"Mom, mom, what are you thinking about? I've called you several times."

Yun Qianqian's shout brought Xu Xianglian back to her senses from her memories.

She shook her head, "Mother was just thinking about something, how is the wound, does it hurt?"

Yun Qianqian nodded. How could it not hurt? Those were two stabs. She had never suffered such a great pain since she was a child.

"Mother asked the kitchen to make some soothing soup with some painkillers in it. You'll be fine after drinking it. You should rest for a while..."

Xu Xianglian said.

Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the little maid came, "Princess, Madam, Prince Han is here..."

Xu Xianglian and Yun Qianqian looked at each other, and then Yun Qianqian said, "Hurry up and let the prince in."

After a while, the door of the house was opened, and Xiao Zhan, dressed in a black and gold robe, strode in.

He has a cold personality, and his handsome face never smiles. He has high brow bones, long eyebrows like swords, and cold eyes that are sharp, like ice and snow. At first glance, people will be immersed in his icy eyes, but feel cold in their hearts.

"Your Majesty..."

As soon as Yun Qianqian saw Xiao Zhan, her eyes were filled with tears and her face was delicate and tender.

On this side, Xu Xianglian was busy greeting Xiao Zhan.

"Your Highness has seen me."

"No gift."

Xiao Zhan raised his hand.

"what happened?"

Xiao Zhan frowned and looked at Yun Qianqian.

Yun Qianqian cried, "Your Highness, Qian'er doesn't know anything. The assassin suddenly rushed up to me and said he wanted to kill me. If someone hadn't passed by, Qian'er would not have been able to see Your Highness by now."

Yun Qianqian was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and I felt pity for her. I cried towards Xiao Zhan in grievance.

"Okay, why are you crying?"

Xiao Zhan frowned, his eyes were as deep as ice, and he immediately spoke softly.

Yun Qianqian's heart trembled, and she stopped crying, but she was still sobbing softly.

Xu Xianglian saw that Prince Han seemed impatient, so she stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Qian'er was assassinated by an assassin. She suffered a lot and her eyes were swollen from crying. Not only was her face scratched, but her neck was also strangled. The assassin wanted to kill people. If it weren't for the girl's good luck, she would have been..."

Xu Xianglian had a look of worry and pain on her face and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Your Highness, please don't blame Qian'er. She was in trouble, so she spoke without thinking and her attitude was a bit extreme. I'm here to apologize to Your Highness on her behalf."

Xu Xianglian said.

Xiao Zhan pursed his lips, his face cold, "No need."

After these two words fell, Xiao Zhan did not look at Xu Xianglian, but just said, "Madam, please go down first. I will talk to the concubine alone."

"Yes."

Xu Xianglian said hurriedly, and then glanced at Yun Qianqian and said, "Qian'er, talk to the prince nicely, don't get too emotional, your wound won't allow you to get excited, the imperial physician said you need to rest well."

Her voice was soft and seemed to be concerned, but she was admonishing Yun Qianqian not to panic and was also telling King Han that Yun Qianqian was seriously injured.

"Mother, I know."

Yun Qianqian nodded, and Xu Xianglian then walked out.

**

"Your Majesty..."

"what happened?"

After Xu Xianglian left with the child, only Xiao Zhan and Yun Qianqian were left in the room.

Yun Qianqian had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Xiao Zhan.

Yun Qianqian looked at Xiao Zhan with red eyes. He was standing there against the light, the warm glow of the setting sun shining on his face, he was handsome and yet extremely cold. He had always been cold to her, even when she was injured, even though she was his concubine and gave birth to a child for him, she never received any care from him.

"Your Majesty, Qianqian doesn't know what happened. I just went to Biyun Manor and was assassinated. Qian'er doesn't know the identity of the other party."

Yun Qianqian said delicately.

"Why would the assassin kill you for no reason?"

Xiao Zhan asked again, his voice cold and deep.

Yun Qianqian raised her head in panic, her eyes red, "Your Highness, what do you mean? Qianqian was assassinated, how could she know why the assassin wanted to kill me? She was masked, Qianqian didn't even know what she looked like."

Xiao Zhan was extremely indifferent to Yun Qianqian's tears. He only asked, "Then why did you abandon the maid and even go to the back alley of Biyun Manor alone without the secret guards?"

Yun Qianqian was stunned, and then she realized that Xiao Zhan had gone to question the maid, and he would definitely find out that the waiter from Biyun Manor had given her the note.

She knew she couldn't hide it, so she said immediately, "Your Highness, Qianqian received a note with a message on it, saying that she was to go to the back alley of Biyun Manor alone to tell her something important, so I asked the maid to wait and I rushed over myself."

Yun Qianqian lowered her eyes, suppressed the panic in her heart, and spoke out.

Xiao Zhan was standing aside. Hearing this, his cold eyes narrowed. "Just because you received a note from a stranger, you abandoned your attendants and went to the back alley? Yun Qianqian, do you think I'm a fool? So what was written on the note?"

Xiao Zhan stared at her closely, and the sharp sense of oppression made her breathing heavier.

Yun Qianqian felt frightened by his cold gaze, knowing that if she lied, it would be full of loopholes. She pursed her lips, her heart filled with panic.

The next moment, Xiao Zhan shot his eyes at her like a sharp arrow, "Yun Qianqian, what are you hiding from me?"

The tone was full of warnings, and Yun Qianqian trembled. How could she dare to tell the truth? If the prince really found out the truth of that year, she would be dead without a burial place.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness, the note said that Ruirui is in their hands. If you want the child to be safe, go to the back alley alone... I was extremely panicked at the time. I didn't think about anything else. I was just afraid that Ruirui might be in trouble, so I hurried over alone. Who knew that what was waiting for me was an assassination... Woo woo woo..."

Yun Qianqian covered her mouth and cried out.

Xiao Zhan's cold eyes narrowed slightly, "How could Ruirui be in trouble with his mother in the palace? Can you be fooled by a clumsy lie? Or did you lie?"

Xiao Zhan asked, his eyes fixed on Yun Qianqian's face.

Yun Qianqian's heart trembled, her whole body went cold, she suppressed her fear and cried, "Your Highness, why would I lie to you? I was really scared at that time. Your Highness, you know that Ruirui is my life. If anything happens to him, I won't live anymore."

After saying this, he lay down on the bed and cried.

Xiao Zhan pursed his lips, frowned tightly, and stared at her with a demanding and suspicious look.

Yun Qianqian didn't dare to answer and just cried, "I'm really scared, Prince, you know, Ruirui is my life. If anything happens to him, I won't live anymore."

After saying this, he lay down on the bed and cried.

Xiao Zhan's face was extremely gloomy. He pursed his lips and frowned tightly. The next moment he said, "Okay, Ruirui is fine. You are injured, so stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion and have a good rest. As for the assassin, I will find that person."

Xiao Zhan said with a sinister look in his eyes. No matter who the assassin was, if he dared to attack Yun Qianqian in public, it would be a provocation to him. But what was the assassin's purpose?

Xiao Zhan turned and left the room. Yun Qianqian suddenly collapsed on the bed, looking worried.

"Your Majesty."

As soon as Xiao Zhan left the house, his subordinate Jiang Li came to meet him. He looked gloomy, and his cold eyes looked at the setting sun. Then he said, "Seal off the city of Kyoto. I will dig three feet deep to find the assassin."
