The next morning, Shen Yuhan took Fang Qingyue to go boating outside the capital.
The moat outside the capital comes from the north, circles the city after reaching the center, and then goes southeast.
Because of the obstruction of the capital, the waters to the southeast are wide and there are often pleasure boats here.
Shen Yuhan and Fang Qingyue were sitting on the boat together, and Fang Qingyue's gaze fell on the water in the distance.
Where the water meets the sky, they almost blend into one. The reflections of white clouds in the clear water are refreshing.
Fang Qingyue held her cheeks with both hands, her eyes almost completely attracted by the scenery.
The next moment, several boats suddenly appeared on the water and sped towards their boat.
The wind blew up the sails, and the boat reached its maximum speed. Fang Qingyue squinted her eyes and took a closer look at the people on the boats, and her expression suddenly changed.
"Sir, it's an assassin!" She stood up suddenly and pulled Shen Yuhan to run into the cabin.
But the next moment, the assassin took advantage of the force and jumped onto their ship, attacking Shen Yuhan and Fang Qingyue.
In the distance, Song Xiaoya was sitting on a boat, looking at this side quietly.
The assassin was related to Song Xiaoya. After she heard the news in Beijing yesterday that Shen Yuhan did not keep the defense map in the mansion, she thought of Fang Qingyue.
Although Shen Yuhan only regarded Fang Qingyue as his concubine, he took Fang Qingyue too seriously in many things.
She suspected that the identity of the mistress was just a cover-up for Fang Qingyue by Shen Yuhan, and there must be some unspeakable secret behind it.
Maybe he has hidden the defense map in Fang's house.
Yesterday she sent people to investigate the Fang family's old house, but failed to find any trace of the defense map.
When she heard today that Shen Yuhan and Fang Qingyue were going to go boating on the river, she ordered people to ambush here in advance in order to lay out a defense map.
Shen Yuhan drew out his sword and protected Fang Qingyue while fighting with those people.
He had indeed released the information about the defense map in advance, but he hadn't expected Song Xiaoya to show up so quickly.
Those assassins tried desperately to steal the defense map, but Shen Yuhan wielded his sword so tightly that no one could get close to him.
When an assassin saw several of his companions being knocked into the water by Shen Yuhan, he rushed directly towards Shen Yuhan's back.
"Sir!" Fang Qingyue shouted and rushed towards Shen Yuhan.
The long sword pierced Fang Qingyue's waist and was caught by her hand. The assassin saw that there was no way out and was about to leave when Shen Yuhan cut off his wrist with a sword.
He clenched his teeth, trying to bite through the poison hidden behind his teeth, but Shen Yuhan broke his jaw.
"Take them away!" His face was extremely cold and he ordered his men to take all the assassins away.
Seeing this scene, Song Xiaoya couldn't hold back after all, and flew towards the ship where Shen Yuhan was, wanting to plunder the defense map.
The defense map was placed on the table. She reached out and took it, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes.
The next moment, a dagger was shot out by Shen Yuhan and passed by Song Xiaoya's shoulder.
Seeing Shen Yuhan had discovered her, she didn't dare to fight any longer. After dropping the smoke bomb, she quickly escaped.
Fang Qingyue fell softly to the ground, feeling the blood flowing at her side.
Shen Yuhan turned around and saw Fang Qingyue like this. He was a little overwhelmed and pressed Fang Qingyue's waist, his eyes full of panic: "Fang Qingyue, you must not get into trouble. This king orders you!"
He had not thought this matter through.
Even though he had already spread the news, he still took Fang Qingyue to the river for a boat ride. If not, Fang Qingyue wouldn't have suffered the disaster she suffered today.
Fang Qingyue shook her head. The excessive blood loss made her body feel a little cold, and her pale lips looked particularly pitiful. "It's nothing... If I hadn't helped you block the knife today, wouldn't you be lying here now? My lord, you have helped me a lot. This is what I should do..."
"No... No!" Shen Yuhan's heart was shaken. He hugged Fang Qingyue tightly and shouted hoarsely to his subordinates, "Quick, go get Doctor Mu!"
Upon hearing that Fang Qingyue was in trouble, the old doctor followed Shen Yuhan's men back to the Fang family's old house without hesitation.
Shen Yuhan sat on the edge of the bed, holding Fang Qingyue's waist tightly with a clean handkerchief, her face full of worry.
Seeing his look, the old doctor snorted coldly, not showing any good mood at all.
After all, he was alone, and even if he offended Shen Yuhan, he only had one life left, and Shen Yuhan would not kill his entire clan.
What's more, Fang Qingyue's current misfortune is closely related to Shen Yuhan.
"Your Highness is truly thoughtful." He said disdainfully as he applied medicine to Fang Qingyue, "Qingyue has been ridiculed outside these past few days because of you, yet you still managed to drag Qingyue out for a boat ride on the lake, and even caused her to get injured."
"Your Highness may not have meant it, but this foolish disciple of mine does. If you cannot protect Qingyue, you should set her free as soon as possible."
He really felt sorry for Fang Qingyue.
Shen Yuhan was startled and asked, "Who instructed her?"
"Your Highness, do you really not know?" The old doctor felt even more mocked and could not help but sneer, "Even the patients who come to my pharmacy think Qingyue is your mistress and is unclean."
"Now even a beggar can point at her nose and scold her for being immoral, but you are completely unaware of it. You are really a person who cannot be trusted!"
The expression on Shen Yuhan's face changed again and again, and finally he lowered his head and said, "I really don't know about this."
These days, he found that his attitude towards Fang Qingyue was a bit too much.
He was just a concubine, so there was no need to spend so much time on Fang Qingyue. After all, he had already promised to help Fang Qingyue reopen the case of Fang Xifu. This alone was worth Fang Qingyue's commitment to him.
Therefore, in the past two days, he has been trying not to look for Fang Qingyue, nor to pay attention to the news about Fang Qingyue from the outside world, intending to weaken Fang Qingyue's position in his heart.
