"Physician Feng committed suicide out of fear of punishment!"

Wu Yong said, panting heavily, as he walked into Li Youran's room. Just then, Li Youran walked in from a side room.

He looked at Li Youran's room with a puzzled expression. There was someone lying on the bed. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a man.

"Where did this villain come from, daring to..."

"It's Young Master Tang. He was seriously injured and returned late last night."

As Li Youran spoke, she hurriedly walked into the room. Seeing that Tang Lei had already opened his eyes and was leaning against the headboard, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"You just said that Doctor Ma committed suicide out of guilt?"

Li Youran turned to look at Wu Yong, and continued with a puzzled expression, "Yesterday, His Highness the Second Prince specially dispatched more men, so how could he possibly commit suicide right under his nose?"

As Li Youran spoke, she naturally supported Tang Lei, placed a soft pillow behind his back, and then reached out to pick up the tea from the table and slowly fed it to him.

Tang Lei's lips curled up slightly without being noticed, and then he glanced at Wu Yong with a provocative look.

"Young Master Tang is seriously injured and needs to rest. Princess, let's go to the outer room to discuss this matter!"

Wu Yong's eyes burned with rage as he gritted his teeth and spoke.

But Li Youran didn't notice any of this. She was wondering how Doctor Ma could commit suicide so quietly under the noses of so many people.

Suicide was impossible. Although Doctor Ma made a mistake, it did not warrant death.

Moreover, this Doctor Ma usually takes great care of his health and practices various health-preserving methods. Li Youran didn't believe that Doctor Ma would be willing to give up his own life.

"You rest first, I'll be right back."

Li Youran realized that Doctor Ma had not committed suicide, but had been assassinated, and couldn't help but worry.

What kind of expert was he to be able to sneak into a heavily guarded prison without anyone knowing and kill Doctor Ma?

Li Youran and Wu Yong walked towards the outer room. Wu Yong turned around, raised his eyebrows at Tang Lei, and looked victorious.

"Cough cough..."

Tang Lei suddenly clutched his chest and began to cough violently.

Upon seeing this, Li Youran hurriedly returned and asked Tang Lei with a worried expression how he was injured.

Wu Yong stood to the side, his fists clenched and his teeth grinding, thinking that Tang Lei was really too despicable.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Second Prince."

Just then, Xiao Hong's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Second Prince."

When Li Youran and his entourage saw the Second Prince enter, they hurriedly bowed.

The Second Prince strode forward and caught Tang Lei on the bed.

"No need for formalities."

Tang Lei then, as if by magic, untied the ribbon from his head, pulled out a letter, and handed it to the Second Prince.

"Your Highness, after you read this letter, you will understand the whole truth."

Tang Lei spoke to the Second Prince with a serious expression.

The Second Prince nodded without speaking, then placed the letter in his sleeve.

"I have already sent someone to replace you in the military camp. From now on, you will stay by my side. There are important things I need you to do."

After speaking, the Second Prince instructed Tang Lei to take good care of his health. Before leaving, he turned back and gave Tang Lei and Li Youran a meaningful look.

When the Second Prince left, he took Wu Yong with him. Only You Ran and Tang Lei remained in the room. Even Xiao Hong outside the door was instructed to keep watch.

Li Youran felt extremely embarrassed. Could it be that the Second Prince and her sister already knew about her relationship with Tang Lei?

What happened to your arm?

Tang Lei had noticed that Li Youran's arm looked a bit strange. He originally thought she had just bumped into something or twisted it accidentally, but he didn't expect that she had actually suffered a knife wound.

"If I hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid that if that knife had come down solidly, I would have lost my arm."

Just as Li Youran was boasting about her kung fu skills, Tang Lei's eyes blazed with anger.

"The person behind this is either His Highness the Third Prince or His Highness the Fourth Prince."

Tang Lei said in a low voice. Li Youran looked at Tang Lei with a curious expression.

Tang Lei originally didn't plan to tell Li Youran these things, since the less she knew, the safer she would be.

However, Tang Lei also knew that Li Youran was thoughtful and intelligent, not an ordinary woman. If he kept it from her, it would backfire. So he simply told Li Youran the whole story.

“It is common for princes to vie for the throne. However, to join forces with a foreign country is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house.”

After listening to Tang Lei's words, Li Youran frowned and said.

She never imagined that the seemingly foolish Third Prince would actually extend his reach to the countries of the Northern Frontier.

Moreover, he leaked state secrets in exchange for making the state of the northern border serve him.

"The Snow Kingdom of Northern Xinjiang is the largest country in Northern Xinjiang. Although it pays tribute every year, the wolf cub's ambition has long been exposed."

As Tang Lei spoke, his chest heaved violently with excitement, and his bandaged wound began to bleed again.

"Spies from the Snow Kingdom have already infiltrated the Central Plains. Moreover, I received a secret letter from one of them, saying that they have planted people in the palace and plan to launch an attack on our country soon."

Li Youran was slightly surprised when she heard Tang Lei's words. She did not expect that the Third Prince would be so crazy as to take such a big risk in order to obtain the throne.

Once people from the northern frontier infiltrate the Central Plains, it won't be so easy to get them out.

"The Third Prince was already somewhat caught off guard, and now the Fourth Prince has begun to openly and covertly vie for power. I fear that the country will soon descend into chaos."

Li Youran sighed and said.

Although she knew that such things would happen when dynasties changed, she still couldn't help but worry about the people, because no matter what, it was always the people who would suffer in the end.

Everyone was busy, except for two patients who were strolling around the mansion.

Li Youran and Tang Lei first went to the prison to question the guards who were on duty yesterday, hoping to find some clues.

None of the guards on duty yesterday noticed anything unusual. When Doctor Ma was found, his body was already cold.

"I think these two groups of assassins are not the same group of people. The assassins who tried to kill Doctor Feng were not that skilled."

Li Youran secretly rejoiced, thankful that the assassins she encountered were not very skilled. If they had been highly skilled, she wouldn't have had the chance to save the hero.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid the situation will become even more chaotic."

Tang Lei said with a worried expression.

"Aside from the Third Prince, there's the Fourth Prince. If these two groups aren't the same, it means the Fourth Prince has also gotten involved."

"Something terrible has happened!"

Just then, Xiao Hong ran over in a panic.
