The scenery in Kyoto is somewhat different from that in Lucheng, yet also somewhat similar.

A place teeming with people is inevitably a brothel or red-light district.

"Kill her!" A soft voice suddenly rang out from the corner, and then four horses suddenly went berserk and crashed into Su Jiaoniang.

The guards tried to stop the horse.

He was stopped as soon as he made a move.

The guards were stopped, and the secret guards finally appeared. Killing the runaway horse was extremely easy for the secret guards.

He was holding a crescent-shaped knife.

He jumped onto the horse's back.

She grabbed the horse's reins, but the frenzied horse remained unchecked and continued galloping towards Su Jiaoniang.

The guard plunged a knife into the horse's head.

Just then, a hidden arrow shot towards Su Jiaoniang.

Su Jiaoniang picked up the little girl, rolled on the spot, and dodged the archers shooting from the shadows.

However, after their initial failure, these men did not retreat as quickly as the assassins they usually encountered.

Instead, they are determined to achieve their goal.

They targeted the weakest among them, Su Jiaoniang.

Holding the little girl in one arm, Su Jiaoniang blocked the knife that was being pointed at her, and with a swift movement, snatched away a heavy, bloodstained knife.

He severed the assassin's head with a single stroke.

When more people came, Su Jiaoniang seemed completely unaware of fear or pain, heading straight for the weakest and most fatal parts of the human body. No one understood the human body, bones, and muscles better than her.

So...

They finally managed to slowly turn the tide.

The guards and bodyguards protected Su Jiaoniang and Xiao Ya behind them.

The killing continues! As for leaving any survivors, there's absolutely no need.

Some things are better learned from these assassins than from killing them and investigating them yourself. If you can't find out, it's because you're not skilled enough; if you can find out, that's fine too.

...

The ground was covered in corpses and blood.

Su Jiaoniang reached out and covered the little girl's eyes, repeatedly saying, "Don't be afraid, don't look, it's okay!"

Until Lu Wujiu appeared, the two rode in Lu Wujiu's carriage back to the mansion.

Lu Wujiu glanced at Xiaoya, then his gaze fell on Su Jiaoniang. She had a cut on her arm, which was already bandaged, but her leg was also bleeding…

"Does it hurt?" Lu Wujiu had a million things to say, but the moment he saw Su Jiaoniang, he could only ask these two words.

Su Jiaoniang shook her head: "It doesn't hurt!"

Lu Wujiu laughed out loud.

"How could it not hurt? Is there anything uncomfortable?" His gaze fell on her stomach.

Su Jiaoniang chuckled, "I'm fine, just a little tired. I need to rest for a while!"

Fortunately, she has always been exercising and has never stopped training her body.

There are exercise methods for pregnant women.

The carriage sped along the road and finally returned to the mansion.

The doctor was already waiting in the main courtyard and immediately began examining the sleeping person.

"Since you've disturbed the fetus, eat more blood-nourishing supplements, but don't consume too much of any one type!" the doctor carefully advised.

If other ladies were in such a situation, they would probably be so frightened that they would have miscarried, and the child might not have survived. The woman the prince likes is extraordinary. Apart from losing a lot of blood, her belly was well protected.

Of course, the wound was serious, but the blood loss was not excessive.

This bandaging technique is quite interesting.

He seemed to have seen him before.

But I can't remember clearly.

Fortunately, this bandaging method prevented the blood from flowing out.

It was confirmed that Su Jiaoniang was fine, she was just asleep.

Lu Wujiu breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the tiny little girl standing beside him: "Are you scared?"

"No!" Xiaoya shook her head.

"You stay with my mother, I'm going to sleep now, I was frightened too!" the little girl said, walking outside.

Just then, I saw the pagoda walking in from outside.

The Buddha statue was covered in frost and had a few drops of blood splattered on its face, making it look eerie and cold.

The Buddha was still holding a knife, and countless people had died under that knife.

Xiao Ya pursed her lips. In terms of intelligence, she was the worst in the family, and in terms of reaction ability when faced with problems, she was also the worst in the family.

She's so useless.

The distressed maid paced back and forth alone in the mansion.

I paused for a moment after reaching a certain point.

Watching the people burning paper money in the corner.

She approached and heard Gu Lingzhi rambling on and on: "I don't remember you. I heard that you liked me very much. No one has burned paper money for you all these years. You must have had a hard time. I will burn paper money for you every day during this time. You must be well in the underworld."

I will be fine in this world.

My father is very good to me.

My father has found a new woman. She cooks very well and is very generous. She doesn't care at all that I'm here.

She also has a daughter, who is very cute!

I am neither alone nor lonely.

Although it is quiet and austere, it is not poor.

Don't worry!

Gu Lingzhi rarely spoke in front of Xiaoya.

They wouldn't say anything in front of others.

Only now, facing the large rock, holding a stack of gold and silver ingots, did he burn them one after another.

It seemed like he had endless things to say.

He kept muttering to himself.

Xiao Ya leaned against the tree, listening to Gu Lingzhi's lonely ramblings.

My mind suddenly calmed down.

Why is she sad?

Although she was the least capable and most useless person in the family, all the smart people in the family loved her the most.

She has many friends.

Dog Flower, Chengxu, and Xiaohuan.

She has her husband's love and care, while Gu Lingzhi only has a huge rock!

Thinking about all this, Xiaoya quietly left.

Most people don't want others to hear them say these things from their hearts.
