"What happened?" Lin Jiaojiao asked Shiyi after sitting down.
Hehua had already been helped up by Xuemei.
Shiyi replied with a bow: "Your Highness, after this young lady left the Prince Manor and walked about 200 meters, she turned out of the sight of our guards. When I arrived at the scene, she had just encountered the assassin. There was only one attacker, but he was quite skilled in martial arts. I didn't pursue or engage in battle."
"Assassination?" Lin Jiaojiao's face darkened, and she turned to look at Hehua.
Hehua was obviously frightened, barely surviving an attack from an assassin whom even Shiyi admitted was highly skilled.
Looking at the bandage on Hehua's neck, it was clear that the assassin had struck by the time Shiyi intervened.
Fortunately, her injuries didn't seem too severe since she could still sit up.
Who would want to assassinate Hehua, and for what purpose?
