Just as she was lost in her thoughts, two palace servants had already come in and respectfully helped her change and wash up. When they saw her face, these two fourteen or fifteen-year-old handsome youths could not help but look at her in a daze. They only came back to their senses after she coughed lightly. She could not help but blush again.
"S-sorry, I was rude just now. Princess, please punish me!”The two of them knelt down and begged for mercy.
Xue Xi smiled and said lightly,"It's fine. Get up and speak, bengong still has to pay respects to imperial grandfather, do you have enough time?”
When the two heard this, they quickly got up and served her. They were skilled and soon dressed Xuexi up to be extremely beautiful. Although during this time, they not only blushed many times, but also lost the comb twice and the pearl hairpin four times because they peeked at her.
"Princess, you're so beautiful!" The young man said in a daze after he inserted the last little pearl flower into Xue Xi's mouth.
Xuexi walked out of the Sunny Fragrance Residence where she lived. There was actually a small courtyard outside. Clear water flowed through the courtyard, and all kinds of unknown trees and flowers emitted a strong vitality and vigorous strength in the early morning of early summer. They were growing crazily. After leaving the small courtyard, the three bold words " Shen Fang Ju " hung high above the door, giving off a gentle and elegant atmosphere. Continuing forward, they bypassed a few corridors and fake mountains before arriving at the Frost Rain Hall, where Ling Shuang slept.
Before the servant could report, Ling Shuang had already come out to welcome him. She gave Xue Xi a long hug.
"Grandpa…"
Ling Shuang slowly let go of her. Her heart was filled with reluctance, but her eyes were still fixed on her granddaughter who seemed to have descended from the sky. She had a thousand words to say, but she did not know where to start.
"Does grandfather miss the Eldest Princess?”Xue Xi blinked and asked.
"She is your mother. Xuexi, you haven't been by your mother's side since you were young, and you haven't been by your grandparents 'side either. You must have suffered a lot, right? " The injuries on your body…" Ling Shuang said as tears covered her face. Thinking of the dense scars on her back and arms, her tears were like pearls that were cut off, unable to be stopped. "Remember to apply this medicine on the wound. It won't take long for the scar to disappear. Xiaosi, remember to apply it to your princess every day.”
The youth called Xiaosi took the bottle and carefully put it in his pocket, his face flushed red again. He still remembered that when he was combing the princess's hair in the morning, he inadvertently glanced at her fair neck and felt a burst of heat and joy in his heart. This was the devastatingly beautiful Princess Anping!

"It's fine. They're all old injuries. Grandpa, how did mother pass away?”Xue Xi asked as she walked with Ling Shuang.
This question made Ling Shuang sad again. He said in a low voice,"If it were anyone else, they would never dare to ask this question. Today, you asked…Sigh, you have the right to know that she was poisoned to death.”
"I'm sorry to have made Grandpa sad again. Since that's the case, has the murderer been executed?”
"Murderer? Executed?" Ling Shuang nodded and shook her head. She wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, she sighed.
"Xuexi will find the murderer and let him have the ending he deserves. Grandpa, don't be sad!”
Ling Shuang gently stroked her hair and looked at her kindly.""Grandpa just wants to see you safe and sound, Xuexi, and not be hurt at all. We already owe you too much! Xuexi, don't worry about anything else. In the future, I will protect you as long as you are safe and sound.”
Xuexi was touched. This was a father who had lost his daughter. He was a middle-aged man who was in extreme grief. However, she was not his granddaughter. She was an impersonator. If he found out one day, how big a blow would it be? Could he still take it? I'm sorry, Ling Shuang. I'm not Xue Xi. My real name is Xue Lin, and I'm not from this world...
"Xuexi, can grandpa show you around?”Ling Shuang's words immediately stopped Xue Xi's chaotic thoughts. She came back to her senses and smiled, replying gently,"Alright."
"We have to come out more often, or else we'll get lost easily in the future. Let's go to the imperial garden to take a look.”
"Sure," Xuexi smiled like a flower, obediently holding Ling Shuang's arm as they enjoyed the beautiful scenery, occasionally expressing heartfelt admiration and admiration.
Seeing her so happy, Ling Shuang also revealed a comfortable smile. The pedestrians along the way were even more surprised when they saw this scene. Why did the scene of the noble emperor's husband and the beautiful Princess Anping make people feel warm in their hearts?
The two of them were a little tired after playing for a day, so they rested in a pavilion. They drank tea while looking at the lotus flowers in the pool. The newly hatched lotus leaves were still small and light in color. Some were still curled up, while some were as green as a plate and floating on the water surface. Under the cluster of many green round lids, pink and white lotus flowers were hidden among them. When the breeze blew, they looked outstanding, faintly discernible, and fragrant…
"It's so beautiful! It was really a small lotus that had just revealed its sharp tip, and there was already a dragonfly standing on it.”Xue Xi blurted out.
Ling Shuang had a look of surprise and admiration on her face. What a good little lotus! Xuexi, I didn't expect you to be so talented. Did your father teach you all this?”
Xue Xi nodded unnaturally. This was taught by her teacher. As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life. It wasn't too far-fetched to say that he was a father, right?
" I didn't expect your father to be such a talented person. He is worthy of Yun Xi. It's a pity that back then…" If they hadn't separated, would Yun Xi still be alive? Although she had lost the throne, she could still travel the mountains and rivers with the man she liked. It was better than being here, scheming and scheming at every step…
Just as he was thinking, he realized that Xue Xi had already disappeared. He looked around and his nervous expression finally relaxed. She was standing on the shore, wanting to pluck the blooming white lotus not far away!
Ling Shuang smiled, and her uneasiness and gloominess were swept away. However, just as she relaxed, a black shadow descended from the sky and landed beside Xue Xi. In the next moment, a silver sword was already placed on her snow-white neck.

"Xuexi!"
"Princess Anping!"
"Let her go!"
"Assassins!"
A clamor sounded at the same time. Everyone looked at the assassin in panic, afraid that he would accidentally kill this peerless beauty.
The assassin did not look like an assassin. Although he was dressed in black, he did not cover his face. He had a well-defined face and looked to be around 23 or 24 years old. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and his domineering hands were tightly gripping her shoulders.
"Let her go!" Ling Shuang scolded, the anxiety and uneasiness in her eyes gradually deepening.
The guards who had heard the news also surrounded them, waiting for the right time to pounce on them and annihilate them. "Let go of Princess Anping! Otherwise, I will make you die without a burial place!”The guard captain shouted.
The man sneered, and the hand that grabbed Xue Xi's shoulder changed to her slender neck. Looking down at her beautiful face, he could not help but hold his breath. Beauty, she was indeed a peerless beauty. Who would have thought that there would be such a beautiful woman in the Feng Nation! Moreover, she was a princess with an illustrious status! With just a brief glimpse, he could not take his eyes off her. But he quickly calmed down, leaned over slightly, and put his mouth close to Xue Xi's ear.""You are Princess Anping? Your name is Xue Xi? Alright, I'll remember it. We'll meet again soon!”
"Who…who are you?" Although Xuexi was panicking, she was a princess at the moment, and a princess who was being held hostage. Therefore, she could not lose her status and the dignity of the royal family.
The corners of the man's mouth curled up into a beautiful arc as he blew into her ear in an extremely ambiguous manner."I told you that we will meet again. You will know soon, Xuexi.”
After saying that, he smiled contemptuously and said to the guards who were eyeing him covetously,"You think you can stop me? Moreover, I still have your princess in my hands. Put down the arrow first. It won't be good if I accidentally kill your princess!”
This…the guards did not dare to make a decision. Everyone looked at each other, hesitating.
"Put it down, put it down!" Ling Shuang couldn't hold it in any longer. She ordered the guards and then loudly said to the assassin," As long as you don't hurt her, you can ask for anything! Please…put her down first…"
A smile appeared on the man's face. He put his sword away and wrapped his arm around her waist. He practically carried Xue Xi all the way to the corner of the wall. Xue Xi only felt something licking her earlobe. It was wet, hot, and soft...
He actually dared to…kiss her? And he even kissed her in broad daylight in front of so many people? Truly unforgivable!
" You..." She was about to curse when she realized that the man who had been holding her hostage had disappeared. She could vaguely see the corner of a shirt on the wall and disappeared in an instant.
Everyone reacted and quickly surrounded Xue Xi.
"Chase!" Xue Xi angrily raised her hand and waved it in the air, her chest heaving up and down violently." I will reward the person who catches the assassin alive!”
Xue Lin's crisis attracted the visits of Xue Yao and the concubines in the harem. She handled it carefully and said a lot of words of gratitude. After everyone dispersed, she was comfortably soaking herself in the bath and quietly thinking about her next move.
