The second prince looked at the two of them coldly. A trace of mockery flashed through his eyes.
The girl clearly didn't want to talk, but his brother still wanted to talk to her. How embarrassing.
Xuantian Ce had always hated Cheng Linyin, who was praised by everyone in the imperial city.
She was just the daughter of a lowly official, but she was more respected than he was in front of his father.
Gu Shengyin was about to find an excuse to leave, but her heart suddenly trembled.
She was extremely fast. Her figure flashed and appeared behind the eldest prince. At the same time, a green light flashed in her sleeve. The sword in her flute shot out and cut off a sword that was coming at her from the side.
"Protect the eldest prince!" The surrounding guests were shocked.
Seeing that his attack missed, the assassin seemed to know that he didn't have a chance. He didn't want to continue fighting. He quickly retreated and was about to leave.
How could Gu Shengyin let him leave so easily?
She didn't chase after him. Instead, she put the jade flute in her hand under her lips. A melodious sound came from the flute. At the same time, a hazy green shadow seemed to fall from the sky, blocking the masked assassin's path of retreat.
There was a net on three sides. Gu Shengyin was waiting for him behind.
The assassin's eyes narrowed when he saw the green shadow. He clearly recognized what it was. He also knew that it was a treasure personally refined by the head priest. There was no way he could break it with his own strength.
He turned around and looked behind him. Then, he pounced in Gu Shengyin's direction.
Gu Shengyin flew up and prepared to meet the enemy. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong.
"Protect the women!" However, the assassin was too fast.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the crowd and grabbed a woman in luxurious clothes. He pressed the broken sword in his hand against her neck.
"Let me go, or I'll bury her with me." His voice was hoarse as he looked at the guards who had rushed over to surround him.
The people from the Protector General's Manor relaxed when they saw who he was holding hostage. It was just a concubine's daughter.
Gu Shengyin's heart tightened. The person who was being held hostage was Cheng Lingyu.
She was already very careful. Could it be that Cheng Lingyu still couldn't escape?
She looked at the eldest prince.
This assassin was after the Eldest Prince. She wanted to save Cheng Lingyu, but she had to ask the Eldest Prince's permission.
Although the First Prince didn't recognize Cheng Lingyu and wanted to take down this madwoman who dared to assassinate him, he had to show his benevolent side in front of so many aristocratic families.
"If you spare the life of the young miss in your arms, this prince can let you leave," he said, inwardly gritting his teeth.
The assassin sneered, "Hypocrite." His eyes swept around, "Didn't you hear what your master said? Back off! "
The surrounding guards made way for them, and the assassin didn't slow down at all. After a few flashes, they disappeared from sight.
"Let's go and check on Fifth Sister!" Gu Shengyin was worried about Cheng Lingyu, so she quickly followed them.
Not far from the General's Mansion, Cheng Lingyu was knocked out and put aside.
Gu Shengyin examined him. Fortunately, there were no other injuries. Such injuries shouldn't cause any problems, right?
She ordered people to bring Fifth Miss back to rest. After this incident, the joyous atmosphere had been diluted quite a bit. Many of the guests had already returned to their residences.
When Gu Shengyin received Ming Que's message the next day, she realized that she had been too naive.
"The Fifth Miss woke up after four hours. When I looked at her, she looked …"
Ming Que paused for a moment, but still said, "Like a different person."
