Li Yuanjing felt as if a thorn was piercing his heart.

Li Yuanjing bent down and pulled the unconscious Shen Wei onto the boat.

Shen Wei was soaked and shivering from the cold. Li Yuanjing immediately took off his coat and put it on Shen Wei, then gently patted Shen Wei's back to let her spit out the river water in her mouth and lungs.

Li Yuanli struggled to climb up by grabbing the edge of the boat. His right hand was almost numb, and blood gushed out again, staining the deck of the ship red.

Lying on the deck, gasping for breath.

Li Yuanjing glanced at Li Yuanli's right hand which was bleeding, and took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and threw it over. Li Yuanli held the golden medicine in his hand and asked suspiciously, "Is this medicine poisoned?"

Li Yuanjing ignored him.

The two men temporarily ceased fighting.

The boat docked.

Li Yuanli smeared some medicine powder on his right hand, and the wound on his right palm that was pierced by Chen Wei stopped bleeding temporarily. With a glance, he saw Li Yuanjing carefully carrying Shen Wei off the boat.

Shen Wei was so cold that she fainted, her face was pale and her lips were blue, she looked extremely fragile.

Li Yuanli wanted to go over to check on Shen Wei, but Li Yuanjing blocked him with his long arms and said coldly, "If I hadn't boarded the ship today, where would you have taken my woman?"

Li Yuanli smiled but said nothing.

The wind is strong by the river and the sun is dazzling.

The sound of horse hooves was heard not far away, and a Nanchu secret guard on horseback came quickly and said a few words anxiously in Li Yuanli's ear.

Li Yuanli's pupils suddenly widened. He stared at Li Yuanjing intently, gnashing his teeth and sneer, "What a good trick! I underestimated you."

Li Yuanli thought that his plan to sneak into Qing State and assassinate the Queen Mother was flawless.

Who could have expected that Li Yuanjing was well prepared?

Taking advantage of Li Yuanli's departure from Nanchu, Li Yuanjing urged his secret agents in Nanchu to instigate other royal family members of Nanchu to seize power and the throne. When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey will become king. The court of Southern Chu was in chaos, and the situation in Southern Chu, which had been finally calmed down, was disrupted again.

If Li Yuanli did not rush back to Southern Chu in time to quell the rebellion, the throne of Southern Chu that he had obtained with great difficulty would be taken away by others.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Li Yuanjing held the unconscious Shen Wei in his arms and said coldly, “Why don’t you get out of here?”
