Suddenly, a guard clutched his stomach.
"What's wrong? Is it because the steamed buns went sour tonight? My stomach hurts a little!"
"I'm going to use the outhouse first!"
One of the guards left.
He had just left.
Another guard also clutched his stomach.
"My stomach is acting up too! I knew something was off about the steamed buns I ate tonight!"
After the two guards left.
Then came the third and the fourth.
In the end, all the guards left Chuxiu Palace because of stomach upset.
The assassin saw this.
At first, I thought they had discovered something and were deliberately colluding with each other.
It wasn't until they saw that the guards in other palaces had also temporarily left due to stomach upsets.
"If we don't act now, it will probably be too late by the time they return!"
The assassin immediately jumped down from the roof.
He slipped into the palace.
Consort Jin listened to the approaching footsteps.
I'm getting more and more nervous.
The assassin remembered Zhao Jieyu's instructions.
"You'd better kill Consort Jin without anyone noticing."
"Only without my biological mother did I have a chance."
The assassin walked to the bedside.
I glanced inside.
Consort Jin was sleeping with her face turned inwards.
The little princess was sleeping soundly beside Consort Jin.
The assassin picked up the knife.
I was just about to cut it down.
Suddenly.
I heard a scream behind me.
"An assassin!"
The assassin immediately heard footsteps outside.
The assassins didn't have time to kill Consort Jin.
He immediately picked up Ye Qianqian and prepared to rush out.
At this time.
The guards had already rushed in.
Consort Jin immediately sat up.
Who are you?!
The assassin glanced at the window to the side.
A somersault.
He simply picked up Ye Qianqian and rushed out.
Ye Qianqian was startled awake.
He looked up and saw the man in black in front of him.
I laughed.
[Holy crap! The assassin Zhao Jieyu sent actually came to capture me!]
[This is so much fun! Now I can really enjoy this game!]
The assassin glanced down at Ye Qianqian.
He frowned.
Why is this little girl so unafraid of strangers?
I saw that he didn't cry.
"Hey! Why aren't you crying? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
【What's there to cry about! Zhao Jieyu only spared my life so she could fight for custody!】
If you kill me, you won't get the bounty!
Even if you really wanted to kill me, my restored immortal techniques are more than enough to withstand your attacks!
[I'll just accept my role as a hostage and let you take me hostage!]
[What have all the palace guards been doing? Are they just a bunch of good-for-nothings? The theft of me, the princess, should be the talk of the town by now!]
[Why hasn't a single guard appeared? At least half a person should show up to symbolically protect this princess!]
Honestly, I feel utterly humiliated during this hostage situation!
[Where's the promised honorary status?!]
"stop!"
Suddenly.
Ye Qianqian saw torches lit up ahead.
And that voice just now was Father Emperor's!
[Oh dear! It's my father! My wise and mighty father has come to save me!]
[I knew it! Father would definitely find a way to rescue me from the assassins!]
[But Father, can you back down? I don't want to be rescued yet; I just want to be a quiet hostage!]
[This is a great opportunity to leave the palace and have some fun!]
Ye Ling was speechless.
This girl is really not afraid of this assassin!
She is indeed my good daughter!
However, they did not intend to save the person.
But ultimately, it has to be a show for the assassin!
"Who are you? On whose orders have you come to kidnap my daughter?!"
The assassin said immediately.
"The first rule of being an assassin is: never betray your master, no matter what!"
"I will absolutely not tell anyone. If word gets out, how will I ever be able to face the world again?"
"If you don't get any missions, you won't earn any bounties; if you don't earn any bounties, you won't be able to afford a room in the academy!"
"If I can't afford a house near a school, my wife will argue with me, and my child won't be able to go to school!"
"Therefore, I absolutely must protect my identity as an assassin!"
[Oh my goodness, he's a killer with a sense of family responsibility!]
If he weren't an assassin, he would definitely be a good family man!
Why is it necessary to have a private study room to attend the academy? Shouldn't this rule be changed?
Every child should have the opportunity to go to school!
Ye Ling was speechless.
My little princess!
Shouldn't you face reality?
You are now a hostage!
You actually have some sympathy for the person who kidnapped you!
After listening, Ye Ling began to discuss the terms.
"So, in the end, you didn't kill for the sake of killing, but rather you did wrong in order to buy a house near the academy!"
"I can order your child to study at the best academy!"
"In that case, you don't need to buy a house in the academy. As long as you don't harm the little princess, I can grant you any request!"
The assassin said immediately.
A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!
