Reborn on the wedding night, the regent princess said she knew she was wrong
Chapter 493: Assassination at the City Gate
Xuanming met with Saint Chuyi.
As soon as Sheng Chuyi came in, he apologized with a face full of apology: "I'm sorry, it was our negligence that put them in danger. I'm really sorry."
Seeing how sincere he was, Xuan Ming's remaining anger disappeared for the most part.
Xuan Ming asked Sheng Chuyi to sit down, and then asked seriously: "What do you think of the Qiong family? Now they still have the charm spirit in their hands. I absolutely cannot tolerate people like this who have ulterior motives to continue living in this world."
Sheng Chuyi pondered for a moment and replied firmly: "Your Highness, don't worry. I know what's going on and will handle this matter properly. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
After hearing this, Xuan Ming nodded slightly to show his approval.
Then, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Call me Your Majesty from now on."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Chuyi was stunned, not understanding why the name he had been calling for ten years suddenly had to change.
But he quickly came to his senses and agreed obediently: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Xuan Ming nodded with satisfaction, and added: "Remember, when you return, immediately tell your father everything and let him know the seriousness of this matter. This time, you must not be soft-hearted again, you must take action to completely solve this trouble."
Sheng Chuyi responded respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will report the truth to my father when I return. We will not be lenient this time."
Xuan Ming sighed, "If the Charm Spirit was in your family's hands, I wouldn't be so worried, but the Qiong family has evil intentions and treats the lives of the people as a joke. This is why I will never allow them to continue to exist."
He changed the subject and continued, "Oh, by the way, there is another thing I need to remind you of. The identity of the charmer has been exposed. It may come from the Qiong family of your continent. Other continents will be somewhat hostile to you, so you must be prepared."
Sheng Chuyi was stunned and quickly stood up, "Thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty. It seems that I have to return early. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Xuan Ming knew that the matter was quite serious, so he gave him a few more instructions and let him go.
"Brother, why do we have to leave early? I haven't finished shopping in the streets of Beijing yet." Sheng Chuhan asked in confusion.
At this time, the two men were already sitting in the carriage for the return trip, heading straight out of the city.
Sheng Chuyi said in a deep voice, "The Qiong family actually has a spirit, and they disguised themselves as Queen Xumi and caused trouble at the city gate. They have been exposed by the people on Xumi's side. Xumi now holds a grudge against our Shengqiong Continent. Other continents also know that the Qiong family has a spirit, and they probably won't let it go. We have to go back and tell Father in advance and make preparations as soon as possible."
Sheng Chuhan was surprised. "Wasn't the charm spirit killed a long time ago? How come there is still a charm spirit? Is there a mistake?"
Sheng Chuyi shook his head. "I'm not sure about that. After the Mei Clan was destroyed, all the continents quieted down. I didn't ask too much about it. I thought it had nothing to do with us."
He only heard that there were several continents that went to destroy the Mei Clan, but the First Continent, the Holy Family of the Second Continent, and the King's Continent did not participate, and the rest of the details were unclear.
Sheng Chuhan complained, "This Qiong family is really restless and annoying, like a ghost that won't go away. They think everyone loves the imperial power as much as they do. If they hadn't made the people suffer, we wouldn't want to clean up this mess."
"Shut up and don't talk nonsense." Sheng Chuyi scolded softly.
Sheng Chuhan lowered his voice, but still a little unconvinced, "I was telling the truth. If we were ordinary people, you and father would have a lot of skills, and we could make a living and live happily together. What's so good about being an emperor? Father is always busy, and now you are also busy. We are both in the palace, but it's hard to even see each other."
Sheng Chuyi laughed, "Alright, alright, you're getting more and more ridiculous. I know you haven't had enough fun, so I promise you, let's make a deal. After the Qiong family's affairs are over and the continents are stable, I will take you out to play and let father continue to take care of the government."
When Sheng Chuhan heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, "Really?"
Then she said with some distrust, "Will the emperor agree to let you leave the palace?"
"When has your brother ever failed to do what he promised you?" Sheng Chuyi touched Sheng Chuhan's head, but was objected by Sheng Chuhan.
"Oh, stop, stop, stop. Don't touch my hair. I worked so hard to comb it into a new style." Sheng Chuhan looked reluctant.
"You..." He was interrupted by the sound of swords outside before he could finish his words.
Sheng Chuyi's face turned cold. They had just left the capital, but some people couldn't hold back anymore. They were really anxious.
The carriage stopped without startling the horses.
Sheng Chuhan touched his chest and said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, my father had foresight. These four horses are war horses, and they are used to fighting and killing. If they were ordinary horses, I would have been thrown out long ago."
Sheng Chuyi sat in the carriage with a cold face and issued an order, "Just leave one person alive for questioning."
Sheng Chuyi didn't even lift the curtain of the carriage. Seeing that his brother had a sullen face, Sheng Chuhan also sat there obediently, without any curiosity to see what was happening outside.
She remembered her father saying that no matter what the situation, as the eldest princess, she must not show weakness in representing the face of the Holy Dome.
However, Sheng Chuyi noticed his sister's condition out of the corner of his eye.
Although she pretended to be calm on her face, her hands hidden under her sleeves were obviously shaking.
His expression gradually softened.
"Okay, come and sit down if you're scared. You still have your father and brother above you to support you. There's no need to force yourself to grow up too early." Sheng Chuyi said gently, and at the same time gently pulled Sheng Chuhan's sleeve.
When Sheng Chuhan heard this, he immediately moved to his brother's side like a kitten, then stretched out his hands and hugged his brother's arm tightly, saying coquettishly: "Thank you, brother!"
With tears of emotion in her eyes, she said, "Brother, I'm actually very scared."
This was the first time she encountered an assassination attempt. She had always stayed in the palace before, and occasionally left the palace to go to the capital. She was followed by a group of people openly and secretly, and she had never been in trouble.
Sheng Chuyi pulled his hand out, patted Sheng Chuhan on the back, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, they can't even get close to the carriage, don't worry."
Sheng Chuhan calmed down a little, but she was still a little frightened. She held on to the corner of Sheng Chuyi's clothes tightly, as if this would make her feel safer.
As soon as Sheng Chuyi finished speaking, his personal guard Cheng Qiong came forward to report: "Your Highness, Princess, the assassins have all been killed. The only survivor committed suicide. I didn't have time to question him. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Sheng Chuyi frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Don't blame you. I guess you can't get anything out of me. After all, no one under the emperor is stupid enough to use their own power to assassinate us. Let's continue on our way."
Now is not the time to investigate, we must ensure my sister's safety first.
The carriage started slowly, but Sheng Chuyi and Sheng Chuhan could not calm down for a long time.
This assassination was a wake-up call for them that things were about to change.
