This spring hunt attracted many daughters and daughters of imperial officials. They would not miss such a great opportunity. So everyone was vying to perform. Cheng Mingran just took a look. She had no interest in it.

Because she knew in her heart that Ji Lingzhou would not have any interest in these people. No, he seemed to have no interest in anyone at all. Although there were countless beauties in the harem, Ji Lingzhou rarely went to the harem, and he had no real concern for anyone.

Now when she looked at the people below, she just felt very sad, because she was just like them now, always wanting to attract Ji Lingzhou's attention.

But now... it's different. She looked at these noble ladies and felt funny. There were countless people trying to get in the palace, but there was also a group of people who wanted to get out even if it meant losing their lives.

People outside want to come in, people inside want to go out, but those who have come in with great difficulty find themselves unable to leave when they want to after a long time.

The funniest thing is that everyone inside told them not to go in, but no one was willing to listen. Is this a curse? A curse that can never be broken. You have to wait until you hit your head and bleed to realize how stupid you were.

Cheng Mingran drank some wine on her own. Although she was not drunk, her mind was a little fuzzy. She wanted to find an excuse to go back to the tent, but before she could get up, she heard someone shouting, "Your Majesty, be careful! Protect the emperor!"

Cheng Mingran's heart was shocked. What was going on? Before she could react, Ji Lingzhou had already hugged her into his arms, and the dancer who was dancing below had rushed up with a knife in her hand.

The key point is that she was not the only one. The eunuch who was holding the tea next to her also knocked the teacup to the ground, and then took out a dagger, causing chaos at the scene.

Cheng Mingran was shocked by the scene before her eyes. How could someone assassinate someone in such a situation? Who?

"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll protect you." Ji Lingzhou's voice rang in Cheng Mingran's ears. Cheng Mingran was just surprised and didn't seem to be afraid.

However, the feeling of being protected in someone's arms seemed pretty good. She was tightly wrapped in Ji Lingzhou's arms and had no idea what was going on outside.

Ji Lingzhou was worried that she would be frightened. After all, she was stabbed last time something like this happened. It was absolutely impossible for something like that to happen again this time.

Cheng Mingran didn't know how long she had been waiting. It was not until the sound of swords and sabers outside gradually died down that Ji Lingzhou loosened his hand slightly.

"Are you scared?" Ji Lingzhou's voice was gentle.

Cheng Mingran shook her head and when she looked behind her, she found that the people who should be arrested had already been arrested, and today's farce was quickly settled.

"Your Majesty," Cheng Mingran shouted.

"Yeah." Ji Lingzhou responded.

"What happened today..." There was some worry in Cheng Mingran's eyes.

"I'll have someone investigate it. It's okay. It's over." Ji Lingzhou said.

What Cheng Mingran was worried about was not this, but that the safety of this hunting trip was the responsibility of the Cheng family. Now that something like this had happened, she was worried that the Cheng family would be charged with some crime.

"I'll have someone take you back to the tent first, okay?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

Cheng Mingran gently pulled her sleeve: "Your Majesty, the Cheng family is also responsible for what happened today. But..." She wanted to excuse the Cheng family, but she didn't know where to start. After all, the Cheng family did fail in their duty.

Ji Lingzhou knew what she meant, so he reached out to comfort her: "It's okay, I know what you want to say. Don't worry, I've said before that I will protect you and the Cheng family."

After hearing Ji Lingzhou's words, Cheng Mingran felt relieved. She was sent back to the tent with a lot on her mind, and it was heavily guarded all around.

Shuhua knew that his wife was frightened, so he came in to accompany her. Ji Lingzhou also asked someone to make a soothing soup. Unfortunately, Cheng Mingran was in no mood at the moment. She was just a little worried that today's matter was not over yet.

Although Ji Lingzhou had just said those words, she still didn't dare to trust him completely, so she kept waiting and didn't go to bed.

It was already very late when Ji Lingzhou returned to the tent. As soon as he came in, he found Cheng Mingran still sitting in the room. He immediately frowned in disapproval.
