Chapter 351 Attacked
When this happened, Qi Xingyun immediately arranged for someone to send the eldest prince and the little princess back to the palace.
The frightened little princess cried for a while in Qi Xingyun's arms, and when she saw Xiao Cao'er, she turned into Xiao Cao'er's arms.
The twelve-year-old Xiao Cao'er had a hard time holding the five-year-old princess, and Qi Xingyun reached out to take her away, but the little princess hugged Xiao Cao'er's neck tightly and refused to let go.
"It's okay, Brother Xingyun, the young lady must be scared. I'll hold her." Xiao Cao'er held the little princess and patted her back while speaking to Qi Xingyun.
The eldest prince was also frightened, but he was a man and his father had taught him to stay calm when faced with difficulties, so he quickly calmed down and was no longer afraid.
But Old Lady Yang believed that he would be, so she also kept hugging him, patting his back and saying, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay."
In fact, Old Lady Yang was more frightened than them. The villain's knife was right in front of her eyes. Fortunately, Yun Er acted quickly, otherwise there would have been blood.
Qi Xingyun arranged for someone to send Old Lady Yang back to the palace, while he and Xiao Caoer sent the prince and princess back to the palace.
Originally, Xiao Cao'er didn't need to go to the palace, but the little princess held her and refused to let go and even fell asleep, so there was no choice but to carry her into the carriage.
When they got to the carriage, Xiao Cao held the little princess tightly in her arms, looking a little overwhelmed. Although she tried her best to get on the carriage, she failed to get on after several attempts because of the heavy weight of the little princess in her arms and her petite figure.
Qi Xingyun, who was standing by, saw this scene and strode forward without hesitation. He stretched out his strong arms, picked up Xiao Cao'er and the little princess, and carefully put them into the spacious and comfortable carriage.
The moment Qi Xingyun suddenly hugged her, Xiao Cao'er's heart trembled, and she was distracted for a moment. However, she soon realized that this was not the time to think about random things, so she quickly came to her senses and focused on taking care of the little princess who was still sleeping in her arms.
At the same time, the palace had already learned that the eldest prince and princess had been attacked outside the palace. The emperor was extremely worried and immediately sent a large number of guards to wait at the palace gate. Once the carriage arrived, it would drive directly into the palace without reporting and rush to the queen's bedroom.
After a while, the carriage finally stopped steadily in front of the Queen's bedroom. The little princess in the carriage, even though she was asleep, still held Xiao Cao'er's neck tightly with her little hands and refused to let go.
Seeing this, Qi Xingyun gently bent down and got into the carriage, and once again gently carried Xiao Cao'er and the little princess down from the carriage.
When the Queen and the others saw this, they all hurried forward. Some hurriedly grabbed the eldest prince and asked about the situation with concern; others tried to reach out to pull the little princess, but found that they could not pry her little hand away from Xiao Cao'er.
"Don't worry, let's go in quickly and call the imperial physician over to give them a thorough check-up!" Qi Xingyun said calmly, and then led everyone into the bedroom.
A kind-faced, slightly old lady came hurriedly over. She bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, Prince Yun, the imperial doctors have been waiting here for a long time." After that, she signaled with her eyes to several imperial doctors in official uniforms with serious expressions who were standing not far away.
Upon hearing this, the retired emperor frowned slightly, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and he quickly waved his hand and urged: "What are you waiting for? Let them in quickly! There is no time to waste!" As he spoke, he personally took a few steps forward and led everyone into the house.
While anxiously waiting for the imperial physician to give the eldest prince and the princess a physical examination, the retired emperor, the emperor, and Qi Xingyun sat upright in a side hall.
The retired emperor frowned and was the first to break the silence: "What exactly happened? Why did he encounter such an assassination?" His voice was full of majesty and urgency.
Qi Xingyun replied solemnly: "This incident happened suddenly and caught everyone off guard. At that time, Xuan'er and Xiaocao'er went to the toilet in the backyard, while Heng'er was in the lobby. When the backyard was in chaos, some lawless people took advantage of the chaos and tried to snatch Heng'er away." Then, Qi Xingyun reported the entire incident in detail to the emperor and the retired emperor.
After listening to Qi Xingyun's narration, the emperor couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that it is really thanks to Xiaocao and Old Lady Yang! If they hadn't stepped forward, I'm afraid Heng'er and Xuan'er would have suffered."
The emperor also nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Have those assassins been captured? Have you gotten any useful clues from them?"
Qi Xingyun shook his head and responded: "The assassin was caught on the spot, and Yun Yi and others went to interrogate him, but no news has been received yet."
