We have all the space treasury in hand, so mere exile is nothing.

In order to keep the second prince and the third prince evenly matched, Ye Qingran set up spies on the second prince's way back to the capital. As long as the third prince's people came to assassinate the second prince, someone would inform her.

If the second prince is defeated, she will send reinforcements.

But what she didn't expect was that when she arrived, she only saw corpses on the ground, and the second prince who was still alive.

Since Liu Xiang had informed her in advance that the third prince would take action against the second prince, she was already prepared for this.

But what she didn't expect was that the third prince would come forward in person and directly kill the second prince without leaving even the slightest chance.

She turned to look at Chu Qingyun aside. After all, this was his relative. She didn't know what he would think.

However, Chu Qingyun did not express any opinion on this, and there was no change in his expression. He just checked the corpses one by one to see if anyone was lucky enough to survive.

"There is still one alive, let's see if he can be saved."

Suddenly, Chu Qingyun opened his mouth and waved to Ye Qingran.

Hearing this, Ye Qingran immediately walked over quickly and saw not far from the body of the second prince, there was also a guard wearing soft armor lying on the ground covered in blood. Although he had fainted, there was still pulse.

She checked the man's condition and nodded: "It is true that he can be saved, but now I don't have the tools to treat him immediately. I will stop his bleeding first, and you can help me bring him to the house where we are temporarily resting. , I’ll go find some medicinal materials first.”

After the two of them split up, Ye Qingran began to get medicinal materials and small tools from the space, as well as some pills that might be used later.

After preparing all this, she returned to her temporary residence.

At this time, Chu Qingyun had laid the guard flat on the bed. Ye Qingran went through the treatment process in his mind first, and then started like this without letting Chu Qingyun wait outside.

Under Chu Qingyun's gaze, Ye Qingran quickly treated the guard's wounds.

From these wounds, it can be seen that the person who did it had murderous intentions. Almost every blow was carried with the force of killing in one blow. However, this person had a high life expectancy and must have good martial arts. None of the blows struck the fatal position. Only then did he barely survive.

After staying here all night, the guard slowly woke up.

But it’s better to say it’s a startling awakening than a sudden awakening.

When he woke up, he almost sat up suddenly, but the wound on his body was too deep and he couldn't use any force. However, after he struggled like this, the wound burst open and blood oozed from the cotton cloth. .

Seeing him waking up, Ye Qingran stepped forward and asked, "How are you? Do you feel okay?"

When the man saw Ye Qingran, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he wanted to stand up and salute, but he was really helpless.

"You...you are...the queen?"

Ye Qingran did not expect that such a small guard of the Second Prince's Mansion could recognize her, but he still said softly: "There is no queen here, the queen is in the palace. I am just a businessman with medical skills. You made a mistake. .”

After hearing what she said, the guard remembered that she was no longer the queen, so he pursed his lips and understood the meaning of her words.

Ye Qingran is not only not a queen now, but also a sinner who has been exiled by her whole family. If she still struggles with her past identity, her life may be in danger.

"What's your name? What happened to you on the way?"

"My name is A Yuan. I am the personal bodyguard of the second prince. When we returned from a great victory, we were ambushed by the third prince on the road. It was he who personally led his men to annihilate us, and... he also killed His Highness the second prince."

He recalled the situation at that time, feeling a little resentful in his heart. He hated himself for not being able to protect the second prince, and also hated the third prince for being so cruel and ruthless, even his own brother was not spared.

Ye Qingran knew what he was thinking in his heart, so he said: "This matter is not your problem. No one can predict that the third prince will be so ruthless. Besides, the third prince has been planning this matter for a long time. No matter what, he will He wants to kill the second prince, maybe this is a foregone conclusion."

The third prince was very thoughtful. He ostensibly handed over the assassination matter to Prime Minister Liu, but in fact he was just passing on false news. He did not expect Prime Minister Liu to handle such an important matter.

This also caused the second prince and Ye Qingran to misjudge the timing of the third prince's attack and how many people the third prince would send.

But now that the second prince is dead, there is no point in reviewing this.

"Since you saved me and I have nowhere to go, let me follow you from now on, Huang...Miss Ye."

He looked sad and seemed unable to recover from this tragedy.

Ye Qingran smiled and replied: "Okay, I happen to be short of guards around me, so you can follow me from now on. But you also understand my situation. Sometimes I can't protect myself, and I may not be able to protect you." "

A Yuan shook his head: "I don't care. I've already died once, so why should I be afraid of other things? I owe you a life, and it's right to give it back to you."

Ye Qingran was very satisfied with his answer and nodded: "Okay, then follow me from now on. It just so happens that I also have something that I need you to do, and this matter is closely related to you and the second prince."

A Yuan didn't ask what it was about and agreed directly.

"Knock knock knock."

There was a knock on the door, and Ye Qingran was a little wary, but the next second he heard Chu Qingyun's voice.

"I brought some food back."

Ye Qingran went to open the door for him, and then took the things in his hand.

Seeing A Yuan wake up, Chu Qingyun also gave him a sesame seed cake.

A Yuan looked at his somewhat familiar face and accepted the food: "Thank you very much."

After he finished eating, Chu Qingyun asked: "When you fought, did you leave any evidence to prove that the other party took action against you?"

Speaking of this, A Yuan remembered the jade seal he had torn off the third prince during the fight, took it out from his arms and handed it to them.

"I got this from the third prince. He probably didn't pay much attention to it, and this."

He took out a fluorescent bead from nowhere and said, "This is the luminous pearl that the second prince picked out from the Beihuang treasury and prepared to present it to His Majesty. It's a pity that there will be no chance again."

After Chu Qingyun took the jade seal and looked at it carefully, he nodded to Ye Qingran, indicating that the jade seal was indeed genuine.

"A Yuan, since you will follow me from now on, I will try my best to ensure your safety and prevent you from being recognized by the third prince. So I want to change your name to An Ye, how about it?"

A Yuan nodded: "Okay, I remember."

"Don't worry, we will let the truth about the second prince's death come to light and we will never let the murderer go unpunished!"
