At this critical juncture, Chi Jingyu desperately wanted to avoid trouble, but he had no choice. Yan Xingzhou's men held knives to his neck, leaving him with no choice but to take them in.
But right now, one problem after another is arising.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Xingzhou's subordinate came out from inside: "Your Highness, are you just going to stand by and watch His Highness's life hang by a thread?"
Yan Huai's arrow was extremely dangerous. The doctor said that if it had been even half an inch off, it would have damaged his heart, and even a miracle worker would not have been able to save him!
Even so, Yan Xingzhou is still not out of danger. He is currently being kept alive by ginseng, and his injuries need to be treated as soon as possible!
Chi Jingyu thought to himself, if the Third Prince hadn't acted impulsively, he wouldn't have ended up like this, so how can you blame him?
But he certainly couldn't reveal his true thoughts to this group of uninvited guests, otherwise, these people might resort to desperate measures, and who knows what might happen...
Chi Jingyu's eyes flickered with emotions, but finally his gaze settled, and he said in a complicated tone, "Now that things have come to this, I can only try my best."

"Sister-in-law, what was that path you mentioned yesterday?"
Early in the morning, Feng Zhiwen went out with Shen Tangning, feeling somewhat uneasy.
He was in a state of dejection all day long, and he hated his own worthlessness, especially his father's hesitant look.
He used to desperately want to take the imperial examination and enter officialdom, but now he never mentions it, as if he is afraid of hurting his self-esteem. As long as he can live peacefully, that is already his greatest wish.
However, this protective approach deeply hurt Feng Zhiwen's heart. He couldn't wait to prove himself and that he was not a useless person!
But he was also vaguely apprehensive, fearing that her method might not be suitable for him.
Shen Tangning looked up at him: "Are you afraid I'll sell you off?"
Feng Zhiwen shook his head, the corners of his lips curving downwards: "I wouldn't fetch much money looking like this."
This is a common problem for people who have experienced great changes; they can't find their self-worth. She didn't say anything to comfort him, but simply said calmly, "Come with me."
They arrived at a teahouse, and seeing Shen Tangning sit down, Feng Zhiwen obediently followed suit.
She remained calm and composed, drinking her tea without uttering a word since she came in.
Feng Zhiwen glanced at her silently a few times, his feelings quite complicated.
A short while later, a tall, burly man with a thick beard and a fierce appearance strode in. He looked around, his eyes filled with a bandit-like air, making him look like someone not to be trifled with.
Feng Zhiwen didn't think that such a person would have any connection with Shen Tangning until he saw him look around and stop in their direction, and walk over with a calm expression. He couldn't help but show surprise.
The man laughed heartily twice, then sat down in front of them. The thuggish air in his eyes had softened considerably. "When I suddenly received Miss Shen's invitation, I almost thought I was seeing things. I didn't expect it to really be you!"
"Chief镖师 Zhao, it's been a long time." Shen Tangning smiled warmly.
Unbeknownst to Feng Zhiwen, the person sitting opposite him was the leader of the largest bodyguard team in Yanjing and even the entire Daqing. He suppressed his surprise and sat quietly to listen to their conversation.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, before the other person could speak, Shen Tangning directly stated her purpose. She raised her eyes and stared straight at the person opposite her: "Do you still remember what I said back then?"
Zhao, the镖头 (bodyguard), straightened his expression and slowly said, "If you have come to me on your own initiative, it means you want me to do something for you."
