Ning Xihua screamed, but she was not screaming at the three men in black who were rushing towards her.
The three men in black who crossed the guard circle were blocked by Su Bi's sword. He was fighting one against three, and the shadow of his sword was as fast as a rainbow.
While Su Bi was fending off the three men in black, someone shot a hidden arrow at Su Bi from behind!
Ning Xihua warned Su Bi to be careful. But at this time, the three men in black were also desperately trying to entangle Su Bi. For a while, no matter how agile Su Bi was, he had no time to pay attention to him.
Seeing that the hidden arrow was rapidly shooting towards Su Bi's back while Su Bi was still fighting with others, Ning Xihua suddenly got the courage from somewhere and rushed forward.
The arrow embedded itself in the flesh, and blood gushed out immediately.
The pain slowly spread in her right chest. Her breathing became difficult, and every breath she exhaled was accompanied by a needle-like pain. The severe pain made her lose the strength to stand, and her consciousness also drifted away.
In Ning Xihua's eyes, what happened next seemed like a slow-motion shot in a movie.
She seemed to see Su Bi chopping off the head of another man in black.
Really, didn't we agree to be more restrained in front of her next time? This is too bloody.
Ning Xihua was still mumbling in her heart when she saw Su Bi rushing over with a panicked look on her face and catching her falling body.
She had never seen Su Bi with such an expression.
He had always been calm, indifferent, gentle and fierce before. She had never seen him so flustered. Even the hands that were holding her seemed to be shaking.
For some reason, she felt like laughing when she saw Su Bi like this.
But she couldn't laugh, because it was too painful. She fumbled with her hanging hands on the ground, subconsciously wanting to hold something tightly to relieve the pain.
Finally she grabbed something, and her consciousness began to blur.
At the last moment before she lost consciousness, she was actually thinking, luckily Su Bi caught her and prevented her from falling in front of so many people...
Seeing Ning Xihua closed her eyes, although Su Bi knew that she just fainted, she couldn't help feeling a wave of fear in her heart.
His mind even went blank for a moment before he realized that he had to take her to see a doctor as soon as possible.
Su Bi protected Ning Xihua with one hand and brandished the sword with the other, his eyes already bloodshot with murderous intent.
After a while, a large number of guards appeared in the forest and surrounded the men in black, and the situation became clear.
It’s Prince Ning, coming with his men.
When Prince Ning saw his concubine was shot by an arrow, his eyes were bloodshot and he rushed forward with a sword in hand.
The battlefield was quickly cleared. Prince Ning originally wanted to keep some people alive, but the captured men in black all committed suicide by taking poison. The bodies of the men in black who came to assassinate him were scattered all over the ground, and no one survived.
Prince Ning was about to take Ning Xihua to check her injuries, but he saw Su Bi directly picked up his daughter, seized a horse, and galloped out.
Prince Ning also hurriedly rode his horse to catch up.
………
In the tent, the imperial physician was sweating profusely.
The person lying on the bed is the only princess of Prince Ning's mansion, the lifesaver who blocked an arrow for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Last time, she was seen calling His Royal Highness "beautiful" in a coquettish way after being poisoned, which shows that she has a close relationship with His Royal Highness.
If something bad happens, I will not be able to face His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Fortunately, Princess Yuexi had a good foundation, and she had no major problems with the most dangerous arrow extraction.
The imperial physician heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his face, and felt temporarily relieved.
"What is the princess holding in her hand?"
Song Yi wiped Ning Xihua's hands and asked in confusion.
The imperial physician looked down and was first puzzled, then shocked, and finally overjoyed.
"Can you show it to me?"
Song Yi nodded and handed the thing that looked like a wild flower in the princess's hand to the imperial physician.
The imperial physician studied it carefully and after confirming it, he felt incredible.
"This is a relatively rare medicinal herb. Since the princess obtained it, it naturally belongs to her. However, the herb needs to be processed as soon as possible to maintain its medicinal properties. Can I take the herb back first and return it to the princess after it is processed?"
Song Yi agreed, saying that medicinal herbs and the like were secondary, the most important thing now was the princess's health.
The imperial physician carefully put away the wild flower, stood up, bowed and reported to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Ning who were waiting outside the tent.
"The arrow in the princess's right chest has been pulled out. Fortunately, the arrow missed her vital part by three points. In addition, the princess has always been in good health, so no serious harm has occurred."
Upon hearing that Ning Xihua was safe, Prince Ning, who had been tensing up all of a sudden, relaxed and for a moment he almost fell down.
The servant beside him hurriedly supported Prince Ning, but Prince Ning ignored him and asked, "Is Xihua okay? Will there be any sequelae?"
The doctor replied respectfully: "The princess may have a fever tonight, but as long as the temperature drops tomorrow morning, it will be fine. As long as you pay attention to recuperation in the future, there will be no sequelae."
When Prince Ning heard that he might have a fever, he became worried again.
He wanted to stay by Ning Xihua's side all night long, but it was inconvenient as the girl had grown up.
He told Song Yi, "Report immediately if anything happens during the night. I will be waiting for news in the next tent."
Turning around, he saw Su Bi still standing there stiffly. Prince Ning was furious, but he couldn't say anything. He just said coldly, "Your Highness, please go back soon. Let the imperial physician check your injuries."
Su Bi also had several cuts on his body, but he had been guarding here since he came back, and the bleeding almost stopped on its own.
Su Bi also knew that it was not convenient to meet Ning Xihua at the moment, so he remained silent for a while, finally thanked King Ning, and turned back to his tent.
The imperial physician followed Su Bi back to the prince's tent. After bandaging Su Bi, he reported in a serious tone what he had just said.
"I discovered that the arrow that shot the princess was not poisonous, but was coated with a compound medicine."
"Medicine?"
"Yes, this concoction is made from a variety of herbs. It is harmless to ordinary people, but it can cause toxic sleep intoxication!"
The opponent was obviously well prepared. Even if the assassination failed, as long as Su Bi was even slightly injured by the poisoned arrow, he would die from another attack of drunkenness in his sleep!
The imperial physician sighed inwardly, fortunately Princess Yuexi blocked the arrow for the Crown Prince, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Thinking of this, he suddenly took out the wild flowers he had collected earlier from his arms and showed them to Su Bi with a little excitement.
"Your Highness, before Princess Yuexi passed out, she accidentally picked up a wild flower from the ground in the dense forest. After repeated confirmation, I found that it was the Hidden Flower that we have been looking for!"
The hidden flower is rare and extremely difficult to find. Because of its ordinary appearance, even experienced pharmacists with decades of experience have difficulty finding it. Although it can be identified after it blooms, its flowering period is uncertain and it is too similar to wild flowers. In addition, it can only retain its medicinal properties when it is picked when it blooms.
Most importantly, this is the last ingredient needed to remove the poison from Su Bi's dream.
The Hidden Face Flower, which had been elusive to the Eastern Palace, the Bai Family, and Master Hui Ku, was unexpectedly found by Princess Yue Xi!
The imperial physician was now impressed. First, she blocked an arrow for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, preventing him from being poisoned, and then she accidentally found the antidote. This Princess Yue Xi was simply the Crown Prince's lucky star!
However, Su Bi did not seem very happy about finding the medicine. He just lowered his head and suddenly thought of what Hui Ku had said before.
"The destined one?"
He muttered to himself, with a dark tide in his eyes.
