Chapter 552: Assassination at the Inn
Chapter 552: Assassination at the Inn
Originally, he thought that Prince An's Mansion would remain neutral. He couldn't get the support of Prince An's Mansion for the Second Prince, and the same was true for the First Prince and the Third Prince, so he didn't need to worry too much.
Unexpectedly, after he gave up Prince An's Mansion, his daughter brought him such important news. It seems that God is still on the side of the Second Prince.
He couldn't help but feel happy when he thought about the Second Prince's promise that as long as he took that position, he would make his daughter the queen.
After all, his daughter became the queen, so he was a true royal relative. Plus, with his status as prime minister in the court, he would be able to walk all over the capital in the future.
Suddenly he stopped walking, thinking about what his daughter said, which had not been fully confirmed yet, so he should not be happy too early, and he calmed down immediately.
Another thing is that his daughter once told him that she wanted to marry the third prince, which gave him a headache.
But on second thought, it’s not a big deal.
Since ancient times, children's marriages have been decided by their parents and matchmakers. Even if the daughter is unwilling, as long as the matchmaker nods, she will have to get into the bridal sedan obediently.
He was originally looking forward to the Third Prince's return to the court, but the Second Prince was not ready yet and would be put in a passive position.
Now it seems that as long as the Second Prince seizes the time and wins over Prince An's Mansion, his chances of winning are still quite good.
Prime Minister Yun was planning to have his daughter go to Prince An's Mansion to recognize her relatives. Shen Yu was rushing back home. She didn't know yet that her identity as the young lady of Prince An's Mansion, which she relied on, was about to be replaced by someone else, and the promise she made to the eldest prince could not be fulfilled.
When she returned to Prince An's Mansion, she did not go to the courtyard where she lived, but went directly to the old lady. She still had to say more good things about the eldest prince to the old lady, so that the old lady would agree to let her marry the eldest prince.
Li Mengyue was still on her way back to Beijing. She didn't know that before she even arrived in Beijing, two girls were already eyeing her identity as the legitimate daughter of Prince An's Mansion.
At this time, she left Xianyun County with her four babies and set out again on the journey back to Beijing.
The atmosphere of this journey was a bit heavy compared to the previous ones. Li Mengyue thought about what happened the night she stayed at the Jixiang Inn, and she still felt a little scared when she thought about it now.
Fortunately, when she entered Xianyun County, she had a bad premonition. Although there was no reason for the woman's sixth sense, she still believed that something bad would happen, so she became more vigilant.
Not only did she stay alert herself, she also asked Qing Ning and the secret guards to be prepared for being besieged.
Sure enough, her feeling was correct. Just after midnight, hundreds of killers appeared.
Besides the number of killers that surprised her, she was also surprised by the fact that each killer had advanced martial arts skills and was not just a third-rate martial artist.
It was obvious at first glance that the other party had made great efforts and was willing to save her and the baby's lives at any cost.
How did she know that the killers' target was her and the baby? It was because all the killers, regardless of whether they would get hurt, aimed at her and the baby with every move, and every move was deadly.
Although she had given birth more than three months ago and her body had almost recovered, it was still far from her previous peak condition.
The key point was that she had to protect her baby while dodging the assassin, so she was subject to various restrictions, which resulted in her being unable to exert her full strength and she was accidentally stabbed several times.
However, the injuries were not vital, so she did not take it seriously. Besides, when she was a killer, bleeding and getting injured were commonplace. Getting injured to protect the baby was nothing.
What was hard for her to accept was that she almost lost Sibao. When she saw the enemy's sword about to hit Sibao, her heart almost stopped beating.
Fortunately, Qing Ning was quick to protect Sibao under her body, and did not let Sibao get hurt at all.
But Qing Ning was not so lucky. He was stabbed in the back by the enemy. Fortunately, the sword hit him only a finger's distance from his heart and he did not die on the spot.
When she saw that Sibao was almost injured, she was stimulated and took out a submachine gun from the space. She fired a burst of shots, and all the assassins fell down quickly without any escape.
Three days had passed since she was besieged by assassins, but every time she thought about how she almost lost her four treasures, her heartbeat would accelerate sharply, as if someone was holding a war drum and beating it wildly in her chest. Every time her heart beat, she would feel a strong sense of uneasiness, making her feel as if she was surrounded by threats.
To be honest, she never thought that she would feel panic.
You have to know that she was brought into a killer organization before. In order to survive, she had to face all kinds of dangers and had to learn how to kill.
I still remember that she had escaped from desperate situations many times and had brushes with death. She was always extremely calm and felt that being alive was worse than being dead. She had no fear of death at all.
But now her mood has changed and she is very afraid of death. She knows very well why she has changed like this, it is because she is a cute baby.
Since the birth of her first, second, third and fourth babies, she has experienced firsthand the responsibilities of being a mother. Looking at the adorable and soft babies, she no longer has the fearlessness she used to have. Instead, she has become timid. She will think twice before doing many things, wondering if they will affect the babies and whether they will be good for the babies' healthy growth.
She does not reject the changes that the four babies have brought to her, but rather enjoys them.
She is also very grateful to her four babies, which gives her the opportunity to be a mother and take care of the babies' food, housing and transportation herself.
She knew that she had ties to this world and could no longer let go of her four babies.
She no longer has a laissez-faire attitude towards completing tasks, but will go all out to help more poor people, so that they can get rid of the life of hunger and cold clothes, and even have enough food at home so that they no longer have to worry about survival.
And her efforts from last year to this year have finally paid off. Although the task of collecting gratitude points has not been completed, she is only five million short.
In other words, as long as she collects another 5 million gratitude points, she can survive in this world and Tuanzi can restore all his functions.
It is worth mentioning that the gratitude value has reached 95 million, and Tuanzi’s previous functions have been restored to 50%.
Tuanzi said that with her current abilities, she would be able to fight even if she met Xiaojiantong, and she would not be beaten or have her main chip destroyed.
After hearing this news, she was not worried about going to the capital to confront Yun Ran, and Tuanzi would be captured by Xiao Jiantong and then killed.
After all, ever since she knew that the host bound to Xiao Jiantong was Yun Ran, she has been worried about confronting Yun Ran. Tuanzi is no match for him, but once they arrive in the capital, they will meet one day, and it is not a solution to keep avoiding him.
