Shen Hechuan was locked in combat with one of the men in black.
This person wore a silver mask and moved with fluid grace, demonstrating a level of skill far superior to that of ordinary men in black. Clearly, he was their leader.
While fighting him, Shen Hechuan caught a glimpse of a man in black heading towards Gu Jingchun's back. In a panic, disregarding his own safety, he immediately stabbed at the man's vital points, attempting to finish the fight quickly.
But this also exposed a flaw.
The man in black immediately seized the opportunity, a flash of cold light, and his arrow pierced straight at Shen Hechuan.
"Pfft." Two muffled sounds.
The two longswords pierced each other's bodies at the same time.
The black-clad man's sword pierced Shen Hechuan's shoulder, while Shen Hechuan's sword tip precisely pierced the man's heart.
Shen Hechuan gritted his teeth, pulled out his blood-stained longsword, pressed it against the wound from which blood was gushing out, and kicked the enemy hard.
The man in black collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Ignoring his injuries, Shen Hechuan immediately turned and rushed towards Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun dodged the sword the instant it was thrust at him, pulled out the hairpin from her hair, and immediately activated the mechanism.
The opponent was shot and immediately fell to the ground.
Gu Jinxi witnessed her mother nearly getting into danger. She pouted and angrily grabbed the corpse on the ground as a weapon, swinging it around in a wide arc.
The guards, having already witnessed Gu Jinxi's skill, immediately and swiftly moved away.
But the men in black knew nothing and wanted to take the opportunity to attack the seemingly weak Gu Jinxi.
Unexpectedly, the spinning "corpse weapon" whistled past, and the black-clad man who was hit was immediately sent flying out of control.
One, two, three...
In an instant, most of the men in black were killed.
Gu Jinxi clapped her small hands, her tiny body radiating a fierce anger, which caused the remaining men in black to subconsciously take several steps back.
Shen Hechuan, who originally wanted to come and save Gu Jingchun, saw this scene.
He swallowed hard.
Although he had known about Gu Jinxi's abilities for a long time, it was far less shocking than witnessing it with his own eyes.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the men in black stopped fighting and immediately tried to run away.
Shen Hechuan would naturally not do as they wished.
This time, their numbers were small, and everyone was able to use their hands more skillfully.
In the end, only a few people escaped.
A great battle ended, and everyone was exhausted.
After resting for a while, they began to clean up the battlefield.
Fortunately, they did not suffer many casualties.
Seeing that someone was injured, Doctor Sheng Quan, who had been hiding somewhere, ran out.
He didn't even have time to ask how she was doing; he immediately began treating her injuries.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun belatedly breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Gu Jinxi.
Gu Jinxi also looked up, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
“Mother, this time, Xi’er didn’t fall asleep.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Jinxi's head lolled to the side and she collapsed.
Gu Jingchun quickly helped him up.
At that moment, Doctor Shengquan rushed over, and after taking the pulse, his face immediately lit up with excitement.
He looked at Gu Jingchun.
"This time, did the young master faint later than before?"
Gu Jingchun nodded.
Sheng Quan was overjoyed.
"It's done, it's done."
"My prescription is working."
"If I'm not mistaken, he'll wake up a little earlier this time too."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun looked at Gu Jinxi again, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Very good."
"Does this mean that Seele can live like a normal person in the future?"
Gu Jingchun placed Gu Jinxi in another carriage that was still intact, instructed Xiaoman and Lanxin to keep an eye on her, and then turned around to look around.
Finally, their attention settled on Shen Hechuan.
At this moment, Shen Hechuan was exposing half of his chest, bandaging his wounds himself.
Upon seeing this, Gu Jingchun quickly ran over.
"Are you injured?"
Shen Hechuan gave her a cold look, and the resentment in his heart materialized.
"Um."
Gu Jingchun hadn't expected Shen Hechuan to be injured. He had been focused on Gu Jinxi and hadn't paid any attention to him, so he hadn't noticed his injury.
Gu Jingchun suppressed his guilt and took the gauze from his hand.
"Here, let me help you."
As she spoke, she looked at Shen Hechuan's wound.
His wound was deep, but they only sprinkled some medicine powder on it and didn't do anything special.
Upon seeing this, Gu Jingchun immediately summoned Sheng Quan.
Sheng Quan rushed over with his medicine kit on his back and was immediately shocked when he saw Shen Hechuan's wound.
"Oh dear, how did you get so badly injured?"
As he spoke, he took out various medicines from the medicine box, intending to clean his wounds first.
Sheng Quan took out a strong liquor to disinfect it and looked at Shen Hechuan.
"Your Highness, please bear with it."
As Sheng Quan spoke, Gu Jingchun took out a handkerchief from his pocket and put it in his mouth.
Sheng Quan then quickly poured strong liquor onto his wound.
The intense pain caused Shen Hechuan's veins to bulge, his face to turn red, and cold sweat to pour down his face.
Gu Jingchun felt heartbroken when he saw this.
She gently wiped his sweat, whispering words of comfort.
"Okay, okay, almost done."
They were treating him like a child, trying to coax him.
Shen Hechuan's gaze remained fixed on Gu Jing. Seeing that the concern in her eyes seemed genuine, his brows relaxed slightly.
At this moment, Sheng Quan finished cleaning his wounds.
He took out a bottle of medicine powder and handed it to Gu Jingchun.
