Zhu Wanqing had no choice but to cover her face again and rush out with Yinxiang.

"Let's go. No matter what, we can't let the Fourteenth Prince see our faces," Zhu Wanqing said, gesturing for Yinxiang to quickly put on her veil as well.

"Charge in! I want to see who dares to break in at night. If they've taken the Princess hostage, be careful not to hurt her," Fourteenth said, staring incredulously into the room.

Moments later, two black figures emerged, wielding two gleaming swords. The guards surrounded them, and a fierce battle ensued.

Fourteenth Prince had not seen Wanyan being taken away, nor did he know if there were any assassins inside the house, so he was somewhat at a loss.

Fourteen watched the assassins fighting fiercely with the guards and suddenly felt that their figures were somewhat familiar.

They were all women!

When Fourteen realized that both assassins were women, he became even more suspicious: Who would dare to assassinate his wife at this time?

After a brief struggle, the guards managed to hold off the two assassins without gaining any advantage. Seeing that no one else emerged from the house, Fourteen concluded that it was now empty.

"Go in and see if the Princess Consort is alright. Leave this to me!" After a moment's hesitation, Fourteenth Prince drew his sword and joined the fight.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the guards rushed into Wanyan's room.

"Fujin, Fujin!" the guards shouted as they ran to Wanyan's inner room. They found two pillows on the bed that had been pierced by sharp swords, but no bloodstains.

"I'm here!" Wanyan Shi called out immediately upon hearing the commotion.

Hearing the sound coming from under the bed, the guards quickly lifted it up. Wanyan and her servants then crawled out from under the bed.

Meanwhile, the Fourteenth Prince and the two assassins fought closer and closer. In the end, the Fourteenth Prince grabbed one of them by the arm, locked his throat, and pinned him to his chest.

"You have disappointed me greatly. Why did you do this?" Fourteen said in the ear of the man in black.

Although only two eyes were visible, Fourteen still recognized the owner of the eyes.

"Hurry up and leave!" Fourteen swung his sword again, ostensibly fighting Zhu Wanqing, but actually protecting her from being hit by the other guards.

With Fourteen's deliberate allowance, Zhu Wanqing and Yinxiang took advantage of the chaos to use their light-footed skills to leap over the wall and escape.

"No need to chase after them, let's go check on the Princess Consort first," Fourteenth Brother called out to the guards who were about to give chase.

When Fourteen entered the room, he saw that Wanyan had already returned to bed, and a maid was tucking her in.

"Jinzhi, are you alright?" Fourteen walked a few steps to Wanyan's bedside and asked.

"I'm fine. Have the assassins been caught?" Wanyan's face was pale, because her illness had not yet healed, and this injury naturally made her look even worse.

"They got away. I'm relieved that the Princess Consort is alright," the Fourteenth Prince said, trying to cover up his misunderstanding.

"Is that so? No need to chase after her, I can go directly to ask that bitch. It's her, I recognize her voice! Bitch, she wants my life! If you don't settle things with her soon, I'll go back and ask my mother and father to avenge me!" Wanyan Shi had never suffered such a loss before, and she coughed as she spoke in anger.

Seeing that she was angry, Fourteen was indeed very dissatisfied with Zhu Wanqing's actions, but he deliberately let them go outside just now.

"Take good care of the Fujin (wife), I'll go and get back." Fourteenth Prince knew he had no way to argue at this point, so he could only give this order.
