At this moment, she silently promised in her heart that from now on, Madam Xie would be her close friend regardless of age difference and her confidant. Anyone who dared to bully her would be bullying me, Murong Yu.

But Yun Zhihan simply wanted the princess to protect Xie Boyuan, or at least not let the scorpion demon get too close to her son.

"Miss Murong, did you come out without a guard today?"

"Guardian Jiang is outside."

"I see."

Murong Yu suddenly thought, "On your birthday, I will let Guard Jiang stay by your side with Bai Jin, Madam, don't worry."

Yun Zhihan was overjoyed. These overwhelming guards just showed up as expected?

"Miss Murong, this is inappropriate, isn't it? If the emperor knew about this, would he spare Guard Jiang?"

More importantly, she was afraid that she would be implicated. If the eldest princess's personal guard was abducted, she would not be able to afford to kill him even if she had ten lives.

"It's okay. When I go back today, I will explain it to my father in person."

"If that's the case, then I will respectfully obey your command."

The two chatted for a while and then returned to their respective homes before dark.

……

Xie Mansion.

The three children and Tuoba Hong sat obediently at the door, waiting for her to come back.

Bo Chen originally wanted to go pick up his mother, but Bo Yuan also wanted to go with him. Tuoba Hong disagreed and said that he would go over himself.

The three children naturally disagreed. The exposure of General Tuoba's identity would undoubtedly be a trouble for the Xie family.

So, the four of them remained in a stalemate and agreed that if Yun Zhihan did not return before dark, the two brothers would go to Yunsheng Restaurant to look for their mother.

Fortunately, she came back on time.

As soon as she entered the door, four people ran towards her, and Yun Zhihan was so scared that she thought something had happened in the Marquis' Mansion.

"Mom, you're finally back. If you hadn't asked me to look after my brother, I would have gone to pick you up." Bo Chen complained.

"Okay, it's broad daylight, how can I lose it? Let's go to the study to discuss things."

Besides, she is protected by the system. As long as Tongzi doesn't want the system to crash, she will live well.

study.

"Mrs. Xie, I have already told the three of them what happened last night."

"Thank you, General Tuoba."

"Sure." He volunteered.

"Mom, why was there an assassin at night? How did you know? Why didn't you tell me, but had to tell Uncle Hong?" Bo Chen asked a bunch of questions with a resentful look on his face.

Yun Zhihan was speechless. Could she tell him when he was like this?

"Chen'er, you will listen to Uncle Hong's instructions today. When the dust settles, I will tell you in detail. You are still young and you don't need to know so much."

"Oh, I see." He was not convinced. In the future, he wanted to go to the army and fight in the wars like his father did and protect his mother.

Although Bai Yuan looked calm, he felt guilty, "Mom, has your son caused trouble for the family?"

"Yuan'er, stop talking nonsense. The Zhao family and the Xie family are incompatible. It is only a matter of time before they confront each other head-on."

"Yes, mother, I understand."

Compared to the three men, Bai Jin behaved very calmly, as if it had nothing to do with him, which really made Yun Zhihan curious.

"Jin'er, don't you have any questions for me?"

Bai Jin shook his head and replied, "Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. My daughter will follow your instructions."

After she finished speaking, several people looked at her in unison. Was she too calm? Was this how a sixteen-year-old child should look?

Yun Zhihan was also quite shocked. How could he become so Buddhist after reading "The Art of War"? Shouldn't he be more warlike?

Forget it, I can’t figure it out and don’t think about it anymore. Their family’s lives are more important.

"General Tuoba, you assign the tasks. I am an outsider and don't understand strategy."

"Okay." Tuoba Hong agreed, "Tonight, Bo Chen and I will keep watch, with only one principle. As long as they don't touch the Xie family, we will just sit there and wait."

"Once the other party takes action, no one will be left alive."

"Yes, Master, I know." The demeanor of Bo Chen's soldiers became more and more impressive.

"At night, Madam Xie and Miss Bai Jin should sleep together. It will be easier to take care of them."

"Okay." The two said in unison.

"As for Bo Yuan, stay outside Madam Xie's house and don't let anyone you don't know get close to him."

"Uncle Hong, don't worry."

Afterwards, the three of them went to different courtyards and informed everyone that the court was carrying out an important mission today. From midnight onwards, no one was allowed to leave the house, otherwise their lives would be in danger.

Everyone was so scared that they immediately closed the door and no one dared to go out.

Yun Zhihan was very relieved. Fortunately, these people valued their lives and no one was reckless enough to cause trouble.

Four quarters of an hour ago.

The Xie Mansion was pitch black. A man in black climbed over the wall, looked around, saw that there was no one, and quietly came to the backyard.

At this time, Tuoba Hong and Bo Chen were hiding in the haystack in the backyard, watching him silently.

I saw the man found a place full of flowers and plants, dug it up, and then buried something in it.

The whole action took less than a moment to complete. Seeing that no one noticed, the man quickly left Xie's house.

After everyone had gone far away, Tuoba Hong and Xie Bochen crawled out of the haystack and brushed off the weeds on their bodies.

"Master, do you think this person has discovered us?"

"Of course not." Tuoba Hong explained, "This person is very good at Qinggong, so he should be a secret guard, but his internal strength is a little weak. Although he is alert, his skills are not as good as others."

No matter what, a Minister of Rites has so many experts around him, he must have some ulterior motive.

Bo Chen couldn't think of so much, he dug up the soil and took out the things inside.

"Master, what is this?"

Tuoba Hong took a look and said helplessly, "It's dark, how would I know? Show it to your mother."

"Oh." The two men returned the soil to its original place and came to Yun Zhihan's house.

"Why are you back? Where is the assassin?" She spoke in a very low voice, afraid that others would hear.

"Don't worry, ma'am, the person has already left."

"This is what he put here." Bo Chen handed the evidence to his mother.

Yun Zhihan asked Jin Shang to light a lamp. When the bright light shone over, everyone felt a chill on their backs. It was fortunate that they had discovered it, otherwise it would have been a capital crime.

The assassin placed a white doll in the backyard of Xie's house. The doll had the current emperor's surname and date of birth written on it, and there were needles all around it, as if it was cursing the emperor to death.

For a time, the whole family's admiration for Yun Zhihan reached its peak, especially the three children. Their mother was simply a prophet. If she were not at home, the family would have probably been wiped out long ago.

Even Tuoba Hong, a veteran of the battlefield, felt deeply that she was worthy of being Brother Songlin's wife, smart, wise, decisive, and without any shortcomings.

But Yun Zhihan now only thanks Tongzi, because she saved the Xie family, and her life span increased by 3 years, and she also got a lot of points.

"Mom, what should we do now?" Bai Yuan drew everyone's attention back.

Yun Zhihan didn't hesitate for a moment, borrowed a fire and burned the thing.

"Yuan'er, tomorrow Zhao Tuo will definitely come to investigate the Xie family for various reasons. You should first use courtesy and then force. Finally, act like a grandson in front of the emperor. Do you understand?"
