The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

"Xie Jiusi supported the Xie family when he was young and brought them to their current high position. Old Master Xie wishes he could burn incense and bless them every day. Now someone wants to take down the pillar of the Xie family, so naturally, he can't let them go."

"What's more, they are pests in our own family, so we must not let them stay."

The carriage stopped in an empty, dark alley. The cold light was shimmering, and the bloody murderous aura grew heavier. The sounds of wailing and swords clashing rose and fell, and more and more people in black came.

The two people in the carriage remained calm. To be precise, it was Xiao Heng who remained calm. Listening to the noise outside, Su Yuejian was still a little worried, but looking at his calm eyes, she felt relieved.

No matter what the time or what the circumstances, as long as she was with him, there was a voice in her heart telling her that she was safe.

"Didn't you say that the family is not prosperous? If Old Master Xie kills someone like that, won't that mean we will lose more descendants?"

Xiao Heng chuckled, "It's just that the smart ones don't thrive. The Xie family's third branch has many talented people, but they are all still young and can't achieve anything."

"Furthermore, prominent families should not participate in the royal family's disputes. The Cui family is the best example. Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, Xie Tingwei dies, but the entire Xie family survives."

The sound of fighting outside gradually died down. Su Yuejian nodded and was about to ask something else when she felt something tighten around her waist. In just a split second, her whole body changed direction. She was startled and hugged the person in front of her tightly.

The night wind blew up the brocade curtains, and a whistling sound came from her ears. The sharp sound hit her heart directly, and her heart almost stopped for a moment. Su Yuejian turned her eyes slightly, and saw that there was a red leaf silver dart between Xiao Heng's fingers.

Xuan Yu was startled for a moment, and quickly locked onto the assassin who threw the hidden weapon. Just as he was about to take a step, a silver light flashed before his eyes, and the red leaf silver dart completely penetrated the assassin's eyebrows, and he became silent in an instant.

He turned his head to look at the carriage behind him and nodded secretly. He was worthy of being the prince, with such good accuracy!

Xiao Heng gently stroked the back of the person in his arms, his voice low and gentle, "He's just a minion, don't be afraid."

The dart just now was only a hair's breadth away from them. Su Yuejian nodded in a daze.

Seeing her dazed look, Xiao Heng gently smoothed out her hair and said, "I am not some banished immortal. No one can hurt you when I am by your side."

"What exiled immortal?"

Xiao Heng looked at her with a puzzled expression. Didn’t she know that Xie Jiusi was a banished immortal?

"I failed in my duty and nearly injured the prince and princess. Please punish me, Your Highness."

Xuan Yu's voice of apology came from outside. Xiao Heng withdrew his gaze and gently lifted the brocade curtain. "Is it clean?"

"Yes." Xuan Yu lowered his head. "In addition to the group that previously blocked your entry into the palace, there is another group of people wearing dark red patterns. They are here for the princess."

Xuan Yu continued, "The remaining assassins all committed suicide by biting themselves with poison, leaving no survivors."

Xiao Heng's eyes darkened slightly, and Su Yuejian smiled faintly, "You're more impatient than I thought. Ying'er just died, and you're already so impatient."

"Do you already know who killed General Lu?"

Looking at the cold light in her eyes, Xiao Heng couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"It's just speculation, no evidence. Ying'er is from Xihe. Cailuan said there are some young scholar tribes on the border of Xihe. The locals call them Dinu, the lowest and most despicable slaves."

"Grandfather and my third brother interrogated her for over a month but got nothing. It wasn't that she refused to confess, but she simply couldn't."

"Once a slave is sold, he is subject to his master. Unless he dies, he will be loyal to his master for the rest of his life and will not be free."

Xiao Heng lowered his eyes. So that’s how it is.

Ying'er is a dead chess piece, there is no solution anyway, so it is better to kill her directly, in front of everyone, to make a warning, and to take the opportunity to expose Lu Jinru's poisoning and murder, so that the person behind the scenes can no longer cover it up.

The death of Prince Gong was unexpected. It took only a cup of tea from the time she returned to the Taifu Mansion to the time she was invited into the palace. In such a short time, she was able to come up with such an interlocking plan, which shows how clever she was.

Xiao Heng's eyes flickered as he looked at her deeply, his eyes full of admiration.

Su Yuejian got out of the car, glanced at the corpses in the alley, and walked up to Xuan Yu. Xuan Yu picked up the glass lamp to illuminate the way.

With the help of the bright light, Su Yuejian saw the dark red patterns on the bodies of the assassins. She frowned in confusion for a moment, and suddenly a light flashed in her eyes, "This is..."

Su Yuejian hurriedly took the lantern from Xuan Yu's hand and looked at it carefully to confirm it again. Besides being shocked, the doubt in her eyes became even stronger.

How could it be this pattern? Was her previous guess wrong?!

Xuan Yu looked at Xiao Heng, then at the dazed Su Yuejian, and scratched his head, "Princess, do you recognize this pattern? Xuan Wu has been searching for it for a long time and still can't find it."

Su Yuejian nodded, "It's a flower that only blooms in the northwest sandy land, the bitter water rose."

Bitter Water Rose... Northwest Sands... Xiao Heng glanced at these well-trained assassins, his face as gloomy as water, his voice as cold as ice, "Northwest, Dingyuan Marquis Zhao Wanfeng."

"But Marquis Dingyuan has never had any grudge against my mother or the Su and Lu families. Why would he repeatedly try to kill me?"

"Besides, Marquis Dingyuan only came to the capital recently, and these assassins have already been in the capital. I thought..."

She thought that the person who harmed her mother was the emperor and empress, and the person who attacked her should also be the emperor and empress's killer. How could it be Marquis Dingyuan?

Su Yuejian was a little confused for a moment. Xiao Heng saw Xuanfeng in the dark and asked someone to clean up the body and send her back.

After watching her enter the Taifu Mansion safely, Xuanfeng appeared and said, "Your Highness, we found the place Young Master Wuji mentioned, but our people were a step too late, and those people are no longer there."

Xiao Heng's brows were cold as he lowered the curtain and said, "Go and take a look."

"Yes."

As soon as Su Yuejian stepped into the mansion, Yan Xu, Bai Yi and Wu Lu surrounded her.

"Hey Yue girl, you're finally back!"

Seeing her safe and sound, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Wu Lu wiped her red eyes.

Seeing Su Yanzhou coming back covered in injuries, several people were scared. Although Lu Zhan said that she was not injured, he was still worried.

"That Qin guy is quite sensible. If he really dares to hurt you, I'll attack the Shangshu Mansion tonight!"

Thinking of Qin Wei's arrogant and targeted attitude, Bai Yi was still furious.

Su Yuejian calmed him down and said, "Thank you, Master. There's no need for your wolf attack. The Emperor has already suspended him."

After hearing this, Bai Yi calmed down a little, and Su Yuejian lowered her eyes.

Although Qin Wei was only suspended from his post, the emperor obviously did not want to make the matter of Lu Jinru public. If Qin Wei understood this, he would keep silent.

I just don’t know who he relies on behind the scenes. Since the old monster Du dared to kill Xiao Chengchang, he must have found a new backer.

Seeing that she was still frowning, Yan Xu suggested, "If you still feel unsatisfied, let Wu Lu go there tonight and give him some poison. Let him suffer for several days and nights!"

Su Yuejian was helpless and could only pout, wondering why everyone was using this trick to coax her now.

Do you really think she is a vicious woman?

"No, I'm just worried about my brother."

"He's in his own courtyard, and the imperial physician is seeing him!"

Su Yuejian nodded and was about to go to Su Yanzhou's Mofang Residence. Yan Xu slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot to tell you that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess are here. They are both in his courtyard!"
