"Ah!" Leng Qiu screamed and sat up straight.
Xue Ningyu, who was guarding by her bedside, was startled. She saw Leng Qiu's pale face and was drenched in cold sweat. She quickly took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her forehead, "Don't be afraid, Mother is here!"
Leng Qiu stared blankly at the window.
Xue Ningyu quickly patted her innocent little face, "Qiu Er! Qiu 'er! "
Leng Qiu snapped back to reality and looked at Xue Ningyu, "Mother!"
"Qiu Er, mother is here!" Xue Ningyu quickly patted her back, "Are you scared?"
"Mom, it's too scary!" Leng Qiu fiercely grabbed Xue Ningyu's hand and held it tightly. She trembled slightly, "It's too scary!"
"Qiu Er, you went to Princess Siao's side, didn't you?" Xue Ningyu said snappily, "Didn't I tell you not to go there!"
"Mother, an assassin came to the Tianshu Courtyard today. His martial arts skills are very high!" Leng Qiu said, "In the end, he was killed by Xiao Li. It's really scary!"
"It's just killing an assassin, what's there to be afraid of!" Xue Ningyu said snappily, "It's not like I've never seen dead people before!"
Leng Qiu shook her head and said, "Chu Li chopped off the assassin's head with one slash, this is really …"
As she said this, her face turned pale.
Xue Ningyu frowned and pondered.
"Mother —!" Leng Qiu saw that her mother was in a daze instead of comforting her. She shook her mother's arm in dissatisfaction. "Mother!"
Xue Ningyu came back to her senses, she shook her head and said, "You little girl, you're really bold. That killer, stay far away from him, don't provoke him!"
"He's quite kind, but he's scary when he kills people!" Leng Qiu scoffed in dissatisfaction. Seeing that Xue Ningyu was deep in thought again, he shouted in dissatisfaction, "Mother, what are you thinking about!"
"I'm thinking about that assassin." Xue Ningyu said, "Don't you think that assassin is a little strange?"
"Monster —?" Leng Qiu tilted her head and thought about it. "It's a little strange. He's tall and fat, but he's so agile and fast. If it weren't for Chu Li's powerful martial arts, he would've killed him!"
Xue Ningyu's sweet face was in deep thought, "In the past, whenever Chu Li encountered an assassin, he would just kill him. Is there such a brutal Killing technique? "
Cold Autumn shook his head.
Xue Ningyu said, "There's something wrong with this person's identity … Forget it, there's no point in thinking about this. I have to go thank Chu Li. I saved you again. "
Leng Qiu said, "I'm not going."
"You …" Xue Ningyu shook her head and said, "You've been spoiled since you were young!"
"Mother, I want Chu Li to be my Protector during the Hunting Ceremony," Leng Qiu said.
"He wants to protect Princess Siao." Xue Ningyu said, "How could he agree to it? Just give up and drink this medicine. I'll be fine after a nap! "
She took the bowl of medicine from the maid and coaxed Leng Qiu to drink it. When Leng Qiu slowly fell asleep, she left the Precious Light Courtyard and came to the Tianshu Courtyard.
— —
Xue Ningyu came to Tianshu Courtyard and visited Siao Shi. Then, she came out to talk to Chu Li.
She first thanked Chu Li for saving her life and for protecting Leng Qiu. Although he had given her quite a fright, he had saved her life again.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. He brought up the idea of letting them move in for a while.
"Head Chief, this is definitely not what His Royal Highness said." Xue Ningyu smiled sweetly and pursed her lips, "His Royal Highness is most afraid of us getting together. Whose idea was it?"
Chu Li smiled, "It was me."
Xue Ningyu stopped smiling, "If it was someone else, I wouldn't care. But since it's you, Head Chief, I have to consider it."
"What condition does the Princess have?" Chu Li asked.
Xue Ningyu looked sweet and charming. She was straightforward and bold, but she was an extremely smart person.
"I hope you can accompany Qiu Er to the Hunting Ceremony next month," Xue Ningyu said.
Chu Li sighed, "Princess. Why should we care about the children's play? "
"To you, it's a child's play, but to me, it's not." Xue Ningyu shook her head and smiled, "The adults always think that these small matters are not worth mentioning. They don't know that to Qiu Er, it's more important than anything else. I've been through it, I know how it feels. "
Chu Li thought about it and nodded, "Alright, I agree!"
Xue Ningyu smiled, "Only the Head Chief would dare to bring up this idea. But I didn't dare to say it out of fear of offending Wangye. I'm very happy that you're thinking of the Wangfu! "
Chu Li shook his head. "My rank is too high. I'm an eyesore to His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness isn't happy about it."
Xue Ningyu waved her hand and chuckled, "His Royal Highness has always thought highly of himself. Now that a First Grade Martial Artist has popped up all of a sudden, he's definitely not used to being able to speak to him on equal footing. He'll get used to it slowly. Head Chief, don't be anxious."
"I hope so." Chu Li smiled.
Xue Ningyu pursed her lips and smiled, "Head Chief, you are indeed smarter than others. By staying by Princess Siao's side, you are actually avoiding her so that Royal Highness can slowly get used to it. You are indeed smart."
Chu Li shook his head. "It's just a stroke of luck. There are so many assassins. If she relied on the Protectors of the Imperial Residence, the Lady would have lost her life long ago. The one from yesterday was very powerful."
"That's true," Xue Ningyu's jade face darkened and scoffed, "I said to get some Protectors from my house, but the Royal Highness didn't agree."
Chu Li said, "The reputation of the Imperial Residence is more important."
"Hmph, men are all the same." Xue Ningyu said snappily, "Is your reputation more important or our lives more important!"
Chu Li quickly nodded.
Princess Xue really dared to say such things. How could she say such things to him?
Xue Ningyu scoffed and said, "Alright, I will move over tomorrow. Which courtyard?"
"The second one on the west, how about it?"
"The first one is reserved for Princess Song, right?" Xue Ningyu scoffed.
Chu Li smiled embarrassedly.
"Chu Li, you keep doing these things that offend people. It is not the way of life." Xue Ningyu shook her head and smiled as she left.
Chu Li sighed.
This Princess Xue really could not be underestimated. Her ability to win people's hearts was extremely powerful.
Not long after Xue Ningyu left, Song Liuying appeared.
After Chu Li told her about the matter, Song Liuying's slender eyebrows frowned slightly. She remained silent.
Chu Li said, "Princess Song, I don't think she will stay for long. Princess Xue has already agreed to move over to the second room on the west."
"She agreed?" Song Liuying said faintly, "That's rare!"
Chu Li smiled and said, "The two Princesses are reasonable people. They also know the difficulties in the Imperial Residence. There is indeed a lack of manpower. If they split up, everyone will be in danger. Although the assassin's target is the Lady, it is hard to avoid the thought of taking advantage of the situation."
"Mm, alright." Song Liuying said, "I will move over tomorrow. I heard that you killed another assassin?"
"Yes." Chu Li said, "When the three Princesses gather together, there will be no need to be afraid of assassins!"
"I hope so." Song Liuying said faintly and left gracefully.
Chu Li watched her leave and let out a long sigh of relief.
If he did not use the Omniscient Mirror to see through their thoughts and grasp their weaknesses, he would not have been able to convince them so easily. Both of them were extremely intelligent women. Such women were the most difficult to deal with!
The next morning, Chu Li had not even woken up to cultivate when he heard the commotion outside. There were endless shouts. Two groups of people were moving things. It seemed like they were competing to be louder.
Chu Li knew that the two Princesses had started to move so he went to Siao Shi's courtyard.
The courtyard was bustling.
Siao Shi was lying on the bed. Song Liuying and Xue Ningyu were beside her talking. Leng Qiu and Leng Qing were huddled together and whispering. Seeing Chu Li enter, Leng Qiu shrunk her neck.
Chu Li smiled and nodded at her. Her pure face turned pale and she quickly looked away.
