However, Lu Wan only dared to complain in her heart. Now that Shen Yan was going to the palace to meet the emperor, she naturally didn't need to follow him.
She had already thought of the grief she would feel when she changed her clothes and returned to the backyard.
That search not only revealed that the prince was not there, but she was not even in the palace. Now that they were back together, it was obvious that the relationship between the two was confirmed.
"This dog prince is incompetent at everything he does. He is the best at flattery."
The last time Lu Baixue came to trouble him was because of this dog prince.
Having said that, Lu Wan returned to the backyard helplessly. As expected, upon hearing that the prince had returned, the "little flowers" were already ready to be picked by the prince, and were wandering around outside, trying to attract Shen Yan's attention.
"The princess is back!"
I don't know who shouted, but the scattered crowd in the back garden suddenly gathered together.
"Sister, you're back? Did you encounter any interesting things when you went out with the prince? The sisters are all waiting for you to come back and share them."
Lu Baixue came over and hugged Lu Wan very intimately.
Oh my god, she has goose bumps all over the floor. Why not pick them up and make goose bump soup for you? Who are you pretending to be familiar with? She doesn't buy it.
Lu Wan pushed Lu Baixue's hand away without leaving a trace, not wanting to have any contact with her for even a second.
"Oh, Sister Princess must have a lot of things to do. Sisters, please go away and don't disturb Sister Princess."
Another woman spoke in a sarcastic tone that made people feel very uncomfortable.
Lu Wan suddenly felt that it would be better to let him go out and continue investigating the case than to let him come back to face a group of women.
Although her words were a little sarcastic, Lu Wan pretended not to understand the hidden meaning behind her words.
"This sister is really considerate of me. I will leave now so as not to disturb you from enjoying the flowers and fish."
After Lu Wan finished speaking, he turned and left.
What a joke! As long as she isn't embarrassed, you're the ones who will be embarrassed! "Princess, the prince has summoned you."
A young guard whom Lu Wan had never seen before stopped him.
Although she was a little confused about what could possibly happen when Shen Yan called her over at this critical moment, the two of them still arrived at the designated location as agreed.
But what arrived was not the prince, but a volley of arrows that spread out over a large area, which was impossible to dodge. Moreover, Lu Wanchang didn't even have anything in his hand to resist.
"Don't be afraid, I will come to rescue you right away!"
A voice suddenly appeared in her heart. Lu Wan could tell that the voice belonged to Chen Yan, but he did not make it public. She wanted to see how the guard who brought her here would get out of here.
When Shen Yan arrived, there was actually no danger to his life.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong now. Is this person from our palace?"
The top priority right now is to resolve this incident quickly to prevent it from happening again.
Lu Wan unexpectedly got a positive answer from Shen Yan. This person was indeed from the palace, and was indeed Shen Yan's man.
But according to Shen Yan, this person acted on his own and it had nothing to do with him.
To be honest, Lu Wan didn't believe this explanation at all.
"The prince hasn't entered the palace yet?"
Lu Wan could only awkwardly change the subject. When he came back, he said he was going to the palace, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother to give a death order, requiring him to bring Lu Wan with her.
With no other options, Chen Yan could only turn back to find Lu Wan and then bring her over to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.
"In that case, what are you waiting for? Let's set off right away."
Lu Wan temporarily accepted this explanation. After all, entering the palace was the more important matter now.
Liu You has been following Shen Yan since he came back, like a little follower who can't be driven away.
It's like seeing a fan of their idol.
The palace is located in a remote suburban area, some distance away from the imperial palace.
"Your Highness, be careful!" Liu You's voice had drowned out the sound of the arrows breaking through the air.
Almost without any hesitation, he stood in front of Shen Yan.
Judging from the look of it, if he had the ability to split himself, he would have wanted to wrap up Shen Yan completely.
Several arrows shot into the carriage were deflected by Liu You, and neither Shen Yan nor anyone else was injured. "Be alert!"
Liu You is now acting as Ying, but he did not expect that Ying would suddenly appear at this critical moment.
To be honest, this is not what Lu Wan wants to see. She is now suspicious of Ying. If Ying is here, he can easily control everything.
It was impossible for this assassination to be carried out with just one wave of arrows. More assassins swarmed forward, and it was difficult for the guards outside to stop so many people.
Liu You tried hard to stop the assassin from breaking into the carriage.
But there is no way to stop it completely.
"My Lord, what should we do now?"
Lu Wan frowned, it was almost certain that the Queen Mother was behind this.
The endless stream of assassins forced Shen Yan and the other man to be unable to move forward, and they were about to miss the agreed time.
"Your Highness, it's more important for you to go to the palace first. I can tell the Queen Mother later. I can still hold out for a while on my own."
After Lu Wan finished speaking, he gave way to the carriage and left room for people to jump off.
In fact, they were not far away from the palace. With a normal person's walking speed, it would take about an incense stick of time to get there.
"If I leave you alone, can I still be considered a man?" Okay, the Dog Prince refused.
"No one can escape!" More and more assassins rushed in, and more and more assassins were outside. I don't know what the situation of Ying and Liu You is outside.
Under the current circumstances, the situation outside is probably not optimistic either.
The shadow outside was kneeling on one knee, blood flowing along the knife, his body was covered with splattered blood, and there was a wound on his right shoulder that went all the way to his abdomen.
The injuries looked horrific, and Ying had a hard time standing up.
Liu You rushed into the car and together with Chen Yan and Lu Wan, he dealt with the assassin in the car. Liu You was also covered in wounds at this time. Although his injuries did not look as serious as Ying's, he was also covered in blood.
"Your Highness, please leave quickly!" Liu You blocked the last assassin and protected Shen Yan.
This was not the time to be pretentious, and Shen Yan and Lu Wan immediately jumped out from behind the car.
Even though they were protected, both of them were injured to some extent.
"Could it be the Queen Mother's people?" Lu Wan currently only knew that the Queen Mother was the person on the opposite side.
Shen Yan shook his head, this place already belonged to the imperial palace, the queen mother would not go so far as to kill someone on her own territory.
The two of them did not have enough time to go back home to change clothes before entering the palace. After all, they were summoned by the emperor, although only in name.
"Isn't it impolite to dress like this?" Lu Wan expressed his concern.
"It's better than disobeying the imperial decree." Shen Yan sighed and the two looked at each other.
Lu Wan saw the determination to change all this in his eyes, and Shen Yan also saw determination in Lu Wan's eyes.
