Chapter 959 -958: The Crown Princess’s Enthronement Ceremony, Assassin_1
The cool touch from his right hand, Noble Lord’s eyes darkened, a few points of fierceness rose: “Alright, we won’t go to the Mental Cultivation Hall, we will go to the library.”
“Awoo.”
Baoya couldn’t follow the secret passage, he circled anxiously around the fake mountain.
“Chirp chirp.”
Little Kingfisher came like a flash of red lightning, circling above the Serene Snow Pavilion.
“Awoo.”
Hearing the chirping, Baoya, like a swiftly flitting white light, bounded onto the eaves of the room, a soft and slurry kitten mew clearly reaching Little Kingfisher’s ears.
“Boss, the Little Prince was once again woken up from his dreams. The soothing pills are ineffective. When he woke up, he ran to the warm pavilion, grabbed Noble Lord, and had him hide. They entered the false mountain, there’s a mechanism, Baoya can’t go in.”
“Got it. You stay here at Serene Snow Pavilion and report any anomalies.”
Little Kingfisher seemed suited to the role of the leading big brother, assigning tasks to Baoya before taking to the air with a powerful flap of his wings.
“Chirp Chirp, Chirp Chirp.”
The Divine Beast baby circled overhead of the Imperial Palace, tweeting with a crisp voice, and it didn’t take long for birds to gather round.
“Chirp chirp.”
The Divine Beast baby assigned tasks to the birds, telling them to investigate the exits of the false mountain.
“Chirp chirp chirp.”
The birdies chirped in response, circled around the Divine Beast baby twice, then dispersed in all directions.

The actions of the birds were exceptional, and in less than half a Shichen, they spotted the figure of Noble Lord in the library.
Little Kingfisher didn’t pause for a moment and mentally communicated with their little master.
“You keep an eye on the Prime Minister, I’ll go to the library to find Yixuan.”
Hearing the mental connection, Lin Qingluo’s figure blinked, disappearing from the Quiet Elegance Residence.
“Little sister?” 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
Su Zixuan happened to witness the scene of her sudden disappearance, and his little heart trembled with astonishment, he couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
“Where did Master go?”
Wang Meng and Shitou had confused expressions, revealing some annoyance.
The master left, and they unexpectedly didn’t notice it.
“Today is the crown princess’s enthronement ceremony, our little sister probably went to the Imperial palace to watch the excitement.”
At this moment, Su Ziqin was still unaware of the events developing at the Imperial Court. He presumed that his sister, still a child, enjoyed the thrill of such events.
The Imperial Palace!
Wang Meng and Shitou were different, upon hearing the two words ‘Imperial Palace’, their hearts and minds grew tense immediately. They subconsciously connected it to Lin Yixuan.
Could the little guy be in trouble again?
The two senior brothers exchanged glances, both seeing a sense of foreboding in each other’s eyes.

The crown princess’s enthronement ceremony was about to begin, and the ornate procession welcoming Countess Duanhui was magnificently entering the palace gates.
Arriving at the front of the Mental Cultivation Hall, Countess Duanhui, dressed lavishly, was helped to alight from the coach by her maid.
The six-year-old girl climbed the steps alone and headed towards the Mental Cultivation Hall.
“Whoosh!”
An arrow whizzed by with a chilling sound, just barely missing Duanhui’s ear.
“There’s an assassin, protect the Crown Princess.”
The attendants, accompanying the procession, rushed up the steps and encircled Duanhui.
“Catch the assassin!”
The agile Imperial Guards standing guard at the front of the hall swiftly drew their swords, and following the direction from which the arrow had come, charged after the assassin.
A masked assassin dressed in black seemingly rushed into the Serene Snow Pavilion in a panic.
The Imperial Guards followed in hot pursuit, surrounding the assassin.
The scene at the Serene Snow Pavilion was chaotic, with the terrified screams of palace maids echoing incessantly.
“Awoo.”
Baoya’s heart fluttered in fear, and taking advantage of his swift speed, he scurried up a tree and hid amid the branches, peeking down below.
Outnumbered, the assassin was pierced through the heart by the sword of two Imperial Guards.
Just before dying, the assassin screamed, “Noble Lord, save me!”
He then collapsed to the ground, twitched a few times, and breathed his last.
