Don't mess with her, she is the god in charge of the golden finger!

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was peaceful and filled with laughter. Qin Ziqian found an opportunity to come to Si Ling and looked at Si Ling with grievance because he only cared about eating.

Si Ling looked up helplessly: "Why is the prince looking at me like this? Do you want to eat the food on my table?"

The eight-year-old Qin Ziqian was already a handsome and elegant little adult. Hearing this, he pouted and said, "Sister Ling'er, you don't seem to like me very much. You ignored me when I greeted you just now."

Si Ling looked puzzled: "Did you say hello to me? Why didn't I see you?"

Qin Ziqian choked for a moment, but soon became happy. It turned out that Sister Ling'er was not ignoring him on purpose, she just didn't see it.

"It's okay, it's okay. Sister Ling'er, I have a lot of delicious food over there. Do you want to come with me?"

He wanted to take Si Ling out to play, but Si Ling frowned and shook her head vigorously: "No, no, there are too many people here, I don't want to leave my father and mother, and you should also go back to the prince as soon as possible, it would be bad if you get lost."

"Ling'er, I'm an adult now, and I'm very familiar with the palace, so I won't get lost, and I won't get lost with you either. Just come and play with me. It's not easy for me to see you."

Ding Luoyun and Si Zhen didn't say anything, they knew Si Ling knew what was going on.

Si Ling still shook her head and got into Ding Luoyun's arms: "I'm sorry, my lord, I really don't want to leave my mother, you can go find someone else to play with."

Qin Ziqian was rejected again, and his eyes turned red with grievance. Seeing this, Ding Luoyun smiled and said, "Sir, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. How about I bring Ling'er to the palace to play with you some other day?"

"Really?"

"of course."

It’s fake. They are going to die soon. What’s the point of playing tricks?

Qin Ziqian was very happy and returned to Qin Ming happily.

Just when the atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax, several sword lights flashed and rushed towards the emperor. With a shout of "Protect the emperor", the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Si Zhen slammed the table and flew in front of the emperor to fight with the assassins. As a result, there were not just one or two assassins, but more and more assassins tore off their camouflage coats and started indiscriminate attacks with swords in hand.

Si Ling was so scared that she ran around crying, but was stabbed in the abdomen by a female assassin and kicked into the corner of the wall, dying on the spot. Ding Luoyun ran forward with her eyes bared to fight the assassin, but she was no match for the assassin. The assassin's palm shattered her heart and she fell to the ground and died with her eyes open.

Si Zhen happened to see his wife and daughter die, and with a roar he killed several assassins on the spot, but two of them were actually better at martial arts than him, and one of them took advantage of him not paying attention and turned around and swept away the guards protecting the emperor, stabbing the emperor in the heart with a sharp sword.

"emperor!"

Si Zhen's eyes flashed and he rushed forward as fast as he could to block the sword. The sword pierced his heart and he spat a mouthful of blood onto the frightened emperor's face.

The assassin cursed inwardly and drew his sword: "Retreat!"

Another powerful assassin slashed the necks of two ministers and flew away. The other assassins could not escape and were all killed on the spot.

Si Zhen kept vomiting blood and his eyes were dazed. The emperor and Empress Qin Ming were all calling for the imperial physician loudly. The emperor even hugged Si Zhen and shouted at him with red eyes not to die.

"Your Majesty, I, your servant, can no longer protect you. Please, please send me, ahem, my wife and daughter back to my hometown and bury them together..."

"General! General!"

"Si Zhen!"

The emperor cried out to the sky, unable to imagine that Si Zhen, who was so loyal to him, would die in front of him just to protect him.

Not only Si Zhen, but even his wife and daughter were killed by the assassin's sword. The Si family was wiped out in front of him. If the troops stationed on the front lines in various places knew this, how would they view themselves as the emperor?

The emperor was furious and millions of people were killed. Because of the death of the three people from the Si family, the capital city was plunged into extreme darkness in order to find the two assassins who escaped.

Those who failed to guard or defend the palace properly were also beheaded and thrown into prison one after another.

Liu Yiyi was so frightened that she didn't even have time to gloat when she returned to the palace. She lay down for two days with her twins who were also frightened before she recovered.

Si Zhen, who was dead as hell, was posthumously conferred the title of Duke of Protectorate by the emperor, Ding Luoyun was also posthumously conferred the title of the First-Rank Lady of the Duke of Protectorate, and Si Ling also became a princess.

In response to Si Zhen's request before his death, the emperor held a grand funeral for them according to the highest standards and buried the family of three in the Si family's ancestral cemetery.

The general was not at home, so except for those servants who went back to their own homes, all the other servants came to the cemetery to guard the tomb.

They guarded it for three years. Except for Ding Luoyun and a few of Si Zhen's confidants, everyone else had a better place to go.

No one in Qin mentioned the story of Si Zhen and others anymore. They were a thing of the past and there were new generals guarding Qin and its people.

Another two years passed, and the confidants who guarded the cemetery were gone, and no one knew where they went.

Also missing were three bodies in the cemetery: two large bodies and one small.

The group of people simply changed their appearance and headed south, and finally found a small village with beautiful scenery and good folk customs to settle down.

Si Ling, who looked twice as ordinary as before, was smiling as she watched Si Zhen killing a chicken in the courtyard. Ding Luoyun was embroidering nearby. Xingyun, two maids and two guards were also doing their own things in the courtyard. Everyone of them looked much more ordinary than before. Even if Qin Ming and Liu Yiyi stood in front of them, it was difficult to connect them with their previous appearance.

Si Ling, who was already ten years old, had grown into a beautiful young lady. When she saw Si Zhen had killed the chicken, she cheered, ran forward, picked up the chicken and ran away.

"I'm going to cook. Dad, take Xiao Linzi and Xiao Xiazi to get some firewood. We'll have dinner when you come back!"

Si Zhen smiled and shook his head: "This child is really getting more and more outrageous, and I haven't even removed the hair yet."

Ding Luoyun smiled and said, "If you hadn't insisted on killing him yourself, Ling'er would have done it with a knife long ago."

"Okay, you tease me too."

"Stop talking nonsense and take them to get more firewood. Your daughter needs a lot of firewood every day."

"Okay, Xiao Linzi and Xiao Xiazi, let's go."

"Okay sir."

The three of them carried their machetes up the mountain. Xingyun and Xingyue put down their needlework. Xingyun sighed, "I wouldn't change my life like this even if a god came."

Xingyue nodded repeatedly: "That's right, this day is so beautiful, I won't change it even if you kill me."

Under Si Ling's correction, everyone now speaks casually and in colloquial language, focusing on doing whatever is comfortable for them.

Ding Luoyun was very emotional. Although his life now was not as good as when he was in the general's mansion, it was really very comfortable and happy.

They settled in a village far away from the capital and the secular world. Si Zhen spontaneously formed a hunting team and a guard team. He often took the men in the village to hunt in the mountains to improve everyone's lives.

They will also lead the villagers to resist attacks from wild beasts and protect the villagers, so they have now become people who are loved and admired by everyone in the village.
