It Was Useless to be Anxious

Zhi Lan worriedly added, "Everyone in the palace is spreading word, I'm afraid it's already real."

Hu Xiao knew that Zhi Lan would never say something that she wasn't confident in. Since she dared to mention this matter in front of him, it meant that the assassination attempt on the Imperial examinations' residences was real.

"I'm going to find Qin Shuo and have him send people to catch the assassin. I don't believe that a few pieces of rat poop can destroy all of my porridge." Hu Xiao said angrily, her eyes flashed with anger, she was so angry her chest hurt.

The assassin thought that with all the destruction done, no woman would be able to take the Imperial Examinations anymore. How naive, how hilarious!

"Empress, slow down. Don't fall down." Zhi Lan followed behind her as she spoke nervously. Compared to the girls who were taking the exams, she was more worried about Hu Xiao's safety.
