Song Shuang's sword was stabbing at his heart.

If it were someone else, they would definitely withdraw their sword in order to save their life.

But he didn't retreat.

His sword stabbed at Song Shuang's right arm, piercing his robe, but the brutal force was stopped by the arm guard.

Song Shuang's sword hit the man's heart.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, staring intently at Bai Huanyi, and hesitantly said, "Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go."

The neck twisted and the person died.

"Come here, hand this body over to the Dali Temple and investigate thoroughly why someone would come to assassinate His Highness?"

Ye Zhi ordered with great pain.

Bai Huanyi, who was standing by, was terrified and cried, "Your Highness, please hurry up and return home so we can bandage the wound."

The peaceful Prince Jin's Mansion suddenly became noisy.

The court doctor rushed over, treated his wounds, prepared some medicine, and told him to rest well.

How could he rest well?

His mother was in the palace and didn't know what had happened, so she hurriedly sent someone to summon him into the palace.

Ye Zhi stood up and continued to go into the palace.

Bai Huanyi stopped him, "Your Highness, you are injured. The bumpy road might rupture the wound. What should we do?"

She knew that if Prince Jin had not come to her rescue today, the sword would have fallen on her.

"Your Highness, please wait in the mansion. I will go to the palace for you. Tell her the truth about what's going on here. If the Imperial Concubine has something important to discuss, you can go later."

"Okay!" Ye Zhi, lying on the couch, said with embarrassment: "Then I'll trouble you to make the trip."

He really didn't want to see his mother in the palace.

He really didn't want to see this person in the mansion.

By bringing the two together, he wouldn't have to see either of them, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving me today."

Bai Huanyi showed a hint of shyness, "I know that His Highness has me in his heart."

"I will inform the Imperial Concubine and my father about this later and ask them to decide whether to let me marry His Highness."

What are you getting married for?

When Ye Zhi heard this, his head started buzzing.

As a man, when the woman around him was in crisis, he came to the rescue completely out of instinct.

It's not because he has feelings for Bai Huanyi that he protects her so much.

This time, he couldn't explain it clearly again.

As soon as Bai Huanyi left, Ye Zhi thought about the life he might face in the future and felt extremely worried.

"Your Highness"

Song Shuang stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "If it weren't for Miss Su's reminder today, I'm afraid this subordinate's arm would have been broken."

"This eldest daughter of the Su family is truly amazing."

"He said that once His Highness leaves the palace, there will be a bloody disaster."

"What a departure!"

The calm and composed woman appeared in Ye Zhi's mind again.

The way she looked at him, she always had an indescribable feeling.

"Tell me, why does fourth brother, who is not interested in women, look at Miss Su differently?" Ye Zhi asked.

Song Shuang said without hesitation: "If Miss Su's divination skills are so powerful and she has the ability to predict good and bad luck, who wouldn't want to have her?"

"No, that's not right!"

Ye Zhi shook her head, "He is special to her."

"Tomorrow, you will prepare five hundred taels of silver and personally deliver it to Miss Su as a token of gratitude."

"Yes!"

……

Bai Huanyi hurried into the palace and told Concubine Bai everything that happened at the gate of Prince Jin's mansion.

Hearing this, Concubine Bai was frightened and lay on the couch. It took her a long time to come back to her senses.

Today, Ye Zhi's misfortune was actually caused by her.

If she hadn't invited him into the palace, he would have listened to the master's advice and stayed in Prince Jin's Mansion, and then what happened today would never have happened.

But when he heard that Prince Jin was stabbed in order to save Bai Huanyi, he felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

Concubine Bai said with a stern face: "Why did that man want to kill you? What did you do?"

Bai Huanyi felt uneasy and pouted, "It's his daughter who doesn't know what's good for her. When we met on the road, she not only contradicted me but also tried to kill me."

"I was just angry at the moment, so I ordered the servants to teach her a lesson."

"Who knew those servants wouldn't take the severity of the situation lightly, and that man died."

"This man is her father. He spends all day thinking about how to avenge his daughter."

"I clearly sent someone to arrest him and lock him up."

"I don't know how he escaped. He happened to run into me at Prince Jin's mansion today, so he came to kill me without caring about anything."

"Aunt, it's my fault."

"But that lowly person was really unreasonable. He actually dared to assassinate me in the street in public."

"It was His Highness who saved me."

"Aunt, I always thought that His Highness was avoiding me and didn't want to see me because he didn't like me."

"After this incident, I understand."

"Your Highness still likes me."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have sacrificed himself to save us in this critical moment."

"From now on, I will definitely treat Your Highness even better."

"Aunt, I must marry His Highness."

Concubine Bai was unwilling to let her son marry her niece who was a bit stupid as her principal wife.

Unfortunately, her father, her biological brother, was the prime minister of the Daqian Kingdom.

If the relationship becomes closer, with his help, perhaps Ye Zhi will be one step closer to that position.

"it is good!"

Concubine Bai reluctantly agreed.

But I feel very uncomfortable in my heart.

After sending Bai Huanyi away, Concubine Bai thought about it and felt something was wrong. She ordered people to prepare all kinds of the best wound medicines and blood-replenishing and nourishing herbs, summoned the imperial physician, and asked him to go to Prince Jin's mansion.

She wants to know how serious Ye Zhi’s injury is!

After dealing with Ye Zhi's matter, he thought of the attacker in the street.

Lord Cao, the Minister of the Dali Temple, is upright and incorruptible.

If he were to investigate the man's motive for the crime, it would probably not be as simple as Bai Huanyi said.

Her niece has been spoiled since she was a child. If she investigates further, it may be harmful to her.

Prince Jin's principal wife cannot have even the slightest stain on her.

Ye Zhi has ascended to the supreme position, and Bai Huanyi will be the undisputed queen.

If someone were to find out some indelible stigma on them when they wait for the day of enthronement, all the efforts of the Bai Mansion over the years would be in vain.

She would never allow such a thing to happen.

Just after noon, the body that was supposed to be in the Dali Temple charity cemetery disappeared quietly.

The case file handed to Lord Cao was inexplicably missing a copy.

Anyone who dares to commit violence in the street in Prince Jin's mansion is indeed very brave.

Perhaps he wanted to attract everyone's attention and wanted to take risks to overturn the verdict.

Pity.

No one cared about his death.

Recently, Lord Cao has been in the dense forest west of the city, capturing the remnants of spies from the Huanyue Kingdom.

Today, they raided one of their hideouts and captured more than a dozen people. Unfortunately, the most important person, Wang Er, escaped like a loach.

"Zhuifeng, let's split up into two groups. I'll lead one group to guard the forest exit, and you lead the others in to capture them."

He discussed with Zhuifeng.

Zhuifeng took a look at the dark and dense forest and remembered what Miss Su said.

"I see that the difficulty the Wind Chaser is guarding is related to going to the toilet and the beast?"

"The only way to escape is for the Wind Chaser Guards to refrain from traveling on official business for the next ten days, especially outdoors."
