Reborn Female Assassin Falls in Love with Tsundere Little Prince

Yan Kaiyu hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Because, uh, because I think you are not very smart, and I am afraid that you will make a big mistake."

These straightforward words made Shangguan Zimeng frown: "..."

Seeing her frown, Yan Kaiyu was afraid that she would be angry again, so he immediately explained: "However, I later discovered that you are quite smart sometimes."

She thought about it carefully and realized that there was something wrong with his words: "A few times?"

"OK."

"You mean, I'm not smart most of the time."

Yan Kaiyu smiled like an old father, stroked her head, and said with satisfaction: "The fact that you can hear this shows that you are still quite smart at this time."

Shangguan Zimeng slapped his hand away: "In your eyes, is intelligence a very low threshold for me?"

Yan Kaiyu blurted out: "Do you need a threshold?"

Shangguan Zimeng resisted the urge to hit him and gave him a polite smile.

When Yan Kaiyu saw her smile, he thought she was in a good mood.

And, now that everything was made sense, he breathed a sigh of relief and held her in his arms to warm her up.

She didn't know how long she had been sitting outside the door. The autumn night was a bit chilly and she must be very cold.

"Okay, Princess, I've explained everything to you. Don't be angry anymore. I'm quite scared when you're angry."

Shangguan Zimeng was shocked: "How dare you, a prince, be afraid of me?"

He was quite frank: "I can freely admit that I am henpecked."

"It's not even married yet."

"It's almost time anyway."

After hearing this, Shangguan Zimeng smiled shyly, turned around quickly to tidy up her expression, and said, "I have another question."

"My princess, please ask."

"The Queen once praised me for being smart, brave and careful. Why did she hide this from me?"

Yan Kaiyu seemed to be thinking about something, and said tactfully: "The queen is kind-hearted, maybe she is just being polite, don't take it to heart."

"..."

Shangguan Zimeng turned around and glared at him: "Can't you say something nice? It's okay to tell a lie, but is it so hard to praise me for being smart?"

Unexpectedly, instead of saying anything nice, he added a stab in the face: "Besides, no one is saintly, and there will always be times when we make mistakes. Princess, don't take compliments that don't suit you to heart."

"..."

Shangguan Zimeng shook her head speechlessly, not wanting to talk to this guy anymore. She planned to ask the queen herself tomorrow, believing that the queen's answer could soothe her wounded heart.

After being busy all day, Shangguan Zimeng just wanted to have a good sleep. She lay on the bed and didn't want to move at all. As a result, she fell asleep hastily.

Yan Kaiyu helped her take off her shoes and socks, and fetched a bucket of water for her to wash her feet. During this process, he scratched the soles of her feet like a child.

Shangguan Zimeng seemed to feel a little itchy on the soles of her feet, frowned, and groaned. However, she was probably too tired and did not stand up and beat Yan Kaiyu up.

Yan Kaiyu did not take advantage of this. He looked at her with a smile, then took off his clothes, blew out the candles, and fell asleep happily while holding her in his arms.

Because of Shangguan Zimeng's internal strength, the symptoms of Cang Yun Dan did not occur obviously, so she was safe that night.

However, during the sweet time when both of them fell asleep.

The lives of other people in the palace were obviously not easy. The 46 spies were suddenly interrogated overnight. The valuable ones survived, while the worthless ones were executed overnight and thrown into a mass grave.

Cai Ling took Cang Yun Dan orally. When the symptoms occurred in the middle of the night, her internal organs felt like they were burning, her whole body was burning, and she was sweating profusely.

Just when she was lamenting that Shangguan Zimeng had given her such a strong poison, she thought she was going to die from the poison.

Huaying came late and told her that there was no poison at all and that this was all normal, so she shouldn't be anxious or panic.

"..."

Cai Ling's symptoms lasted for half an hour, during which she kept sweating and drinking water. This night was destined to be an unforgettable night for her.

It is said that Concubine Zhao was sleeping soundly in bed in Qingning Palace when she was suddenly dragged away along with her quilt by the imperial guards who broke in. She didn't know why and was naturally confused.

After understanding the situation, she shouted angrily: "You are a bunch of ignorant dogs! Do you know who I am?! You are blind! How dare you treat me like this! I will tell the emperor! Let him punish you..."

The imperial guards didn't want to pay any attention to this crazy woman, but the more she cursed, the more harsh and arrogant she became, and they could no longer tolerate it.

Guard A: "Shut up! Would we come to arrest you if we don't know who you are?"

Imperial Guard B: "That's right. You actually shamelessly told the Emperor. To tell you the truth, it is the Emperor who wants to arrest you!"

This was a bolt from the blue for Concubine Zhao, but she still couldn't believe it: "It's impossible, the emperor wouldn't do this to me. What's more, I didn't do anything wrong?!"

Imperial Guard C frowned, not wanting to look at her: "You didn't do anything wrong? You are really shameless. Could you please recall what you did to the Queen?"

Concubine Zhao's pupils suddenly dilated, and she had a bad premonition in her heart. She then realized that Rong'er did not come back today, and her plan of asking Rong'er to poison the Queen as usual must have been exposed.

Suddenly, she went crazy again, or rather, she had never been normal: "I want to see the emperor! I want to see the emperor! Let me see the emperor..."

No matter how loudly she screamed, no one paid any attention to her. Her fate was already determined when she started doing evil things - the cold palace.

She was thrown into the cold palace by the imperial guards. She climbed up and shouted in a panic, "My father is the imperial tutor for two generations! You can't do this to me! And, and my mother..."

The imperial guards had no time to listen to her futile struggle and simply left this cold and gloomy place without looking back, leaving her alone to fend for herself.

Apparently, Concubine Zhao forgot that no matter how powerful her family was, in the end, they were just subjects of the emperor. The more she shouted like this, the more it would accelerate the demise of her family when it reached the emperor's ears.

These powerful ministers all have to listen to the emperor. Of course, this does not include Yan Kaiyu.

The moon was high in the sky, and the cries of Concubine Zhao filled the cold palace in the middle of the night, which seemed particularly miserable and pitiful. But there was no need to pity her, as it was all her own fault.

In the Yangxin Palace, Yan Ruoshi issued several imperial edicts overnight, with rewards and punishments, and naturally some people were happy and some were sad.

The first one was to reward Shangguan Zimeng and Min Ran generously for their outstanding performance, decisiveness and bravery in the operation to capture the spies of Zehuang Kingdom.

The second is that Concubine Zhao intended to murder the Queen and committed many evil things, so she was banished to the cold palace.

The third is that Taifu Zhao was dismissed because he was a teacher of two generations of emperors but failed to raise a daughter. Considering his hard work and great contributions as a teacher of two generations of emperors, he was allowed to retire and return home with his family.

In addition, not long after, Yan Ruoshi took this opportunity to severely suppress the power of Zhao Fei's mother's family. Yan Kaiyu later commented that he was becoming more and more like an emperor.

Before dawn the next day, the Emperor's Dragon Guards, led by Hua Ying, eliminated all the contact points of the Zehuang Kingdom's spies in the capital provided by Yan Kaiyu.

At this point, the poisonous thorn buried in the hearts of the royal family of Ziling Dynasty was completely removed.
