Yan Qianqian

However, when he examined the captured assassin more closely, he couldn't help but wonder: perhaps this person was caught because the assassination failed, and since he had fallen into such a state, he would surely be interrogated later.

Thinking this, the guard hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to help Qianqian carry the assassin to Shangguan Xingyu's Qin Gong.

At the same time, Shangguan Xingyu, who had just finished breakfast, was happily preparing to go for a walk to enjoy the fresh and pleasant morning air.

Just then, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps approaching from afar. She turned to look and saw her personal palace maid running toward this side in a panic.

Before Shangguan Xingyu could ask what had happened, the palace maid shouted breathlessly: "Eighth Princess, something's wrong! Miss Qianqian caught an assassin!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xingyu immediately showed surprise and hurriedly asked: "Where was he caught?"

The palace maid, catching her breath while shaking her head, replied: "Your Servant doesn't know the specifics, only heard it seemed to be at the back gate of the Imperial Palace, carried back by the guards there."

Shangguan Xingyu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then instructed: "Quick, send someone to invite my Elder Brother over."

After receiving the order, the palace maid dared not delay in the slightest, immediately turned and ran toward where Shangguan Xingyan was.

Yesterday, Shangguan Xingyan had been busy all day long and was utterly exhausted. Therefore, today he truly overslept for a while, only waking up lazily when the sun was already three poles high.

At this moment, he had just gotten up and hadn't even had time to eat breakfast when he heard light footsteps and the slightly anxious voice of a little eunuch at the door: "Reporting to the Sixth Prince, the personal palace maid of the Eighth Princess requests an audience!"

Shangguan Xingyan rubbed his sleepy eyes and casually replied: "Let her come in." Soon after, a pretty little palace maid walked into the room quickly, performed a respectful bow, and repeated the previous words to Shangguan Xingyan.

Hearing this, Shangguan Xingyan's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Go, let's go see!" Before his voice faded, he impatiently strode toward the Eighth Princess's Qin Gong. Along the way, he was anxious, his steps hurried, secretly wondering what had happened.

Not long after, Shangguan Xingyan finally arrived at the destination. Looking up, he happened to see several strong little eunuchs frantically tying an unconscious assassin firmly to a thick tree. Meanwhile, the Eighth Princess Qianqian stood to one side, her beautiful eyes fixed on the commotion here.

Seeing Shangguan Xingyan arrive, Qianqian's face immediately lit up with joy, and she asked in a coquettish voice: "Xingyan Elder Brother, have you had breakfast?" Shangguan Xingyan, panting, shook his head and replied: "Not yet, I just got up myself."

Qianqian smiled slightly at this and softly proposed: "Then why not dine with me?" Shangguan Xingyan hesitated slightly, then nodded and agreed: "Very well." Just then, Shangguan Xingyu, who had been standing by, hurriedly told the palace maid beside her: "Quick, go to Yushi and get some breakfast."

Not long after, the palace maids carefully carried various steaming, fragrant breakfast items back to the front of the Qin Gong. Seeing this, Qianqian lightly waved her hand, signaling the palace maids to place the food on the stone table outside, and softly instructed: "Just put it here; we may have other matters to handle later."

The palace maids obediently placed the exquisite side dishes, fragrant diejiao, steaming rice porridge, and beautifully shaped pastries one by one on the blue stone table. Then the three of them sat down in turn and began to enjoy this sumptuous meal.

Since Shangguan Xingyu had already eaten before, there was no portion of food placed before her. Meanwhile, Qianqian on the other side was like a hungry little beast, impatiently letting out a cry and taking a huge bite of the pastry in her hand, muttering: "Oh my, I really am a bit hungry!"

Shangguan Xingyan, sitting to one side, smiled slightly, picked up a golden crispy diejiao with his hand and put it in his mouth to chew. After swallowing, he looked at Qianqian with interest and asked: "Qianqian, speaking of which, where exactly did you catch this person?"

Qianqian swallowed the pastry in her mouth, licked her lips, and replied: "Xingyan Elder Brother, didn't you tell me last night that there's an abandoned Wuchang nearby? I thought I'd get up early today to practice martial arts there, so I hurried over excitedly.

But who knew that when I reached a narrow Xiaoxiang, I suddenly became confused and couldn't remember whether to turn left or right. No choice, I finally just picked a side at random. As a result, hehe, I chose wrong and actually walked into a dilapidated Simiao.

At that time I vaguely saw shadows moving inside the Simiao, and out of curiosity I quietly went closer to check. And wouldn't you know it, I happened to overhear those two people's conversation."

Shangguan Xingyan showed a doubtful expression and said: "The conversation of these two actually concerns us?" Qianqian sitting to one side nodded and replied: "Of course, if it weren't such an important matter, how would I have gone to such trouble to carry him back! This guy is really heavy as death!" Saying this, Qianqian still didn't forget to complain a few words.

Hearing this, Shangguan Xingyu couldn't help but curiously ask: "Then who exactly was he going to assassinate?" Qianqian put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked serious, and replied: "According to him, the target is my Father and them."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Shangguan Xingyu's face was full of worry, and she urgently asked: "Then do you know how An Wang and them are now? Are they injured?"

Qianqian hurriedly comforted her: "Xingyu Elder Sister, don't worry, Father and them are all fine, no serious problem. Listening to this man, their operation this time was completely wiped out, only he alone managed to escape. However, my Father has many highly skilled Anqi protecting him by his side, so there's no need to worry too much."

Hearing this, Shangguan Xingyu breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still said somewhat uneasily: "That's good..." At this moment, Shangguan Xingyan, who had been silently pondering to one side, suddenly interjected: "Since that's the case, then where exactly do these assassins come from? And for what reason do they want to attack An Wang?"

Qianqian, who was eating heartily, raised her head and mumbled unclearly with food in her mouth: "This... currently unclear. Let's interrogate this person properly later; maybe we can find out some useful information from him."
