"There is an assassination attempt, please protect the young lady!"
The guards outside were in a mess. At the critical moment, Zhou Man reached out and pressed a switch on the stool. The floor of the carriage opened directly. After the two of them rolled down, it closed again.
"Shh!" Zhou Man said nervously to Shen Xing for being late.
The space in the secret room below was very small, and the two of them were so close together that they could not move.
"Boo-boo-boo-"
We were so close that we could clearly hear the sound of arrows hitting the carriage.
If it weren't for this secret pavilion, the two of them would probably have been shot into pieces.
The fierce battle lasted for about ten minutes, and when almost all the Zhou family's guards were wiped out, the Yulin Army who was patrolling at night hurriedly arrived.
The scene was bloody, all the guards of the Zhou family were killed, and the carriage was shot into a hedgehog.
"Tsk, tsk, which family's female relatives are so miserable?" the deputy commander sighed.
Sure enough, when he opened the curtain, he saw that the girl inside was dead.
Commander Li was just about to get off the carriage when suddenly the secret chamber opened, revealing the two girls inside. He was startled and said quickly, "Pull them up."
Zhou Man was the first to be pulled up by the Ange, and at a glance she saw the personal maid who had been shot with several arrows and died. The situation was too urgent, and she could only protect herself and Shen Xingwan first.
Shen Xingwan slowly climbed up from the dark pavilion, his face not looking good.
It seems that the regent princess has a very dangerous status, and someone is eager to kill her so soon.
Commander Li asked according to the rules, "Which family do the two girls belong to? I will send someone to take you back."
"The Zhou family in Heling Lane."
Commander Li glanced at Shen Xingwan and instantly guessed their identities. Things were going to be troublesome tonight.
"I'll have the carriage take you two back to the Zhou Mansion." Commander Li arrived very politely.
While cleaning up the scene, we arranged for someone to go to the Regent's Palace to report the news.
If he dared to assassinate the seventh girl of the Zhou family, the identity of the person who took action must be not simple.
He can't afford to offend the person who was stabbed or the one who assassinated the person. It's better to inform the Prince Regent to handle it himself.
Soon the Yulin Army arrived with a new carriage, and Commander Li said, "Please get in the carriage, two girls."
He personally led the team and escorted them to Zhou Mansion.
In the car, both of them looked a bit shocked, especially Zhou Man, who was facing such a thing for the first time and looked extremely pale.
"Are you okay?" Shen Xingwan was inexplicably calm.
Zhou Man calmed down and said, "Fortunately, we are riding in this carriage today, otherwise we would be doomed."
There were at least a hundred arrows inserted into the carriage, and they were basically shot indiscriminately from all directions. Without that secret pavilion, the two of them would have died.
This is the best carriage of the Zhou family. It is said that it was designed by a very powerful mechanic. This carriage is rarely used. Today, the Zhou family used this carriage for them out of various considerations.
As soon as they left the scene of the accident, the news that Miss Zhou Qi was assassinated spread throughout the imperial city.
The Zhou family was even more chaotic and turned into a pot of porridge, and the whole Zhou mansion was brightly lit.
Mrs. Zhou was extremely anxious and said to grandma, "Send someone to wait at the gate. If there is news, come back and report immediately."
Zhou Shilang was about to send someone to look for him in person, but Mrs. Zhou stopped him, "I've said before, don't be too greedy. Our Zhou family doesn't need to be in this muddy water."
"Mom, I also want the Zhou family to be closer." His official career has basically come to an end. The new generation of the Zhou family does not have anyone who can hold up the scene, and the abilities of his several sons are mediocre.
Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly, "Let me ask you again, what is her background?"
She is really the daughter of an old friend. Now that Qi Han has all the power, he can just take her back, so why bother giving her a false identity?
The old lady felt that there was definitely something wrong with the identity of this granddaughter who suddenly appeared, and maybe it would be a big trap.
Zhou Shilang shook his head, "The Regent didn't say anything."
He tried a few words, but the other party had no intention of saying more, so he had no choice but to give up.
"If you get out of play and bring down the whole Zhou family, do you want the whole family to be buried with you?" the old lady said sternly.
Zhou Shilang whispered, "The matter has reached this point, and we can only move forward. If I retreat, the regent will not let me go first."
The old lady was so angry that she remained silent for a while before saying, "I don't think that girl is a simple one. Her appearance is extraordinary based on her background."
Such a charming woman is definitely not an unknown person. In addition, Qi Han has gone to great lengths to hide her true identity, so it is difficult not to worry her.
If his background is really unusual, it will be another troublesome thing for his family to find him.
Zhou Shilang gritted his teeth and said with a bad expression, "No matter who she is, as long as she successfully marries the Regent, is there any woman in the world who is not worthy of the Regent?"
Looking at all countries, except for the King of Luo, Qi Han can be said to be a young and powerful being.
At this point, all we can do is think on the bright side. Mrs. Zhou sighed, "I hope so."
As soon as the carriage arrived at the door and the two got out of the car, the servants immediately became excited. They went to the inner courtyard to report the news, and then welcomed them in.
Zhou Shilang came out quickly, looked at the two of them, and said, "It's fine."
He was stunned for a moment when he saw Shen Xingwan. This was the first time he saw Shen Xingwan dressed up.
My heart skipped a beat, I am afraid that with such style and appearance, as the old lady guessed, she could not be an ordinary girl.
He quickly looked away, "Your mother should wait for you, go in first."
"Yes." Shen Xingwan responded lightly and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Zhou Shilang thanked the Yulin Army for their protection and asked them about the specific situation.
Mrs. Zhou looked anxiously at the door, and when she saw the two people walking in safely, she breathed a sigh of relief, "You must be scared, just be fine."
When the two entered the room, a maid immediately served them hot tea and arranged their clothes.
Zhou Man took a sip of hot tea and then slowly recovered, "Except for the two of us, everyone else is dead..."
Mrs. Zhou was also frightened for a while after hearing this. Fortunately, in order to match Shen Xingwan's identity as the future regent, she sent her the best carriage in the family.
Shen Xingwan smiled and said, "It seems that the identity of the regent princess is so hateful that people can't wait to take action even before I even have to say my horoscope."
"Don't be afraid, the murderer will be found out soon." Mrs. Zhou reassured them.
Zhou Man was greatly frightened, and Shen Xingwan looked tired. Zhou briefly asked about the situation at that time and then let them go.
"Go back and have a good rest. I'll talk about anything tomorrow."
Shen Xingwan was walking on the way back to the yard. It seemed that Qi Han really had a grudge against Fat Meow as he told Fat Meow.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be pushed to the forefront, and she would be roasted on the fire.
It's a pity that she has neither recovered her memory nor has anyone she can trust. She can only plot slowly and survive day by day.
Halfway there, Fat Meow, who had not been seen since the accident, suddenly jumped off the wall and ran over.
