Xi Er raised her eyes and looked at Su Xiao Jin's smiling eyes. She softly replied and took the yellow powder.

Su Xiao Jin nodded with a smile and took out a brocade handkerchief from under her pillow. When Xi Er stepped forward, her figure blocked Su Xiao Jin, and her back was also facing the person outside.

That person impatiently pierced the window paper and blew in the knockout powder.

At this moment, Su Xiao Jin had already taken the handkerchief and covered her and Xiao Xi'er's mouth. Xi Er's eyes opened wide, and Su Xiao Jin looked at her, indicating that she should fall down. Thus, Xi Er held the handkerchief by her nose with one hand, and with the other hand, she handed the powder to Su Xiao Jin.

At this time, Su Xiao Jin turned her body over and cleverly covered her movements. However, she had already opened the bag of yellow powder.

In the next moment, a hissing sound could be heard from within the room. Su Xiao Jin naturally knew that it was the sound of a snake, but they did not speak. They were simply crying out, and approached the window step by step.

Her face was pale, for she too had heard the sound, and her heart was beating wildly.

Su Xiao Jin heard a chirping sound coming from outside, and then she heard someone shout: "Who is it?"

Fighting sounds came from outside the window. Su Xiaojin sprinkled the yellow powder outside, and those snakes immediately turned into poison, frantically retreating one by one.

At this time, Xi'er opened her eyes and climbed onto Su Xiao Jin's bed in fear, calling out in a low voice: "Miss, are you alright?"

Su Xiao Jin shook her head, indicating that she was fine. She looked at the worry in Xi Er's eyes and felt somewhat moved. Holding her hand, she said, "Rest assured, I was prepared for this long ago." The two of them cast their gaze under the bed. Although they already knew that there was a snake here, they still felt goosebumps all over their bodies when they saw more than ten green snakes crawling about on the ground.

If you looked carefully, you would see that the snake's belly was yellowish green, each of its scales had a pale white rear edge, and its tail was charred red red. Their heads were triangular, and with a glance, you could tell it was a venomous snake.

At this moment, the fighting outside was becoming more and more intense. The rooms that had their lights turned off were already lit up, and the maids' screams resounded through the skies.

Su Xiao Jin's door was kicked open, but the Young Master Qiushan, who kicked the door in, walked in unhurriedly. In the next moment, his calm expression disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a murderous look and ruthlessness.

The two green snakes flew towards him. Young Master Qiushan waved the feather fan in his hand; it was as sharp as a blade or sword, and it instantly split the two snakes apart. Su Xiao Jin broke out in cold sweat and shouted: "Be careful!"

Young Master Qiushan followed him and retreated a few steps. At the same time, he threw out a palm, sending a poisonous snake flying far away.

Then, two men wearing dark, patterned robes came out with their swords. When they saw a room full of snakes, they couldn't help but be shocked. Their eyes flashed with anger, and in the next moment, the swords in their hands chopped down the remaining ten snakes.

Xi Er and Su Xiao Jin were alarmed. They looked at each other and quickly kowtowed before disappearing from the large Prime Minister's Mansion at lightning speed.

At this time, Gu Zhiqiu, who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion, was panicking. The snake carrier and several other black-clothed men had already been stopped in their tracks.

Her face was extremely pale. Gongzi Qiushan looked at her, whose head was lowered and chest was covered with her hair. He looked at her shoulders, which were as black as ink, and looked at the buckle on her chest.

When his gaze met with Su Xiao Jin's misty, watery eyes, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Su Xiao Jin's eyes drooped down, realizing that her chest was half open. She let out a soft "Ah!" and quickly turned around, putting on the buckle and tie, her face was also burning.

Young Master Qiushan had also returned to his senses. He looked at the fan with disdain and said, "Ai, what a pity that I have such a good fan."

Su Xiao Jin turned around, the red glow in her eyes had already disappeared, all that was left was Qingming and the ridicule. She smiled, raised her eyebrows, and said lightly: "Your majesty, you barged into the Prime Minister's Palace, isn't that a little …. It's not right? "

Young Master Qiushan chuckled lightly. His long eyebrows flew to his temples and he looked indescribably high-spirited. He walked over and pulled Su Xiao Jin off the bed. Su Xiao Jin didn't even have time to feel the pain before she was already hugged by a princess of Gongzi Qiushan and safely leaned against his chest.

At this moment, Gu Zhiqiu's voice rang out from outside. Young Master Qiushan lowered his gaze, his long eyelashes sweeping the faint traces of something that appeared in front of the long and narrow eyes of a phoenix. He gently pecked Su Xiaojin's cheek and gently said, "Beautiful girl, looks like you're going to put on an act again."

Su Xiao Jin was embarrassed and angry, but Young Master Qiu Shan was already carrying her and walking towards the door. At this moment, Xi`er was still lying limply on the bed, her little face red from the heat. It was hard to tell that the emperor had long known that his mistress was no fool. So, he really did like the emperor? Thinking of this, Xiu-Er felt a warm feeling in her nose, as if she was about to spit out blood. No, Miss and the Emperor are too sweet to bear.

Gu Zhiqiu stood there, his face as calm as water as he looked at the men tied up and kneeling on the ground. Behind him, there were also a few cold looking fourth rank guards with sabers on their backs that exuded a somber aura.

"What's going on?" Gu Zhiqiu asked coldly.

The servants and maidservants all knelt down at the same time, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"What's going on?" At this moment, Gongzi Qiushan's devilish voice rang out by his ear. Gu Zhiqiu was startled and raised his eyes to see a gongzi Qiushan dressed in a light blue and gold robe, holding onto a trembling, teary Su Xiaojin as she walked out.

His face was cold and unperturbed, and his eyes flashed with anger. His lips had a smile, and his gaze was fixed on Gu Zhiqiu as he asked without emotion, "I would also like to ask, Prime Minister, why is it that even I am unable to guarantee the safety of my beloved concubine?"

Gu Zhiqiu lifted his skirt and knelt on one knee. He clasped his fists and said, "Your majesty, your subject deserves to die ten thousand times. It's just that there's something fishy about the events of tonight. " Saying that, he raised his eyes and saw that Su Xiao Jin was still clutching her son's neck in fear as she muttered, "Afraid …."

Young Master Qiu Shan said mercilessly, "You deserve to die!"

However, Gongzi Qiushan had already carried Su Xiaojin down the stairs as he lazily said, "If it wasn't for me having my guards secretly protect my beloved concubine, I'm afraid that she would have suddenly disappeared just like last time. I'm afraid that tonight, the Prime Minister will only see the body of his beloved concubine."

At this time, Su Xiao Jin began to sob softly, while wiping away her tears and mucus on Young Master Qiu Shan's clean clothes. Young Master Qiushan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at her. He was trying his best to resist the urge to punch her into the sky.

Gu Zhiqiu solemnly kowtowed and said, "This official is terrified. However, Xiao Jin is also my daughter, this subject is also worried. "

"Miss …" At this moment, Xi'er trembled as she walked out of the room. When she saw Gu Zhiqiu, she suddenly burst into tears. She ran up to Gu Zhiqiu and said, "Master, these people have left more than ten poisonous snakes in our room!"

Gu Zhiqiu's expression turned cold. He was also somewhat shocked in his heart. A dozen or so poisonous snakes? It seemed that if it weren't for Young Master Qiushan watching them closely, Su Xiao Jin and her companion's life would have ended without a sound. He could not help but roar in anger, "You people, don't you even have eyes?"

Everyone trembled as they prostrated themselves on the ground. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"I had originally wanted to take advantage of the darkness of the night to take a look at my beauty, but I didn't expect that I would encounter such a good show the moment I arrived." Prime Minister, you really will never let me down. " Young Master Qiushan smiled as he spoke, but every word he spoke was as sharp as a blade, his every word as poisonous as a poison, causing Gu Zhiqiu to not know how to respond.

After a long while, Young Master Qiushan sighed and said, "Forget it, now is not the time to hold you accountable. Prime Minister, you have to carefully interrogate these people. I'd like to see who repeatedly tried to harm my beloved concubine." As he spoke, his gaze silently fell on the rushing Song family.

Under the moonlight, the Song Clan's face was as pale as paper. Being stared at by Young Master Qiushan, her body went limp and she fell to her knees.

She tilted her head to look at the kneeling Song family, only to see that she was wearing a golden cheongsam, with a woman's head piled high like a wall. She was meticulously combed, with a golden phoenix inserted diagonally in her hair. At this moment, her eyes were slightly lowered, and even though her face was as pale as a piece of paper, one could still see the delicateness and seductiveness of her facial features.

From Xi'er's words, Su Xiao Jin already knew that the Song family had married into the Prime Minister's Estate at the age of sixteen, and they were only thirty-seven. Her face was well-preserved and still attractive. It was impossible to tell her age.

Su Xiao Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud. She then turned around and asked Young Master Qiu Shan in a soft voice, "Are you done hugging this guy?"

Who would have thought that Young Master Qiushan would hold her even more tightly and lazily lean against the pillar as he lightly said, "All of you, get up. Prime Minister, you can begin as well. "

Gu Zhiqiu and the rest all stood up after thanking their Master for his kindness. His gaze swept across Madame Song behind him like lightning, a pair of dark eyes filled with complex emotions. Madame Song found it difficult to breathe, and staggered a few steps back.

Gu Zhiqiu walked up to them and said faintly, "Who sent you?"

Those people lowered their heads in silence, as if they were prepared to die.

She would not say it, they would not say it, because when she found them, she would tell them that if they did say it, their families and children would all die.

Gu Zhiqiu slowly paced back and forth, then he raised his hand and viciously swung it down on a person's head. Before the man could even make a sound, he had already fallen to the ground.

"If you don't say it, each of you will die the same way as him. Moreover, none of your family members will be able to survive. To harm the imperial concubine, we have to bring about a whole family of nine. " His voice was cold, but it was still neither fast nor slow.

A cool breeze was blowing. The magpie stood on the branch, chirping happily. However, only Su Xiaojin could understand its words. It said, "Good death, good death."

Looking at the man lying on the ground, Su Xiao Jin felt her heart turn cold. Was life really so fragile in ancient times?
