"Daddy~" When Zhezhi saw Fu Huaichu, a big smile appeared on her face. Then she opened her little hands, flew over and hugged Fu Huaichu's legs. Fu Huaichu squatted down and picked her up.

Zhe Ye watched her sister's actions, but her little hand held Su Zhiruan tightly.

Zhezhi let go of Fu Huaichu's legs, turned around and held Su Zhiruan's hand, pulling her and Zheye closer to each other.

By now, the four of them looked like a family.

Many of the guards who had followed Fu Huaichu didn't know why their prince came to pick up a woman with two children.

But when the four of them stood together, all doubts were resolved.

Of the two children, the boy looked almost exactly like Fu Huaichu, and the little girl looked exactly like the woman who came to greet them.

When this family stands together, one can tell, without even saying anything, that they are related by blood.

"Ruan Ruan, get on the carriage," Fu Huaichu asked the driver to bring a stool, and first looked at Su Zhi Ruan, motioning her to get on quickly, "The snow is heavy."

Su Zhiruan did not refuse. She first got into Fu Huaichu's luxurious carriage, then carried the two children up and sat them next to her.

Finally, Fu Huaichu also got on the carriage. After the driver put away the stool, he drove off.

"We bump into each other today while admiring plum blossoms," Su Zhiruan sighed. She saw the small dagger on Zheye's waist fall down, so she bent down and picked it up. "Zhezhi Zheye should wear a hood later, otherwise you will catch a cold."

"Okay." The two children answered in unison.

"I brought some new cloaks. If it's too cold, you can change into them." Fu Huaichu pointed to the place behind him where various things were piled. There were a few cloaks that looked very thick.

The conversation between the four of them at this time was exactly what they would say when a family is traveling together. It was very natural and smooth.

Zheye and Zhezhi felt a little flattered. Although they were small, they were smart and could remember a lot of things.

They originally thought that they would never see their father again, but just before the Chinese New Year this year, they actually got to see their father, and were even able to have their father and mother take them out to appreciate the plum blossoms.

Happiness comes too quickly, catching us off guard.

The carriage sped through the heavy snow, followed by more than a dozen guards on horseback. When the horses' hooves fell, the snow instantly exploded and scattered in all directions.

Most of the plum blossoms outside the capital grow on the sunny side of the hillside or by the ditch. They cannot survive in windy places, so their carriage cannot go down directly at this time, and they have to take a detour to enter the Plum Blossom Valley.

Below the Plum Blossom Valley, there is another steep cliff, but it is rather desolate below, with neither roads nor people.

The detour was quite bumpy, and Zhe Ye's short sword fell again, but this time, he bent down and picked it up himself. After holding it in his hand and examining it for a while, he handed the short sword to Su Zhiruan, "Mom, please hold it for me, or it will fall again."

Su Zhiruan took it and held it in his hand.

Fu Huaichu’s carriage was very large, and you couldn’t tell much from the outside, but if you looked from the inside, you could see its luxury more clearly.

After the carriage went down the mountain road, the road became narrower and narrower.

After opening the curtain, the scenery outside the window is very beautiful. The plum blossoms all over the mountains are beautiful against the snow.

Su Zhiruan was playing with the small folding leaf short sword in her hand. Her eyebrows twitched and she always felt that something might be wrong around her.

At this moment, the guards behind the carriage suddenly cried out, "Your Highness, be careful!"

Fu Huaichu seemed to sense something, and immediately hugged Su Zhiruan's head and asked them to bend down together.

His movements were too fast. At that moment, a cold arrow grazed the top of Su Zhiruan's head and hit the wood behind her.

It is hard to imagine that if she had not lowered her head, the arrow would have hit her at this moment.

"There's an assassin!"

"Hunting down the assassin!!"

Outside the carriage, the guards immediately rode their horses to chase after the assassins, and there was chaos outside the carriage.

At this moment, in the carriage, Su Zhiruan slowly raised her head. Only then did she understand what had just happened.

Zhe Ye and Zhe Zhi were stunned. They all huddled around Su Zhiruan. They saw everything that had just happened with their own eyes.

Just a little bit...they might not have a mother anymore.

"Ruan Ruan, you and Zhe Ye Zhe Zhi stay in the carriage and don't move," Fu Huaichu stood up, took out a crossbow from the box at the back of the carriage, and then jumped off the carriage.

Su Zhiruan pulled out the cold arrow from above her head where she had just been. The cold arrow was shining silver and was black at the very tip.

"Mother, what is this?" Zhezhi pointed at Lengjian and shrank beside her cautiously.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"It's poison." Su Zhiruan frowned. She put the arrow on the ground on the other side, making sure that the folding leaves and branches would not touch it. "Folding branches and leaves, don't touch it."

Seeing her serious expression, the two children knew that this was no small matter, so they nodded at the same time.

At this time, outside the carriage, Fu Huaichu came down with a crossbow in his hand. When several guards saw him, they immediately surrounded him to protect him.

"Your Highness, we just killed a few of them, but a few others ran away." The leading guard came forward to report the situation.

Fu Huaichu frowned and looked up at the sky. Large flakes of snow were falling from the vast sky.

If he were alone, perhaps he would not be so cautious, but at this moment, his wife and children were in the carriage, and he could not only take care of himself, but also protect them.

Fu Huaichu is the crown prince. He has seen countless assassinations and plots since he was a child, but the only one he is afraid of is that group of people.

It was the time when he was accidentally tricked and seriously injured, and with the last bit of consciousness he collapsed in the forest behind Sujia Village.

Even after he returned to the palace and set about eliminating most of the assassins in the organization, there were still some left who continued to attempt assassinations.

And now, Fu Huaichu checked the corpse on the ground, and his brows gradually became solemn.

If he guessed correctly, then it was very likely that this group of people were the remaining killers.

It happened in a flash. Just as he was examining the corpse, there was a whistling sound of wind in the air, and another arrow flew towards his head.

Fu Huaichu dodged and fired the crossbow in his hand in an instant, immediately shooting down the arrow in the air.

Two arrows, one long and one short, fell to the ground at the same time. If you look closely, you can see that both arrows were shot with great force, and even the tips were blunted.

The guards hurriedly followed the direction of the arrow, but found nothing.

Just then——

Su Zhiruan was about to lift the curtain, but found a man in black clothes appeared in front of her. He stared at Su Zhiruan and the two children behind her with a gloomy look. Then, he laughed sinisterly, "I didn't expect that even if Fu Huaichu died, he would have a beautiful woman to be buried with him!" (End of this chapter)
