A fight with assassins

She went to a shop bought them dumplings and gave it to them. She sat beside them and said," Eat them." Yizhen asked them, "What are your names?"

The elder one was a boy around nine years old. The younger one was a girl around seven years. Boy answered her saying," I am jingyi and my sister jingtian."

she said, "Nice names, tell me where you stay, I will take you to your parents." Jingyi said, "My parents passed away." Yizhen asked him," Then where do you stay?"

Jingyi said, " In Temple." These kids how can they take care of themselves. Yizhen said, "Will you both stay with me, I will provide you with food and buy new clothes and I will look after you both."

Jingyi thought for a while and said, "Yes." Yizhen took them home and ordered housekeeper wen to purchase them new clothes. Wen immediately left to purchase.

Yizhen said, "Mingyue, bring hot water for their bath." she took the kids to orange courtyard and said," From now onwards this room is for you both.

You can stay here. She pointed with her finger and showed her courtyard, "If you want anything. You can ask me. I will stay in this courtyard"

Wen said, "Young master, I have bought the clothes." Yizhen gave it to them. She said, "you take a bath and sleep." He hugged her and cried. Yizhen patted on his shoulder and said," Don't cry" He said, "thank you brother" Then she left to her room.

As she is feeling bored she sat on her courtyard roof. Yichang and Yan came home. They both sat with her and discussed with all that had happened at the inn and army.

Yichang asked her," I heard you have bought two kids to home." She nodded her head. Yizhen said, "Brother, after fifteen days I am heading towards black beast auction hall. Please take care of these children for me."

Yichang said, "Can you go alone? Do you want me or Yan to accompany you" she said, "No need brother...I can go alone."

she walks on the roof and acts as if she was tripped...by shouting "brother..." They both rushed to hold her. However, she landed safely on the ground.

Both asked her, "did you got hurt?" Yizhen said, "brother I just acted. Did you forget that I know martial arts? I just want to tease you both because you both scared me last time" They both frowned. Yizhen said," ok...I am sorry I won't fool you again like this."

Yichang said, "you are becoming naughty day by day." Yizhen said, "I won't get a chance to spend time with both of my brother's. Let me enjoy it." Yichang left. Yizhen said, "oh I forgot, big brother can you inquire about jingyi's parents." Yan said, "yes...I will inform you."

Peace palace:

Yuxuan opened a letter and read,

"Princess bought two kids to her home." Ruan said," brother, how is your love life going on"

"we became friends." He sighed.

"Oh… good improvement. Brother do you know you have changed a lot. These days you are much peaceful. I used to get scared to enter into your palace when you are irritated. I see you more relaxed these days. I think it's because of your princess magic." Ruan said it in a soft tone.

Yuxuan said, "These days I am sleeping well and when I see her I feel like my whole world had stopped."

Ruan said," marry her as soon as possible so I can live peacefully. You always vent out your anger on me." Yuxuan said, "It takes time, firstly I need to stay beside her and protect her."

Yizhen sensed some unusual activity she asked wen and mingyue to return home after two hours.

She took jingyi and jingtian and opened the underground room and told them to sit on the stairs do not move until I come back there are many traps inside. They sat there.

She took out her sword and went to the open courtyard and said, "come out." She saw ten assassins in front of her. She said, "today I will show you what pain is as you have come to kill me."

She moved forward to attack after two incense burning time she killed all ten assassins. Her elbow was bleeding due to a cut made by a sword. Jinping killed five more assassins by hiding there. He cleared their bodies.

She slowly went to the underground room. Jingyi saw and asked him, "Brother what happened to your hand?" She replied, "Some bad people came so I have to fight. I am fine."

Jingyi took out a cloth and tied it on her hand. When they came out of lily courtyard, she lit the signal illumination. She took both of them and rushed to the cliff. She is scared that these kids might get hurt; if she is alone then there is no problem.

She took them to the cave. They stayed there and she was waiting for Yan. She can see the lily courtyard from the cave.

Suddenly she heard footsteps and hid behind the wall of the cave as she felt the steps sound became louder and nearer. she felt someone was heading towards her she took out her sword and attacked.

She placed the sword on his chest. By seeing the person, she put down the sword.She gasped out for breath.

Yuxuan said, "What happened to you? Are you alright" He glanced at her hand while speaking to her. Yizhen said, "I am fine. I have fought with assassins." Yuxuan was worried and said, "Remove your outer robe. I will put medicine on your wound."

He took out the medicine from his pocket, sprinkled the powder on her elbow, and tied it with a cloth. He said someone was nearby.

Yizhen peeked and saw Yan coming towards cliff. Yizhen said, "It's my brother." She took jingyi and jingtian along with yuxuan they jumped on to the cliff.

Yan rushed over and asked," Are you alright?" Yizhen said, "brother I am fine. A few assassins's tried to attack." Yan's face turned red and said in anger," Your father is still trying to kill you."

He saw a person was standing with kids. Yizhen followed his gaze. Yizhen introduced him to yuxuan," Yuxuan this is my brother and he is my friend."Both bent a bit and cupped their hands.

Yan said, "Young master, I am grateful for taking care of my brother." Yizhen said, "I am going home" Then they left for home.

Yizhen took the kids to her courtyard. She is worried if someone may attack them.Yan and Wen cleared out all the bodies in the open courtyard.

After a couple of days,Yan purchased a black horse and gave it to yizhen. Yan asked yizhen, "what do you want to call your horse?" She thought for a while and named it as "Dark knight." she told to her horse, "From today I will call you as dark Knight."

She rode her horse to start her practice. Yuxuan said, "Tomorrow I am going out of the city. Therefore, I will not be available for a few days. He told her to take care of her" Then after completion of their practice they parted their ways.

After a couple of days, Yizhen informed to Yichang and yan, "To take care of jingyi and jingtian. I will come back safely."

She took off her horse and set off towards Nanhai. After two days, she reached lingling town and she saw yuxuan speaking with someone. She stopped and said, " Yuxuan, why are you here?"

He said, "I am heading towards black beast auction hall. I have some work in lingling town so I have stopped here. why are you here?" Yizhen said, "I am also heading to black beast auction hall." Yuxuan said, "Then we both will go together. Let's take a rest for today."
