"Alright, if you're scared, come sit over here. You still have your father and brother to protect you, so don't force yourself to grow up too early," Sheng Chuyi said gently, while lightly tugging at Sheng Chuhan's sleeve.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Chuhan immediately scooted closer to her brother like a kitten, then wrapped her arms tightly around his arm, saying in a spoiled tone, "Thank you, brother!"

With tears of emotion in her eyes, she said, "Brother, I'm actually very scared."

This was the first time she had encountered an assassination attempt. Before, she had always stayed in the palace, and when she occasionally left the palace, it was always in the capital. She was followed by a group of people, both openly and secretly, and she had never been in any trouble.

Sheng Chuyi withdrew his hand, patted Sheng Chuhan on the back, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. They can't even get close to the carriage, so don't worry."

Sheng Chuhan calmed down a little, but she was still somewhat shaken. She clung tightly to Sheng Chuyi's clothes, as if that would make her feel safer.

As soon as Sheng Chuyi finished speaking, his personal guard Cheng Qiong stepped forward to report: "Your Highness, Princess, the assassins have all been killed, but the one who was left alive committed suicide. We did not have time to question him. Please forgive us, Your Highness."

Sheng Chuyi frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's not your fault. I doubt we'll get anything out of you anyway. After all, it's under the emperor's nose, and no one is foolish enough to use their power to assassinate us. Let's continue on our way."

Now is not the time to investigate; we must first ensure my sister's safety.

The carriage slowly started moving, but Sheng Chuyi and Sheng Chuhan's emotions remained unsettled for a long time.

This assassination attempt served as a wake-up call for them; things were truly about to change.
