Su Mengyan clenched her teeth to keep herself from losing control. Her back was against the door, her eyes fixed on Leng Yan.
"Who are you?"
Leng Yan glanced in the direction of Su Mengyan, but without saying a word, he rushed towards her.
Su Mengyan was so scared that she closed her eyes immediately, thinking that she might die here, but she didn't expect to hear a "ding-dong" sound, and the knife in Leng Yan's hand was directly picked up and flew away.
Leng Yan didn't seem to expect that his knife would fly out directly. He raised his head and looked over, and saw a group of people dressed as secret guards rushing in.
Su Mengyan recognized the attire of these secret guards; they were Situ Yao's men.
Her tense heart immediately relaxed, her body softened, and she fell into the corner of the wall.
After Ah Heng ran out of the door, he shouted for help, which immediately attracted Situ Yao's men, who saved Su Mengyan at the critical moment.
"Sister Mengyan, how are you?"
Ah Heng quickly came to Su Mengyan, but saw that she was covered in cold sweat, with her eyes tightly closed, and seemed to be in great pain.
He was a little panicked at the moment and shook Su Mengyan but there was no response.
Seeing that more and more guards were coming, Leng Yan knew that he couldn't stay any longer, so he found the right opportunity and jumped out of the window.
When the secret guards saw the person escaping, some of them went to chase him, while the others stayed and observed Su Mengyan's condition.
Ah Heng didn't know who these people were, so he could only stand aside, at a loss. Seeing that they seemed to be taking Su Mengyan away, he hurriedly spoke.
The secret guards glanced at Ah Heng, then carried Su Mengyan on their backs.
"Where are you taking Sister Mengyan?"
Several secret guards looked at each other, and then looked at Ah Heng who was standing aside holding a stick.
He seemed very frightened.
But because Su Mengyan was in their hands, they gritted their teeth and stood up.
Qingqing and Wenwen were also woken up. At this time, they were hiding behind Ah Heng, hugging his waist, and looking at Su Mengyan with worry.
"Let Sister Mengyan go!"
Ah Heng yelled, wanting to rescue Su Mengyan. He closed his eyes and rushed over with a stick in hand, making the secret guards laugh and cry. He directly pushed the person's head out with his bare hands.
"Boss, what should we do with this kid?"
He tilted his head and looked at the other man in black. The man glanced at the three children and then waved his hand, "Take them back."
Before Ah Heng could react, he was lifted up by the scruff of his neck.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
He struggled and made loud noises, trying to sneak attack the secret guard several times, but was seen through and escaped every time.
"Boy, we are not bad people."
When the man in black passed by Ah Heng, he turned his head to glance at him and walked straight out.
Situ Yao has made some progress in his investigation recently. He is sorting files in his room, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, looking very serious.
Just as he lowered his head and looked at the file carefully, there were sudden two knocks on the door.
Situ Yao turned around and looked over. "What's the matter?"
"Master, Miss Su has been found."
When Situ Yao heard that Su Mengyan had been found, he put down the file in his hand and raised his eyebrows.
"Where is she? I'll go see her."
The man in black hesitated for a moment before speaking, "It seems that Miss Su was assassinated. Her arm was scratched. I just checked it and it's not poisoned. She must have been frightened."
When Situ Yao heard that Su Mengyan was assassinated, his brows furrowed. "Did she offend someone? Why did they assassinate her?"
The man in black shook his head and said, "I brought back three children with Miss Su. Master, please take a look..."
Three children?
Situ Yao raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't say anything, it was clear from his anxious actions that he wanted to get to Su Mengyan immediately.
"Go down and check what the three kids are up to."
He ordered the man in black to investigate the three children, then he walked out of the room and headed towards Su Mengyan's yard.
Ah Heng and Wenwen Qingqing were standing by Su Mengyan's side. The two little girls seemed very scared and kept holding on to Ah Heng's clothes tightly.
Ah Heng tilted his head to look at the two little girls, then comforted them softly.
"Don't worry, Sister Mengyan will be fine. Didn't those doctors check her out just now? They said she was just scratched."
The imperial physician standing nearby looked unhappy when he heard Ah Heng calling him "doctor" directly.
But although he was dissatisfied, he did not express it.
If these three children were scared and cried, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angered, it would be a crime.
Just as he was thinking, the door of the house was pushed open.
Situ Yao walked in.
The three children looked over when they heard the sound, with fear in their eyes.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The imperial physician saluted directly to Situ Yao. Situ Yao looked over, nodded, then went straight to Su Mengyan and held her hand.
"How is her injury?"
Upon hearing this, the imperial physician hurriedly spoke, "Your Highness, Little Lady Su is fine. She just had a little shock and will wake up soon."
After hearing this, Situ Yao felt relieved and nodded.
Ah Heng stood aside blankly, looking at Situ Yao, his face full of bewilderment, "Are you the prince?"
Situ Yao came back to his senses upon hearing the voice and turned around.
The dark face caused by Su Mengyan's injury almost scared Qingqing and Wenwen to tears.
Ah Heng sensed the fear of the two little girls and took a step back to protect them.
Situ Yao looked at Ah Heng staring at him intently and raised his eyebrows.
The man in black was very fast and had already told him the information about the three children.
They said that they were three little beggars picked up by Su Mengyan from outside.
After listening to what he said, Situ Yao nodded.
Ah Heng looked at the two people who seemed to be talking about something, and his face became nervous as he looked over with great caution.
"I am her husband."
Situ Yao glanced at Ah Heng, then slowly said this sentence.
Ah Heng was frightened and looked at Situ Yao with wide eyes.
Sister Mengyan’s husband is the prince?
Situ Yao didn't comment, then nodded, "She got angry with me a few days ago, so she ran away from my Eastern Palace. I've been sending people to look for her."
Ah Heng's expression gradually became serious, and he tilted his head to look at Su Mengyan.
It seemed as if he was measuring the credibility of Situ Yao's words.
