She said to Aoxue again, "Can you contact other guards in the palace?" When Xie Shang left, he left someone for her, but she had been in the palace and had never seen them.

Aoxue took out a flare from her body and released it into the sky. "Okay, they will come here when they see the signal."

As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of Zhang's house, the place was already surrounded by people who came to watch the excitement. Jiang Fenghua opened the window and looked out. He was shocked to find that something had happened in Zhang's house and the fire was very big.

She got out of the car, but was stopped by Lin Yu. "If you have a stomachache, don't get off the car. There are too many people and I'm afraid you'll be squeezed. I'll go see what happened and come back to tell you before you make a decision."

Jiang Fenghua also had this concern and nodded, "Be careful and let the guards follow."

A moment later, Lin Yu came back panting, "I heard that the fire started in the courtyard of Duke Zhang. Most of the Zhang Mansion was burned down. The Zhang family also caught the murderer, who was Madam Zhang II."

"How is Duke Zhang?" Jiang Fenghua asked with concern.

Lin Yu said, "It is said that she must have died. The fire was so big, how could a person with disabled legs escape? Now the Zhang family is in chaos, the whole Zhang Mansion is filled with grief, and I heard that Madam Zhang is dying..."

"How could this happen? It must have been Madam Zhang Er who set the fire. How dare she?"

"I heard that she was holding a grudge... She was divorced by the second master of the Zhang family." Lin Yu repeated what he had heard.

Jiang Fenghua shook his head, "It won't be that simple."

She thought to herself: Ji Chen was rescued by Su Xuan, and now Su Xuan has returned to the border. It just so happened that something happened to the Zhang family, and the Su family cleared them out completely, but Ji Chen did not go to the border with them. Could he reach out to the Zhang family and instigate Mrs. Zhang Er?

Based on her understanding of Ji Chen, he is capable of doing anything that is against the law and morality.

If it really was him, Jiang Fenghua wanted to take a gamble as to whether he was also present at the scene now.

She told Lin Yu and Aoxue about her plan to lure the snake out of its hole, but they both opposed it.

Aoxue said, "No, my duty is to protect the safety of the princess and the young master."

Lin Yu's eyes flashed, "Perhaps the princess's suggestion is feasible, but it needs to be adjusted."

Just wait for Princess Heng to get out of the carriage and walk towards the Zhang Mansion.

At this moment, suddenly an arrow shot out from the darkness and shot directly at her.

"Princess, be careful, there is an assassin." Aoxue reacted quickly and pushed her away. Then another arrow was shot at her, and Aoxue drew out the soft sword at her waist to block it.

But Princess Heng, who was pregnant, was not so lucky. She fell to the ground wearing a large fur coat, looking as if she was seriously injured and in great pain.

The people around were originally focusing on the fire at Zhang's house, but suddenly someone shouted, "Princess, be careful, there is an assassin," and everyone was so scared that they all ran away with their heads in their hands.

For a moment, the scene became chaotic. Princess Heng and her maid were separated, leaving her alone, being pushed aside by the crowd and falling to the ground.

Aoxue was still dealing with the assassin. Even though she was quite skilled, she had no time to take care of the princess who was far away.

The lotus leaves were also pushed aside, and it seemed that they couldn't get through even if they wanted to.

Ji Chen hid in the corner, looking at the shaking heads. The blood in his body was flowing fast, as if he was very excited. Seeing that Jiang Fenghua was about to stand up, he put on his hooded cloak and rushed into the crowd with a dagger in his hand.

He just waited for him to slowly approach Jiang Fenghua, wanting to stab the dagger directly into Jiang Fenghua's stomach.

Just at this moment, Lin Yu, who was disguised as Princess Heng, was quick-witted and showed her martial arts skills. The dagger in her hand quickly and accurately cut Ji Chen's hand holding the dagger, directly severing his tendons.

He didn't expect that the other person was not Jiang Fenghua. Only when he got closer and saw her face clearly did he know who she was. She was the shopkeeper Lin of Xiangya Tower, a passionate and coquettish woman who actually knew martial arts.

He didn't expect that such a big thing had happened to the Zhang family. Jiang Fenghua had clearly arrived at the Zhang family, and based on her relationship with the Zhang family, she could still find someone to impersonate her.

The truth was revealed, Ji Chen endured the pain in his hand and tried to escape in the chaos, but Lin Yu didn't give him the chance. He rushed up and kicked him in the back, knocking him to the ground.

Ji Chen wore a hat that covered most of his face. It was dark, so Lin Yu didn't remember his face. She said, "Let me see who you are and who wants to hurt people."

Ji Chen crawled on the ground and wanted to grab Lin Yu with his backhand, but Aoxue suddenly jumped up and stepped directly on his body, and the sword in her hand flipped. She wanted to kill him last time, but let him escape.

Jiang Fenghua stopped her and said, "Aoxue, wait a minute." If he was really the one who set fire to the Zhang Mansion and killed Duke Zhang and his wife, he must give an explanation to the Zhang family and even to Zhang Yumo.

At this time, the archer also started to run away, but was blocked by a man with a cold body.

Soon, the palace's secret guards arrived and said, "Princess, I am sorry that you frightened me by being late."

Jiang Fenghua had never encountered such a thrilling thing before. Even life and death were just a matter of thought. She knew that this road would be full of thorns.

She turned her head quickly and only glanced at the secret guard. She had never seen this person in Prince Heng's mansion. She said calmly, "Go after the assassin first."

Aoxue wanted to chase after them together, but the man looked at her and said, "Qin Aoxue, you stay and protect the princess. Let the assassin chase them."

He then had someone take Ji Chen from Aoxue and lift up his cloak to reveal his true face.

Aoxue was stunned for a moment, "Yes."

Ji Chen never expected that he would fall into Jiang Fenghua's hands again. Anger spurted out of his eyes. Jiang Fenghua and Lin Yu had changed clothes and had been hiding in the car, which meant that she was alone just now. He said coldly, "Jiang Fenghua, why can you escape every time? What's going on? From the first time I saw you, I felt that you had hostility towards me in your eyes."

Jiang Fenghua stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Did you set the fire in Zhang's mansion?"

Ji Chen sneered, "I don't have the ability to enter the Zhang Mansion and kill people and set fire, and now I have fallen into your hands. You are so smart, don't you already know who set the fire?" It was Mrs. Zhang who set the fire, and it had nothing to do with him.

At this time, Lord Yang from the Wucheng Bingmasi arrived late. Looking at the chaotic scene, he quickly ordered people to suppress it and maintain order.

"I am sorry that I am late and frightened Princess Heng." Yang Zheng bowed to her. He had already interrogated the person who went to report the case and knew that it was Princess Heng who asked him to go, so he came in person. He didn't expect that the Zhang Mansion really was on fire.

Jiang Fenghua said, "Sir Yang, my princess's guards have caught the assassin who was trying to murder me.

At the same time, on the other side, seeing that Ji Chen's assassination attempt failed, Li Cheng raised a scornful smile at the corner of his lips and turned away.

In his eyes, Ji Chen is just a waste. He really doesn't know why Su Xuan saved him and even entrusted him with an important task.

Li Cheng didn't bother to pay attention to him. If Ji Chen hadn't asked him to come and see the show, he wouldn't have come.
