I just want to live a good life

The news that the prince's concubine had been attacked again soon spread to the prince's villa.

Mu Yunting was reading a book. He seemed very impatient after listening to Ye Yin's report. "Why did she run out instead of staying in the mansion?"

"Falcon said that the concubine was going to give money to Li Liu's wife and children."

"She has a conscience."

"Your Highness, Falcon said that the assassin this time was a little strange. He approached the concubine and didn't seem to want to kill her."

"Oh?" Mu Yunting raised his eyebrows, "If you don't want to kill someone, what are you going to do?"

"Not sure, it seems like he has something to say." Ye Yin replied: "Based on the positions of the assassin and the Concubine at the time, if he really attacked the Concubine, the two Falcons would not have been able to stop him in time."

"They have the nerve to say such things. We asked them to monitor Xia Qingyan, but all they sent back were trivial matters. The really important news was only sent after the incident. You might as well replace these two people."

"Your Highness, Falcon and Liefeng have already shown up in front of the Concubine, so it's most appropriate to have them follow and protect her. In fact, they can't be blamed for what happened last time. The Concubine has so many things planted in her yard, so it's normal to get some fertilizer. Besides, they always thought that the person who stole the chicken was a subordinate, so..."

Mu Yunting's face darkened when he heard this.

Seeing this, Ye Yin quickly shut his mouth.

That night, Su Nuan lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Through the memories of her original body, Xia Qingyan, Su Nuan could tell that she was a simple person who had done many stupid things, but if she was to say whether there was anything that was worth others risking their lives to kill her one after another, it didn't seem to be the case.

After all, most of the people Xia Qingyan offended were ordinary people, and occasionally a few dignitaries would not bother with her for the sake of the general.

These people were unwilling to offend even a great general, let alone seek revenge on Xia Qingyan after she married into the Prince's Mansion.

If he wasn't here to seek revenge on her, then what would be the reason for killing her?

Su Nuan's mind unconsciously thought of the dream in which Cui Shaoyuan was hanged. Her intuition told her that if she uncovered the cause of Cui Shaoyuan's death, she would be able to find the real reason why Xia Qingyan was assassinated.

However, the original Xia Qingyan seemed to have no connection with Cui Shaoyuan, and there was almost no information about Cui Shaoyuan in her memory, so it was not easy to find out the cause of his death.

Wait! Su Nuan suddenly had an idea. If they really had no connection, why would she have such a dream?

She decided to go to the Xia family's old house after the flower-viewing banquet to see if she could stimulate Xia Qingyan's memory there.

Like Su Nuan, the man in brocade clothes in the manor outside the imperial city also stayed awake all night.

"Master, the people we sent out have reported back that they found no trace of Ying Shisan."

The man in brocade clothes was pacing around the room with a gloomy face. After hearing what Shadow Wolf said, he stopped and asked, "Did the person who went to the Prince's Mansion to inquire get any news? Could he have fallen into the hands of the Prince?"

"Someone from the Prince's Mansion reported back that the Prince has not been in the mansion these days."

"Oh?" The man in brocade clothes asked in surprise, "Where did he go?"

Shadow Wolf replied: "I heard that he went to stay in another courtyard for a few days."

"It's bad. It would be terrible if Ying Shisan was taken to the other courtyard by the prince's men. Send someone to the prince's other courtyard quickly."

"But, Master, with Ying Shisan's martial arts, the prince's secret guards may not be his match. He may not fall into the prince's hands."

"There is a master named Ye Yin beside the prince. He is a very powerful character. If he attacks, not to mention Ying Shisan, even you may not be his opponent."

The man in brocade clothes seemed to have made up his mind, "Release all the top eight killers in your hands. No matter what, I want to see Ying Shisan's body before dawn."

At the same time, in the prince's villa, Mu Yunting was also completely awake. He was sitting in front of the desk, holding a book in his hand, in a daze.

"Your Highness."

As soon as Ye Yin's voice reached Mu Yunting's ears, the door was pushed open.

Mu Yunting was somewhat dissatisfied, and raised his eyes to ask Ye Yin: "It's so late, what's the matter?"

Ye Yin said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, there are a few uninvited guests in the courtyard. I am afraid they will harm Your Highness."

"who?"

“I can’t see the way out, but they are all experts.”

"How many people are there on the other side?"

"Eight."

"So many?" Mu Yunting was slightly surprised.

"Your Highness, there are only a dozen guards in the courtyard right now. We are no match for these few people. Let me escort Your Highness and leave first."

"No need. Send a signal to Tracer and the others. You must hold these people back before they arrive."

"Your Highness, isn't this too risky? We don't know if they have support outside."

"If taking a risk can lead to finding the mastermind, it's worth it. Besides, with you here, I don't think it's a risk."

"But……"

"But what? I'm not afraid, so why should you be afraid?"

Ye Yin had no choice but to follow Mu Yunting's orders.

As a red firework bloomed in the sky, a chase and hunt in the dark night officially began.

The eight men in black who had sneaked into the courtyard saw the fireworks and determined that it was a trap set for them, so the leader whistled, signaling his companions to retreat quickly.

Of course Ye Yin couldn't let them leave easily, so he chose the two people closest to him and started fighting.

The two men were caught off guard and were suppressed by Ye Yin in just a few moves.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader immediately brought people to besiege Ye Yin.

Each of these eight people is a top-notch master. If it is a one-on-one fight, Ye Yin can still have the upper hand, but if it is eight against one, no matter how high his martial arts skills are, he will find it difficult to cope.

"Brother, let's retreat now. Once his reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult for us to escape." A man in black said.

"Brother, don't listen to the fourth brother. This guy is so skilled. If we don't kill him now, there will be endless trouble in the future."

"Yes, kill him. Even if their reinforcements arrive, they are just ordinary guards and can't do anything to us."

"You guys are just a bunch of rats, and you think you can kill me? Dream on!" Ye Yin said as he pulled out a short sword less than two feet long from his waist. The name of this sword is Zhanbai, and few people have seen the true appearance of this sword.

Just when Ye Yin was preparing for a big battle, the leader of the men in black suddenly shouted "Retreat", and then several hidden weapons shot towards Ye Yin.

When Ye Yin raised his sword to block the hidden weapon, the eight men in black retreated in four directions.

Seeing that the mission assigned by the prince was about to fail, Ye Yin gritted his teeth, risked being hit by a hidden weapon, and raised his sword to stab one of them.

He was extremely fast and was behind the man in the blink of an eye. He cut the white sword and pierced the man's shoulder with it.

The man staggered, and the next moment he was controlled by Ye Yin who had caught up with him.

Finally, he caught a live person, which could be considered as an explanation to the prince. Ye Yin was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when a thorn bar was thrown at him. He quickly stepped back to dodge, but the thorn bar hit the man in black he had captured. The man groaned, and then his body fell limply to the ground.

Just then, Tracer received the signal and came with her men.

Ye Yin shouted at Tracer, "Protect His Highness!"

He chased after him with his sword in hand.
