The Yan brothers were on high alert.

They were afraid that Fu Ciyi would suddenly die and the emperor would hold their sister accountable.

Yan Funing remained calm and asked directly, "Is there something unexpected happening to Master Fu?"

"Miss Yan, rest assured. Tonight, the imperial physicians will take turns to look after Master Fu. The Emperor has sent this old servant to ask when Master Fu will wake up."

"A conservative estimate is two days, and the earliest would be tomorrow night."

"Then please ask Miss Yan to come to the palace tomorrow night and watch Master Fu wake up." After a slight pause, the eunuch added, "This is the emperor's wish."

Yan Funing smiled faintly: "Okay."

Doctors have a kind heart and save lives.

Since she was the one treating the patient, she should be responsible to the end.

The eunuch watched them leave.

In a small alley far outside the palace gate, Yan Honghou saw his younger brother and sister coming out, waved away the men hiding in the dark, and then ordered the coachman to go to meet them.

When he got closer, he saw his second brother holding up his arm with gauze wrapped around it, and Yan Honghou's eyes narrowed.

"Brother, I'm fine." Yan Xinghe said.

"Let's talk about it when we get home." Yan Honghou asked his younger brother and sister to get in the car.

It was already midnight when the four brothers and sisters returned home.

Yan Cheng, Hong Qingyi, and Zeng Kerou were waiting anxiously in the reception room. When they finally returned, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?"

As soon as Yan Chengfu saw his second son, he immediately asked about the assassination.

Yan Xinghe said, "Last night we set up camp in the mountains and rested until the middle of the night when we encountered an assassin. Fu Ciyi and I were in the same tent, and it was close to the Emperor's dragon tent, so I rushed to rescue him immediately."

Yan Bojian asked, "Are you and Fu Ciyi the only ones injured?"

Yan Xinghe replied, "There were too many assassins, and they were quite skilled. Over half of the Imperial Guards who followed were killed or wounded, and two of the accompanying ministers also died. Other ministers were also injured, but they were all sent home long ago. Only Fu Ciyi and I were brought into the palace, and that's because the Emperor is safe and sound, thanks to our protection."

He never expected that his sister would be forced to go and treat Fu Ciyi.

"What are the Imperial Guards doing?" Yan Honghou became angry.

Yan Xinghe replied, "The area around the tent is where the Royal Guards rest. They patrol in different time periods. When the assassins attacked, they resisted them from the periphery. But unexpectedly, more assassins came to the Dragon Tent."

Yan Cheng frowned: "Do you know the killer's background?"

"The Eagle of the Sky, the Goshawk Organization. The scalps of those killers all have the Goshawk logo on them. In the earlier Hanlin Academy attic case, the body inside was a member of the Goshawk."

Yan Cheng asked again, "Are there any survivors left?"

Yan Xinghe shook his head. "A few escaped, and the rest of the killers were either dead or captured. The captured killers moved their jaws, and everyone thought they were going to bite their tongues to commit suicide, so they removed their jaws. But they didn't expect that they were biting their tongues, but instead biting open the poison sac hidden in their mouths."

Before they removed the jaws, the poison sacs in their mouths had already been bitten open, but in the end they were one step too late.

Hong Qingyi felt distressed when she saw her second son's arm wrapped in gauze. She said to Yan Cheng, "It's good that the children are back. It's already midnight. Let them rest. If you have any questions, ask them tomorrow."

"Okay, let's all go and rest." Yan Cheng waved his hand.

--

The next morning, the old Duke rarely went to fight the geese and walk the dog. He went to the East Garden to look for Yan Cheng and Yan Xinghe, father and son, to inquire about the assassination and treatment.

After understanding the situation, the old Duke left his son in the study and let his second grandson go back to rest.

"My arm is injured, so I'll just stay at home for the next few days."

"Yes, Grandfather, the Imperial Academy sent word this morning, granting me leave to recuperate for a few days."

After saying that, Yan Xinghe left his grandfather's study.

I met Yan Yan'er on the way.

"Second brother, I heard that you were injured. Is your injury serious?" She touched Yan Xinghe's arm while asking.

Yan Xinghe calmly avoided it and said in a low voice, "Don't touch it."

This was the wound she had treated for him.

He didn't even dare to touch it during the night bath.

It’s not that he was afraid that the wound would be exposed to water and would not be able to recover well, but he was afraid that if the wound recovered slowly, it would affect the reputation of her medical skills.

"Okay, I won't touch it."

Yan Yan'er quickly raised her hand to indicate that she had not touched it.

The second brother likes cleanliness and doesn't like others to touch him, except her.

I didn't expect that she is the same as others now.

She immediately felt aggrieved and pretended to sob, saying, "My second brother is injured. I feel so sorry for him."

"Don't feel bad."

Seeing her looking aggrieved, he would always offer some comfort in the past, but now he inexplicably felt disgusted and walked away.

When Yan Xinghe returned to Nanyuan, Yan Funing had just gotten up and was having breakfast in the dining room.

Seeing him coming, she didn't say hello, but took out a small beige round porcelain box and pushed it.

"For me?"

Yan Xinghe picked it up and looked at it carefully. The small porcelain box was exquisitely made. As soon as he opened it, he smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.

Yan Bojian helped pass on the message: "This is for you. The ointment inside is made by my sister herself. It promotes skin healing."

Yan Funing took out another prescription.

Caiyu passed the prescription to Yan Xinghe: "Miss said that this prescription has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, and can also promote wound recovery. If combined with the ointment, it can be applied externally or taken internally for better results."

Yan Xinghe took a seat and thanked him: "Thank you very much!"

Yan Funing was enjoying her breakfast without responding.

--

At nightfall, the eunuch came to Duke Yan's residence to pick up Yan Funing.

Yan Funing carried the medicine box herself and said to Yan Bojian and Caiyu, who wanted to go with her, "You can just pick me up when the time comes."

If Fu Ciyi couldn't wake up, the emperor would have to vent his anger on her.

Yan Bojian knew what she meant and nodded.

Yan Cheng and his wife also understood what their daughter meant, so they didn't say much and just reminded her to be careful on the road.
