Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

That day, Su Qianrou was strolling leisurely down the street when suddenly someone called out to her from behind, "Qianrou." Hearing this, she turned around and saw that it was Liu Liujun. She was somewhat surprised, "Young Master Liu, what a coincidence."

Liu Chengjun walked up to her and asked, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you here. Is there something you need on West Street?"

"I'm planning to open a pastry shop here, and I'm here today to see how the shop is being set up."

"Could it be that shop called Delicious Pastries?"

"right".

"That's quite a direct name," Liu Chengyun joked.

"Once you've tasted it, you'll know that the name truly lives up to its reputation."

"Your words make me really look forward to it. I'll definitely come and patronize it when it opens."

"Three days from now, I'll have someone send some to the chess club for you to try."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

"There's no need for formalities between friends."

"Friends," Liu Chengyun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Seeing that he seemed lost in thought, Su Qianrou asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, are you going back now?"

"Ok".

"I send you".

Before Su Qianrou could answer, Mu Jinchen's voice came, "I won't trouble Young Master Liu with my princess consort." He then walked to Su Qianrou's side and put his arm around her shoulder.

Su Qianrou was somewhat surprised, "Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to take you home," she said, then looked at Liu Chengjun. "What a coincidence, Young Master Liu is here too."

"Your Highness, it's been a long time."

"Not long ago, a little over a month ago, I saw Young Master Liu at the entrance of Pinshixuan, but Young Master Liu didn't know it," he said, looking at Su Qianrou and deliberately asking, "However, Your Highness should remember, right? That day, I happened to be picking Your Highness up to take you back to the mansion for a meal."

Su Qianrou certainly remembered; how could she not remember when she was said to be having a secret rendezvous with a man on the street? But she said, "Really? I don't remember."

"I really don't remember, do you want me to remind you?" she said, deliberately moving closer, her tone somewhat ambiguous.

Su Qianrou whispered, "Be more discreet in public."

"What's wrong with me?" Mu Jinchen asked, knowing the answer already.

Su Qianrou glared at him.

However, Liu Chengjun perceived this as flirting, which made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. So he said, "I have something to do, so I'll be going now. See you next time."

“Okay,” Su Qianrou replied.

Then, Liu Chengyun walked past them and left the place.

“Let’s go back and have our meal,” Su Qianrou said.

"Now that you're willing to leave, weren't you having a great chat just now? What did you talk about?"

"We didn't talk much. We just bumped into each other, said hello, and chatted for a bit."

"real".

"What else can we do... Okay, let's go," she said, pulling him forward.

"What did he mean by saying 'see you next time'?"

"It means see you next time."

"Have you forgotten that you are a married woman?"

"With a grown man like you right here, I can't forget you even if I wanted to."

"What do you mean? You actually thought about it?" Mu Jinchen stopped and looked at her.

"No, how could I dare?" After saying that, Su Qianrou took his arm and continued walking forward.

"So it's not that I don't want to, but that I dare not."

"What's wrong with you today? You keep finding fault. Are you in a bad mood? Did someone upset you?"

"Besides you, who dares to mess with me?"

"I didn't do anything to you today."

"Who said there isn't?"

"What did I do to offend you?"

Mu Jinchen did not answer, but said, "Stay away from other men in the future, especially Liu Chengjun."

Su Qianrou couldn't help but laugh, "So, you're jealous. I mean, are you a jealous person? Why are you always jealous? Aren't you jealous?"

"Who's jealous? I was just reminding you to stay away from people with ulterior motives."

"I think you're the one with ulterior motives, you stingy person."

Mu Jinchen naturally wouldn't admit to being stingy, but he didn't say anything, only looking arrogant.

Just then, an unexpected event occurred: a group of archers appeared on the surrounding buildings and started shooting arrows at them without saying a word.

Mu Jinchen instinctively shielded Su Qianrou behind him.

"Protect the Prince and Princess," Yingfeng said, then he and his attendants stood in front of Su Qianrou and Mu Jinchen to block the rain of arrows for them.

Seeing that they couldn't hurt them with swords, a group of assassins emerged from all directions, surrounded them, and then attacked them without saying a word.

There were twice as many assassins as servants, so the servants were no match for them and quickly found themselves at a disadvantage.

As the assassin approached step by step, Mu Jinchen said to Su Qianrou, "Find a place to hide and come out when it's safe."

Su Qianrou knew that she was a burden to him, not only distracting him but also dragging him down, so she did not refuse and said, "Be careful."

"Ok".

At this moment, an assassin attacked Mu Jinchen with a sword, but fortunately he reacted quickly, not only easily dodging the attack but also killing the assassin in return. However, more and more assassins followed.

Su Qianrou then went to a nearby stall and hid.

Meanwhile, the surrounding merchants and people had already fled in all directions when the rain of swords began to fall, and had long since hidden themselves away.

Fortunately, Mu Jinchen was highly skilled in martial arts, and soon he defeated the assassins one by one.

Furthermore, with the help of Shadow Wind and his attendants, the assassins not only failed but also suffered heavy casualties.

Unintentionally, Su Qianrou noticed two people standing on the opposite balcony. One of them was wearing a mask, so his face was not visible, but judging from his clothes and demeanor, he must be of high status and might be the one who planned this assassination.

There was another person standing beside him, who was now holding a bow and arrow and aiming it at Mu Jinchen.

Startled, Su Qianrou instinctively shouted, "Be careful!" and without thinking, she ran towards Mu Jinchen, blocking his way.

The moment she finished speaking, an arrow was shot out, but Mu Jinchen didn't notice. By the time he reacted, Su Qianrou had already shielded him from the arrow.

"Rou'er," Mu Jinchen panicked completely.

Su Qianrou felt a sharp pain in her chest, and then fell backward due to inertia.

Mu Jinchen quickly supported her, "Rou'er, don't scare me, wake up, wake up."

At this moment, Su Qianrou had already fainted from the pain and was completely unresponsive.

Mu Jinchen looked up and met the masked man's gaze. He could no longer hide the anger in his eyes and was determined to tear him to pieces.

The masked man not only didn't take it to heart, but also curled the corners of his mouth as if in a provocation, and then turned and left unhurriedly.

Yingfeng quickly walked over and asked with concern, "Your Highness, how is the Princess?"

"Summon the imperial physician."

"Yes".

Then, Mu Jinchen picked up Su Qianrou and quickly returned to the Regent's Palace.
