After leaving the mansion, Shangguan Zimeng and Yan Kaiyu rode in the same carriage.

When the servants in the mansion saw this, they all talked about it.

"It seems that the rumors in the mansion are true. The prince really fell in love with the female assassin who assassinated him."

"I feel that the future princess doesn't look like an assassin at all. On the contrary, she looks very approachable."

"Yes, I saw her having dinner today, and she was extremely exaggerated and adorable."

"What do you know? Often powerful people don't show it on the surface. She is giving others a false impression. Our princess must be a powerful character."

……

At this time, housekeeper Liu came over and saw them gossiping behind their backs. He cursed, "Have you finished your work?! If you talk about the master again, I will cut off your tongues."

The maids knew that housekeeper Liu had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and was usually very friendly to them. Even if they were scolded by him, they were willing to do so, and they all dispersed with laughter and went back to work.

On the way to the palace, Shangguan Zimeng apologized to Yan Kaiyu for the jade pendant: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that the jade pendant meant so much to you. I shouldn't have said that. Please forgive me, sir."

"Do you think I am such a petty person?"

"No, that's not what I meant. I just feel like I made you angry and I should apologize to you."

"Just return the one thousand taels of silver to this king."

This matter cannot be resolved.

"How about I return the jade pendant to you, since it means so much to you."

"It is not reasonable for me to return anything I give away."

"Then you must accept my apology, otherwise I will not feel at ease accepting this jade pendant."

"Alright, then I will reluctantly forgive you."

"Yeah. And don't always have such a sullen face, as if someone owes you money."

It doesn't seem right to say that.

Yan Kaiyu turned his head slightly and glanced at her, with a look that seemed to be saying, "You already owe me money."

Then he continued to look straight ahead, still with a stern face, and thought: Has my expression always been so serious?

Finally getting his forgiveness, Shangguan Zimeng was extremely happy. She had never ridden in such a nice carriage in her life and she had to enjoy it, especially since she had her male god by her side.

Although after chatting with him, he remained expressionless like a piece of wood, motionless and silent, I was already content to be able to sit next to him.

Shangguan Zimeng excitedly leaned on the car window and looked around. There were people selling snacks, fortune tellers, soliciting customers, performing acrobatics... There was everything on the street, the sounds of hawking were constant, and people were flowing in and out. This capital city was truly prosperous.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up and a plaque with "Sichunlou" inscribed on it came into view. Looking at the charming girls below, it was clear that this was a brothel.

Shangguan Zimeng's eyes rolled, and she had an evil thought. She turned around and smiled charmingly at Yan Kaiyu and asked, "Your Highness Prince Yan, are you interested in these? Have you ever been inside?"

Yan Kaiyu listened to the voices of the prostitutes outside soliciting customers, and naturally knew what she was talking about. She glanced at her proudly, then looked straight ahead, not wanting to pay any attention.

"That means you are interested. No, you must have been in there before."

Shangguan Zimeng didn't believe that such a rich and powerful man would not have such needs, unless he was a homosexual.

Wow, that’s exciting just thinking about it.

Yan Kaiyu took a long breath, unable to bear it any longer.

"What I'm interested in is whether you're worth a thousand taels of silver if I sell you there."

When Shangguan Zimeng heard that he wanted to sell her out, she immediately became anxious: "Ah! How can you be so cruel?"

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

Shangguan Zimeng smiled again after hearing this. She knew that although her male idol looked dull, he must be very kind at heart and would not be so cruel.

"I knew you still couldn't bear to let go, right?"

"Who gave you the confidence? A Daluo Immortal?"

"..."

"What I mean is that I will sell you in and redeem you, and let you work in the mansion for the rest of your life, without any freedom or opportunity to change your life."

Damn, were all men in ancient times so vicious?

"And you have to pay me one thousand taels of silver."

"..."

Shangguan Zimeng had nothing to say. She sat obediently aside and didn't dare to make any trouble, for fear that he would really sell her to a brothel. She planned to pretend to be dead from now on all the way to the palace.

But that was what she intended, but someone didn't allow her to do it.

Life is always unpredictable, and life is full of excitement and surprises.

The sound of an arrow was heard not far away. Yan Kaiyu and Shanggong Zimeng both heard it and wanted to protect each other at the first moment.

Shangguan Zimeng was quick-witted and acted before him, catching the arrow with her bare hands and protecting her husband in a domineering manner.

But the arrow was really fast, and although I caught it, it caused a wound on my palm, and blood flowed out, staining the arrow shaft red.

Yan Kaiyu felt distressed and took out a handkerchief to help her stop the bleeding. At the same time, he was furious and ordered, "Chase them and kill them without mercy."

Upon hearing this, Wudu immediately dismounted and went after the assassin, leaving only a group of guards to guard the carriage.

The originally bustling streets were no longer noisy, and the people stopped to watch, but they were not afraid. They were used to this kind of thing, and everyone in the entire Ziling country knew about it.

Whenever Prince Yan went out, someone would try to murder him.

"Don't be so reckless next time. What if something goes wrong?"

Shangguan Zi dreamed that he cared about her, she forgot the pain and laughed heartily.

"What are you laughing at? Are you scared?"

"You are the one who is scared silly. I am just happy."

Of course it's worth being happy if you have the ability to protect the people you love.

"Don't do this next time without my permission. It's too dangerous."

"Okay, got it, no need to bother with nonsense."

I just heard that Wudu went after the assassin. What if this is the enemy's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain?

Moreover, Yan Kaiyu hid the fact that he knew martial arts from the outside world, and he would certainly not use it in public. Although no one knows why he did so, he must have his reasons.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Zimeng asked worriedly: "Wu Du went after the assassin. What if this is a trick of the enemy? Can your guards stop him?"

The reason she said this was because she knew very well that the arrow she had just caught with her bare hands was done subconsciously based on the original owner's muscle memory.

She only occupies this body in vain. No matter how high the original owner's martial arts skills are, they are ultimately controlled by her novice consciousness. If she wants to bring the original owner's martial arts skills to the original level, she must practice hard in the future.

But now the situation is dangerous and imminent, and the mediocre Taekwondo skills she learned are of no use here.

If this is really the enemy's strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, I'm afraid we will be bloodied on the spot.

Yan Kaiyu smiled knowingly: "Little girl, you think a lot. How do you know that I will bring Wudu, a master, with me when I go out?"

Shangguan Zimeng understood immediately after hearing this. There must be his secret guards protecting him in the crowd. The ancients were indeed smart. "I see. That's great!"

"That's natural."

Hearing her praise him, Yan Kaiyu looked proud, and at the same time ordered the driver: "Try to speed up and get to the palace, and don't hit pedestrians."

"Yes!"

Shangguan Zimeng felt very warmed when she heard the last sentence. She felt that beneath his cold and handsome appearance, he had a very warm heart. She was not wrong about him.
