The night raid on Liao Yixuan's residence caused quite a stir.
Shangguan Ming, who doted on his daughter, was so frightened that his heart and liver trembled! He spent a lot of money to recruit martial arts masters and hired many casual enthusiasts to pretend to be ordinary people and wander around the mansion. He dared not relax for a moment!
Upon receiving the news, Xiao Ziwu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately rushed over.
At this time, Tianyun had already taken the Qingjie Pill and woke up.
However, she was still recovering from an illness and her body was still relatively weak. Although she had taken the antidote, her head was still a little dizzy.
It was also her own fault for not being careful enough. It's easy to let your guard down when you're in your own home, but she never expected the thief to be so bold as to break into the house with the intention of committing a crime.
"Sweetie, are you feeling alright? Are you hurt anywhere?!"
Xiao Ziwu strode in, covered in dust and frost, still wearing his purple and gold court robes, indicating that he had rushed over.
Tianyun leaned against the couch and looked up.
Despite the cold weather, the man's chiseled face was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and his expression clearly showed his anger and worry.
His tall and handsome figure was clearly revealed by his purple and gold sable court robe with sea dragon pattern. He wore a white jade crown with cloud carvings on his head, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes under his thick eyelashes were sharp and cold, making people dare not look directly at him.
The man slowly approached the petite woman by the bed, all his coldness vanishing in an instant, replaced by endless tenderness and care.
He sat down on the edge of the bed, gently stroking her warm face with his large hand, his voice low and soft, "Were you frightened?"
Tianyun gently shook her head, not wanting him to worry, and reached out to cover his thin, strong hand.
She secretly pondered that the thief had only blown in a sleeping potion, and obviously did not intend to harm her. Therefore, the only possibility was that he wanted to kidnap her.
Moreover, according to Shi Que, there was a group of people lying in ambush outside, ready to help him after he succeeded.
Since it was a gang crime and they were familiar with the terrain and layout of the Siye Mansion, it is highly likely that these thieves were people from the capital, and even people she knew.
The little woman's obedient and docile appearance always softened his heart. Xiao Ziwu's eyes softened, "I have already ordered people to investigate, so don't worry too much."
"If I'm not mistaken, they should have another trick up their sleeve."
Tianyun wasn't particularly afraid. She squeezed the knuckles of his fingers and said, "Father has already strengthened the guards at the manor. If they can't kidnap me by force, they might try to abduct me when I leave the manor."
A cold snort escaped from between his lips, and Xiao Ziwu said, "I will make sure they never return." His fierce aura instantly erupted, and he pulled the little darling into his arms with one hand to comfort him.
In Xiao Ziwu's mind, Lin Ruhong was the prime suspect. He wondered if Lin Ruhong had realized the trickery of the medicine, which was why she wanted to kidnap his precious child!
Tianyun nestled into his warm embrace, quickly filtering and eliminating people in her mind, and soon she had a clue.
Xiao Ziyan had just woken up from his coma. Seeing that His Highness was currently enjoying great power and many ministers had turned to her side, Xiao Ziyan must have felt a sense of crisis. It was not impossible for him to start by targeting her.
After all, he has a long criminal record!
Tianyun had a pretty good idea of how twisted Xiao Ziyan's mind had become. He could tell from that self-portrait that anything His Highness cared about, Xiao Ziyan would do anything to destroy!
Her second suspect was Mu Chengye!
Of all the officials in the court, the only person Shangguan Laodie had ever offended was Mu Chengye, and it cannot be ruled out that Mu Chengye still harbored designs on the hand warmer.
She said in a muffled voice, "I'm afraid this time it's not a sneak attack, but a direct attack..."
Kyoto is indeed fraught with crisis.
※※※※
As she expected, two days later, Mu Yaozhi personally organized a poetry gathering for winter plum blossoms and sent her an invitation to attend.
The Hanmei Poetry Gathering invited many people, including the young prince of Siam who had not yet left Beijing.
These past two days, Tianyun has been diligently refining medicine to treat Shique's internal injuries, with remarkable results. She then refined several more bottles, intending to send them to His Highness in case of emergency.
The moment the invitation to the Hanmei Poetry Gathering arrived, it seemed to confirm Tianyun's earlier suspicions.
However, she still couldn't determine who the real culprit was between Mu Chengye and Xiao Ziyan, since Mu Yaozhi had close relationships with both of them.
Therefore, when Shi Que asked her, "Are you going to the banquet, young lady?" Tianyun answered directly, "Yes!"
How can we find out if we don't go?
What exactly do they want to do?
※※※※
In the evening, Xiao Ziwu came over.
Two bodyguards were brought to protect her near her bedroom, so she could sleep peacefully tonight.
Tianyun put all the pills she had refined into a small package and handed it to him.
Tianyun tilted her head slightly, her jet-black hair fluttering in the wind, brushing against the man's strong, lean forearms, sending a tingling, itchy sensation straight to his heart.
Xiao Ziwu stared intently at the little woman's full, glossy red lips as they opened and closed, carefully pointing to each medicine bottle and explaining, "The red bottle contains pills for internal use, specifically for treating internal injuries. The green bottle contains ointment for external application, which can be used for both internal and external injuries. There are also two small pills in the blue bottle, which are for quickly stopping bleeding. They are extremely potent, but very difficult to refine. Your Highness, please do not use them unless absolutely necessary."
She tucked the small package into his arms.
"Your Highness, please keep this safe. Bumps and bruises are common on the training ground. With my special ointment, you'll recover faster!"
The young woman wore a sweet smile, but her soft eyes revealed a hint of smugness, a desire for praise and compliments.
Xiao Ziwu's eyes darkened—
