A sharp arrow flew suddenly from outside the door. The third prince was startled and hurriedly pulled Jiang Jingran into his arms and blocked the arrow for her with his body.
boom!
The Hexin wine in their hands fell to the ground and shattered in response.
Stab——
The long arrow passed through the third prince's arm, tore his wedding clothes directly, and stabbed hard into the pillar behind Jiang Jingran.
After the arrow passed, it gradually became calm outside the door.
The third prince gasped, suppressing the stinging pain on his arm and softly comforted him.
"It's okay, Ran'er, don't be afraid."
"Your Highness, how are you doing, Your Highness?"
Jiang Jingran withdrew from the third prince's arms and looked at him anxiously.
The third prince looked down at his bruised arm: "It's just a minor injury, don't worry Ran'er."
Only then did Jiang Jingran notice the long bloody gash on the third prince's arm. Her pupils trembled and she yelled with red eyes.
"Someone is coming, someone is coming quickly! There is an assassin!"
"Doctor, where is the doctor? His Highness is injured, please treat His Highness quickly!"
The doctor and guards rushed over quickly.
The guards searched the Furong Courtyard and finally returned to the third prince, kneeling on the ground with his hands clasped in fists.
"Your Highness, no trace of the assassin has been found."
The third prince waved his hand: "Please step aside, there is no need to make this matter public."
"yes!"
After the guards retreated, the palace doctor also bandaged the third prince's wounds. Just as the palace doctor was about to speak, the third prince issued an order to expel him.
"You should also step back. Don't tell others about my injury."
"Old slave, save it."
Seeing the gauze wrapped around the third prince's arm, Jiang Jingran felt extremely distressed.
"Your Highness, why are you so stupid? Why do you want to block my arrow?"
The third prince raised his hand to wipe away Jiang Jingran's tears and looked at her lovingly: "Ran'er, now that you have married me, you will be my wife from now on and the person I will protect throughout my life."
"Not to mention blocking the arrow, even if it costs me my life, I will be happy to do so."
Jiang Jingran was so moved that he immediately threw himself into the arms of the third prince and wrapped his arms around his waist.
"Your Highness, why are you so kind? Ran'er is lucky to marry His Highness."
The third prince hugged Jiang Jingran and let her cry softly in his arms.
After a while, Jiang Jingran's trembling heart gradually calmed down. She hugged the third prince's waist tightly and looked up at him.
"Your Highness, that assassin was so audacious that he dared to sneak into the mansion and assassinate him. This time it is inevitable that there will be another time. Your Highness must not take it lightly! Let alone let him go so easily!"
The third prince's eyes flashed slightly and he looked at her without changing his expression: "What do you think of Yi Ran'er?"
"Report this matter to my father. The assassin sneaked into the prince's mansion on the wedding day to assassinate me. My father will definitely not just sit back and ignore it after he finds out!"
Jiang Jingran always kept her identity in mind. Now that she was married to the third prince, she had already consciously changed her title without being reminded by others.
The third prince shook his head, feeling helpless.
"It's useless. What my father wants to see most is the harmony between our brothers. Even if he knew about the assassination, he would only express a few condolences secretly and not conduct a thorough investigation in a big way."
"Instead of causing trouble to my father, it's better to swallow this breath and pretend that nothing happened."
Jiang Jingran heard what he meant, and his eyes widened in disbelief: "Brothers are in harmony? Your Highness means...whose princes sent the assassin tonight?"
The third prince's silence was the best answer.
Jiang Jingran clasped his hands into balls and asked tentatively: "Does Your Highness know who is behind the scenes?"
The third prince smiled bitterly: "Forget it, don't mention it. I don't want Ran'er to be involved in these things, and I don't want you to be dragged down by these things."
Jiang Jingran sat up straight after hearing this and looked at the third prince with a solemn expression.
"Since His Highness and I have become husband and wife, we will become one person in the future. Your Highness's affairs are my business, so why bother?"
"Or is it that His Highness's words are all deception, and he doesn't treat me as the closest person to him?"
Jiang Jingran's eyes were red and he bit his lower lip, holding onto I Jian You Lian just right.
Seeing this, the third prince hurriedly explained: "Ran'er, no, that's not what I meant. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Jiang Jingran pressed forward and grabbed the third prince's hand: "Then your highness, why don't you tell me the truth soon?"
The third prince looked at her with a struggle between his brows. Under Jiang Jingran's gaze, he spoke with difficulty.
"It's the Crown Prince and the Royal Brother..."
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince?"
Jiang Jingran was stunned when he heard this answer.
She thought about the second prince and the fourth prince, but she never thought about the prince who was as gentle as jade and friendly to others!
"How could it be His Royal Highness?"
Jiang Jingran murmured softly, unable to figure out the reason.
"My father doted on my mother and concubine, which caused my mother and my father to separate. It is understandable that the prince and brother targeted me and wanted to take my life. I don't blame him."
The third prince closed his eyes with a sad expression and explained with a wry smile.
Jiang Jingran came back to her senses and felt very distressed when she saw the third prince with a bitter look on his face. She held the third prince's hand tightly.
Looking at him solemnly.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Ran'er will definitely do his best to protect His Highness!"
The third prince smiled suddenly and shook his head helplessly: "It's enough for Ran'er to have this heart. As the crown prince and the prince, all the officials and courtiers are facing him. Even if this is the truth, no one will believe it. "
"Even I can't do anything about the revenge of the prince and brother. Ran'er, a weak woman, what can you do to him?"
Jiang Jingran pursed his lips and looked at him seriously: "Your Highness, although Ran'er is a weak woman, Ran'er has the entire Prime Minister's Mansion behind her."
"So Your Highness, you are no longer alone. Now that you have Ran'er, as long as His Highness needs it, the entire Prime Minister's Palace can become His Highness's support!"
"I'm lucky to be able to marry Ran'er."
As soon as the sound fell, the third prince pressed his lips against Jiang Jingran's, intertwining his lips and tongue with hers. Jiang Jingran was quickly pinned under him.
Seeing that the third prince was about to make the next move, Jiang Jingran half pushed and said: "Your Highness, your arm..."
"No problem."
The red curtain fell and the room was filled with joy.
Half an hour later, Jiang Jingran had fallen asleep.
The third prince glanced at her lightly, stood up and walked towards the door.
The third prince came outside the courtyard and took cover in the bamboo forest.
"Is everything done?"
"Back to Your Highness, everything has been arranged."
"Well, keep watching, it's best to make sure he never comes back!"
"yes!"
"Back off."
After the third prince finished his instructions, the man in black did not retreat directly. He raised his head and looked at the third prince's left arm: "Your Highness, your injury..."
The third prince's expression remained unchanged: "No problem, just a minor injury."
"It's all because of my subordinate's failure to control his strength, which caused His Highness to be injured. Please punish me!"
