Chapter 866: It’s My Failure That Has Dragged Down My Fifth Brother
Even though Mo Jinchuan was sitting in a wheelchair and was the only one left on the battlefield, it was enough to scare the Liang army who came to support him.
They shouted "Kill him", but no one dared to actually ride forward.
The leading general didn't even dare to order the men to be captured alive. He simply raised his hand and shouted coldly, "Shoot!"
Dense arrows flew through the air.
Song Yanxi rushed forward to block it, but the sharp arrow still pierced Mo Jinchuan's chest, and the splattering blood formed plum blossoms on his silver armor.
He slowly closed his eyes, a faint smile on his lips.
When Song Yanxi woke up from the dream, her whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and she looked like she had been fished out of the water.
There was only one thought left in her mind.
That was not a dream.
Rather, it was the final outcome of Mo Jinchuan in his previous life.
The tattered weapons and the inferior armor on the soldiers were all the death traps they had set for him long ago.
Those people never thought about letting him go back alive.
Even if doing so would lead to the loss of border towns and even cause the people in several nearby cities to live in dire straits, they didn't care.
When Song Yanxi thought about how Mo Jinchuan ended up like that, most likely because he wanted to overturn the Yan family's verdict, her nose felt sour and her heart tightened.
He was obviously of noble status and had made great achievements in the past. Even if the new king, King An, did not have a true brotherly relationship with him, he would not easily cause trouble for him.
In order to win the hearts of the people, they would even deify him, a hero in the eyes of the people, so that he could spend his old age in peace and security.
But for the sake of the Yan family, he ended up with his heart pierced by thousands of arrows.
This time, she would never allow anyone to harm or hurt him again.
Song Yanxi took a deep breath, clenched the umbrella handle in her hand, and rushed into the rain.

"You are a bunch of useless people. If you can't find the prince, you will have to report to His Majesty with your heads on your shoulders!"
Dehai knocked down the umbrella held by Xiao Hongzi and said angrily, "You should follow him and look for him. If anything happens to His Royal Highness Prince Jin, our lives will end here."
Little Hongzi bent down to pick up the umbrella, and caught a glimpse of Song Yanxi's figure in his peripheral vision. He quickly turned around and said, "Godfather, the princess is here."
Dehai was already furious, and the rain chilled him to the bone. He shouted angrily, "Who cares if he's a princess or not? If we can't find the prince, we're all pigs!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and his eyes instantly turned red.
Dehai took a few quick steps in the rain and said anxiously, "The princess is finally here."
He gestured to invite him in. "His Royal Highness Prince Xuan has a persistent high fever and refuses to return to the palace. Imperial Physician Wang is treating him inside."
Song Yanxi didn't move. "The royal doctor is very skilled. It's a good idea for His Highness Prince Xuan to have him by his side."
Seeing that Dehai wanted to say something, she said bluntly: "I am here to look for His Royal Highness Prince Jin."
She is a good doctor and also Mo Jinchuan's fiancée.
If she really encounters a matter of life and death, she will not sit idly by.
But since King Xuan already had a royal physician accompanying him, she naturally had to put her own affairs first.
"This..." Dehai sighed softly, not knowing how to start.
Not missing the flash of pain in his eyes, Song Yanxi said coldly: "Your Highness is a lucky man, and nothing will happen to him."
Dehai quickly said, "The princess is right. His Royal Highness Prince Jin has been blessed since he was young. No matter what happens, he can always turn misfortune into fortune."
He forced a smile, but his words were clearly lacking in confidence.
All the available people in the capital were called in, and they searched around the river for two or three hours, but they couldn't even find a trace of the prince.
The river was rushing fast, and if the prince had lost consciousness, he would have been swept away to an unknown distance.
Even if it can be found in the end, the result may not be satisfactory.
Dehai only dared to think about these words in his heart and did not dare to show them on his face.
When he thought about their wedding date next month, his eyes suddenly became redder.
Knowing that he couldn't get anything out of her, Song Yanxi decided to go find it on her own. When she turned around, she happened to see a face that looked 30% similar to Mo Jinchuan.
The owner of that face had bloodshot eyes and spoke in an unusually hoarse voice, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry.
It was my fault that I failed to hold on to my fifth brother, ahem…"
Mo Wenjing coughed violently twice, looking so weak that he seemed like he would fall down if the wind blew.
Facing those eyes filled with guilt, Song Yanxi said coldly, "Your Highness, you are too kind. His Highness Prince Jin and I are not married yet, so I cannot bear the title of Fifth Sister-in-law."
Although it was the first time they met today, her intuition told her that she didn't like this person.
It was also a relatively intimate name, and when it came out of Mo Yingxue's mouth, she just felt that the little girl was frank and cute.
But when it came to King Xuan, she just felt that at his age, he shouldn't be so ignorant of the rules.
She had heard from the prince before that the two brothers were actually born on the same day, and even their birth times were almost the same.
It was just that Emperor Xuande happened to be in the palace of Prince Xuan's mother at that time, and he was the first one to see him, so he let him line up in front.
After all, King Xuan was almost 30 years old. Even if he was eating, drinking and having fun while traveling, he had not yet memorized all the rules he had learned in the palace since childhood.
So even if his words "sister-in-law" were not intentional humiliation, they did contain a sense of contempt.
Dehai's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried over to support him and said, "Your Highness is still running a high fever, how can he go out to get some fresh air?
Quick, I will help you go back and rest."
Mo Wenjing shook his head, his pale face full of regret. "Fifth brother fell because he was trying to save me, and he can't swim. What if something happens to him..."
Before he could finish his words, he coughed violently twice and his whole body was swaying in the heavy rain.
Imperial Physician Wang chased after him, holding an umbrella. His face was livid as he said, "Your Highness Prince Xuan is still running a high fever. How can you play with your own life?"
Only after he finished speaking did he see Song Yanxi standing next to him, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
The old man took a few quick steps and said excitedly, "The princess has arrived just in time."
Before he could speak again, Song Yanxi said, "I'll trouble you, Doctor Wang, to take care of His Royal Highness Prince Xuan. I'll go downstream to look for His Royal Highness Prince Jin."
Doctor Wang's eyes were filled with worry. "It's raining so hard, and the princess is a girl. If she gets bumped or hurt, how will I explain to Prince Jin?"
Mo Wenjing said, "I'll go look for her with Princess Yong'an."
Facing Song Yanxi's inquiring eyes, he explained weakly, "Fifth brother accidentally fell into the water because he was trying to save me.
I have to see with my own eyes that he returns safely, otherwise how can I feel at ease? "
Doctor Wang immediately stopped him, saying, "Absolutely not!"
He said in a firm tone, "His Royal Highness Prince Xuan just choked on water and has a high fever. How can he go to search for His Royal Highness Prince Jin?"
To put it bluntly, if the person is not found by the time, the people in charge of the search will have to carry him back first.
Isn't this obviously causing more trouble?
Mo Wenjing frowned and was about to say something, but out of the corner of his eye he saw that Song Yanxi had already left.
Looking at that slender figure, his eyes darkened and he said in frustration, "It's all because of my incompetence that I've dragged down my fifth brother."
Dehai hurriedly advised, "Your Highness, you are too kind. When you were traveling abroad, His Majesty and the Prince often talked about you."
"Really?" Mo Wenjing laughed self-deprecatingly, "I thought they had long forgotten about me."
