Chapter 115: This Assassin is a Bit Stupid

Baby Ruo Xi listened to the conversation, always feeling that her uncle seemed a bit restrained.

However, she also understood.

"The border has been under Zhao Huiqi's control for a long time. Perhaps Uncle hasn't fully grasped the situation yet. Moreover, we haven't clearly understood the conditions of the people in the city, so it's not wise to act rashly!" Baby Ruo Xi thought for a moment and then went into the space to search: "Great Wei border, Zhao Huiqi..."

"Oh, found it!"

Xiao Yin and Xiaoyue both perked up their ears, subconsciously picking up their teacups to drink tea.

"There's something I don't understand!" Zhao Huiqi looked at the brother and sister's actions with some curiosity: "It's freezing cold here. Why did Your Majesty bring the young princess? The Northern Desert is a harsh place!"

Even the military camp was drafty everywhere, and despite the fire in the middle of the room, no one felt particularly warm.

"Bringing Xi'er out to see the world!" Xiao Yin said.

"I came out to accompany my brother, so I brought Xi'er along. What, General Zhao, do you have to manage such matters?" Xiaoyue glanced at him and said.

Zhao Huiqi was merely making small talk.

Although he considered himself much older and a former general of the previous dynasty, holding the command of ten thousand soldiers in the Northern Desert.

He felt he could be more intimidating before the emperor, who used to be an unloved prince, someone he had once looked down upon.

Xiao Yin knew that Zhao Huiqi was a man of the former Prince Rui, but during the struggle for succession, this man was indulging in pleasure, and some said he had forgotten. However, Xiao Yin knew he saw that Prince Rui's fate was sealed and feared he would not succeed, so he deliberately stayed away.

Thus, relatively speaking, Zhao Huiqi appeared to speak without restraint, seeming like a simple-minded person, but in reality, he was very shrewd.

"Oh, found it." Baby Ruo Xi finally found it.

In her previous life, she traveled all over the world, seeking the murderer of her master and searching for medicinal herbs for cultivation. Therefore, she visited many places and countries.

For this reason, she collected a lot of historical records in her space, flipping through them when she had nothing to do, to learn about the landscapes of the places she had been to.

"Zhao Huiqi, a puppet of the Seven Colors Palace. After Emperor Great Wei was held hostage by Shangguan Jinghong, he immediately led his troops to surrender to Beiling, handing over three southern cities of the border to Beiling. Later, he became a stabilizing general in Beiling, specifically assisting the Seven Colors Palace in oppressing the people."

Baby Ruo Xi was already very angry after reading this.

When a baby gets angry, the consequences are severe.

The room had actually been silent for a while.

Xiao Yin and Xiaoyue didn't find anything amiss; they were listening to Baby Ruo Xi's thoughts. However, Zhao Huiqi felt very uncomfortable.

The emperor's aura was powerful, and at this moment, the energy around him was slowly seeping out, quite terrifying.

Zhao Huiqi hadn't expected that the unloved, despised prince of the royal family would be so strong.

He thought Xiao Yin had taken advantage of the chaos among the princes, becoming the beneficiary in the end.

So, he looked down on Xiao Yin.

But now, he felt a chill inside.

"The people are lacking clothes and food, especially charcoal for the winter. I believe we should send people to the mountains tomorrow to cut some trees for the people to keep warm," Xiao Yin said.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not! Those trees have stood for years, untouched. If we cut them recklessly, it will be difficult for them to grow back," Zhao Huiqi immediately shook his head.

"Hmph, compared to the lives of the people, the trees seem insignificant," Xiaoyue sneered.

"Princess Royal, you may not know, but the people on the border are poor and cunning. If they knew they could cut the trees, the mountains would have been stripped bare long ago!" Zhao Huiqi said.

"This man, blaming everything on the people, sigh, truly annoying. I'm tired, I'm going to sleep!" Baby Ruo Xi found it boring, yawned, and went to sleep.

Huzi brought some simple dishes over.

With Eunuch Gao's assistance, no one dared to make things difficult for Huzi in the kitchen.

However, the person who followed with the dishes gave Zhao Huiqi a meaningful look.

After lunch, Xiao Yin left Baby Ruo Xi behind and went to check the storage of military provisions and security.

Because his niece's thoughts had revealed that Zhao Huiqi would certainly tamper with the military provisions.

Baby Ruo Xi slept soundly, as last night in the village, the snoring of the villagers, plus her uncle and mother sleeping beside her, made it hard for her to rest well.

When she opened her eyes, it was already dark.

"Snap" A light sound startled Baby Ruo Xi.

Baby Ruo Xi's eyebrows twitched: "Ha, a dark and windy night, perfect for robbery and murder!"

This made Xiaoyue, who heard the sound, almost burst out laughing.

Her little daughter was so adorable, talking to herself!

But thinking about it, she knew that in her previous life, her daughter must have been very lonely, hence the self-talk!

"Bad news, the granary is on fire!" Suddenly, a shout rang out.

Outside, chaos erupted, with shouts and running everywhere.

Baby Ruo Xi opened her eyes and saw a figure drop from the roof.

"Whoosh!" Without a word, Xiaoyue raised her hand and immediately subdued the intruder.

"Hmph, in such cold weather, opening a skylight above us—do you think we wouldn’t know of your existence?" Xiaoyue felt somewhat speechless, "What kind of person would send such a foolish assassin?"

The assassin, feeling humiliated, thought it was even more unbearable than being killed.

"Hmph, Princess Royal, even if I can't kill you today, you will still die eventually!" The assassin said, gritted his teeth, and swallowed the poison.

"Princess, what should we do with him?" asked Nurse Jin.

"Throw him out; it's quite chaotic outside, isn't it?" Xiaoyue said coolly.

‘Mom is so smart, but this big hole in the roof will let snowflakes in, and it will be very cold!’ Ruo Xi looked at the hole in the roof, thinking helplessly.

This assassin is a bit stupid.

And he’s a suicide warrior!

How could someone like this become a suicide warrior?

Nurse Jin grabbed the assassin's clothes, opened the door, and threw him out like trash.

‘What’s happening outside? Mom doesn’t seem worried at all. It looks like Uncle must have made arrangements long ago. I slept through something important?’ Ruo Xi blinked her big eyes, curious.

Xiaoyue smiled helplessly, picked up her daughter, and fed her milk, saying, "With all the commotion outside, we’ll go take a look later."
