During the hunting season, no one except the royal family and invited guests was allowed to enter. How did the assassin get in? There must be something behind this.”

The princess wondered, "Could it be a ghost?" She looked at the dying Su Huan. Su Huan had just arrived in the capital and should not have had any enemies. So who was it and why did they attack him?

Su Rong'an remained silent, just stood there quietly, as if he was lost in deep thought.

Baili Yue was anxiously waiting for news, looking into the tent through the crowd.

Just then, she noticed a blood-covered figure standing not far away.

It was the maid who had just carried Su Huan back.

The woman was holding a long sword and had a murderous look on her face, making people afraid to approach her.

Baili Yue recognized her as Ye Yunzi's personal maid.

"You should go get treatment as soon as possible. It looks like you are seriously injured." Baili Yue said with concern.

But Leng Xue's eyes were always fixed in the direction of the forest, and a rare expression of anxiety appeared on her face.

She is waiting for the lady to return.

Suddenly, a horse came galloping.

Seeing this, Leng Xue's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she hurried forward.

"Sir, Miss..." Leng Xue called softly.

The horse stopped and Shen Siyan's tall and straight figure came into view.

He was holding a woman, Ye Yunzi, tightly in his arms. The blood from her shoulder stained Shen Siyan's clothes red.

Shen Siyan gently carried Ye Yunzi off the horse.

Seeing this scene, Leng Xue finally felt relieved.

"Sir..." Leng Xue opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Shen Siyan, "Hurry up and treat her wound."

"Understood." Leng Xue quickly took Ye Yunzi, walked towards another tent, and immediately summoned the imperial physician for treatment.

"Yunzi is back?" Su Rong'an was very excited when he heard the news. He immediately stood up and went outside the tent. "How is she?"

"The young lady was slightly injured, but her life is not in danger." Leng Xue replied.

Su Rongan hurried out of the tent and happened to meet Shen Siyan who was standing not far away.

Their eyes met, and Shen Siyan's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

Someone nearby explained, "Master Shen found the injured young lady while hunting in the forest, and he quickly sent her back."

"It's all thanks to Master Shen!" Su Rong'an said gratefully, "I will come to thank you in person when I return to the capital!"

Shen Siyan just nodded silently.

Su Rong'an realized that there were still many things to deal with, so he politely said goodbye.

Knowing that Ye Yunzi had fainted only because of weakness and a cold, in addition to the wound on her shoulder, Su Rongan felt a little comforted: "As long as you rest well and take medicine, you will recover soon."

After sending the imperial physician away, Su Rong'an told everyone else to leave, leaving only himself to accompany Ye Yunzi.

After a while, Ye Yunzi slowly opened her eyes.

"Uncle..." she called softly, trying to smile, "Where's Su Huan?"

At this moment, the tent was full of care, and everyone hoped that Ye Yunzi would recover soon.

He finally came back, and the imperial physician had treated his wounds.

Ye Yunzi breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that Su Huan was safe and sound, her frown relaxed.

Su Rongan looked at her distressedly and stroked her hair gently. "You clearly knew that the forest was full of dangers, so why did you go there alone? If something really happened, how would I explain it to your mother?"

Ye Yunzi stared at Su Rongan and said calmly, "He can't make any mistakes."

"The fate of the entire Su family depends on him, so he must be safe and sound," she continued.

Su Rongan hesitated to speak, and finally uttered only two words: "Yunzi..."

"Uncle, I know that Su Huan is not only your adopted son, he also has another identity." Ye Yunzi's tone remained calm, as if she had already expected this scene.

The tent suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became subtle and tense. Su Rongan stared at her for a long time, feeling mixed emotions and disbelief.

After a long silence, Su Rongan sighed and admitted: "Yes, Heng'er is not my biological child."

But he immediately added: "I can't tell you his true identity yet. Just pretend that this incident never happened."

Ye Yunzi smiled slightly, as if she didn't care. "No matter who Su Huan is, as long as he doesn't pose a threat to the Su family, it's fine."

Although her words were simple, they revealed her loyalty to her family, which made her willing to take the risk to save him.

The pain in her shoulder made her face look even paler.

Su Rongan stroked her head lovingly, "You've suffered so much this time. Although you did the right thing, you must not act so rashly in the future. After all, you are your mother's only precious daughter. If anything happens to you, she will be heartbroken."

Ye Yunzi nodded slightly and accepted the instruction.

"Have a good rest now. Let me know if you need anything." After saying that, Su Rong'an left the tent.

Soon, the maid Yu Shu rushed in, her eyes swollen like peaches, "Miss, from now on, no matter where you go, please take me with you. Even if it costs my life, I will protect you."

Ye Yunzi felt warm in her heart, and felt the sincere emotion. "Okay, I promise you."

"Really? Don't regret it!" Yu Shu asked seriously.

"I will never regret it." After getting a positive answer, Yu Shu wiped away her tears, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked: "Miss, Leng Xue is also seriously injured, please send someone to help her!"

Ye Yunzi suddenly realized that she had almost forgotten about this matter because she was so confused.

"Go and get the doctor, and bring him all the medicines in my tent."

If Leng Xue hadn't risked her life to fight the assassin, they would probably have died long ago.

"Yes, sir!" Yu Shu responded and quickly left the tent.

Silence returned to the tent. Ye Yunzi fell into deep thought, trying hard to recall the abnormalities of the assassins. However, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember what it was.

At the edge of the hunting ground, the emperor, wearing a yellow hunting suit embroidered with dragon patterns, was selecting a bow and arrow in a majestic manner.

The servants around him were all walking on thin ice, looking worried, but they didn't dare to say much.

"emperor……"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

The emperor had not gone hunting in person for many years since his poor health, but today he was determined to go hunting.

Concubine Xian stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, there is news from the *** that assassins have appeared in the forest. Even if the entire imperial guards are dispatched, they cannot be captured. The back forest is very dangerous now..."

The emperor picked a bow that suited him and said firmly, "No problem, I will go hunting today."

"emperor……"

"I dreamed of a snow deer. It knelt down to salute me. This is a good sign!" The emperor laughed.

Seeing this, everyone stopped trying to dissuade him.

Empress Xian hesitated to speak and finally chose to remain silent.

At this time, the fourth prince Baili Ye stepped forward and said, "Father, let me accompany you."
