"No way, no way, you're lying to me!!"

"Nothing is impossible. Who are you? Do you need my father, the emperor, to lie to you?"

Qin Ruoxi directly asked the assassin the same question.

"You said the prefect of Ancheng reported it, and it's possible he said that to you, but he's afraid of being implicated for inaction and is therefore deceiving you."

The assassin knelt on the ground, stunned for a long time, before kowtowing repeatedly in Qin Jue's direction.

"Your Majesty, it was my fault for misjudging people and causing you harm. I am willing to atone with my life and beg Your Majesty to send someone to Ancheng!"

After the assassin finished speaking, he kept kowtowing to Qin Jue.

Normally, this assassin would have been dragged out and beheaded by Qin Jue, but he survived because Qin Ruoxi was present today.

"A death sentence may be waived, but punishment is inescapable."

"As for Ancheng, I will send someone there tomorrow."

"This humble subject thanks Your Majesty for sparing my life."

After Qin Jue finished speaking, he turned and sat on the dragon bed. Qin Ruoxi glanced at the kneeling assassin on the ground, her eyes darting around before she looked at Qin Jue.

"Father, please give him to me."

"Since Xi'er wants it, then give it to Xi'er."

"Take him away."

Following Qin Jue's order, Zou Heng took the assassin away, and Sanhezi and Qingye also discreetly withdrew.

"Xi'er, aren't you going back to sleep?"

"No, I want to see Father asleep before I go back."

Xiao Xi'er also sat on Qin Jue's dragon bed, stubbornly saying...

Unable to do anything else, Qin Jue lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

A quarter of an hour later, after confirming that Qin Jue was asleep, Qin Ruoxi got up and left Yangxin Hall, returning to Xiang'an Palace.

After Qin Ruoxi left, Qin Jue, who should have been asleep, opened his eyes, turned over, and curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"Yan'er, our daughter really does look just like you."

After saying something nonsensical, Qin Jue closed his eyes and started to sleep.

Xiang'an Palace

Qin Ruoxi returned to Xiang'an Palace but didn't immediately go to her room to sleep. Instead, she stood in the courtyard and called out to Qingye.

"Qingye, where is he?"

"I'll bring him here right away."

Before long, the assassin was brought before Qin Ruoxi and made to kneel.

"May I have your name?"

Why should I tell this little princess?

The assassin glanced at Qin Ruoxi disdainfully and hissed.

The assassin had barely finished speaking when Qin Ruoxi, seemingly out of nowhere, slashed his right arm with a dagger.

If you look closely, you can see that this wound is slightly larger than the wound on Qin Jue's arm.

"Why are you, my delicate little princess, so irritable?"

"To tell or not to tell?"

"Anzhuo"

Qin Ruoxi nodded. "They're very bold, actually trying to assassinate my father."

As she spoke, Qin Ruoxi used the dagger in her hand to cut a wound on An Zhuo's left arm, causing An Zhuo to grimace in pain.

"Hmm, not bad, it's symmetrical, not bad-looking."

Hearing Qin Ruoxi's words, An Zhuo was completely dumbfounded.

"Little princess, you're not a pervert, are you?!"

An Zhuo had barely finished speaking when Qing Ye kicked him two meters away, yelling, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"

"Qingye, why are you arguing with him? People like him deserve to be dealt with with a knife."

Qin Ruoxi handed the dagger in her hand to Qingye.

An Zhuo clutched his chest, watching Qing Ye approach him with a dagger, and panicked. "What are you going to do? I already said the death penalty is waived!"

"Not doing anything."

Qingye grabbed An Zhuo by the collar and used her light-footed skill to leave.

After watching Qingye leave, Qin Ruoxi went back to her room and called Qiumei. Qiumei, confused, knelt on the ground.

"Qiu Mei, you are mine."

Upon hearing Qin Ruoxi's words, Qiu Mei understood immediately and quickly kowtowed to Qin Ruoxi.

"Princess, spare me! This servant..."

"Father is fine this time, but what if something happens to him?"

"This servant knows her mistake, Princess, please spare my life!"

"Alright, remember you're one of my people. I don't want this to happen again."

"yes"

After saying this, Qiu Mei saw Qin Ruoxi gesturing for her to leave, and then she withdrew.

Lying in bed, Qin Ruoxi thought that all her people were given to her by Qin Jue, so naturally they would obey Qin Jue's orders.

If it weren't for Qingye tonight, she would never have known that her father was injured. This time it was a minor injury, but what about next time? Qin Ruoxi dared not think further.

Qin Ruoxi had the idea of ​​nurturing someone to take care of her.

They learned of the incident at Xiang'an Palace the following day. However, they didn't say anything and even instructed the Dark Guard to cooperate with Qin Ruoxi.

The next morning at the imperial court, Qin Jue brought Xiao Xi'er with him to the Golden Palace.

"Do any of you ministers have something to say?"

The ministers, bewildered by Qin Jue's words, exchanged glances but remained silent.

"Then let the princess speak."

"Xi'er, you tell us," Qin Jue said, looking at little Xi'er.

"Yes, Father."

After answering Qin Jue's question, Xiao Xi'er turned to look at the ministers below.

The ministers below looked up with curiosity at Qin Ruoxi, who was sitting in the chair next to Qin Jue's dragon throne.

Under everyone's curious gaze, Qin Ruoxi slowly opened her mouth.

"Does anyone know about Ancheng?"

Upon hearing Qin Ruoxi's words, the ministers began to discuss among themselves.

"Has everyone finished discussing?"

Upon hearing the voice, all the ministers fell silent, stood at attention, and prepared to listen to what Qin Ruoxi had to say.

After everyone had taken their positions, they were all dumbfounded. No one had expected that they had started listening to Qin Ruoxi like this.

Before anyone could think any further, Qin Ruoxi spoke.
