Xia Tong agreed with her words very much, and without caring about anything else, several people quickly rushed out of the room. However, just as they walked out of the box, a group of men in black rushed out from the corridor from nowhere and rushed towards them with knives in their hands!
"Ah! Murder!"
"There's an assassin!"
The lobby was in chaos, with everyone rushing out, making the noise deafening.
"Miss Xia, please come in quickly!" Shen Xin immediately pulled her back into the box.
Xia Tong was thinking this, but just as she retreated to the door of the box, a cold light suddenly flashed before her eyes, her left shoulder suddenly hurt, and the tearing sensation went straight into her nerves. The next moment, a group of men in black pounced on her!
"Miss Xia!"
"master!"
Fang Yu kicked a man in black away and rolled to the side with Xia Tong, but many men in black still chased after them.
Chen Xin had been stabbed twice, her arms were covered in blood, but her eyes were still fixed on Xia Tong. It didn't matter if she died, but she didn't want to implicate innocent people.
Just when a long knife broke through the air and attacked her face, a figure suddenly blocked her way, and several men in black around her flew backwards several meters, wailing continuously.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Xin was startled when he saw the person coming, but there was also a hint of joy on his face. He just moved a little and the wound on his arm hurt so much that he frowned.
Glancing at the wounds on her body, a trace of pity flashed across the man's face, and his attack became more ruthless. He raised his foot and kicked a man in black straight down the lobby, smashing a thick wooden table and chair.
"Miss Xia..." Chen Xin didn't know what she saw, her eyes were fixed on Xia Tong, "Go and save Miss Xia!"
After saying that, the man just glanced over and saw the woman over there was in a stalemate with a man in black, with a dagger stuck in her right shoulder. Seeing this, the man just turned his head indifferently and pretended not to see it. He was already very merciful by not killing the woman, and she still wanted him to save people?
Seeing that he was indifferent, Shen Xin couldn't help but cover the wound and emphasized his tone, "Xiao Ming!"
Their eyes met, and the man's eyes moved slightly. Finally, he compromised and threw a wooden chopstick over, and the assassin fell to the ground immediately.
"What's going on!"
Suddenly many patrolling soldiers came downstairs, and the shopkeeper slowly crawled out from under the table. He pointed to the second floor with sweat on his forehead, and was so scared that he could not speak.
Xia Tong thought that he was going to die young again, but when he saw all the assassins falling to the ground, he was still so scared that he sat there with a pale face.
"Master, you are injured!" Fang Yu exclaimed, and without saying a word, she took out the dagger for her.
If she hadn't said it, Xia Tong wouldn't have noticed it. As soon as she heard it, she quickly lowered her head to look at her left shoulder, only to see a dagger stuck there. Her clothes were all stained with blood, and the pain that penetrated her bones made her nerves tremble.
"Wait... wait... use anesthesia before pulling it out..." She hurriedly stopped Fangyu's behavior, with fine beads of sweat already appearing on her fair neck.
Chen Xin on the other side also came over with a look of concern on her face. When he saw the injuries on her body, a hint of apology flashed in his eyes, "Miss Xia, I'm sorry, it's all my fault that you got hurt, but it's better to treat your injuries as soon as possible to avoid excessive blood loss."
Fang Yu didn't say anything, and silently sprinkled some hemostatic powder on Xia Tong. She had neglected it just now, and now there was no measure. If she pulled it out rashly, it might be dangerous if she didn't clean it up properly afterwards.
"What's going on? You killed these people?!"
The patrolling city guards suddenly came up, and when they saw the corpses all over the ground, they all frowned. This was no small matter!
Xia Tong's face turned pale with pain. Without saying a word, she handed over her badge and helped Fang Yu to stand up slowly. Her body was covered in blood.
Judging from the attire of these people, they were not ordinary people. However, when the leading commander saw the waist badge, he was frightened and immediately bowed, and respectfully handed over the waist badge, "We are late in coming to your rescue, please forgive us, Princess."
"Miss Shen, don't blame yourself. Today was just an accident. Just take care of yourself." After Xia Tong finished speaking, she glanced at the man who had just saved her, and nodded politely, "Thank you for saving me."
The man was dressed in a black robe and looked very noble, but he always gave people a sense of danger. There was no emotion on his handsome face, but rather a gloomy feeling.
"Princess, please take care of yourself." The man opened his lips slightly.
Xia Tong secretly glanced at the man, and suddenly felt a little chill on her back. She stopped talking, supported Fang Yu and walked down. The city guards behind them immediately escorted them around.
Staying away from the heroine is Xia Tong's only wish now.
As the others left, Shen Xin couldn't help but glared at the man and asked, "You're not the kind of person who would stand by and watch someone die without helping. Why do you have such a strong malice towards Miss Xia?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of sarcasm flashed across the man's face. He raised his hand and tightly grasped her arm, saying in a cold voice, "Remember, I only want to let you die, not others."
After saying that, he threw down a bottle of medicine and left with his hands behind his back, looking cold and indifferent.
The wound on Chen Xin's body was not deep, but the pain was obvious. She could only cover the wound and look at the departing figure with complicated eyes. She didn't know what the grudge between Xiao Ming and the Regent was, why he became like a different person every time it came to the Regent, and why did the Regent want to kill her again and again?
——
The study was silent. As the door opened, Xifeng suddenly walked in hurriedly and said respectfully to the man in front of the desk: "Master, the princess was assassinated."
After he finished speaking, the wolf hair in the man's hand paused slightly, his eyes dimmed, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Xifeng had no choice but to continue: "The princess is injured, and the imperial physician has arrived now."
After saying that, the man over there gradually put down the wolf hair brush and slowly stood up, with a hint of impatience in his expression. What a troublesome woman.
"I heard that the princess was assassinated when she met Shen Xin. The assassin did not leave any clues on his body. I don't know whether he came to assassinate the princess or whether Shen Xin caused the trouble. Currently, Shuntian Prefecture is investigating." Xifeng followed behind with a serious expression, but the people in Shuntian Prefecture were all useless and were just going through the motions.
The corridor was empty, the autumn wind was bleak, and the man walked in front at an unhurried pace. Upon hearing this, he tilted his head slightly and opened his thin lips, "Why is she involved with that woman?"
Xifeng shook his head slightly. He also wanted to know what the princess was thinking. She knew that her master didn't like that woman, but she still wanted to get close to her.
When they arrived at the yard where she lived, they saw basins of blood being brought out, which was particularly eye-catching. When the people saw the prince coming, they all stopped and saluted.
As soon as Gu Qin stepped into the door, he saw a scene that made him frown.
“What are you doing!?”
Instantly, the doctor beside the bed knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and tremblingly replied, "Reply... reply to the prince, although the princess's wound is not deep, the dagger must be used quickly, otherwise it may change if it is too late."
The woman on the bed had her clothes open at the right shoulder, her fair skin was stained red with blood, and a dagger was stuck in the joint of her arm. Judging from the depth, the wound was indeed not deep.
"Get out." There was a hint of anger between the man's brows.
In an instant, the imperial physician was so frightened that he tumbled back with his medicine box. The other maids were also so frightened that they dared not stay. Only Fangyu stood there hesitantly. After all, her master's injury could not be delayed any longer.
Although it was very painful, Xia Tong was still conscious. When she saw him driving everyone out, she suddenly panicked. Could it be that the villain was finally going to attack her?
"Your Highness, the master's injury..." Fang Yu knelt on the ground as if she wanted to say something, but when she met the man's cold eyes, she lowered her head and slowly backed away.
"I...I..." Xia Tong struggled to sit up from the bed.
Gu Qin stood beside the bed, looking at her pale little face, his brows furrowed more and more, without saying a word, he raised his hand, grasped the dagger and suddenly pulled it out.
"ah--"
Xia Tong widened her eyes, looking at the "cruel and ruthless" man in front of her in disbelief. Before she could say anything, she fainted from the pain.
Blood dyed her clothes red, and trickles of blood flowed down, looking horrifying. The man frowned and looked at the dagger in his hand with a dim gaze.
Looking at the woman on the bed again, her palm-sized face was pale as a ghost, her lips were tightly pursed, and her clothes were still open at her right shoulder. She had just been seen by an imperial physician. Where had this woman's manners and shame gone?
He pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and strode out of the room. He looked at the large group of people guarding outside, then set his eyes on Fang Yu and said in a slightly cold voice, "You go in."
After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back. Fangyu, who was following behind him, did not dare to delay and rushed into the room immediately.
There was no sunshine today, and the whole sky was gray. Xifeng followed behind with his head down and did not dare to speak. Ever since his master came out from the princess, his hostility suddenly became more severe, and he did not know why.
Looking at the bird that had landed on the rockery not far away, Gu Qin paused, put his hands behind his back and gently stroked the jade ring, "The old man is getting bolder and bolder. Does this mean he doesn't want his son anymore?"
The cold tone made Xifeng feel a chill on his back. He lowered his head and asked with a little doubt: "Master, do you think..."
Gu Qin slowly turned his head, his eyes were cold, and the ring on his hand suddenly turned into powder.
"Only I can destroy my things."
Not daring to say a word, Xifeng swallowed and watched the jade ring that had accompanied its master for several years turn into powder and gradually dissipate in the autumn wind.
——
The night came as expected. When Xia Tong woke up, the wound no longer hurt. Fang Yu said that she had applied pain-relieving powder to her and that her wound was not deep. As long as she rested well, it would scab over in less than ten days.
Having said that, Xia Tong still decided to stay away from the heroine in the future. Her fate as a cannon fodder was still not good enough for the heroine. If she guessed correctly, the man today should be the second male lead Xiao Ming. The other party obviously had ill intentions towards her. Is this the treatment that cannon fodder deserves?
But what is even more terrifying is the actions of today's villain. He wants to kill himself in pain. What a cruel heart!
"In fact, the prince still cares about you very much. Maybe he felt that it would be inconvenient for the imperial physician to be a foreign man, so he did it himself. Otherwise, he would not have let me come in to apply medicine for you." Fang Yu explained while feeding her medicine.
Xia Tong leaned against the head of the bed with her mouth open, snorting coldly. She thought the villain just wanted to hurt her to death!
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Fang Yu sighed inwardly, thinking that her master was really too dissatisfied with the prince.
"But what if I die of pain?" She pursed her lips, the candlelight flickered slightly, and her face was full of indignation. "I think he is torturing me on purpose. I said he was so kind that he would let me go. It turns out he was just waiting here to continue to torture me."
The room was still filled with a faint smell of blood. The moonlight was so strong that it couldn't be blown away even with the windows open. Xia Tong frowned as she drank the bitter medicine, which was so bitter that she almost lost her sense of taste.
Fang Yu shook her head helplessly, not knowing where the princess's weird ideas came from. In fact, it all came down to her just having some dissatisfaction with the prince.
"Where are the candied fruits?" Her whole face was wrinkled with bitterness.
The candlelight flickered, and the room suddenly became quiet. Fang Yu lowered her head evasively, and stammered, "Prince... the prince said... you are not allowed to eat anything today."
