The person who tried to assassinate her was someone from the palace!
Hu Xiao turned pale with fright, her mind raced, and in that moment, she seemed to understand something.
At this moment, the sound of anxious footsteps came from outside the door. Hu Xiao was overjoyed, knowing that her reinforcements had arrived.
On the contrary, the assassin was extremely anxious. He sent Hu Xiao flying, but Hu Xiao was not willing to let him go and chased after him.
"If you have the guts to assassinate me, why don’t you have the guts to stay?" Hu Xiao scoffed, the viciousness on her face was obvious.
The Assassin ignored her and continued to think of ways to leave the place. Following that, Hu Xiao picked up a small stone from the ground and struck the Assassin like lightning.
Hu Xiao coincidentally struck his acupuncture point, causing Hu Xiao to laugh proudly: "I see that you are still running, do you think women are easy to bully? "What a joke!"
"Hu Xiao, are you alright?" In the bright moonlight, Lu Yin saw Hu Xiao’s proud face with a glance. He came to Hu Xiao’s side and asked in concern.
Just now, Lu Yin and the rest were hiding outside, when he heard the shouts in the house, he immediately brought his men in.
Hu Xiao shook her head, smiled and said: "I’m fine, see that he was the one who tried to assassinate me."
Saying that, Hu Xiao pointed to the direction of the black clothed man, Lu Yin looked in the direction of the voice, there was no black paint there, there was no black clothed man!
"Hu Xiao, she escaped!" Lu Yin said unceremoniously, there was sarcasm in his voice, he had already ran away, what was there to be proud of!
Hearing this, Hu Xiao opened her mouth wide in disbelief. She did not even look at him and blurted out, "Impossible, he’s obviously ..."
As she was speaking, she turned her head to look. Halfway through her words, she immediately swallowed her words. She was surprised. She had clearly pointed at his acupuncture points, so how could he still run away!
"Hmph, whatever. She won’t come back anyway. The exam will start tomorrow." Hu Xiao comforted herself as she blushed red all over. The ducks in her mouth had all flown away and she had lost all her face.
Other than Lu Yin, all of the Imperial Army present heard her words.
The women who were hiding in the houses came out one after another. They had lingering fears as they looked all around, afraid that danger would descend once again.
Hu Xiao glanced at them, she cleared her throat and said: "Everyone, don’t be afraid, with me here, I won’t let anything happen to you all."
"Do you see, these are the royal family’s Imperial Army, they will protect you well." Pointing at her Imperial Army, Hu Xiao confidently added.
"Empress, this humble subject has come late." A loud voice came from outside, Hu Xiao squinted her eyes and looked towards the door, seeing Zhao Qiyan’s figure.
More than ten Imperial Army s followed behind Zhao Qiyan, and they brazenly entered.
"Participate in Empress." Everyone spoke out in unison as they cupped their hands and bowed towards Hu Xiao.
Empress?
The girls in the room looked at each other, their eyes shining with excitement. Standing in front of them was Empress!
Hu Xiao said loudly: "Get up, I’m fine. Unfortunately, the assassin ran away." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Saying that, Hu Xiao sighed, her heart was filled with regret, she thought, if she could catch the assassin, she would be able to ask who the mastermind was later.
Seeing that Hu Xiao did not deny it, the girls were all excited. She was really the Empress!
"Empress, it turns out that you have always been with us. This is truly too inconceivable." Amongst the females, there was a person who dared to say that Hu Xiao seemed to be amiable and easy to get along with, which was why there were people who dared to get close to Hu Xiao.
"Empress, after what has happened, we were originally very afraid, but after seeing you, we will become brave."
This was the first time they had seen Empress in their entire lives, and also the first time they had come into such close contact with the Empress.
Not to mention the daughter of a commoner, even the daughter of a high official was extremely excited at this moment.
Hu Xiao understood what they were thinking, and with a smile, she consoled them: "Ladies, don’t worry. I have always been with you girls, and the matter of the women’s test, was brought up by me.
Hu Xiao paused for a moment, then continued, "It’s late at night, the girls should go back and rest.
"Empress, will those people return?" It was unknown who asked this from the crowd, but it sounded like her voice was somewhat shaky.
"It’s okay, I’ll send Imperial Army to protect you guys. Tonight, you can all sleep in peace." Hu Xiao patted her chest, and promised solemnly.
Then, she turned around to look at Lu Yin and, and said: "Let’s go, don’t disturb their rest."
Along the way, Hu Xiao’s thoughts were heavy. She was extremely regretful that she did not think well of the assassin.
"Hu Xiao, are you still thinking about the assassin?" Lu Yin smiled mysteriously, his bright eyes staring straight at Hu Xiao.
"Nonsense, a living person running in front of my eyes, how can I not be angry!" Hu Xiao said in a dejected manner. The other party had escaped, but she did not realise it, she thought, if Qin Shuo knew, he would definitely laugh at her.
"What a blessing!" Lu Yin said indifferently. He replied simply, which piqued Hu Xiao’s interest.
What did Lu Yin mean by that? Why couldn’t she understand?
"Lu Yin, speak clearly. I do not know what you are talking about. Hu Xiao asked urgently. If the assassin was caught, that would be fine. She didn’t need to be so regretful.
Zhao Qiyan could not bear to see Lu Yin being so slow, so he snatched the words and said generously: "You are such a chatterer, just like a woman, can’t you just directly tell the matter to Empress!"
"Empress, the assassin’s departure was part of our plan. Our men followed him along the way, and discovered that he had entered the Minister Wen’s manor. That’s why we suspect that this matter is related to the Minister Wen." Zhao Qiyan did not voice his displeasure, and directly explained the situation clearly.
Hu Xiao and he were the most compatible, and she was such a straightforward person.
Hearing his words, Hu Xiao slapped her thigh and said angrily: "You ran into Minister Wen’s house? He was sent by the Minister Wen? "
Minister Wen, this old bastard, is still restless even when he’s ill, and he still dared to do such a thing.
Hu Xiao was furious, she gritted her teeth and said, "This old bastard, the older he gets, the more muddled he becomes. He can even do such a thing, truly shameless!"
Was it really possible for him to create trouble for a woman’s residence!?
"I’m going to get even with him!" Hu Xiao said fiercely, this kind of person was not fit to be a high ranking official of East Court, making small moves in the dark, this was something everyone despised.
