Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 794: The Hunter Lady is the Savior of the Powerful Official 55

Three days before the Imperial Examination, the access control to the eldest prince's mansion was finally relaxed.

The eldest prince paced the courtyard in frustration. Three months had transformed him from a relatively elegant prince into the useless coward he was now. Impotent rage had become his daily routine.

"Waste! Waste! They are all waste!"

He kicked the stone at his feet away and looked at the butler's timid back as he retreated, his knuckles turning white.

He hasn't lost yet. As long as his father hasn't passed away and the third brother hasn't taken the throne, he still has a chance.

But the anger in his heart made him unable to do anything. The princess fainted from crying in the room many times. In the past, he would have gone to check on her long ago, but now he just wanted to let this crying fool from the Gao family die in the cold palace.

"Master, news has finally arrived from outside. It is said that Xiao Yunzhou, the third son of the Xiao family, is not only alive, but will soon take part in the palace examination."

Not long after the butler left, he walked in again with a black cloth in his hand, looking cautious.

"Xiao Yunzhou?"

The deposed prince turned around abruptly, memories suddenly flooding back.

Was that child in the moon-white brocade robe at the palace banquet Xiao Yunzhou, once considered by court officials to be the future's top strategist?

No wonder, no wonder the third brother seemed to have been reborn after the incident at the Xiao family in the past two years. It turned out that it was because of Xiao Yunzhou's assistance?

Back then, Xiao Yunzhou was just a child. Now it seems that instead of killing him, he allowed him to outmaneuver him and even caused him to lose his position as crown prince.

Damn it.

"Go, contact the secret guards!! Get rid of him before that so-called palace exam!"

The deposed prince now wants to see the process of his father gaining power and then suddenly dying, with everything coming to nothing. As for whether his father will pursue the matter, that is not within his consideration.

Anger and hatred left him no time to care about anything else. He couldn't kill his father, and he couldn't get rid of the third brother, so he decided to start with the soft persimmon he had let go before.

The housekeeper looked embarrassed when he heard this.

"Master, many of Fuli's secret guards have been killed, and..."

"And what? Not only do I need to use the secret guards, but I also need to use all the chess pieces I previously placed. I can't let Xiao Yunzhou have an easy time!

If he climbs to a high position, he will be another powerful force for the Third Brother. Do you want to be stepped on by him?!"

When the secret guards finally received the order from the deposed prince to eliminate Xiao Yunzhou, Xiao Yunzhou was copying calligraphy in his study.

The tip of the pen paused on the word "忍", and he suddenly laughed out loud.

The word "忍" is very interesting. On the one hand, it reminds him to endure the endless physical and psychological restlessness when facing Miaomiao, and on the other hand, it is to resist the urge to kill, to cut the flesh with a blunt knife, and not think about killing anyone who was once an enemy.

However, it took him some effort to reveal the news to the deposed prince at the right time, making the incident seem so coincidental.

Now that he knew he was still alive, based on his experience with the deposed prince in his two lifetimes, he would definitely not let it go.

"Three months to go."

Xiao Yunzhou tapped the table with his fingers, a hint of suppressed excitement flashing in his eyes.

"What to do for three months?"

Miaomiao yawned, put the book on the bookshelf beside her, and asked curiously.

The palace examination is about to begin, and Miaomiao feels that she can kick this clingy guy out of her room anytime soon. However, every time she thinks about it, she still feels regretful.

I always feel like I'm doing something that's hard to undo.

"Sister, my birthday is in three months. Will you grant me a wish then?"

Xiao Yunzhou held his forehead and chuckled, as if thinking about this birthday that was not long but had made him look forward to it for too long, he felt excited and unbearable.

"no problem."

Miaomiao said this subconsciously, but seeing the strange look in Xiao Yunzhou's eyes when he looked at her, Miaomiao added to her words.

"But, it has to be something I can do, and it has to be something that doesn't violate public order and good morals."

After Miaomiao finished speaking, she felt a little relieved, especially when she saw Xiao Yunzhou smiling warmly and nodding. He shouldn't have any strange wishes, right?

The first assassination attempt on Xiao Yunzhou arranged by the deposed prince took place in front of the Ling family's manor.

There were still two days before the palace examination when a feather arrow flew past Xiao Yunzhou's left shoulder.

Xiao Yunzhou stumbled in pain and bumped into the doorpost. The wound on his left side hit the doorpost again. Even though he covered it with his hand, blood still oozed out from between his fingers...

Miaomiao didn't expect that she was only half a day late because she wanted to go out to buy a red bean rice cake that she had eaten once before. Xiao Yunzhou said that he would accompany her to buy it, but when she was about to go out, he only came out a few tens of seconds earlier than her. How could that be?

Miaomiao almost subconsciously wanted to use her Qinggong skills to escape, but she heard Xiao Yunzhou's soft groan in her ears. In the end, she didn't run away. Instead, she went over to support him and helped him into the farm.

"Don't be afraid, sister. It may look scary, but I actually avoided it.

We have sent people to chase them, but the other party is well prepared, so the chances of catching up are low.

hiss......"

Xiao Yunzhou's voice was a little restrained, which made Miaomiao feel somewhat guilty. Why did she insist on eating that red bean rice cake?

"Let Doctor Zhang take a look first, make sure there's no more poison..."

Miaomiao frowned, confused as to who wanted Xiao Yunzhou dead, considering he was a descendant of the Xiao family and about to take the imperial examination. Or rather, who wanted him to be unable to take the examination?

“Don’t feel guilty, sister, this was an assassination attempt against me.

No matter what time I go out, he will be the first to shoot me with this arrow. Fortunately, I went out early.

If I were to be assassinated on the day of the palace examination, I would not be able to take the examination, and the damage to me would be fatal."

Xiao Yunzhou leaned pale in Miaomiao's arms. It was obvious that only one of his shoulders was scratched by the arrow, but he said that it was not serious, but his body leaned honestly in Miaomiao's arms, looking fragile and pitiful.

Miaomiao frowned. This was not a good thing. It meant that it was impossible for them to hide in peace in the manor.

Fortunately, Doctor Zhang arrived in time and took a look at Xiao Yunzhou's shoulder. He said it was only a minor injury and that he should not move his arm for the time being.

"Is he the deposed prince's man? He looks pretty useless."
