"Zhao'er, Situ Yao will be interrogating those assassins in three days. What do you think about this?"
"Mother, why are you so anxious here? Father doesn't know anything about this matter. I can't believe Situ Yao actually hid it from Father and secretly detained those assassins in the prison. Mother, if Situ Yao finds out everything, I'm afraid that we, mother and son, will not be able to escape."
Although Situ Zhao said this, it was not difficult to tell from his tone that he was joking.
"Alright, Zhao'er, it's already this late, and you still have time to joke around? I've already sent people to deal with these assassins. They won't be able to appear before us again during the interrogation in three days."
Concubine Bai showed a smug smile, as if everything was under her control and there would be no mistakes.
"Mother, you are wise. If that is the case, I will return first..."
Situ Zhao turned around and was about to leave when he looked back at the palace maid beside Concubine Bai. The palace maid was so frightened that she almost dropped the thing in her hand to the ground.
"Mother, this maidservant beside you is quite pretty. Could you give her to me as your personal maidservant?"
Faced with Situ Zhao's unreasonable request, the palace maid beside Concubine Bai hurriedly knelt down and begged.
"Your Highness, I have been serving you for some time. I only want to serve you wholeheartedly and don't want to leave you. Please, Your Highness, please help me and don't let me leave you, okay?"
The palace maid begged desperately, but Concubine Bai would not be soft-hearted because of the two eyeballs she dropped.
"Zhao'er, of all the maids around me, every time you take a fancy to one, you have to take one away from me. I've taken so many maids away, but I don't think they can serve you well. This maid has been with me for some time, and I believe she can serve you well. Since you like her, take her back. Remember, don't make too much noise, or your father will know and get upset."
Concubine Bai only wanted to make her son happy and not anger the emperor.
"Don't worry, mother. How could there be any commotion? Since there's nothing wrong, I'll take my leave. Why don't you all take her and return with me?"
Situ Zhao ordered his men to take the maidservant beside Concubine Bai back. While being dragged away, the maidservant was still begging bitterly, trying to make Concubine Bai change her mind and let her stay. Even if she had to endure Concubine Bai's domineering behavior, it was better than worrying about her life every day beside Situ Zhao.
However, Situ Zhao changed his mind as soon as he came out from his mother's place.
"Take this maid back to my palace."
When they heard the order, they did not dare to slack off at all.
"Don't follow me, I have other things to take care of."
He said this directly, and at this time Situ Zhao went to the side hall where an important woman was recovering from her injuries.
No matter what, it was all thanks to this woman last time. If it weren't for her, my father would have died by now. But at this moment, Situ Zhao was a little unhappy.
When she saw Situ Zhao coming, Cui Mixue's face was still calm.
"I am so grateful to you this time. If you hadn't saved me, I really don't know what would have happened to my father."
He said this directly, and at this time Situ Zhao looked at the woman in front of him, although she was a little spoiled.
But she looks very sweet.
The desire to protect was slowly aroused at this time.
The conversation between the two became much more ambiguous.
Even Cui Mixue herself felt a little uncomfortable.
Su Mengyan was indeed a little at a loss on the way back to the palace.
Yun Fu also noticed her discomfort at the first moment.
"Don't worry too much."
When Su Mengyan heard Yun Fu's words, she still couldn't recover from her shock. What she was worried about now was not just the assassins.
And at this moment, when she looked at Situ Yao in the study, she also had some other feelings.
Come to his side and grind ink for him.
"By the way, there's something I've kept in my heart for a long time, and I always feel like I have to tell you about it."
He said this softly.
Even Situ Yao felt that it was a bit mysterious. He stopped what he was doing and waited for the next story the woman in front of him would tell.
"Why is it so meticulous?"
Even Situ Yao felt a little uncomfortable with the look of wanting to say something but hesitant, but no matter what, he was still a little curious.
"It's nothing serious. I just wanted to tell you that last time, I took it upon myself to come up with this method to help Yunfu avoid the arranged marriage."
Situ Yao was surprised by this sudden sentence.
"And Yunfu and I planned all of this specifically because we didn't want you to accept the Emperor's arranged marriage, and we didn't want you to be upset about it."
When listening to these words, Situ Yao's face remained calm. If he was really brooding over this matter, there was really no need to do so.
"I thought it was something serious. Now that it's over, let's not bring it up again, or it will affect our relationship."
When Su Mengyan heard Situ Yao say this so casually, her face naturally became much happier.
I am no longer in a depressed state like before.
"By the way, I still have some grudges about this matter. If you make such a self-determined decision again in the future, I will never let you off easily, so I don't want this to happen a second time."
Just when Su Mengyan thought that everything was easily resolved, she suddenly heard these words.
At this time, Su Mengyan didn't dare to say anything more, but just nodded.
After another day, the emperor finally woke up completely. The last assassination attempt had indeed had a great impact on him.
Concubine Bai was very happy when she knew that the emperor had woken up.
"Your Majesty, you finally woke up."
With a tearful look on his face, he said this.
"My beloved concubine, there is no need to worry so much. I am fine now."
The scene must have changed at this time. It was an emperor who had just woken up and was coaxing a concubine who was doting on him.
"By the way, Your Majesty, this time, it was thanks to Cui Mixue that she risked her life to save him, so no serious mistake was made."
