Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

The momentary daze was brief; the assassins quickly recovered.

"Another one looking for death, let's kill them all!"

The horse was stabbed and neighed as it ran away. Chu Yichuan was also forced to dismount and was surrounded by assassins along with Chu Tianche.

"Second brother, what's going on?" Chu Yichuan frowned, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings, trying to figure out how he could possibly leave this place.

Strangely enough, although there were quite a few people in the royal hunting grounds, he noticed that there were very few people here on his way here.

With such a commotion and no one around, the chances of them getting help are slim.

A complex emotion flashed in Chu Tianche's eyes, but his face still showed panic and unease.

"I happened to be hunting in this area when they assassinated me. Brother, you must run! Their target this time is me!"

Chu Yichuan sighed inwardly. In the current situation, it wasn't that he didn't want to run away, but that he simply couldn't escape!

"We'll hold on as long as we can, and we'll find a chance to escape when we get the chance."

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out as the assassins struck with ruthless precision, clearly intent on killing the two men.

Even though Chu Yichuan and Chu Tianche were both skilled, they were simply outnumbered and outmatched. Soon, they were covered in wounds.

Fresh blood dripped onto the ground, and a faint smell of blood spread.

When the four Song brothers saw the eldest prince arrive, they were certain that their judgment was correct; their fifth sister had indeed kept her word!

"It's our turn to make a move!"

Song Yanzhou looked at Song Zhiyu, gesturing for him to go first.

Song Zhiyu had been waiting for a long time, and seeing that he finally had a chance to make a move, he rushed over without hesitation!

"A bunch of thieves, you are incredibly audacious!"

Song Zhiyu held a long knife in his hand. Seeing that the other party's sharp sword was about to pierce Chu Yichuan's chest, his long knife was a step faster. He not only blocked the sword directly, but also kicked the man away!

"Shh!"

With a swift and merciless slash of his longsword, he severed the other man's head!

Chu Yichuan looked at the man who appeared before him like a divine warrior descending from the heavens, a look of shock flashing in his eyes, but even more so, lingering fear.

If this person hadn't suddenly appeared, he would already be dead!

Chu Tianche didn't expect another unexpected opponent to appear. Moreover, this person was incredibly strong and his knife strikes were fast and accurate. In a short period of time, he had already killed three people!

The assassins were also horrified when they saw the incredibly strong monster in front of them. How could a person be so strong?

"Third brother, where are you?"

Song Yanzhou's voice came from the mountains and forests behind.

"Big brother, I'm here! Come quick, there are assassins here!" Song Zhiyu shouted with great energy.

Immediately afterward, footsteps were heard from behind, and the three Song brothers rushed over in a hurry. Upon seeing the scene, they quickly rushed forward.

Chu Yichuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw someone arrive, but when he realized that the people who came were the four Song brothers, his mood was indescribably strange.

In that instant, he felt like a fool, tricked into coming here by Song Ruozhen to kill him.

He had many guesses, but he never imagined that his appearance was just to give the other party credit for saving someone.

Can something like this be done so blatantly?

Chu Yichuan was so angry he almost laughed. He had never seen such an audacious person in all his years of life!

Seeing the Song family appear, Chu Tianche's feelings became even more complicated. He couldn't understand why so many unexpected changes had occurred.

With Song Yanzhou and Song Zhiyu taking action, and Song Yi'an and Song Jingshen assisting from the sidelines, they quickly killed several people, leaving two alive while two others escaped.

Chu Tianche was stabbed in the chest, his clothes stained with blood, and he finally collapsed from exhaustion.

Chu Yichuan was in slightly better condition, but he still had many wounds, both large and small, and his face was pale.

At the same time, Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting also arrived in the vicinity.

Both of them were quite "surprised" to see this.

Chu Junting quickly caught up with the two fleeing individuals, and Song Ruozhen considerately handed them a rope.

"We must keep them alive so we can interrogate them and find out who's behind this."

"You're right," Chu Junting nodded in agreement.

The two men approached, dragging the assassin along. They saw that Chu Tianche was unconscious and Chu Yichuan also looked very weak.

"Your Highness, are you alright? We'll take you back right away," Song Yanzhou said, his face full of worry.

Looking at the concerned face in front of him, Chu Yichuan was at a loss for words, wishing he could teach these guys a lesson!

Looking at Song Ruozhen and his third brother, he was momentarily confused about what they were really up to.

The third brother couldn't possibly be insane; he wouldn't deliberately put the Song family in a trap in order to ensure they would be given important positions.

Once they reveal this situation, the future of the third brother and the Song family will be completely ruined; they would never do something so foolish.

He needs to think carefully about what's going on here.

Therefore, Chu Yichuan nodded without revealing his feelings, "Thank you for saving us today. If it weren't for you, my second brother and I would probably not have survived."

"It's only right to help those in need," Song Ruozhen said with a light smile.

Chu Yichuan: "..."

When Qin Shuangshuang, with a swollen face, and Lin Zhiyue arrived, they saw blood on the ground and a scene of utter chaos.

As for the Second Prince, who was supposed to be here, severely injured and unconscious, he has disappeared without a trace.

"It's all your fault! You know how important today's events are for us, so why did you have to argue with Song Ruozhen at a time like this?"

Lin Zhiyue was furious. He had waited so long and finally got this chance to turn things around.

Now it's all destroyed!

Qin Shuangshuang naturally regretted provoking Song Ruozhen. That woman was clearly deliberately provoking her because she had the Prince of Chu backing her up!

Her face was almost smashed and burning with pain. She rushed over, only to find that her great opportunity was gone.

"How would I know? You didn't even warn me!"

"I warned you before that today's opportunity is crucial."

"Only by making a contribution today will I have a chance to rise again. Why did you have to choose today of all times to cause trouble? Now look what's happened, you have no chance at all!"

Lin Zhiyue's voice was filled with hysterical roars. The humiliation he had endured recently was driving him to the brink of collapse. He was just hoping to finally get his revenge today.

Now everything is gone!

He grabbed Qin Shuangshuang's shoulders with both hands and shook her repeatedly, "What have I done to wrong you that you would do this to me?"

"If it weren't for you, I'd still be Lord Lin, instead of being reduced to a dependent, constantly at the mercy of others. Can't you bear to see me rise again?"

Qin Shuangshuang had never seen Lin Zhiyue like this before, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

"Zhiyue, don't scare me. I didn't want to do this today either. Can't you tell that Song Ruozhen deliberately set me up?"
