House of the Minister of Household Affairs.

Leng Lanzhi sat on the main seat in the living room and took a sip of tea.

Not long after, Pei Yuanzheng came out of the inner hall and reported: "Princess, Mrs. Guan only suffered a skin injury. She will be fine after a few days of good practice."

Leng Lanzhi nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Yuan Pei."

Pei Yuanzheng said with a smile: "Princess's words are serious, I will leave."

After Pei Yuan was leaving, the Minister of Household Affairs also walked out of the inner hall and knelt down in front of Leng Lanzhi with a bang: "Thank you princess! If it weren't for the princess who knows everything this time, my wife would probably..."

The Minister of Household Affairs is twenty-two years old this year, but he is crying like a child at this time.

Mrs. Guan was indeed assassinated and injured, but not seriously.

After all, all of this was under Leng Lanzhi's control. She deduced from clues that the person King Qin wanted to deal with was the Minister of Hubu, so she sent a large number of people to secretly protect the two of them.

It didn't take long for these people to send news that there were suspicious people operating near Mrs. Guan recently, so she was sure that the target of these people was Mrs. Guan.

Combined with Yu Yintong's movements, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion - they are going to attack Mrs. Guan in Zhenbao Pavilion.

That day when she was in Zhenbao Pavilion, besides wanting to take Qionghua to stimulate Yu Yintong, her most important purpose was actually to protect Mrs. Guan.

It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as those of heaven, and Mrs. Guan was still injured.

Leng Lanzhi didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only put down the tea cup.

Hearing the slight collision between the tea cup and the table, the Minister of Tobe woke up from his grief and said a little shyly: "Princess, please forgive me, I have lost my temper."

Leng Lanzhi said calmly: "It is human nature, Guan Shilang is so affectionate and sincere, I am very pleased."

Anyone who serves as an official in the court will basically have concubines in his backyard.

Even the prince and the princess, who were once unquestionably in love, had other women in their midst.

Shilang Guan and Mrs. Guan have supported each other for more than thirty years, but they are still as loving as ever, which is very rare.

Leng Lanzhi envied this kind of relationship and was willing to maintain it.

"This time the thieves seem to be targeting Mrs. Guan, but in fact, their target is the emperor's brother and the queen mother. Guan Shilang, you must be careful in the future and don't make mistakes when you have time. Think carefully about whether you have made any mistakes in the past and were caught by others? Handling these matters well is the best reward for me."

Guan Shilang trembled suddenly. For the past two days, all his thoughts had been immersed in his wife's injury, and he had no energy to think about anything else.

Now that the scapegoat princess had reminded him, he realized that his wife was just a cover, and it was him who those people really wanted to deal with!

Only by pulling him down can a person of King Qin's lineage take the position of Minister of Household Affairs.

The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the country's money. It is not only a lucrative job, but also a lifeline. Once someone from the King of Qin's lineage gets a hold of it, the Prince's lineage may be in danger.

He immediately cheered up: "Princess, don't worry, I will definitely conduct a good self-examination and will definitely not delay His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's retreat!"

"So, very good."

The news that Mrs. Guan was only slightly injured and not dead soon spread throughout Shengjing.

After King Qin's counselors learned the news, they rushed to King Qin's palace as quickly as possible to report the matter.

At that time, King Qin had just gotten up from Rourou Township and was still not quite sober.

After hearing the news, his thoughts took a while to react, and he stood up suddenly: "What did you say? That old woman is not dead?" He was so excited that the coat he casually chopped on his body actually slipped off. On the ground, a fat and flabby body was exposed.

The counselors quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at the "beautiful scenery".

"Damn it! You're so lucky that you didn't die even after that!"

In order to kill the old woman, he spent a lot of effort to create the most favorable conditions.

First, let the waiter drive out all the personal maids of Mrs. Guan on the grounds that the new jewelry in Zhenbao Pavilion is not easy to wear and the space in front of the dressing mirror is too small, leaving only the waiter and Mrs. Guan, as well as those hiding in the room. The assassin in the dark.

Then cooperate with Yu Yintong to lure Ding Yinuo into taking the bait.

The time was right, the place was right, and the people were all present, they took action.

It stands to reason that Mrs. Guan is just a weak woman. Under the double attack of the mischievous waiter and the powerful assassin, there is no way she can survive!

However, someone now told her that the old woman was really not dead!

Moreover, he only suffered minor injuries!

So who are the martial arts masters he sent?

Is it made of water?

The second prince had already left in the middle of the night. He had no one else to discuss with, so he had to call in all his advisers.

The counselors discussed and discussed, but they couldn't figure out the key to the wife's escape. Finally, someone suddenly thought: "Could it be...Princess Jialuo?"

King Qin frowned, but after a moment he shook his head and dismissed the idea: "Impossible. She is just a woman. She just learned good archery skills by luck, and her brain is not strong enough. How could she know beforehand that we are going to kill Mrs. Guan?"

The counselors thought about it and thought so.

Ever since the Holy Emperor, there have been few capable women in this world.

Princess Jialuo is indeed very capable, but... what happened this time was a clever plan jointly thought up by more than a dozen of their counselors!

How could she, a woman, without the help of any famous adviser, see through their plan?

As for the prince...

Haha, they have checked it out a long time ago. The prince is now too immersed in the ridiculous love game with the princess to pay attention to other things.

In the end, these people agreed that Mrs. Guan was wearing something that could block sharp blade attacks, and the assassin's sword happened to hit that thing, allowing Mrs. Guan to escape.

In addition, Ding Yinuo entered the room after Mrs. Guan was stabbed, so the assassin had no time to make a second stab.

Thanks to various coincidences, Mrs. Guan survived.

"I can only say that this old woman is too lucky."

King Qin finally concluded like this.

After a moment, he sneered: "It doesn't matter, our goal is to kill the Minister of Household Affairs and win over the Wulin League. That old woman is just a convenience."

"Ding Yinuo cannot escape the charge of assassinating the royal wife. He will undoubtedly die. Once he dies, Ding Qingshan will be able to secure his position as the leader of the Wulin Alliance."

"As for the Minister of Revenue...at worst, we will spend more effort."

"Master Pi, I leave this matter to you."

Master Pi stood up and said respectfully: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

While the group was discussing, the housekeeper hurried in and said with a gloomy expression: "Your Majesty, it's not good! Mrs. Guan's maid went to Jingzhao Mansion and said she could testify that Ding Yinuo did not assassinate Mrs. Guan. The murderer."

"What!?" King Qin had been shocked several times this morning, and he was numb. (End of chapter)
