Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned cold. She took out the dagger at her waist and shot it at the poisonous snake!
The tip of the knife nailed the poisonous snake to the ground, together with the hem of the Grand Empress Dowager’s dress.
The sudden sound and pull shocked the Grand Empress Dowager. She turned to look at her skirt and trembled in fear!
She gasped and gave a low cry.
Not far away, the palace servant who was picking peach blossoms hurriedly turned around and walked over.
When they saw the poisonous snake nailed to the Grand Empress Dowager’s skirt, they screamed in fear. “Protect! Protect!”
“Protect the Empress Dowager!”
The few of them shouted for protection, but they were helpless against a poisonous snake. They were flustered and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Su Xiaoxiao walked over calmly.
“Who is it?!” a eunuch asked sternly.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him and came to the Grand Empress Dowager.
The eunuch took out a small peach from the flower basket and pointed at Su Xiaoxiao fiercely. “Move aside!”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the intimidating little peach fruit and shook her head. She squatted down, took out her dagger, and grabbed the poisonous snake.
“Can I borrow a medicine bottle?” She tilted her head and asked.
The Grand Empress Dowager looked at her in a daze and nodded.
Seeing that his master had agreed, the eunuch took out an empty bottle.
He handed it to Su Xiaoxiao carefully.
“Is… is it dead?” he stammered.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the snake in her hand and said, “Oh, no, he’s still breathing.”
“Aiya!” The eunuch jumped back in shock.
Su Xiaoxiao killed the poisonous snake and took out its gallbladder to put into the medicine bottle.
The entire process was smooth and unchanging, leaving the palace servants dumbfounded.
“Who… who are you?”
The eunuch who was so frightened just now came back to his senses and mustered his courage to ask Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, I’m a student at the palace academy. I just had lunch with Princess Jingning in the pavilion over there.”
By explaining her identity and the reason for entering the harem, she could save unnecessary trouble to a large extent.
When he heard that she was with Princess Jingning, he did not suspect that she had released the snake just now. Or rather, even if he was suspicious, it was not good for him to detain her and interrogate her.
Su Xiaoxiao handed the snake’s carcass forward. “Snake meat is very nourishing. Do you want it?”
The palace servants shook their heads like dice!
The Empress Dowager also shook her head.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Then I’ll take it away.”
The palace servants nodded like chickens pecking at rice. Hurry up and take it away!
Su Xiaoxiao took two steps and paused. She tilted her head and asked the Grand Empress Dowager, “It’s also a piece of physical evidence. Are you sure you don’t want it?”
The Grand Empress Dowager understood what she was referring to and shook her head slightly again. “No need. There’s a lot of grass here. It’s damp and dense. It’s not strange for there to be poisonous snakes.”
Su Xiaoxiao felt that it was quite strange because the poisonous snake had gone straight for the Grand Empress Dowager.
“Take it away.” The Grand Empress Dowager said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Thank you for today. What’s your name?”
“Su Xiaoxiao.”
Su Xiaoxiao accidentally said her real name.
It was all the Grand Empress Dowager’s fault for looking too similar to Madam Li, making her forget her current identity for a moment.
“My official name is Su Daya,” she added.
The corners of the palace servants’ mouths twitched. Her family was really willful when it came to naming.
Su Xiaoxiao left.
She turned around and looked at the Grand Empress Dowager, who was surrounded by the palace servants.
Her expression was filled with faint sadness and loneliness.
She suddenly felt that the Grand Empress Dowager was quite pitiful.
In the afternoon, there was a riding and archery class.
After the accident the day before, many guards and experts were sent over. The students were no longer allowed to choose their horses. Instead, they were allocated; there was no exception made for the two princesses.
In addition, because the previous teacher had been removed by Xiao Zhonghua, everyone was guessing who the teacher would be this time.
When the new teacher rode to the horse farm, everyone present was dumbfounded.
The man was dressed in dark blue clothes. He had a cold expression and a tall figure. He had an imposing appearance and a devastatingly beautiful face. There was a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows.
Who else could it be but Wei Ting?
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Eh?”
Princess Hui An and Princess Lingxi could not take their eyes off him.
The two of them were extremely excited.
“Brother Ting!”
Princess Hui An mounted her horse and immediately galloped toward Wei Ting.
Not to be outdone, Princess Lingxi raised her whip and chased after him..
