The two assassins were quickly taken away by Xiao Chu's men.

Shijin's mind is a little confused.

It was not until Xiao Chu called her for a long time that she came to her senses.

"Xiao Jin? Xiao Jin!"

"Ok?"

Shijin came to her senses and saw Xiao Chu looking at her worriedly.

“Are you frightened?

Don't worry, the person has been caught.

And the remaining people were also dealt with.

You don't have to be afraid, those assassins should be coming for me.

I guess it was just an accident that I came here.

I'll send a few more guards over later.

Just sleep peacefully, nothing will happen again."

Xiao Chu comforted.

However, Shijin didn't feel appeased.

Isn't it aimed at her?

But why did she feel that those two people's target was her?

She looked at Xiao Chu.

"Xiao Yuzhu, do you often encounter assassins?"

Xiao Chu smiled bitterly.

“It didn’t happen before.

But after he regained his status as the Eighth Prince, it happened more often.

As for the reason, I think you know it even if I don’t tell you.”

Assorted naturally knows.

Because of interests.

She always knew that Xiao Qiran was often assassinated.

But I never thought about it.

Xiao Qiran actually also knows how to assassinate others.

For example, Xiao Chu.

It's just that everything happened too fast.

It was so fast that she still hasn't reacted to it.

I still can't believe it until now.

Xiao Qiran actually wanted to kill her.

Then what about the dependence and teasing before?

She had even promised him that she would not ignore him.

The entire Helian family will use their full strength to protect him throughout his life.

why?

Is it because she was just protecting him?

Isn't it to help him seize the throne?

Shijin felt a little chill in his heart.

But she felt that she still had more doubts.

Whether it was a fluke or not.

She felt that she couldn't just judge that Xiao Qiran wanted to kill her based on the two signs.

After all, hadn't he been misunderstood before and sent assassins to kill Xiao Qiran?

Perhaps there is some other misunderstanding?

She had to get an answer from him face to face.

Thinking of this, she really wanted to set off back to Beijing right now.

I don't want to wait any longer.

But soon she smelled the smell of blood again.

Different from the bloody smell before.

This time the smell of blood was very fresh, and it was obviously a new wound.

New injury?

The two assassins had just been taken away by Xiao Chu's men.

Where did the new injury come from?

Shijin was stunned.

He immediately looked at Xiao Chu and said:

"You are hurt?!"

Xiao Chu was also stunned when he heard this.

Only then did he check his entire body.

At first glance, I discovered it.

It turned out that his arm was scratched during the fight just now.

Xiao Chu looked at his wound and smiled foolishly.

"Ah, so I was injured. I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told me, Xiaojin."

He was a little embarrassed.

Assorted: ...

What kind of reflex arc is this for Xiao Chu?

It’s all in vain that he’s 1.8-meter tall.

Isn't it possible to grow taller but not smarter?

See this.

Shijin quickly got him some medicine and bandaged him himself.

Xiao Chu still looked embarrassed.

"Well, Xiaojin, there's actually no need to apply medicine to such a minor injury.

After a while it will stop bleeding on its own.

Then it usually takes about five to seven days for it to heal.”

He said it very casually, as if getting hurt was a common occurrence.

Shijin heard the word "generally" in his words.

“You are quite experienced.

Why, have you been assassinated so many times recently that you have gained some experience?"

However, Xiao Chu shook his head.

"That's not true.

It was when General Xiao and Brother Qi sent me to the battlefield.

I fought many battles, got hurt many times, and gained a lot of experience.”

Assorted: ...

Assorted couldn't help but recall.

Yes, he was originally just a small jailer.

Later, he became at most a small guard.

It was Xiao Qiran who sent him to the battlefield personally.

If Xiao Qiran hadn't sent him to the battlefield, how could he have achieved so much success?

How could he earn military merit?

How could he later rely on all these achievements?

Was he successfully blessed by Emperor Qing with the title of the second general of "Da Xiao"?

How could it be so smooth sailing and the civil and military officials recognized his identity as the Eighth Prince?

Speaking of which, Xiao Qiran and she are quite similar in a funny way.

She accidentally saved Xiao Qi, which led to her becoming the villain Xiao Qiran today.

She missed her best chance to kill him.

Step by step, he turned the situation into what is most disadvantageous to him now.

And Xiao Qiran also sent Xiao Chu to the military camp by mistake.

And this made Xiao Chu achieve great achievements.

He also missed the best opportunity to kill Xiao Chu.

Also step by step.

The originally good situation has now become a situation where he can hardly move forward.

I just don't know when there's no one around.

I wonder if Xiao Qiran has ever beaten his chest and stamped his feet like her.

"Xiao Yuzhu, during those years in the military camp, did you ever hate Xiao Qiran?"

Shijin asked softly as he bandaged his wound carefully.

Shijin thought the answer must be yes.

But Xiao Chu looked reminiscent and said, "No.

On the contrary, I am still grateful to him until now.

Either it wasn’t General Xiao or it wasn’t Seventh Brother.

I may never be able to realize my ideals and ambitions in my entire life.

There is no chance of meeting His Majesty at all.

It is even more impossible for him to recognize his father.

So that he can return to him and regain his status as a prince."

The bandaged hand paused.

"You have never hated him, but now he has sent assassins to kill you.

So, do you hate him now?"

Shijin asked softly again.

This time Xiao Chu paused and did not answer immediately.

But he only paused for a moment and quickly gave an answer.

“I don’t hate him.

Similarly, I don’t hate my third brother and tenth brother.

Because I know they are just doing what they feel they have to do.”

Assorted: ...

What he meant by "must do" was to get rid of all the princes except himself?

Suddenly, she felt fortunate that Xiao Shisan was only five years old.

He was only five years old and was not eligible to participate in the fight for the throne.

So he was not among those to be assassinated.

Not like Xiao Qiran and Xiao Chu.

“What about you, Xiao Yuzhu, do you want to kill them?

If you want, I will find a way for you."

The reason why she asked this.

In fact, I just wanted to test Xiao Chu's attitude.

Find out what he thinks.

The reason why I just said I would help him find a solution.

Because I don't want to make a promise to him.

She could send someone to protect him from those assassins.

But he won't help him kill people.

She couldn't kill anyone.

She can't.

Xiao Chu looked indifferent when he heard that.

“What’s the point of killing them?

My father thinks so highly of me, how could I let him down?

Moreover.

Even if we take a step back, they are still my brothers and sisters.

I can't do something like killing my brother.

Otherwise I won’t talk about myself.

Even my mother would beat me to death!"

When he said this, Xiao Chu shuddered a little.

It seemed that he had already imagined the scene of himself being chased and beaten to death by his mother.

Shijin couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

The mother he was referring to should be the peasant woman who adopted him.
