Linglong asked him to get up, and he smiled so hard that he squinted his eyes and said with a childish look on his face: "Your Highness, this servant has arrived home, settled his wife and then came back.
I have no repayment for His Highness's kindness and virtue. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I am the first to kowtow to His Highness and wish His Highness peace and success! I wish my consort good luck and good health! "
Linglong ordered Yinger to bring him a bag of silver, a small red cloth bag, for good luck.
Xiao Xizi said with a smile: "Everyone in the city knows that His Highness is not seeing guests. I thought I couldn't get in and kowtowed in front of the door. I didn't expect to catch His Highness's sedan coming back just in time."
Linglong nodded: "Is everything going well in Fengyi Palace? If you feel tired, come to the princess mansion. There will be fewer rules and it will be more relaxed."
Xiao Xizi blushed and shook her head: "No, no, no, I'm not tired, I'm not tired."
Taking the baggage off his shoulder: "These are peach kernels and almonds from my hometown. They are baked with salt and are very fragrant. Specialties from my hometown. Please accept them, Your Highness."
Linglong nodded: "It's my heart. Okay, I'll accept it."
Xiao Xizi stared at Linglong carefully and said, "His Highness has gained some weight. I hope your Highness will have good luck and everything will go well."
Linglong pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, everything is fine."
Seeing that His Highness was happy, Xiao Xizi knelt down for two steps, untied the bundle, held it up and presented it to Linglong's feet: "Your Highness, would you like to have a taste?"
Linglong reached out to take it, but Chanjuan on the other side coughed and winked at her, meaning she couldn't eat it.
Linglong understood: "Oh, I just ate dumplings in the palace. They were just right. Any more would be too much. Let's try them later. Chanjuan, put this good thing away and remember to remind me to try it."
Chanjuan stepped forward, collected the baggage, and carried it away.
Xiao Xizi said oh and kowtowed: "Then Xiao Xizi will kowtow to thank you for the reward. I will resign!" Xiao Xizi happily left with the red envelope in his arms.
Only then did Linglong call out to Chanjuan: "What's going on?"
Chanjuan said: "Your Highness, if pregnant women eat peach kernels, they may have miscarriages."
Linglong was shocked, and Qingshan's eyes widened: "Could it be intentional?"
Linglong shook her head: "No, I can't come back without Xiao Xizi. How could he harm me? Besides, he doesn't know I'm pregnant. It's just a coincidence."
Chanjuan frowned: "If it was just a coincidence, why did I bring peach kernels with me? What a coincidence."
Linglong said: "There are also almonds here, not just peach kernels."
Qingshan frowned, Xiao Xizi reminded him of someone.

She didn't sleep last night. On New Year's Day, Linglong rested on the soft quilt for the whole day.
Because she was ordered by the emperor not to see guests, no one came to visit her to pay New Year greetings. Some people sent gifts to the door, and Xiaofuzi collected them on his behalf. He then informed the princess and sent people one by one to send back gifts. That was it on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It's over.
At night, just as the young couple was about to take a rest, there was a commotion in the yard.
The sound of swords clashing was loud.
Who would use the sword in the princess's house? It can only be an assassin.
Qingshan brings Linglong into the space.
He walked out the door with his long knife in hand. The guards surrounded the two assassins. The two sides faced off for a moment, and soon they were fighting together.
Originally, the two assassins were able to handle it, but as soon as Qingshan joined the battle, the two men immediately felt the extremely strong power and rapid speed, and they were completely unable to catch it.
The long knife struck the sword with a clang, and the huge force of the long knife pressed against them instantly made their arms numb. As soon as the two of them saw that they were invincible, they turned over and ran away.
Qingshan chased him out with his guards.
After chasing for a mile, several guards chased one of them.
The other fights Aoyama.
Qingshan kicked him, and Qingshan's long knife cut into the ground, stopping in front of an assassin's neck. The assassin actually faced the blade and sent it to his neck, killing himself under the knife. Qingshan Xin said, as long as you can catch one. Qingshan was delayed and couldn't catch up with the other one. He just hoped that the guards could catch him.
Qingshan leaned over and searched the assassin's body. There was nothing that could prove his identity. There was a lot of silver in his waist. It seemed that the silver was the silver reward issued by the palace for staying up late for the New Year. Ordinary guards and followers can only get one piece. Here's a pack.
Silver reward? Qingshan was stunned, one person got a bag of silver reward today.
He ran all the way back to the princess's bedroom, rushed in and saw a thin figure holding a sharp knife.
Qingshan raised his sword, looked at the man's back, and called out: "Xiao Xizi?"
The person in front of you paused and turned around unexpectedly. Although his face was covered, if you knew who he was, his exposed eyes would coincide with your familiar face.
Qingshan smiled: "Take the tiger away from the mountain? Transfer me away to assassinate the princess?"
The man looked at Qingshan in surprise: "How did you know? I couldn't have made any omissions."
Qingshan hugged his arms and said, "You really didn't make any mistakes."
Xiao Xizi calmed down: "Then how did you know it was me?"
"You two look so much alike."
Xiao Xizi was silent for a moment: "He is so rough and I am so young, is it similar?"
"Like, dimples."
Xiao Xizi nodded: "Just because they look alike?"
Qingshan chuckled: "Linglong doesn't understand, I am an Orion, how can I not understand? The wild pigeons in the mountain village cannot fly to the Yucheng Palace. At first I thought it was God's help. Until you took out the peach kernel, I suddenly understood .
You are 'that group of people' who captured the wild pigeons, took the letter, and then sent a skinny young man to replace the young eunuch into the palace, hand the letter to the emperor, and ask the emperor to rescue Linglong.
Why should the emperor rescue Linglong? Because the killers you sent down there died down there. Am I right? "
Xiao Xizi frowned.
Qingshan counted: "One's skull was ripped off by an eagle, and the other's skull was eaten by wolves."
Xiao Xizi's eyes changed, from a pair of smiling eyes to full of sinisterness: "Yes, so I have to bring you up to kill you."
Qingshan wrinkled his nose: "We finally got it, why can't we kill it?"
Xiao Xizi looked around: "It's strange, why is she not here? Is there a secret room in this house? How could you be prepared? You know everything?"
Qingshan chuckled: "So, before I sued Jiuzhai Arhat for bullying you, and even later I enlarged the poplar tree to come back to report the news, they were just trying to lure us out of the palace again."
"With hostages in hand, you can naturally get twice the result with half the effort. We were already prepared in secret, but unfortunately, Shangfeng suddenly canceled the assassination plan. He sent me to test you again. If you ask me, if things don't work, it's all because of Shangfeng's compassion."
Xiao Xizi raised the dagger and was about to stab her throat, but Qingshan swung the long knife and hit her hand, throwing the dagger away.
Qingshan jumped up, kicked the thin boy down, and trampled him under his feet: "Come here! Tie him up firmly."
Xiao Xizi was quickly tied into a package of rice dumplings and could not move.
Qingshan wondered, with such fighting power, he still came to assassinate?
Qingshan ordered: "Lin Luo, lock him up for interrogation and find a big cage to lock him up. If the organization behind him cannot be found out, cut him into thirty-six thousand pieces."
Lin Luo accepted the order: "Yes!"
————
The guards who went after the assassin came back. The guard fought with them, and they cut off half of the assassin's ear. People ran away.
Qingshan nodded and used everything he could to attract firepower. The one who really wants to take action is the trickster Xiao Xizi.
