The next day.

Du Jin's carriage left Daodefang and walked along the Luoshui River for a short distance before preparing to cross the Tianjin Bridge.

To the north of Tianjin Bridge is the Imperial City, so there are not many people on the bridge, only some officials are walking in a hurry.

When the carriage got on the bridge, an official turned his head and took a look. Many documents he was holding fell to the ground and scattered all over the floor. He quickly bent down to pick them up, blocking the way.

"Wait a moment."

"Hurry up..."

Before the coachman finished speaking, he was suddenly startled.

"boom!"

The bridge deck suddenly exploded, and Du Jin's carriage was blown to pieces. As the collapsed bridge deck was lifted up, it fell heavily into Luoshui.

Pedestrians on both sides of the strait were immediately frightened and panicked, running away with their heads in their hands.

Some people reacted too slowly. When they came to their senses, they looked towards the bridge again and saw only the broken bridge and the big hole left on the ice. The carriage and the people on the bridge were gone.

In this situation, it is obviously impossible to survive.

Gradually, those who had escaped crept back, looking around and talking.

"Which important official of the imperial court was assassinated?"

"It seems to be the carriage of Prime Minister Du Gong."

On that day, news of Du Youlin's assassination spread throughout Luoyang.

Only a few people knew that the person who was assassinated was Du Jin, who was more powerful than Du Youlin...

~~

Nanshi, Fenghui Bank.

Du Jin bit her nails unconsciously and stared blankly at the body that was carried back, with a murderous aura lingering about her body.

"It's so dangerous. How did Er Niang know that someone was going to assassinate you?" Da Xi Yingying asked.

"I have no idea."

"I don't know?"

"Yes." Du Jin said, "I only know that someone is secretly following Wu Lang. I thought there is no point in following that idiot. He must be trying to find out my whereabouts, so I used a cover-up when I went out today."

Da Xi Yingying was confused and murmured: "Following Wu Lang and assassinating Er Niang... What is the connection between these two things?"

She thought about it and said, "I don't think anyone can know Er Niang's whereabouts by following Wu Lang."

"Yes, I can think of one person who can grasp my whereabouts today, has the ability to obtain explosives, and has a motive."

"Mr. Yan?"

"Um."

The two were silent for a while, then Da Xi Yingying said: "So it seems that Mr. Yan is determined to give up on Your Majesty?"

Du Jin said: "Today, I originally wanted to discuss this matter with him."

While talking, there was a knock on the door outside.

Da Xi Yingying was very surprised and asked: "Since I have been told not to disturb you, who dares to come?"

She immediately became vigilant, thinking that even Fenghui was not safe anymore, right? Then she picked up a dagger for self-defense.

"It's me."

Suddenly there was a voice outside the house.

After hearing this, Du Jin was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to open the door, and saw Xue Bai standing outside.

She was so surprised that she immediately rushed over and hugged Xue Bai.

"Why is Your Majesty here?"

Xue Bai patted Du Jin on the back and said, "I heard that you were assassinated. I was very worried."

"Well, you have to be careful about your father-in-law. He is not a bad person, but he has too much to protect and may have abandoned you."

When Da Xi Yingying saw the two people being intimate, she couldn't help but lower her head, but something came to her mind.

Someone followed Du Wulang and then decided to assassinate Du Jin. There may not be any connection between them.

"May I ask, has your majesty met Du Wulang first? If so, today's assassination is probably aimed at your majesty..."
