Seeing Ji Wuyu fall down, Ah Xiu's eyes lit up. She seemed about to jump up and rushed forward to push Ji Wuyu's arm, only to find that he still didn't react.
Ah Xiu was overjoyed. She dragged Ji Wuyu to the bed with great effort, and then sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Your Highness, please don't blame me. You forced me to do this."
Ah Xiu kept rambling on and on: "I've followed you for so long, disregarding my own chastity as a woman, but everything changed as soon as that woman came. Why is that?"
“Even if I can’t become the Crown Princess, I can’t be abandoned halfway. I’ve already given so much, Your Highness, why don’t you repay me? Why can’t you see me? What am I really that much worse than Ruan Qing’an? I really don’t understand.”
As if trying to explain all her grievances, Ah Xiu felt very pitiful, her voice was full of sobs, but she was tugging at Ji Wuyu's clothes with her hands.
She bit her lower lip: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, but this time I'll have to take advantage of your kind nature. If I really become your woman, you definitely won't abandon me, if..."
"If one can conceive, the mother's status will rise because of the child..."
Ah Xiu blushed and murmured softly. She climbed onto the bed on all fours, looked at Ji Wuyu, and swallowed nervously.
Ji Wuyu, who was lying unconscious on the bed, had his hand placed to the side behind Ah Xiu's back, and his fingertips trembled slightly—it felt like he was forcibly suppressing the urge to draw his sword.
Just as Ah Xiu couldn't help but want to step forward, the tightly closed door was kicked open with a loud noise. Ah Xiu was so frightened that she almost jumped up and suddenly raised her head.
The person who appeared at the door was none other than Wang Cheng.
But Wang Cheng should be with the army behind them, not here. Ah Xiu felt increasingly uneasy and took a half step back in fright: "Wang, Wang Cheng, why are you here?"
"Get out of the way."
Wang Cheng gripped the knife and stepped forward. The honest expression on his face vanished. He stared intently at Ji Wuyu on the bed and said, "Axiu, get out of here."
"Why did you do this? You gave me the medicine!"
Ah Xiu couldn't help but burst into tears. It was Wang Cheng who gave her the medicine and told her about the plan for tonight, but now he's barging in with a knife. Even if Ah Xiu was stupid, she knew she had been used. Wang Cheng wanted to kill Ji Wuyu!
Wang Cheng scoffed, "If I really liked you, why would I give you medicine and let you sleep with another man?"
Ah Xiu slumped onto the bed, completely stunned. She instinctively tried to stop Ji Wuyu: "Ruan Qing'an and Long San are in the next room, are you going to—"
"Do you really think I'm as stupid as you? I would have blown the drug in through the window a long time ago, and those two are probably still asleep!"
The next moment, Wang Cheng raised his knife high, the tip pointing directly at Ji Wuyu's chest, but then—Ji Wuyu, who had been lying unconscious on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
Before Wang Cheng could react, Ji Wuyu kicked away the troublesome Ah Xiu, then flipped himself up, reached along the edge of the bed, and a long sword, gleaming coldly in the moonlight, appeared in his hand.
Ji Wuyu blocked Wang Cheng's knife with the backhand of his own, and kicked him in the chest. Wang Cheng was sent flying backward and crashed into the edge of the table, but he quickly rolled over, raised his knife, and charged again!
But Ji Wuyu reacted even faster, raising his sword and slashing.
Seeing the two start fighting, Ah Xiu sat on the bed in a daze, completely dumbfounded. But when she came to her senses, she rushed forward and hugged Wang Cheng from behind, saying, "Your Highness, run!"
Wang Cheng was forced to stand frozen in place, almost having his heart pierced by Ji Wuyu's knife. He was covered in cold sweat and kicked Ah Xiu away. Wang Cheng already had many injuries.
Looking at Ji Wuyu standing opposite him, he was completely unharmed.
Wang Cheng's face darkened: "I know I can't beat you, Ji Wuyu, so since you're not poisoned, I won't fight you."
Ji Wuyu narrowed his eyes, and then his ears twitched. He could vaguely hear approaching footsteps, which grew closer and closer. Wang Cheng, who had said he couldn't beat him, charged forward again, looking as if he was determined to keep Ji Wuyu here even if it meant his death.
As the chaotic footsteps drew closer, Ji Wuyu stopped entangled with Wang Cheng and delivered a side kick directly to Wang Cheng's waist!
Ignoring Wang Cheng, who was kicked against the wall, Ji Wuyu broke through the window and escaped. He channeled his inner strength and used his lightness skill to land gracefully.
Meanwhile, inside the inn's rooms, a large number of mysterious people dressed in black appeared, closely following Wang Cheng and immediately chasing after Ji Wuyu, who could only run forward.
Wang Cheng's eyes turned cold, and he sneered, "Heh, I didn't expect that Ji Wuyu, I wouldn't come to assassinate you alone. Today you are doomed, Ji Wuyu!"
“That makes sense. I won’t face the risks alone.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng was taken aback. The next moment, Ji Wuyu, who was in the distance, stopped and turned to look at him. His dark eyes were cold, and even the gentle smile on his lips was like that of a vicious snake that could devour its prey.
As soon as he raised his hand, the pursuers behind him immediately stopped.
Wang Cheng looked around warily, while Ji Wuyu was already standing still, his knuckles gripping his long sword, making a crisp sound.
He said softly, "Once I return to the capital, based on my military achievements, no one will dare to touch me, not even my father. But if I die before I return to the capital, then it's hard to say. The blame can be shifted to Daqing, so—"
"Ambush me on the road, that's the only chance."
Wang Cheng sneered: "Stop playing tricks!"
But his smile vanished almost immediately. The army, which should have been trailing far behind, now surrounded them, clearly having been lying in ambush for a long time.
In the army, Long Sanqing made a path, and Ruan Qing'an, wrapped in a fox fur coat, strolled out. Ji Wuyu, who was standing to the side, casually tossed his knife to someone nearby, while he himself stood beside Ruan Qing'an and tugged at her fox fur coat.
Wang Cheng was completely dumbfounded: "This..."
Ruan Qing'an smiled slightly: "Why don't you go to the room and check if Long San and I are really unconscious?"
"Unfortunately, you're facing two people."
Seeing Ji Wuyu and Ruan Qing'an standing together, Wang Cheng immediately realized that he had been outmaneuvered by these two!
"Go to hell! We might as well die together!"
He roared and charged straight forward—
