Disguised as a man, she became the biggest villain in the book.

Chapter 127 Testing

Quan Yuyuan woke up from his coma, and after a few days of recuperation and rest, his physical condition has improved significantly.

That day, Quan Yuyuan was leisurely resting in the courtyard when Liu Fu came running up, panting and looking flustered, shouting, "Young Master, the Young Master has a message, a message!"

Quan Yuyuan frowned slightly and scolded with displeasure, "What are you shouting about! What exactly is this letter?"

Liu Fu, panting heavily, hurriedly explained, "I don't know either, but the messenger specifically instructed that this letter must be delivered to you, Your Highness." With that, he handed the envelope to Quan Yuyuan.

Quan Yuyuan took the letter, opened it with a hint of displeasure, and read it. After finishing, he looked up, his gaze sharp as he looked at Liu Fu, and asked, "Who sent this letter?"

Liu Fu tried hard to recall the scene and replied, "It seems to have been delivered by the Guo family."

Quan Yuyuan asked in confusion, "The Guo family? Which Guo family?"

Liu Fu scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then replied, "It seems to be the Guo family of Guo Lingyue, the Minister of War."

Quan Yuyuan immediately understood. He carefully examined the contents of the letter again. It said that he knew who had assassinated the young master at the banquet that day, and then invited Quan Yuyuan to meet at the Bamboo Cinema three days later.

Prime Minister's Mansion

Zheng Luoqi sent Boyu to investigate Miss Guo, and they actually found out something.

Guo Yashi, daughter of the Minister of War, was saved by Zhang Zhiyan at the last Xiaochun Banquet, and that was the second time he had saved her.

The first time Zhang Zhiyan saved her was when Guo Yashi was shopping on the street and was harassed by thugs. It was Zhang Zhiyan who chased them away.

At that time, Guo Yashi wore a veil when she went out, and Zhang Zhiyan did not know who she was, but Guo Yashi knew who he was.

Since then, Guo Yashi has never missed a banquet where she could meet Zhang Zhiyan. Before that, Guo Yashi was not someone who liked to attend various banquets.

Before meeting Zhang Zhiyan, Guo Yashi attended only a handful of banquets. But ever since Zhang Zhiyan chased away the hooligans harassing her on the street, Guo Yashi has frequently appeared at various banquets.

Although the two have never officially met, it is not difficult to see from their travel records that Guo Yashi is never seen at any banquet where men and women can dine together, unless Zhang Zhiyan attends. Guo Yashi is always seen at any event where Zhang Zhiyan is present.

Guo Yashi probably knew that her family and the Zhang family were political enemies and that she had no chance, so she kept a close eye on Zhang Zhiyan without ever bothering him.

It wasn't until Ye Churan was investigating officials from the Prime Minister's faction and the Grand Commandant's faction that she noticed these two families. These two families happened to be important officials from the Prime Minister's faction and the Grand Commandant's faction. Originally, she wanted to see where to start, but by following the clues, she found out that Zhang Zhiyan had saved Guo Yashi.

Then they sent a female official, ostensibly from a neutral party but actually from the imperial faction, to secretly contact Guo Yashi and befriend her. Finally, the female official devised a plan to make Guo Yashi fall into the water at the Spring Festival banquet and arrange for Zhang Zhiyan to marry her.

Guo Yashi was tempted. Since she had the opportunity, why not give it a try? And that's how the events at the Spring Festival banquet happened.

So that's how it is. No wonder the Guo family listened to Ye Churan and plotted to frame the Zhang family.

At this moment, Boyu entered and respectfully reported, "My lord, there's been a situation with the young master!"

"Someone saw a servant from the Guo family delivering a letter to the Prince's residence!"

"The Guo family? Why would the Guo family send a letter to the young master? It's probably because the Grand Commandant has made his move!" Zheng Luoqi said with a mocking smile.

"Are you sure it's someone from the Guo family? Go check it out, and send more people to keep an eye on the young master!" Zheng Luoqi ordered.

"Yes!" Boyu respectfully withdrew.

"Wait, go and call Zisang over!" Zheng Luoqi ordered.

Soon after, Zi Sang arrived at Zheng Luoqi's study.

"My lord, what can I do for you?" Zisang asked respectfully.

"Go and find out how good Ye Churan's martial arts are. Take a lot of people with you. Don't kill him, just see if you can hurt him. If you're discovered, run away. Don't linger!" Zheng Luoqi instructed.

"Yes!" Zisang accepted the order and withdrew.

That night, under the cover of darkness, Zisang led five or six assassins to quietly approach the room where Ye Churan was.

Unexpectedly, there were quite a few guards outside Ye Churan's room.

The assassins brought by Zisang exchanged glances, quickly understanding each other's intentions. Two or three of them immediately took action, quietly circling behind the guards, intending to create a commotion to distract them.

"Who?" The guard was startled as he saw several dark figures flash by.

"Chase!" The guards immediately led their men in pursuit.

At the same time, Zi Sang seized the opportunity and sneaked into Ye Churan's room. He tiptoed to the bedside, and while Ye Churan was fast asleep, he raised his sword and cautiously approached her.

Just then, Zisang suddenly sensed a dangerous aura coming from behind. Alert, Zisang turned around and, without hesitation, raised her sword and thrust it back.

When Zi Sang saw who it was, she was startled—it was Ye Churan! It seemed that the commotion caused by the assassins distracting the guards had awakened Ye Churan.

Ye Churan and Zisang quickly started fighting in the room. Zisang swung his sword and slashed at Ye Churan's neck. Ye Churan was startled and immediately lowered her head, rolled to the side where the swords were placed, and quickly drew the sword from it to fight with Zisang.

"Bang bang bang!"

After Zisang and Ye Churan exchanged a few blows, the assassin guarding the door gave a signal that the guards had returned.

Seeing that things were going well, Zisang turned and jumped towards the window.

Seeing that Zisang was trying to run away, Ye Churan quickly chased after her, shouting, "Don't run!"

Zi Sang glanced back, a cold smile playing on his lips, and thrust his sword at Ye Churan once more.

Before Ye Churan could dodge, Zisang suddenly swung his sword forward.

Ye Churan was shocked and quickly raised her sword to defend herself.

"Pfft!"

Zi Sang slashed Ye Churan's arm with his sword, and blood immediately stained Ye Churan's sleeve.

Ye Churan cried out in pain and then covered her arm with her hand.

At this moment, Ye Churan could only watch helplessly as Zisang and the other assassins escaped.

Ye Churan then realized that those people hadn't come to kill him, but only to test him.

"My lord, my lord! Are you alright!" The guards who had returned at this moment heard the commotion inside Ye Churan's room and discovered that Ye Churan had been stabbed by an assassin.

"Quickly, go after them!" The lead guard immediately ordered his men to chase after the assassins.

"I'm fine!" Ye Churan said coldly, watching the assassins' retreating figures.
