“Prince Six!”

Ming Shu looked at the horse carriage that rode past her as though she was looking at an enemy.

The three lords got a shock.

They were just gossiping about this cripple and they met him now.

Prince Six lifted his curtain and took a look. His gaze landed on the antithetical couplet.

What the hell is written on it…

“Princess Consort, do you have anything going on?”

“I heard that you are getting married?”

Prince Six was on his guard. “Why, do you want me to give up on my marriage again?”

Ming Shu smiled. “Nope. I just want to ask whether your future wife knows how to cook.”

Prince Six: “…” How would he know the answer?

Which of these princesses knows hot to cook?

What does this have to do with her?

The princess consort is showing her face in public just like this! Why isn’t Lord Yi’an doing anything about it!!

“She doesn’t.”

Prince Six put down the curtain and made to leave. Ming Shu jumped up immediately and ran toward the horse carriage.

The bodyguard made to stop but he thought for a while and decided not to. He allowed Ming Shu to stand at the side of the horse carriage.

She lifted the curtain and smiled brightly. “Prince Six, do you want to buy a treasure map?”

Prince Six thought he heard wrong. “What did you say?”

“I said, do you want to buy a treasure map?” Ming Shu repeated. “Prince Six, your brain is well again but your ears have a problem now?”

Prince Six: “…” Kill her. Kill her for me!!

“What treasure map?” Prince Six asked. “You drew it yourself?”

“Why would I draw it myself? If I had the time, I’d rather go eat some snacks.” Do I look so free? “I hired someone to draw it.”

“…”

Goodbye.

Prince Six grabbed the curtain. “Leave.”

“Don’t leave. Treasure map, Prince Six. Are you really not buying it?” Ming Shu followed the horse carriage. “It is really very…”

Shua—

A sharp sword cut through the air and a few arrows shot over from the higher ground. It landed in front of the horse and the horse got a shock. It neighed loudly and then stopped moving.

A few figures jumped up from the crowd. They took out their weapons and rushed toward Prince Six’s horse carriage.

Screams sounded in the crowd after a while.

“…Cheap.” Ming Shu turned around and ran.

When Prince Six lifted his curtain, the first thing he saw was a running Ming Shu.

She ran really quickly and reached her stall in the blink of an eye. She patted her chest as though she received a shock.

Prince Six’s mouth corners twitched. Of course, in this situation, he had no time to care about this kind of teammate who just left him in the lurch.

The assassin’s knife was already in front of him. It slit a portion of the curtain in front of him.

The horse carriage was destroyed the next second. He fell down from the carriage.

His bodyguards caught him and placed him on his wheelchair. They blocked the assassins and retreated at the same time.

There were quite a lot of assassins and some were even hiding in the crowd, looking for an opportunity to attack him.

“Be careful—”

A scream rang above all the other noises and landed right upon Prince Six’s ears.

When he looked up, a cold light flashed past his eyes.

The assassins’ blade came toward him.

Swoosh—

It stabbed into a body.

Fresh blood spurted out.

Prince Six felt the warmth on the back of his hand. It flowed through his fingers and dripped onto the floor.

The one that blocked the attack for him was a lady he didn’t know.

He was baffled. He didn’t seem to understand why someone blocked the attack for him.

On the other hand, among the crowd, Ming Shu grabbed onto Song Yunjiao.

Song Yunjiao didn’t struggle much. She looked on as Prince Six hugged another person and ordered his men to kill the assassins in a fit of anger.

She planned to go out and block that attack for Prince Six. That way, Prince Six would accept her again.

But…

But this woman suddenly appeared and stopped her.

After a while, Song Yunjiao turned around and glared at Ming Shu with her bloodshot eyes. “Qin Wu!”

“Yes, I’m here.” Ming Shu smiled.

Song Yunjiao didn’t say anything. She just stared at her intently. If looks could kill, Ming Shu would be dead several times over.

However, the Hatred Points were not full yet.

Shall I beat her?

Song Yunjiao managed to react in time. She lifted her leg and kicked Ming Shu. Then, she took out a dagger and stabbed Ming Shu.

The hand that was holding onto Song Yunjiao was released and Song Yunjiao ran away.

Ming Shu looked at her empty hand.

No…

Why did she run away?!

Where is your dignity as the fake female protagonist?

Even if it is a fake female protagonist, it is still a female protagonist!!

Song Yunjiao ran away really quickly and there were assassins out and about as well. Hence, Ming Shu didn’t manage to catch up to her.

Ming Shu looked at the people and heaved a sigh. So hungry.

Let’s eat something.

When Ming Shu came back with her buns, the assassins were lying around on the ground already.

A physician was trying to stop the blood loss for the lady in Prince Six’s arms. Prince Six looked at the physician with a dark face.

After a while, the physician shivered and said, “Prince Six… the… the poison on the lady… I have never seen it before.”

“Go back to the mansion.”

“Prince Six, this lady is bleeding profusely. She can’t handle hard movements at such length.” The physician said again, “There is a medical clinic ahead. You can send her over there first.”

The people in the medical clinic were so scared of these fierce-looking bunch of people, they didn’t even dare to talk.

The physician from this medical clinic came to take a look too but the conclusion was the same. He never saw this poison before and was not able to stop the blood from spilling.

Prince Six turned in his chair and wanted to explode. However, he saw Ming Shu standing at the side form the corner of his eyes. She was chewing her bun and looking at the person on the bed seriously.

“Why are you here?”

Ming Shu blinked. She smiled innocently. “Why can’t I be here?”

Prince Six glared at the bodyguards beside him. Don’t you all know how to block her!?

The bodyguards seemed to understand what their master was thinking. They felt complicated. They did block her before, but this person still managed to enter their mansion, right?

“Song Yunjiao is so hard on herself,” Ming Shu muttered.

“What did you say?” Prince Six stared at Ming Shu.

Ming Shu was a little tired from standing. She found a place and sat down. “Song Yunjiao probably wanted to save you, but she was stopped by me. Your life is so good.”

The last sentence seemed to be an exclamation.

The treatment of a male protagonist.

I… have to buy a bun myself if I want to eat.

There is a crazy person waiting for me at home too.

It’s tiring just thinking about it.

Prince Six understood what Ming Shu was trying to say. However, he was still calm. “Do you have evidence?”

“Evidence? Why do I need evidence?” Ming Shu pretended to be shocked. “I was not the target of the assassination. I am just giving you a clue and you still want me to find evidence for you? Does this mean that if I help you to rebel, you will give me the throne?”

“Princess Consort!” the bodyguards shouted.

Can she say things like this so nonchalantly?

Although she always said things like this, it was at the mansion where everyone was on the same side.

“What are you all nervous for? I have no interest in the throne. It is not as cute as my bun.”

The bodyguards: “…”

Prince Six: “…”

Prince Six stared at Ming Shu for a while. Then, he ordered his bodyguards, “Go and find Song Yunjiao.”

“…” Does his Highness really believe her? What if the princess consort is just talking nonsense? The bodyguards saw Prince Six’s dark face from the side and cupped their hands together. “… Yes.”

Almost immediately after the bodyguards left, the imperial physician was brought over.

The medical skills of the imperial physician were on a different level, but even he shook his head after inspecting the lady. He commented that he had no solution, either.

“Useless.”

The imperial physician was a little angry, but due to Prince Six’s status, he could only stay his anger. However, he still left. “Please find another person, Prince Six.”

The bodyguards wanted to scold him, but got stopped by Prince Six. “Is Priest Yongyan still in the Capital?”

“Yes.”

“Invite him.”
