The assassination was so loud that Cen An and the others naturally noticed it. When Rong Qing said that the princess was injured, he hurried to grab the medicine box.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry up!"

When Cen An was brought over, he saw Xiao Li walking slowly down the corridor.

She was standing there, looking fine, but her fox fur coat was stained with blood, which was still dripping onto the ground.

Cen An hurried over and said, "Princess, where are you hurt? If you're injured, you can't walk anymore. Lie down and have someone carry you into the house for treatment."

Xiao Li didn't even move his eyes and continued walking forward without stopping.

Cen An didn't dare to touch her and could only turn to look at Rong Qing.

It was rare to see the tall and strong Weiwu Zi, with a frown on his face and a tense expression. He was extremely anxious but also cautious and humble and did not dare to step forward.

Cen An asked anxiously, "Where exactly is the princess injured?"

Rong Qing looked down: "Her hand, her palm was pierced by an arrow."

The palm is not fatal, but if it is not treated in time, it will cause serious problems.

"Princess."

Hongyue and Lanyue rushed over. They wanted to go forward to help, but they were afraid of hurting her wound, so they could only follow carefully, asking the princess to go to her residence so that she could see a doctor.

Song Junzhan arrived a little late due to his weak body. When he met Xiao Li head-on, he saw that she was not in good condition. He wanted to say something but didn't. He just stepped aside and made way.

Everyone was waiting for Xiao Li to move on and go to the house to see the doctor, but she stopped beside Song Junzhan.

She raised her head slightly, her eyes were empty and aimless, cold and lifeless.

"There is a piece surrounded on all sides. How can I escape the situation by keeping it alive?"

Song Junzhan replied: "Lie dormant, gathering strength, and waiting for the right opportunity."

Xiao Li lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on his face, and he regained some of his spirit: "You are talking about you, right?"

Song Junzhan stared at her, his eyes firm. "The chessboard is nothing but a dead object. What matters is the wisdom and courage of the player. If the trapped party is in the princess's hands, when the time comes, they will break free from the shackles and soar into the sky. Song Junzhan believes that nothing in this world can stop you."

He is more confident than her.

Xiao Li laughed unconsciously and stretched out his hand towards him.

The hand covered in blood, with flesh and blood flying around, looked hideous and terrifying.

Song Junzhan's eyes, as clear as glass, shrank, but he did not hide.

The bloody fingertips touched his cheek, scratching it slightly and leaving a bloody mark.

She suddenly smiled faintly, cold and strange, revealing an inexplicable danger: "Will you die if you come close to me?"

Song Junzhan suddenly lifted his skirt, knelt on one knee, and looked up at her with a trembling but determined gaze: "Song Junzhan is frail and cannot protect the princess, but he still has a wealth of knowledge and a loyal heart. If the princess does not abandon him, I am willing to pledge my life and write for her!"

His tenacity came back.

He is obviously very weak and has a face that is out of this world, but he can make people feel the stubbornness in him that refuses to bow to fate.

Xiao Li prefers warriors because what she wants to do is kill people and cause trouble. People like Rong Qing are the best, the more the better.

To her, intellectuals are like chicken ribs.

But Song Junzhan... was like a pearl covered in dust among the literati of this dynasty. Even though he knew that he was useless to him, he could not bear to see him completely buried in the dust.

Excessive blood loss made her feel a little dizzy, but her mind was extremely clear.

"If you're not devoted to reviving the imperial examination system, why are you following me?"

Song Junzhan said the answer he had been thinking about for many days: "What the princess said that day was a revelation. Junzhan thought about it day and night and finally found the answer. Rather than watering a flower destined not to bloom with blood, it is better to choose a wise master and start a new prosperous era."

To usher in a new era of prosperity, what a big tone! This is even more ambitious than reviving the imperial examination system.

And the one he chose was Xiao Li.

In the face of absolute admiration and strength, a woman’s identity is not a problem at all.

The strong are respected because they are strong, not because they are men.

Xiao Li looked at him for a long time. She did not agree, and he was not anxious. He waited quietly for her judgment.

Especially the glaring red on his face, like the mark of a banished immortal entering the game.

Finally, she slowly spoke: "The hunters don't need weaklings. I'll wait for you to prove yourself."

She still has confidence in Song Junzhan, but she doesn't know if he will go that far. She hopes he won't let her down.

If it were just like before, she admired Song Junzhan and liked his appearance. When she was in a good mood, she would casually ask the emperor and tell him the truth for him, which would not be a big deal.

But having him under your wing was different.

For a man who can stand by her side, appearance is just the icing on the cake, ability is the first choice. She would never keep a man as a subordinate out of lust or pity.

After saying that, he placed his intact hand on Hongyue's hand. Now she needed a little support to prevent herself from falling.

Song Junzhan bowed deeply to Xiao Li and said, "I obey your command."

Cen An was dumbfounded.

No, what happened? I just said a few words, how come my brother became the princess's subordinate?

"Jun Zhan, what are you doing?"

Cen An wanted to wake up his confused brother, but the next moment he was grabbed by Rong Qing and taken away. It was more important to treat the princess's injuries.

Xiao Li's injuries were serious. His palm was pierced, his bones were injured, and he lost too much blood. His entire arm lost feeling.

Cen An: “…” It wasn’t that serious originally, but she delayed and made it worse.

I cursed in my heart, but still treated it seriously.

Not to mention that the princess is vicious and cruel, he can't escape unless he is cured. Even for the sake of his brother, he has to cure her.

Stiff smile: What bad luck! How did things turn out like this?

It was so mysterious that he couldn't understand it, but one thing was certain: there would be no shortage of opportunities to work illegally in the future.

There is no need to say much about Cen An's medical skills. He can stop bleeding, suture, and apply medicine, and he can absolutely guarantee that there will be no scars in the future.

However, this is too much blood loss, so it can only be replenished slowly, and even the miracle doctor cannot restore blood directly.

After he finished treating the princess, he hurried back to question his brother, but found that he had already prepared tea for him.

"Ahem!"

Cen An pretended to be serious and walked over to sit down. "Go ahead."

He waited for Song Junzhan to tell the truth, but Song Junzhan just opened his mouth and said, "How can I cure my cough?"

Cen An frowned, but still replied, "I've found all the necessary herbs. I'll find a time to use acupuncture to remove the blood stasis, and then use the medicine. The specific effect will depend on the recovery. If the situation is good, the effect will be seen in at least a month."

Song Junzhan's illness is an old one, and even if there is good medicine, it will take time to heal.

"Okay, just one month." The tone was clearly filled with urgency.

How could Cen An not know why he was so anxious to get treatment? He was really pissed off: "Don't you have anything else to say to me? I told you so much this morning, but you ignored it all, didn't you?"

Song Junzhan looked at him calmly and seriously: "Cen An, she is the one I have been waiting for. You may not understand it now, but you will know it later."

"Meeting her is the luck of my life!"
