Just when Chu Huanyan fell off the edge of the observation deck, she exerted force and threw her wide sleeves towards the railing of the observation deck.

Almost at the same moment, a dagger was thrown accurately, nailing the sleeve to the railing.

Chu Huanyan pulled her sleeves and hung on the edge of the railing of the observation deck.

On the observation deck, everyone came to their senses and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Chu Huanyan up before her sleeves broke. Xiao Jinzhi also secretly sat down again.

Xiao Rongxuan's face was as dark as if he had been fished out of ink. This time, he could see clearly that someone was hiding in the tree not far away, and the dagger was shot out from the tree.

If Xiao Jinzhi hadn't been prepared, it would have been the people brought by Chu Huanyan!

Xiao Rongxuan gritted his teeth and was about to speak, but the next moment, Chu Huanyan shouted in panic before him.

"There is an assassin! Your Highness, Third Prince, please send someone to arrest the assassin!"

Xiao Rongxuan glanced at Chu Huanyan.

The latter looked flustered and frightened, looking innocent and weak.

Are you trying to clear up the relationship?

Xiao Rongxuan waved his hand, and someone immediately approached the big tree. However, the tree was empty. Yun Chen had already quietly left Liuyun Garden while everyone was panicking.

"Your Highness, there is no one."

"Search immediately and no one suspicious will be let go."

Xiao Rongxuan spoke coldly, and the next moment he looked at Chu Huanyan again, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

"Miss Chu, does that person in the dark have something to do with you?"

Chu Huanyan was stunned and looked directly at Xiao Rongxuan with an innocent and surprised face, "Why did the third prince say this?"

"The assassin saved you just now. If it hadn't been for him, I'm afraid now..." Xiao Rongxuan paused, glanced at Xiao Jinzhi, who was still sitting on the chair, and then continued, "You have already fallen."

"Your Highness doesn't know. Just now, I saw clearly from the high platform that the pillar did not collapse on its own, but was destroyed by someone. I guess it was not someone from His Highness's house who did it, so the person who did it must be related to The assassins in the dark are in a group. As for the dagger..."

Chu Huanyan paused slightly and said with lingering fear.

"Maybe it was used to kill my daughter, but it was just a little slow, and it happened to hit my sleeve."

This was what she and Yun Chen had agreed upon. When she saw Gaotai before, she had roughly guessed what Xiao Rongxuan wanted to do.

If you really fall from this height, even if you don't die, you will probably break your hands and feet. Although this method seems simple and crude, it is actually better than simple and crude. Even if Xiao Jinzhi knew the temptation, if he really cared, he still couldn't ignore it.

Therefore, she made an agreement with Yun Chen. If she really fell from the high platform, she would find a way to jump to the observation deck, while Yun Chen took the opportunity to shoot the dagger with all his strength and nailed his sleeve.

Although this method was a bit risky, she believed in Yun Chen.

"Hmph, did Miss Chu offend someone? Otherwise, why would someone want to kill you for no reason?" Xiao Rongxuan said with a cold snort.

"I don't understand." Chu Huanyan frowned and thought for a moment, "But I can see clearly that someone did deliberately destroy the high platform. As for the dagger just now, if it wasn't for killing my daughter, then Could it be that the assassin wanted to cause chaos by destroying the high platform, thereby... assassinating others?"

After the words fell, Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi deliberately.

The latter was sitting on the chair. When he heard this, his face instantly darkened and he looked at Xiao Rongxuan.

"Third brother, could that dagger be aimed at Gu?"

Xiao Rongxuan's expression changed.

Assassinating the prince is not a trivial matter, and it is still in his own mansion, so naturally he cannot let such rumors spread.

"Brother Huang is joking. Not to mention that this is just Miss Chu's guess, and there are so many people present. Even if there is an assassin, it may not be for Brother Huang. Besides, after all, why would someone want to assassinate you. "

"Maybe, after all, Gu Fengliu is suave and looks better than Pan An. Maybe there are some ugly young people who are jealous, so they want to kill him."

Xiao Jinzhi's tone was serious. He paused and looked Xiao Rongxuan up and down.

"Otherwise, let Dali Temple come and investigate carefully to see if the pillar has been damaged and whether the murderer can be caught."

Xiao Rongxuan's expression froze, and he raised his hands and said: "I'd better let my brother investigate first, so that I won't bother Dali Temple."

"It's okay to let third brother check, but the final result..."

"Brother, don't worry. I will give you an explanation at that time."

After a few words, Dali Temple was almost involved. Naturally, Xiao Rongxuan couldn't continue to embarrass Chu Huanyan.

Due to the episode just now, the banquet ended here. Everyone looked at the collapsed high platform and left the Third Prince's Mansion with lingering fear. As for the so-called leader, they did not go to the selection.

However, Chu Huanyan first won the game of chess, then danced on the high stage, and also revealed the identity of Mr. Shen Xi's only female disciple. If we talk about it, she was the only one who stole the show at this meandering wine banquet today.

Outside the house, Yun Chen was already waiting in his car. After Chu Huanyan and Liu Zhaoran said goodbye, they got into the carriage and left straight away.

In the Third Prince's Mansion, after everyone left, Liu Qianran left and returned to Xiao Rongxuan's study.

"When Chu Huanyan's accident happened just now, did you notice anything strange about Xiao Jinzhi?"

Because of the cold light of the dagger, his attention was focused on the tree. When he turned around, he only saw Xiao Jinzhi sitting peacefully on the chair.

However, Liu Qianran was behind Xiao Jinzhi at that time, so he should know best if Xiao Jinzhi made any changes.

Liu Qianran thought of Xiao Jinzhi's obvious move to get up. When he met Xiao Rongxuan's questioning eyes, he finally shook his head.

"No?"

"Aside from being a little surprised, there is nothing wrong with him." Liu Qianran replied.

Xiao Rongxuan frowned, "Could it be that this prince is really overthinking? The only contact between him and Chu Huanyan was because of Chu Ziyuan."

Liu Qianran lowered his eyes, "Even if there was some contact, His Highness the Crown Prince was indifferent at such a critical moment just now. It seems that he does not care about Miss Chu's safety."

"If that's the case, then I'm afraid it's impossible to threaten Xiao Jinzhi by taking advantage of Chu Huanyan." The displeasure between Xiao Rongxuan's brows became even stronger.

Forget it, although Chu Huanyan is not good at it, sooner or later he will surely find Xiao Jinzhi's weakness!

……

the other side.

On the way back home, Chu Huanyan was distracted looking at the Nuan Jade Chess in her hand.

It wasn't until the carriage stopped that she closed the chess box again and walked off.

"Miss, you see that is..." The reminder of the crescent moon sounded.

As soon as Chu Huanyan stood firm, she saw a woman at the door of the Hou Mansion. Her hair was messy and her clothes were messy. She was arguing with the boy guarding the door.

Hearing the sound of the carriage, the woman turned her head subconsciously.

Seeing the other party's face clearly, Chu Huanyan was happy, Chu Wanyan?
