Hong Fang nodded slightly, tacitly acknowledging Zhuge Rou’s words.
Won’s matters are best handled by won, after all, the harem is indeed a battlefield for won.
Several carriages from the Hong Residence left the palace gates and headed towards the Hong Residence.
On the deep night of the Ghost Festival, the streets bathed in the bright moonlight, the whole street was lit up clearly, and at a glance, not a single figure was to be seen.
In the carriage, Hong Fang furrowed his brows, inconspicuously glancing outside the carriage.
Hong Fang, having achieved his position today, had made many enemies, and the number of people who had attempted to assassinate him was not small. He had always been cautious when traveling.
"Master, you’ve had so wine tonight. When we get back, I will serve you to bed early," Zhuge Rou said softly, her charming face full of concern.
"Thank you for your troubles, Madam," Hong Fang said, embracing his lovely wife and planting a kiss on her forehead.
The couple had been married for more than a decade and still shared a love as fresh as it had been at the beginning.
A figure was hidden in the shadowy parts of the street. If one didn’t pay close attention, no one would notice that a person was lurking there.
Anger blazed in Ye Huangyu’s eyes as she focused on one of the carriages. On the carriage, the figures of two people were faintly visible.
Hong Fang, you heartless man, you’ve lived comfortably these past years with a beloved wife and a houseful of children while she and her daughter Ling Yue have struggled to survive at the Ye Family.
Ye Huangyu had been in Xia Capital for so ti, and she had secretly visited the Lan Residence, seeing her daughter Ling Yue getting along well with the Lan family. It was then she quietly left.
Originally, she wanted to find an opportunity to infiltrate the Hong Residence and assassinate Hong Fang and Zhuge Rou.
However, Ye Huangyu soon discovered that the defense of the entire Hong Residence had beco countless tis stronger compared to when she left.
Not only that, there was also a very strong presence of Primordial Power within the Hong Residence. The fluctuations of that power clearly belonged to the Old Marquis of the Hong Residence, who had broken through to the Fifth Level of the Reincarnation Realm and was constantly monitoring the movents of the entire Hong Residence.
Ye Huangyu had not found the opportunity to mix into the Hong Residence and could only lurk outside, planning to attack when Hong Fang went to court or went on inspections.
As the current Crown Prince’s Grand Protector, Hong Fang was mostly within the palace and Ye Huangyu could not find an opportunity until this evening when she finally found a chance.
The carriages of the Hong Residence had turned a street corner, leaving only the last carriage and two guards. Ye Huangyu rembered clearly, that was the carriage Hong Fang usually used to go to court, and he was inside it.
Ye Huangyu had waited a long ti for this mont.
A net made of Moon Iron sprang up from the ground, trapping the horse and carriage firmly beneath it.
"Hong Fang, your life is forfeit."
Ye Huangyu dashed like an arrow, her figure flashed by the side of the carriage, and a strong force of Primordial Power emanated from her palm, piercing directly into the carriage.
The carriage, made of high-quality Moon Iron, shook as the horses pulling it let out a neigh and collapsed with a boom.
Ye Huangyu was well-prepared, and her hands produced two smoke bombs, which she threw into the carriage.
Inside the carriage, chaos ensued.
"Assassin! Soone is attempting to assassinate the Crown Prince!"
Suddenly, cries for help were heard, and Hong Fang descended from the sky, striking a blow towards Ye Huangyu.
Ye Huangyu, dressed in black, shrunk her eyes when she saw Hong Fang.
Hong Fang was not in the carriage.
Two figures rolled out from the carriage, one being the panicked Hong Yulang and the other the Crown Prince of Daxia.
It turned out, the Crown Prince had drunk too much at the banquet that evening, and was being escorted back to the Crown Prince Mansion by Hong Fang’s son, Hong Yulang, in the carriage that Hong Fang usually used. anwhile, Hong Fang and his wife and daughter were in another carriage.
The Crown Prince was attacked, and the streets instantly erupted with noise as countless guards from the Hong Residence and the Imperial Army rushed over like a tide.
Ye Huangyu knew that tonight’s assassination had already failed.
With more and more Imperial Army soldiers surrounding her, Ye Huangyu’s eyes flickered, and she struck towards Hong Fang with her palm.
The fist wind was piercingly cold, and the two exchanged a blow.
An Elixir Realm expert?
Hong Fang had been aware of soone following behind the carriage, he feinted a move, and the Crown Prince beca his scapegoat.
"Hong Fang, I will kill you." The voice of the black-clad person made Hong Fang’s face change.
The black-clad person turned out to be a woman, and her figure gave Hong Fang a sense of déjà vu.
A silhouette flashed across his mind like the glint and flash of cold steel.
A na that had vanished from Hong Fang’s mory for over a decade jumped out.
Ye Huangyu!
Surprised by the realization, Hong Fang saw the black-clad person pounce on him.
Ye Huangyu knew that today’s assassination attempt had failed and that she would never have another chance. To make matters worse, she had mistakenly attempted to assassinate the Crown Prince, aning that whether dead or alive, she would have no chance for redemption.
Better to stake it all to kill Hong Fang and fulfill her long-held wish.
Thinking of this, Ye Huangyu had the resolve to die, her figure flitted like the wind, her fists cast shadows everywhere, and in an instant, the guards within several ters were forced back by the gust generated by her Primordial Power.
Ye Huangyu unleashed her Divine Power, striking down several guards of the Hong Residence.
Hong Fang, upon seeing her palm technique, had thousands of thoughts running through his mind and beca even more certain that this was indeed Ye Huangyu.
"Catch her alive."
He flickered and landed in front of Ye Huangyu, facing her palm with his own.
Already a Reincarnation Realm Expert, Hong Fang struck with his palm, Ye Huangyu’s delicate body trembled, and the profound Primordial Power from her opponent caused her blood to surge violently, and with a loud boom, her knees suddenly sank into the ground.
The cobblestone shattered into powder, and Ye Huangyu was directly forced by Hong Fang’s Primordial Power to sustain internal injuries.
Unexpectedly, Hong Fang, who had been almost equal in cultivation with her years ago, had made such rapid progress in strength over the past decade. Ye Huangyu closed her eyes, feeling utterly disheartened.
Alas, alas, she ultimately failed to kill this faithless man.
Seeing the guards from the Hong Residence swarm like locusts, Ye Huangyu was about to be captured alive.
At that mont, a few black objects rolled over, coming to a stop by the feet of the guards from the Hong Residence and Hong Fang.
Following the torchlight, Hong Fang looked closely and when he recognized the black objects, his brow twitched, and the unflappable Crown Prince’s Grand Protector bellowed.
"Everybody scatter, it’s Thunder Bombs."
Unexpectedly, there were accomplices.
No sooner had Hong Fang spoken than he grabbed Hong Yulang and the Crown Prince, spreading his wings like a giant bird, he had already leapt a hundred ters away. At the sa ti, a figure swept past, lifting the injured Ye Huangyu and made a dash in the opposite direction with explosive speed.
Boom boom boom, three Thunder Bombs exploded simultaneously.
The entire street was like a spring thunder hitting the ground, dust billowing, and the carriage was blown to bits.
"Who are you?" Ye Huangyu, injured and weak, asked.
"Mother, it’s ." The person who had rescued Ye Huangyu pulled down the cloth covering her face, revealing a face that Ye Huangyu was more familiar with than any other.
