This incident caused an uproar in the capital. There were those who denounced Yuan He for not saving his life, those who accused Deng Xiao of taking the children of influential nobles away to interrogate them, but no one mentioned that Yi Qing had been assassinated.
Yi Qing arranged the arrangements for Sansa and told her how to look after her. Afterwards, he and Xiao Qinghan went to the Duke of Di's residence. As soon as they stepped out of the mansion, they saw the Duke of Di come down from his horse and the two of them went down the steps to pay their respects.
"Are you guys okay?" The official of the Di Kingdom had a face full of worry.
"It's nothing, the servant helped my daughter block the sword." Xiao Qinghan still had some lingering fear in his heart.
"Have you found out who it is?"
"The other side is very cautious. Two assassins are dead, and the Imperial Secret Service is investigating."
