"Guards, protect the emperor!" Liang Jiugong's voice rang out from outside the carriage.
"Liang Jiugong, what happened?"
Liang Jiugong was a man who had seen big scenes and had encountered assassination attempts before. With guards protecting him, he remained relatively calm.
"Your Majesty, there is an assassin."
Yinzhen said to Yunrong, "Don't move in the carriage, I'm going out to take a look."
A carriage isn't necessarily safe, but it's better than going out. After all, swords have no eyes, and while Yinzhen has some martial arts skills, Yunrong is a truly frail woman.
Yunrong wasn't the type to be reckless, but she felt it was safer to get out of the carriage than to sit in it. You see, in period dramas, when people are attacked on the road, the most common thing is that the horse gets spooked, drags the people in the carriage wildly, and finally falls off a cliff.
Although there might not be a cliff for her to fall off, this carriage was definitely not safe.
The reason why Yinzhen said that was definitely because he was worried. He thought the carriage would be safe. After all, although he had been assassinated before, he usually faced the enemy head-on and would never hide in a carriage.
Yunrong: "I'll go down with you. I know you're worried about me getting hurt, but it's definitely not safe in this carriage. Besides, although I'm a bit weak, I'm not someone who falls over easily. I feel more at ease with you."
After Yunrong said that, Yinzhen thought it made sense. If the scene was chaotic, the horses would be easily frightened, so it would be better for Yunrong to go down with her. In the end, the birth would be out of control.
The two men spoke in the blink of an eye, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they heard a loud shout outside: "The dog emperor is out! Where is he?!"
As Yinzhen looked at the people gathering in his direction, he knew they were all coming for him. He said to Liang Jiugong beside him, "Have someone protect the Empress."
Then he took a few guards and prepared to confront the assassin head-on.
Seeing the Emperor's resolute gaze, Liang Jiugong knew he couldn't refuse.
"Your servant obeys the decree."
Yunrong quickly said, "Take care of yourself, I won't let myself get hurt."
"I will."
No one knows how the assassin recognized Yinzhen as the emperor, but he was very accurate. Since they were traveling incognito, the carriages they were riding in all looked the same. There were seven or eight carriages in total. The fact that the assassin could recognize them so accurately gave Yinzhen reason to suspect that the group was not particularly clean.
The reason he didn't suspect that there was someone unclean around him was mainly because no one noticed Yunrong's identity, although the people serving him knew that Yunrong had come with him today.
With Yinzhen gone, no one really noticed Yunrong's situation. Liang Jiugong was also skilled in martial arts, so protecting Yunrong was no problem.
Yinzhen had a large number of men with him. Although the assassin was quite skilled, he greatly underestimated the abilities of Yinzhen's guards and secret agents.
Compared to his father, the Emperor, Yinzhen was considered to be incorruptible. Therefore, he required his guards to be truly capable, and he disliked those who were just looking for a job.
Therefore, the guards around Yinzhen who were able to stay and be given important positions were generally those who were quick-witted, adaptable, and skilled in martial arts.
If the bodyguards are like this, then the secret guards are even more so. The method for training secret guards is based on the method of training special agents in the Republic of China, but modified according to the realities of the time. The secret guards trained are absolutely loyal and extremely lethal.
Yinzhen's men dealt with the group of assassins without much difficulty.
Although the solution was simple, the incident still left Yinzhen in a bad mood. No one is happy to be attacked while out and about. Also, there was the question of who had leaked his whereabouts.
It's worth mentioning that although the carriage that Yinzhen and Yunrong were riding in didn't run away, it was indeed quite frightened. The horse was startled and its hooves were upside down. Although the carriage behind it wasn't damaged, everything inside was broken and in disarray.
Yinzhen glanced at the carriage, his face darkening further. If Yunrong were still sitting in the carriage, the consequences would definitely not be what he wanted to see.
Yinzhen, supporting Yunrong, his face ashen, said, "Investigate for me."
"yes"
The assassination attempt on the emperor is no small matter and must be thoroughly investigated.
Yinzhen: "Have the imperial physician come and examine the Empress, and send two more imperial physicians to the back to examine all the ministers as well."
"yes"
Yunrong was examined by the imperial physician and found to be fine. She wasn't frightened at all. Since all medicines have some toxicity, the physician didn't prescribe any medicine and just told her to go home and rest for a couple of days.
With Yunrong alright, Yinzhen's complexion finally improved.
Back at their lodgings in the county town, Bobo and Beibei greeted them. The siblings had already received the news of their father and mother's assassination attempt and had rushed over.
Bobo, holding Beibei's hand, looked at her parents, who were unharmed but somewhat disheveled, and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Father and Mother?"
Yunrong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have many guards with me, how could anything happen to me? Why aren't you studying with your master?"
Bobo: "When my son heard the news of his father and mother's assassination attempt, he couldn't concentrate on his studies at all! So he wanted to come and see them."
Looking at Bobo and Beibei, Yinzhen guessed that this was the first time they had encountered such a situation, and said, "You can suspend your studies today and make them up later."
"Yes, Father."
Yunrong looked alright, except her hair was a bit messy. Yinzhen had actually fought the assassin, and the fight had created a lot of dust, so he looked rather disheveled.
Beibei was too young to express herself clearly, but she had never seen her father so disheveled before, and wondered what had happened to him!
I don't know what she was thinking, but with her short little legs, she broke free from Bobo's hands and hugged Yinzhen's leg tightly: "Father!"
