May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

He also wanted to stay by Wen Yuanshu's side.

However, before he could speak, Madam Wen spoke again: "Yuan Shu only needs to be well-protected. It doesn't matter if there are more or less people around her. What's important right now is to find the person who did this, and only you can do that now, Cheng Yuan."

"You two shouldn't just sit idly by either," Wen Heng said, looking at the Wen Jing brothers. "Go with Cheng Yuan, and do whatever Cheng Yuan tells you to do!"

The two brothers nodded and carried Lu Chengyuan away, one on each side.

“Granny Sulan,” Madam Wen’s gaze shifted, “I’m sorry to trouble you to make this trip, but Yuan Shu needs someone by her side right now. Once Yuan Shu’s condition stabilizes, we will definitely go and thank Her Highness for her kindness in person.”

Granny Sulan was not someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Then this servant will go back and report to Your Highness."

Madam Wen nodded and took the lead into the tent, followed closely by Madam Wen the First and Madam Wen the Second.

The camp reeked of blood.

Wen Heng stopped outside the screen, but the worry in his eyes was no less.

Wen Yuanshu's clothes, which she had worn when she went out, had been taken off and were draped to the side. Blood had soaked through several layers of clothing, spreading out in large patches, which was a truly shocking sight.

Such injuries would be extremely fatal on the battlefield.

Madam Wen the Second gasped and instinctively looked at Madam Wen the Old Madam.

Madam Wen's gaze also fell on those clothes, and her eyes were already red.

"Mother……"

Madam Wen raised her hand, took a few steps forward, and looked at her daughter, whose face was so pale that she had no color in her skin and whose breathing was barely audible. Tears finally rolled down her cheeks.

Madam Wen and Madam Wen exchanged a glance, but could only pretend they hadn't seen anything.

Meanwhile, Lu Chengyuan, having regained his senses, went straight to the emperor's tent.

He took very long strides, and Wen Tianming had to run a couple of steps to catch up with him: "Shouldn't we be rushing to find out who did this? Why are we going to see His Majesty?"

“The three of us are outnumbered and outgunned, and although we have the Embroidered Uniform Guards assisting us in secret, we may face too many obstacles,” Wen Jing said.

Therefore, the best course of action right now is to bring this matter to the emperor's attention.

As they spoke, they had already reached the outside of the emperor's tent.

"You wait outside."

As Lu Chengyuan spoke, he continued walking and entered the emperor's tent in just a few steps.

The emperor had known he was coming and had no intention of resting now.

"How is Madam Lu?"

"I...did not see her."

The emperor sighed.

"I am here, yet these villains dare to commit violence. It is clear they do not respect me," the emperor said. "Minister Lu, I entrust this matter to you to investigate thoroughly and find the mastermind behind it all to put my mind at ease."

Wen Yuanshu is the only daughter of the Wen family, so this matter must be thoroughly investigated. If he simply sends Lu Chengyuan away, then Wen Heng will be next.

Moreover, he was also very curious to know who dared to make a move right under his nose.

Lu Chengyuan had actually anticipated the emperor's decisive action.

After all, the emperor couldn't stay cooped up in his tent all the time; he had to go out and move around from time to time.

Even if the emperor was protected by the Imperial Guards when he traveled, it was difficult to guard against hidden dangers, and the emperor would not joke about his own safety.

Therefore, the emperor would definitely order a thorough investigation.

"I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

Lu Chengyuan accepted the order and left.

Outside, the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Imperial Guards had already assembled.

The person who came out with the Imperial Guards this time was the Left Commander of the Imperial Guards, a man of strong build and somewhat simple and honest appearance.

"By order of His Majesty, these Imperial Guards are at your disposal at any time."

"Thank you."

Lu Chengyuan placed one hand on his knife, his sharp, hawk-like gaze sweeping over everyone.

"Seven people per team. Three teams will come with me to search the woods and see if there is anything suspicious. The rest of you will search the camp."
