After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

Cheng Shubai peeled grapes for Su Xiaoxi from time to time.

Su Xiaoxi occasionally raised her eyes to look at Cheng Shubai, her eyes were crescent like crescent moons.

Cheng Shubai sighed secretly when he saw it.

It turns out that she also has such a beautiful smile. She is indeed the most attractive girl.

The two were chatting happily when two women in palace clothes walked towards them, one was a little older and the other was younger, about forty years old.

The three of them stopped in front of Su Xiaoxi and Cheng Shubai. Their eyes first glanced at Cheng Shubai, and then fell on Su Xiaoxi.

"I have met Empress Shu, I have met Empress Zhaoyi."

These two were also concubines in the palace, and Su Xiaoxi knew them.

"Hey, isn't this princess? The injury on your foot has not healed yet. Why are you here?" The younger concubine among them looked at Su Xiaoxi's feet.

"I can go wherever I want. Concubine Shu has nothing to do with her, right?" Su Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes and stared at Concubine Shu coldly.

"Oh, princess, don't get me wrong. I only care about you. Look at how pitifully injured you are."

As soon as Concubine Shu finished speaking, the older concubine suddenly interrupted, "Since the princess is so seriously injured and should rest, why does she come out for a walk?"

"The princess is happy."

"Princess, Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhaoyi both care about you, how can you contradict me?" Concubine Shu's personal princess Xiaoyu said immediately, "Why don't you apologize quickly?"

When he said this, Xiaoyu's tone was slightly harsh and his eyes became sharp.

"Hmph, why should I apologize?" Su Xiaoxi snorted coldly, "It's not anyone else's turn to tell me what I do!"

"Princess, Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhaoyi have good intentions!" Xiao Yu seemed unwilling to give up and continued to preach: "You are treating Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhaoyi like this, even if your father is to blame, aren't you afraid? , after all, you are a princess!"

Xiaoyu's words are accurate and precise, every word is precious.

"Haha, who said I would be afraid of you?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Xiaoxi felt the hostile looks from Concubine Shu and Zhaoyi, but Su Xiaoxi was not afraid at all.

"What did the princess say?" A flash of panic flashed across Xiaoyu's face before she regained her composure.

"I said I don't need anyone's help or protection. I only believe in myself." After Su Xiaoxi finished speaking, she took Cheng Shubai's hand and walked forward.

This time, Su Xiaoxi's attitude was still strong and she never backed down.

Cheng Shubai looked at the domineering woman beside him, and couldn't help but feel a desire for protection in his heart.

Perhaps, marrying her as his wife would be the happiest thing, right?

"You always make yourself so tired." Cheng Shubai complained.

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows, "This is called hard work? What kind of hard work is this?"

"Ms. sir, I am exercising, do you understand?"

Su Xiaoxi said, letting go of Cheng Shubai's hand, sitting cross-legged on the ground, and then holding the little fur ball in her arms in front of her, "Look, I can fall asleep holding it."

Cheng Shubai couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

"Ms. sir, you must work hard. Tomorrow is the day of the imperial examination. I hope you can pass high school." Su Xiaoxi looked at Cheng Shubai expectantly.

Cheng Shubai lowered his head and stared at the woman in front of him. Her eyes were clear and clean, full of encouragement, which made Cheng Shubai feel warm.

He reached out and rubbed Su Xiaoxi's soft hair, "Yes." Cheng Shubai's voice was soft but extremely magnetic.

"I'm waiting for the wedding wine!" Su Xiaoxi laughed.

"..." Cheng Shubai couldn't laugh or cry.

He hadn't even figured out how to solve the major issue of his marriage, but she was already thinking about it.

Really frustrating.

While the two were talking, a burst of noise came from a distance.

Looking towards the source of the sound, I saw many guards pouring into the imperial garden.

"What's going on?" Cheng Shubai asked doubtfully.

Su Xiaoxi shook her head. She had only been in the palace for a few days and had no idea what was going on in the imperial garden.

When the guards who came in a hurry saw Cheng Shubai, they hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted, "I'm here to see you, my consort!"

Cheng Shubai waved his hand to signal everyone to get down.

"Prince-in-law, an assassin has broken into the Royal Garden, please leave as soon as possible!" the leading guard said eagerly.

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi's heart skipped a beat.

An assassin broke in?

"Whoever dares to trespass into the Royal Garden will be arrested."

As soon as Cheng Shubai finished speaking, he saw a black figure running into the flowers and disappearing.

Cheng Shubai's reaction was extremely fast and he quickly gave chase.

"You stay here and don't move!" Cheng Shubai warned Su Xiaoxi before leaving.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hu, hurry up and catch the assassin. I will just stay there." Su Xiaoxi waved her hand at Cheng Shubai.

Cheng Shubai nodded and left with the guards.

Su Xiaoxi stood there, feeling a little worried for a moment, but thinking that if she followed, she would only become a burden to Cheng Shubai, she could only endure it.

But she never expected that she would see the assassin escape with her own eyes and smash everything in the imperial garden to pieces.

That scene was so shocking that it made Su Xiaoxi feel heartbroken.

"what!!"

Su Xiaoxi's exclamation resounded throughout the imperial garden, because the assassin inadvertently trampled off a branch of a potted plant and rushed towards Su Xiaoxi.

The speed was extremely fast, as if it was going to kill Su Xiaoxi.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxi immediately used her three-legged cat skills to dodge and wanted to capture this person.

However, that man's martial arts was so superb that Su Xiaoxi couldn't resist and was knocked to the ground.

Seeing this, the man immediately drew out the sword hanging from his waist and pointed it at Su Xiaoxi's life, "Princess, I'm offended!"

As the man spoke, he stabbed Su Xiaoxi fiercely, and Su Xiaoxi rolled and crawled back to avoid it.

However, at this time, Su Xiaoxi found that the assassin's moves were very familiar.

Something flashed through her mind. Su Xiaoxi immediately closed her eyes, then concentrated her energy, then opened her eyes again, and a cold light flashed across her eyes.

The assassin's movements suddenly stiffened for a moment, and in this brief moment, Su Xiaoxi took advantage of it.

Flip your wrist, hold the dagger in the palm of your hand, and point it straight at the opponent's throat.

The assassin seemed to sense the danger and immediately retreated.

But it was too late. Before the assassin could turn around, Su Xiaoxi was already close, and the dagger stabbed towards the opponent's neck without hesitation.

The assassin was startled and raised his palm to meet Su Xiaoxi's dagger.

Suddenly, blood splattered everywhere, falling drop by drop on the grass.

The assassin covered his bleeding chest and looked at Su Xiaoxi in disbelief. The next second, he saw the assassin falling straight back, with bright red blood flowing on his chest, which was shocking.
