The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

On the moat, everyone was running in one direction. Yang Qi looked at everyone and saw that their target was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

However, even in such an embarrassing scene, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still so eye-catching and dealt with the assassins around him as quickly as possible.

Raise your hand, attack, and kill with one move.

Looking around, the Fifth Prince really spent a lot of money this time. It seems that the last time, the Crown Prince was covered in wounds, it was also because of the Fifth Prince.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had made proper arrangements, and although this assassination was thrilling, it was also necessary to make the power of the Yuan Ruiyin court visible to him.

Assassins came one after another, those hiding on the lighthouses and those deployed in the moat, all attacked in rounds according to the previously set rhythm.

Even though Yuan Ruiyuan was an expert in martial arts, he suffered dozens of wounds in the bloody fight with the assassins, and his heart grew colder.

The poisonous scorpion in Yuan Ruiyin's hand had been severely damaged by himself. How could he find such a powerful assassin now? He was afraid that many of these assassins in front of him were loyal to his father.

The resentment accumulated over the past decade suddenly surged up from his heart, turning the Crown Prince's neck and face red. It was like a bomb exploded in his heart, radiating a force from his heart throughout his body, causing all the blood vessels in his body to burst.

After quickly dealing with the new wave of assassins, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes turned red with anger.

At this moment, a cold arrow flew accurately towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Yang Qi was the first to discover the potential crossbowman: "Be careful." These words used up all of Yang Qi's strength.

I don’t know whether it was Yang Qi’s reminder that worked for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sensed the danger, but he turned sideways and the arrow missed his shoulder.

Yang Qi patted his chest: "It's okay, it's okay."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went in search of the sound. It was her! Yuan Ruiyuan quickly found Yang Qi among the crowd on the shore. Or rather, Yang Qi's worried look stood out in the chaos.

For some reason, the resentment that had just surged in the Crown Prince's heart gradually dissipated. He shook his head and thought, fortunately, he almost went crazy.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked carefully at the shore and found that just as he had predicted, his fourth brother was going to take advantage of the rebellion to make things worse.

Yang Qi stared at the Crown Prince on the light boat, his eyes fixed on him. Crown Prince, my dear Crown Prince, you can't end your precious life here, I still count on you to fight against the Nian family.

Instantly, His Royal Highness smiled at Yang Qi, a faint smile that seemed particularly abrupt in the blood. Was His Royal Highness worried about scaring himself? In this kind of scene, he could still be happy.

As if to support the happiness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's guards finally arrived. They quickly approached the assassins via the boats on the shore and eliminated the remaining forces.

After all the assassins were captured, Yuan Ruiyuan felt his legs were particularly weak and he just wanted to sit down and rest for a while.

Following his long-standing education as a nobleman, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found a stool that was not completely broken on the dilapidated lighthouse and sat down to rest.

This time, His Royal Highness brought Pei Er with him to lure the snake out of its hole. After counting the number of people, Pei Er whispered to His Royal Highness, "Your Highness, five people died this time, twelve were seriously injured, and the rest were more or less slightly injured."

Yuan Ruiyuan nodded: "Give the dead brothers a proper burial." Pei'er will be able to handle the rest of the things.

After Yuan Ruiyuan secured victory, the Jingzhao government officials arrived in a leisurely manner to maintain order.

Yang Qi never looked away, and saw that the Crown Prince had stabilized the situation: "Brother, the situation has stabilized."

Ever since the last time they met at Jishi Bookstore, Yang Qing had remembered the appearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and noticed at the first moment that the target of this assassination was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

Under the maintenance of Yuan Ruiyuan's guards and Jingzhao Yamen, the order on both sides of the moat has been basically stabilized. Yang Qing was worried that there might be subsequent inspections, so he took Yang Qi and his party to wait in the nearest restaurant.

Although it was chaotic just now, Yang Qing heard very clearly Yang Qi's call to be careful. There are so many people here, so she will have to ask about it after returning home.

Yang Qi knew very well that he had revealed his true colors in the panic just now, but he had an easy excuse. He saw the silver arrow flying by and was so scared that he inadvertently shouted to be careful.

The restaurant chosen by Yang Qing and his group was getting more and more crowded. It seemed that everyone had the same idea. Firstly, they were worried that there would be chaos later, so they wanted to avoid it first. Secondly, it was also to cooperate with the subsequent investigation of the nobles.

Of course, most people didn’t know what happened, nor did they know who was assassinated today, but since the commotion was so big, they could more or less guess that it was related to the nobleman above.

Yang Qing protected Yang Yao and Yang Qi behind him and said to the servant beside him, "Go and find out what happened."

Now that the matter has become so serious, the servant was able to get the news quickly and immediately returned to the restaurant: "Master, the Crown Prince was assassinated."

Yang Qing and Yang Lan already knew about this matter, but Yang Qing's face was still very ugly. If she had known that such a big thing would happen today, she would not have come out to join in the fun: "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince okay?"

The servant shook his head: "I can't find out the specific situation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can still issue orders, so I think there won't be any problems."

Yang Qi interrupted at this time and asked, "Did the assassin capture anyone alive?"

The servant nodded: "Just now, people outside were saying that the assassin has been caught."

Hearing this, Yang Qi fell into deep thought. Why was it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was in the light boat this time? He knew that many people in the capital were eyeing him covetously. What exactly did he want to do with this? Lure the snake out of its hole? But weren't the most hidden ones of those poisonous snakes discovered?

Or who does Yuan Ruiyuan want to blame for this assassination? This time, the assassination of Yuan Ruiyuan caused such a big fuss that the emperor couldn't suppress it even if he wanted to. Besides, Yuan Ruiyuan is not just a bunch of idiots. This time, he will definitely take control of the investigation. So which thorn in his side does Yuan Ruiyuan want to remove?

Yang Qing thought carefully and said, "It seems that there will be another disturbance in the capital." Now in the court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince are competing with each other. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has powerful relatives, while His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is deeply favored by the Emperor, and the power of the Nian family in the court is growing.

Now that the disputes in the court are so intense, Yang Qing still can't help sighing: Fortunately, I haven't entered the officialdom yet, and my father and uncle are both serving in other places, so even if there is a turmoil in the capital now, it will not implicate them.
