Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 852

"It was the assassins who said that they had arranged a way out. I was worried that they would attack you, so I rushed back desperately!" Xiao Jingyao said in a low voice, and when he said this, he sighed and moved her Put your hands in front of your shirt.

"I can't imagine the consequences of your accident because of me, and I can't bear it..." Xiao Jingyao shook his head and smiled wryly. From the moment he heard that she might be plotted against by an assassin, his heart was in a mess!
It wasn't until he confirmed that she was safe and sound in his arms that his heart finally settled down.

Wei Zijin didn't know his worry, so he comforted him with a smile: "Everyone in the palace has already been heavily guarded, how can those assassins succeed?!"

"But what the assassin leader said before was not a lie, saying that they still had an ambush, and that the other group of people hadn't been to the palace?" Xiao Jingyao asked with a frown.

Without waiting for Wei Zijin to answer, the old butler of the palace said respectfully: "My lord, before you returned to the mansion, there were indeed a group of masked men in black jumping up the wall and trying to break into the palace, but they were all taken down by the guards... Fortunately, those assassins didn't know where the princess was, so they were captured before they could find her!"

Xiao Jingyao's heart tightened. Sure enough, those assassins really planned to hurt Wei Zijin!

Even if she wasn't injured, he still couldn't feel completely at ease, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure all the assassins have been captured?"

The old housekeeper nodded: "There are five assassins in total, all of them have been captured! They are locked in the dungeon now, waiting for the prince to deal with them!"

Xiao Jingyao's frowned brows relaxed a little, and he snorted coldly: "Dare to break into the palace and assassinate the princess, it is a capital crime, Steward Chen, no one will be left alive!"

"Yes!" The old housekeeper stood up, and hurriedly took orders to go, personally leading people to deal with these assassins who broke into the palace.

The servants also gradually dispersed. Wei Zijin was worried that he would catch cold because of his cold sweat, so he pushed his body and said, "I ordered someone to prepare a bucket of hot water. You are sweating all over, go take a bath first..."

Xiao Jingyao nodded. Only then did he realize that his body was indeed wet with sweat. He didn't even know whether it was the cold sweat from worrying about her injury or the result of running wildly all the way, so he couldn't help laughing.

After Xiao Jingyao washed off the cold and put on clean and thick winter clothes again, Wei Zijin ordered someone to prepare ginger soup for him to dispel the cold.

Speaking of the assassin, Wei Zijin praised Kong Wu once: "Today is also thanks to him, when he heard that there was movement in the mansion, he took me all the way from the wing room to the inner hall..."

After Xiao Jingyao finished drinking this bowl of ginger soup, he also felt that the chill on his body was almost driven away, so he nodded in satisfaction: "Let the housekeeper give him a good reward!"

"You put your shadow guard by my side to protect me, right?" Wei Zijin asked quietly again, Xiao Jingyao saw that she had noticed it, but he didn't deny it, and nodded happily: "Yes, troubles are prone to happen recently, plus you I am pregnant and have trouble moving, so I am worried about Kong Wu alone, so I let Soi Ying stay by your side to protect you!"

"But those assassins are going to deal with you, and your thoroughness is also important..." Wei Zijin shook his head, disapproving of his actions.

"Zijin, I have kung fu..." Xiao Jingyao explained with a smile, before Wei Zijin interrupted him excitedly.
