It was dusk, the sun was about to set, the moon was rising, and the sky was illuminated by the fire, looking orange and red.

People who went into the dense forest to hunt came back one after another, some returned empty-handed, while others returned with a rich harvest.

"Girl, the Fifth Prince is back!" Song Lan walked quickly into the tent from outside, her face full of excitement.

"I heard they even hunted a fire fox!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Mu Jin's voice outside the tent, "Greetings, Fifth Prince."

"Is your girl in there?"

Hibiscus nodded as she held the tea.

Cheng Jiuyuan stood up and said, "Come in."

Soon the door curtain was lifted, revealing Chu Heng's handsome face with a smile.

"I heard that Your Highness hunted a fire fox?"

"Yes, this beast is very cunning. I didn't use an arrow for fear of damaging its fur. I waited in the dense forest for nearly two hours before I caught it. I will send it to you after I have dealt with it."

"You spent the whole afternoon just for a fire fox?"

"Didn't you say you've never seen a fire fox?"

Cheng Jiuyuan didn't know what to say for a moment. That was just an excuse of hers. In order to get Chu Heng to leave, the person in the dark would show up.

"Of course I know, but since I came to Yichuan, I can't return empty-handed. I can't hunt too many prey, but luckily I was lucky enough to catch the fire fox."

He said 'can't' catch too much prey, not 'can't catch' too much prey.

It's not that he is incapable of catching prey, he just can't expose his riding and archery abilities.

Although Cheng Jiuyuan didn't know how good his martial arts were, she had seen his lightness skills when he was able to escape death in Loudong and at the Juyue Poetry Meeting.

She always felt that Chu Heng was hiding his strength.

Everyone knew that there were fire foxes in Yichuan, but no one had ever seen them.

That's because fire foxes are difficult to hunt, and you can't just be lucky to catch one, not to mention he hasn't used arrows yet.

This ally of hers is probably not a simple person.

Seeing Cheng Jiuyuan looking at him, Chu Heng smiled gently.

"Let's go, it's very lively outside, we're in for a treat today."

……

Because Cheng Yunge was injured, the carriage moved very slowly and did not return to the prime minister's residence until the hour of Xu.

When Lin heard that Cheng Yunge was injured, she was surprised and then happy.

She went there yesterday dressed up beautifully, and I thought she could get a high position in Yichuan, but I didn't expect her to come back lying down today.

She took a look, said a few polite words and then returned to the main courtyard.

Cheng Yunge lay on the bed, discussing with the system how to complete the task, and fell asleep unknowingly.

At midnight, the moonlight disappeared and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was silent.

Cheng Yunge was having a sound dream when he suddenly heard a mechanical sound in his mind.

"Host, there's someone."

Cheng Yunge opened her eyes in a daze and saw a dark shadow rushing towards her. She instantly cleared her mind and rolled onto the bed, feeling a sharp pain in her hand.

She immediately shouted for help: "Come quickly! Catch the assassin!"

The black shadow did not hesitate and continued to slash at her with the knife.

Cheng Yunge also had some experience. She grabbed the quilt and threw it at the black shadow, then took the opportunity to run off the bed from the end of the bed.

He immediately ran out while calling for help, and the black shadow chased after him with a knife.

Such a loud noise had already alarmed the guards and servants. The lights in the room and the yard were lit one after another, and the whole prime minister's mansion became bustling.

The man in black had good kung fu and was very familiar with the Prime Minister's Mansion. He could catch up with Cheng Yunge no matter where he went.

Cheng Yunge grabbed a maid to block the knife and immediately ran to the main courtyard.

All the people left by Cheng Zongyang stayed in the main courtyard, which was the safest place.

"Mother, help!" Cheng Yunge covered his arm and ran towards the main courtyard.

Lin was sleeping soundly when she heard a commotion outside.

The lights outside came on one by one.

"what happened?"

Nanny Wang came in hurriedly: "Madam, please don't go out. There is an assassin in the mansion."

Not long after, a servant came in to report: "Madam, the assassin has been caught. The eldest girl's arm was chopped by the assassin, and a maid also died."

Lin and Nanny Wang looked at each other.

"I'd better go and take a look."

Lin put on her clothes and left the room.

Cheng Yunge was seen sitting down in the yard. His hand, which was already wounded by an arrow, was slashed by the assassin, further damaging it.

The assassin dressed in black was being escorted by the guards, growling like a trapped beast.

"Let me go! I'm going to kill this bitch!"

The sound surprised everyone present.

"Tear off his veil!"

The guard moved his hand, the veil fell off, and an ugly burned face appeared in front of everyone.

Cheng Yunge shouted: "Brother? Why is it you?!"

"Bitch! I'm going to kill you, bitch!" Cheng Changchuan kept struggling towards Cheng Yunge, his eyes bloodshot.

Lin was also confused. Didn't the two siblings always have a good relationship? How did they become enemies?

"Young Master, shouldn't you be on your way to Gusu right now?"

Cheng Yunge felt guilty for a moment.

Cheng Changchuan refused to listen to anything at this moment and kept shouting that he wanted to kill Cheng Yunge.

Cheng Yunge gritted his teeth. This piece of trash, he asked him to kill Cheng Jiuyuan, but he actually came to kill her. Did he take the wrong medicine?

She looked at Cheng Changchuan with a sad face: "Brother, how did you become like this?"

"Bitch! It's you who brought me to this point! You are the boss behind Changtian Tower, and you tricked me into writing my name on the title deed! Were you the one who spread those rumors too?"

"You are jealous that my father and aunt value me. You disregard the relationship between brothers and sisters and harm me to this point! You are a vile bitch!"

The servants in the mansion all looked as if they were struck by lightning, and looked at Cheng Yunge in shock.

The eldest girl is the owner of Changtian Tower?

What is Changtian Tower? It's a prostitute's house!

Seeing everyone's strange and suspicious eyes falling on him, Cheng Yunge immediately retorted: "Brother, now that things have come to this, you still want me to take the blame for you! From childhood to adulthood, how many punishments and scoldings have I suffered for you? Although I am also heartbroken about your experience, you can't slander me like this. This time, I can't help you!"

Cheng Changchuan let out an angry roar, and a burst of strength burst out of his body. He actually broke free from the guards' grip and rushed towards Cheng Yunge.

Cheng Yunge reacted quickly and hid behind Lin.

"Ma'am, be careful!"

"Stop him quickly!"

When Cheng Changchuan was about to rush over, the captain of the guards grabbed him and pressed him back to the ground.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin calmed down with lingering fear, turned around and slapped Cheng Yunge without hesitation.

"Mother!" Cheng Yunge covered her face.

She had just covered the wound with her uninjured hand, and now she used this hand to cover her face, which was covered in blood.

Under the light of the night and with Cheng Changchuan's identification, Cheng Yun Ge looked particularly terrifying at this moment.

All the servants in the mansion felt a chill in their hearts when they saw this scene.

In the past, they all thought that the girl was beautiful and kind-hearted, but now it seems that all those things were hypocrisy.

Especially the servants in her yard, they were trembling with fear.

They saw with their own eyes the girl who had always said "everyone is equal" use Dingxiang to block the knife, and Dingxiang died unjustly.

"What is the eldest lady thinking? She actually hides behind Madam!" Nanny Wang supported Lin, her face also cold.

Cheng Yunge felt it was a pity. If Lin had a miscarriage due to Cheng Changchuan's accident, Cheng Changchuan would be in trouble. This would solve two problems at once.

"I, I was just scared by my brother..." Cheng Yunge's face showed grievance and innocence.

Lin didn't believe her lies, "Miss, the eldest master said that Changtian Tower is related to you, what do you say?"

"Mother, my elder brother is looking for a scapegoat! How dare I, a girl in the boudoir, do such a thing?"

Cheng Changchuan had his face pressed to the ground, but he continued to struggle.

"Bitch! Do you think you did it perfectly? Just wait, when I see my father, I will let him see your true face!"

Cheng Yunge looked at Cheng Changchuan with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Lin ordered: "Take the person away and keep him under good care until the Prime Minister comes back."

The guards took Cheng Changchuan away, and then Lin sent someone to find the palace doctor.

She turned and looked at Cheng Yunge, sizing her up for a long moment.

If what Cheng Changchuan said was true, she was horrible.

Cheng Changchuan was her biological brother, yet she could destroy him without making a single move. She was only ten years old at that time!

"You should also go back to your room and let the court doctor treat your wounds."

Cheng Yunge then felt the pain and numbness in her arms. She bowed and said, "Yes, Yunge, I'll take my leave."

Looking at Cheng Yunge's back, Lin whispered, "What kind of person is she?"

Nanny Wang also looked at Cheng Yunge's back and said disdainfully, "A person like Zhou can give birth to nothing good. Equality and compassion for all living beings? Pah! How vicious her mind was just now."

Lin stroked her abdomen and became more wary of Cheng Yunge.
