When the Queen received the news, Concubine Guo also received the news.
The Third Prince followed the yamen runners down to the river to build the dam, and Shen Zhao and the other children of the aristocratic families also went down.
She was extremely surprised, but after the surprise she felt a surge of pride.
Her son and nephew are indeed heroes.
But the river is rushing and the flood has not receded yet. What should we do if something happens in the river?
Concubine Guo felt proud but also started to worry.
"It's better to tell him not to go into the river. It's too dangerous!" Concubine Guo picked up a pen and began to write. The beautiful small calligraphy with flowers appeared on the rice paper, carrying her deep love for her son.
As the father of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, the Emperor greatly admires what they have done.
Originally thought that the prince would live a life of luxury and lack ambition after being named heir to the throne, but unexpectedly, he was not vague at all when he went to Jiangnan to control the flood.
He praised the prince highly and stayed overnight in the Queen's palace in a good mood.
Bai Zhirou had no idea what the situation was like in the palace. She was planning for tomorrow, including building a temporary shack, setting up a porridge stall, and hiring a skilled doctor.
There are really a lot of things to do.
While making her bed, Mingcui told her everything she had seen and heard today.
That old woman, Nanny Jiang, was the best at conflating right and wrong. She actually said that the achievements Bai Zhirou had earned herself were awarded to her by Prince Rong's Mansion.
She also said that she now relies entirely on Prince Rong's Mansion, otherwise she would not even have a place to live.
The common people just listened for fun. The emperor was far away and no one cared to find out whether what Nanny Jiang said was true or not.
However, the name of Princess Mingzhu was finally made known.
"Princess, you don't know how disgusting that old woman's face is. When will we move to the Princess's Mansion?" Ming Cui had long wanted to stop living under the same roof with these people.
Mingcui didn't wait for Bai Zhirou's response and went out to fetch some water for Bai Zhirou to wash.
"Be patient. Once this matter is settled, we will move to the Princess's Mansion." Bai Zhirou said.
The prince and others did not come back that night, and Bai Zhirou could not sleep well. In a daze, she saw a figure printed on the window.
He is tall and has his hair tied up, so he looks like a man.
Who will come at this time?
Bai Zhirou's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and she quietly grasped a short dagger in her hand.
She quietly got out of bed and woke Mingcui up.
Mingcui was so frightened when she saw the shadow on the window that she wanted to scream, but Bai Zhirou covered her mouth in an instant.
All the screams were swallowed!
Someone wants to kill them?
A short knife was stuffed in through the crack in the door. The knife was slowly getting stuck on the bolt, moving it little by little.
Mingcui's breathing became rapid and her whole body was shaking slightly.
Seeing how bold he was, Bai Zhirou quietly hid behind the door, waiting for the killer to come in and subdue him with one blow!
The moment the bolt fell, a big hand reached out and caught it accurately without making a sound.
Bai Zhirou held her breath, tightly gripping the dagger in her hand, waiting for the man to step forward and then stabbing the dagger directly into his abdomen!
The door opened, a figure stepped into the room, and then gently closed the door.
He underestimated Bai Zhirou's alertness and overestimated his own means. He was so confident that he didn't even use a magic potion and dared to break in alone.
Bai Zhirou seized the opportunity and rushed towards the man with a dagger in hand.
As a martial artist, he dodged immediately, but he only dodged the dagger and didn't have time to dodge the white powder in her hand.
"You, you!" The man in black only had time to say this before he collapsed limply.
Mingcui lit a candle to illuminate the face. Beneath the black veil was the face of an ordinary person, thrown into the crowd and never to be found again.
There was no memory of him at all, but the dagger in his hand and the calluses on his palms showed that he was not an ordinary person.
"Tell me, who sent you? If you don't, I'll kill you!" Bai Zhirou swung the dagger around, causing the man in black to look horrified in pain.
"I, I am a refugee. Seeing that your family is wealthy and your status is not simple, I wanted to make a fortune. I didn't intend to kill anyone!" The man in black was limp all over, but blood was oozing out of his wound.
Bai Zhirou didn't believe his lame lie. The black clothes alone were not simple.
Where did the refugees get their night clothes?
Bai Zhirou raised her knife and slashed, leaving another wound on his body, soaking his black clothes a little deeper.
"Why don't you tell the truth? I will make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow!" Bai Zhirou said coldly.
"I'm telling you! I'm really a refugee!" The man in black insisted on being a refugee.
What happened tonight was really a complete disaster. He was too careless and fell into the trap of this woman!
Seeing that he still didn't tell the truth, Bai Zhirou asked Ming Cui to call the shopkeeper and everyone else.
As soon as they heard that an assassin had broken in, everyone got dressed, left their rooms, and gathered in the hall.
The man in black had been carried downstairs by Qiu Tong.
"This man broke into my room in the dead of night. When I questioned him repeatedly, he said he was a refugee."
Bai Zhirou observed everyone's expressions, and when her eyes swept across everyone in Prince Rong's Mansion, she keenly noticed Xia Yuning's shaky body.
This damn woman, is she so impatient after just a few days?
"Sister Zhirou, God is merciful. Perhaps he did something foolish because he was desperate. You see, nothing is wrong with you, so why not let him go?"
Xia Yuning was supported by Princess Rong and walked forward, her face pale with fear.
"Why are you saying all this? Mother is worried that you'll be scared. You'd better go back to your room. You can't stand such a bloody scene." Princess Rong was so scared that she was afraid even to see it.
"The abbot of Puguang Temple said that this princess is blessed and these villains have no right to enter her body."
"But is this the reason for his murder? This is too outrageous!"
Bai Zhirou insisted again and again that the man be sent to the government office for imprisonment.
Prince Rong came forward and agreed, but he had to wait until daybreak.
Bai Zhirou asked Ma Da to keep an eye on him while she went to rest first. After all, she still had a lot of things to do tomorrow.
"I thought the government-run post station would be safer, but I didn't expect someone to break in anyway!" Ming Cui was indignant.
"Princess, shall we change to another inn tomorrow?"
Bai Zhirou also had the same idea, mainly because she felt uncomfortable living there.
After catching the thief, Bai Zhirou lay down again.
But someone won't be able to sleep tonight.
Xia Yuning was unwilling to let such a good opportunity go to waste!
She took advantage of the quiet night, left the post station, and called people in a unique way.
"What are you doing? Aren't you all martial arts masters? How come you can't even kill a weak woman?" Xia Yuning scolded the man as soon as they met.
