C27 (2/2)
Cheng Violet Garden immediately flew in the direction the arrow came from. After that, a few black-clothed men began fighting with her. Cheng Huaiye also quickly joined the battle.
The assassination this time was obviously aimed at Cheng Huaiye. Whether or not the assassination was successful, and Helian Xuan was assassinated in the house of the Marquis, Cheng Huaiye would not be blamed for it.
The house of the Marquis was still a family of generals after all. It didn't take long for the guards of the house and Cheng Ziyuan to subdue them. However, these people were clearly Death Soldiers. They all died after being captured.
”Your majesty, these people all took the poison in advance. It's obvious that they planned this long ago.”
Cheng Zi Yuan bowed and reported to Helian Profound Wings. Helian Profound Wings had encountered this sort of thing many times before, so he accepted it easily.
”It's alright Yuan, are you hurt? Before, your injuries weren't completely healed, but now, did you get any lacerations? ”
Before he could finish his words, Cheng Huaiye had already walked up to him.
”Your majesty, please punish this subject for his crimes. It was this subject's fault for protecting the emperor when he was assassinated in the manor.”
Cheng Huaiye immediately kneeled down and begged for forgiveness. Helian Xuanyin no longer bothered about Cheng Yuan's injuries and stepped forward to help him up.
”My beloved one did a great service to save you, why would she blame you? ”Master Hou, don't worry. These people have already assassinated me more than once. We will find the mastermind behind this sooner or later.”
Because he encountered an assassination attempt at the Marquis Mansion, Helian Xuan Yi could not stay there any longer. Even if he wanted to stay, the ministers did not agree. In the end, they could only leave resentfully.
When all these matters were settled, Cheng Huaiye personally went to Cheng Zi Yuan's embroidery building. Although the Violet Garden had previously forbade random people from entering the pavilion, Cheng Huaiye never thought of himself as a random person.
”Yuan, father came to find you to discuss what happened tonight.”
Cheng Ziyuan knew that his father had come back to find him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
”Father, if there's anything you want to say, just say it. Tonight's assassination was planned by someone who already knew where the emperor was. It seems someone wants to stir up the relationship between the emperor and the family.”
This matter had already been put on the surface, there was no way that Cheng Zi Yuan wouldn't understand.
”That's right, Yuan'er. However, it is impossible for the emperor and the marquis to suspect each other. It's just that the emperor's safety is truly worrying. Father has come to find you to tell you about this.”
Cheng Ziyuan didn't know of the relationship between her and the Emperor's safety, but when she transmigrated, she had opened her eyes and protected the Emperor's safety. Was she destined to protect him?
”Father, what does the safety of the Helian Profound Wings have to do with me?”
Leng Qing had always been a killer, and of course, completing the mission was also a killer. Although she didn't really want this life, if this was really the mission of Purple Garden, she would definitely do it with her life on the line.
”Yuan, do you know why dad sent you to study when you were six?”
This question was something that even the real Zi Yuan did not know, let alone the one he had now. Cheng Zi Yuan looked at Cheng Huaiye and shook his head, hoping that he would give him an answer now.
”Yuan, you have a superpower, which is something that many people know about. I sent you out to study, firstly, to protect yourself from being used by others, and secondly, for you to protect the emperor.”
Cheng Huaiye's words silenced her. Many people knew about his Discipline. If this were to be used by someone, it would be a big problem for him.
Now, she had to thank Cheng Huaiye for his foresight. Right now, she was extremely strong. She could feel the energy in this body, but she still hadn't learned how to use it properly.
However, there was still one more question. Why did she need to properly protect Helian Profound Wings? She took a deep look at the guilt, confusion, and guilt all over her face. She understood that some things were not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Presently, the only thing she understood was that her reason for learning was to properly protect the Helian Profound Wings. Not bothering about other things she didn't know about, she nodded and said lightly to Cheng Huaiye, ”Okay, I understand. I will protect the Helian Profound Wings well. ”
Cheng Zi Yuan's mission had always been to complete the mission on his own. Since protecting Helian Profound Wings was her mission, she would work hard to achieve the best.
Cheng Huaiye didn't expect the Violet Garden to agree so quickly. Initially, he was also hesitant about staying with his own daughter after much difficulty. He was afraid that she would have to leave now.
I know you are very smart, Yuan'er. I know what your second mother and Jun have done together, so you can be very good at dealing with it. Father is very happy, and I hope that you can also be very flexible when protecting the Emperor in the future.
As if he still wanted to say something, Cheng Huaiye choked up. In the end, he did not say anything. After all, he was personally sending his daughter to risk his life, so he felt very upset.
”I know. In that case, I will enter the palace tonight.”
Lei Li had always been like Zi Yuan. Since he had accepted the mission, she would do her best to complete it. Whether it was time or quality, she would definitely be very satisfied.
”Yuan, don't be in such a rush. Come with me to the palace tomorrow morning. You have to be careful, okay?”
In the end, Cheng Huaiye still couldn't help but exhort his daughter a few times, but Zi Yuan didn't seem to listen to him.
