Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

There are a total of 50,000 taels of silver notes. Princess Longyu brought all the silver notes she could from her residence. "You two, each of you carry some with you. I will have the guards take the rest. After you go south, I will not contact you again to avoid being investigated."

Ye Wanning's eyes welled up with tears, "Godmother, I..."

"No need to say so much, I understand." Princess Longyu's face showed a rare kindness. "In this life, we don't ask for longevity, it's good enough to accompany each other for a while. I've seen whether you've been sincere these past few days, and it's my duty to arrange these things for you."

"I still have to thank you." Ye Wanning knelt down and kowtowed. "Without you, I would never have dared to be myself."

With tears in her eyes, Granny Jiang helped Ye Wanning up. "Miss, please get up quickly. You must take care of yourself. You must take good care of yourself from now on, and don't think too much about anything. The most important thing is to live happily. If there is anything you can't solve, remember the jade pendant His Highness gave you. Just take it out and go to the place His Highness told you to look for it, and His Highness will know."

Ye Wanning nodded and said okay, then wiped away her tears.

Princess Longyu did not arrange a place for Ye Wanning, but instead escorted her to a location. After that, Ye Wanning could decide how far she wanted to go.

Otherwise, if Princess Longyu gets involved, it will inevitably be discovered.

After tidying themselves up, Ye Wanning and Princess Longyu reappeared in the public eye. Princess Longyu took a bow and arrow and went hunting with Ye Wanning.

The hunting grounds were very large; once inside the woods, there was no one to be seen.

Princess Longyu, accompanied by her guards, headed towards their destination. As they entered the depths of the jungle, an arrow suddenly grazed Princess Longyu's cheek.

If it weren't for the timely intervention of the guards, Princess Longyu would have already been shot through the throat by the second arrow.

"There's an assassin!" Granny Jiang shouted.

Ye Wanning nervously looked at Princess Longyu, but Princess Longyu told her to run away quickly, "It wasn't arranged by me."

Someone really wants Princess Longyu dead!

But the other party dares not show their face, because if they do, they will be discovered and their identity may be exposed.

Princess Longyu said, "They're coming for me! You run! Let's split up!"

Ye Wanning, along with Yunzhi and two guards, ran north, while Princess Longyu headed south back to the hunting grounds.

Seeing them separate, the group of assassins rushed out of the woods, but all of them were masked, indicating that they were determined to kill Princess Longyu this time.

Several people came after Ye Wanning. Hearing the arrows hitting the trees around her, one after another, Ye Wanning's heart jumped into her throat.

At the same time, Princess Ning'an and Bai Xu also encountered assassins.

Seeing Bai Xu lying in a pool of blood, Princess Ning'an cried out for help, "Help! There's an assassin!"

Her guards were holding off the assassins. Bai Xu was hit by two arrows, one of which pierced his chest. Princess Ning'an herself was also hit by an arrow in the arm.

Bai Xu looked at the person in front of him, wanting to reach out and touch Princess Ning'an's face, but he didn't have much strength. "Princess, I..."

How could this be?

He was clearly going to marry a pampered princess. Once the crown prince ascended the throne, Princess Ning'an would become a princess, and he would become the prince consort. The entire Bai family would depend on him for survival.

The imperial decree granting the marriage had just been issued; how could he be dying so soon?

Bai Xu was unwilling, extremely unwilling.

The thought of the wealth and glory that was about to come turning to ashes at this moment made Bai Xu stare wide-eyed.

Although Princess Ning'an was crying out, there was no sadness in her eyes. Bai Xu was going to die, he was really going to die, and that was the only thought in her mind.

Xie Bohuai was the first to arrive. He and the men from the town government quickly dealt with the assassins, but left no survivors.

"Lord Xie, please take a look at Bai Xu!" Princess Ning'an squeezed out a tear.

Xie Bohuai confirmed that Bai Xu was dead, but still ordered his men to carry Bai Xu back quickly. "Let's go!"

He remembered that Ye Wanning and Princess Longyu had also entered the woods, and now everyone in the woods was in danger!

Xie Bohuai led Qingshan on horseback into the woods, where they soon encountered Prince Duan, who had also been assassinated, and he had to stop.

"An assassin is trying to kill me!" Prince Duan's face was grim. "Xie Bohuai, this is what you did. If it were my father hunting today, what would you have done?"

Prince Duan is younger and can still run; if it were the Emperor, he would probably die here.

After confirming that Prince Duan was alright, Xie Bohuai rushed into the woods without looking back. He had to find Ye Wanning and Princess Longyu!

At this time, Princess Ning'an and her entourage had already been taken back to the hunting grounds. The imperial physician examined Bai Xu and shook his head helplessly, "Princess, please accept my condolences. Young Master Bai has already passed away."

Princess Ning'an suddenly fainted, her vision blurred, and she was covered in blood. The Crown Princess was so frightened that she quickly had Princess Ning'an carried away.

When Princess Xihe, who had been called back, saw this scene, her face turned pale with fright. "How could this be?"

Upon learning that Ye Wanning was still in the woods, Princess Xihe was anxious to go in and find her, but her brother stopped her, saying, "What can you do if you go? You stay with Father and Mother. I'll take people to rescue Miss Ye and Aunt."

Without a word, Li Mao left with his men, while Li Jun stood there dumbfounded, asking what to do.

When Bai Shu and Zhu Shi saw Bai Xu's body, they both burst into tears. Bai Shu cried to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, you must do justice for this old minister! My grandson, whom I have painstakingly raised, is gone just like that. Who was so bold as to attempt an assassination in the hunting grounds?"

The emperor smashed his cup on the spot, demanding, "Where is Xie Bohuai? Where is he?"

The eunuch reported, "Your Majesty, Lord Xie has already led men to pursue Princess Longyu!"

"Is Longyu still in the woods?" Upon receiving an affirmative answer, the Emperor slammed his fist on the table. "What are the Imperial Guards doing? How could they allow an assassin to appear in the hunting grounds? Investigate them all! Find out who did this!"

The emperor couldn't catch his breath and, leaning against the wooden table, coughed violently, even coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince hurriedly summoned the imperial physician to treat the Emperor.

For a time, panic gripped the people, and no one dared to leave their tents for fear of encountering assassins.

At this moment, Xie Bohuai had already encountered Princess Longyu. Although Princess Longyu had lost her hairpin and her hair was all disheveled, Xie Bohuai arrived in time, otherwise she would have almost lost her life.

"Xie...Xie Bohuai, hurry...hurry!" Princess Longyu pointed in the direction behind her, "Go quickly and save Wanning!"

She didn't arrange for assassins, but only for wild animals. If someone wanted to kill her, they would certainly not let Ye Wanning go.

Upon hearing Princess Longyu's words, Xie Bohuai didn't hesitate, tightened the reins, and galloped away.
