All the changes came so unexpectedly. The carriage suddenly shook violently, and even those who had experienced countless assassinations like Xu Yan and Yingchun were inevitably shocked.

Yingchun was about to lift the carriage curtain and look at the situation. The outside suddenly became bustling. Crying sounds filled the space in an instant. Xu Yan frowned, silently clasped Ningshuang in his hand, looked at Yingchun, ready to rush out to fight against unknown dangers at any time.

"Your Highness, don't go out of the carriage. I will always protect your highness's safety here." He Xun's voice came from outside the carriage, which was a great comfort at this moment.

Xu Yan knew that He Xun's martial arts could resist the vast majority of assassins. Moreover, there were many Spring Hunting Guards this time, and almost every minister was equipped with two masters. So she was not very worried about their safety. What she was most curious about now was the identity of these assassins. What was their behind-the-scenes thought? Why did she choose to attack when such a guard was the most severe?

There was a moment of silence outside the carriage, so quiet that Xu Yan was a little uneasy. Yingchun also felt this extraordinary atmosphere and spoke first: "Your Highness, it seems that you have captured the thief. I will go down to see the situation." Xu Yan was about to agree, but a sudden sound came outside.

Yingchun suddenly blocked Xu Yan and stared at the curtain of the car, fearing that the assassin had already arrived outside their carriage. However, after a while, a heart-wrenching cry came from a woman: "Your Highness! Your Highness, come out and take a look! Please let the imperial doctor save Lu Huai!"

When Xu Yan heard this, he immediately opened the curtain of the car. Outside the door was Peng Yue's crying face. She saw Xu Yan lifting the curtain, she knelt in front of Xu Yan, and kept kowtowing to Xu Yan: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I beg you to save Lu Huai! Lu Huai is almost out of reach!"

However, before Xu Yan could speak, a soldier came to the side and knelt down in front of Xu Yan to report: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is assassinated, the arrow is poisonous! Please go there quickly!"

Xu Yan was a little dizzy by the series of changes. Before she could understand what connection Lu Huai had with the assassination of the mother emperor, the soldier said again: "The envoy of Liang State, Ouyang Zuo, met and was assassinated!"

What?! Hearing this, Xu Yan immediately got off the carriage and rushed forward. If only Lu Huai and the Queen Mother were assassinated, it would be a matter of Xu's country, and it would be easy to deal with. If it was involved in the death of the envoy of Liang State in Xu State, it would be hard to say.

Xu Yan quickly walked forward, thinking about everything that had happened over the past few days in his mind. First, the Liang State fought with the Southern Kingdom, and then the Liang State came to Xu State to propose marriage. Then the Nanjun riots, Yun Qi was sent to Nanjun to fight and assassinate for war and was unknown, followed by the current mother emperor and the Liang State envoys assassinated. All of this seemed to be the same situation, and each step was moving forward according to the layout of the person behind the scenes.

If this is really not an accident, but a carefully planned situation, then the person behind the scenes would be too terrifying.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Xu Yan's wrist was suddenly grabbed. Xu Yan looked back and met Peng Yue's tears. Behind her was her close maid, who was holding her waist tightly and advised her: "Miss, let's go back quickly! If the master's wife knows about it, you will definitely be scolded again!"

Peng Yue threw the maid away, knelt in front of Xu Yan again and kowtowed to her, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I know you are going to deal with the assassin in front of you now, to observe Your Majesty's injuries, and to deal with the problem of Liang State. But... but Lu Huai was injured because he blocked the arrows for Your Majesty!"

When Xu Yan heard this, he understood how Lu Huai was injured and blocked the mother's empress? Is he so smart as Lu Huai for his position? But the mother's empress had already been promoted to the Hanlin Academy a few days ago. Why did he take the risk to save the mother's empress? Is it just for the word loyalty and righteousness?

Xu Yan's thoughts flashed rapidly. Before she could figure it out, Peng Yue continued, "We just went to invite the imperial physicians to come, but the imperial physicians accompanying him had already visited His Majesty and the envoys of Liang State, and none of them went to see Lu Huai!" Before she could finish her words, Xu Yan saw Shangshu Peng and Mrs. Peng who were coming quickly behind her.

As soon as they saw Peng Yue kneeling on the ground, they said, "Peng Yue! Do you still want to be shameless! In such a hurry, they dared to stand in front of the palace and talk about those unimportant things and plead for the unimportant people?!"

When Peng Yue heard their voices, there was no panic on her face, only firmness. She raised her bright eyes, which contained the meaning of innocence, and continued to say to Xu Yan: "Your Highness, you are Peng Yue's only friend. I hope you can help Lu Huai and save his life. Peng Yue has no choice but to repay him. If Your Highness becomes emperor in the future, Peng Yue will definitely give the Peng family all his strength to assist You!" After saying that, she straightened her waist and solemnly performed the most stringent and standard monarchy of the monarch and ministers to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan wanted to help her, but she suddenly brushed Xu Yan's hand and continued the etiquette just now. Peng Yue raised her head until all three rings were knocked down. At this time, blood was already oozing from her forehead, and a scar like a jade-like flawless and white face suddenly appeared on her face, which was a symbol of her promise to her. This perception made Xu Yan feel mixed in her heart.

Xu Yan glanced at Peng's father and mother who were about to arrive beside them, and helped Peng Yue up and said, "Don't worry. Lu Huai is not only your sweetheart, but also his friend and Yunqi. I will not ignore him." Then, he explained to Yingchun just now: "As soon as we arrive, you will go to the famous imperial physician to treat Lord Lu's injuries."

After seeing Yingchun agreeing, Peng Yue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Yan gratefully. Then he looked at Peng’s father and mother behind him and walked towards them.

Xu Yan finally felt relieved when she saw Peng Yue. She watched her return to her parents with her own eyes, and then turned around and continued to walk forward.

As the grand girl, Xu Yan was not far from Xu Qing's carriage. So not long after, he saw a crowd gathering in front of him. As soon as Xu Yan arrived here, the crowd suddenly dispersed and saluted Xu Yan and said, "See Your Highness!"

Xu Yan waved his hand, grabbed the minister beside her and asked, "What's going on now?"

The minister didn't expect that he would be picked and replied, trembling and couldn't even speak clearly. Xu Yan could only hear the key words "Your Majesty" and "Assassin" he said, and was still confused about the whole thing.

Just as she was about to pick a familiar minister to ask about the situation, Liang Yu quickly walked to her from the crowd. Xu Yan didn't expect that Liang Yu would also surround her mother's side, and asked unexpectedly: "You are not dealing with the envoys of Liang State, what are you doing here?"

Liang Yu did not answer her question, but began to tell her the whole story concisely: "When the carriage arrived here, several black-clothed assassins suddenly appeared in front of him. They were well-trained and made ruthless and precise moves. They shot three arrows at His Majesty's carriage one after another."

"Mr. Lu was summoned by His Majesty and was about to discuss things in His Majesty's carriage, but he encountered this attack. He quickly fought with the killer who was about to attack the carriage, but in the end he was plotted against an arrow shot at His Majesty."
