Chu You and Li Wanming were discussing important matters in the study when suddenly there was a hurried knock on the door.

What followed was Thirteen's anxious voice.

"Your Highness, something seems to have happened to the little princess!"

"What?!"

The two of them stood up almost at the same time and strode towards the door. Li Wanming even used some light skills.

"What's going on? Isn't Yaoyao at the Su family?!"

He opened the door first, his face looked a little flustered and his voice was slightly trembling.

"Where is the person who brought the news now?" Chu You asked immediately.

Thirteen shook his head, "That person is gone."

He told the two of them what had just happened.

"Just now there was a little boy at the gate, he said a big sister asked him to deliver a message, asking him to tell us: the young lady suddenly fainted!

"After saying this, the child ran away and disappeared."

Chu You ran out in panic, "I'll go to the Su family to check!"

"I'm going too!"

Li Wanming took out a mask from his arms, put it on and hurriedly followed.

The three of them rode towards the Su family. When they passed a small alley, Li Wanming suddenly frowned, his ears moved slightly, and then he suddenly tightened the reins.

"Whoa!"

He shouted at the two of them with a serious look on his face.

"careful!"

Almost at the same time, as he shouted, four masked men jumped down from the roofs on both sides.

The four men raised their swords and rushed straight towards Chu You.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Thirteen shouted and fended off two men, and Li Wanming also repelled two.

Chu You also took the opportunity to blow the whistle.

In the chaos, the three of them did not notice that in a house beside the street, a window on the second floor, diagonally opposite them, was slightly open, and a masked woman was standing there.

At this moment, she was holding a bow and arrow, aiming at Chu You's chest.

After the whistle sounded, the officers and soldiers in the house and the people from the Shadow Building arrived one after another.

But the four men did not want to fight. They waved their hands at the same time, sent out more than a dozen darts, and then escaped in the chaos.

The woman took this opportunity, loosened her fingers, and an arrow flew straight towards Chu You.

Several people vaguely heard a "puff" sound.

The next moment, Chu You let out a muffled groan.

Seeing the arrow hit his heart, the woman left with satisfaction.

The arrow was poisoned, this time, he was dead!

“Your Highness!”

Thirteen cried out in surprise, rushed over, knelt on one knee on the ground, looked at the arrow in his chest, and was so anxious that he was at a loss and sweating profusely.

"I will go find a doctor right away. You must hold on!"

"Quick, go find a doctor!"

Chu You clutched his chest tightly, shook his head at him, and insisted: "Don't worry about me, go find Yaoyao first."

Li Wanming looked carefully at his hand covering his chest, and thought of the armor that Yaoyao had mysteriously given him a few days ago, and his brows relaxed a little.

He arranged everything in an orderly manner for everyone.

"Thirteen, send the Second Prince back first, and then send someone to inform Han Jifu that the Second Prince was assassinated on the street!"

"The rest of you go chase the assassin separately, I'll go find Yaoyao alone!"

In this way, several officers and soldiers carried Chu You back to Zhuyunju, while Li Wanming continued to rush to Su Mansion.

As soon as I walked out of the street, I met A Shi who was riding a horse and holding Yaoyao.

"Uncle!"

Seeing a familiar figure, Chu Yaoyao waved hurriedly.

Seeing that she looked normal, Li Wanming finally felt relieved.

"Is my second brother okay?"

Thinking of what happened just now, Li Wanming's face became serious.

"Someone sent a message saying that something happened to you. The Second Prince and I went out to look for you, but we were attacked by an assassin on the way."

Chu Yaoyao was extremely anxious, "How is Second Brother? Let's go back quickly!"

[My guess was right. The reason they attacked me was to throw my second brother off balance so they could take advantage of the opportunity to assassinate him!]

Li Wanming whispered, "The Second Prince was shot in the heart by an arrow."

Hearing this, Chu Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the last time she came back from out of the city, she contacted Ruan Nuo and got some bulletproof vests.

Should it be able to block the arrow? But the next moment, her face turned pale.

[Is the second brother wearing a bulletproof vest? 】

Li Wanming picked her up and whispered comfortingly into her ear.

"Don't worry, he's not hurt."

On the other side, several people carried Chu You into the room and hurried to call a doctor.

Chu You asked everyone else to leave, leaving only Thirteen.

"Your Highness, please hold on. The doctor will be here soon. It's all my fault for being useless and failing to protect you..."

Thirteen whispered, his eyes red, guilt and self-blame almost drowning him.

Chu You sat up, pulled out the arrow and threw it on the ground.

"You don't need to comfort me..."

The arrow fell to the ground with a thud, which made him stop talking abruptly.

"How did you pull it out yourself?!"

Looking at the wound without even a drop of blood, Thirteen was completely confused.

"Are you okay?"

On the other side, Han Jifu was in a state of panic.

The minister in the capital who had been exchanging letters with him had not replied for more than a month.

So many messy things happened in the palace again.

He just got the news that Bai bribed the maid of the Su Mansion, drugged Princess Qiyuan, and colluded with the Taoist priest to slander Princess Qiyuan as a monster.

He was about to go to the backyard to find Bai.

Soon after, the butler came to find him with the second prince's guards.

It was said that the second prince was stabbed in the street and was seriously injured.

"What?!"

He walked quickly to Feng Chi, looking concerned and worried.

"How is the Second Prince injured?"

Feng Chi said in a heavy tone, "The Second Prince was shot in the chest by an arrow."

Hearing this, Han Jifu was extremely excited and clenched his hands behind his back excitedly.

That stupid woman from the Bai family!

Even after being sold, he still helps others count money!

But this time his wish came true.

Now, he needs to connect these things with the previous bandit assassins and put the blame on the Bai family and Xiyue people, then he can get away with it.

only……

Han Jifu still felt something strange in his heart.

Is it really that simple?

But he did look panicked and hurriedly gave instructions to the butler.

"Hurry up and prepare the carriage, no, prepare the horse, I want to go visit the Second Prince!"

When Han Ji Fu arrived at Zhuyunju, he saw a guard walking out quickly with a basin of blood.

A doctor carrying a medicine box came out from behind, shaking his head and sighing as he walked.

He Xi had a sad face and chased after the doctor, asking questions non-stop.

"Doctor, my son's injury..."

Seeing this scene, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly with satisfaction.

It seems that Chu You is seriously injured, that’s great!

He was smiling in his heart, but he pretended to be terrified on the surface.

He hurried into the room and pretended to trip when he stepped over the threshold.

"Hey, Your Highness! Are you okay?"

He looked carefully. Chu You's face was as pale as paper, and there was a strong smell of blood in the room...

But he still had some doubts, and his eyes flashed slightly as he looked at the place where Chu You was shot.

“Ahem.”

Chu You looked weak and was supported by Shisan, leaning against the soft pillow.

When I saw him, his lips, which were so pale without a trace of blood, moved slightly and he was breathing very weakly.

"Inspector Han is here too?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, I will catch the assassin as soon as possible and avenge you!"

“Ahem!”

Chu You covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.

"Then I'll have to trouble Governor Han."

Han Ji took a few steps forward and looked at it carefully.

"Your Highness, I was also wounded by an arrow a few years ago. At that time, I was helped by a barefoot doctor who gave me a legendary medicine. I applied it a few times and it healed."

As he spoke, he took out a medicine bottle and pretended to apply the medicine to Chu You.

“No need!”

Chu You waved his hand to refuse.

"Your Highness, this medicine really works wonders!"

Han Jifu was determined to see the wound with his own eyes.

Thirteen stepped forward to stop him, "Please don't worry about applying the medicine, Governor Han. Besides, your highness's wound has just been bandaged."

Seeing that the wound had been pulled several times but there was still no trace of blood, Han Jifu became even more confused.

He handed the medicine to Thirteen and then waited aside.

"Well, come on then."

Thirteen was holding the medicine bottle, feeling troubled. Han Jifu behind him kept staring at this side.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Chu You clenched his fists silently under the quilt and gritted his teeth secretly.

This old fox!
