Ye Yun was shocked; he hadn't expected that these assassins were all sent by Su Renyi.
He had just heard Ye Yu say that these assassins were after the princess, and that they were there to take her life, not to capture her.
"Keep a few corpses, dispose of the rest," Xuan Yuanzhan ordered.
Although no tattoo marks were found, the body still needs to be taken back for examination. If anything is found, he can use it as evidence to file a complaint, right?
In short, Su Renyi dared to send assassins to take her life, and he would never let this go!
"Yes," Ye Yun replied immediately.
In fact, they did this even without the prince's orders.
Soon, news came from the guards, and Ye Yun once again acted as the coachman, driving the carriage towards the north of the city.
The secret message from the guards just now said that Su Renyi left through the north gate and headed towards the northern suburbs.
Ye Yu, Ye Xue, Ye Feng, and the other guards also boarded the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Su Xuening looked at Xuan Yuanzhan gratefully, then frowned as she thought of his injuries and said, "Why don't you go back to the Holy Prince's Mansion first, Your Highness? You can send some guards to accompany me, and I will go find my mother myself."
"Do you think I would let you risk your life alone?" Xuan Yuanzhan reached out and gently wiped the moisture from the corner of her lips.
Su Xuening's pretty face immediately turned red. She subconsciously pursed her lips and glanced uncomfortably at the wound on Xuan Yuanzhan's waist.
Xuan Yuanzhan understood her meaning perfectly: "Your medicine is very effective. It was just a minor injury, and now it doesn't hurt at all."
Su Xuening was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by his words.
Even if her medicine is the most potent, it couldn't possibly be this effective!
Despite his injuries, he was still willing to accompany her to rescue her mother, which shows his good intentions.
Knowing she was worried about her mother's safety, Xuan Yuanzhan hugged her and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, Su Renyi has made a move. We will definitely be able to rescue Mother this time."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Su Xuening, with him in her arms, simply gave him her weight and snuggled against his neck again.
This person is really nice; she admits she's fallen for him!
Even though she knew she couldn't, shouldn't, and it wasn't appropriate, her heart still fluttered uncontrollably for him!
They were married and were husband and wife, so their actions were reasonable and legal, but she was no longer a virgin.
She shouldn't have lied to him. She needs to find a chance to talk to him clearly, otherwise he might not treat her as well as he does now. Perhaps all that will remain are harsh words, or even more outrageous behavior!
As Su Xuening thought this, she suddenly felt sad, saddened that their relationship was about to wither before it even blossomed.
Su Xuening gently nuzzled against Xuan Yuanzhan's neck, savoring the warmth she felt.
Maybe after a while, there won't be any left!
Xuanyuan Zhan affectionately kissed her forehead and held her even tighter.
She just kissed him first!
Thinking of this, Xuan Yuanzhan's heart felt as bright as fireworks.
So she probably liked him a little too!
very nice!
It felt like a dream come true that he never dared to dream of, and he was overjoyed beyond words.
Xuan Yuanzhan suddenly remembered that tonight was the night of the full moon, and thinking about what he wanted to do, two little figures popped into his head again, tangled up with conflicting thoughts.
Little Black Man: Oh no, I forgot to check her wrists again. Should I sneak a peek now?
Little White Man: What's with checking your wrists? We almost slipped up before. What if this isn't it? How do you explain it?
Little Black Man: To be honest, take this opportunity to find out the truth about the Cold Pool.
Little White Guy: Are you stupid? She's finally starting to show some interest in you, and if you ask her this, what if she doesn't reciprocate and is still bothered by your past with other women? What are you going to do then? Let her go?
Little Black Man: So we won't investigate this?
Little White Man: With a beauty in my arms, why bother investigating? Whether she's a woman from the Cold Pool or not, she's definitely yours now. Treating her well is the most important thing. Besides, you're already like this; isn't it easy to confirm her identity later?
Little Black Man: So what if it wasn't her? You won't investigate the person anymore? Can you really be at ease knowing that this Love Flower Gu has harmed people?
Little White Guy: What can I do if I'm not at ease? We can't find the person, can we?
Xuan Yuanzhan pursed his lips. It wasn't that he didn't want to investigate, but if it weren't for Su Xuening, there wouldn't be any clues left, so how could he continue the investigation?
Besides, regardless of whether the woman in the cold pool was Su Xuening or not, he and Su Xuening must have consummated their marriage. She was his lawfully wedded princess, and she was the one who saved him. He didn't want to let her down.
So if it weren't for Su Xuening, he really wouldn't want to investigate any further!
As for Su Xuening, Xuan Yuanzhan lowered his eyes and glanced at the person in his arms again.
They've already gone this far, they'll definitely consummate their marriage again in the future. Sooner or later he'll find out if the woman in the cold pool is really her.
If it's her, I hope she doesn't get pregnant!
...
Su Renyi circled around from the north of the city to the west, taking a long detour before finally reaching the bamboo forest at the end of Pinglan Village.
A thin figure secretly followed Su Renyi into the bamboo forest.
Su Renyi had no idea what was going on; he was only focused on getting up the mountain to see Mu Junyu as soon as possible.
Several days had passed since he last left. He had been unable to eat or drink, and wanted to see her every day. However, he couldn't leave the capital so casually, for fear of arousing suspicion. After enduring this for several days, he finally couldn't resist and came over.
Su Renyi moved through the bamboo forest with practiced ease, completely unaware that someone was following him.
However, he was also worried that someone was following him. Even if he hadn't made a special trip to the north of the city before he came, anyone who followed him into the bamboo forest would have been discovered by the guards. It was impossible for anyone to follow him to the wooden house.
Jinzhu secretly followed Su Renyi for a couple of steps, but then noticed something strange about the bamboo forest. She immediately stopped and pretended to gather firewood.
This forest is a bit strange. She probably shouldn't go in any further. However, Su Renyi wouldn't come to such a remote bamboo forest for no reason. The First Madam must be here.
Jinzhu picked up some firewood, turned around, and went down the mountain.
She couldn't save the First Madam alone; she had to go and inform the Young Lady.
The guards in the bamboo forest noticed Jinzhu when she entered the forest. They saw that she had only gathered firewood and was heading down the mountain, and they were hesitating whether to silence her.
"Her Majesty said, it's better to kill the innocent than to let the guilty go free!"
At the leader's command, several guards immediately went to stop Jinzhu.
But before they could kill Jinzhu, they sensed that many people had entered the bamboo forest.
"Oh no! The Marquis is being followed!"
The lead guard suddenly took out a signal flare and launched it into the air.
Su Renyi, who had just arrived on the mountain, was also stunned when he saw the signal flare. He immediately rushed into the wooden house: "Someone is looking for us! Take her away quickly!"
