more than twenty guards from Prince Jin's and Bai's mansions besieged him.

If he had launched a sneak attack, he would have died today.

But why would an assassin draw his sword and kill someone in broad daylight and in public?

It's really puzzling.

This murder plan is not comprehensive.

Besides, the person he wanted to kill just now was Bai Huanyi, not him.

While Ye Zhi was lost in thought, the man stabbed Song Shuang with the sword in his hand.
