"Yes." The young princess was a filial child, so Yuan Xian naturally agreed.
After instructing Yuan Xian, Su Xuening turned to Wu Shou and said, "Those white powders are poison. Be careful when you're cleaning up the bodies, and don't touch them."
Wu Shou glanced at the white powder on the faces of the men in black and quickly bowed, replying, "Yes."
At this moment, Wu Shou's respect for Su Xuening was not only due to her various noble statuses, but also because he admired her abilities and methods.
"Then I'll leave this to you. We'll head back now."
Su Xuening was still a little worried about Xiaobao, so she nodded to Wu Shou and Yuan Xian, and then left with Xuan Yuanzhan.
Wu Shou stared at Su Xuening's receding figure, lost in thought.
This woman truly lives up to her title as the Crown Princess of Western Liang, the Empress of Eastern Chu, and the Princess of Northern Wei. Her innate noble bearing is something that no ordinary woman can match.
Now, as he looked at her back, he felt he was desecrating her, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and ordered the Azure Dragon Guards to dispose of the corpses of the men in black.
Wu Shou recalled the day the Emperor had ordered him to deliver the bodies of the black-clad assassins to the residences of the three princes, and frowned as he asked Yuan Xian, "Eunuch Yuan, should we dispose of these bodies of the black-clad assassins directly, or should we wait until the Emperor wakes up and ask him before proceeding?"
If they had dealt with it in advance, and the Emperor woke up tomorrow and wanted to send the assassins' bodies to the Prince's mansion, wouldn't they have nothing to send to the Prince's mansion?
Yuan Xian also felt that this matter was of great importance. The young princess was of noble status, and such a thing must be reported to the emperor in the palace: "Let's ask the emperor after he wakes up tomorrow."
"Yes." Wu Shou actually thought so too. He instructed the Azure Dragon Guards to move the black-clad assassin's body to a safe place and deal with everything after the Emperor's visit the next day.
As soon as Su Xuening returned to the East Palace, she was surrounded by Su Renzhong, Duanmu Junyu, and Su Yun'an: "Are you alright? Did those people attack you?"
Su Xuening gave them a reassuring look: "I'm fine. They probably wanted to arrest me, but they were all poisoned to death by my poison powder."
Su Xuening went to wash her hands before returning to take the baby from Duanmu Junyu's arms.
Duanmu Junyu said angrily, "I guess they just can't steal Xiaobao, so they've set their sights on you."
Su Xuening reassured them, "It's alright, they can't possibly catch me. Not only do I have the sentry given to me by Xuan Yuanzhan, but I also have poison to protect myself. Moreover, I can summon the Vermilion Bird divine beast. How could those people possibly have a chance to catch me? Whether they want to catch Xiaobao or me, it's all wishful thinking!"
Su Xuening's words did indeed calm everyone's restless hearts.
Indeed, those people would never succeed if they tried to use such methods!
The news of the failed capture attempt in the palace reached Helian Zheng's ears before dawn, which enraged him so much that he started smashing things at home again.
The next morning, as soon as Helian Rong woke up, Yuan Xian told him about Su Xuening's attack in the palace the night before.
Helian Rong was immediately alarmed and asked anxiously, "Is the girl alright?"
Yuan Xian, fearing he was anxious, quickly comforted him: "It's alright. The little princess carries poison with her and poisoned all those men in black to death. Moreover, the little princess used her whistle to summon the Emperor of Eastern Chu. The little princess is very clever, and the Emperor of Eastern Chu cares about the little princess very much. He came right away, but by the time he arrived, all those men in black had already been poisoned to death by the little princess. He didn't even have to lift a finger."
Hearing that Su Xuening was alright, Helian Rong breathed a sigh of relief, but then angrily said, "It must have been those two unfilial sons, Helian Zheng and Helian Jun, who did it again. They just couldn't steal Xiaobao, so they set their sights on the girl!"
Seeing Helian Rong's anger, Yuan Xian advised again, "The young princess said that you should not get angry. Last night, in order to let you sleep peacefully, the young princess specially instructed this old servant to wait until you woke up before reporting everything to you. Now that the young princess and the young master are both safe and sound, you must not get angry because of the two princes and affect your health."
Upon hearing this, Helian Rong took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed his anger.
It must be said that Yuan Xian understands his thoughts very well and is also very good at comforting him.
His health is the most important thing right now. He really shouldn't have lost his temper over those two unfilial sons and ruined the girl's hard work!
After calming his anger, Helian Rong finally spoke again: "What happened to the bodies of those assassins?"
Yuan Xian quickly bowed and said, "Commander Wu did not dare to act on his own and is waiting for your orders."
Helian Rong raised his chin at Yuan Xian: "Bring them in."
"Yes," Yuan Xian replied, and went out to call Wu Shou in.
"Your Majesty," Wu Shou hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
Helian Rong said with a cold look in his eyes, "Send the bodies of those assassins from last night to Prince Rui's residence and tell him that if he tries anything like this again, he shouldn't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Yes," Wu Shou replied, bowed, and withdrew.
After Wu Shou left, Helian Rong looked at Yuan Xian and said, "Get rid of all those people who stuffed the second and fourth princes into the palace. Don't leave a single one alive!"
He knew that the second and fourth princes had been restless these past few days, and he guessed that they had already sent quite a few people into the palace.
"Yes." Yuan Xian quickly replied and led his men to carry out their tasks.
Early in the morning, Wu Shou led the Azure Dragon Guards, carrying the corpse of the man in black, and went to Prince Rui's residence in a grand procession.
Looking again at the gruesome corpses of the assassins filling the hall, Helian Zheng felt like he was going crazy!
Who are these people?!
Even a little girl is this amazing!
It can also be poisonous?
So many assassins, and she managed to take them all out with just a packet of poison?
Did she know how difficult it was for him to plant so many people in the palace? She actually ruined all his hard work with just a packet of poison!
Seeing Helian Zheng's ashen face, Wu Shou thoughtfully relayed Helian Rong's words: "His Majesty instructed me to tell the Prince that if you continue with these petty tricks, don't blame His Majesty for turning ruthless!"
As soon as Wu Shou said this, he was immediately met with a venomous glare from Helian Zheng.
Wu Shou's heart pounded, and he couldn't help but explain, "I was merely relaying a message for the Emperor. Now that I have delivered the body and the message, I shall take my leave."
The Prince Rui's eyes were like they wanted to devour someone, so Wu Shou dared not linger and immediately left with his men.
As soon as Wu Shou left, Helian Zheng was so angry that he wanted to kick the corpses, but looking at the white powder on their faces, he didn't dare to do it.
These people were poisoned to death!
Just as Helian Zheng was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it, Helian Jun arrived.
Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Helian Jun knew what had happened without even asking. He frowned and said, "Failed again?"
