Your Majesty, the General has long had deep-rooted love for you

Chapter 14 Assassin
"Empress mother, then I will keep this Dongxia Zhuerchen!" Su Jiu smiled, "I have always heard people say that the young lady of Situ's family is a famous calligrapher in Beijing, but if she marries father and queen, she will have manuscripts." It is rumored in the market that your daughter is starting a business for the first time, and the queen mother, please help write a plaque!"

"You ghost girl!" The empress ordered Madam Li to serve the pen and ink. The three big characters of "Charity Hall" in the elegant and majestic manner, faintly showed the royal demeanor and the empress' compassion for all living beings.

"Mother, your calligraphy should only be found in the sky. It's rare to hear it in the world!" Su Jiu took the paper contentedly, and ordered Baoqin to take it well.

"Your Majesty, Fourth Prince, please see me!" said the maid outside the door.

I haven't seen him for a few days, Su Dang's whole body is much more energetic, and there is more baby fat on his cheeks at this age. It can be seen that he is living well with the queen.

"Emperor Sister!" Su Dang saluted respectfully, the little person looked like an adult.

"Come here!" Su Jiu waved at him, "You're still used to being here with your mother! I heard that your mother asked you to study in the Shang's study the day before yesterday!"

Su Dang nodded, "Thanks to the care of the queen mother and sister Huang, Dang'er must study hard, and protect the queen mother, sister Huang, and the little brother in the queen mother's stomach in the future!"

Seeing Su Dang's serious and earnest appearance, Su Jiu and the Queen laughed out loud, and Su Jiu took Su Dang's hand even more, "Listening to what you said, Miss Huang is very pleased, but learning is for yourself, and so is fate." It's in your own hands, don't be too impatient."

The Qilin Guard under Su Jiu had been sent to Fengqi Palace a long time ago. Su Jiu also knew how hardworking she, the Fourth Emperor's younger brother, was. She was a year late in the Shang Study Room, but she studied hard every day, and even had meals. Do not put down the book.

Su Jiu had no doubts that if Su Dang persisted, he might really be able to come back with a champion when he grew up.

"Su Dang remembers the teachings of the imperial sister!" Su Dang bowed deeply to Su Jiu, and then took out a small cloth bag from his arms, "Sister Huang, I heard from the people in the palace that the emperor asked you to do charity. Xiaotang, I don’t have any money at all, but I saved up the money, hoping to contribute to the Salesian Church.”

Su Dang's small cloth bag looked old, and even some places had been washed white.There are all kinds of broken silver and copper coins in the cloth bag, and it looks like it has been saved for a long time.

Su Jiu put away the cloth bag, and put it back into Su Dang's arms, "Fourth emperor brother, I understand your intentions, but you are still young. These salaries are what you need on a daily basis. When you grow up , I am considering donating to the Salesian Church after making contributions, okay?"

"Does Huangjie feel that the money is too little?" Su Dang's eyes flickered with disappointment.

"No!" Su Jiu rubbed Su Dang's head, "How about this! Sister Huang took a copper coin, it's your wish, when you grow up, donate to the charity hall, okay!"

With that said, Su Jiu pulled out a copper plate and handed it to the piano behind him.

"Yeah! Dang'er, listen to your imperial sister!" The queen said to smooth things over, "When you grow up, you want to donate your mansion. Your imperial sister will be very happy."

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the donation meeting.

The dignitaries who had received the invitation arrived at the Princess Mansion as scheduled.

While entertaining the guests, Su Jiu ordered Qilin Wei to make preparations.

In the garden, the sound of orchestral strings and bamboo wafted into his ears, and Su Jiu was in an unusually good mood.

"Ninth Sister!" Today, Su Qing came in wearing a lotus root pink gown, and walked in radiantly, without any sign of the frustration of being grounded a few days ago.

Su Jiu nodded politely, "The banquet is about to start, Sixth Sister goes in and sits!"

Su Qing concealed the unhappiness in her eyes and nodded.

But it didn't take long before I heard someone shouting from the women's family, "Killed! Killed!"

Su Jiu frowned, looking at Qingfeng who had been following her.Qingfeng got the order and hurriedly flew towards the place where the accident happened.

God knows how much Su Jiu attaches importance to this donation meeting.Not only did Qilin Guards be sent to guard in the dark, but part of the Imperial Forest Army was transferred to Liang Xiao.

When Su Jiu arrived, Liang Xiao had already arrested the villain.The frightened female relatives looked terrified.

"What happened?" Su Jiu asked

"He...he wants to kill me!" The wounded woman was General Zuo's prostitute, and the wound on her right shoulder was still bleeding.

"Help Miss Zuo to rest in the back hall first!" Su Jiu quickly ordered Baoqin.

"Ninth Sister, what do you mean? We were assassinated the moment we arrived at the Princess Mansion." Su Qing started to provoke.

"Everyone, it's my hall that didn't take good care of me. This hall will definitely give you an explanation!" Su Jiu was too lazy to argue with Su Qing. Before the donation meeting started, Su Jiu walked up to the assassin and pulled down his black mask to cover his face. Scarf "Why did you assassinate General Zuo's beloved daughter?"

"Ninth Princess, didn't you ask me to assassinate her?" The assassin seemed to have realized that Su Jiu was going to say this, and he opened his mouth to lie. "You said this donation would be a good opportunity. Wearing the same clothes as you, she deserves to die!"

Hearing the assassin's words, the people around immediately whispered, "It can't really be the Ninth Princess!"

"Why is Ninth Princess so courageous?"

"That's right, you don't know your heart when you know people!"

Su Jiu looked at the slightly evasive faces of the people around him, and didn't speak up immediately to defend himself.

It was Liang Xiao who caught the assassin and kicked him to the ground, "Who told you to talk nonsense."

"The subordinate did not do his job well and did not kill Miss Zuo. Please, Her Royal Highness, for the sake of my subordinate's dedication to duty, please don't embarrass my 80-year-old mother."

After the assassin said this, he immediately wanted to crush the poison hidden in his teeth.

Su Jiu's eyes were quick and her hands quickly took three steps forward in two steps, and directly removed the opponent's jaw, "Die now. It's too cheap for you!"

Zuo Qingtang, the daughter of the Zuo family, bandaged the wound, and did not stay in the back hall to rest, but returned to the hall with a pale face.

Without a moment's hesitation, Zuo Qingtang slapped the assassin on the face, "What are you, how dare you frame the Ninth Princess!"

Now, in surprise, it was replaced by Su Jiu.

Is this girl... so fierce?

"Princess Nine, the donation meeting will start right away, don't worry about this assassin, just hand him over to the guards of the Zuo family outside the door!"

Su Jiu concealed the surprise in his heart, nodded quickly, and whispered to Zuo Qingtang, "Thank you!"

The originally noisy banquet hall had different expressions at this moment. Su Qing's hand next to the table almost broke the table, thinking to herself: What kind of assassin did the queen mother find? She is really stupid!
In this donation meeting, apart from those dignitaries in Beijing, there are also some wealthy businessmen with great wealth.

In Dayan, agriculture is more important than business, but if the business is good enough, it is impossible not to be respected.
