I was fucked by Zheng Ge as soon as I crossed over

She must thank Xiaoyuer very much.

The life-saving grace should be repaid with a spring of water.

She promised that in the future she could give the fourth princess whatever she liked, including food, drinks, gold, silver and treasures, and would never make Xiaoyuer cry again.

After examining the four princesses, Xia Wuqie, Ji Xiuyuan and other doctors took the pulse of Ying Zheng, Su Jinyue and others one by one.

After making sure that everyone was safe, Ying Zheng led his men out of the backyard.

In the front hall, civil and military officials sat together with gloomy faces, and they had no desire to talk to each other.

This was different from the previous assassinations.

In the past, assassins would lie in ambush on the roadside or on hilltops, mostly by marching and attacking.

This time, he disguised himself as a laborer building the city wall.

That's the city wall!

If you are not careful, the thief will cause you trouble, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Wang Shouze shrank his head and slumped in his chair, feeling hopeless. He no longer had the mood to ask anyone for mercy.

Everything is over...

"Clap clap clap..."

Heavy footsteps sounded and Ying Zheng walked into the hall.

Everyone knelt down hurriedly.

By the time everyone sat back in their original seats, the entire hall fell into dead silence.

In the end, it was Feng Jie who broke the silence first, slammed the table heavily and shouted angrily.

"How is Hengshan County governed? They actually allowed an assassin to sneak in and nearly endanger the safety of His Majesty and the Emperor. Wang Shouze, what is your crime?"

Wang Shouze knelt down with a thud, his voice trembling, "This humble official deserves death. It was truly through this humble official's negligence that I did not anticipate such a thing would happen."

He prostrated himself on the ground, repeatedly shouting, "I know I'm wrong, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng sat at the top, squinting his eyes and listening quietly.

Li Si frowned and told Wang Shouze to shut up. "What's the point of saying this now? The most urgent thing is to capture all the assassins and thoroughly investigate this matter!"

"I suggest closing the city gates and allowing no one to enter but not exit until this matter is fully investigated." Another person spoke up.

Xiao He, who had been concentrating on writing something, suddenly stood up and expressed a different opinion.

"Your Majesty, I believe the city gates don't need to be closed. Those men are well-trained. One can tell at a glance that they are death squads trained for years. Whether the city gates are closed or not doesn't matter much."

He bowed slightly and said in a steady voice, "The focus is still on the unconscious thief."

Ying Zheng still had a stern face and remained silent.

When he saw Xiao He, he thought of Liu Ji in the firewood room behind him, and Zhang Liang.

He already had some guesses in his mind about the identities of these assassins.

All I can say is that Zhang Liang is indeed quite capable, as he managed to get rid of the spies around him by accident.

Moreover, his target was actually Su Jinyue.

Almost, just a little bit, he succeeded.

Whenever he thought of this, endless anger would surge up in his heart uncontrollably.

No matter how talented he is, I want him to die.

Ying Zheng raised his eyes and looked around, his thin lips slightly parted.

"Wang Shouze is dismissed from his post and investigated. The doctor is ordered to take over the military affairs of the entire city, and the others will assist."

"The ministers obey the order."

Thus, an intense investigation began.

The county magistrate's runners, along with the guards, conducted a blanket search of every corner of the city. Wang Shouze was temporarily detained, awaiting further action.

The entire city of Hengshan was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. Citizens stayed indoors, fearing they would be dragged into the chaos. Yamen runners patrolled day and night, looking for any suspicious activity.

And, the little fish was finally raised back.

"Hmm~ That's nothing. When the long sword came stabbing at me, I rushed forward without a second thought!"

In the leisurely and quiet garden, the fourth princess held her head high and accepted the admiring looks of her sisters without hesitation.

"Fourth sister is so brave. If it were me, I would probably be scared to death and would never think of saving anyone." The Seventh Princess looked at the Fourth Princess with starry eyes, as well as the white silk cloth wrapped around her head.

Is that a wound cloth?

That's a medal!

Yang Zi's eyes were shining as she followed the Fourth Princess closely. A few years had passed and she was already ten years old. This was her first time to accompany Ying Zheng on a tour.

In the past, I only heard my sisters talk about the interesting things that happened during the parade.

It wasn't until I came out that I realized that what my sisters said before was one-sided.

It’s too thrilling!

"Fourth sister, are you dizzy? Sit down and take a rest." Yang Zi carefully helped the fourth princess sit on the chair.

Upon hearing this, the fourth princess immediately held her forehead and slowly sat back in her chair, her voice becoming a little weaker.

"Thank you Yangzi, I do feel a little dizzy..."

As soon as she said this, the others immediately got busy.

"Fourth sister, have some hot tea."

"Should we call a doctor?"

"Have some dessert, Fourth Sister..."

When Su Jinyue came over, she saw the sisters gathered in a group, busy and panicking.

She sat in a wheelchair, her neck tilted to one side, looking at Xiaoyuer in the crowd through the gap at the Seventh Princess' waist.

tsk...

This sickly little face...

She is comparable to Lin Daiyu.

It would be more similar if Xiaoyuer's appearance was not so gorgeous.

However, she was also happy to cooperate with Xiaoyuer.

Still a teenage girl~

It's normal to show off a little after doing such a earth-shaking thing.

Su Jinyue looked at everything in front of her with indulgence in her eyes, and soon joined in.

"Fourth sister, what's wrong with you? Are you dizzy again?"

"You are a hero who saved my life, you can't leave any root of illness behind!"

She shouted loudly, and the princesses who heard the voice immediately made way for her.

Su Jinyue continued: "Dan, Tan, go to my room quickly and bring me that gold-inlaid jade glass hairpin. Fourth sister likes these. Maybe she will stop feeling dizzy if she wears them."

She called to the attendants and took Xiaoyu'er's hand and patted it, "Good sister, if you like anything else, I will give it to you."

Xiao Yu'er shook her head a little embarrassedly, pouting her lips. If you looked closely, you could see that she was trying hard to suppress a smile.

"How about I give you that jade pendant with the mandarin ducks playing in the water as well? I'll make two copies, just right for you and General Ma."

"Oh, don't say that..." Xiao Yuer finally couldn't pretend anymore and covered his face with a handkerchief.

"Hahaha……"

Su Jinyue laughed loudly, and her sisters also started to laugh.

The laughter was crisp and the atmosphere was full of joy.

When Dan brought the things back, he also brought an order from Ying Zheng asking Su Jinyue to come over.

What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?

Su Jinyue didn't think much about it, and said goodbye to her sisters and rushed to Ying Zheng's small study.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

Ying Zheng nodded and motioned for her to drink tea first.

"I intend to send troops to besiege Zhao Xie in Xindu."

"Who? Zhao Xie?" Su Jinyue put down the teacup and looked at Haodadie in confusion.

"Yes." Ying Zheng looked back, a fierce look in his eyes. "My son, do you know who assassinated you this time?"
