In the chaos, until the reinforcements from Prince Qing's Mansion arrived, the assassins were either killed, captured, or escaped. Su Beici protected Lin Xiaoman the whole time and was even hit by an arrow for this.
Although it was only the back, not a vital part, it could definitely be considered a self-torture tactic.
The hero saves the beauty and uses a self-torture tactic, what is the purpose of this?
Although there was no evidence, Lin Xiaoman estimated that the possibility of her identity being exposed was almost certain. Su Beici must have known that she was the Regent of Dagan, the rumored Mr. Xi.
Otherwise, why was it reset on the night she regained her status as the eldest princess?
It must be Tiandao who told him the truth! Tiandao's father is giving him a chance!
However, this also shows that it was a bug that Tiandao's father was so blind that he didn't recognize her.
This bastard wants to seduce her, use her for his own benefit, and help him conquer the world!
Lin Xiaoman: Humph, it turns out that all men are bad!
The situation was under control, and several generals of the palace immediately knelt before Su Beici to apologize.
"Your Majesty, I am late. Please forgive me!"
"I deserve to die. My defense was inadequate and an assassin broke in. Your Majesty, please punish me!"
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly for me!" Su Beici ordered with a cold and angry look on his face, "I want to see who is so bold as to assassinate me!"
Lin Xiaoman: Wow, this acting is definitely at the level of an Oscar winner.
It's clearly a self-directed and self-acted performance!
"Your Highness, you are injured." The butler said with concern.
"It's okay." Su Beici waved his hand, and then the coldness on his face faded. He apologized to Lin Xiaoman leisurely and lightly, "It was my negligence that frightened the princess."
Lin Xiaoman concluded in her heart that the bastard was trying to seduce her, but she had to say that he was smart. He didn't show concern or flattery right away. Instead, he was obviously distant and polite, with a formulaic attitude, as if he had to save her just because she was a princess.
Glancing at his handsome face which had turned a little pale due to injury, Lin Xiaoman immediately came up with a word: playing hard to get!
Tsk, act! Keep acting!
"I, I'm fine." Lin Xiaoman was supported by a palace maid. She looked extremely frightened and pale, with obvious traces of tears on her face. She trembled slightly as she spoke, "Your Majesty, you, you are injured."
"It's just a minor injury. I can't live here any longer. Princess, please move to the Waterside Garden. I need to recuperate and stay in the study for now."
"The prince's injury is serious."
Lin Xiaoman nodded without objection, a timid and submissive look as if she was following all the instructions. Inwardly, she complained: "They're going to separate rooms! Being injured is a good excuse to kill two birds with one stone, while also clearing me of suspicion and getting separate rooms."
Su Beici tilted his head, tutting inwardly, and also complained, "What a scheming Yang Yixi is! She's clearly a big tiger, but she plays the role of a little white rabbit so well! She's so patient and humiliated, pretending to be weak. I wonder what this woman is up to."
Unable to guess, Su Beici stopped thinking and turned to the butler, "Butler Wang, take the princess and her group to the Waterside Garden."
Butler Wang: "Yes, Your Majesty. Princess, please follow me."
"Thank you, butler."
…
Watching Lin Xiaoman and his group leave the yard, Su Beici couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although he looked calm on the outside, he was actually panicking inside.
He was afraid that if they were alone together, the master Yang Yixi would secretly kill him. You know, Mr. Xi was not only an excellent martial artist, but also a master of medicine and poisons.
But in front of others, she was cautious.
Before he completely dispels her murderous intentions, he must act with caution and must not be left alone!
Before the operation, Su Beici specifically instructed that the old emperor's men should not be killed all, but half should be killed and the other half left.
On the one hand, we cannot push the old emperor into a corner, and on the other hand, we need someone to keep an eye on Yang Yixi.
After arranging everything, Su Beici returned to the study. The doctor first treated his wound, and then continued to arrange the next steps.
Because of his injury, Su Beici naturally asked for leave from the morning court the next day.
Emperor Wu Sheng, who had received the news last night, acted as if he had just learned about it, gave a wave of rewards to show his concern, and also sent a royal physician to see him.
The imperial physician came back and reported the truth.
Upon learning that Su Beici was really injured, Emperor Wu Sheng was shocked and confused. He originally suspected that Su Beici, the bastard, was deliberately crying thief and using the "assassin" to kill his people.
But now Su Beici is injured. Judging from the wolf cub's usual style, if he really did it, he would not bother to use the self-torture trick to cover it up, but would tell him blatantly: It was me who did it!
So, what's going on?
Emperor Wu Sheng was a little confused, and then just one day later, he received news that the assassin who attacked Prince Qing's Mansion last night was targeting the Golden Scale Guards.
Was it Liu Du who ordered it?
Emperor Wu Sheng was even more confused about this situation.
Liu Du was his knife and his killing tool, but he did not hint at completely eradicating Su Beici.
Could it be that Liu Du misunderstood his intention and acted on his own?
He doesn't need a dog that acts on its own!
Emperor Wu Sheng immediately called Liu Du into the palace and punished him for a trivial matter.
After being scolded, Liu Du felt terrified and apologized repeatedly.
Oh no, the old emperor is warning him!
It was obvious that the old emperor had heard something! But he didn't kill him, which meant that the old emperor didn't know about it yet. Therefore, the Seventeenth Princess, who might know the truth, must not be allowed to stay!
…
After the assassination, the Prince Qing's Mansion was very quiet for the past two days.
