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

Su Xiaoxi stood up from the ground, patted her dusty skirt, then turned around and approached the assassin lying dead.

Squatting down, Su Xiaoxi held her chin and thought.

She was indeed familiar with this man's tricks, but she didn't know exactly who sent him.

She must have made some enemies this time.

After looking at the assassin for a long time, Su Xiaoxi finally didn't know how to deal with it and could only leave first.

Just as she stepped out of the imperial garden, Su Xiaoxi suddenly stopped, her eyes flashing slightly.

Immediately, Su Xiaoxi turned around fiercely.

A masked man in black clothes blocked Su Xiaoxi's way, and the blade in his hand was pointed directly at Su Xiaoxi's neck.

"You want to kill me and silence me?" Su Xiaoxi's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm.

"So much nonsense!" As he said that, the masked man raised the long knife in his hand and slashed at Su Xiaoxi.

Su Xiaoxi swayed, dodged, and then quickly grabbed the masked man's hand. With the other hand, she clasped the man's knife-holding wrist and twisted it hard.

With a click, the man's wrist bones were broken.

"Ah——" The man let out a miserable cry, feeling extremely painful. Big beads of sweat fell from his forehead, and it was obvious that he was in serious pain.

Seeing the pained expression on the man's face, Su Xiaoxi became even more convinced of her guess.

These assassins were definitely ordered by others to attack them.

But, who wants to harm her?

In this palace, apart from Cheng Shubai, she had no friends who formed cliques for personal gain.

Does that person know her?Or is it just to eradicate dissidents for Beirong?

No matter what, tonight is destined to be a fierce battle!

"Haha, you think you can trap me with just twenty guards?" With a sneer, Su Xiaoxi ripped off the hat on her head, threw it aside, and then attacked the group of guards.

No matter how stupid she is, she can still see that these people are clearly well-trained, and she can't just let them go!

Since the other party wants her life, she will not just surrender!

However, Su Xiaoxi was still young after all, and her body skills were not good enough. Although she could barely hold on, she would still inevitably get stabbed.

Moreover, the goal of these people was obviously not her life, but just wanted to subdue her.

This feeling made Su Xiaoxi a little irritable. What on earth are these people going to do?

"Xiao Xi!"

Su Xiaoxi frowned when she heard the shouting outside the yard. It was Concubine Hui's voice.

"Xiao Xi, my daughter, where are you?"

Concubine Hui's voice was getting closer and closer, and Su Xiaoxi vaguely heard the guards' blocking voices.

Without thinking too much, the guards from the palace must have arrived. They immediately rushed towards the men in black and fought with them.

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi..."

Listening to Concubine Hui's call, Su Xiaoxi's mind flashed back to Concubine Hui's love and affection for her at the birthday banquet.

"Empress Hui Fei, I'm here!" Su Xiaoxi yelled, hoping that Hui Fei could find her.

Sure enough, Concubine Hui quickly heard Su Xiaoxi's voice and came looking for it.

When she saw clearly the man in black who fell beside Su Xiaoxi, Concubine Hui's expression suddenly changed and she quickly ran forward to help Su Xiaoxi.

"Xiao Xi, are you okay?"

Looking at the girl covered in blood in her arms, Concubine Hui was extremely anxious.

"Concubine, I'm fine, why are you here?" Su Xiaoxi said weakly.

"Your father said that you were assassinated and asked me to come over and take a look."

As she spoke, Concubine Hui carefully checked Su Xiaoxi's body for any injuries, while her anger burned.

"Which lowly maid dared to do something to my daughter!" Concubine Hui was extremely angry.

If she were to find out, she would definitely not be able to spare him.

Seeing Concubine Hui's excited look, Su Xiaoxi comforted her: "Okay, concubine, let's leave here first and talk about it when we go back."

With that said, Su Xiaoxi took Concubine Hui and walked away.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Concubine Hui looked at Su Xiaoxi's legs as if she had discovered something, "What's going on?"

After hearing Concubine Hui's question, Su Xiaoxi lowered her gaze and looked at her legs.

It turned out that when she was avoiding the assassin's attack just now, she accidentally bumped into a tree trunk and bruised her knee.

It's just such a small injury that can't affect her actions at all, so Su Xiaoxi doesn't take it to heart.

"It's nothing, just a little injury. Let's go back." With that, Su Xiaoxi pulled Concubine Hui and continued to walk forward.

However, at this time, neither of them noticed that a dark purple figure was standing not far behind them.

The night breeze blew up the hem of his robe, revealing his broad and majestic back, which made people feel a little sad inexplicably.

Who sent these people?

Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Moreover, she could be sure that she had never had any grudges with anyone, otherwise these people would not choose to take action at this time instead of other days.

But who is it?

No matter how smart she is, she still has no way of knowing the answer at this moment.

But, in such an embarrassing situation, does she still need to worry about anything?

Since those people want her life, she will not just sit back and die, she will always try her best.

In this way, Su Xiaoxi took Concubine Hui towards the yard where she lived.

However, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, he was shocked by the sight in front of him.

The yard where she lived was in a mess at the moment, with many men in black lying scattered in the yard.

And those men in black were dead.

Su Xiaoxi remembered that the men in black jumped from the roof. According to this situation, they should have fallen from a high place.

What exactly is going on?

Su Xiaoxi looked around in confusion, but she still didn't see any clues.

"What...what is going on?" Concubine Hui was also frightened. Looking at the corpses scattered in the courtyard, she couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Concubine, don't be afraid, I will take you back to the palace first!"

Su Xiaoxi held Concubine Hui's arm tightly and comforted her.

Concubine Hui shook her head.

"No!" Concubine Hui looked serious. "Xiao Xi, these people are not simple!"

Although Concubine Hui is stupid, she is not without brains.

Her Xiaoxi was stabbed by an assassin, how could she leave so easily?

"Mother concubine?" Su Xiaoxi looked at Concubine Hui in confusion, not quite understanding what Concubine Hui wanted to do.

"Xiao Xi, go back with your concubine. Let your concubine handle this matter." After saying that, Concubine Hui stretched out her hand to pull Su Xiaoxi to her side, but Su Xiaoxi refused.

"No, I still want to stay." Su Xiaoxi was determined. No matter what, she had to find out who was behind the scenes tonight.

Otherwise, she would have trouble sleeping and eating.

"Xiao Xi!" Concubine Hui frowned worriedly.

"Concubine, you go back first, I promise nothing will happen." Su Xiaoxi said firmly.
