"hiss--"
"Your Highness, just bear with it and it will be fine soon."
Yan Xiaosi looked at the shocking wound and said distressedly, "Your Highness, please stop moving around. You need to take good care of yourself."
Shangguan Yunxiao found Shangguan Jinnian, and his tense nerves relaxed. Only then did he realize that his injuries were indeed very serious.
"Don't worry, it will be fine in two days."
Alas, his Highness just has a good attitude.
After a moment, Shangguan Yunxiao lay down with his clothes on. "Immediately send the four of them to Luoxia Cottage to secretly protect the Ninth Prince."
Yan Xiaosi said, "Absolutely not. Two people must stay behind to protect His Highness."
Shangguan Yunxiao pondered for a moment, "First, arrange for Duan Li and Duan Wu to go... Then send a message to Duan Fei, asking him to quickly send a large number of people to protect him. We don't know when the Ninth Prince will recover his memories. Every day we wait is a day more dangerous."
"yes."
"Also, have Duan Fei closely monitor the Prince of Wei's and Prince of Li's mansions..."

Xu Mo saw Xingyun guarding the main door, so he approached and whispered, "My master has something important to discuss with Madam Su. Please pass it on."
Xingyun said: "Please wait a moment."
Xingyun knocked lightly on the door and entered the study. "Madam, does your uncle want to see you?"
Uncle?
Xiao Lingyu didn't react for a moment, and after a while he said, "Okay, I understand. You can go to the Xu family later and invite Miss Xu to dinner..."
Xiao Lingyu took Tai Zhuo's portrait and was about to go find Feng Jinyu, but when he reached the door, he turned back.
It is not appropriate for him to know Xiao Xier’s identity now.
Thinking of his feelings for the original owner, he came to find her despite being covered in injuries.
She couldn't let him take risks again, and couldn't let him worry about Xiao Xier's affairs. He had to go to Cangnan County safely.
Xiao Lingyu entered the main hall of the west wing and saw Feng Jinyu smiling. He thought that what he was going to tell her was good news.
After Xiao Lingyu sat down, he smiled and said, "Jinyu, what do you want to discuss with me?"
"Xiao Yu, you can rest assured. These eunuchs are neither from the feudal lords nor from Nan Kun. They are from Dongjun."
Xiao Lingyu was a little surprised, "How did you know?"
"I met the man standing in front of the palace today at the Horseback Archery Banquet three years ago. He is Shangguan Yunxiao, the Crown Prince of the Dongjun Imperial Family."
Xiao Lingyu opened his eyes wide in shock, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"No doubt about it. Three years ago, he was only fourteen and looked a little childish. I didn't recognize him at first. Only just now, when I was in the room, thinking carefully about his face, did I remember it was him."
Xiao Lingyu, "...and who is Xiaojiu?"
"He is the late son of Emperor Dongjun, the most favored young prince at the moment, and Shangguan Yunxiao's uncle... Shangguan Jinnian, the ninth child."
Xiao Lingyu was deeply shocked. What kind of fate was Su Xingyi facing?!
Any child I pick up is either the future empress, a young prince, or the child of the richest man...
Tsk tsk tsk…
Xiao Lingyu thinks that Su Xingyi can reach the pinnacle of life by picking up children!
Xiao Lingyu didn't sigh for too long and soon calmed down.
"It seems the uncle and nephew came to Beiyi secretly and were assassinated. If anything happens to them in Beiyi, it might cause unnecessary disputes between the two countries... I wonder why they came to Beiyi secretly?"
Feng Jinyu's eyes darkened. "...If I'm not mistaken, the two of them entered Beiyi to visit the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to the late queen."
Xiao Lingyu frowned and said, "...Since you are here to pay tribute to the late queen, why did you enter the country secretly?"
Feng Jinyu said, "...Twenty years ago, when my father was still the Crown Prince, he married Princess Fu'an, the youngest and most beloved daughter of the current Emperor of Dongjun. Not long after the marriage, my father ascended the throne and inherited it. Princess Fu'an was named Empress Fu'an. Soon, news of the good news spread from the Imperial Palace, and relations between the two countries became unprecedentedly good... But the good times didn't last long. My father's eldest son was stillborn... Empress Fu'an was unable to have children and died of depression not long after..."
When Xiao Lingyu heard this, he suddenly remembered the secret of the Beiyi royal family.
In the original owner's memory, his grandfather had said this to him a few times.
It is said that the Dongjun royal family did not believe that Empress Fu'an would give birth to a stillborn baby, and suspected that the harem had resorted to despicable means. At one point, they sent troops to force the Beiyi royal family to investigate the truth and hand over the murderer.
The original owner's grandfather was ordered to lead troops to resist in times of crisis.
Shangguan Yunxiao's father, the prince, personally brought people to conduct a thorough investigation. All the evidence showed that Empress Fu'an was indeed weak and the fetus was unable to be delivered for a long time in the mother's womb, which led to stillbirth. The two sides were deadlocked at the border for half a year before they were able to withdraw their troops.
"...The Shangguan family had requested that Empress Fu'an be moved back to Dongjun for burial, but my father wouldn't allow it. Tensions between the two countries flared, but they eventually reached a consensus that the Dongjun royal family would pay homage to Empress Fu'an every five years... They had already done so three years ago, so they could only openly pay homage at the imperial mausoleum in two years."
"Did Shangguan Yunxiao see you in front of the mansion gate?" Xiao Lingyu couldn't help feeling a little worried. After all, the relationship between the two countries had been very tense.
Feng Jinyu said: "He didn't see me, his attention was all on Xiaojiu, he wouldn't know your identity. Now Xingyi is Xiaojiu's savior, Shangguan Yunxiao can't thank him enough, but..."
"If you have any concerns, please tell me."
Feng Jinyu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll wait for Xiaojiu to recover his memory before rushing to Cangnan County..."
Xiao Lingyu's face was slightly worried. "It could take Xiaojiu a few days or two to three months to recover his memory, or even half a year or even longer... and you can't delay any longer. If you delay too long, the person behind the scenes who framed you and me will use this as a pretext to put you in an even more difficult situation... This is not what I want to see..."
Feng Jinyu looked at her slightly furrowed brows and felt his heart tighten. She cared about him, and so did he.
"Xiao Yu, the uncle and nephew secretly entered Beiyi this time. I think their whereabouts were exposed, which led to the assassination. The person behind the scenes didn't succeed this time, and I think they will send people to assassinate again. I'm worried that they will come to Luoxia Cottage... I need to stay for a few more days so that I can go to Cangnan County with peace of mind."
Xiao Lingyu's heart sank, but she didn't show it on her face. She couldn't let Feng Jinyu see her anxiety.
Su Xingyi must stop picking up children and raising them!
Not only was she busy hiding Xiao Xier, but she also had to guard against the murderer behind the persecution of the eldest and third brothers.
To be honest, it's quite worrying.
"Don't worry. I'll find a way to help Xiaojiu recover his memory as quickly as possible. The government is currently investigating the dozen or so deaths. Martial law will be imposed throughout Xishui County for the next few days. Even if the person behind this comes looking for us, they won't dare to act rashly..."
"My title of princess has not been revoked yet. If necessary, I will find a way to have Master Miao arrange for people to defend Luoxia Villa..."
Feng Jinyu stared at Xiao Lingyu with a sharp gaze. "Even so, I still need to stay for a few more days to make sure you are safe before I can leave... You don't have to worry about me. If they want my life, I won't be able to see you alive..."
