He really didn't see the calendar when he went out today. He was so unlucky that he didn't want to see anyone.

"Zhi Lan, how are you? Has His Majesty ever punished you? "

Pulling Zhi Lan's claws off her body, she said.

Since he did not return last night, it was assumed that Zhi Lan, as his personal maid, would definitely vent her anger. It was just that he did not know whether this punishment was severe or not.

Hearing that, Zhi Lan quietly retreated a few steps, and then respectfully replied.

"Reporting to the Empress, His Majesty did not punish me. You can rest assured."

Zhi Lan's small movements naturally could not be hidden from Hu Xiao, Hu Xiao looked straight at Zhi Lan, and saw how Zhi Lan was acting. Without her saying anything, Hu Xiao could already guess what punishment Qin Shuo had given him.

It was just like last time, he would just make me kneel. If Master does not come back, then I will not get up, but now that there are so many people here, Hu Xiao could directly check on them.

"General Zhao, I will have to trouble you to take care of Zhi Lan. At this time, I am a missing person, Zhi Lan must help me confuse the rest in my residence."

"What?" Empress, you don't plan to bring Zhi Lan along? "

When Zhi Lan heard Hu Xiao's words, she was stunned. Zhi Lan blamed herself endlessly for putting Hu Xiao in such a difficult situation, she had thought that if she were to look at Hu Xiao now, Hu Xiao would bring him along, but she never thought that Hu Xiao did not have any intentions of bringing her away.

Hu Xiao panicked a little when she saw Zhi Lan's tears that were about to fall.

"Zhi Lan, Zhi Lan, what are you doing? It's not that I don't want to bring you along, it's just that I can't help you with the current situation. If you're not in the house, those assassins would know that I've already appeared.

Zhi Lan actually did not know what Hu Xiao went through yesterday, and now that she suddenly heard that Hu Xiao had been kidnapped, she felt even more guilty.

"Empress, if Zhi Lan had not returned to the manor en route, the Empress would not have encountered these calamities. Zhi Lan, please punish her!"

With that, Zhi Lan kneeled down. How could I possibly have Master suffering outside, and this servant not getting hurt at all?

"When and what are you doing! What does this have to do with you? I don't blame you, so I'm ordering you to stay in the government court and pay attention to strange things there. When you return, you'll have to check. "

After Hu Xiao finished speaking, she immediately climbed over the wall and left. She did not know if she continued to stay, but maybe later, Zhi Lan would commit suicide to apologize.

Hu Xiao had never known that Zhi Lan was actually this sincere to him. It was only that she had disappeared for an entire night, yet in Zhi Lan's heart, it was actually that kind of torture. It was Hu Xiao who came to this world with this warmth.

However, the Hu Xiao at this time, was unable to return to their side. She was surrounded by an unknown danger, so she naturally had to think of all sorts of ways to get rid of these dangers.

Seeing Hu Xiao not even being able to see her figure, yet Zhi Lan was still kneeling on the ground. Zhao Qiyan felt a kind of heartache.

"Alright, the empress has already walked far away. What we need to do now is to help the empress find those assassins as soon as possible, only then will Empress be at ease."

Zhao Qiyan really did not know how to protect Zhi Lan, and only spoke out what he was thinking in his heart.

"Thank you, General Zhao."

She naturally knew what the empress was saying. In this palace that ate people and spat out their bones, there would always be people in high positions chasing after them. What they could do now was to eliminate these threats as soon as possible.

Zhi Lan didn't have any intention to chat with Zhao Qiyan at the moment, and quietly calmed down. After thanking Zhao Qiyan, she left.

The Rites of Heavenly Worship was only a few days away, he had to clean up the killers right now.

Within the Song Residence.

"Xuan'er, what's going on today in front of your majesty? Your dancing father knows very well, could it be that you did it on purpose? "

Master Soong who had been waiting for Soong Xuan in the Song Manor for a long time asked.

Looking at his father's expression, Soong Xuan was a little dissatisfied. To think that the first thing she did upon seeing his father was not to ask about his injuries, but to scold him verbally.

"Father, my father should have seen how injured I was in the great hall. Could it be that in father's eyes, my daughter will lose face in front of everyone because she didn't want to see His Majesty hurt herself in front of everyone?"

Soong Xuan was the Master Soong's favorite in the first place, but for some reason recently, the Master Soong felt like she was bewitched by someone, wanting to show her face in front of His Majesty. Even her only daughter wanted to send her to that place to protect her long-term prosperity.

"Xuan'er, your father has doted on you for so long, you shouldn't be so willful. You should also blame your father for spoiling you into such a lawless state. Or even just disappear like that? "

Today, Hu Xiao did not come with him when they returned to the manor. Although Soong Xuan resisted, she had never suspected Hu Xiao, and in Soong Xuan's eyes, since Hu Xiao was the one who thought of this matter, it was definitely safe. However, Soong Xuan would never tell her father about Hu Xiao's identity.

"Father, daughter isn't that kind of person who doesn't know the big picture. Don't worry, if His Majesty blames her today, daughter will be willing to shoulder the blame all by herself. I definitely won't implicate even the slightest bit of her Soong Family."

"You can say that, but don't hide behind the lord again."

Just as Soong Xuan finished speaking, she heard the voice of her father's side room.

Soong Xuan looked at it for a while, and finally understood why his mother was in such a predicament. She had been by her father's side for so long.

"Haha, I've truly troubled mother. You actually sent people outside to kill me. In the end, you thought of such a method. Father, you've truly become muddle-headed."

He did not want to listen to Master Soong's teachings and this aunt. Soong Xuan called her personal servant and left.

"Chase him down? Is what Xuan'er said true? "

At this time, the Master Soong did not care that Soong Xuan actually dared to contradict him, and did not care that he was still sitting in the middle of the hall, and then left.

"Old master, Xuan'er has never disliked me for more than a day or two. It's normal for her to lie and swindle me. I've been serving the old master for so many years, yet the old master suspects me?"

To harm one's children was a grave sin, and the aunt would never admit it. With anger in her heart, she initially wanted to send Soong Xuan to the Imperial Palace without seeing him, and with Soong Xuan's temper, he would have been quickly killed by the palace lady. But who knew that Soong Xuan would be so useless, and cause her Soong Family to suffer such humiliation in front of so many people!
