You're the one who wants to marry a mistress, and I'm marrying someone else, yet you still

Actually, Xie Wanru was able to arrive so quickly thanks to the talkative Prince Rui, who came to her rescue in time; she had almost been surrounded.

"Princess Yongchang has a good eye."

The man pulled a bamboo tube from his chest and set off a firework into the sky.

"Let's see today, whether it's you or me who lives."

He didn't want to kill Xie Wanru today, but now he had no choice.

Even if we can't kill Xiao Long today, eliminating Xie Wanru as an obstacle is still a good thing, and it will make our future plans go more smoothly.

"Wanwan, you are so heartless. I risked my life to save you, but you only have eyes for that brat Xiao Long."

Prince Rui grumbled as he fought the enemy.

Xie Wanru didn't have time to think about the meaning of the fireworks he set off before she went to meet the enemy.

"They came for His Highness the Crown Prince."

Shen Cong'an understood, and only then did he realize that Shen Nian'an was nowhere to be seen.

The person has long since disappeared.

"Shen Nian'an, you've gone mad."

Having guessed that Shen Nian'an and Xiao Yan might have conspired together, Shen Cong'an couldn't help but curse inwardly.

According to Xie Wanru's memories from her previous life, Shen Nian'an had not yet colluded with Xiao Yan at this time. In this life, due to other reasons, history was changed, and the relationship between Shen Nian'an and Xiao Yan was also changed.

"Escort the Emperor back to the palace!"

Xiao Long hadn't reacted yet; he didn't think these people were coming for him.

Emperor Qinyong frowned coldly and ordered, "Capture them alive."

He's not stupid to have gotten to where he is today.

He didn't quite understand what these people's motives were, but he had confidence in his guards; it was absolutely impossible for them to assassinate him in Xuancheng.

Since he's not in danger, these guys have no chance of escaping.

The shadow guards emerged from the shadows and rushed towards the person who was fighting Xie Wanru.

Xie Yanting also rushed back at this time. Just then, Xiao Yan's men began to play their part. They raised their swords and slashed at the unsuspecting city guards beside them, causing chaos in the city.

Shen Cong'an never expected that Xiao Yan would go to such lengths.

"Xie Wanru, it's not certain whether you can get away today."

After the man finished speaking, someone entangled Xie Wanru, while he himself broke away and headed towards Xiao Long.

"Protect the Emperor!"

Xiao Long took out a sword and stood tall and straight in front of the Diligent and Brave Emperor.

Emperor Qinyong narrowed his eyes and smiled.

He had been thinking about what had happened today, and now that he saw Xiao Yan in the corner, he understood most of it.

He really is his good son!

Having failed to frame him, they are now joining forces with outsiders to assassinate Long'er. In the eyes of this son, brotherly affection is probably no match for power.

Xiao Long seemed to be in complete control of the man, but in reality, the man was like a shameless cat toying with a mouse.

I don't eat, I just play.

"Why are you bullying my precious son?"

Prince Rui reappeared, leaping forward and delivering a powerful punch that sent the man flying several meters.

The man never expected that Prince Rui would be able to escape, nor did he expect that Prince Rui would be so protective of his own. In his opinion, Prince Rui had always been indifferent to worldly affairs and should not have attended today at all.

"Long'er, be good. In the future, besides the Four Books and Five Classics, you should also learn some kung fu from me."

Prince Rui, with a grin, pulled Xiao Long up from the ground.

"Your Royal Uncle is right."

Xiao Long was not angry but laughed. Since his uncle was taking action, he could just cheer.

"Your Majesty is brave and fearless, just as I aspire to be. But please be careful, Your Majesty, this man is treacherous, and I do not know what tricks he has up his sleeve."

"A sneak attack? What can a rocket do? It's just to call for reinforcements, right? I've already told Xie Yanting to figure it out. Leave this to us. Long'er, be good. Today I'll show you how I teach this traitor a lesson."

Prince Rui gave a sinister smile and launched an attack on the man.

Seeing Prince Rui's fierce attack, the man dared not be careless and quickly used his movement skills to dodge while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

However, Prince Rui had perfectly sealed off all his escape routes, and he had recently been seriously injured. The reason he was able to use his skills now was because he had taken that silver leaf.

It will be troublesome once the effects of the medicine wear off.

"Is that all you've got? How disappointing. I haven't even used my full strength yet," Prince Rui mocked as he attacked.

Enraged, the man suddenly pulled out a hidden weapon from his pocket and threw it at Prince Rui.

Prince Rui reacted quickly, grabbing the hidden weapon in his hand and throwing it forcefully. The weapon returned along the same path and shot straight at the man's heart.

The man was unable to dodge in time and was hit by the hidden weapon. He paused for a moment, and Prince Rui took the opportunity to step forward and knock him to the ground with a punch.

"With such limited abilities, you still want to assassinate Long'er? You're simply courting death."

Prince Rui said coldly.

At this moment, Xie Wanru had also shaken off the enemy's entanglement. Seeing that Prince Rui had dealt with the man, she felt somewhat relieved.

However, she did not let her guard down, because she knew that the real crisis was not yet over.

Sure enough, at that moment, a group of men in black suddenly surged in from all directions, wielding sharp blades and looking menacing.

"This is bad, they might be assassins."

Xie Wanru's expression changed.

Prince Rui also realized the gravity of the situation, and he immediately summoned his guards to prepare for battle.

"Wanwan, you protect Long'er and the Emperor. I'll handle these guys."

Prince Rui said to Xie Wanru.

Xie Wanru nodded. Although she had never fought against Prince Rui before, the fact that Prince Rui was able to subdue the white-robed young man just now was enough to prove that his skills were not weak.

She immediately went to Xiao Long and Emperor Qin Yong's side, watching the surrounding situation warily.

The battle broke out again. This time, the men in black were clearly more ferocious, charging towards Prince Rui and his entourage without regard for their own lives.

Although Prince Rui was brave, he gradually felt overwhelmed by the large number of enemies.

Just then, Xie Yanting arrived with a group of men, who, armed with spears, forced the men in black to retreat.

"Wanwan, are you alright?" Xie Yanting asked with concern when he saw Xie Wanru.

"I'm fine, Third Brother, you all need to be careful. These people are acting strangely; I suspect they've all taken silver leaves," Xie Wanru replied.

It's strange that these people didn't seem to be in pain after being slashed, even though some of their tendons had been severed.

Xie Yanting nodded in understanding, then led his men to continue the fierce battle with the men in black.

However, Xiao Yan did not show himself; he hid in the shadows, coldly watching everything unfold.

Emperor Qinyong had been keeping a close eye on Xiao Yan's condition, a flash of anger crossing his eyes. He knew that his son had completely embarked on a path of no return.

"Father, I have something to report."

Xiao Long knew that if he didn't reveal the truth about the silver leaf now, it would be even more troublesome to explain later.

"Well, you said."

Emperor Qinyong was somewhat agitated because Xiao Yan had disappointed him greatly.
