After studying it for a while, Xiangsizi frowned deeply and said, "I really can't tell what kind of medicine is mixed in, but it smells very refreshing and makes one feel clear-headed. It seems to be a medicine that is entirely beneficial to the patient. We can give it a try."
After all, if she didn't try, Ye Qingxue would surely die.
Try it; there's still a glimmer of hope.
Qiu Shen said, "Since we've decided to use the medicine Xiao Bao gave us, we should strictly follow his instructions and use the blood of the deposed crown prince as the medicine. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't achieve the desired effect."
After all, Xiaobao emphasized it thousands upon thousands of times.
Dong Bai said, "I'm going to find the deposed crown prince right now!"
Qiu Shen and Xiang Si Zi nodded emphatically, and Dong Bai immediately went out, mounted his horse, and galloped towards Taoxi Village.
The rest of the people continued to wait at Lixueju.
Not long after, Chunqian and Xialu returned and said, "We can't find any trace of Xiaobao in the vicinity. We've already arranged for everyone in the manor to search for him, but we don't know if we'll get any results!"
Qiu Shen told them what was written on the pills and the note.
They looked at each other, completely baffled. Ye Qingxue was dying, and Xiangsi Zi was helpless. Since they had a method—even if it was absurd—they had no choice but to give it a try.
But soon, Qiu Shen became worried again. The deposed crown prince had gone to Taoxi Village and must be besieged. At this time, it would be very difficult to use the deposed crown prince's blood for medicine.
Hopefully, Dongbai will be able to break in...
Unfortunately, Dongbai soon brought back news that Taoxi Village was in chaos, with blood flowing like a river. She tried everything, but even the deposed crown prince could not get close.
"You are badly injured," Qiu Shen said.
Dong Bai gasped. She had barely gotten close when she was spotted by Empress Shen's men and then chased down as Yun Zhuo's gang.
Those people were vicious and cruel, and they wanted to tear her to pieces. It took her a lot of effort to shake them off and get back.
Xiangsizi treated Dongbai's wounds.
They then used medicine to keep Ye Qingxue alive until she was on her last breath.
Qiu Shen glanced at the sky: "It will be dawn in less than an hour."
They didn't have much time left. Xiao Bao's letter said that they had to finish before the ten days were up, which was before Chen Shi (7-9 AM).
Qiu Shen leaned against the door frame, her eyes lowered in deep thought, wondering what to do, when she suddenly saw Bai Qi lying dejectedly on the ground.
Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "It will be difficult for us to break in and find the deposed crown prince, but if the deposed crown prince knows that his blood can be used as medicine for you, he will lead his men to break out. If we cooperate from the inside and outside, we might be able to succeed!"
Before Dong Bai could even ask, Qiu Shen said, "I'll write a few words and have Bai Qi deliver them to the deposed crown prince. He'll try to break out once he sees the message!"
In the past, Qiu Shen was unsure whether the deposed crown prince would be willing to risk everything for Ye Qingxue. However, after the incident at Zhuhaijian, Qiu Shen believed that if the deposed crown prince learned that his blood could save Ye Qingxue, he would overcome all difficulties to come.
Dong Bai said, "Alright, let's do it this way. I'll take Bai Qi over there. As long as the deposed crown prince tries to break out, I'll be there to meet him!"
Qiu Shen asked worriedly, "Are your injuries... serious?"
Dong Bai said with great bravado, "It's alright, I won't die for now!"
As autumn deepened, he immediately went to write a letter.
After writing, roll it up, put it in a small bamboo tube, and then tie it around Bai Qi's neck.
Patting its head, he said, "If you want your master to come back to life, you must deliver this letter to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Bai Qi darted out, and Dong Bai mounted his horse again and chased after him.
Soon after the sounds of fighting broke out in Taoxi Village, many villagers were awakened and fled in panic. Some were killed and others were wounded during their escape, and blood flowed everywhere.
Before long, flames shot into the sky. It was Empress Shen's men who set the fire, intending to kill the villagers and burn them all down.
Not long after Yun Zhuo and Pan Yuanzhou met, they were surrounded and killed. Many of them were civil officials who had no martial arts skills. If it weren't for Yun Zhuo's rescue, they would probably be beheaded by now.
Yun Zhuo saved several officials, and they finally believed that what Yun Zhuo had said earlier was not a lie!
They began to flee frantically, but there were many assassins.
During their escape, they bumped into many innocent civilians.
The cries of infants and the curses of the elderly bound them back to safety, forcing them to turn back and protect the people.
In the firelight, there was warm blood everywhere, innocent deaths, layers upon layers of corpses, it was... hell on earth.
The civil official was terrified and cursing in his heart: This is hell on earth! This is simply hell on earth!
That damned Prime Minister Ning Hongxi is still yelling at them and the deposed crown prince, accusing them of rebellion and demanding that they surrender obediently or face execution of their entire families!
At such a tense moment, Bai Qi seemed to rush out from the boundless flames and battle, rushing to Yun Zhuo's side and using his claws to tug at the letter on her neck.
Yun Zhuo noticed it immediately, took the letter down and looked at it, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply.
Ning Xun was shocked when he saw Bai Qi.
He recalled how the Luo family had forced Yun Zhuo out of the village. During the capture of Yun Zhuo, he saw two wolves, one gray and one white, acting as husband and wife!
So that's how it is!
Ning Hongxi cursed, "Even if you have the help of the wolf pack, don't even think about escaping. Besides, you only have two wolves right now! Deposed Crown Prince, just surrender obediently, or your mother will be disgraced and humiliated after her death!"
Yun Zhuo's eyes were bloodshot, his knuckles clenched so tightly they cracked, and his killing intent exploded like a raging tide!
"Shut up! You are not worthy to mention my mother!" Yun Zhuo roared, his sword flashing, its cold light cleaving through the night.
He spurred his horse and rode away, his long sword aimed straight at Ning Hongxi's vital point!
