Chapter 495: Assassinate the King!
Capital city, Prince Yan's Mansion.
Prince Yan, who had already made his official public appearance in the capital, finally returned to the mansion where he had not lived for too long.
The Princess of Yan has now let go of everything and is in a state of strength due to lack of desire.
When the news of Prince Yan's return came, Princess Yan just responded casually, and then there was no further news.
"Princess, His Highness has returned. Don't you want to go and see him?"
The housekeeper who was serving Princess Yan saw that Princess Yan just responded and continued to do what she was supposed to do, so she couldn't help but muster up the courage to remind her.
Princess Yan glanced at the housekeeper and said, "What is there to see?"
Such a long time has passed since Prince Yan made his public appearance in the capital, and he has never sent anyone to say even a word.
The Princess of Yan was not stupid, so she naturally understood what this meant.
Her marriage with Prince Yan was originally a marriage of arrangement.
There is no love between the two of them at all.
In addition, she was previously controlled by the old lady of the Xu Mansion and thought that the Xu Mansion was her fundamental support for her foothold in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, so she did a series of foolish things.
I was stupid and squandered the little affection we had to begin with.
When she was sent to Huai'en Temple by the emperor's order, the Prince of Yan was clearly alive, but there was no sign of his presence. The Princess of Yan then understood that the relationship between them was completely over.
The Prince of Yan is returning to his palace now simply because this is the Prince of Yan's palace.
Although she is still the Princess of Yan, she is only the Princess of Yan.
If she still wants to continue to hold the title of Princess of Yan, she should know the present situation and not get close to Prince of Yan.
If you are not in a hurry to do it, it is not a business.
Don’t say that a forced melon is not sweet, but it can quench your thirst.
How do you know for sure that the other person is thirsty?
"Pass the word down. From now on, there is no need to report anything about the King of Yan to me!"
"Also, everyone in the backyard, watch your mouths."
"Weigh carefully what you should and shouldn't say, and don't make mistakes!"
"yes!"
The housekeeper shuddered at the words of Princess Yan. Although Princess Yan didn't say anything, she felt that these words were meant to warn her.
…
The Prince of Yan returned to the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Just as the Princess of Yan had guessed, this was the Prince of Yan's Mansion. If this wasn't the Prince of Yan's Mansion, the Prince of Yan would never have set foot here.
"Leng Jue, what is the princess doing?"
After returning to Prince Yan's Mansion for most of the day and handling a lot of official business, Prince Yan suddenly looked up at Leng Jue who was standing beside him and asked slowly.
"Your Highness, the princess is reading..."
"Have you been reading?"
King Yan was stunned for a moment, obviously shocked by Leng Jue's answer.
Leng Jue nodded, then shook his head and said, "It's not like she was reading all the time. During this time, the princess also walked around the yard and ate some cakes."
"that's all?"
"yes!"
Leng Jue nodded affirmatively this time.
The Prince of Yan was rather dumbfounded. He had not expected the Princess to be so patient. However, he was only momentarily shocked before putting the matter aside.
Having been married to Princess Yan for so many years, Prince Yan felt that he knew her quite well. In his opinion, Princess Yan's move was clearly a game of playing hard to get.
"ridiculous!"
The Prince of Yan did not think that the Princess's actions had any effect. He had completely given up on this confused Princess.
If Lu Mudan had not wanted to marry him, he would have submitted a memorial to depose Princess Yan from her position as Princess.
As for now, the reason why he kept the Princess of Yan was because he needed someone to take her place.
The King of Yan firmly believed that where there is sincerity, even metal and stone can be moved.
As long as he keeps working hard, he will be able to win the girl's heart.
Unfortunately, Prince Yan didn't really understand Lu Mudan. If she did, she wouldn't have such illusions. Even if she did, she should have shown her attitude first, instead of acting like this.
…
For several consecutive days, Prince Yan would return to the Prince Yan's Mansion, but he had no contact with the Princess Yan.
Then, the King of Yan discovered that the Princess of Yan who lived in the backyard seemed to have no idea that he, the King of Yan, had returned. After asking Leng Jue, the King of Yan learned that the Princess of Yan had not even asked anyone in the backyard to inquire about his news.
"Self-righteous woman!"
The Prince of Yan became more and more convinced that the Princess of Yan was playing hard to get.
"Your Majesty, I think the princess really doesn't seem to be paying attention to you!"
Leng Jue felt that he should give some honest advice.
When King Yan heard Leng Jue's words, he chuckled and said, "You don't understand. When you get married, you'll understand!"
"By the way, is there any girl you like?"
Speaking of this, King Yan immediately became interested.
Leng Jue shook his head violently and said, "No!"
"I don't want to get married!"
As the leader of the personal guards of the King of Yan, Leng Jue had never thought about getting married. Why did Leng Que, who came before him, betray the King of Yan? Wasn't it because of a woman, because he had a family?
Once a man has a family, he has burdens and his heart becomes soft.
"How can this be possible?"
The King of Yan glared and said, "Well, after this busy period is over, I will personally act as your matchmaker."
"Speaking of which, you can't just be an errand boy by my side forever. You have to have a proper job. That way, when we talk about marriage, you'll have something to talk about!"
"Your Highness, I really don't want to get married!"
"Alright, alright, I understand. Leave this matter to me. I promise to pick a lady from a noble family for you!"
“…”
Leng Jue didn't want to talk anymore.
"Let's go out and find a place to have a drink!"
Prince Yan put away the documents on the table and told Leng Jue to leave.
Although he returned to Prince Yan's Mansion these days, Prince Yan basically did not eat there. When it was time for dinner, he would take his people out of the mansion and find a restaurant.
The group left Prince Yan's Mansion and discussed where to go for dinner while chatting and laughing.
A carriage was approaching slowly from the opposite direction.
There are many such carriages on the streets of this capital city.
Neither the Prince of Yan nor the Tornado Guards took it too seriously.
However, when the carriage was only ten steps away from Prince Yan, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted, revealing four bows inside the carriage.
Four bows with arrows on the strings!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Four arrows were fired at the same time and arrived in an instant.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
At the critical moment, Leng Jue reacted and knocked King Yan to the ground with a sudden collision. With this collision, Leng Jue stood where King Yan was before.
Puff! Puff!
There were four arrows, two of which hit Leng Jue. The impact of the arrows entering his body carried Leng Jue away one after another.
"kill--!"
The wooden boards of the carriage fell in all directions, and four men in black, together with the coachman, rushed out, each holding a long knife, and rushed towards Prince Yan and his entourage.
The reaction of the Whirlwind Guards was undoubtedly extremely fast. They raised their hands and fired a volley of crossbows.
The five assassins were shot into hedgehogs in an instant.
