Chapter 394: Chapter 394 I Want Your Knife

He asked tentatively, "What do you want to do?"

Xiaosuisui tilted her head, pouted, and said, "Your two knives are better than my Fourth Uncle’s. I want them!"

"No way!" the Nanjiang guard flatly refused.

Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui felt a little sad. If they don’t want to give them to me, then never mind!

She was just about to return the scimitar in her hand to the Nanjiang guard when she heard the beautiful older sister next to her ask gently, "Don’t you want to save your princess’s life?"

The Nanjiang guard froze for a moment upon hearing this, then abruptly turned to look at Princess Ata on the bed.

Princess Ata’s face was pale, and sweat drenched the hair on her forehead. This wasn’t the most crucial part, however. The most important thing was that Princess Ata’s beautiful eyes were fixed intently on him!

"I have another knife in my room. As long as you save my princess, I’ll give you these two scimitars!"

Ultimately, the Nanjiang guard compromised.

Xiaosuisui happily passed the scimitar to Xie Pan’Er. However, Xie Pan’Er, who knew nothing of the Martial Dao, trembled as she took it.

Seeing this, Ji Youzhi naturally took the scimitar from her.

"You have to keep your word!" Xiaosuisui exclaimed excitedly. She widened her eyes and looked at the guard.

The guard nodded. I’ll agree for now, he thought. Once I get her Elixir and save the Princess, I’ll have the Princess demand an explanation from the Emperor of Great Han. Then, I’ll figure out a way to get the scimitars back.

Seeing the guard nod, Xiaosuisui happily walked to Princess Ata’s bedside with the medicine bottle and, with her short little legs, began to climb onto the bed.

"What are you doing?" The Nanjiang guard and all the Imperial Physicians exclaimed in surprise.

Xiaosuisui blinked and asked in confusion, "Aren’t we trying to save her life?"

The Imperial Physicians were all dismayed, and they gestured towards her. "Just give us the medicine. If you climb up like that, you might accidentally touch the scissors on Princess Ata, and that could kill her."

The Imperial Physicians said this to her in unison, their eyes fixed on the divine Elixir in her hand.

Xiaosuisui didn’t understand their expressions, so she didn’t give the Elixir to any of them. Instead, she looked at the scissors embedded in Princess Ata’s chest and said, "If I don’t come up, how can I help her send the scissors flying out?"

Hearing her words, the Imperial Physicians were all stunned, some even doubting their own ears. For a moment, an unnerving silence filled the room.

Xiaosuisui looked at the group of Imperial Physicians but received no response for a long while. Assuming they didn’t need her to remove the scissors for Princess Ata, she started to climb down from the bed again with her short little legs.

"What are you doing now?" Seeing her climbing off the bed, the group of Imperial Physicians grew anxious and asked her in unison.

Xiaosuisui blinked. "You don’t seem to want me to send the scissors flying out!"

Hearing her words, the corners of the Imperial Physicians’ mouths twitched involuntarily. Everyone said in unison, "No, Eldest Princess, please proceed!"

The Imperial Physicians silently prayed to Heaven, May the Eldest Princess quickly remove the scissors! That way, even if Princess Ata dies, we won’t bear the primary responsibility, and our heads will be safe.

All the Imperial Physicians shared this thought and said to Xiaosuisui in unison, "Eldest Princess, please, go ahead!"

The Imperial Physicians gave Xiaosuisui leave to remove the scissors, so Xiaosuisui stopped trying to get off the bed.

She carefully moved closer to Princess Ata’s side, her hand reaching towards the Eldest Princess’s neck.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, a voice calling for a halt echoed from within the room.
