Ling Xi hurried to find Song Luoyang and was told that Song Luoyang was at Mingyue Villa at this time (he went to escape the summer heat). Ling Xi had no choice but to ride a horse to Mingyue Villa.

If someone else went to Song Luoyang, he might not give face. But Ling Xi is a gentle student, and Ling Xi is also his own person. He gave Ling Xi some clues, but it was not very useful.

Ling Ling returned disappointedly. On the way back, she was assassinated by an assassin. Just as the enemy's sword reached Ling Ling, she was about to die under the sword. The people around her hugged Ling Ling and turned in a direction, "Be careful, there are assassins."

Ling Xi led not many guards, only twenty. There were only six assassins, but they were extremely cruel when they took action. They were unexpectedly unprepared. In a blink of an eye, four guards fell down. The six assassins were all very skilled in martial arts, but unfortunately they did not expect that in addition to succeeding in the sneak attack, the six of them were also destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Wen Wan put a few top masters beside Ling Xi (Lord Shadow is not among them). Wen Wan is now guarding the mansion and is not worried about safety issues. However, Wen Wan played some tricks, and all of these masters disguised themselves among twenty guards. Wen Wan was guarding that someone assassinated Ling Xi or captured Ling Xi and threatened her.

Wen Wan was just prepared for the situation, but she didn't expect that an assassin would appear. Ling Xi's face turned pale at the time. After the end, Wu Zhao saw Ling Xi staring at the dead man in black on the ground.

Wu Zhao stood by the side without saying anything, let Ling Xi think about it. There were assassins around him just now. Even the assassin came directly towards Ling Xi, he knew that he could kill him when the assassin drew his sword. But Wu Zhao didn't, he just looked at the sharp sword in front of Ling Xi. He deliberately made Ling Xi feel the threat of death.

This was not what Wen Wan taught Wu Zhao, but what Wu Zhao thought. As Wen Wan's four personal guards, Wu Zhao, who is second only to Wu Xing in the princess's mansion (not comparable to women such as Xia Yao and Xia Ying). In addition, Wu Xing also clearly told Wu Zhao when he left. Wu Zhao already knew that Wen Wan wanted to train Ling Xi to become a successor.

When Wu Xing left, he told Wu Zhao that Ling Xi was not allowed to be weak, either as the successor of the princess or as the successor of the throne. He could not learn the mercifulness of the princess. Therefore, when Wu Xing left, he told Wu Zhao that the princess would definitely let the guards around him go over to protect Ling Xi (Wen Wan often sent Wu Zhao to send Ling Xi back to the palace). If she had the right opportunity, let Ling Xi face life and death directly, so that Ling Xi would feel that she was on the verge of death.

Wu Xing thought that Ling Xi's temperament was too gentle, and it didn't matter if the princess had a gentle personality. However, if Ling Xi wanted to take office, she would never be liked by the emperor. Moreover, as an emperor, gentleness could only be on the surface, and she had extremely tough will and decisive spirit. Wu Zhao was very worried that Ling Xi could not do it. Because gentle education was too gentle. Wu Xing believed that men must see more blood, and Ling Xi's mind and character would be better and would not be influenced by others.

Wu Xing was looking for opportunities before, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. This time he left again, so Wu Zhao found an opportunity. Wu Zhao and Wu Xing were both people who often faced life and death. Many of them had forgotten, but they still remembered the feeling of being on the verge of death for the first time. Although this feeling was only a moment, as long as anyone who had experienced this kind of horror would remember it for a lifetime.

Ling Xi looked at the corpse lying on the ground. If there were no such people arranged by his aunt for him, he would have died at the hands of these people. Ling Xi heard too much that Wen Wan said that his path would be very hard and he had this preparation. But no matter how much preparation he had, it would not be as strong as facing death directly this time. Wu Xing was right. Ling Xi faced death like this for the first time. At the moment of facing death, Ling Xi remembered what Wen Wan said to him. If you don’t have enough power, you can only become a cannon fodder on the way others took power.

Wu Zhao looked at Ling Xi's fist and grabbed it tightly, and quickly said, "Your Highness, these people are all dead soldiers, and they can't be asked even if they are caught. So we killed them." Wu Zhao said this, first, to explain why they didn't leave any living mouths, because it was useless to stay. Second, to divert Ling Xi's thoughts and prevent him from continuing to fall into the fear he had just now.

Ling Ling didn't say anything, but got on his horse and continued to rush back to the capital.

Wu Zhao looked at Ling Xi several times carefully. At this time, Ling Xi's face was ashen, and she couldn't tell anything else. Wu Zhao remembered that Ming Jin saw a dead person for the first time and fainted (Ming Rui was a freak, so I won't compare it). But the little prince regained his calm except for his emotions just now. Wu Zhao thought to himself that he is worthy of being the heir trained by the princess. It seems that Lord Wu Xing no longer has to worry about this.

Ling Xi went to change her clothes first, and Hai Ruyu got the news in this space. When Hai Ruyu heard that Ling Xi was assassinated, she turned pale. But before she could have any thoughts, she heard the person below saying that the fifth prince and the sixth prince came to visit the prince. The two of them were competing in secret as soon as they saw them.

As the eldest son, Ling Yuan was responsible for making arrangements. The forces that defected to the prince are now poisoned by the prince, some are waiting and watching, while others look at Ling Yuan.

When Ling Ling arrived, she was stopped by the maid outside. Although it was just a very difficult act, Ling Ling's eyes became two deeper.

Wu Zhao was silent next to him. It was best not to speak at this time. But Wu Zhao also despised the Crown Princess in his heart. Your son was assassinated and almost died. Even if the sky fell, you had met your son first. It would not be too late to comfort his son before handling the matter. Wu Zhao was very sure that if Mingrui and Mingjin encountered such a thing, even if the country was major affairs, the princess would not care about it. Therefore, there was a big difference between women and women.

This is actually a mistake for Hai Ruyu. As soon as the fifth prince and the sixth prince left, Hai Shilin came. Hai Shilin said that the previous dynasty was in turmoil now. It made Hai Ruyu mentally prepared. Hai Shilin's words were very tactful, but they named the prince's status and their family was in danger.

Hai Ruyu has never been so frightened. Now it is really a time for life and death. If the prince really has something to do and the prince leaves, they will definitely have to follow him.

Hai Ruyu tried to calm herself down, thinking about the worst outcome. She couldn't let the worst outcome happen, otherwise their family would be over. Hai Ruyu's thought arose again at this time. The prince was poisoned and there must be a person in the court and the country. Wen Wan was the most suitable candidate.

Hai Shilin also believes that Wen Wan is the most suitable candidate, but the problem is that Princess Wen Wan is seriously ill and cannot be in charge of the matter.

Hai Ruyu had a ruthless look in his eyes: "Wenwan must be pretending to be sick, it must be. Wenwan is famous for being cautious in doing things. How could she be so careless and let Mingrui and Mingjin be in such a dangerous place, the news is fake. Wenwan is pretending to be sick, and Wenwan should be trying to avoid the storm in the capital." Hai Ruyu didn't expect that this was the emperor's plan. She just thought that Wenwan was seeing the situation in the capital and wanted Mingzhe to protect herself. The news came from Haikou, so she simply used the trick.

When Hai Ruyu thought of this, she immediately said, "Where is Ling Xi now?" Hai Ruyu was about to visit Ling Xi. The matter was urgent just now, and she also wanted to visit Ling Xi, but the previous dynasty was related to the safety of the family. So she had to give up.

Ling Xi walked in from outside. Hai Ruyu was very anxious, but was pulled by Rong Mama. Hai Ruyu calmed down: "Ling Xi, now it is the time for our family to survive and die. Ling Xi, you have been serving your aunt. Tell your mother, is your aunt pretending to be sick or is really sick? Ling Xi, you must tell the truth." If Wen Wan pretends to be sick, things will be easy to solve.

Ling Ling looked at Hai Ruyu and didn't understand why she said to her aunt at once: "Mother, my aunt is really sick."

Hai Ruyu pinched Ling Xi's shoulders, and Ling Xi frowned in pain, but did not make a sound. Hai Ruyu said anxiously: "Ling Xi, your father is unconscious now. Your fifth uncle and the sixth uncle need more power. No matter who they take power, our family will be finished. Ling Xi, our family needs Wen Wan's help and she needs her to take charge of the overall situation." Although she is the crown princess, she is not qualified to take charge of the overall situation. Wen Wan has a noble identity and is followed by her back then.

The emperor has been around for many years and has always had a good relationship with the court officials. As long as Wenwan is willing to come out and take charge of the overall situation, the court officials will be convinced. Wenwan is unbiased and fair in dealing with things. More importantly, Wenwan is not a prince or a daughter, and has no direct conflict of interest with their family. As long as Wenwan is willing to come out and take charge of the overall situation, their East Palace will have a chance. Hai Ruyu even thought that as long as Wenwan is willing to assist Ling Yuan, she could propose that Wenwan be the regent princess.

Hai Shilin stood beside him and added: "Your Highness, the prince is unconscious now. When their position is stable, your highness, I don't need to say anything, I believe your highness knows what the situation is." Wen Wan has taught him carefully for so many years, and if he can't even see this clearly, then what else can he say?

Compared to Hai Ruyu, Hai Shilin is actually more willing to press the treasure on Ling Xi. She was assassinated just now, but she didn't see any fear from Ling Xi. Not everyone has this courage. Moreover, Hai Shilin is very sure that Ling Xi knows what the East Palace will face if the prince is gone. But in this case, Ling Yuan showed his emotions and showed anxiety. Of course, Ling Yuan's performance is already very good, but compared with Ling Xi who is as calm as a mountain, it is far behind (Ling Xi knows the truth and is not afraid).

Ling Ling shook her head: "Mother, uncle, and aunt can't get up now, so aunt can't come out to coordinate the overall situation." He knew that his aunt was pretending to be sick, but his mother didn't know. At this time, the mother wanted her aunt to come out to take charge of the overall situation, but the result would be counterproductive.
