She understood Mu Sheng's character, and he was loyal to her. He respected Mu Zheng, and he was definitely not disobedient in the slightest. Even though he held the world in his heart, he didn't care about the throne at all. If he were to hear someone slander him like this, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.

People's words were scary. Xue Ruyun was worried that Mu Ying would cause unnecessary trouble, but it was inevitable.

Thinking of this, she could not help but feel a pang in her heart. Mu Ying had not been able to sleep during the long night, so she decided to boil a soup to wake up from her stupor. She carried it to the study room.

At this moment, Mu Ying was reading a book with full concentration. When Xue Ruoyun passed by the window and saw his serious expression, he couldn't help but be tempted by it. As expected of the man he liked, he was so handsome even when he was quiet. Xue Ruyun thought for a moment, then walked over to the door.

"Dong, dong, dong …" Xue Ruyun lightly knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Mu Ying asked, his eyes never leaving the book.

"Mu Sheng, it's me." Xue Luoyun said from outside the door.

Hearing Xue Ruyun's voice, Mu Ying quickly put down his book and personally opened the door.

"Why are you here? Why aren't you sleeping at midnight?" Mu Ying asked gently.

"I woke up in the middle of the night, but I didn't see you. I knew you were reading again, so I made you some soup to wake you up from your stupor." Xue Ruyun entered the room and placed the soup on the table.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Mu Rong Zhan asked as he placed his outer garment over Xue Ruoyun's body and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"No, no, hurry up and read the book." I just came over to take a look, so I didn't want to disturb you. " When Xue Ruyun saw Mu Jianan was doing well, he hurriedly said.

"Alright, then just sit down. I'll be going back after I finish reading this scroll." If you are tired, you can lie down beside me. " Mu Sheng pointed at the bed beside him, making thoughtful arrangements.

"Alright, quickly take a look." Xue Ruyun gently smiled.

After Mu Sheng drank the soup, he sat back down at his desk and began to read. Since Xue Ruyun was bored, he went over to the bookshelf and randomly picked a book to read.

The two of them sat there quietly, looking at each other, feeling very uncomfortable.

After looking for a while, he heard the sound of thunder and a gale began to rise. It seemed that it was going to rain soon. This was the weather for the last six to seven months.

Mu Rong Zhan was immersed in the book and was completely oblivious to everything that was happening outside. On the other hand, Xue Ruyun was sitting on the side of the bed. When the wind blew, the pages in her hands were blown all over the place, and her hair swayed in the wind.

Xue Ruyun looked at the flickering lights, then quickly stood up and gently closed the window.

She turned one side off and went to turn the other off. However, just as she was about to sheath the window, her eyes suddenly focused on a dark shadow that seemed to be motionless in the nearby swaying bushes. Xue Ruyun looked over, and it was as if he was a human figure!

Xue Ruyun's heart skipped a beat and he was about to go get his weapon.

However, at this time, the black figure seemed to already know that he had been discovered. He drew the arrow with his bow and shot it over with a speed that was fast like thunder.

Under the light of the lightning, the cold light shot into the house.

"Mu Ying, be careful!" Xue Ruyun tilted his body to the side and dodged the arrow's blade. He lifted the chair next to him and attempted to block the arrow. At the same time, he reminded Mu Ying loudly.

This arrow was extremely sharp, fast and sharp. Even the rosewood stool had a hole pierced through, and the arrow was aimed straight at Mu Yong.

Mu Sheng was currently engrossed in his book, and when he heard Xue Ruoyun's loud warning, he turned his head and saw the arrow shooting towards him. The arrow was very close to her now.

All he saw was Mu Ying exerting his strength with his leg. He moved one meter backwards along the seat, his hand still holding the book. His left hand reached out and caught the arrow. The arrow was very close to the bridge of his nose.

Seeing this situation, Xue Ruoyun shouted out how dangerous it was. If it weren't for the fact that Mu Sheng had a profound inner force, with the speed of this arrow, the others would have had their foreheads pierced.

Seeing that Mu Rong Zhan was doing well, Xue Ruoyun leaped out of the window and chased after the black shadow.

"Lin Yun, be careful!" Mu Ying reacted and quickly gave chase through the door as well.

Outside the house, the wind was howling and thunder was crackling. Soon, it was raining cats and dogs. Wei Ming and a group of hidden guards, who were patrolling around the manor, saw that the situation wasn't looking good and immediately began to investigate. It was a pity that the rain was heavy and hurried. The night was dark and the wind was strong. At this moment, they quickly escaped.

They chased for a long time, but in the end, they still couldn't find anything. The two of them were completely drenched by the heavy rain. He couldn't catch up to her in such a short period of time. Mu Sheng ordered the hidden guards to continue their investigation and hurriedly brought Xue Ruoyun back to change.

After hearing the news about the assassin, the lights in the manor lit up one after another. After Xue Ruyun and Mu Ying finished their shower, the thunderstorm slowly began to lessen. It was already dawn.

Very quickly, the news of the Prince's assassination spread throughout the palace. When the emperor stopped early in the morning, he hastily sent people over to greet them. Fortunately, Mu Rong Hao and Xue Ruyun were fine, so he was able to relax and urgently force the two of them to enter the palace to inquire.

"Thankfully, she found out about it in time. Otherwise, I would have long since become a ghost under someone's arrow." Mu Sheng explained everything that had happened last night in detail.

"That's right, this assassin could actually infiltrate the King's Manor! We didn't know that and took advantage of the thunderous commotion to make a move, then used the torrential rain to escape without a trace. I presume we've already planned this." Xue Luoyun said.

If it wasn't for the fact that she was good at observation and got up to close the window, Mu Sheng would have been assassinated long ago. Xue Ruyun was extremely glad that he had stayed behind to accompany Mu Ying in winning.

"This prince's mansion is heavily guarded, and you, royal brother, are famous for being powerful in martial arts. Who dares to act so boldly as before? Who dares to sneak into the prince's mansion and make an assassination attempt?!"

Mu Zheng paced back and forth in the great hall, anxious and angry.

"I'm not too sure about this Chendi, but he's a master in martial arts. Even though he escaped under the cover of the torrential rain, he must be an expert." Mu Ying speculated.

"That's right. His actions were quick and ruthless, and he did things cleanly. Other than this arrow, there were no traces left behind. He must be an expert." As he spoke, Xue Luoyun took out the arrow.

Mu Zheng took the arrow and checked it over and over again. It was actually an ordinary arrow without any markings. There was no trace of it.

"Do you know who it is?" Mu Zheng asked while holding the arrow.

"I dare not say who it is, but the prince has never encountered such a situation before. From chenqie's point of view, it is likely related to the rumors in the capital." After thinking for a while, Xue Ruoyun finally opened his mouth.

"What rumor?" The Emperor had lived in the palace for a long time, so he naturally didn't know anything about the rumors in the capital.

"Didn't you know your majesty the emperor? Recently, because of your close relationship with the prince, there have been rumors that you may have passed the throne to the prince, causing fear and trepidation in the hearts of the people." Xue Luoyun said. Originally, he didn't want this matter to affect his and Mu Zheng's mood. But now, in order to find the assassin, he couldn't care less.

"Who dares to speculate about the Holy Will? This is simply courting death!" As expected, when Mu Ying heard this news, he became extremely angry.

"So what if I intend to become the royal brother? Who dares to attack the royal brother because of this? You simply don't want to live anymore. Come, investigate, investigate for me. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and uncover the truth!"

Mu Zheng was so angry that he threw the pearl in his hand onto the ground. He was still alive, yet there were already people who were so anxious to fight for the throne.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This matter was only a conjecture on my part. Actually, there are other reasons that might have led to the assassination of your highness." Xue Luoyun said.

"Who else could it be?" Mu Zheng was astonished. He never thought that Mu Ying would be so unsafe right now.

Xue Ruyun glanced at Mu Ying and saw that he understood what he meant. He walked up and said, "It could also be a comfort barrier!"

"What!" Mu Zheng was shocked, but immediately nodded his head. This was also very possible.

This was because Mu Ying had always been a brave and battle-loving person. Although he didn't have any military power right now, he was still in charge of managing the rest of the army. In addition, if the two countries fought in the future, Mu Sheng would be willing to be reappointed. This was undoubtedly a huge threat to the comfort zone.

Furthermore, Mu has been advising Mu Zheng on how to deal with the comfort base, which has reasons to destroy him.

"Looks like royal brother has implicated you." Mu Zheng patted Mu Ying's shoulder with some guilt.

"My royal brother is too serious, this is why the country is divided between the two. This is my brother's responsibility in the first place, how can there not be a burden?" Mu Sheng said magnanimously.

"No matter what the reason is, the assassination this time means that regardless of the outside or the outside, some hidden powers are starting to move." Xue Ruyun reminded him.

"That's right..." Mu Zheng walked to the door and looked outside, his face full of worry.

"I almost succeeded, but I didn't expect that I would be discovered by that woman at such a crucial moment. What a disaster!"

In the third prince's basement, Lin Zedong had already changed into a clean set of clothes and was feeling extremely vexed.

This Mu Rong Zhan had repeatedly injured Mu Lingfeng, and now it was known that he was going to fight for the throne. Mu Lingfeng had no choice but to take the risk and attack him.

"That woman is really a hindrance. She will ruin my plans every time. One day, I will definitely take care of her!" Mu Lingfeng clenched his fist tightly as he said this.

"This woman's skills are not bad. He and the prince are working together to track his down. If it weren't for the help from the heavens, I would have been familiar with the streets and alleys of the capital. Otherwise, I would have been caught long ago." Lin Ze was a top expert, but he had to admit that they were not bad.

"It's fine. The envoys from the comfort zone will be arriving in the capital soon. They won't be able to investigate this matter with us." At first, I didn't want to trouble you this time because I'm afraid of exposing your identity. However, the mansion is heavily guarded, and Mu Sheng is a martial arts expert. Besides you, there's really no one else who can take care of him. " Mu Lingfeng said gratefully to Lin Zekou.

"You and I have long been friends of life and death, and you still want to say these things?" Lin Sanjiu waved his hand.

"Alright, then I'll contact you next time if anything happens." Mu Lingfeng cupped his hands towards Lin Zedong and quickly ordered his men to send him out.

"Xue Ruyun!" Mu Lingfeng gritted his teeth in anger. This time, she had used someone as powerful as Lin Zizai, but it was all ruined by Xue Ruoyun. She was truly hateful, and it seemed like she had to get rid of her.
