Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Chapter 206: Lively Scene

She was busy catching the assassin and didn't have good eyesight to see Shen Zhishu opposite her.

As soon as she left, Yan Chu moved slowly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The team had already moved halfway forward, and Shen Zhishu also discovered the defenses on the street.

But no suspicious person appeared.

It seems that the assassin will not come, and this grand welcome ceremony should end successfully.

"Why do you like to join in the fun?"

It would be boring if this continued.

She was about to leave when suddenly a pair of hands came from behind, hugged her in the crowd and came close to her.

It was already very crowded here, with people almost sticking to each other, so a man standing behind her didn't attract anyone's attention.

Otherwise, such actions would be really immoral in broad daylight and would definitely be laughed at.

"Are you kidding me? I just want to see how this grand welcoming ceremony will go on without the protagonist here."

"Now that you've seen it, what do you think?"

"The princess is indeed amazing. I am ashamed of myself."

Shen Zhishu whispered.

Then he grabbed her waist with his big hand.

I placed it properly on my waist to prevent him from taking any further action.

"good."

Yan Chu said calmly.

His tone was somewhat light, as if he was praising his princess.

"It's good."

It is indeed very good to be able to deceive everyone and continue to conceal the assassination of the third Princess Jing'an.

Shen Zhishu also smiled and nodded.

Both of them had half of their faces covered, but at the same time, there was a hint of smile in their eyes.

Then Shen Zhishu took his hand and without asking why, he withdrew from the crowd.

The street next door is very deserted today.

The two of them went into a restaurant and asked for a private room.

Shen Zhishu made the decision himself and ordered a few side dishes and a pot of wine.

Indistinctly, it seemed like a secret meeting.

Yan Chu smiled but said nothing.

I was just reading a very serious book and found it inexplicably interesting.

"There's no one here. Your Majesty, are you not going to tell me about Princess Jing'an?"

She always had to make sure of the princess' current situation. She couldn't make all the arrangements herself, only to have them fail because of her unexpected actions.

"If you are so curious, why don't you go back to the palace?"

Talking about this, Yan Chu thought that Zhao Rui would come back after Chu Er told her on the day she came back, but she didn't expect that she would ignore him and persisted on her own for so many days.

The question made Shen Zhishu stunned.

"You make it sound like I can come back anytime I want."

"Is not it?"

He asked rhetorically.

Shen Zhishu immediately shook his head to deny it.

Yan Chu laughed and nodded.

"Okay, I was wrong about you. If I had known you wouldn't be able to come back, I would have found a way to help you."

His tone sounded like he was joking.

Shen Zhishu also realized it slowly, and it took him a while to react. He felt really strange.

He smiled too much, and the look in his eyes always had a hint of depth that she couldn't understand. Could it be...he guessed something?

But hasn't she been doing it all along without leaving any trace?

"The third sister said that about three days ago, after they entered the capital, they were targeted. At first, she thought they were people from the imperial court, but then they were suddenly attacked. Those people were extremely ruthless and did not intend to leave anyone alive, so the people they brought from outside the Great Wall suffered heavy casualties."

Before she could think more, Yan Chu had already begun to answer her.

Princess Jing'an and her husband are now living in his house. No one knows more about the assassination than him except them.

Shen Zhishu did not interrupt and listened carefully.

There were three assassination attempts in total, and the number of killers increased each time. The last time, the prince consort was seriously injured and fell off a cliff in order to protect the princess. The princess risked her life to save him and temporarily got rid of the assassins.

He then went to Beijing and was rescued by Zhao Rui by accident.

Li Yan guessed the identity of the son-in-law from his appearance and the demeanor of the two men, and brought him to the Prince of Qin's Palace.

Because the situation was urgent at the time, I had to temporarily postpone my return home.

"Once the storm subsides, I will personally accompany Li Yan back."

He is my sworn brother, and it is just like having my parents accompany me back home. How glorious it is. The Zhao family should not have any more thoughts.

"Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao are both sensible and generous people. They will not care about it. Your Highness does not need to worry."

She didn't worry about this.

"Then did the prince ask the third princess whether she suspected who ordered the assassin?"

"Judging from her skills and the weapons she used, she must be from the Yan Dynasty. She only attacked after entering Kyoto, so she is most likely from Kyoto. My sister thinks someone doesn't want to see her walk into Kyoto alive."

"The third princess's former enemy?"

"Ten years ago, she was just an unmarried girl who had lived in the deep palace for a long time. Even if she had grievances with others, they were mostly just verbal disputes. But assassinating the princess and the prince from the frontier is a capital crime. Who dares?"

Obviously Yan Chu didn't think so.

"I'm afraid that some people don't want Yan Dynasty and the outside world to work together, and want to take this opportunity to start a war, causing chaos on the border."

Start a war? I don't think so.

Who is so desperate that he would rather go to war than enjoy a good life?

The princes of Kyoto fought each other, but they were only fighting for the throne.

Who would have thought that the Yan Dynasty would not have peace?

"No, I don't think that's the case. Maybe there's another purpose behind assassinating the Third Princess. Maybe the Third Princess came back this time and brought some unknown secrets with her, and someone is worried that they will be exposed."

Rather than provoking a war between the Yan Dynasty and the outside world, she felt that internal strife was more likely.

Yan Chu frowned.

"I know very little about what happened to the Third Princess ten years ago, but in the past two days I did find that the Third Princess seemed to be hiding something."

Therefore, he did not rule out Shen Zhishu's speculation.

"In that case, why not go to the palace and check what happened in the past."

If Yan Chu had this intention, and the palace was in chaos, she would be more confident in getting rid of the secret letter.

Yan Chu nodded.

She curled up the corners of her mouth and looked happy.

"Then I wonder if the princess has any clues after trying so hard to set up a trap to catch someone?"

She just wanted to know if it was possible that Su Rong was responsible for this.

"She is just like me, she knows nothing about the Third Sister."

"But the princess is very smart, maybe she can really catch the mastermind behind this."

Don't let her be the one caught by then.

Shen Zhishu chuckled.

"She is responsible for the safety of the third sister, and catching the assassin is also her job. If she does a good job, she may be appreciated by my father. The princess does have her own unique insights on state affairs..."

Yan Chu talked about this in a rather eloquent manner.

It can be heard that he admires Su Rong very much in this aspect.

But as long as Shen Zhishu understands that Su Rong has no intention of taking action against her for this matter, she will be safe.

Before they knew it, they had been chatting for the entire afternoon.

Everyone had already moved into the inn, and the people who were watching the excitement on the streets had dispersed.

A pot of wine was also poured.

The two of them left the restaurant one after the other.

Su Rong waited for a whole day but still had no clues, and she couldn't help feeling depressed.

After returning to the palace in the evening, he hurried to find Yan Chu.
