After being reborn, I locked up all the scumbags and bitches in one nest.

"Greetings, Princess Yihe."

Is this Princess Yihe who recently returned from the border?

Qin Wanyou bowed slightly, "Greetings, Princess. Thank you for your help."

Shuangling and the others immediately followed their master in bowing to the little girl, saying, "Greetings, Princess."

The young girl approached the group and waved her hand. "No need for formalities. Who are you? Why do they want to kill you?"

Qin Wanyou also got a clear look at the little girl's face. She was dressed in a red riding outfit, with most of her hair tied up in a bun at the back of her head. The bun was adorned with a hairpin and several small, exquisite rubies. There was also a ruby ​​on her forehead. Two braids hung down in front of her chest, and her big almond-shaped eyes were very lively and cute.

Upon hearing the question, she answered truthfully, "I am Qin Wanyou. My father is the Right Chancellor in the court. As for who the assassin is and why he wanted to assassinate me..." She paused as if thinking for a moment, then shook her head, "I really don't know."

Princess Yihe nodded, then turned around and lashed out with her whip at a man in black who was pretending to be unconscious.

"Ah~" The man in black screamed as he was suddenly slapped.

"Tell me, who sent you?" Princess Yihe asked fiercely.

The man in black replied, "I don't know."

'Crack!' Another whip lashed down on him.

The man in black was already in enough pain in his lower body, and he couldn't bear the pain from both sides. He hurriedly begged for mercy, "Heroine, spare my life! I really didn't know. It was our boss who received money and ordered us to ambush and assassinate the people in the Right Prime Minister's carriage here today."

Mo Bei then questioned several other survivors, and they gave the same answer. However, what was interesting was that these men in black were not from the same group; they were actually under different masters. Whether they were employed by the same person remained to be verified.

Looking at the broken carriage and the incense and candles scattered on the ground, Mo Bei asked Qin Wanyou, "Second Miss, are you going to Huguo Temple to offer incense?"

Qin Wanyou nodded, looking at the mess. One guard was dead, and three others were injured to varying degrees. Uncle Qin was also injured, and Shuangling had been slashed on the arm.

Princess Yihe was also very kind-hearted. "I'll go ahead and find someone to get you a carriage to take you back."

Before the princess could call for her horse, Mo Nan jumped down from the coachman's seat, which had been parked to the side, and walked up to Qin Wanyou.

"Second Miss, our master invites you to ride in a carriage to Huguo Temple. We will leave things here to Mo Bei."

Qin Wanyou glanced at them, then nodded, and she and Shuangling helped each other walk toward the carriage.

Princess Yihe stared wide-eyed as Mo Nan helped Qin Wanyou into the carriage.

then,

They weren't forced to come down!

Ignoring his own horse's arrival, he went to Mo Bei's side and quietly asked, "Is your master really in the carriage?"

Mo Bei nodded respectfully.

The princess then asked, "When did your master change? He actually let someone ride in his carriage?"

Mo Bei replied, "Princess, the Second Miss is the master's fiancée, so of course she can ride in the master's carriage."

The princess was startled, her eyes widening instantly. Her fiancée?

Mo Bei looked at the astonished princess and explained, "It was a marriage decreed by the Emperor."

The princess realized what was happening and nodded. She had thought he would live a lonely life, but after so many years, she hadn't expected the little devil to have changed.

Since someone was helping to handle it, the princess didn't stay any longer and rode off on her horse.

Mo Nan tossed Mo Bei some medicine to stop the bleeding and then drove the carriage straight to Huguo Temple.

After getting into the carriage, Qin Wanyou thanked Murong Xiao, who, while looking at his book, gave a soft "hmm".

Seeing that Murong Xiao didn't want to say anything more, Qin Wanyou also kept quiet and looked at the carriage.

The Regent's Palace was indeed grand. This carriage was so much better than the one I was riding in. Although it looked bigger than the average one from the outside, upon closer inspection I realized that it was made of the finest wood and the windows were intricately carved.

The interior is luxurious and sophisticated. Although it was almost the end of July, the sun was still high in the sky, dazzlingly bright.

The weather has been even hotter these past few days, but as soon as you enter the carriage, you feel a cool breeze, which means there must have been ice inside; there is also a small table in the middle of the carriage, with tea and snacks on it.

Murong Xiao sat in the middle, with two drawers on either side of the seat. These drawers could be used as armrests or as pillows if he wanted to lie down.

You really know how to enjoy life!

Shuangling and Mo Nan sat outside; the car was quiet.

This was the first time Qin Wanyou had ever sat in a closed space with a man. She felt a little uncomfortable as she smelled the faint sandalwood-like fragrance around her.

However, the carriage soon started moving, but Qin Wanyou did not feel very bumpy and gradually became drowsy.

Although Murong Xiao was looking at the book in his hand, he saw Qin Wanyou's every move.

Although the girl in front of me looked a little disheveled and her clothes were a bit wrinkled, she still looked radiant and showed no signs of nervousness or fear. She seemed a little unnatural just now, but I didn't expect her to calm down so quickly and doze off without any guard.

Am I really that unattractive?

Murong Xiao shook his head, reached for the teapot, and poured tea.

Just as the tea was being poured, Qin Wanyou's eyes snapped open. Upon seeing that it was Murong Xiao pouring the tea, she immediately returned to normal.

Murong Xiao noticed Qin Wanyou's reaction out of the corner of his eye, realizing he had misunderstood.

Take out a new teacup, fill it to about seven-tenths full, and hand it to Qin Wanyou. "Second Miss, please."

Qin Wanyou accepted the teacup. "Thank you, Your Highness!"

"No need to be polite!" After saying that, Murong Xiao picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Then Qin Wanyou raised her teacup and took a sip to calm herself down.

"I heard that the Prime Minister's residence held a wedding yesterday. Why are you going out today?" Murong Xiao asked casually.

Qin Wanyou looked at the teacup and said calmly, "I'm sure the young master has heard about the recent events at the Right Prime Minister's residence. There have been many accidents in the residence recently. Last night, my father discovered that a thief had attacked the residence. Even the old ancestor was mobilized but still couldn't catch the thief. So, I went to Huguo Temple to pray for the Right Prime Minister's residence."

Murong Xiao's expression remained unchanged, but a strange glint flashed in his eyes. "Oh? I haven't heard of it."

I went through the messages I saw this morning, but there was no message from Xiao Ba.

Qin Wanyou thought that Murong Xiao was usually too busy to pay attention to the family affairs of court officials. "It's not a good thing, it's better for the young master not to know."

Murong Xiao turned a page of the book in his hand. "Tell me what it is, and if I can help?"

Qin Wanyou stared at Murong Xiao: Are you serious?

However, he declined first, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, but you have many affairs to attend to in your household. It is important for you to take care of yourself, so I will not trouble you any further."

Murong Xiao suddenly looked up at Qin Wanyou, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, "You're very concerned about my health?"
