After Yue Wan'er returned to the Five Princes' Mansion, she stayed in her room, and Ling'er sometimes talked to her, but she didn't seem to be very interested, and most of the time she sat by the window and looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard outside.

Ling'er couldn't say anything, so she could only stay quietly outside the room, waiting for Yue Wan'er's summons.

When Ye Xiuwen came, Ling'er nodded to him: "Guard Ye." ”

Ye Xiuwen also nodded and said, "Miss Wan'er is inside, the prince said that he won't eat in the mansion tonight, and he may come back a little late, so let Miss Wan'er not have to wait for him, just rest early after eating." ”

"Got it, I'll tell you, there's a guard for Lao Ye."

After Ye Xiuwen left, Ling'er went into the house and told Ye Xiuwen's words truthfully, Yue Wan'er listened to it, nodded, and didn't react much, after all, Jiang Qianbai's identity was there, and some entertainment was also a natural thing, so there was nothing to worry about.

Ling'er smiled and said, "Miss, the prince is coming back very late, why don't you react?" ”

"He didn't go out alone, he would definitely take the guards with him," Yue Wan'er lay on the windowsill with a sad expression: "Besides, for entertainment like this, Jiang Qianbai used to go there often, and nothing special would happen, so there was nothing to worry about, so it was better to think that I was alone in the house, and it would be better to eat something at night." ”

Ling'er smiled, nodded, and didn't speak again.

On the other side, in the Three Princes' Mansion, the Third Prince learned the news that Jiang Qianbai had gone out to attend the banquet, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, although it was a little dangerous, but if it was successful, he might be able to help his plan go further.

He called out to his henchman and whispered a few words in his ear, and the guard nodded in understanding, and then quickly left.

The third prince had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a confident smile appeared on his face, it seems that this is a good opportunity rewarded to him by God, since he has seized it, he will not let go easily!

That night, Jiang Qianbai attended a banquet in a famous restaurant in the imperial city, during which he was persuaded to drink a lot of wine, although he drank a lot of wine, but after all, he hadn't drunk it for a long time, and now he drank too much at one time, and his body couldn't stand it.

Ye Xiuwen held Jiang Qianbai's shoulder, frowned and said, "Lord Wang, if you can't drink it, then don't drink it, let's go back first." ”

"That's not going to work!" An adult sitting next to him hurriedly pressed Jiang Qianbai's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's rare to be able to meet the fifth prince at this kind of banquet, then you must be drunk and don't return, how can you leave now!" That's absolutely not a no-no! ”

Ye Xiuwen frowned: "Didn't you see that the prince of our family was already drunk?" What else do you say if you don't get drunk and don't return, you're blind! ”

After speaking, Ye Xiuwen shook off the hand that the man put on Jiang Qianbai's shoulder, and then carried Jiang Qianbai out of the banquet quickly, and took him back to the carriage to sit.

The guard asked him, "Guard Ye, are you going to leave now?" ”

"Well," Ye Xiuwen nodded: "The prince is drunk, let's send him back to the palace first." ”

"Yes."

On the way back to the Five Princes' Mansion, the guards guarding the carriage noticed that something was wrong, although it was dark around, it always felt as if someone was following them, and they were there after coming out of the restaurant.

The guard driving the carriage said to Ye Xiuwen inside: "Guard Ye, something is wrong outside. ”

Ye Xiuwen immediately held the sword in his hand, and before he could go out to take a look, the carriage was attacked, and it was a group of black-clothed people with bows and arrows in their hands, and the guards guarding around the carriage were defenseless and were shot and killed, and the only ones who remained were immediately protected around the carriage.

Ye Xiuwen frowned tightly, looked at Jiang Qianbai, who had slept because he had drunk too much, and felt a little panicked, he had been fine when he had gone out so many times before, why was he assassinated at this time!

"Who is gathering a crowd to fight in the Imperial City!"

There was a shout in the darkness, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, and the group of men in black saw that the situation was not in their favor, and chose to evacuate without hesitation, and before leaving, they did not forget to shoot the last wave of bows and arrows, and shot two more guards.

Arriving on horseback were soldiers patrolling the imperial city at night.

Ye Xiuwen walked out of the carriage and said to their captain: "This is the carriage of the Fifth Prince, Jiang Qianbai, who was assassinated, thanks to your timely arrival, they didn't succeed." ”

The captain of the patrol soldier waved his hand and said, "It's because we're too late, you have too many dead and wounded, it's too dangerous to go back like this, so let's send you back." ”

"Then I'm bothering you."

"That's our job, please."

The patrol soldiers sent them back to the gate of the Five Kings' Mansion, and there were no further assassinations, and the group of men in black seemed to have really retreated.

Before entering the mansion, Ye Xiuwen thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you for your help tonight, when the prince wakes up tomorrow, he will definitely inform him of this matter." ”

"Guard Ye is polite, guarding the peace of the imperial city is our duty, don't care, the prince is fine, if there is nothing else, I will continue to patrol with my brothers."

"Okay, you go slowly."

After seeing them leave, Ye Xiuwen hurriedly asked the drunk Jiang Qianbai to go back to the room to rest, of course, it was Jiang Qianbai's own room, and he didn't tell Yue Wan'er about it, so as not to worry her.

But Ling'er, who had been guarding at the gate of the palace, saw everything, and hurriedly ran back to tell Yue Wan'er what she had seen and heard, Yue Wan'er was going to sleep, but she sat up from the bed the moment she learned that Jiang Qianbai had been assassinated.

Her first reaction was to rush out of the room to find Jiang Qianbai, and Ling'er hurriedly followed behind her.

Ye Xiuwen saw that Yue Wan'er suddenly came, and hurriedly stopped her, explaining: "Miss Wan'er, the prince has drunk a little too much tonight, and he has already fallen asleep, if there is anything, let's wait until the prince wakes up tomorrow, how about it?" ”

Yue Wan'er frowned: "Jiang Qianbai is just drunk, didn't anything else happen?" ”

Ye Xiuwen's heart was empty, but the answer he gave was very firm: "Yes, there is nothing else, the prince is also asleep unharmed, if Miss Wan'er really doesn't believe it, you can go in and take a look." ”

"No need, since the prince has already slept, it is inconvenient for me to go in and disturb him, you take good care of him, I will come to see him tomorrow."

"Yes."

Before leaving, Yue Wan'er glanced at the door of the room intentionally or unintentionally, and then turned around and left expressionlessly, there was only a trace of alcohol spreading at the door of the room, and there was no smell of blood, it seemed that although Jiang Qianbai was assassinated, his life was fine.
