However, Pei Jinxiao's condition did not improve significantly, and Sheng Yunrong, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, could not help but feel anxious. She found Sheng Hongye and discussed with him, "Brother Sheng, Brother Pei's condition is not optimistic. Should we think of other ways?"
Sheng Hongye pondered for a moment, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Miss Sheng, I heard that there is a magical medicine called "Huitian Pill" that can bring the dead back to life. But this magical medicine is extremely rare, we might as well send someone to look for it."
A glimmer of hope flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes: "Then let's send someone to look for him immediately. No matter what, we must save Brother Pei."
With the efforts of the Sheng family, they finally found the Huitian Pill. Sheng Hongye personally boiled the medicine for Pei Jinxiao, while Sheng Yunrong waited on the side. After Pei Jinxiao took the Huitian Pill, his condition gradually improved, and the Sheng family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After Pei Jinxiao woke up, he looked at Sheng Yunrong and Sheng Hongye with gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you, Miss Sheng and Brother Sheng, you saved my life, I have no way to repay you."
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly: "Brother Pei, you are joking. We are a family. You don't have to be so polite."
Sheng Hongye also smiled: "Brother Pei, from now on, our Sheng Mansion is your home, you don't have to be polite."
…
At night, Sheng Yunrong came to the back garden of Sheng's house alone. She stood in the moonlight with a firm look in her eyes, waiting for the guest to appear.
Sure enough, not long after, a figure slowly appeared in front of Sheng Yunrong. He was wearing a black robe, his face was gloomy, and there was a sly look in his eyes.
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, her plan was already half successful.
"Since you are here, why don't you show yourself?" Sheng Yunrong's voice was cold, with a hint of provocation in her tone.
The man in black robe sneered and slowly walked out of the shadows: "Miss Sheng, you are really smart. Since you already know my identity, there is no need for us to play any tricks anymore."
A cold light flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes. She had no way out. She took a deep breath and prepared for the upcoming battle.
At this moment, Sheng Hongye and Pei Jinxiao suddenly appeared behind Sheng Yunrong. They had firm eyes and serious faces, and were obviously ready for battle.
The black-robed man saw this and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that the Sheng family had already been prepared. He sneered and prepared to take action.
However, at this moment, a cold light suddenly broke through the night sky and headed straight for the man in black robe. The man in black robe was unable to dodge and was hit by the cold light, falling to the ground in pain.
Sheng Yunrong and others breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Sheng Hongye sat in the main seat, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke.
“I don’t know the specific details. I only heard that Prince Jing was seriously injured, but fortunately he was found in time and is now stable.” Sheng Hongye’s answer was a little heavy.
Sheng Yunrong bit her lower lip tightly, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes. She turned to Pei Jinxiao with a hint of expectation in her eyes: "Brother Pei, do you know the details?"
Pei Jinxiao was dressed in white and had an elegant temperament. He nodded gently, his brows revealing deep thought: "Yes, I rushed to the scene immediately after I heard the news. Prince Jing was indeed seriously injured, but he was determined and held on until the rescue arrived."
Sheng Yunrong was horrified when she heard this. She couldn't help but ask, "Then... can his injuries be fully recovered?"
Pei Jinxiao pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. Prince Jing is in good health, but his injuries are too severe and he needs time to recover slowly. As for whether he can fully recover, it is still uncertain."
Sheng Yunrong's heart was as heavy as a stone, and she lowered her head silently. Seeing this, Sheng Hongye comforted her softly, "Rong'er, don't worry too much. Since Brother Pei said so, it means that Prince Jing still has hope. We must believe in him."
Sheng Yunrong raised her head, with a determined light in her eyes: "Yes, brother is right. We all have to believe in Prince Jing."
As night fell, the lights in Sheng Mansion were bright. Sheng Yunrong walked alone in the corridor, with a lot on her mind. She looked up at the sky, only to see the stars, and couldn't help but think of the handsome face of Prince Jing.
"Miss Sheng, it's late. You should go to bed early." A voice came from behind. Sheng Yunrong turned around and saw that it was Pei Jinxiao.
"Brother Pei, why are you here?" Sheng Yunrong was a little surprised.
Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly: "I was taking a walk here and happened to see you here alone. It's late at night and the dew is heavy, be careful not to catch a cold."
Sheng Yunrong felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and she said softly, "Thank you, Brother Pei, for your concern. I was just thinking about Prince Jing."
Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with understanding, and he gently patted Sheng Yunrong's shoulder: "Don't worry, Prince Jing is a lucky man, and he will definitely get through it."
Sheng Yunrong nodded, with a firm light in her eyes: "Yes, I believe him."
The two walked side by side on the corridor, the moonlight shining on them, looking particularly peaceful. Sheng Yunrong couldn't help but ask: "Brother Pei, why do you think Prince Jing was attacked like this?"
Pei Jinxiao frowned slightly and said, "It's hard to say. But I know that Prince Jing is traveling this time to investigate an important case, so this may be related."
A trace of doubt flashed across Sheng Yunrong's eyes: "Investigating the case? Then why was he attacked?"
Pei Jinxiao pondered and said, "The reasons are complicated and cannot be determined yet. But no matter what, we must seek justice for Prince Jing."
Sheng Hongye's expression gradually became serious, and a trace of barely perceptible worry flashed across his eyes. He pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Sister, you are right. The safety of the Sheng Mansion is of great importance. We cannot sit idly by."
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, her eyes firm: "Brother, I know you will support me. So, what should we do next?"
Sheng Hongye thought for a moment and said, "First, we need to find out the truth behind this. Pei Jinxiao is the King of Jing and has a noble status. If he really has something in mind, he must have his reasons. We can't act against him easily."
Sheng Yunrong nodded: "I understand. So, how can we get closer to Pei Jinxiao and understand his true intentions?"
At this time, a servant hurried into the hall and reported: "Miss, Prince Jing is here and is waiting in the front hall."
Sheng Yunrong and Sheng Hongye looked at each other, and both saw the vigilance in each other's eyes. Sheng Yunrong straightened her clothes, winked at Sheng Hongye, and walked out.
In the front hall, Pei Jinxiao stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes were sharp and his temperament was noble. Seeing Sheng Yunrong coming, he smiled slightly and said, "Miss Sheng, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as elegant as ever."
Sheng Yunrong responded calmly: "Your Highness Prince Jing, thank you for your compliment. What brings you to my humble abode today?"
Pei Jinxiao smiled gently: "I just came to see an old friend and learn about the situation in the Sheng Mansion. I heard that Miss Sheng has been quite busy recently. I wonder if you can spare a moment to talk to me?"
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, please."
The two of them sat down, and Sheng Yunrong personally poured a cup of tea for Pei Jinxiao and handed it to him.
