Su Liangdi drank her tea as if she hadn't seen them talking.

The wild geese flew south and said nothing more.

Soon, someone came to report that the play was about to begin.

Sure enough, after a short while, the gongs and drums began to sound. It was indeed more impressive here than the operas in the capital.

The first act is usually a lively performance, meant to warm up the atmosphere.

A group of young actors went on stage and tumbled around, playing the role of little demons.

It was a famous play about a general capturing a demon.

After a lively discussion, Shu Chengfeng also gave gifts.

The second act is a scene of characters donning armor and going into battle, and it is also a famous play.

However, Yan Nangui's gaze was fixed on the people below.

She barely glanced at the stage, preoccupied with watching the people below.

It seems a good show is about to begin.

Just as the play was at its most exciting, a poisoned arrow was suddenly shot from behind the curtain on the side where the general was about to appear.

Someone immediately exclaimed in surprise, but one of the actors on the stage threw the spear in his hand into the crowd.

The poisoned arrow came straight at Shu Chengfeng, but he leaped up, slapping the railing with one hand. With a clang, his folding fan deflected the arrow. Naturally, the fan was also destroyed.

"Your Highness!" Ding Min and Wei Xiao rushed up, and the entire Hundred Plays Pavilion was instantly surrounded by guards.

Just then, a curse was heard: "Shu Chengfeng, the dog prince of the Yan Dynasty, prepare to die!"

Then, seven or eight fearless men rushed out from behind the stage.

He was tall and strong, clearly not from the Central Plains.

They shouted chants that no one could understand as they fought the guards, clearly intending to die together.

Just then, guards rushed out to call for help, shouting, "The Tuotuo people are lying in ambush at the Hundred Plays Pavilion, trying to assassinate the Crown Prince!"

Even if seven or eight Tuotuo people are powerful, they can't withstand a fight, so there's no need to ask for help.

It's simply to let people know.

Soon, when the Imperial Guards and local infantry rushed in, the Tuotuo people had already been captured.

At that moment, another of the prince's guards rushed out shouting, "The Tuotuo people who attempted to assassinate the prince have been captured alive!"

Soon, the entire Chengzhou knew that the Crown Prince had been assassinated by a Tuotuo man, but the Crown Prince was brave and had been captured unharmed.

With a complicated expression, Shangguan Ba ​​ordered the seven or eight Tuotuo people to be taken away, then came over and asked, "Is Your Highness alright?"

"It's alright, I was just startled. These Tartars are really insolent!" Shu Chengfeng said.

"Lord Shangguan, please go back first. I will send them back and then report to my father. However, Chengzhou is not peaceful, so we still need to search it. Ding Min, you will go with Lord Shangguan."

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys!" Ding Min replied with exceptional fluency.

Shangguan Ba ​​glanced at Ding Min again, but said nothing.

Su Liangdi has not been born yet, nor has she made a sound.

Yan Nangui was the same; they all knew what was going on. They were just putting on an act today.

So when she returned, Yan Nangui gave Shu Chengfeng a half-smile.

Shu Chengfeng found it somewhat amusing, thinking that it would be a waste for her to wear such a nice outfit if he talked to her again that night.

On the way back to the palace, the crown prince rode in a carriage.

Wei Xiao also got into the car and whispered, "They never expected that the person who made contact with the Tuotuo people would dare to betray them at the last minute. Now that person is dead, there's no way to verify anything. This time, they've come up empty-handed."

"He's really impatient," Shu Chengfeng sneered.

"Your Highness, this matter..." Wei Xiao felt uneasy. Could the imperial family father and son really go to such lengths?

"No rush, we've only just begun," Shu Chengfeng smiled.

The father and son had only been at war for a few years.

Shangguan Ba ​​went to see Shu Zhongjing first, but Shu Zhongjing just waved his hand and said, "Now that you've caught him, interrogate him properly."

Shangguan Ba ​​had something to say, but he didn't dare to say it. He could only pretend he knew nothing and leave.

"Is this what you mean by 'absolutely foolproof'?" Shu Zhongjing suddenly asked.

The three people inside the room all knelt down.

One was the eunuch Xiang, another was the bodyguard Yu Qi, and the third was the bodyguard Du Tao.

Du Tao crawled a few steps on his knees: "Your subject is guilty."

"Well, he's really capable. It seems the person you hired has turned against you." Shu Zhongjing took a deep breath: "Get up."

He couldn't lose his composure; the Crown Prince would be here soon.

Since things had come to this, he could only give up his thoughts. It hadn't worked this time, but there would be another time.

When Shu Chengfeng arrived, Shu Zhongjing indeed greeted him for a few moments and then simply entrusted him with the task of finding the assassin and the Tuotuo people.

Shu Chengfeng accepted the order and left the palace to search the entire city.

He returned at night and had a meal with Yan Nangui.

"Your Highness isn't going to enlighten me? I've just been made a puppet for Your Highness for nothing." Yan Nangui sat down in his lap without any ceremony.

Shu Chengfeng smiled and said, "With your intelligence, how could you not have thought of that?"

"Is what I think correct? I'm thinking that someone is trying to frame the Crown Prince for treason?" Yan Nangui said casually.

After she finished speaking, she was stunned by the look in Shu Chengfeng's eyes.

"...Really?"

"Is it the Second Prince? The Third Prince? The Cao family?" Yan Nangui was utterly speechless: "It can't be His Majesty, can it?"

Shu Chengfeng didn't speak, he just looked at her.

Yan Nangui took a deep breath: "I'm convinced."

She wanted to say "awesome".

She leaned back, reached out and removed Shu Chengfeng's hair ornament, letting his hair down and twirling a strand around it: "So Your Highness has moved the plan forward? When we went to the theater, those Tuotuo people shouldn't have arrived yet, right? They were definitely here to assassinate you. But someone secretly informed them?"

"No, it wasn't this group that was supposed to come. Two of them were killed by my men." Those two were the leaders of this group.

If they were alive, they would appear in another form.

Before they were arrested, they would also reveal that they had come to secretly meet with the Crown Prince.

They were all suicide squad members; the only difference was that those below only knew how to kill the crown prince.

Those in higher positions are more cunning; they know how to sow discord.

The person who relayed the message to these Tuotuo people had been saved by Shu Chengfeng two years ago.

That person has now gone far away and will never reappear unless found.

But what he found would definitely not be a living person. He was confident of that.

"Heh. He'd even resort to treason to kill you. You think this emperor loves his youngest son? I just don't believe it," Yan Nangui asked.

Shu Chengfeng didn't say anything, just smiled and put his arm around her: "The plays here aren't very good. When we get back, I'll take you to see a play. We'll watch it properly this time, and that's all."

"You should make fewer promises. Sometimes, making too many promises can backfire. That wouldn't be good." Yan Nangui continued to play with his hair indifferently.

Shu Chengfeng smiled, his chest heaving, and simply picked her up in that position: "Then let's not make any promises. How about I do something practical to comfort Tang'er after being frightened today?"

God's frightened, it's probably about to be fertilized.
