The eldest prince returned to the mansion, "Lingyun, give me a sword."

Ling Yun thought he had heard wrongly, "Master, what do you mean?"

"This prince said to stab my arm with a sword and immediately go to the palace to summon the imperial physician and report to my father. This time we must make a big fuss, otherwise there will be no end in the future."

Ling Yun tightly grasped the silver sword, not knowing where to start. He looked at the eldest prince in embarrassment, "Master, I dare not."

The eldest prince quickly snatched the silver sword and slashed his arm hard. Blood flowed out instantly. He gritted his teeth and persevered in pain.

"We went to the palace to summon the imperial physician and report to our father. The prince and young Marquis Xue were also there at the time. We were saved by a girl and were able to come back alive."

"I obey my orders."

Ling Feng hurried into the palace, first to summon the imperial physician, and then to report to the emperor, "Ling Feng, why are you coming to the palace to see me?"

"Reporting to the emperor, today my master, the prince of Princess Shuti's mansion, and the young Marquis Xue of Guangping went to the suburbs and were chased by dozens of black assassins."

"Hong'er, how is it?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the master was seriously injured, and the prince and young Marquis Xue were almost killed. In the end, they were saved by a teenage girl. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."

"Has the imperial physician been summoned?"

"I will first call the imperial physician and then report to the emperor."

The emperor was so angry that he slammed the table and roared: "Cold and arrogant..."

"I'm here."

"You take people to investigate this matter thoroughly. Whoever dared to assassinate my son in Daliang does not take me seriously and is simply courting death. If I find out, I will kill all nine generations of his clan."

"I obey your orders."

"I want to meet the girl who saved my son and thank her in person."

"I will go and inform Miss Ye to come to the palace to see the emperor."

At this time Princess Shuti and Lord Xue, Marquis of Guangping, came in a hurry.

"Your humble servant, I pay my respects to His Majesty."

"Princess Shuti, Marquis Guangping, please excuse me."

"Your Majesty, my son and the eldest prince were assassinated by assassins outside my Daliang. The assassins were so arrogant that they dared to assassinate the current prince under the emperor's feet. It's really abominable."

"Royal brother, you must make the decision for my sister. My sister only has Chen'er as her son. If anything happens to him, how can my sister survive?"

"Imperial sister, Marquis Guangping, don't worry. I have already sent secret guards to investigate this matter thoroughly. I will definitely give you and Hong'er an explanation."

"If you dare to assassinate the prince today, you will dare to assassinate me tomorrow. I will find out who is behind this and give you justice."

"I heard from Chen'er that a little girl saved them. I want to thank her in person. If she hadn't come to their rescue, the consequences would have been disastrous."

"I have ordered Lingyun to summon Miss Ye to the palace to see me. I also want to thank her in person for saving the children."

"I will wait here and thank this lady in person."

Ling Yun left the palace and headed straight for Qingfeng Residence. "Haitang, where is Miss Ye?"

"The young lady is in the room. I will go and call her over right away."

"it is good."

Haitang came to Xilingxue's door and knocked. She was refining poison in the space and suddenly heard the voice and hurried out.

"What's the matter?"

"Miss, Guard Lingyun is coming here."

"Did he say anything?"

"No."

Xi Lingxue came to the main hall, "I am here to see Miss Ye."

"Is there something wrong, brother?"

"Miss Ye, the emperor wants to see you."

"emperor?"

"Yes."

"Miss Ye, don't worry. The emperor just wants to thank you for saving the master. Don't be afraid. I will accompany you to the palace."

"The emperor is not a tiger, so why should I be afraid of him? Even if he is a man-eating tiger, I only fight tigers."

Ling Yun looked at Xi Lingxue in surprise. Why did he feel that Miss Ye was a little resistant to the Emperor? Was he wrong?

Miss Ye has never met the emperor, so how could she be hostile to him?

"Let's go!"

Xi Lingxue didn't expect to meet her adoptive father so soon, and felt somewhat resistant.

He listened to the slander of the Imperial Observatory and believed that his newborn daughter was a disaster, so he would not give himself a chance to live. She was unwilling to see him.

East Palace

The prince sat in the main seat and looked at the assassins opposite him viciously.

"Useless things, there are so many people but you can't even kill one person, what's the point of keeping you bunch of trash."

"I deserve to die."

"You really deserve to die."

"Your Highness, I had already succeeded, but a teenage girl appeared out of nowhere and rescued them."

"You can't even beat a teenage girl and you still have the nerve to say that."

"Your Highness, that girl is very skilled in martial arts, and her swordsmanship is even better."

"A teenager can do this."

"Everything I say is true."

"Where does she live?"

"In the former Qingfeng Residence of the eldest prince, his guards even bought slaves and sent them there."

"Try to test her skills. If she's strong, I'll try to win her over. If she's determined to follow the boss, I'll have to get rid of her to prevent future troubles."

"I obey my orders."

Soon Xi Lingxue followed Ling Yun to the entrance of the emperor's palace.

"Please tell the emperor that Miss Ye is here."

"The Emperor, Princess Shuti, and Marquis Guangping have been waiting for a long time."

"Miss Ye, please..."

Xi Lingxue arrived at the magnificent hall. The first thing she saw was the spacious hall with exquisite murals carved on the ceiling.

The pillars of the hall are carved with exquisite dragon patterns.

The emperor sat majestically on the magnificent dragon throne, his eyes stern and unquestionable.

Xi Lingxue looked coldly at the emperor sitting on the high throne. He was her adoptive father, and she was almost buried alive because of one of his words.

Fortunately, Biyun put herself in the river and let her float away with the current, and was rescued by her master and second brother, otherwise her soul would have traveled to the ancient times in vain.

"Your humble daughter Ye Ling'er pays respect to His Majesty."

Seeing that Xi Lingxue refused to kneel, Ling Yun hurriedly urged her, "Miss Ye, you must kneel and bow to the emperor when you see him, and you cannot look directly at him."

Xi Lingxue was dissatisfied with the emperor and did not want to kneel down to worship him, so she pretended not to understand.

"I just came down from the mountains and haven't seen the world, so I don't know what it means?"

"Miss Ye, ignorance is not a crime. I pardon you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xi Lingxue thought to herself, I am innocent, do I still need your forgiveness?

The emperor looked at Xi Lingxue with sharp eyes, "I heard from Ling Yun that it was you who saved the eldest prince, Lord Jun, and Young Marquis Xue."

"Yes."

"You are so skilled in martial arts at such a young age. Where did you come from?"

"My three masters have been in seclusion for many years and have not been concerned with the secular world. There is no need to tell me. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

When the emperor saw the unruly Xi Lingxue, he was not angry but rather liked her proud character.

"Miss Ye, you are a girl with personality. How old are you and where do you live?"

"Your Majesty, I am thirteen years old this year. I was abandoned by my parents when I was young, so Master's wooden house is my home."

"How could there be such a cruel father and mother who abandoned their own flesh and blood? They are unworthy of being parents."

Xi Lingxue muttered in her heart: "Hypocrite, isn't it you? If I curse you now, will you be ashamed when you find out my background one day?

"My parents are indeed unworthy of being human."

The emperor suddenly sneezed several times. The eunuch standing by the side hurriedly asked with concern: "Does the emperor need to call the imperial physician?"

"unnecessary."

"Miss Ye, you saved the eldest prince, the prince, and the young marquis Xue. I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and a hundred pieces of cloth."

Xi Lingxue thanked him calmly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

The people in the hall saw that Xi Lingxue remained calm after receiving the emperor's reward. It was really not something a teenager would do.

The disciple educated by the hermit master is different. She regards money as dirt, or maybe she has just come down from the mountain and has no concept of gold and silver.

The Emperor and Princess Shuti like the way Xi Lingxue handles things calmly.

"Miss Ye, you saved my daughter, Chen'er. I am very grateful to you. I didn't bring any valuables with me when I went out."

She hurriedly took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and placed it in Xi Lingxue's hand.

"This is a gift given by the late emperor. I have been carrying it with me all the time. It means a lot to me. Today I am giving it to you as a meeting gift. I hope you like it."

"Your Highness, I cannot accept such a valuable gift."

"Moreover, the eldest prince and his men saw that my life was pitiful and accepted me as their sister. It is only natural for a sister to save her brother."

"That's your business, I won't get involved. I liked you the first time I saw you. This is my heartfelt gift, please accept it quickly."

Xi Lingxue smiled slightly, "Thank you, Princess."

"This child is really lovable. When you come to the mansion to play with Chen'er in the future, I will order someone to prepare delicious food for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess."

Marquis Guangping also came to Xi Lingxue.

"Thank you Miss Ye for saving my son Xue Lin."

"Lord Xue, you're welcome."

"Miss Ye, you have a pure heart. I admire you."

The emperor looked at Xi Lingxue and Princess Shuti chatting and laughing, and felt a little disappointed that they were so cold to him.

I rewarded her with gold and silver, but she just thanked me lightly and spoke happily to Princess Shuti.
