Because of the appearance of the Ouchi experts sent by His Majesty, the assassins fled when they saw that the assassination failed, but one of them was caught before he could escape.
After catching the assassin, the leading secret guard walked up to Yan Jingxuan, clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Yan Jingxuan shook his head, pretending to be curious and asked: "Who are you?"
The man said: "We are ordered by His Majesty to protect the Crown Prince. There is some chaos here, so we'd better send you back home first."
"good."
Yan Jingxuan responded, and then left here under the protection of the secret guards.
Not far away is Wangyue Tower.
Ye Xiuchen was standing in front of the window looking at the retreating figures of their group. Shen Zhixu on the side asked with some confusion: "Didn't you say you'd wait a little longer? Why did you choose to take action today?"
Ye Xiuchen smiled and said, "If we don't take action today, I'm afraid this good brother of mine won't be able to sleep."
Shen Zhixu looked puzzled: "Why?"
Ye Xiuchen said, "You didn't see how ugly his face was when he left."
Shen Zhixu really hadn't met yet, because he knew it was the first time that their brothers met, so he avoided it. He didn't show up until Yan Jingxuan left. Naturally, he didn't know what happened between the brothers?
But he was also curious: "Did you offend him?"
Ye Xiuchen sighed: "I'm not offended at all, it's just that I gave Miss Chu Chu a book on martial arts and talked with her for a few more words, and then my younger brother became jealous."
Shen Zhixu: "..."
He looked at the book that had fallen on the road, pointed at it and asked, "Is that the method? I just saw that girl use this thing to block Yan Jingxuan's arrow."
Ye Xiuchen clicked his tongue twice and said with some sadness: "It's a pity that such a good idea has become a pile of waste paper."
Shen Zhixu was speechless. He shook his head and joked with a smile: "I really didn't expect that you would go to such trouble for this younger brother. Is this all just to let him embrace the beauty?"
Ye Xiuchen shrugged: "Quan should be given as a meeting gift to him."
Shen Zhixu nodded in agreement. This greeting gift was really unique. Others might not be able to resist it, but it was quite interesting to see their brotherly friendship.
...
The next day, outside the city gate.
Mu Yunan and Xiao Chengyi came to see Wang Zefang leave the capital, and even Yan Jingxuan, who had just been assassinated yesterday, also came to see him off.
Wang Zefang heard about what happened yesterday and asked with some worry: "I heard you were injured. Why are you here if you don't have a good rest?"
Yan Jingxuan said: "It's just a minor injury. You and I have known each other for a while. Now that you are leaving Beijing and returning to Changzhou to take up your post, how can I not come to see you off?"
Wang Zefang was very moved. He patted Yan Jingxuan on the shoulder and said, "Be careful in the capital. Take more people with you when you go out to protect yourself."
Yan Jingxuan nodded: "Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Wang Zefang said no more. He looked in the direction of the city gate with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Because the Imperial Master said that King Jing and Mu Yunhuan are incompatible, His Majesty issued an order yesterday to cancel the marriage between Mu Yunhuan and King Jing.
But today when he left Beijing, she didn't come to see him off. He hadn't seen her since what happened last time.
He wanted to see her very much.
But Wang Zefang knew that Mu Yunhuan would not come, so he looked back and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Mu Yun'an and said: "Cousin, can you please help me forward this letter to her."
