Not long after, the two servants returned.
One person was leading a yellow-throated dog, and the other was leading a black dog.
Two servants stood beside Fang Zixu, and then Fang Zixu raised his hand again and knocked on the door.
Qin Jingke, who was inside, saw another knock on the door after a while. He frowned, went to the door, and opened it.
When Qinling opened the door and saw Fang Zixu again, he immediately tried to close it, but this time he clearly failed.
The moment the door opened, Fang Zixu glanced at the two servants beside him.
The two quickly understood Fang Zixu's meaning, and as soon as the door opened, they gave orders to Da Huang and Da Hei.
The two dogs, one big yellow and one big black, kept barking at Qin Jingke.
Hearing the dog bark, the people in the side room all looked towards the door.
That's when Fang Zixu was seen standing at the door.
Qin Jingke was annoyed by the two dogs barking fiercely at him, so he took two steps back and went into the room.
"Sister, look, he's using the dog to scare me! He's definitely trying to scare you with the dog."
"Xi'er, you have no idea. Qin Jingke locked me out for half an hour."
Qin Jingke immediately complained to Fang Zixu, but unexpectedly, while Qin Jingke was complaining, Fang Zixu also started complaining.
Qin Ruoxi was completely exasperated by what the two were saying. She simply ignored them and turned back to watch the opera.
After watching the play, the group went to a nearby restaurant.
Fang Zixu looked at Qing Ye standing next to Qin Ruoxi and asked, puzzled.
"Xi'er, who is he...?"
"This is my personal bodyguard, Qingye."
Fang Zixu frowned slightly as he looked at Qing Ye, but quickly relaxed his brow.
After the meal, the group went their separate ways.
Upon returning to the palace, Qin Ruoxi first went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, where she chatted and laughed with Qin Jue. As dusk approached, Qin Ruoxi returned to the Xiang'an Palace.
That night, Qin Ruoxi was sound asleep when she heard a commotion and sat up in bed.
"Qiu Mei, Qiu Mei?"
Hearing the shouts, Qiu Mei hurriedly entered Qin Ruoxi's room. "Princess, this servant is here."
"What's that sound? It's so noisy!"
"Yes... there was no sound."
"???"
Qiu Mei wanted to speak, but remembering what Sanhezi had just told her, she immediately shut her mouth.
Qin Ruoxi looked at Qiu Mei with a puzzled expression.
"Is nothing wrong?"
"No, but... there is indeed something. I heard that the inner palace was burgled, and Commander Zou is leading men to catch the thief."
Qiu Mei repeated to Qin Ruoxi what Sanhezi had told her.
After speaking, he looked up at Qin Ruoxi and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't suspect anything.
"You may leave now, I'm going to sleep."
"yes"
Qin Ruoxi lay down on the bed and covered herself with the blanket. Qiu Mei drew the curtains beside Qin Ruoxi's bed, then blew out the candles in the room and left.
Upon hearing that Qiu Mei had left, Qin Ruoxi immediately opened her eyes and sat up in bed.
"Blue Night"
As Qin Ruoxi finished speaking, Qing Ye pushed open the door and walked in.
Standing outside the screen, the "princess"
"What happened?"
There is an assassin.
"The one who assassinated Father?"
"yes"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ruoxi immediately got out of bed.
Qingye frowned when he saw Qin Ruoxi walk out barefoot, wearing only her undergarments.
He quickly grabbed a cloak and a pair of embroidered shoes from the clothes rack beside him and followed Qin Ruoxi.
After leaving the room, Qin Ruoxi used her lightness skill to go directly to Qin Jue's room in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Princess??"
"Avoidance"
Sanhezi was stunned to see Qin Ruoxi, who shouldn't be there. Then he saw Qin Ruoxi wearing only her undergarments and a cloak, yet she was giving orders to the eunuchs and maids in the hall.
Qin Ruoxi ignored Sanhezi and walked towards Qin Jue's dragon bed inside.
Reaching the doorway, Feng Feng saw Qin Jue shirtless, bandaging Qin Jue's arm, and quickly ran towards him.
Standing in front of Qin Jue, she wanted to cry but held it back, her eyes red as she looked at him, her voice trembling with tears.
"Daddy~"
Qin Jue was displeased to see that Xiao Xi'er was barefoot and only wearing a coat, and immediately told Feng Feng to stop bandaging her.
He picked up a cloak and draped it over Xiao Xi'er, then picked up a coat, put it on himself, and pressed down on Xiao Xi'er's shoulders to help her sit on the empty bed.
He took the embroidered shoes from Qingye and was about to kneel down to put them on for Xiaoxi.
Xiao Xi'er stopped her, and immediately threw herself into Qin Jue's arms, crying, "Daddy~"
Qin Jue knew Xiao Xi'er was worried about him, so he didn't say anything. He reached out and hugged her back, gently patting her back to comfort her.
"Does it hurt...does it hurt?"
"It must hurt a lot, you're injured."
Xiao Xi'er, holding Qin Jue, murmured to herself with a choked voice.
"Father, it doesn't hurt. It's just a minor injury."
"It hurts, even when you're injured—"
Xiao Xi'er, her eyes red, stared at Qin Jue's injured arm as she spoke.
"Father, let me bandage that up for you."
"Put your shoes on first."
As Qin Jue spoke, he glanced at the embroidered shoes lying on the ground.
Xiao Xi'er glanced at it and immediately put it on. "Can I bandage Daddy now?"
"Sure, but no crying allowed, understand?"
Xiao Xi sniffed and rubbed her nose with one hand, "No way!"
"Okay," Qin Jue reached out and gently pinched Xiao Xi'er's nose. Xiao Xi'er looked at Qin Jue with accusing eyes, her red eyes filled with tears.
"Father, I'm a grown-up girl now."
"You'll always be a child in your father's eyes."
Xiao Xi sniffed and nodded. She rolled up the sleeve of Qin Jue's jacket over his injured arm.
Seeing the unraveling ribbons, Xiao Xi'er took them all down.
Seeing the horizontal wound on Qin Jue's arm, she couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.
Seeing Xiao Xi'er cry, Qin Jue felt unhappy himself and took out a handkerchief to wipe away Xiao Xi'er's tears.
"Don't cry, I'll give you candy later."
Hearing Qin Jue's words, Xiao Xi'er, who was crying sadly, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Daddy, you're just teasing me. I'm not three years old anymore."
"So what if you're not three? Whether you're thirteen, thirty, or sixty, you'll always be Daddy's daughter."
"Hmph, Father, you got hurt and didn't even tell me!"
Xiao Xi'er picked up another ribbon from the tray. Sulking, she refused to look at Qin Jue and said this.
"How did you know that?"
"I asked Qingye."
"See, you already know!"
Qin Jue tried to deceive them, but failed.
"That's because Qingye only obeys my orders."
Xiao Xi'er refused to look at Qin Jue, speaking in a huff. Qin Jue remained silent.
As she spoke, she bandaged Qin Jue's arm, and after bandaging it, she carefully tied a bow around Qin Jue's neck.
