"I'm fine, don't worry." Xiao Huang's face turned noticeably pale, but he still held Yun Hui in his arms.
[The injury is real.] 06 reported.
[Yeah, but the person is fake.] Lin Su seemed to be controlled, but he actually knew what was going on.
If he was a real assassin, he would not care about the literati and would just kill everyone present so that no news would leak out.
But they didn't, and went straight towards Xiao Huang. Although every sword seemed to be murderous, they avoided the vital points.
Chen Tang is very powerful, but his strength lies in his business skills. His ability to secretly plan something may not be comparable to Xiao Huang, the future emperor in the original world line.
Although Lin Su didn't like him very much, he never looked down on him.
By taking advantage of the situation, he got hold of Chen Tang's handle and made up for the impression he had made in front of Yun Hui.
After all, nothing is more touching than the grace of saving a life.
"What should we do?" Chen Tang winked at Lin Su. Although he was good at martial arts, it was impossible for him to deal with everyone at the same time.
If anyone was really injured at his flower viewing party, I'm afraid all the blame would be placed on the Shen family.
He didn't know why he wanted to ask Lin Su for help when he had no other solution, but he inexplicably had a special confidence in this man in his heart. If he took action, there would be no problem.
Hua Kongque watched eagerly. Of course, Lin Su would not really push him into the fire pit. He took out a pill from his arms and threw it directly into the water cup beside him. Because the action was so quick, no one saw it except Chen Tang.
A faint fragrance wafted from somewhere, mixed with the scent of flowers, which made people feel dizzy. Until the first man holding the sword fell down, Chen Tang was shaky and could not feel the internal force, so Lin Su hugged him and stuffed a pill into his mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth, and the internal force that he had not felt just now returned instantly. When Chen Tang stood up and looked back, he saw that the people who were on the verge of a fight just now had fallen to the ground. Even Xiao Huang was just barely supporting himself with his sword, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Su.
The people present were not unconscious, but everyone's hands and feet were weak. Among the pile of fallen people, only Chen Tang and the other two stood out from the crowd, which inevitably aroused people's suspicion.
"Chentang, what's going on?"
"Could it be you..."
"Of course it's me." Chen Tang extended his hand towards Lin Su and said, "Where's the antidote?"
Lin Su placed a porcelain bottle in his hand and said, "Dissolve it in water, and one sip will detoxify it."
"Then you just stuffed one into me." Chen Tang did as he said, then took the bowl and fed a few mouthfuls to the nearest people. "Just now, the situation was urgent and there were too many assassins. If it weren't for Madam using the secret medicine in time, I really had no other way to keep you safe."
He moved quickly, and the person who had been drugged stood up and helped him feed the medicine. This made the person who had just accused him blush. When he was able to sit up, he bowed and apologized, "It was Mr. Wu who was narrow-minded."
"It's okay." Chen Tang didn't expect them to be grateful, but as long as the dirty water was not thrown on the Shen family, everything would be fine.
"Your Highness." Chen Tang brought the teacup to Xiao Huang, "I'm sorry for offending you just now."
Xiao Huang swallowed the medicine without hesitation. After regaining his strength, he took the teacup, helped Yun Hui up, and fed him the medicine. He said, "If it weren't for your wife's quick thinking, I might not have been injured so lightly. However, we must find out the origin of the assassin today."
"That's natural," Chen Tang said, bowing, "Just don't blame the Shen family."
"I won't blame you. It's not your fault. Even if you didn't protect me well, the fact that you saved me is enough to offset it." Xiao Huang's face was indifferent, and he only showed concern when Yun Hui got up. "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, your wound." Yun Hui still remembered the scene where he blocked the knife for her just now. In addition to concern, he was also a little shocked.
If someone had protected him in this way in his previous life, he would not have died unjustly.
"It's okay, it will be fine after a bandage later. Jingchen, arrange for your people to tie up these assassins." Xiao Huang said.
"I understand." Chen Tang turned around and gave orders.
Although the plan did not go according to his process, Xiao Huang sacrificed himself to protect Yun Hui, so he should not be considered completely cold-hearted.
Maybe he will weaken the power of the Shen family in the future, but it shouldn't cost Shen Tang his life.
Lin Su would sometimes make mistakes in his calculations, so he could discuss and pull that person over from another branch to have a look.
All the assassins were tied up, but fortunately there were no casualties. The scholars had no intention of staying any longer and stood up to say goodbye. Chen Tang could only see them off and send some gold and silver as apologies.
Yun Hui carefully bandaged Xiao Huang's wound and helped him to the tightly bound kidnappers. He asked, "Who sent you?"
The assassins' masks were all removed, and the leader taunted, "Master Shen of Chentang sent us here."
Chen Tang had just returned from seeing off a guest, and when he heard this, the fake smile on his face disappeared without a trace: "You are slandering me. If I wanted to assassinate you, why would I choose today to put the blame on myself?"
"Mr. Shen said that this is called doing the opposite of what is done." The man responded quickly.
If this were to happen, the Shen family would be in trouble. Chen Tang was about to step forward, but Lin Su grabbed him and said, "Your Excellency's counter-measure is quite clever. Assassination is not something you can prove with words. You need to detain and interrogate someone before you can convict them. You can't just accuse them. Assassinating a member of the royal family is a serious crime, but given the relationship between Prince Chen and Shen Tang, you can't sow discord between them at will, Your Highness."
Xiao Huang was in a dilemma, sitting on the high hat rack. Yun Hui frowned and said, "How could he be the one who dies in the pond? He may have been a bit mischievous, but how could he possibly be involved in such a major event..."
Moreover, Yun Hui knew that Chen Tang and Xiao Huang were in the same boat and supported each other a lot. It was he who helped him in time just now. Otherwise, what would be the point of setting up a trap and breaking it himself?
"Zi Yu, there's no need to persuade me anymore. I naturally believe Jing Chen." He waved his hand, and a guard stepped forward and said, "Take these people away and detain them. Interrogate them thoroughly and make sure to find out the real culprit behind this."
"yes."
A team of guards pulled the assassins up and escorted them away. Xiao Huang looked at Lin Su standing nearby and said, "Brother Lin said we'd get together on the day of our wedding, but we didn't expect it to be delayed until today. Today, thanks to Brother Lin's quick wit and eloquence."
"You're welcome. Protecting His Highness is also my responsibility." Lin Su looked at him without giving in.
Although he did not despise this man, he was not necessarily afraid of him.
Just like 06 said: It’s hard to say who will win or lose when comparing those who spend money and those who use cheats.
The author has something to say: Thank you for the money, it’s me, the mine of the silhouette little angel~
