Chapter 41
Veins appeared on the assassin's forehead, he gritted his teeth, and swiped at Su Tian with his sword with all his might.

Su Tian sneered, and slammed her knee against the weak abdomen of the assassin. Taking advantage of the pain of the assassin, Su Tian grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard.

With a bang, the sword fell to the ground.

Su Tian had no more scruples, her slender legs clamped the assassin's waist, her right elbow was tightened and twisted, and the assassin's neck was snapped.

A guard's voice came from outside: "Your Highness!"

"The movement is so slow, wait for you to come and collect the corpse!" Su Tian shouted: "The assassins have already run far away, why don't you go after them!"

Someone shot cold arrows outside, and someone broke into the room. It must be a wave of assassins. Only one died now, and the rest must have escaped.

Su Tian's series of movements were coherent and neat, without any hesitation.

It was just that when she heard the "click" of her neck being twisted, she suddenly lost strength and fell down beside the corpse.

A guard came in to clean up the corpse and Su Tian didn't even raise her eyelids.

She killed someone with her own hands!

Suddenly, a hand passed through the bend of her knee, and with a little force, he hugged her horizontally.

Su Tian wrapped her arms around his neck and hung her head silently.

Quan Jue lowered his head and kissed her hair gently: "Okay, don't be afraid."

Su Tian hugged Quan Fen even tighter, and the warm body temperature of Quan Fen gradually melted away the coagulated blood all over her body, making her stiff body gradually soften again.

Su Tian buried her head in Quan Juan's chest, tears fell silently from the corners of her eyes, soaking into Quan Juan's collar.

"Well done." Quan Jue bent down and put her on the bed, touched her little head: "If it's not him dead, then you are dead."

Su Tian burst into tears.

Quan Juan's words simply added fuel to the fire, arousing all the fear in Su Tian's heart.

She killed.

She killed again.

Quan Jue didn't coax her, but just raised his hand to put her in his arms: "Cry, it's good to cry all the time."

Su Tian hid in Quan Juan's arms, deceiving herself that others couldn't see her, so she cried even more happily, shrugging her shoulders.

She was really scared, and hid in Quan Yu's arms, and fell asleep when she was tired from crying.

Quan Jue got up and put Su Tian horizontally on the bed, and covered her with a thin blanket.

Su Tian snorted softly and curled up under the thin blanket.

Quan Juan put on his outer robe and quietly went out of Chongren Hall. After a while, he quietly returned to Chongren Hall.

He took off his coat and put it on the wood, took off the soap locust boots on his feet, gently lifted the curtain and got on the bed, and embraced the person curled up in the bed.

Su Tian breathed evenly, obviously still asleep, but Quan Juan was awake all the time, with a pair of bottomless peach blossom eyes, and slender palms gently patted Su Tian's back.

No one could see what he was thinking.

The guards chased the assassin for a long distance but did not catch the assassin. They only picked up a bow and crossbow left by the assassin. The ordinary ones cannot be ordinary. King Qianqiu was furious. Thirty boards were played firmly.

A few days later, He Qing came back from Jinshui Village, and at the same time brought back good news.

The illness of the villagers in Jinshui Village was not a highly contagious disease, but an extremely rare Gu poison.

There is a small reservoir in the back mountain of Jinshui Village. In summer, farmers are greedy for coolness. Sometimes they jump down to take a bath together after working all over the sweat. As a result, they are bitten by a rare poisonous insect in the water.

All the people who got sick had been in the reservoir.

As for what kind of poisonous insect it was, the imperial physician did not find out.

Tao Yuanpan, who is currently dispatched, has suppressed the illness of the villagers and is actively prescribing medicine to eradicate the root cause.

Su Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and then she was able to care about another important matter.

The first day of August is her birthday, and this is her first birthday after she got married. The Ministry of Rites directly handles half of the state affairs, so she doesn't have to worry about it herself. She will invite all the dignitaries who should be invited. All unmarried sons of the right age have received invitations.

To put it bluntly, it was a blind date in disguise.

Su Tian was kept in the dark the whole time, and she didn't see the way until the day of the birthday party.

The birthday banquet was held in the Imperial Garden, and it was now summer, the flowers and plants were in full bloom, and they were blooming very well. The palace staff had already erected the canopy in the Imperial Garden, but it was not too hot.

Su Tian went with Quan Yu, both of them changed into formal clothes, when they went, there were already many people sitting or standing in the imperial garden, chatting and laughing in small groups.

Seeing the Lord coming in, the people in the imperial garden silenced one after another, retreated to the sides consciously, and bowed their heads in greeting.

"Today is a private banquet, so you don't need to be too polite. It's just a birthday, please come and sit down." Su Tian wore a red palace dress, which set off her serious face, but added a bit of beauty .

The Qianqiu King and Queen arrived last, and after simply greeting everyone, they left with the Queen, saying that they were getting old and leaving the venue to their young people.

Yes, young man.

It was only now that Su Tian found out that no matter who she had seen or not, all the people sitting in the audience were young sons and daughters, not even an old man.

She sat in the main seat with Quan Yu, and Dong Zhi reminded her: "Your Highness, on the left side are envoys from various countries, and on the right side are Qianqiu's grandson and minister's daughter."

"Understood." Su Tian held the wine cup and looked at Quan Juan: "I heard that Beiming also came? Are you going to talk to them?"

"No need."

"Well, forget it then."

The whole banquet was full of singing and dancing, and it was very lively.

Su Tian picked up a glass of wine, stood up, and raised her arms to all the guests, "Today is my birthday party, please come and celebrate my birthday, I would like to offer you a glass here, I wish you all a happy return today!"

"Your Highness." Everyone responded.

Su Tian drank the fruit wine in the glass, turned the wine cup to the audience, and sat down again.

"Your Highness is good at drinking."

"Where is it?" If it hadn't been tampered with, how would she dare to drink like this.

After some politeness, Su Tian stopped looking at the various young men below, and didn't look at those enchanting dancers. Instead, she lowered her head and tugged Quan Juan's clothes under the table. Gift: "What about my birthday gift?"

That day, what she wanted to say was that her birthday was approaching, but she was interrupted by the assassin's cold arrow. In the next few days, she was busy tracking down the assassin and dealing with the follow-up of the Jinshui Village incident. But her birthday has been spread in and out of the palace for a long time, Quan Yu must know, at least there are gifts.

"Birthday gift?" Quan Juan shook his head calmly: "No."

Su Tian wrinkled her small face and asked anxiously, "Why not?"

"Why else? Too busy."

Su Tian's heart suddenly felt cold.
