I just want to live a good life

Ye Yin chased the masked man away, and Tracer, who had just arrived, came to report to Mu Yunting.

In the past, when encountering such a situation, Ye Yin would usually choose to stay and protect Mu Yunting. This time, he took the initiative to chase the assassin, which surprised Mu Yunting.

"It seems that Ye Yin has met his match." Mu Yunting sighed.

Tracer said: "Lord Ye Yin has drawn his sword. The opponent's strength is indeed not to be underestimated!"

Mu Yunting's expression gradually became heavy. Eight such powerful assassins were sent out at once. The master behind them should be a very difficult enemy to deal with.

"I hope Ye Yin can bring him back alive."

"Lord Ye Yin has just captured an assassin, but unfortunately he was killed by his companions."

"No wonder he wanted to chase after the prey himself. He couldn't bear the thought of losing the prey he had caught. Let's just wait for good news from him!"

Mu Yunting said this as he walked to the window with his hands behind his back.

This wait lasted all night.

Until the sky turned fish belly white.

In the villa outside the imperial city, the man in brocade clothes who had been waiting all night finally received news about Shadow Wolf.

"What did you say? Only five of the eight men came back?" The man in brocade couldn't believe what he heard. "Your eight most powerful men only fought with Ye Yin once and three of them were killed?"

Shadow Wolf said, "Master is right. Ye Yin is too powerful. He can fight eight of them with bare hands. The most important thing is that the prince was well prepared. My people were surrounded as soon as they arrived at the villa. They also fought hard to escape back."

The man in brocade clothes was even more shocked after hearing this. "So they really have caught Ying Shisan! Then this place will soon be unsafe. Ying Shisan will definitely betray this place and you. Fortunately, he has never seen me."

"Shadow Wolf, take your people and go to Tanzhou for shelter first. Do not return to the Imperial City without my order."

"Yes, Master. Then do you want to find some new faces to do the assassination of the Crown Prince's concubine?"

"Xia Qingyan is such a troublesome woman. She ruined my plan. She must die. But I can't use your people anymore. I'll think of another way to deal with her."

On the other side, in the prince’s villa, Ye Yin came back dragging two corpses.

Upon seeing Mu Yunting, Ye Yin quickly dropped the two bodies, clasped his fists and said, "Ye Yin is incompetent and failed to capture them alive."

Mu Yunting was shocked to see him covered in blood, "Are you injured?"

"I am not injured. This is all the blood of the assassins."

"Looking at you, the few who escaped must have been badly injured." Mu Yunting said with satisfaction, "Are there any clues on the bodies?"

"I haven't had time to check yet."

Mu Yunting waved his hand to signal Tracer to take people to check the body.

"Your Highness, these eight people are definitely not ordinary assassins. They are highly skilled in martial arts and ruthless. They show no mercy to their own people. As long as someone falls into my hands, the others will find ways to kill him and ensure that no one is left alive."

"And I think this group of assassins is very likely in the same group as the assassins who assassinated the concubine."

Hearing this, Mu Yunting pondered for a while before saying faintly, "Could it be that the assassination was aimed at me from the beginning?"

Ye Yin said: "But it doesn't make sense. If it's targeting Your Highness, why do you have to pick on the Concubine time and time again?"

"What would happen if Xia Qingyan really hanged herself on the night of her wedding?"

Ye Yin thought for a moment and replied, "The emperor will be furious, and General Xia will become an enemy of Your Highness."

"That's right." Mu Yunting said, "This is easier than assassinating me directly. But this third assassination attempt is a bit strange. Why didn't you kill Xia Qingyan directly?"

"Could it be that they want to kidnap the concubine and use it to threaten Your Highness?"

"Impossible. If you ask around in the mansion, you'll know that I can't be threatened by her."

"What if I do something to the concubine to embarrass His Highness?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two of them looked at each other at the same time, and Mu Yunting's face became extremely ugly.

"Pick a few more people to protect Xia Qingyan. Make sure she is safe."

"Yes."

.

Su Nuan had no idea what happened that night.

I didn't sleep well the night before, and I woke up in the morning with a pair of panda eyes. Chunliu had already brought in breakfast.

"Why is breakfast delivered so early today?"

"Miss, it's already late. You got up an hour late today."

"Ah?" Su Nuan couldn't believe that her biological clock, which was more accurate than a clock, was broken because of insomnia.

It was really tragic to think about it. After traveling through time and space and becoming a noble concubine of the crown prince, her life was even harder than before. In the past, she only had to work hard to make money, but now she not only had to work hard to make money but also had to worry about her life all the time.

Su Nuan stretched herself, got out of bed and washed up. When she passed by the dining table, she saw five sunny-side-up eggs on the plate and her heart ached. She experienced how easy it is to go from frugality to luxury, but how difficult it is to go from luxury to frugality.

She made some money from selling flowers a few days ago, and thinking that it was not easy for everyone to work with her, she asked Chunliu to give everyone an extra egg every morning, either boiled or fried.

But she never expected that such good days would only last for a few days before accidents happened one after another. First, the chicken was lost, and then in order to make up for Li Liu's involvement, she went to give silver to his family. Now she has little money and eggs left, but the habit of eating an egg every day has been formed.

Alas, Su Nuan sighed softly, and the burden in her heart silently increased a little.

Life is like a small whip that is always raised, urging her to move forward.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back."

Su Nuan's sadness was interrupted by Mei Xiang's shout. She rolled her eyes at Mei Xiang and thought, "His return is not good news. I still have to be on guard against him stealing my chicken again."

Mei Xiang ignored Su Nuan's look and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince sent a message saying that you should go to the study to see him in half an hour."

"Oh? Is this the case?"

Is he going to fulfill his promise or to settle accounts with me, Su Nuan thought to herself, it shouldn't be a settlement, stealing three chickens from me is at least equivalent to a duck, so he must be really fulfilling his promise.

With this in mind, she quickened the pace of her subordinates, and after washing up, she quickly sat down at the dining table to finish her breakfast. This was the experience she had summed up countless times when dealing with customers - eat and drink well, and don't be anxious!

Half an hour may not sound like a long time, but it is quite tiring to sit down and wait.

The longer she waited, the more anxious she became, and the more restless she became. After standing up from the stool for the eighth time, Su Nuan decided to take a walk in the garden and find something to do. Otherwise, if she waited any longer, she would become impatient and would be at a disadvantage when negotiating with Mu Yunting.
