Chapter 1168: 1165._1

Upon receiving Jinghao's message through Pigeon Post, Mrs. Liu promptly sent word to Mrs. Gu and Xiao'er.

Considering the chaotic situation in the south, Xiao'er was a bit uneasy. "Brother Shangguan, how about I pick a couple of people from my personal guards to secretly protect Xi'er? It's time to test their capabilities anyway."

"Alright." Shangguan Xuanyi didn't go out that day, he stayed in the mansion dealing with official documents and letters. He was currently reviewing intelligence gathered by Lei Wu, so he casually agreed to Xiao'er's suggestion upon hearing it.

Therefore, from the personal female guards that Shangguan Xuanyi had specially trained for her, Xiao'er picked the two most skilled in martial arts and dispatched them to secretly protect Xi'er and Gu Qiqi.

In her position as princess, she was not supposed to have personal guards. Even the Empress herself did not have the privilege of keeping personal guards!
