Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

Su Xuqing breathed a sigh of relief and held Shen Xuanheng in her arms.

"Husband, are you feeling better?"

Shen Xuanheng opened his eyes with difficulty, revealed a weak smile, then raised his thumb and said with a smile: "Lying in your arms, I feel full of energy."

"Magic!"

Su Xuqing glared at him in reproach, then started to cry while laughing.

She was really scared just now and thought she was going to lose her husband. The feeling of being burned inside was really extremely painful.

But fortunately, someone changed his fate and allowed him to survive.

Su Xuqing secretly decided that if she met the wandering monk one day, she would repay him even if she had to work like a slave.

Bai Zhu was so happy at this moment that he grinned for a long time.

"The Crown Prince's Consort is truly a miracle doctor. Her medicine cures all diseases."

Su Xuqing smiled lightly, and then suddenly realized something was wrong. She looked at Bai Zhu and asked, "By the way, how did you two get together? Aren't you the guard of Pavilion Master Liang of Tianxiang Pavilion?"

"Uh... I was borrowed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to deal with Xu Younian, but I didn't expect that the ghost doctor Zhao Qiankun had a trick up his sleeve. We almost got caught. I'm so ashamed."

Su Xuqing looked suspicious and said, "Really? But I saw that you seemed to be particularly worried about my husband just now, just like a friend you have known for many years."

After hearing this, Shen Xuanheng and Bai Zhu were both extremely panicked.

Baizhu's palms were sweating and his head was shaking like smoke.

"Haha, of course I'm worried. Pavilion Master Liang specifically told me to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If anything happens to him, I won't be able to report back."

Su Xuqing thought about it, and then felt that it made some sense.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's go down the mountain."

Bai Zhu took the initiative to step forward and carried Shen Xuanheng on his back. Su Xuqing looked back at Xue Tao and said, "What are you standing there for? Come with us."

Xue Tao sniffed and quickly followed.

The group went down the mountain under the moonlight. When they reached halfway up the mountain, they suddenly saw a large number of torches coming up from the bottom of the mountain.

The sound of footsteps came from far away.

"The one in front is the Crown Prince's Consort of the Zhennan Palace!"

Bai Zhu vaguely saw the people coming in armed with weapons, and immediately asked, "Yes, who are you?"

"I am the commander of the patrol camp. I heard that the Crown Prince's wife was in danger, so I came to rescue her."

Bai Zhu looked at Su Xuqing after hearing this. Su Xuqing patted his forehead and said, "I forgot that it was me who asked Yinhuan to go to the patrol camp for help."

At this moment, a petite figure came up from the back of the team, panting.

"Woo, ma'am, I'm so glad you're okay!"

Yinhuan rushed into the forest like a young swallow and hugged Su Xuqing. Then she saw Shen Xuanheng's pale face and suddenly became nervous.

"Ma'am, what happened?"

"Let me tell you."

Shen Xuanheng lay on Bai Shu's shoulder and slowly raised his head. The patrol battalion was here today, and what happened on the mountain must be revealed. A second-rank official of the imperial court died there, and there must be an explanation.

"The owner of the Bloody Robe Tower, Xue Tao, previously sent someone to rob and kill my wife. Today, my prince and Xu Shangshu from the Ministry of Justice chased Xue Tao here, intending to bring him to justice. However, I never expected that there were Xue Tao's helpers on the mountain. After a fight, Xu Shangshu died. My prince escaped danger with the protection of his guards and was able to capture Xue Tao."

As he spoke, Shen Xuanheng winked at Xue Tao, who understood immediately. She crossed her hands behind her back, pretending that her hands were tied, and then cursed, "If I hadn't made a mistake in my chess game, you would have been killed by my sword long ago."

The commander of the patrol camp was horrified and asked quickly, "What? Minister Xu is dead?"

Shen Xuanheng sighed with regret, "What a pity, the pillar of the country died here."

Yinhuan was furious when she heard this and was about to blame Xue Tao, but Su Xuqing stepped on her foot and said, "There is no danger on the mountain now. The brothers in the patrol camp will clean up the mess on the mountain."

The commander-in-chief of the patrol camp had dark skin and a tense expression.

"As it should be, but the death of the Shangshu is a huge case, and the emperor..."

"It's not worth the commander-in-chief's concern." Shen Xuanheng said weakly, "I will write a memorial to the palace to explain the cause and effect clearly."

Seeing Shen Xuanheng's pale face and weak voice, the commander-in-chief couldn't help but ask, "What happened to His Royal Highness? Is he injured?"

"Nothing, it's all right now."

The commander nodded, then looked at Xue Tao, "Since this man is the culprit, why don't you hand him over to my patrol battalion to take him back to the capital, and then put him in jail to await his fate."

Xue Tao's face turned pale when he heard this. To murder Xu Younian was a serious crime, and he was afraid that he would die...

But after a brief moment of fear, Xue Tao felt relieved. As the owner of the Blood-Clothed Tower, she had killed countless people, and it was only right that she should die.

Moreover, being able to clear Madam and the Prince from this matter can be considered as making up for Madam.

"No need."

Shen Xuanheng looked at the commander-in-chief and spoke slowly, "Xue Tao assassinated my wife, and the reason is still unknown. This time I will take her back for interrogation, and then hand her over to the court for punishment."

"This……"

The commander-in-chief looked hesitant, "Isn't this against the rules?"

Shen Xuanheng's eyes turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "If it weren't for the fact that the King of Zhennan had defended the southern border for generations to resist foreign invasion, you would have the opportunity to stand here and talk to this prince about the rules."

The commander-in-chief's expression changed, and he quickly apologized with a smile, "Your Highness, calm down. You can take the person away."

As soon as the voice fell, the commander-in-chief ordered in a deep voice: "Come here, escort His Royal Highness back to the palace, and the rest of you follow me up the mountain to clean up the mess."

Xue Tao looked at Shen Xuanheng in a daze, not understanding why he wanted to take her away so forcefully... How could this death not be a death?

The people split into two groups and left.

On the way back in the carriage, Shen Xuanheng lay in Su Xuqing's arms, looking into her watery eyes.

"Why did you come to Chaomu Mountain? I heard that Xu Younian sent someone to assassinate you, and I was still worried..."

Su Xuqing curled her lips upon hearing this, "I saw through those two stupid assassins as soon as they left the city... By the way, where are those two people?"

As she spoke, Su Xuqing opened the car curtain, looked at Yinhuan who was sitting outside the car, and asked the two killers named Zhu.

Yinhuan slapped his head and quickly asked the patrol camp to change their destination and look for people in the woods. However, when they arrived, the Zhu father and son were already dead, and the blood was still wet.

Seeing this scene, Shen Xuanheng and Su Xuqing looked at each other in shock and confusion.

Someone actually got there before them and killed these two people, but Xu Younian is dead now. Who would want to kill them to silence them?

Could it be that Xu Younian has other accomplices?

Thinking of this, Shen Xuanheng's expression became more solemn. After thinking about it, he still couldn't understand who would work with Xu Younian to set up a plan to kill Su Xuqing.
