Jiang Wan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Just like in his previous life, Emperor Jingyuan only suffered minor injuries.
However… Jiang Wan frowned slightly and couldn’t help but look back.
Now that they are out of danger, do they need to adopt such a tight defensive posture?
The white mist hadn't dissipated, so she couldn't see Pei Xuan's expression.
His profile was hidden in the thin smoke, his features sharp and cold.
Soon, the Imperial Guards took inventory of all areas in the rear palace.
With the windows wide open, the white smoke gradually dissipated, and the scene before us became clear.
"Sister Jiang!"
Pei Tang was the first to spot Jiang Wan behind the pillar. She quickly ran over and scanned her entire body with concern.
Are you alright?
Song Yu specifically instructed her to protect Jiang Wan, because if anything happened to Jiang Wan, she didn't know how she would explain it to her junior brother.
"I'm fine."
Jiang Wan said.
"Thanks to you for asking His Highness to come and save me, otherwise it would have been really dangerous just now."
Pei Tang frowned.
The situation was chaotic just now, and she didn't even see her brother's men, let alone ask him to protect Sister Jiang.
She opened her mouth, but seeing Pei Xuan's slightly cold expression, she subconsciously stopped herself from speaking: "...It's good that you're alright. Your mother was worried about you too. Come with me."
Pei Tang said as he pulled Jiang Wan forward.
"Father has been injured, and the imperial physician is bandaging him."
Seeing the worry on her face, Jiang Wan comforted her, "The wound on your arm is healing quickly, so the princess need not worry."
Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan, who was following behind, paused slightly.
He remembered that he had not told Jiang Wan where his father was injured.
Pei Tang didn't mention it in his previous words.
How did Jiang Wan find out...?
Pei Xuanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, but quickly regained his composure and silently followed.
Emperor Jingyuan's injuries were indeed not serious; the imperial physicians stopped the bleeding after a few treatments.
A palace maid bowed her head and followed beside the imperial physician, helping to apply medicine and bandage the wound.
Jiang Wan walked closer, her gaze sweeping over the kneeling palace maid, and she paused.
This face was completely unfamiliar; it didn't seem to belong to someone who served the emperor.
She became alert and took a few steps closer to see what the person looked like.
Just then, the palace maid also raised her head, and the two looked at each other.
Jiang Wan suddenly had a premonition and called out, "Your Majesty, be careful!"
The moment the words were spoken, a shocking change occurred.
The palace maid suddenly jumped up from the ground, quickly pulled a dagger from her sleeve, kicked the imperial physician in front of her to the ground, and stabbed at Emperor Jingyuan.
