It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

[Ding! Host, the target person Shang Xingjian appears.] The system's voice sounded at the right time.

Shang Xingjian's information also appeared in Su Wanti's mind.

Shang Xingjian, the eldest prince of Ningguo, was eighteen years old.

He is the first child of Emperor Ning and the Queen, and the prince with the greatest hope of becoming the crown prince.

The eldest prince is extremely doted on by his parents. Because they don't want him to go out and suffer, Emperor Ning has never let him go out to gain experience.

The eldest prince, who had been raised in the palace, was tall and handsome, had learned martial arts and state governance, but he had never been exposed to the suffering of the people and did not know the rules of officialdom.

Therefore, whenever the princes discussed state governance with their ministers, the countermeasures proposed by Shang Xingjian, although reasonable in every word, were unrealistic and difficult to implement.

Shang Xingjian was not an ignorant and useless person. After a few times, he discovered his own problem.

Therefore, he asked his father to let him go out to do work.

Emperor Ning also discovered the problem with the eldest prince. He understood the reason, but he couldn't bear to see his eldest son suffer...

However, there is a saying among the people that drowning a child is like killing him.

If he wanted his most beloved eldest son to take on the responsibility of the world, he should let him go and gain experience.

Only by experiencing the sufferings of the people and the depths of officialdom can the eldest son understand the ways of the world, be down-to-earth, and become a qualified crown prince and then a qualified emperor.

Otherwise, how could he have ascended to the throne?

After figuring it out, Emperor Ning immediately arranged for the eldest prince to go out on business.

He was sent to Luzhou to supervise the river engineering work, to oversee the construction of the dam there and the use of the allocated funds.

Who could have thought that for such a small job that did not involve a lot of interests, someone would arrange assassins to kill Shang Xingjian?

Shang Xingjian himself didn't expect this.

When he was patrolling with officials outside, several assassins suddenly jumped out from the mountain road.

These assassins are highly skilled in martial arts and are well prepared.

He fought desperately with the guards, but was forced to retreat step by step.

Finally, he and his personal guard An Jing fell off the cliff together.

There was lush vegetation at the foot of the cliff, and Shang Xingjian's martial arts skills were so great that he was lucky enough to survive with only some scratches on his body.

But An Jing was not as lucky as him.

While protecting him, An Jing was stabbed several times by the assassin and fell off the cliff while being seriously injured. Now his wounds are bleeding, his face is pale, his consciousness is blurred, and his life is in danger.

Seeing An Jing's situation, Shang Xingjian was extremely anxious. He went to the nearby area to check the situation and find a way out.

The vegetation in the wild was all the same, and it was hard to tell which direction to go. There were no lights from any houses nearby, so Shang Xingjian had no choice but to turn back.

As soon as I came back, I saw a woman pulling aside the branches of the bushes in the dim night and asking An Jing questions.

He was immediately delighted, thinking that the woman wanted to save An Jing.

Unexpectedly, the woman only asked one question and then left, with no intention of saving anyone.

Shang Xingjian became anxious, so he drew his sword and made a threatening gesture.

At this moment, he knew that threatening with force was not a gentleman's act, but facing life and death, he could not care about these things.

"The bamboo basket on your waist is filled with herbs. You are a herbalist, so you should be able to save him! Please save him!"

Shang Xingjian forced himself to remain calm. His voice was deep, but his eyes showed an unconcealable anxiety.

"Sir, how do you know that I won't save him? Why do you have to force me with a sword?" Su Wanti glanced at him.

She is not tall and has a slender figure, but she has a very strong aura.

Her clear eyes glowed with a cold light under the starlight, and her rosy lips were slightly pursed, revealing her inner rebelliousness and stubbornness.

The look from the woman made Shang Xingjian's heart tremble. His intuition told him that this woman was different from the noble ladies he had seen in the capital. She looked very difficult to deal with...

Shang Xingjian collected his thoughts and said, "I saw it all. You just turned around and were about to leave!"

"I was going to call for help. How could a weak woman like me save him? How could I carry him away from this wilderness?" Su Wanti raised her chin slightly and spoke with confidence.

She even raised her slender arms and waved them in front of Shang Xingjian's eyes. "Are you asking me to carry him? Can I carry him?"
