Xie Ji: "Assassin?"
The guard nodded and told him everything he had just witnessed. "Yes, Your Majesty discovered the assassin, right here in your palace. Your Majesty was very angry and worried about your safety."
Hearing this, Xie Ji showed a hint of surprise on his face.
He felt mixed emotions. Xie Shizhu had just pushed him away, but now she was worried about his comfort.
Isn't he just wishful thinking?
But soon, Xie Ji threw this idea out of his head.
The imperial sister was going to get married soon, and he could no longer stop her.
Xie Ji said, “Yeah.”
After saying this, he turned around and went back to the hall.
Even when I lay down, my heart couldn't calm down.

Zhuo Ping failed again.
When he reported this to Zhong Changyao, Zhong Changyao looked at him without any change in his eyes.
But I already have an idea in my mind.
Zhuo Ping betrayed himself.
If you can't even do such a simple thing, it can only mean that you have second thoughts.
Zhong Changyao tapped the tabletop rhythmically with his fingertips, saying with a half-smile, "I don't blame you. From now on, you can stay in the palace and don't have to take these risks anymore."
Zhuo Ping thought he had misheard and asked blankly, "Master..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhong Changyao interrupted him: "This is a medicine for your injury. Take it internally. It will heal your leg injury quickly."
Zhuo Ping was delighted because this was the first time his master cared about him.
He quickly took the medicine and said with a smile, "Thank you, Master."
Zhong Changyao smiled slightly, his eyes were cold, and he waved his hand: "Let's go."
Zhuo Ping nodded and left with the medicine.
After he left, Zhong Changyao sneered.
It’s indeed time for Zhuo Ping to leave.

The next day.
The assassin was not found in the entire palace.
Therefore, Xie Shizhu got angry in the court.
This was the first time she had a dark face, and the ministers were so scared that they lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Xie Shizhu exhaled deeply, "You are a bunch of useless people. With so many people, you can't even find an assassin. What's the use of you?"
She was in no mood to continue the discussion and quickly withdrew from the court.
As soon as she left, the ministers who remained in the court looked at each other in bewilderment.
"This is the first time I see His Majesty angry. What happened?"
"I heard that the assassin attacked Prince Yi's palace at night and angered His Majesty."
Xie Ji listened to their singing in unison without any expression.
Originally, Xie Ji was unmoved, until a minister said something that made him feel as if a feather had brushed against a part of his heart.
"Your Majesty truly cares about Prince Yi. No matter what happened in the past, Your Highness always resolved it calmly. He only gets angry when it comes to Prince Yi's safety."
Xie Ji's heart was beating very fast.
He suddenly regretted it.
No, no matter what, the imperial sister can only be his.
He didn't allow anyone to have anything to do with his sister.
Even the King of Boats can’t do it.
