"Oh, just a little bit." Chenchen felt a little sorry as he took back the arrow.
"It's okay, let's move on and see." Wen Yueming comforted.
After walking for a while, Honghui also noticed some movement ahead, so he stopped and gripped the slingshot tightly in his hand.
Then he saw a pheasant appear in the grass. Honghui quickly picked up the slingshot, aimed at the pheasant, and shot it.
It was a direct hit, and the pheasant screamed and jumped up, but because it was hit directly in the vitals, it fell down before it could run far.
"I hit it." Honghui ran over with a smile on his face and tried to pick up the pheasant.
However, at this moment, Xuanxuan, who was closer to him, saw a colorful snake next to him spitting out its tongue towards Honghui.
"Brother, be careful." Xuanxuan's face changed drastically and he shouted, then quickly ran over and pulled him back.
But this action also alarmed the snake. Just as the two of them were running back, the snake slid towards them quickly and bit Xuanxuan's leg.
"Hiss~" Xuanxuan felt a sharp pain in his feet.
However, the speed did not slow down at all, and he quickly left that place with Honghui.
Wen Yueze immediately took out his bow and arrow and shot at the colorful snake, hitting it directly in the vital area and nailing it firmly to the ground.
Then he came to Xuanxuan's side immediately and together with Honghui, they helped Xuanxuan to sit under a tree. They squatted down and lifted up his trouser legs. There were two bloody holes on his legs, and black blood was gurgling out.
Chenchen and the others heard the noise from behind and ran back, and this was the scene they saw.
"What's going on?" Chenchen asked anxiously when he saw them supporting his second brother.
"I was just bitten by a snake I don't know what kind of snake it is."
Wen Yueze frowned, "And this snake should be poisonous."
"What should we do?" Chenchen was a little anxious. He saw that his second prince's face had turned black.
"Second brother, how are you?"
The guards also ran over and everyone surrounded Xuanxuan, their faces looking a little bad.
Xuanxuan wanted to speak, but he didn't even have the strength to speak. His consciousness gradually became blurred and he soon fainted.
"Second brother, second brother..." When everyone saw him faint, the worry on their faces became even more intense.
The leading guard took a look and saw that the man had just fainted. He looked at his wound and said, "The most important thing now is to let the blood out."
The leading guard was obviously very experienced in this kind of thing. He immediately took out a knife and squatted beside Xuanxuan. He tore off a piece of cloth from the bottom of his clothes and tied it tightly around his thigh to prevent the poison from spreading.
Then he took out a dagger and drew a cross on Xuanxuan's wound.
Then squeeze the black blood out of the wound.
Chenchen and the others looked anxious, and Honghui's anxiety was even more obvious, and he felt a little guilty.
After all, Xuanxuan was bitten by the snake just because he was saving her, otherwise he wouldn't have been injured.
After squeezing for a while, the blood finally turned red, but Xuanxuan's face looked even uglier, and his lips had turned black, which was obviously a sign of poisoning.
"Eldest prince, Third prince, we must send Second prince back for treatment now." The leading guard said seriously as he applied the medicine he carried with him to Second Prince.
"Then why are you still standing there? Let's go." Chenchen urged, and wanted to help his second brother.
"I will carry the Second Prince back." The leading guard handed the dagger to the guard beside him, then carried the Second Prince on his back and walked back quickly.
Everyone hurried to catch up. Wen Yueze stopped and turned to look at the snake nailed to the ground by the arrow.
He walked over and found the snake was already dead. He picked up the arrow and the snake along with it and walked back.
Ulanarazir, who was one step behind, saw Wen Yueze coming back with the snake, and a hint of confusion appeared on his face.
"Wen Yueze, what are you doing with that snake?"
"Take it back and have a look. Maybe we can find the antidote in this snake." Even if we can't, we can at least know what kind of poison it is, so that the imperial physician can examine it and prescribe the right medicine.
After all, they had never seen this kind of snake before. Taking it back might help them find the antidote quickly.
Tiantian and Da Gege were barbecuing by the river. When they saw Chenchen and his group coming back, they thought they had caught the prey so quickly.
Just as he was about to shout towards them, he saw the leading guard carrying a person on his back, and that person was Xuanxuan.
Tiantian's face changed and she quickly put down what she was holding and ran over.
"What's going on? What happened to Xuanxuan?" Tiantian saw that Xuanxuan, who was carried on the back of the leading guard, had a pale face, black lips, and fainted.
"He was bitten by a snake. We have to send him back to see the doctor immediately." Chenchen said.
The eldest princess also ran over and covered her mouth in surprise when she saw Xuanxuan's expression at the moment.
"How did you get bit by a snake? Didn't I tell you not to go deep into the woods?"
"It's all my fault. My second brother was bitten by the snake because he was trying to protect me." Honghui felt very guilty.
If I had been more careful at that time, maybe Xuanxuan would not have been bitten by the snake.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Don't blame yourself, big brother. We need to go back and ask the imperial physician to help second brother."
"Yes, Chenchen is right, let's go there quickly now."
Tiantian was worried that if it was too late, Xuanxuan would be in danger.
No one had time to bother with the barbecue. They left two guards here to deal with the aftermath while everyone else hurried back to the courtyard where they lived.
Wen Mianmian did not go out today. The Fourth Master started to get busy again and the children were not at home, so she stayed in the yard alone, drinking tea and chatting with Shancha and the others. Now that the weather was not hot anymore, it was cool sitting in the yard.
Just when they were having a great chat, a servant rushed in.
"Oh no, Concubine..."
Seeing the servant's anxious appearance and muttering bad words, Nanny Song angrily scolded him, "Talk properly. Why are you so anxious? What happened?"
"It's the Second Prince. The Second Prince was bitten by a snake." The servant quickly explained the situation.
"What did you say?" Wen Mianmian stood up in shock, looking at the servant in disbelief, as if something had stabbed her heart.
"What on earth is going on? Why did Second Prince get bit by a snake for no reason?"
"I heard that he was bitten by a poisonous snake while hunting in the woods. When the Second Prince was sent back, he had already fainted. Someone has already gone to call the imperial physician."
Wen Mianmian's legs felt a little weak, but fortunately Shannai, who was standing beside her, supported her in time.
