When the assassins saw them retreat, they thought it was a trap and stood still. Then, a loud "bang!" was heard.
Those who were close by were blown to bits and their bodies were never found. Those who were farther away were also blown away by the force of the blast, and the areas that were hit were also injured.
The scene was spectacular and shocking. Dozens of assassins were wiped out in an instant, with more than half of them killed and blood and flesh flying everywhere. The surviving assassins were stunned and began to question their existence.
What the hell was that? It was so powerful! It killed or wounded a large number of his companions, some without even leaving a complete corpse?
At the same time, it left fear and shadows in their hearts.
The leader of the assassins had miraculously survived, though his left hand was injured and blown off. Ignoring the pain, he stared at his remaining men, his mind still reeling, with only one thought in mind: he wanted to live!
Therefore, he no longer dared to confront the prince's men head-on!
They knew in their hearts that they probably wouldn't be able to complete their master's mission this time! Even escaping would be difficult.
Seeing that some people were still alive, An Shiyi was about to take out another one, but Xueying stopped him, saying:
"We should save on the princess's treasures if possible. We can handle the rest ourselves. Let's not waste the princess's things!"
An Shiyi thought about it and agreed. This treasure was so powerful that it would be a waste to use it to kill a few assassins. He should keep it; it might be useful in the future!
So he nodded and said:
"Brother Xueying is right!"
After saying that, he carefully put the explosive pack back into his pocket, picked up a knife, and charged towards the remaining defeated soldiers.
A dozen bodyguards were no match for a dozen assassins, who were still stunned by the commotion and hadn't reacted yet. It was incredibly easy for them; they subdued the assassins in no time.
Xueying then handed the matter over to An Shiyi to handle. He still had to return to the princess's side. As the princess's bodyguard, he had already neglected his duty by leaving her for so long.
Xueying turned around and chased after the two guards who had just been holding the prince. She jumped down the slope and soon found the two guards. There was also a tiger and two other guards beside them. Xueying felt that the tiger was very familiar.
The four people and the tiger stood awkwardly by a tree.
Xueying stepped forward but didn't see the princess or the prince. He asked in confusion:
"Where are the princess and the prince?"
The four guards blushed, looking up at the sky and down at the ground, unable to utter a word for a long time.
...
When Li Xiaochen was carried down by two bodyguards and found by Lin Yuxin, he was already unconscious, but his body was still burning hot.
"Princess, please save the Prince! He's dying!"
One of the guards spotted the princess from afar and shouted loudly.
Lin Yuxin looked over upon hearing the sound and indeed saw Li Xiaochen unconscious, being carried over by them.
Lin Yuxin's heart skipped a beat, and her expression changed slightly. Ah Chen!
"Ah Chen is injured? Why is there so much blood? Quick, put him down, let me take a look!"
Lin Yuxin quickly gave the instructions.
The two guards reacted quickly, placing the prince directly in front of Lin Yuxin and then stepping aside.
Lin Yuxin quickly squatted down to take his pulse, but after taking it, her face turned dark.
[Damn it, I shouldn't have gone easy on that woman Shufang earlier! She actually dared to harm my man! She drugged him!!!]
Li Xiaochen had been drugged with aphrodisiac. Because he had no woman and had been holding back for so long, his blood and qi had been overwhelmed, and he fainted.
Lin Yuxin was filled with anger and heartache. Overwhelmed with mixed feelings, she had no choice but to take out her silver needles and prick Li Xiaochen's chest and head with a few needles.
We need to suppress the effects of the medication first, otherwise he'll faint again once he's revived.
Moreover, there's no antidote for this aphrodisiac; the only way to cure it is through sexual intercourse. But now isn't the best time. He's covered in wounds and blood, and even if Lin Yuxin wanted to help him, she wouldn't know where to begin! She certainly didn't want to fight a bloody battle!
A short while later, Li Xiaochen regained consciousness and was muttering something.
Lin Yuxin bent down to listen carefully and heard him call "Xinxin"!
"Now you know to call me? Where were you before! You don't know how to take care of your health at all!"
Lin Yuxin complained, but her movements were very gentle as she began to bandage his wounds.
"How did he get his injuries?"
Lin Yuxin frowned as she looked at the wounds on his body. All the wounds were sword wounds, but none of them were deep, and they did not seem to be caused by enemies.
Lin Yuxin was puzzled, so she asked the two bodyguards who carried Li Xiaochen down.
"Your Highness, these wounds were inflicted by the prince himself. He had already been drugged before being chased, and along the way, in order to resist the effects of the drug and keep his mind clear, he would occasionally cut himself. In addition, there were assassins all around, so the prince could not let his guard down, so..."
The bodyguard answered respectfully from the side.
Lin Yuxin pursed her lips, unsure whether to be happy for Li Xiaochen's perseverance or to feel sorry for him for insisting on self-harm rather than being with Shufang.
Lin Yuxin composed herself and quickly treated his injuries. Since the wounds were not deep, they did not need stitches; she simply applied hemostatic medicine and bandaged them up.
Lin Yuxin counted, and there were a total of seven or eight sword wounds on Li Xiaochen's body, all of which he had inflicted himself. It was clear that he had not suffered any losses at the hands of the assassins under such circumstances.
At this moment, Li Xiaochen slowly woke up, and the first thing he saw was his Xin Xin. Was he in heaven? How did he see Xin Xin?
