The sky was dyed a dark ink color, and the drizzle fell softly. A fight was taking place in the dense forest of Putuo Mountain.

The two groups met in battle, their swords clashing, emitting cold and intersecting lights in the night. Several boomerangs flew from nowhere and quickly slashed across the necks of the masked men in black, but in an instant they took the lives of several people.

The bloodstained dart eventually became lodged deeply into the surrounding tree trunks.

That group of people are all dead.

Liang Qingchen came down from the tree. His black clothes made him look even taller. When the others saw him, they all half-knelt and saluted, calling out in unison, "Greetings, Master."

Liang Qingchen stood with his hands behind his back, his face grim, and asked, "What do they want to do?"

The leader said, "According to the information I have found, someone is offering a bounty for Princess Rong'an's head in the Brahma Temple."

He frowned and asked, "How much is the reward?"

"Five thousand taels of silver."

"Oh, you want to kill the Queen Mother's niece for just five thousand taels? No wonder the people who came here are just small fry. Give Duan Mingxi five thousand taels of gold and ask him to cancel this bounty."

"Isn't this... a bit too much?"

"Yes, that's too good for him. Let's ask him for another piece of information." He hooked his finger, and the man came forward and he whispered a few words.

The other party nodded and said, "I understand."

"Get these bodies clean."

"yes."

Having said that, Liang Qingchen used his Qinggong skills and disappeared into the dense forest with a few leaps.

Liang Qingchen returned to the door of the Putuo Temple's private room and saw that the lights were off. Thinking that Jiang Muyu had fallen asleep, he gently opened the door and tiptoed over the threshold.

"Finally I know I'm back."

The sudden voice startled him so much that he stumbled and fell forward.

Jiang Muyu didn't expect this person to suddenly press down on her. She was thrown to the ground without any preparation and closed her eyes subconsciously.

However, the intense pain that she had imagined did not come. Liang Qingchen placed his palm under the back of her head. He did not press on her, but instead supported his entire body with one hand on the ground.

Jiang Muyu fell on her butt, but it was just a little numb. The light in the room was very dim at night, and she could only vaguely see the outline of the person in front of her.

"If you don't get up, my hand will be useless." He said.

Jiang Muyu then hurriedly stood up, but she forgot that they were in the position of man on top and woman on bottom. She stood up suddenly and her forehead hit his nose.

Liang Qingchen groaned in pain, his arms went limp, and he fell on top of her.

"S-Sorry."

"You are so...stupid."

Jiang Muyu rarely did not argue. He was really heavy, and it was difficult for her to hold him while half sitting, so she said, "Can you get up first?"

Liang Qingchen buried his face in the crook of her neck. The unique fragrance from her body made him dazed for a moment.

Jiang Muyu saw that he didn't move for a long time, so he pushed him and said, "Hey, did you hear me?"

Liang Qingchen said in a muffled voice: "I'm injured."

Jiang Muyu originally thought that she had hurt his nose with the collision just now, and wanted to see if he had a nosebleed. However, when she lit the candle, she found that her hands were stained with blood.

"Are you bleeding?" Jiang Muyu immediately put down the candlestick and walked over to check on Liang Qingchen who was still sitting on the ground. At such a close distance, with the light of the candle, she saw that his lips had become as pale as his face. However, he was wearing dark clothes, so even if they were soaked in blood, it was hardly noticeable.

She was worried, "Let me see where it's hurt."

Liang Qingchen raised a hand towards her and said, "Help me to the couch."

Concerned about his injuries, Jiang Muyu obediently did as she was told. After some effort, she helped him to the bed. Then she went back, closed the door, and bolted it.

Liang Qingchen smiled and said, "Were you waiting for me just now?"

Jiang Muyu rolled her eyes and said, "Don't think too much. I just wanted to get up and go to the toilet in the middle of my sleep."

"Really?"

"Yes." Jiang Muyu carried the candlestick to a place close to the bed and reached out to untie his belt.

Liang Qingchen held down her restless hands and joked, "Madam, why are you so anxious? I am yours anyway."

Jiang Muyu really wanted to dig open his brain to see what kind of magical structure was inside. How could he have the leisure to joke with her at this time?

She said, "Let me take a look at the wound."

Seeing that she was getting a little anxious, Liang Qingchen stopped teasing her, unbuckled his belt obediently, and took off his shirt.

Jiang Muyu then saw his wounds clearly and took a breath. There was a long cut from his left waist to his abdomen, which was very shocking. Blood had soaked most of his abdomen. The wound, which had already clotted a little, was now oozing blood due to the tearing just now.

She didn't know any medical knowledge, so the only thing she could think of was to find someone. She stood up and said, "I'll go get Yun Xuan to come over."

"Don't make this public. Just let Yun Xuan know." Liang Qingchen held her hand and found that her fingertips were trembling slightly. He felt a subtle shock in his heart.

Jiang Muyu quickly pulled his hand away, "Got it."

She walked quickly out of the house.

Liang Qingchen sat on the edge of the bed, with a dark look in his eyes.

He didn't expect that he would be injured. He was accidentally set up when he was chasing the man. The man was so despicable that he used a child as bait to lure him to rescue her. He also set up a trap in the open. If he didn't rescue the child, she would be shot by the trap. If he went to rescue her, he would not only be injured, but the man would also take the opportunity to slip away.

He weighed the pros and cons and finally chose to save the child.

Liang Qingchen let out a long breath and said, "Forget it, just run away."

Not long after, Jiang Muyu came back with Yun Xuan.

Yun Xuan smelled blood as soon as she entered the room. She was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Jiang Muyu, and then felt that it was impossible. If the princess was injured, she should have been able to smell blood just now, so it could only mean that someone in the room was injured. There was only one person who could appear in the princess' room openly...

She rushed into the inner room and saw Liang Qingchen leaning against the head of the bed, covered in blood. He was pale to begin with, and now he looked so broken.

Yun Xuan's heart ached for a moment, and he quickly walked up to him and knelt down, "I am late."

Liang Qingchen didn't even raise his eyelids, and said weakly, "Don't talk nonsense."

"yes."

At this time Jiang Muyu brought her a medicine box, which Yun Xuan would take with her when she went out of the city, in case of emergency.

"Princess, please fetch some hot water."

"Okay." Jiang Muyu immediately went to do it.

Yun Xuan half-knelt to treat his wounds. Taking advantage of Jiang Muyu's absence, she dared to ask, "Did the master go to kill that man?"

"Well, he ran away again."

"That man has always been cunning. Even a shrewd man like the emperor fell into his hands. The master does not need to blame himself."

"Ha--if he hadn't cheated, I would have packed his head and sent it to the palace tonight." He sighed, "I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to track him down in the future."

"With the master's magical power, he will definitely be able to kill this man."

He touched his forehead and said, "The emperor deliberately gave me these two days off. On the surface, he said that he wanted me to relax, but in reality, he wanted me to work hard for him. If I don't complete this mission, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain myself."

Yun Xuan looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally said nothing.

She never understood why such a powerful person as her master was willing to submit to the emperor and work for him. But she didn't dare to ask, she was just a servant and only needed to know what she should know.

Jiang Muyu personally boiled some hot water and brought it in.

At this time, Yun Xuan had already stopped Liang Qingchen's bleeding, so he used a handkerchief soaked in hot water to clean the wound, then applied medicine and wrapped it with gauze.

"Doesn't this require sewing?" Jiang Muyu asked.

Yun Xuan said, "My Lady, the wound on the prince looks horrible, but it is not deep and does not require stitches."

"Oh..." She actually wanted to see with her own eyes how sewing was done in ancient times.

Liang Qingchen glanced at her and seemed to see an emotion called regret on her face?
