In the pitch-black night, in the drizzling rain.
Two women were fighting in the street, oblivious to everyone around them.
Rouge suddenly frowned, a hidden weapon appeared at her fingertips, and a sinister smile appeared on her lips. She then threw it at Luo Zhiwan.
Luo Zhiwan dodged the first hidden weapon flying towards her with alertness, but did not notice that Yan Zhi had a similar hidden weapon in her other hand.
She dodged the first one, but couldn't dodge the second. That hidden weapon struck her left upper arm without warning.
Seeing that she had been hit by a hidden weapon, Rouge raised her hand to wipe the rain from her face and, through the rain, warned:
"Luo Zhiwan, I'll let you go today, but in three days you'll be seeing the King of Hell, hahaha..."
Leaving those words behind, she vanished into the rainy night.
Luo Zhiwan felt a sharp pain in her arm where she had been hit by the hidden weapon, followed by a feeling of dizziness.
Without thinking twice, she ran quickly to the backyard and staggered back to her room.
Zhiruo was startled awake. When she saw Zhiwan struggling to walk towards the bed, she panicked and scrambled out of bed.
"Big sister, what's wrong with you?"
"Zhiruo, an assassin just came. I might have been poisoned. Quickly, go and call Father, and bring me my knife..."
After saying that, she felt a tightness in her chest and shortness of breath, and her whole body felt weak and she wanted to collapse to the ground.
With Zhiruo's help, she lay down on the bed, and Zhiruo rushed out in a hurry.
When Luo Tianhe and Jiawang's mother arrived, she had already climbed into bed, her forehead covered in sweat.
"Zhiwan, what's wrong? What happened to you?"
"Dad, I think I've been poisoned. Quick, get my set of knives and cut off the poisoned flesh from my arm."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianhe immediately shook his head, his hands trembling.
"This won't do! Someone could die! I can't bring myself to do it!"
After saying this, he instructed Jiawang, who had run over after him:
"Quickly go to the Crown Prince's residence to report this..."
"No need, he's not in the Crown Prince's residence."
"Then let's go to the military camp. Zhiwan is so badly injured, we can't leave her uninformed."
Jiawang nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, okay, I'll go right now, I'll go right now."
Zhiwan, panting heavily, weakly opened her mouth and said:
"Father, hurry! Only by removing the poison from my body can I save my life. It will be too late if we wait any longer."
"But...but Father can't bring himself to do it!"
Holding the set of knives, Zhiruo pleaded through gritted teeth.
"Father, I've seen my eldest sister treat other people's injuries like this before, so please do it!"
Jiawang's mother was also there, crying and trying to persuade him through tears.
"Tianhe, just do it. What if something really happens to Zhiwan?"
"But this hurts so much, how can I do it!"
"father……"
Luo Zhiwan, panting heavily, used all her strength to remind him.
"No one can save me now, only you. I'm not afraid of pain. What's a little pain compared to saving my life..."
Before Luo Tianhe could hesitate any longer, Zhiruo had already shoved a knife, disinfected with alcohol, into his hand.
"Father, I'm entrusting my eldest sister's life to you."
"Tianhe, let's do it!"
Luo Tianhe's forehead began to sweat, and his whole body was trembling.
He gripped the knife tightly, his nerves stretched to the limit.
"Zhiwan, Father...Father is scared..."
She gave him a reassuring smile.
"Father, don't be afraid. If you don't act ruthlessly today, I will die tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianhe bit his lip hard and nodded emphatically.
"I, Luo Tianhe, have been selling medicine for many years. Today, for my daughter, I'm going back to being a doctor."
After saying this, he asked Jiawang's mother to help him cut open the clothes around the hidden weapon, then gritted his teeth and said hatefully:
"Zhiwan, you have to hold on."
Zhiwan pulled the blanket over her mouth and nodded heavily.
Luo Tianhe took the sharp blade and began to cut the flesh off her arm.
She was sweating profusely from the pain, her muscles tense all over, but she dared not make a sound, afraid that if she screamed, she would frighten Luo Tianhe.
She was also afraid that if she cried out, her father would stop what he was doing, and the poison on the hidden weapon would dissolve into her bloodstream. So, she could only endure it.
Yiming woke up at this time. When he entered the room and saw the scene in front of him, he was so frightened that he shrank back. Just as he was about to go forward to ask, Jiawang's mother pulled him away.
Jiawang's mother pulled him outside and comforted him, her voice choked with sobs:
“Your mother has been poisoned. Your grandfather is cleaning her up. Don’t make a sound and don’t distract him.”
"But...but Mother will be in pain..."
As he said those words, tears streamed down Yiming's face.
"Grandma, who hurt my mother?"
"Grandma doesn't know either, but right now we need to clean the poison out of your mother's wound first. Don't make a sound, okay?"
Yiming pursed his lips and nodded heavily.
"Okay, can I peek here?"
Jiawang's mother stroked his head tenderly, "Alright, just don't make a sound..."
After leaving home, Jiawang mounted his horse and headed straight for the military camp.
It's raining today, and the military camp is under extra security, probably to prevent foreign enemies from taking the opportunity to invade!
"Your Highness, I need to find Your Highness."
As Jiawang arrived at the door, he wiped the rain off his face and shouted loudly to the guards at the entrance.
The guard in the raincoat glanced at Jiawang, who was soaked to the bone, and impatiently raised his hand to shoo him away.
"Go back to where you came from. In this heavy rain, the Crown Prince has no time to bother with you."
