BXBX NOVEL Chapter 434 - 434: Two-faced Couple (2)
She held Dahu and Erhu’s hands while lazy Xiaohu was held in the eunuch’s arms.
Xiaohu jumped down and pointed at the big and bright lights. “What is this?”
The Empress Dowager said kindly, “It’s a long light.” Xiaohu only understood the light.
There were also lights at home, but they were not so big.
The Empress Dowager said to the three little ones, “Go and light one too.”
The eunuch in charge brought three long lamps. Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu followed suit.
The Empress Dowager asked the eunuch in charge to set up a futon and said to the three little ones, “Come, kowtow to your grandfather.”
The three little ones were confused and turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao not far away.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded slightly.
The three little ones kowtowed clumsily.
It was dark. It was time for the Empress Dowager to return to the palace.
The Empress Dowager couldn’t bear to part with the three children and hugged them tightly.
Deng An came over and knocked on the door. “Physician Su, my young master is preparing to leave the mountain.”
For the safety of the three little ones, Su Xiaoxiao asked Ling Yun to bring them to the temple.
The Empress Dowager’s eyes revealed deep reluctance.
“Empress Dowager,” Su Xiaoxiao said softly. “It’s time to go.”
The Empress Dowager looked at the three little fellows sleeping soundly on the bed. “I’ll take one last look.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “As long as you live well, you will have a chance to meet again in the future.”
The Empress Dowager nodded. “You’re right. There’s still a chance in the future… I want to live. I want to protect them as they grow up. I won’t let anyone hurt them!”
Su Xiaoxiao and Deng An carried the three little ones into Ling Yun’s carriage.
Ling Yun looked at the three traitorous disciples in disdain. “Don’t forget the conditions you agreed to.”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Ten boxes of snowflake pastries and five boxes of wife cakes. I’ll send them to you tomorrow.”
“That’s more like it.” Ling Yun closed the curtain and left with his three disciples.
The Empress Dowager also got into the carriage back to the palace.
The Empress Dowager desperately wanted to know what all of this was about.
How did Minter escape back then and settle down all these years?
Who was the child’s father? Where was he now?
How did Su Xiaoxiao meet the three children and become their mother?
Just as she was about to speak, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly pressed her wrist.
“EmDress Dowager. no matter what haDDens later. don’t come out of the
carriage.”
“What?”
As soon as the Empress Dowager finished speaking, an arrow shot toward the convoy!
The horse was shocked and let out a shrill roar. The imperial guard on the horse fell.
The leader of the guards drew his sword. “Assassins! Protect the Empress
Dowager!”
As soon as he finished speaking, another wave of arrows shot over. Right on the heels of that, more than ten masked men in black darted out of the forest on both sides.
The two sides fought fiercely.
There were many assassins, and the guards were gradually at a disadvantage.
The Empress Dowager sat in the carriage with a cold expression, but there was no panic or fear.
She could be an ordinary Grandma in front of her children, but in front of the enemy, she only had one identity.
That was the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou!
Swoosh!
The curtain was cut open by the assassin!
The assassin stabbed at the Empress Dowager fiercely.
The Empress Dowager glared at him coldly. Even in the face of death, there was no panic or embarrassment in her eyes.
At the critical moment, Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the other party’s wrist and knocked down his long saber. She then kicked him mercilessly!
He hit two of his companions, and the three of them fell to the ground and vomited blood.
Su Xiaoxiao left the carriage and stood on the outside seat domineeringly. If one came, she would kick one. If two came, she would kick a pair.
The assassins took turns, but none of them could gain an advantage from her.
Perhaps the assassins realized that she was a difficult character and gave up on attacking her. Instead, they fought with the group of imperial guards.
The guards were gradually losing.
What was worse was that another wave of assassins rushed out of the forest. This wave of assassins was much stronger.
One of them flew towards Su Xiaoxiao and tied her up with a whip.
Then, his long saber slashed at Su Xiaoxiao’s head.
No sooner said than done, a tall and muscular figure descended from the sky. He parried that person’s long saber with a sword and did a backflip. The tip of his foot kicked that person’s chin and he fell to the ground on the spot.
“Are you okay?” the man asked.
Su Xiaoxiao said weakly, “I’m fine. Hurry… protect the Empress Dowager.”
Wei Ting nodded calmly and flicked his sword to cut off the whip on her body. He said coldly, “Go to the carriage and wait. I’ll deal with them.”
Su Xiaoxiao instantly turned from a female bandit to a pitiful person. She covered her chest and stared at him deeply. “Thank you, Young Master…”
The imperial guards were thinking: Something feels wrong.
Seeing Wei Ting arrive, the guards heaved a sigh of relief.
With Lord Wei around, they would not die under the assassins’ swords.
Wei Ting said coldly, “To capture bandits, capture the leader first. Yuchi Xiu, go deal with that person with the golden saber!”
Yuchi Xiu said carelessly, “Which one? That shorty?”
Fu Su trembled.
“You’re the shorty!”
“Your entire family is short! ”
After Wei Ting and Yuchi Xiu dealt with the few leading assassins, the assassins ran away without a leader.
The leader of the imperial guards walked forward and cupped his hands at Wei
Ting. “Thank you for saving us, Lord Wei! ”
Wei Ting said coldly, “You’re welcome. Are the Empress Dowager and that palace maid alright?”
“Palace maid?” The leader of the Imperial Guards said in a daze, “You mean the fat girl just now? She’s Physician Su! Has Lord Wei never seen her?”
Wei Ting said without changing his expression, “Once during the competition between Qin Che and Qin Jiang, but I didn’t take a closer look.”
The leader of the imperial guards was enlightened. “I see. I was wondering why
Lord Wei would save the someone from Qin family.”
Two hours later, the news that the youngest son of the Wei family had saved the daughter of the Qin family exploded in the capital
