Xiu'er picked up the large vase beside her and faced Zhou Yanhui.
Zhou Yanhui ignored her and quickly walked to the door.
"Your Majesty, there's an assassin!" Nanxing said in a deep voice, but stood firmly in front of Tang Zhuyun, not moving an inch. She then called to Xiu'er, "Stand back!"
Tang Zhuyun pulled Xiu'er to her side.
Xiu'er held onto the vase, refusing to let go.
"Put it down, there are guards here," Tang Zhuyun said. "Take care of yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sounds of swords clashing filled the air outside.
Xiu'er exclaimed nervously, "Your Majesty, Zhou Yanhui is back again!"
Sure enough, Zhou Yanhui around and came back.
This time, however, she was holding a sword.
--She just went to get her weapon from her subordinates.
She held a long sword, her face calm and stern, resembling a Greek beauty who had stepped out of a Western oil painting.
"I didn't bring the assassin," she said succinctly. At the same time, probably to avoid suspicion, she stood in the center of the room with her back to Tang Zhuyun and the others, looking on guard.
Nanxing: "The window!"
Zhou Yanhui forward.
Two assassins jumped in through the window, and she went to meet them.
Zhou Yanhui's skills were indeed clean and efficient.
Strangely, the two assassins didn't attack Tang Zhuyun, but instead went towards the window.
Nanxing remained motionless.
The three of them got into a fight.
Then, while they were fighting, the window fell down?
Hearing the loud crash of the window falling to the ground, Xiu'er looked at the crowd across the street and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, hide! Everyone over there is looking this way! Their target is you and Zhou Yanhui together!"
She stood up, turning her back to the window and blocking Tang Zhuyun.
However, it was too late.
Someone on the other side exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that the Consort of the Prince of Jin? And the Crown Prince of the Xia Kingdom! What are they doing together?"
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
She immediately sensed a conspiracy.
She's not that well-known yet.
Moreover, Zhou Yanhui her blonde hair and blue eyes, was clearly more eye-catching than her.
Uninformed bystanders should have first lent his name.
Zhou Yanhui a deep voice, "It might be Zong Heng. It's my fault; I was too careless!"
What could Tang Zhuyun say?
If we want to untangle this knot, the best way is for the Prince of Jin to be here as well.
But she had no idea where the Prince of Jin had gone.
"Xiu'er, do you know where the Prince went?" she whispered.
If it's nearby, it would be good if you could come over.
Xiu'er stamped her feet anxiously, "The Prince didn't say!"
Tang Zhuyun pulled her back. "It's alright, don't get agitated."
It's not like I caught them in the act; this is the only way I can console myself now.
Zong Heng is such a despicable and shameless person.
But now that things have come to this, nothing more can be done.
Tang Zhuyun, having nothing to lose, calmly said, "Sit down, everyone, let's continue drinking tea."
Zhou Yanhui was no ordinary person. He calmly sat down and said, "The tea has gone cold. Your Highness, if I were to reveal your true identity as a woman to the world and clear your name, would you give me half of Prince of Jin?"
Her tone was relaxed and playful, a far cry from her previous bitter and resentful demeanor.
Tang Zhuyun understood that the girl had probably taken some of her words to heart.
This is how she should be!
"That won't do. I won't give you even a single hair. Why don't you give me the territory of the Xia Kingdom?"
Men are like territory; not an inch can be given to others!
"How about I give you the Xia Kingdom in exchange for the Prince of Jin?"
"Am I stupid? Which is greater Central Plains University or Xia Kingdom?"
"If the Xia Kingdom were larger than the Central Plains, would you switch?"
Tang Zhuyun: "... I won't trade then."
"Your Highness!" Xiu'er exclaimed excitedly as she saw the tall figure appear at the door.
Never before had she felt such joy upon seeing the Prince of Jin.
My loved ones have finally arrived!
Tang Zhuyun and Zhou Yanhui looked in the direction of the sound.
Prince of Jin strode in, sat down beside Tang Zhuyun, and whispered, "A-Yun, are you alright?"
Tang Zhuyun was extremely surprised. "You, how did you get here?"
"I'm upstairs, talking to someone."
Although the two didn't flaunt their affection, their close posture and the way they looked at each other conveyed their love.
Zhou Yanhui her gaze, pretending to look out the window, her expression calm.
However, her hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.
She probably needs more time to adjust.
Tang Zhuyun exclaimed happily, "What a coincidence! Now let's see what those people are saying! It's Zong Heng, I'm telling you, it was Zong Heng who did this! Let's teach him a lesson!"
Go, Your Highness! Kill that bastard Zong Heng!
The Prince of Jin then asked, "What is she doing here?"
She consciously looked at Prince of Jin, only to find that his gaze had not left Tang Zhuyun at all. So she turned away sadly.
"It was a chance encounter, so we sat down and chatted," Tang Zhuyun said.
This isn't the place to talk. Let's discuss this at home.
The arrival of the Prince of Jin successfully broke the deadlock.
He was there, watching to see if anyone else was saying that she and Zhou Yanhui secret.
Xiu'er said, "No, they don't know!"
She walked to the window and shouted, "What's all this noise about? Can't you see the Prince is here? All of you staring at the Princess, don't you want your eyes out?"
The people opposite immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
Xiu'er clapped her hands, smiled smugly, and kept her achievements hidden.
Tang Zhuyun's gaze fell on the Prince of Prince of Jin's waist, and then her gaze suddenly stopped.
--The Prince of Prince of Jin's robe was not only wrinkled, but also had several dirty spots.
Moreover, there were faint traces of water?
Tang Zhuyun didn't ask, but said calmly, "Your Highness, let's go home."
The Prince of Jin nodded.
Tang Zhuyun smiled at Zhou Yanhui again, stood up to cover for Prince of Jin, and said, "If Your Highness has time in the future, you are welcome to visit the Prince's residence."
Zhou Yanhui nodded, her gaze falling on their clasped hands.
It turns out that their affection flowed so naturally.
Zhou Yanhui, remember this!
Think of this scene when you start having unrealistic fantasies again.
Back at the Prince's residence, Tang Zhuyun asked, "How did you get these clothes?"
The Prince of Jin said, "I had an appointment to have dinner upstairs today, but suddenly a dog came running up and kept trying to cling to me."
dog?
Wasn't the Prince of Jin universally disliked and hated?
Why is my popularity so high today that Zhou Yanhui my door to warn me? My connection with dogs has become quite mysterious.
Let alone dogs, even Jiaojiao, a tiger, would give way to the Prince of Jin!
The Prince of Jin said, "It's a very, very ugly dog. I've never seen one like it before. Later I learned it's from the south."
Based on his description, Tang Zhuyun quickly realized that it was a sandpiper.
"They're dogs from Prince of Min's Residence," Prince of Jin added. "I also saw the lady Qu Nian was marrying to bring good fortune."
Tang Zhuyun asked in surprise, "She's in the restaurant too?"
That seems to have made her realize the dog's identity—it must be the dog that caused a ruckus during the wedding night and killed the rooster during the wedding ceremony.
Good heavens, could that be a mad dog?
(Qu Nian: Woof woof!)
