Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

The next day—

Just as the morning hour arrived, Ran Qianxi had already stood up, but did not see Tan Qianhuan.

“Is he so busy every day…”

The palace was silent. Suddenly, she heard a woman's scream and immediately sat up.

"Run!"

This miserable voice is creepy, like a cry for help and a warning.

Ran Qianxi slowly walked out of the bedroom, moving closer and closer to the sound. The silence along the way was eerie.

"Oh my god, why is there no one here?"

She got closer and closer, and the place where the scream came from was right in front of her.

"Master...I want to see the Master..."

When Ran Qianxi heard a woman's voice again, her hair stood on end. It sounded like a struggle before death.

"Oh my god..."

Getting closer and closer, she was now less than a hundred meters away from the woman.

"Oh my god... there's no one here..."

Her timid feet dared not move forward.

"Oh, forget it, forget it... leave it, leave it... don't look at anything inappropriate..."

She quickly turned around and tried to escape, but suddenly someone grabbed her ankle!

"Ah! Mom!"

She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she broke out in a cold sweat, and she dared not look back.

“Run…Run…”

When the voice stopped, Ran Qianxi turned her head around and suddenly found a female corpse lying at her feet.

"Mom..."

Seeing that it was a human, even a dead one, she was not so scared anymore. She immediately squatted down to check her wound. It was obvious that she was stabbed through the heart by a sword.

"Oh my god... was he assassinated?"

She kicked the woman's hand away, plucked up her courage and walked towards the room, only to find another dead body.

"Oh my God!"

She continued to walk inside and suddenly found a secret door behind the wall with a crack. She pushed it open gently and found a yard outside.

She strode in and saw several men in black stabbing people with bloody swords. There were several female corpses on the ground, all of them were beauties.

"Mom!"

Ran Qianxi’s first reaction was to run. She turned around quickly and shouted!

"Catch the assassin!!"

The black assassin glanced at her and killed the last survivor.

Seeing her stray in, the assassin didn't know what to do.

"How to do?"

The leader was silent for a moment, obviously more conflicted and embarrassed than him.

"Tsk...catch them first?"

The remaining two assassins looked at him, and this was the only thing they could do for now.

"I'll catch it!"

An assassin flew into the air and stopped Ran Qianxi. Ran Qianxi was so scared that her eyes popped out!

We can’t just sit there and wait to die and become a corpse, we must fight hard!

She quickly picked up the broom and twirled it around in her hand a few times, speaking righteously.

"You bold thief, I've practiced this before, so I'm warning you not to come over here!"

The assassin frowned slightly and exchanged glances with the other two assassins.

"kill!"

Ran Qianxi picked up the broom and swung it. With a plop, the assassin in front of him fell to the ground in a daze. The remaining two raised their eyebrows in surprise.

Ran Qianxi exclaimed in surprise!

"Ah? My skills have become so advanced now? Xu Yuanchao's teaching skills are second to none!"

Ran Qianxi turned around angrily, and the other two assassins stabbed at her with their swords?

Seeing that the situation was not good, she raised the broom and swung it over again, but it was instantly cut off by a sword!

The other assassin glanced at his accomplice with a look of disgust.

"Stupid?"

Now that the weapon was broken, Ran Qianxi immediately took out the powder bag from her waist and sprinkled it at the two. Although they covered their mouths and noses, they were still knocked unconscious.

Seeing the last two people fall down, Ran Qianxi ran away!

"Someone is coming, someone is coming!"

Unexpectedly, halfway through the run, she turned back!

When the leader saw her coming back, he was about to get up but lay down again. She anxiously took the hemp rope and tied up the three men.

"Damn... with this level... you're still an assassin?"

She didn't leave until everything was tied up.

"Catch the assassin!"

The sound faded away, and the leader opened his eyes.

"Hey wake up... wake up..."

But no matter how he shouted, the other two were unconscious, obviously they were really hit.

"Tsk... Damn..."

When Leader Tong heard Ran Qianxi shouting to catch the assassin, he was the first to rush over.

"What's wrong Miss Ran?"

"Quick, take people to that yard. There are three assassins who I have tied up."

Tong Jian was confused, wondering how could there be an assassin in the Prince of Jibei's Mansion, so he immediately ran to check.

When he arrived at the gate of the secret courtyard, he was shocked to see the mess on the ground. When he went in, he found three people tied up and was speechless for a moment.

"Tsk... let us go quickly... the task assigned by the prince has not been completed yet!"

Tong Jian walked over with a look of disgust on his face.

"What a waste..."

"Tsk, you still have the mood to make sarcastic remarks. Do you dare to hurt Miss Ran? You will be chopped into minced meat by the prince!"

Tong Jian stepped forward and untied them, but the other two were still unconscious.

"What's going on with the two of them?"

Qi Shuang picked up the sword on the ground.

"I was knocked unconscious by Miss Ran."

Tong Jian was even more surprised that the Eagle Eye that the Jibei Palace had carefully trained was so vulnerable.

"I think they both wanted to skip work on purpose."

Qi Shuang's expression was somewhat serious.

"No, they both covered their mouths and noses, and fainted after getting some on the back of their hands."

Tong Jian sneered and was too lazy to ask for details. Originally, the two of them had kept to themselves, one was in charge of the soldiers in the barracks, and the other was in charge of the guards in the palace.

"One ran away?"

Qi Shuang looked even more worried.

"All the big ones are here. One child ran away."

Tong Jian glanced at him and his expression suddenly became serious.

"They all have to be killed."

"Yes, not even one can be left alive."

Ran Qianxi didn't even notice that the side yard behind the secret courtyard was already littered with corpses.

"I originally wanted to pretend to faint and deal with the body before catching the child, but now... Tsk... Miss Ran, why is she so brave?"

"That child...if we catch him, I'm afraid he won't survive..."

"Your Majesty shouldn't be that cruel."

Ran Qianxi hurried to Tan Qianhuan's study, where he was handling official business.

"Xi'er?"

"Father! Foster!"

Tan Qianhuan observed her expression and found something very wrong.

"What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"

"One of your yards has been attacked by an assassin. Go check it out."

Although she couldn't think calmly in the critical situation just now, she felt something was wrong the moment she ran out. Why didn't the assassin come to assassinate him, but chose some women to target? And there was also that secret door. Normal family members and servants would not live in the secret courtyard.

Tan Qianhuan's eyes darkened, but he was caught by Ran Qianxi in a moment.

"Ah, I'll go check now, are you hurt?"

Ran Qianxi couldn't help but feel doubtful when she saw his calm expression.

"I do not have."

Tan Qianhuan smiled and touched her face.

"No, I'll go check it out."

After he left, Ran Qianxi felt something was wrong.

"Why is godfather so calm? It's as if he knew there was an assassin."

After thinking about it, she strode after him.

"I will go with you."

Tan Qianhuan stopped in his tracks. Such a handsome man, looking as holy and cold as a priest, no one would associate such confusing things with him.

He smiled and looked back.

"Okay, I'll hold your hand."

When the two were halfway there, Tong Jian ordered his men to carry out all the bodies.

"Your Majesty, the assassin has been captured."

Tan Qianhuan looked at the corpses, his eyes became extremely cold.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"I will do whatever it takes."

Ran Qianxi looked at those women and felt something was not right. She immediately thought of the women who were taken away by Tong Jian.

"Father."

Tan Qianhuan turned around and looked at her with affection.

"Don't be afraid, Xi'er. The assassin has been caught."

Ran Qianxi licked her lips nervously.

"Then... who are these people? Why did the assassin kill them alone?"

"They are just the families of the martyrs in the army. I think they are the remnants of the enemy army, lurking here to seek revenge."

Ran Qianxi obviously didn't believe it.

"Then why lock them up?"

Tan Qianhuan still had a smile on his face.

"The martyr's family was settled in the palace. They built a separate courtyard for her because they were afraid of revenge."

Without any evidence, Tan Qianhuan's story had no flaws. Even if Ran Qianxi didn't believe it, she had to believe it.

"Ah, so that's it."

Tan Qianhuan smiled and took her hand.

"Take you to the street to eat delicious food."

"okay."
