As soon as Feng Yijun entered the tent, he saw Jiang Ruoli coming out from behind the screen with a grin on her face.

Feng Yijun couldn't help but smile, knowing that it was because of her riding, so he handed her a bottle of safflower oil and a letter.

After seeing the letter, Jiang Ruoli paused.

"Sister Feng, have you thought it through?"

Feng Yijun smiled and nodded.

Just now, she took advantage of her father's absence from the tent and borrowed his pen to write this letter.

As long as Jiang Ci Yan sees this letter, he will understand her intentions.

When Jiang Ruoli saw the smile on Feng Yijun's face, she knew what she was planning.

She was also very happy.

"Don't worry, Sister Feng. I will definitely hand the letter over to Big Brother safely."

I'm sure my brother will be very happy.

Feng Yijun was deeply touched when he saw the roasted rabbit that Jiang Ruoli left for him.

The Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion is truly the best family.

There was not much activity in the paddock late at night, and as her legs and butt were still hurting, Jiang Ruoli lay down early.

However, as she was thinking about the assassin, Jiang Ruoli didn't dare to fall asleep, so she asked Fuguo to use the poetry and books given by the prince during the day to pass the time.

As you can imagine, Jiang Ruoli became more and more sleepy the more she read, and gradually fell asleep leaning against the headboard...

In Emperor Chengren's tent.

It was late at night, but the lights in the tent were still on.

Duke Jiang and Grand Tutor Feng and several other ministers were still reporting on government affairs, while Xiao Yujing and Jiang Ci'an were waiting on the side.

Before the night was over, Jiang Ci'an did not dare to relax. He sat for a while and then stood up to go out on patrol.

When I opened the door curtain of the tent, I happened to see a young eunuch coming in to bring me some tonic soup.

Jiang Ci'an slightly moved aside to make way.

Just as he was about to step out, a white light flashed in Jiang Ci'an's mind.

He immediately turned around and caught up with the young eunuch in two steps.

With a clang, he kicked the soup over, revealing a dagger under the tray.

Jiang Ci'an was shocked.

When the young eunuch lunged forward, he kicked him over, drew out his broadsword and stabbed him in the thigh without hesitation.

"what!"

A scream alarmed the guard outside the door.

The tent was immediately surrounded by soldiers, and Emperor Chengren and the Crown Prince were also protected.

It happened too suddenly.

Fortunately, Jiang Ci'an reacted quickly and did not leave the assassin any chance.

As the scene was in chaos, a palace maid quietly raised her hand behind Emperor Chengren...

A cold light flashed in Xiao Yujing's eyes.

In a flash, Xiao Yujing pulled Emperor Chengren to his side and turned around in an instant.

The dagger in the palace maid's hand just scratched Xiao Yujing's left arm.

Xiao Yujing raised his foot and kicked the palace maid away.

"boom!"

The palace maid bumped into the screen behind her and fell down.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell silent instantly.

Burch went forward to check and touched the side of her neck.

"Your Highness, the person is dead."

Xiao Yujing's martial arts skills are very strong, and he would not be able to survive if he was kicked.

Jiang Ci'an was terrified.

He had been doing defense outside the tent, but he didn't expect the assassin to be hiding next to the emperor...

The eunuch kneeling below saw that his companion was dead, so he bit the poison hidden in his mouth, spurted out a mouthful of black blood, and fell to the ground and died.

Jiang Ci'an stepped forward and bent over to examine the assassin's body.

I never expected to see a familiar mark behind the assassin's ear.

"This is... Lingyunwei?!"

Hearing this name, everyone present was shocked.

Burch also looked behind the maid's ears.

"Your Majesty, this man has it too."

Lingyunwei was the secret guard of the former crown prince.

Many years ago, the former crown prince launched a coup, and the Lingyun guards also died in that massacre.

I didn't expect there were still remnants.

Emperor Chengren was furious and ordered the Dali Temple to do everything possible to investigate Lingyunwei.

Eunuch Wu was surprised and looked at Xiao Yujing, only to find that blood was dripping from the fingers of his left hand.

"Your Highness, your hand!" Eunuch Wu exclaimed.

Xiao Yujing pressed the injured part of his left arm.

"It doesn't matter."

Emperor Chengren saw Xiao Yujing's arm soaked with blood and shouted in a deep voice, "Someone! Call the imperial physician!"

-

A chill came over her and Jiang Ruoli was suddenly awakened from her sleep.

I rubbed my arms and found that I fell asleep without knowing when, and without even covering myself with a blanket.

Thinking of the assassin, Jiang Ruoli shuddered and suddenly came to her senses.

I wonder if the assassin will come again tonight?

Without the Third Prince to block the knife this time, will His Majesty be injured?

Second brother has made sufficient arrangements for the guards this time, so nothing should happen...

Jiang Ruoli quietly turned over and got off the bed, tiptoeing out of the tent.

Slowly lifting the door curtain, Jiang Ruoli looked towards the direction of Emperor Chengren's tent.

I saw a circle of soldiers surrounding the tent, with torches in their hands blazing into the sky.

The tent was also very quiet, and a few figures could be vaguely seen.

There were no other unusual sounds in the entire camp except for the patrolling soldiers.

It looked like nothing was happening.

Jiang Ruoli breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a young eunuch was seen sneaking towards a tent.

That is...Princess Yuyao’s tent!

Jiang Ruoli's heart trembled, and she didn't care about her aching buttocks and thighs, and limped after him.

At this time, Xiao Yuyao had not slept yet. She had ridden a horse a little crazy today, and the palace maid was massaging her legs.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered me to bring you some tonic soup." An eunuch's voice suddenly sounded outside.

It’s so late, and father still asked someone to send her tonic soup?

Xiao Yuyao was somewhat confused, but she didn't think much about it.

She said to the maid beside her, "Go and bring it in."

As he spoke, he put on his clothes.

After a while, I heard the sound of the door curtain being lifted.

Just as Xiao Yuyao was about to turn around, a dagger was placed on her neck.

The cold blade was pressed tightly against his neck, and blood oozed out at the slightest movement.

Xiao Yuyao's face turned pale.

"Who... are you?" Xiao Yuyao was trembling.

"It doesn't matter who I am. As long as you follow me obediently, I will keep you safe."

The eunuch said sinisterly.

"But if you don't behave yourself, this knife may..."

"boom!"

"Well!"

With a muffled sound, the eunuch suddenly lost his strength, loosened the dagger in his hand, and fell straight to the ground face down.

The moment the eunuch fell to the ground, Jiang Ruoli, holding a vase, appeared behind him.

Seeing that the eunuch had fainted, Jiang Ruoli looked around, saw the stone slab on the round table, and walked over to lift it up.

I tried to lift it, but it didn't move.

Ok?

Why is this thing so heavy?

Glancing at Xiao Yuyao who was standing there in a daze, Jiang Ruoli said, "Princess, please come over and lend a hand."

Xiao Yuyao came back to her senses and didn't understand what she was going to do, but she still hurried forward to help.

The two men took great effort to press the stone slab on the eunuch's body.

Just in case, Jiang Ruoli dragged over two big chairs and placed them on him.

In this way, even if the eunuch suddenly woke up, he would not be able to get up for a while.

After finishing all this, Jiang Ruoli pulled Xiao Yuyao out of the tent.

The palace maid had been knocked unconscious by the eunuch and fell to the ground.

Jiang Ruoli originally wanted to send the princess to the emperor's tent, but she was exhausted from all the trouble just now. Besides, her body was still in pain, so she really didn't want to move.

She took two more steps forward to make sure the patrolling guards could see them.

Jiang Ruoli took a deep breath.

Yelled loudly:

"Hurry up! There's an assassin!!!"
