In short, there were no major casualties.

Therefore, although the assassination sounded serious, it did not cause much trouble.

Ying Ning knew nothing about other details.

All she knew was that not long after the assassination, the emperor declared Gu Changyuan the crown prince.

However, now that she knew there were no casualties, Ying Ning was not in a hurry. She simply returned to the cave, made herself a warm lounge chair with hay, lay down comfortably, and waited peacefully for her elder brother to come to her.

As soon as her mind relaxed and she felt sleepy, she fell asleep again without realizing it.

When I woke up, it was pitch black inside and outside the cave.

It was quiet everywhere.

Ying Ning climbed outside. She didn't know what time it was. The fire in the distance was still there, but there was no movement at all.

Finished?

Why hasn't eldest brother come to see her yet?

Could it be that something unexpected happened?

Many things have changed in this life, and it is difficult to say whether other things will go wrong with the assassination.

After all, there were no women here last time, but this time there were princesses and many noble ladies. Most of them were powerless and had no ability to protect themselves in the face of assassins.

As the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, the eldest brother is fully responsible for the security work this time. If a noble girl from any family is kidnapped or injured by an assassin, it is impossible for the eldest brother to ignore it due to his temperament.

If he didn't come to find me, would he be hurt?

What's more...

Yingning didn't dare to think about it, so she quickly left the cave, mounted her horse, and returned to the camp.

There was a mess everywhere, the tents were burned to pieces, and there were a few corpses. Ying Ning found a torch and rummaged through them carefully. Except for the guards, they were assassins dressed in black.

There are no princesses, ladies, father, brother, or other princes and nobles.

There is no emperor or princes.

In the huge paddock, apart from these burned-out tents and a dozen corpses, there was no one else, not even a horse.

It was as if everyone else had disappeared out of thin air.

This made Ying Ning a little uneasy.

No matter what others do, the eldest brother knows where she is and there is no way he can leave her alone.

Something bigger must have happened, so that the elder brother didn't bother to come to her.

Now, Yingning can only find a way to leave here and return to the capital.

She first went to find a few tents that were not burned down and were relatively complete. She found some wine, dry food and other items to keep out the cold. She also found a gorgeous sable coat. On a terrible winter night, she didn't care who it belonged to.

, wrapped warmly, mounted the horse, brought dry food and drinks, and started on the way home.

After walking for more than an hour, when her buttocks were almost bruised by the horse, a streak of fish belly white appeared on the horizon.

This indicates that daybreak is coming.

Ying Ning calculated the time and route, and was about to dismount and rest for a while, but she saw a carriage rushing out of the thorn, slamming into a tree, and stopped with a crash.

Ying Ning was startled and quickly jumped on her horse to escape, but when she caught a glimpse of the royal emblem on the carriage from the corner of her eye, she stopped.

That kind of regulated carriage is usually used by princesses.

Are the ten princesses there?

Although these ten princesses are the legitimate princesses, they are not domineering in temperament. Instead, they have spoken for her many times.

The relationship between Ying Ning and her can't be said to be good, but it's not like they're on bad terms either.

In this wilderness, if she was injured, she would starve to death and freeze to death, which Ying Ning couldn't bear with her conscience.

After thinking for a while, she cautiously approached the carriage.

From the gap in the broken carriage, she saw a bright yellow dress.

That is……
