Chapter 170 Who is it?
Su Qianqian took a deep breath and nodded to Long with a smile.
The three little ones also stood up, their eyes firm and confident.
Following Long Yi's order, the three children demonstrated the results of their practice. Their movements were vigorous and powerful, and they coordinated well, which drew cheers from the surrounding guards, palace maids, and eunuchs.
Long Yi was very satisfied with their performance. He thought that if it weren't for the age limit, they would have performed better.
When the three of them finally finished the whole set of kung fu, Su Qianqian took the lead in applauding.
Long Yi walked up to Su Qianqian, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the three young masters have made rapid progress. I admire them. You can increase the difficulty next."
Su Qianqian smiled and helped him up, saying, "This is all thanks to your good teaching as a master. From now on, I will need you to take care of me."
Long Yi quickly responded, "I will do my best to live up to the trust of the Imperial Concubine."
"In this case, I am relieved." Su Qianqian looked at the three little ones, her eyes full of love, "You three come here."
Hearing this, the three little ones quickly came to her side and looked up at her.
"You all performed very well today, and your mother is very pleased. You must continue to work hard in the future, okay?" Su Qianqian touched their heads gently.
"I understand, sons!" the three answered in unison.
"Okay, let's all go and have a rest." Su Qianqian waved her hand, and the three little ones left happily.
After the three little ones left, Su Qianqian turned to Long Yi and said, "This time, I have something else to entrust to you."
"Please give your orders, Imperial Concubine. I will do my best to obey you even if it means death!" Long Yi said with a fist clasped.
"I hope you can protect the three little princes secretly." Su Qianqian said with a serious look.
"Three little princes?" Long Yi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Su Qianqian to entrust him with such a task.
Because he knew that Zhishu, Zhihua and Zhiqi were not only their personal maids, but also their secret guards.
"Yes." Su Qianqian nodded. "Recently, I always feel that someone is watching the three of them, but I can't find any clues. So, I can only ask you for help."
"I obey your command!" Long Yi accepted the order and said, "But I dare to ask, have you told the emperor about this matter?"
"I haven't told him yet. There are a lot of things going on in the court recently, and he is busy, so I won't bother him." Su Qianqian said slowly, "So I still have to trouble you with this matter."
"Yes!" Long Yi felt touched. He knew that Su Qianqian completely trusted him.
"Also..." Su Qianqian hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Don't tell anyone about this for now, including the emperor."
"I understand." Long Yi nodded seriously. He knew the seriousness of the matter, so it must not be leaked out.
"If you encounter danger, you must prioritize the safety of the little princes." Su Qianqian warned.
"I will protect the little princes with my life." Long Yi said firmly.
"Well, I feel a lot more at ease with you around." Su Qianqian smiled.
Long Yi looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late. I'll take my leave now."
Su Qianqian nodded and said, "Go ahead, be careful."
Looking at Long Yi's departing back, Su Qianqian prayed silently in her heart, hoping that everything would be safe and sound.
Although Su Qianqian couldn't confirm who the pair of eyes hiding in the dark were, she believed in her intuition that the person's target was her three little babies.
After nightfall, everything is quiet.
Su Qianqian and Chu Junze, with the three little ones, still stayed in the space.
She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep tonight until she nestled in Chu Junze's arms, listening to the familiar heartbeat, and then she slowly fell asleep.
Suddenly, Su Qianqian heard an extremely subtle sound, which was so subtle that if it weren't for her keen senses, she would not have noticed anything unusual.
She immediately became alert, and Chu Junze opened his eyes with the same vigilance. After the two looked at each other tacitly, neither of them said a word, but stared quietly at the closed door to see what the man in black wanted to do.
After a while, the black shadow flashed past the window and then disappeared into the endless darkness in an instant.
Su Qianqian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in her heart.
She clearly felt that the man was nearby and had bad intentions. Chu Junze jumped out of bed quickly, put on his clothes, picked up his sword, and was ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
Su Qianqian's heart beat faster. She felt that the person was nearby and had bad intentions.
Chu Junze jumped off the bed swiftly, then took out his sword, ready to deal with possible danger at any time.
At the same time, Su Qianqian was also nervously thinking about how to protect the safety of herself and her children.
Her eyes scanned the room, searching for any weapon or defensive tool she could use.
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and a dark shadow sneaked in, holding a gleaming dagger in his hand.
Fortunately, the two of them have been staying in the space, so the man in black is destined to be in vain tonight.
However, the sudden invasion of the man in black caused Su Qianqian and Chu Junze to instantly enter defense mode, forgetting that they were actually in a space that was absolutely safe.
The two of them suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but smile at each other, feeling really stupid.
Thinking of this, they both relaxed instantly and put away the swords in their hands.
However, their laughter stopped abruptly because they realized a serious problem at the same time - this man in black was quite skilled in martial arts!
Otherwise, those secret guards outside would not have failed to discover him!
A chill instantly crept up their spines, and the smiles disappeared from their faces. Su Qianqian and Chu Junze looked at each other, with the same confusion flashing in their eyes.
"It seems that we must find out the identity and purpose of this man in black." Chu Junze said in a low voice.
Su Qianqian nodded in agreement. They decided not to leave the space for the time being, but to closely observe the movements outside and wait for the right time to investigate.
Time passed by, and the air was filled with tension. Finally, there was a slight noise outside the door, as if someone was leaving.
Chu Junze carefully opened the door a crack and looked out. Only after confirming that the surroundings were safe did they walk out of the space.
He made a gesture to the secret guards hiding in the darkness, and seeing this, Long Yi flew over quickly.
Chu Junze quickly recounted what had just happened. After hearing it, Long Yi was also very shocked, because they had been guarding outside and had not noticed that someone had sneaked into the emperor's bedroom!
After a brief moment of shock, Long Yi quickly knelt down and said, "I am incompetent, please punish me, Your Majesty!"
"Get up, it's not your fault. The black-clothed man's skills should not be underestimated. Otherwise, I would have taken action myself just now!"
