Chapter 171: The Prince Makes a Move
Seeing that the secret guards and the guards of the Su family were fighting fiercely with each other, the people on both sides of the street had already chosen to retreat, for fear that an accident would happen.
Shen Baiqing saw that the group of people not far away insisted on wanting their lives, and Shen Baiqing asked.
"Who are you?"
The Son of Heaven actually dared to fight and kill at his feet, so it can be seen that these people must be outlaws, Shen Baiqing couldn't help but think that these people should be the same group as the people who kidnapped Rui'er before.
The leader looked at Shen Baiqing, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he was even more disrespectful.
"Your son was easily taken away by us last time, you think you still have a way to survive this time!"
Hearing this, Shen Baiqing's face suddenly changed greatly, she guessed that it was one thing, and the other party admitted it was another.
The secret guards on the side knew that the other party had a common enmity with the Su family, and they fought even harder.
There was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Shen Baiqing followed the sound and saw the prince's henchmen he had seen before, and the prince's people rushed to capture the group of people after dividing them by two.
The guards came to Shen Baiqing's side and saluted respectfully.
"Second Mrs. Su was frightened."
"Thank you for the rescue."
"Second Mrs. Su wants to thank His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just passed by this street and found that the carriage of the Su family was besieged, so he ordered his subordinates to come to support."
Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Shen Baiqing's eyes, she didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to save them again, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't ordered someone to rescue them last time, maybe she and Su Bowen wouldn't have survived now.
In this way, Shen Baiqing's heart had a lot of good feelings towards His Royal Highness the Prince.
After separating from the prince's henchmen, Shen Baiqing and others returned to Su Mansion, and at this time, Su Mansion had received news that Shen Baiqing had an accident and that it was His Royal Highness the Prince's people who helped to relieve the siege, and the Su family was grateful.
When Shen Baiqing returned to the courtyard, he was diagnosed and treated by the doctor in the house, and after confirming that Shen Baiqing was fine, everyone was relieved.
When Su Bowen returned to the inner room, he saw Shen Baiqing lying on the bed, Su Bowen didn't want to come to Shen Baiqing's side, and asked with concern.
"Lady, what do you think?"
Seeing Su Bowen asking himself, Shen Baiqing smiled and said.
"I'm fine, don't worry about it."
Shen Baiqing knew that if something happened to her, Su Bowen would definitely be worried, but she didn't expect her husband to be so worried about her accident, which made her heart very warm.
After repeatedly confirming that Shen Baiqing was fine, Su Bowen's originally hanging heart could be regarded as letting go.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to send a message, saying that he would deal with the group that assassinated you, and asked you to live and recuperate in the mansion."
"Husband, you must check it out to see if there are any comrades in that group, and the Su family can't have any more accidents."
First, the Wang family was injured, then Rui'er was taken away, then Su Bowen was injured, and Shen Baiqing was assassinated today, which shows that the gang has a deep grudge against the Su family.
Su Bowen stayed by Shen Baiqing's side for a long time, so he went to Su Zhiyuan's study in person, and Su Zhiyuan and Su Boxing were waiting for him in the study.
Coming to the study, Su Bowen saluted Su Zhiyuan and Su Boxing, and Su Zhiyuan asked.
"Is there something wrong with the second daughter-in-law?"
Seeing that his father cared about Shen Baiqing's situation, Su Bowen answered truthfully.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a little frightened, and it's not in the way."
In fact, Shen Baiqing was not even frightened at all, but Su Bowen still tactfully showed that Shen Baiqing was frightened, and it was better for everyone to know that his wife was already strange about these things.
Knowing that Shen Baiqing was fine, Su Zhiyuan and Su Boxing's original hanging hearts were completely relaxed, and Su Zhiyuan instructed Su Bowen.
"Don't let your second daughter-in-law go out on these days, and you should be more careful when you go out."
"Father rest assured, son knows."
Seeing Su Bowen talking about his words to heart, Su Zhiyuan restrained his expression, looked at Su Bowen and Su Boxing's eyes were full of seriousness, and said.
"In the past, these fathers never told you, because the fathers knew that you could easily deal with the affairs of officialdom, but today my father wants to tell you that our Su family will definitely not be able to participate in the dispute for the throne of the imperial court!"
As soon as Su Zhiyuan's words came out, Su Bowen and Su Boxing on the side also became much more solemn, they knew what their father meant, and they nodded solemnly.
Su Zhi saw it and continued.
"This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed kind to our Su family, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince personally appointed by His Majesty, which seems to be no problem on the surface, if this matter is to be dug deeper, I am afraid that it is not as simple as we think."
Su Zhiyuan said such a thing in front of his two sons, which was nothing more than not wanting his sons to choose to take sides, which was not a good thing for the Su family.
"Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was originally a candidate for the prince, so what's wrong with us getting closer to His Highness?"
Although Su Boxing knew that his father didn't want the Su family to be involved in these messy battles in public, Su Boxing still didn't understand why the Su family couldn't get close to His Royal Highness the Prince.
Seeing Su Boxing asking himself, Su Zhiyuan sighed and said.
"Our Su family is doing things for His Majesty today, no matter who the prince is, we just need to do a good job of saving face, don't get involved, that will not be good for our Su family."
Today's Su family has become the envy of many forces in the capital, and it is precisely because of this that Su Zhiyuan must ensure that every step the Su family takes next will not be wrong, once the Su family makes a mistake, then the consequences will naturally be unimaginable.
Su Zhiyuan's words made Su Bowen and Su Boxing deeply realize that now the capital seems to be safe and sound on the surface, but in fact, the hidden turmoil is not something they can easily see, and it can only be said that the Su family can only deal with these things carefully, and there must not be the slightest mistake.
When Su Bowen returned to the courtyard, Shen Baiqing was waiting for Su Bowen to have dinner together, Su Bowen told Shen Baiqing what his father said, and Shen Baiqing tried to ask.
"I understand what my father means, but His Royal Highness the Prince's kindness is something you and I have to repay."
Su Zhiyuan is cautious in doing things for the Su family, which is understandable to Shen Baiqing, even if Shen Baiqing stands in Su Zhiyuan's position, the decision he makes will be like this.
What Shen Baiqing cares about is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has helped them twice, and if such a favor is not returned, I am afraid that it will be a little unreasonable.
Su Bowen knew the meaning of his wife's words, Su Bowen said slowly.
"We have to find a chance to repay His Highness's kindness, but this matter should not be rushed, we still have to deal with it carefully, and when I think of a good way, I will return this favor to His Highness."
"It's all about now, but I really feel uncomfortable thinking that I can't go out during this time."
"It's okay, my father said that you are not allowed to go out alone, if you want to go out, my husband can take you."
