Chapter 56 I'm afraid I can't eat it

The incident happened suddenly, and the speed of arrows from bows and crossbows was even faster, catching people off guard.

When Xiao Jinyan reacted, he saw the arrow hit Shen Chuwei's chest. Her delicate body was swaying like a kite with a broken string, and was about to fall. He held her in his arms in time.

When the assassin realized that the assassination had failed, he quickly withdrew.

Xiao Jinyan did not chase after him. He lowered his head to look at Shen Chuwei's pale face, and his eyes looked at the arrow feather on his chest. The bright red blood dyed his green clothes red.

Stunned for a moment.

Shen Chuwei tightly grasped the arrow feather, raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyan, and said weakly: "Your Highness, am I going to die soon?"

Xiao Jinyan angrily shouted, "Nonsense."

"Your Highness, but I..." Before Shen Chuwei could finish her words, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Jinyan took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the blood from her mouth while saying, "I won't let anything happen to you."

Shen Chuwei grabbed his hand holding the handkerchief and said in an extremely aggrieved tone, "Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't be able to have the tea cake."

It was all because Xiao Jinyan ate her tea cake, which made her die with regret!

Because I didn't eat it, I was always thinking about it.

Xiao Jinyan paused while wiping. It was already so late, and she still wanted to eat?

"When your injury heals, I will buy it for you."

Shen Chuwei coughed up blood in excitement and asked, "Your Highness, do you know where I can buy it?"

Xiao Jinyan saw her vomiting blood again, and frowned: "It's just tea and snacks. I'm the prince, what food can't I buy?"

After Shen Chuwei heard this, he closed his eyes with relief and passed out.

When Xiao Jinyan saw that Shen Chu was slightly dizzy, a hint of panic flashed across his eyes, so fast that he didn't even notice it.

He blew a whistle, and the horse heard it and ran towards this side quickly. He then picked up Shen Chuwei and quickly mounted the horse.

Looking down, she still held the cloth bag tightly in her hand.

He kicked the horse's belly and hurried back to the camp as fast as possible.

Half an hour later, in the tent

Five military doctors surrounded the bed, treating Shen Chuwei, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

A lot of blood was shed when the arrow feathers were pulled out, and the blood had turned black.

Xiao Jinyan stared at the unconscious Shen Chuwei on the bed for a long time. When he saw the black blood, he knew that the arrow feathers were poisonous.

"How is her injury?"

The military doctor replied respectfully: "Your Highness, he has been poisoned by a rare and severe poison. I am powerless to help him."

Xiao Jinyan was furious when he heard this, "If you can't cure her, I will let you die with her!"

The military doctor trembled with fear, "As you command, I will do my best to treat him."

After a long while, the military doctor said with shaking hands: "Your Highness, the poison is spreading too fast. I'm afraid his life cannot be saved."

Xiao Jinyan asked coldly, "What do you mean?"

"Your Highness, this is a deadly poison. I, your humble servant..." The military doctor prostrated himself on the ground in fear.

"Then give her the antidote, or you will be buried with her!"

The military doctors nodded in fear and turned to prepare the antidote.

But it is not so easy to prepare the antidote. The five military doctors whispered to each other about the method.

Xiao Jinyan lifted her skirt and sat down on the edge of the bed, looking down at Shen Chuwei. Her face was pale and her pink lips were a little dry.

He stood up and fetched a cup of tea, handed it to her lips, slowly fed some to her, spilled some, and wiped it clean with a handkerchief.

Several military doctors studied for a long time before formulating a prescription, just to try it out as a last resort.

Qin Xiao prepared the medicine himself.

Wait for Qin Xiao to prepare the medicine and bring it over.

Xiao Jinyan helped Shen Chuwei up and stretched out his hand to Qin Xiao, "I will feed her myself."

Qin Xiao handed the medicine to His Highness and waited on the side. Seeing His Highness's actions, he couldn't help but doubt Shen Chu's identity. How could he allow His Highness to personally serve him and feed him medicine?

Xiao Jinyan brought the steaming hot medicine bowl to his lips and blew on it for a long time. After it cooled down a little, he passed it to Shen Chuwei's mouth. He fed her some, but found that her mouth was tightly closed and she was unwilling to drink.

Because even though some of the water was spilled when I fed her just now, she still drank a little.

Qin Xiao saw Shen Chuwei frowning and couldn't help but remind him, "Your Highness, is the medicine too bitter?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan said gently, "Be obedient. Good medicine tastes bitter. Drink it and you'll be fine."

After saying that, he continued to feed, but the mouth remained tightly closed and did not open, and the medicine dripped from the corners of the mouth.

Qin Xiao and Wei Chi saw this scene. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, who would have known that His Highness could be so gentle at times?

Xiao Jinyan tried several times, but the medicine had already cooled and he couldn't feed it in, so he had to pinch her jaw, force her to open her mouth, and feed the medicine in.

Even so, half of the medicine was still sprinkled.

Shen Chuwei frowned, and when Xiao Jinyan let go of his hand, he spat out the last of the medicine in his mouth.

Xiao Jinyan was angry and helpless when he saw this. "Bring me a cup of warm water."

"Here." Qin Xiao turned around with the empty medicine bowl and took a cup of warm water and handed it to His Highness.

Xiao Jinyan brought the warm water to Shen Chuwei's lips. This time she did not close her mouth. She drank some of the warm water to wash away the bitterness in her mouth.

After feeding her some water, Xiao Jinyan slowly laid Shen Chuwei flat on the bed and covered her with a quilt. When his eyes fell on the injured hand, his movements were much gentler than usual.

Xiao Jinyan's face was gloomy. It had only been two days since the Autumn Hunting Campaign began, and yet attempts to kill him had been made repeatedly. He clenched his fists.

"Weichi, go check."

"Yes." Wei Chi received the order and quickly left the tent.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei who was still unconscious. Her delicate little face was very pale.

Everything that happened today was too sudden, but he saw the scene where Shen Chuwei blocked the arrow for him very clearly.

Almost without hesitation, he blocked the arrow for him.

Xiao Jinyan looked at it for a long time, then stood up and saw the cloth bag on the table. He picked it up, opened it and took a look inside. The Blood Phoenix was flapping its wings and struggling inside.

Shen Chuwei found the precious and rare Blood Phoenix at a glance.

Not only that, he had witnessed with his own eyes how fast the Blood Phoenix flew, but was easily caught by Shen Chuwei.

This is extraordinary luck.

Xiao Jinyan ordered: "Qin Xiao, take good care of her."

Qin Xiao lowered his eyebrows and nodded: "As you command, Your Highness."

After saying this, Xiao Jinyan picked up the cloth bag and went to the emperor's tent.

Xiao Jinyan stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness, I am here to see you, Father."

The emperor was playing chess with Xiao Jinyu, and was a little surprised to see Xiao Jinyan come back so soon.

"Prince, why are you back so early?"

Xiao Jinyan lowered his brows and nodded: "Father, I have captured the Blood Phoenix."

The emperor thought he had misheard, so he tilted his head and asked again uncertainly, "What did you just say?"

Xiao Jinyan repeated, "I have captured the Blood Phoenix."

The emperor was so surprised that he stopped playing chess and turned to look at Xiao Jinyan, impatiently ordering, "Where is the Blood Phoenix?"

Xiao Jinyan took out a cloth bag, untied the knot, and poured the Blood Phoenix out of the bag.

The Blood Phoenix flapped its wings and tried to fly, but couldn't because Shen Chuwei had tied its wings up.

"Father, this is the Blood Phoenix."
