Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned cold as she swiftly drew the dagger from her waist and hurled it toward the venomous snake!

The blade pinned the snake firmly to the ground, and right through the hem of the Grand Empress Dowager’s skirt.

The sudden sound and tug startled the Grand Empress Dowager.

She turned to look at her skirt and trembled in fear!

She gasped sharply, letting out a low cry.

The palace attendants who were picking peach blossoms not far away quickly turned and hurried over.

When they saw the snake pinned to the Grand Empress Dowager’s skirt, they screamed in terror.

"Protect Her Majesty! Protect Her Majesty!"

"Save the Grand Empress Dowager!"

Though they shouted about protecting her, they were utterly helpless against the venomous snake.

Panic and chaos erupted on the scene.

Su Xiaoxiao calmly walked over.

"Who’s that?!"

A eunuch demanded sharply.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him dismissively and approached the Grand Empress Dowager.

The eunuch frantically grabbed an unripe little peach from a basket and pointed it menacingly at Su Xiaoxiao.

"Step back!"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head as she glanced at the seemingly harmless tiny fruit.

She crouched down, fetched her dagger, and picked up the snake with it.

"Could I trouble you for a medicine bottle?"

She asked, tilting her head.

The Grand Empress Dowager stared at her in a daze and nodded.

Seeing that her mistress had agreed, the eunuch, who happened to have an empty bottle on him, handed it over.

When he handed it to Su Xiaoxiao, he was extremely cautious.

"I-Is it... dead?"

He stammered asking.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the snake in her hand and said, "Oh, not quite. It’s still hanging on by a thread."

"Good heavens!"

The eunuch jumped back in fright.

Su Xiaoxiao swiftly killed the venomous snake, extracted its gallbladder, and stored it in a medicine bottle.

The entire process was smooth and effortless, and she remained completely unfazed, leaving the palace attendants utterly dumbfounded.

"Who... who are you?"

The eunuch, who had been scared into jumping before, eventually regained his calm and summoned the confidence to approach Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Oh, I am a student at the Palace Academy. I recently had lunch with Princess Jingning in that pavilion over there.”

Explaining her identity and the reason for her presence in the inner palace helped tremendously to minimize unnecessary trouble.

Upon hearing that she was with Princess Jingning, no one suspected that she had released the snake herself.

Or, even if they privately had doubts, they couldn’t detain her for questioning.

Su Xiaoxiao held out the snake’s corpse and asked, "Snake flesh is really nutritious. Do you guys want it?"

The palace attendants shook their heads like dice rolling!

The Grand Empress Dowager also shook her head.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Then I’ll take it with me."

The palace attendants nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

Please, just take it away quickly!

Su Xiaoxiao took two steps, then paused, tilting her head to ask the Grand Empress Dowager,

"It could also serve as evidence. Are you sure you don’t want it?"

The Grand Empress Dowager understood what she was referring to and shook her head slightly once more.

"There’s no need. This area has thick grass, damp and overgrown, it’s not unusual for venomous snakes to appear."

Su Xiaoxiao considered it peculiar because the venomous snake had previously been coming straight for the Grand Empress Dowager.

"You may take it away."

The Grand Empress Dowager said to Su Xiaoxiao.

"Thank you for today. What is your name?"

"Su Xiaoxiao."

In a moment of carelessness, Su Xiaoxiao blurted out her real name.

It was all because the Grand Empress Dowager’s eyes bore such a resemblance to Ms. Li’s, making her momentarily forget her current identity.

"My formal name is Su Daya," she added.

The palace attendants twitched their lips.

Formal name using ‘Big’, while using ‘small’ for informal name; Your family certainly has a whimsical way of naming their children.

*Daya using ‘da’ (大) means big Xiaoxiao using ‘xiao’ (小) means small. Formal name in chinese is 大名, with the words of ‘da’ (大), while informal name in chinese is 小名, with the words of ‘xiao’ (小).
