Ah Man witnessed Li Rui's tragic fall from his horse. She gritted her teeth as she watched the dagger pierce deeply into Li Rui's back, staining his clothes with blood, and he fell powerlessly on the muddy official road. Ah Man's eyes were burning with anger. She quickly drew the soft sword at her waist and tried to fight back, but was suppressed by the assassin who had been ambushed. Ah Man was in good shape and had great martial arts skills, but she was outnumbered and could only try her best to protect Li Rui.

The trees on both sides of the official road were tall and dense, blocking out the sun and creating a chilly and gloomy scene. At this time, the setting sun shone through the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground, further highlighting this tragic scene.

At the same time, Lin Qingya was rushing to the designated location, but unexpectedly found that Li Rui's guards were fleeing in panic, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart. She turned her horse's head and quickly rushed to the scene of the incident. She would never allow anyone to harm Li Rui, because he was not only her ally, but also the person she loved.

When Lin Qingya rushed over, Li Rui was already dying, and Ah Man was covered in wounds, but he was still guarding him closely. Lin Qingya didn't bother to check the surrounding environment, and immediately went forward to check Li Rui's injuries. She thought about it and used her superb medical skills to quickly seal the acupuncture points on Ah Man's body to slow down the bleeding rate. "Ah Man, go and notify the imperial guards!" Lin Qingya ordered, her tone cold and decisive. Her slender fingers flexibly flew over Li Rui's wounds, her technique was precise and neat.

Ah Man responded, and his figure swept through the woods like the wind and disappeared into the night.

While treating Li Rui's wound, Lin Qingya carefully checked the surrounding environment. The scattered daggers and obvious signs of fighting on the ground showed that this was a carefully planned assassination. The cold wind blew Lin Qingya's hair and made her feel the coldness of the night. But her eyes were firm and she didn't hesitate at all. She focused on treating Li Rui's wounds.

"Your Highness..." Li Rui's voice was extremely weak, and his breath was barely noticeable. He tried hard to open his eyes and look at Lin Qingya.

Lin Qingya gently held Li Rui's hand and soothed him, "Don't say anything, I'll save you now." Her movements were gentle and firm, which gave Li Rui great comfort.

After several hours of treatment, Li Rui was finally out of danger. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Qingya who was close to him, his eyes full of gratitude and admiration. Lin Qingya put away the silver needle, wiped her bloody hands, and breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and walked aside, throwing away her bloodstained clothes.

"You...you saved me..." Li Rui's voice was still weak, but it was filled with genuine emotion.

Lin Qingya smiled slightly and said nothing more, "Just take care of yourself and leave the rest to me."

Li Rui looked at Lin Qingya's back, his eyes full of tenderness and admiration. He closed his eyes gently, feeling the joy of surviving this disaster.

The cold north wind was still howling, rolling up dead branches and leaves and hitting the red-red door of the Lin Mansion, making a creaking sound. Li Rui had been placed in a secluded compartment to recuperate, and Lin Qingya left quietly. She changed into simple men's clothes, wrapped herself tightly, revealing only a pair of cold and sharp eyes. She mounted the prepared horse, and the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away and disappeared into the vast night, leaving only the empty Lin Mansion shivering in the cold wind.

Qingya rushed all the way to the royal city. She had already made a plan in her mind. Li Chengqian's wolfish ambitions had not been formed overnight, and this assassination of Li Rui was another step in his attempt to seize power. She wanted to see with her own eyes what kind of venomous heart this seemingly gentle prince had.

The lights in the royal city were bright, but they could not conceal the murderous intentions. Qingya easily sneaked into the inner court of the royal palace with her skilled skills. She strolled along the long corridors, occasionally meeting patrolling guards, who walked hurriedly and looked serious, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere. She quietly used her mind reading skills to screen the thoughts of everyone passing by her, looking for clues to Li Chengqian's actions.

"How audacious." A slightly hoarse voice sounded. Qingya looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man in casual clothes standing not far away with deep eyes. He was the chief doctor of the Imperial Hospital, Xie Zhongnian, an old official who had some complaints about Li Chengqian. He smiled contemptuously, "The prince dared to assassinate the prince so blatantly. He really wants his life to be long." As he spoke, he stroked his gray beard, his tone full of helplessness and disappointment.

Xie Zhongnian did not mean to stop Qingya, but instead gave her a meaningful look. Qingya nodded slightly to show her gratitude and continued her exploration.

Outside the palace, she caught Li Chengqian's restless mood, "...Li Rui must be eliminated as soon as possible...If father finds out about this...the consequences will be disastrous..." Her voice trembled wildly, while her strategist coldly analyzed the situation and calmly added some details. Qingya's mouth curled up with a sneer - it was because of this rush to achieve success that the flaws were left behind.

She quietly sneaked into Li Chengqian's study and read the scattered memorials on the table. The evidence pointed to the fact that Li Chengqian planned to assassinate Li Rui and tried to frame the emperor. Qingya quietly replaced the key memorials with her forged versions. These forged memorials pointed the finger at Li Chengqian's most loyal confidants, thus distracting his attention.

It was already dawn when they returned to Li Rui's room. Qingya handed the collected evidence to Ah Man who had been waiting for a long time, "Give these to the commander of the imperial army, remember, be quick!" She said firmly with bright eyes.

Ah Man took the secret letter, her eyes flashed with determination, and she quickly ran towards the Imperial Army camp, her steps firm and light.
