After all, he didnât say anything wrong.
With that thought, the person following them felt justified and left.
Chashan quickly went to the study to report this matter to the Prince.
âPrince, your foresight is truly amazing. Today, the Princess Consort has gone out to meet other men again!â Chashan exclaimed. âAt this rate, wonât the King of Chen and Prince of Huai have a chance to ridicule us?â
âWhatâs there to mock?â Li Hongyuan said indifferently.
âAfter all, our Princess Consort⦠doesnât adhere to the rules,â Chashan said. âThe Main Consorts of the other lords are much more restrained, never setting foot outside their palaces.â
âWell, thatâs only because they married boring women.â
âPrince, arenât you also annoyed by the Princess Consortâs behavior? Why do you think sheâs interesting now?â
âAfter all, only my Princess Consort can bear a son,â Li Hongyuan said calmly. âNo matter how proper and well-behaved their Princess Consorts are, they wonât be able to produce an heir.â
Chashan laughed, âThatâs true. It wonât be long before Prince of Yuâs palace has a legitimate heir. This is a great joy.â
Li Hongyuan asked, âWhat did you just say?â
âAh? Oh, right, I just said that the Princess Consort is eating with an unrelated man outside again,â replied Chashan.
âAnother man?â
Li Hongyuanâs brush in his hand snapped with a crack.
âIt seems that she really doesnât know what being a wife means if you donât discipline her. Chashan, prepare the horses!â
âAt your command!â
Chashan happily followed him out the door.
The steamed bun shop.
Jiang Ning had eaten her fill and felt the baby in her belly moving lively, so she lazily didnât want to move. It seemed like Xiaoqian was tired of playing as well, and leaned against her arm, quietly playing with a clay figurine.
After Huang Ying and Xiaoman finished eating, they paid the bill and said, âMiss, you must be tired, letâs go back and take a midday rest. It seems that the little prince is tired from playing too.â
Jiang Ning looked at the little boy in her arms, his soft, tender and fair face laying trustingly and dependently against her.
She touched his forehead and softly asked, âXiaoqian, do you want to go home with Auntie?â
The child yawned, showing that he was indeed sleepy.
Jiang Ning let him sit on her intact left leg and embraced him.
She then asked Huang Ying to push the wheelchair.
The imperial guards were waiting at the entrance.
As soon as the wheelchair appeared, before they could walk over, Jiang Ning suddenly felt an intense chill down her spine, as if disaster was about to strike.
âHuang Ying, go back to the shop!â
Just as she shouted, dozens of arrows shot towards them from the opposite side.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
One arrow was aimed straight at Jiang Ning and Xiaoqianâs wheelchair.
Without a thought, Jiang Ning hugged Xiaoqian tightly, protecting him in her embrace.
The arrow grazed Jiang Ningâs arm and flew by.
A wave of pain hit her.
Jiang Ning was filled with fear.
She wasnât afraid of the arrow, nor was she afraid because she was injured.
She was terrified that one of the arrows might have hit Xiaoqianâs body!
She was so scared that she didnât dare to look down and check Xiaoqianâs condition, she just held him tightly.
Xiaoqianâs guards reacted quickly, and with Li Hongyuan and his followers rushing to the scene on horseback, they quickly captured those assassins.
However, those assassins were all men prepared to die, and they didnât expect to have a chance to fire a second wave of arrows. They only had one opportunity.
If they failed, they knew they would face hell.
When they were captured, they swallowed poison to commit suicide.
Li Hongyuan, with his sword in hand and a cold look on his face, demanded, âChashan, investigate who these people are and who sent them!â
