After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 47 Midnight Terror
Under the dim light of the night, Mu Zhao felt that the little girl's eyes were surprisingly bright.

The fire in Prince Liang's Mansion was burning extremely brightly, and the little girl looked extremely calm and calm in the light of the flames.

That strange emotion surfaced again.

It was as if nothing in the world could shake her emotions at all.

Crews are working hard to extinguish the fire.

After receiving the news, ordinary people in nearby streets also rushed here with buckets and basins carrying water.

The fire beeped and engulfed the roof beams. Mu Shizi unknowingly moved to Yu Linlang, "Miss Yu is here too."

Yu Linlang bowed politely and said, "I have met the Crown Prince."

Mu Zhao felt like laughing when he saw her looking at her nose and heart, her eyebrows lowered and her face expressionless.

He was the one who witnessed the little girl asking the governor to immediately give her a five hundred tael silver note.

On the surface, he looks sweet, gentle and calm, but his body hurts.

"It's freezing cold and it's getting deeper in the middle of the night. It's unexpected that the Governor has called Miss Jade here."

Yu Linlang agreed, "A civilian girl actually can't figure it out. A weak woman like a civilian girl who can't lift her shoulders or lift her hands can't really help much in a fire scene."

At this point, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a rescue worker running towards them holding a copper basin.

The moonlight printed on the copper basin, and a line of cold snow slowly overflowed from below.

Mu Zhao reacted very quickly, and almost without any explanation, he pulled Yu Linlang behind him to protect her.

At the same time, a bright three-foot green blade emerged from under the copper basin, narrowly grazing his left arm.

"Sir!"

The copper basin fell to the ground with a clang, and the guards of the Mu Mansion from all directions rushed towards him in shock.

This change was so fast and unprepared that Mu Shizi himself was shocked.

Seeing the opponent's sword point swiping toward his neck, Yu Linlang pinched his wrist and dragged him around half a circle, just in time to hide behind the squatting stone lion at the door.

The assassin's sword made a thin crack on the stone lion, and the stone flew everywhere.

Mu Zhao lowered his head to look at Yu Linlang who was nestling next to him, "Miss Yu, don't be afraid, they..."

Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen assassins who were mixed in the crowd rushed out at the same time, and they drew their swords and slashed at the two of them quickly.

The Ming Guards rushed over at this time and penetrated the two assassins from behind.

Jade Governor was so frightened that he staggered back from the steps and exclaimed, "Go and protect the crown prince!"

The water dragon team and the firefighters were all shocked, and some timid ones quickly threw away the pots and jars in their hands and hurriedly moved aside.

Chen Buyu held on to the wall on one side and almost shouted, "Wei Ling, Wei Ling."

Wei Ling quickly jumped out of the palace, pulled out the sword from her waist, stopped the knives in the hands of the two assassins, and cut them off with a "clang".

Mu Zhao had just raised his foot to kick away an assassin holding a steel knife, when the green-edged sword of the man in front of them had quickly stabbed in front of them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mu Shizi moved his fingers slightly, but Yu Linlang held his pulse forcefully, and the internal energy that was ready to go was inexplicably lost.

Before he could think about it carefully, Yu Linlang grabbed his wrist and hurriedly moved half a circle again to stop him.

Seeing the sword light spreading down, Miss Yu suddenly pulled out the hairpin and inserted a slender green bamboo stick into the main artery of the assassin's neck without blinking an eye.

Drops of blood spurted out. The girl's black hair flowed down and gently brushed his stern profile. Mu Zhao was stunned for a moment.

The Qingfeng sword that struck them was hovering in mid-air, and time seemed to have frozen, and needles could be heard all around.

The guards of the Hou Mansion who came in a hurry were also shocked. They quickly rushed forward and shouted, "Your Majesty."

"Sir."

Mu Zhao stretched out his hand and pushed, and the assassin with a ferocious twitching facial expression fell backwards and landed heavily on the ground.

Two people were dragged out from behind the stone lion, one with disheveled hair, the other with a blue shirt sleeve stained with blood, both in a very miserable state.

"Huai Zhi, Huai Zhi." Lu Qian hurried over, her footsteps paused, and her eyes involuntarily fell on the hands they were holding.

To be precise, it was Miss Yu who held Mu Shizi's hand tightly...

Yu Linlang realized later that she was still holding Mu Zhao's wrist, so she quickly threw it away and took half a step back with an expressionless face.

The jasper green bamboo hairpin was tied up in her hands. Miss Yu slowly put the slender green bamboo hairpin back into her hair.

This scene left a deep impression on everyone present. Under the pale moonlight, the girl was dressed in plain clothes, with cold eyes that captured the soul.

Everyone in Jade Governor was dumbfounded.

If it weren't for the assassin's corpse on the ground, with blood blistering on its neck, he would have thought that the scene just now was all a dream.

Chang Qing, the Ming Guard of the Hou Mansion, stepped forward and handed over his hands with a look of shame on his face, "Your Majesty, they are a group of Xichuan assassins. They have all been killed."

Mu Zhao nodded and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yu Linlang.

However, he saw that the little girl turned around and walked towards the carriage.

Chen Buyu moved over from the wall and breathed a long sigh of relief, "This Xichuan assassin is so cunning. He actually lurked among the people fighting fires and disasters. It's really hard to guard against."

Mu Shizi's expression was indifferent. He was already accustomed to the many assassinations he encountered every year, such as the series of assassinations in Nanchu, Xichuan.

"Jade Governor, I really want to thank Ling Qianjin for saving me this time." Mu Zhao said in a low voice.

"Yes, yes! Jade Governor, this frail and slender girl of yours is so fast and accurate in her movements!" Chen Buyu also praised him.

If it hadn't been for Miss Yu's good stabbing, there would have been no bloody wound on the prince's body. It's frightening to think about it.

"Ah, okay, easy to talk about." Yu Shoudao laughed.

The sound of a windlass turning came from Prince Liang's Mansion, and a servant pushed the young prince out of Prince Liang's Mansion and hurriedly saluted everyone.

Ye Wuchen smiled faintly, "Thanks to everyone who came to put out the fire, the fire in the mansion has been almost controlled. There are only scattered flames left. Just order the servants to clean up. Is Mu Shizi injured? I really can't help it this time. I let the prince suffer for no reason. Had a fright.”

"No problem." Mu Zhao nodded lightly, "On the contrary, the murderer who pretended to be a demon allowed him to escape in the chaos, so we have to continue to seal the city and search."

"Yes, yes!" Governor Jade wiped his sweat as he thought about business, "Little Prince, the murderer came to Prince Liang's Mansion today. Is everything okay in the Mansion?"

"Fortunately." Ye Wuchen smiled lightly, "As soon as the murderer entered the house, several guards in the house noticed something was wrong, and they hurriedly chased him out."

"The murderer was very skillful in coming and going quickly. When the palace guards were rounding up, he set a fire and escaped quickly. Although the palace was burned down, there were no casualties among the people in the palace. It is a great blessing among misfortunes."

"Is the old prince okay?" Governor Jade hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing." Ye Wuchen smiled and shook his head, "My grandfather fell asleep early and deeply because of his age. There was such a big commotion in the house, but he never came out."
