Ye Han remained silent.
He could protect Pan’er from the elents, rush to the front to shield her from bullets in danger, but he was powerless in such situations!
"Let’s go! Brother Ye, let’s go down and see, the battle should be nearing its end."
Su Pan’er suddenly called to Ye Han, sneaking towards the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, the blood was so sudden, staining the entire road red.
By the ti Su Pan’er and her party approached, the battle had already ended, and those elite guards were cleaning up the battlefield. All the corpses were gathered together. They were currently searching the bodies for any clues. Seeing Su Pan’er and her party approach, they hurried up to report.
"Reporting to Empress, these people were all dressed in all-black clothes, and aside from a weapon, they had nothing on them that could prove their identity. It is the subordinate’s incompetence, please punish us, Empress."
"You all have worked hard. As for the identities of these people, there’s no need to investigate anymore. Let’s go, set off to return to the palace!"
Su Pan’er glanced over to see a thick layer of corpses surrounding her carriage. Clearly, these people had co for her.
Her expression unchanged, she walked past the crisscrossed corpses on the ground, got into the carriage, and leaned back to rest and gather her strength.
Outside, Ye Han was quickly directing everyone’s movents.
After a short ti, the carriage slowly started to move forward.
Even with her eyes closed, Su Pan’er could clearly feel Ye Han following right beside the moving carriage.
Back in the palace, it was evident that Qin Yi had already received the news about Su Pan’er’s assassination attempt and was waiting for her by the ramps.
"Your servant greets His Majesty..."
Su Pan’er was still performing the greeting, but Qin Yi had already stepped forward and grabbed her hand.
"Are you alright, Empress?"
He eagerly examined her from head to toe, and only after seeing no signs of injury did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Su Pan’er shook her head and looked towards Ye Han.
"Your Majesty, I am fine. With King Ye at my side, there will be no problems."
"You have worked hard, my loyal subject."
Qin Yi looked at Ye Han, who respectfully bowed with his fists.
"This is what this humble official should do; Your Majesty need not worry. However, the identities of those bandits still need to be thoroughly investigated."
Ye Han spoke with hidden aning.
Qin Yi caught on instantly and erupted in thunderous anger! He ordered the Ministry of War to imdiately start investigating this matter. The bandits would be caught and would not be spared!
Once they reached the Chuigong Palace Hall, Su Pan’er relaxed and went down to wash and rinse. Qin Yi dismissed everyone around and left Ye Han alone.
"Brother Ye, who do you think is behind this?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, regarding this matter, this humble official dares not to speak recklessly. However, with so many corpses, no matter how careful the other party is, their identity will eventually be revealed, it’s only a matter of ti. Your Majesty, just wait patiently for the result."
"It’s not that I want to wait for the result, it’s just that my heart is too disappointed with this result!"
Qin Yi lanted.
His lips tightly pressed. When Su Pan’er was going to attend the Virtuous King’s wedding, he had guessed that such a calamity might occur. Thus, he had secretly arranged for n. However, when the event actually happened, his heart still deeply sank.
Ye Han repeatedly wanted to say sothing but stopped himself, and finally, without saying anything, he withdrew.
"What are you planning to do?"
Su Pan’er gazed at the children playing happily outside and asked in a deep voice.
Although nothing was specified, Qin Yi still understood the unspoken part of her words.
"So things can be tolerated once or twice, but not a third ti. Considering that he has saved us many tis before, I have already given him countless chances! But this ti, he actually intended to harm you! I absolutely cannot tolerate that!"
He could endure those who opposed him. But if they intended to harm Pan’er, he could absolutely not bear it!
"Right now, he has just married the Princess of Western Xia, and if you punish him so suddenly, others might not see it as his fault but might think you have other intentions toward Western Xia. This could eventually destabilize the border. Let’s wait a little longer, there’s no need to rush!"
Su Pan’er thought more deeply.
Having experienced years of war earlier, she naturally understood how much the commoners suffered.
Delaying this matter wouldn’t cause any harm.
Qin Yi’s face darkened significantly, and he cursed under his breath finally remaining grim-faced and saying nothing.
Even so, he indeed did not take any action against Qin Feimo but instead summoned Mrs. Hwa, wife of State Duke Hua to the palace and gave her specific instructions.
What was discussed specifically, outsiders did not know.
When Mrs. Hwa left the palace, she looked quite upset, and even took the child Qin Kongyang with her directly to the Sage King’s Mansion to et Qin Feimo.
Initially, Su Pan’er had people watch the Sage King’s Mansion closely, and as soon as soone arrived there, the news reached Su Pan’er.
After a brief reflection, Su Pan’er understood Qin Yi’s intention.
Since Mrs. Hwa was particularly concerned about Qin Feimo, she naturally could not bear to see him in trouble. And Qin Feimo greatly respected Mrs. Hwa. Having her intervene was most suitable.
Qin Kongyang was taken away by Mrs. Hwa, and Su Pan’er thought she would give the child to Qin Feimo. Unexpectedly, she did not leave the child, but instead took Qin Kongyang back to the Hwa family’s residence, and declared to the public that she had found Qin Kongyang on the way and changed his surna to Hwa, calling him Hwa Jinzhi.
Su Pan’er thought for a mont and also understood Mrs. Hwa’s thoughts.
However, she did not stop it, allowing the child to enter the Hwa family’s genealogy.
Having settled the matter with Qin Kongyang, Su Pan’er then turned her attention to Little Yanyan.
Ever since Little Yanyan was taken away by the rascal pig, she had had no news of her.
The rascal pig was completely unreliable. If sothing happened to Little Yanyan, how could it be good?
"Although the rascal pig is unreliable in its affairs, it treats Little Yanyan extrely well. Since it said it took Little Yanyan, it will definitely treat her well. You can rest assured!"
Qin Yi assured earnestly.
This made Su Pan’er’s worries lessen slightly.
"Knowing is one thing, worrying is another. These children are the apple of my eye, and I can’t stand to lose even one. Moreover, Little Yanyan has been away from for so long, how could I not worry?"
"Alright, alright, you worry."
Qin Yi hurriedly consoled her: "That audacious pig has caused you so much distress, Next ti I see it, I won’t hesitate to give it a good beating, to let it understand why the flower is so red!"
These words made Su Pan’er laugh!
"Annoying! You’re actually imitating how I talk. You’re the Emperor above millions of people, and yet you’re still so audacious. Aren’t you ashad?"
"Ashad? There’s nothing to be ashad of. As long as you, Pan’er, are happy, not to ntion just giving it a beating, even if it ans annihilating it, I will agree."
"Achoo! Achoo, achoo achoo!..."
Far away, thousands of miles distant, a pig lay upturned on its back, showing its round, chubby belly, while sneezing continuously.
It finally changed its position and turned over, blinking its small piggy eyes sowhat perplexedly.
"The nose of Grandpa Pig is all itchy; who is badmouthing Grandpa Pig behind his back?"
