If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

The entire street was empty, with only two groups of people fighting.

Ruan Yilang kept Fu Jinyi by his side all the time, and the assassin couldn't touch him at all.

Several more men in black appeared nearby.

In addition to the secret guards sent by Queen Ruan to protect Fu Jinyi, Lu Yuan's men were also watching in secret.

The streets were almost flooded with blood.

Those assassins seemed to be insensitive to pain. Even though they were injured, they still rushed towards Fu Jinyi.

Da da--

The sound of horse hooves came from afar.

"Who dares to kill people in Shangjing City?" A young man riding on a horse appeared with a silver spear in his hand.

The eldest prince did not expect to encounter such an outrageous assassination on his first day back in Shangjing City.

"stop!"

Neither side took him seriously at all.

Someone even shot a hidden arrow at him.

The eldest prince fired a hidden arrow at the silver spear in his hand, and his expression became even colder.

"They are not assassins from the Yong Dynasty." Lu Yuan had already arrived, and he was also surprised to see the eldest prince here.

"Capture all those fighting." He ordered the Tiqi following behind him.

The eldest prince raised his eyebrows, "Lu Yuan!"

"Your Highness, I hope you are well." Lu Yuan bowed.

"What's going on? Someone actually dared to kill someone right under your nose. It shows that they don't take your Pacification Office seriously." said the eldest prince.

Lu Yuan sneered: "Indeed."

As soon as he finished speaking, two assassins came towards him with knives raised and slashed at Lu Yuan.

"Brother!" Fu Jinyi exclaimed.

Lu Yuan and the eldest prince killed one each.

The eldest prince: "It seems that he wants to kill you too."

"Brother, are you okay?" Fu Jinyi asked anxiously.

"I'm fine, don't come over." Lu Yuan frowned and protected Fu Jinyi behind him.

The eldest prince raised his eyebrows and looked at him, Brother?

Guan Jin walked over and said, "Greetings to the Grand Prince, Commander, all the assassins have been captured."

"other people……"

In addition to the assassins, there were also guards who did not belong to their Yong Dynasty. The Zhenfu Division should have also taken them back for questioning.

Lu Yuan raised his eyes to look at Ruan Yilang and saw him nod slightly.

"He is Young Master Ruan's guard. There is no need to take him back." Lu Yuan said.

He turned to look at the eldest prince, "Your Highness, His Majesty is still waiting for you in the palace, please go first."

The eldest prince patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder with a half-smile, "I'll come see you when I leave the palace."

"However, you can't hide such a big scene."

He could see that the assassin was targeting the young man, but it seemed that he wanted to kill Lu Yuan as well.

Lu Yuan protected this young man so much, no one knew who he was.

Anyone who can send out so many assassins must not be a young master from an ordinary family.

Fu Jinyi frowned as he watched the eldest prince mount his horse and leave.

"Brother, have I caused you any trouble?"

Lu Yuan shook his head, "No, there is no disaster."

The assassination was a close call.

Three assassins were also captured.

Ruan Yilang immediately cut off their hands and feet and removed their jaws to prevent them from committing suicide.

"They were the assassins hired by He Zhiyuan. The medicine bags found in their mouths contained a deadly poison that was produced by the He family." Ruan Yilang said.

Lu Yuan's handsome face was covered with frost. He Jingyao wanted to kill him, and He Zhiyuan wanted to kill the prince.

Do this uncle and nephew really think that he will not fight back because he is far away in Yong Dynasty?

It’s a pity that He Jingyao was not killed at the beginning.

"I should go back." Fu Jinyi said in a low voice.

"He Zhiyuan must have discovered that I was not in the East Palace, so he sent out the assassins."

If he stayed here, he would implicate Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan said in a deep voice, "With so many assassins appearing in Yong Dynasty, even if the Pacification Office wants to conceal it, I'm afraid it can't be concealed."

"Then I won't hide it." Fu Jinyi said, "I will follow the envoy into the palace tomorrow and explain it to the Emperor of Yong Dynasty in person."

"No hurry." Lu Yuan said, "Uncle, you accompany Jin Yi home first, I will clean up here first."

"Leave those three assassins to me, too."

Ruan Yilang nodded, his calm eyes concealing murderous intent.

That bastard He Zhiyuan couldn't hold back and attacked the prince after all.

Does the emperor know about this?

Is it true that he can't even tolerate his own son?

My sister has really wasted her life!

……

……

"The eldest prince is back?" Concubine Yao, who was doing needlework, raised her head and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Qing He: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince has just entered the palace and is now in the imperial study."

"You are quite clear-headed." She even asked someone to deliberately leak the news of Concubine Xian's suicide, but he managed to keep his composure.

Lu Heng even went to find him, clearly trying to instigate him to take the opportunity to rebel.

"Your Majesty, does the eldest prince really not know what Concubine Xian and the Gong family have done?" Qing He asked in a low voice.

"I have watched the eldest prince grow up. He was also very caring towards Guangning when he was young." Imperial Concubine Yao whispered, "I believe he is not aware of this, but..."

The virtuous concubine pretended to be gentle, docile and generous for so many years, but she still received a fatal blow.

"If he dares to come back to the capital, I will believe him for once." Concubine Yao said.

"Who should my mother trust?" Guangning walked in from outside the palace. She had lost weight after the long journey.

Concubine Yao smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you to rest more?"

"I miss my mother." Guangning sat down next to Concubine Yao and frowned slightly when he saw the needlework in her hands.

"Why is mother still doing needlework herself? Just let the maids do it, don't hurt your eyes."

Imperial Concubine Yao asked the maid to take it away. "These are socks I made for your father. I like to make small items for your father."

"Guangning, I heard that you brought that girl back home?"

"After all, I've raised her for several months, and I can't bear to let her go." Guangning lowered his eyes and spoke softly.

Concubine Yao felt as if her heart was being stabbed by me.

She had guessed that Guangning might recall those unbearable memories, but Guangning didn't mention a word, so she didn't ask.

Some things are better kept secret than spoken out loud.

As long as Guangning is fine and doesn't commit suicide again, she can agree to anything.

"You and Lu Heng have already divorced and have no relationship anymore." Imperial Concubine Yao said, "The thing that mother regrets most in her life is marrying you to Lu Heng."

In the past, Lu Heng seemed gentle and talented, and was the top scholar at a young age. He was considered the ideal husband. However, he was fickle, cold and heartless, and even dared to send people to assassinate Guangning.

Concubine Yao wished she could capture him, turn him into a bloody clock, and slowly torture him to death.

Otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of the hatred in your heart.

"Mother, I'm fine now." Guangning said.

"Then you should live in the palace these days and talk to your mother," said Concubine Yao.

Guangning said, "I heard that the eldest brother is back. Is that true?"

"Yes, it's in the imperial study." Concubine Yao nodded.

"My eldest brother must be very sad when he knows about Concubine Xian's affairs." Guangning sighed.

Concubine Yao lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. She did not tell Guangning about the collusion between Concubine Xian and Madam Lu.

She hopes Guangning can completely forget about that incident.

I also don't want her to know that the elders who once loved her also hurt her.
