I just want to live a good life

A thought flashed through Su Nuan's mind: Did Mu Yunting discover on the night of their wedding that Xia Qingyan did not commit suicide?

That's why he sent someone to protect her.

When Mu Yunting asked me if I had anything to say to him, he was actually giving her a chance to tell him about the assassination. But I didn't say it, so what would he think?

From his perspective, he would think that Xia Qingyan was hiding something from him. Something that was life-threatening must be very serious, so he would secretly send people to monitor and investigate.

Thinking of this, Su Nuan broke out in a cold sweat.

She didn't want Mu Yunting to misunderstand her, but what reason could she find to make her behavior seem reasonable?

At this moment, Yao Tai walked up to Mu Yunting with a prescription and said, "Your Highness, I have prepared the prescription. Please send someone to go with me to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine."

Without Mu Yunting's reply, Manager Ding at the side had already reached out to take the prescription and led Yao Tai out of the room.

After being distracted by Yao Tai for a while, Su Nuan came up with an excuse.

"Your Highness, I actually have something to tell you."

Hearing this, Mu Yunting raised his eyebrows.

Su Nuan interpreted this raised eyebrow as an arrogant inquiry, meaning "Are you willing to tell me?"

Clearing her throat, Su Nuan said, "In fact, I didn't hang myself on the night of my wedding. Someone wanted to kill me. He strangled me and hung me on the beam, making it look like I was hanging. Fortunately, I was lucky enough not to die."

"Then why didn't you tell me this at the time?" Mu Yunting asked.

"I thought that man was sent by you."

Mu Yunting stared at Su Nuan, as if trying to find signs of lying on her face.

Su Nuan looked at him for a while and continued, "It was not until Falcon and his men rescued me that I realized that the person who wanted to kill me was not His Highness, but someone else."

Seeing that Mu Yunting still had a somewhat doubtful look on his face, Su Nuan stood up and bowed to him, "Xia Qingyan thanks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for saving my life!"

After saying this, she looked at Mu Yunting with great piety, and her eyes were more eager than when she looked at the RMB.

Sure enough, Mu Yunting couldn't stand Su Nuan's gaze attack, and he gave in. He looked away and asked calmly, "Do you know why the assassin wants to kill you?"

Su Nuan shook her head, "I don't know, maybe I offended him in the past."

After these words were spoken, there was no more doubt on Mu Yunting's face.

"The assassin yesterday is the same person as the one on the wedding night?"

"probably."

"What do you mean by 'probably'? You saw the assassin in both assassinations. Can't you tell if it was the same person?"

"I have seen both, but both times the assassins had their faces covered, so I couldn't tell!"

"Body shape, voice, weapons, all the characteristics you can think of, describe them to me." Mu Yunting ordered.

"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember that the assassins were not the same person the first time. The first assassin was much taller than me."

Su Nuan stood next to Mu Yunting and gestured, "That man is a little shorter than you, but stronger than you. His hands are darker than yours, and his wrists are thicker."

As she spoke, she grabbed Mu Yunting's hand, pointed at his wrist and said, "There is a black mole the size of a grain of rice at this location."

Mu Yunting pulled his hand back, snorted coldly, and said, "In just one month, two enemies came to assassinate you. It seems that you have a lot of enemies!"

Su Nuan looked at his slightly flushed face and felt happy in her heart that she had accidentally teased the crown prince.

However, happy as she was, she did not forget the main thing. She disagreed with Mu Yunting's statement. Although the assassins in the two assassinations were not the same person, they did not necessarily come from two enemies.

So she spoke out her thoughts, "The two assassination attempts may have come from the same enemy. They failed last time, so it makes sense that they want to kill me again this time. And the timing of the assassin's appearance today is too strange. How did he choose this day to strike? Was it planned in advance or was it a spur of the moment decision?"

"Which type do you think he is?" Mu Yunting asked.

"I think he did it on the spur of the moment."

"why?"

"Because it was an accident that you didn't come back with me. He couldn't have known about it in advance, unless he was in cahoots with the assassin in the palace and knew that something big was going to happen in the palace today, so you would stay in the palace. But this situation is impossible! How could the person who assassinated the emperor want to assassinate me at the same time? It makes sense to assassinate you at the same time."

When these words were spoken, Su Nuan and Mu Yunting were both stunned. It was not impossible that someone wanted to assassinate the emperor and the prince at the same time.

After a moment of silence, Mu Yunting said, "This is the end of today. No matter who the assassin wants to kill, don't tell anyone else."

"It's getting late, and you're still injured. You should rest early."

After saying that, without waiting for Su Nuan to react, he turned and left.

After Mu Yunting left, Bi Tao closed the door and asked Su Nuan, "Miss, is this assassin really here to kill the Crown Prince today?"

Su Nuan shrugged, indicating that she didn't know either.

She looked at Bi Tao and suddenly remembered something, "Bi Tao, I want to ask you something."

"What is it, miss?"

"Did I leave the General's Mansion the night before my wedding to the Crown Prince?"

Su Nuan had no choice but to ask Bi Tao this question, because she could not find any information about that night in the memory of her original body, Xia Qingyan.

"I don't think so. But, Miss, do you not remember whether you have ever left the General's Mansion?"

"Don't worry about whether I remember or not. Why did you say 'probably not'? Don't you know whether I left or not?"

"Miss, you forgot that I asked for leave that evening to go to the old house to visit my grandfather. When I came back, you were already asleep."

Bi Tao's grandfather is Uncle Li from the old Xia family house. There is a story behind how the two of them were able to enter the Xia family.

Bitao's father was a centurion under Xia Lian. He died on the battlefield more than ten years ago. That year was a famine year, and Bitao's grandmother was starved to death at that time. When Bitao's mother learned that her husband died on the battlefield, she went to the county magistrate to ask for the pension issued by the court in order to survive for her family. However, the pension had been embezzled by corrupt officials. Not only did they not give Bitao's mother the pension, they also falsely accused her of a crime and beat her up. Bitao's mother died a few days after returning home.

Uncle Li brought Bitao and begged all the way to the imperial city, where they found Xia Lian and reported the corrupt official.

Later, the corrupt officials were severely punished and all the embezzled money was returned. However, the old man and the child could not live a good life for a few days after returning to their hometown relying on the little pension. Xia Lian felt sorry for the two generations and let them live in the old house and help take care of it.

Later, Bitao was sent to Xia Qingyan to be a maid. She would occasionally go back to the old house to visit Uncle Li, and sometimes Xia Qingyan would go to the old house to play with her.

Su Nuan believed that the dream she had was a memory of Xia Qingyan. It was very likely that Xia Qingyan returned to the Xia family's old house that night. She saw the process of Cui Shaoyuan being killed, but for some reason she did not tell anyone about it.

Therefore, Cui Shaoyuan did not commit suicide at all, he was murdered, and the method of killing him was exactly the same as the method of killing Xia Qingyan, so it is very likely that it was done by the same person.

But Su Nuan didn't understand why the killer wanted to kill these two people? What was the connection between them?
