"Nothing, nothing."

Tang Xue shook her head. "You didn't do it on purpose. It's the same for everyone. We just can't help ourselves."

Su Xuqing's face darkened slightly, and she went to the backyard to find the little Taoist priest who was cooking.

"Little Taoist Master."

The young Taoist priest was putting wood into the stove. When he heard Su Xuqing's voice, he turned his face, which was covered with grass ash.

"Layman, why did you come back so soon?"

"I just encountered an assassin in the woods, so you hid in your Taoist temple. I came here to talk to you."

Hearing this, the little Taoist priest jumped up as if his butt was on fire.

"Why is there an assassin on the mountain? Could it be that Master's divination is correct?"

Su Xuqing frowned. She was originally skeptical about such mysterious things as fortune-telling, but since she met the old Taoist priest, she felt that there were many things in this world that she probably could not understand.

"You said before that there would be a bloody disaster in the Taoist temple?"

"That's right!"

The little Taoist nodded rapidly.

"But no one is injured yet... and the assassin has already escaped. Could it be..."

Su Xuqing was startled and quickly ran to the front yard.

If the master's hexagram is correct, then what happened just now was probably a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain. There must be other assassins waiting in anticipation at this moment!

The little princess was bored waiting so she sat down at the stone table in the yard. She picked up some pine nuts from somewhere and ate them one by one.

Perhaps it was too troublesome to crack the pine nuts, so she took off her precious hairpin and picked out the pine nuts one by one.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind her.

The little princess clapped her hands and turned back with a smile, "Sister Su, you go back..."

Before she could finish her words, her little face turned pale.

I saw a masked one-eyed man holding a black knife on her neck, and the black knife was emitting a faint smell of blood.

"Are you Su Xuqing?"

The little princess clenched her fists nervously, "No... I am Princess Tang Xue..."

The one-eyed man looked at her attire and saw that she had not combed her hair. She certainly did not look like a married prince's consort.

"Where is the Crown Princess?"

"she……"

The little princess covered her right hand with her sleeve, holding the jade hairpin with trembling palm.

"She is just..."

Halfway through her words, the little princess desperately raised the iron hairpin in her hand.

"stop."

Su Xu's clear and melodious voice was heard. The two guards outside the door heard the noise and rushed in with their swords drawn. The one-eyed dragon was startled and quickly knocked away the jade hairpin, put the sword across Tang Xue's neck, and took her hostage.

"Don't come over here, or I'll kill her!"

Facing the threat from the one-eyed dragon, Su Xuqing didn't even bother to look at him, but said to Tang Xue: "Don't do such stupid things in the future. It's hard for you to kill him, but it's easy for him to kill you."

The young princess pursed her lips and said, "I'm about to marry far away. Thinking about the future, I just feel that it's boring. If I die, I'll die!"

Su Xuqing said nothing, then turned to look at the one-eyed dragon.

"Let her go, or you will die too."

The one-eyed dragon glanced at the guards behind Su Xuqing and said, "Just two guards, I don't even care about them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards who had just gone out to chase the assassin returned. Seeing that something was wrong in the yard, they immediately drew their swords.

Su Xuqing sneered, "What about now?"

The one-eyed dragon's mouth twitched. He could still handle two people, but six people would probably make him chopped into minced meat.

"If I let her go, you will let me go?"

"My words always count. As long as you let her go and tell me who your employer is, our grudge will be settled."

"That won't work."

The one-eyed man snorted coldly, "Every profession has its own rules. Killers cannot betray their employers. Otherwise, how can they continue to survive in the underworld?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere became tense.

The guard who had just chased the assassin frowned as he looked at the black knife, then quickly walked to Su Xuqing and whispered a few words.

Su Xuqing's eyes turned cold and he clenched his fists in his sleeves.

She raised her phoenix eyes, glanced at the other blind eye of the one-eyed dragon, and said calmly: "I can cure your eyes. As a bargaining chip, you should tell me who your employer is, right?"

The one-eyed man was surprised when he heard this. "I have been blind for many years. Can you cure it?"

Su Xuqing said calmly, "Your eyes are not blind from birth, but you injured your nerves in a fight. Although you look blind, you can still see a little blurry outline, right?"

"It's amazing!"

The one-eyed man was extremely delighted that what the woman in front of him said was exactly right.

"If you can really cure my eyes, I will tell you who my employer is! If my eyes are cured, I can make a living anywhere!"

Su Xuqing had a cold expression on her face and nodded slightly, "I'm going to use the needle, stand still."

The one-eyed dragon stood like a wooden stake, but he never put down the knife in his hand. If Su Xuqing dared to make any unusual movement, he would take her with him before he died.

Su Xuqing took out a few silver needles, inserted them into the acupuncture points around his right eye, and rubbed them gently.

In just a moment, the white pupils of the eyes turned back to black.

As the setting sun came into view, the one-eyed man became dazed.

After so many years, this blind man finally sees!

He put away the knife and clasped his hands together, "Thank you!"

"You and I are doing business, no need to thank me."

Su Xuqing avoided him and refused his gift, not because she was humble, but because she looked down on him.

The one-eyed dragon smiled and said, "My employer paid me five hundred taels to kill you. He said that if I succeed, I will tell you before you die that the murderer is Su Min'er."

Su Miner!

Su Xuqing's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. This bitch was really pretending in front of the old prince's wife! After so many days of acting, the fox's tail was finally exposed!

Su Min'er has tried to harm her time and again, this time she must not be allowed to live in this world!

After the one-eyed man finished speaking, he took a few steps back.

"My employer has already told you, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, the one-eyed man turned and left.

"Wait a minute."

The one-eyed dragon paused, his face becoming grim, "The Crown Prince's wife doesn't keep her word?"

Su Xuqing sneered, "We have settled our grievances, but did the father and son from the farmer's family down the mountain die at your hands?"

The one-eyed dragon was horrified. How did she know what was happening down the mountain?

Little did they know that when the guards were chasing the assassin down the mountain, they accidentally discovered a tragedy in a farmer's house. The father and son were both killed by knife wounds, and the width of the wounds was no different from those caused by the black knife.

The guard who had just informed Su Xuqing swung his knife and said, "Kill."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the one-eyed dragon jumped up on his toes and tried to escape.

But his eyes went dark and he suddenly fell from mid-air. Then he had a splitting headache and was unable to get up.

"You! What did you do to me!"

Su Xuqing sat on the stone bench, not even looking at him, and said gently, "When I treated your eyes just now, I directed the blood stasis in your veins through the Yin Tang to the Bai Hui, and then to the brain, so the blockage could not be released."

"Your life span is over."
