After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

The wind suddenly picked up, and the sound was very loud, which made people nervous. It's obviously summer, but the wind makes people feel cold, down to their bones.

Yan Mu stood up straight and looked quietly at the emperor a few steps away.

This man was his father. Although he had no feelings for him, he still felt sad for no reason.

The emperor's eyes sharpened, and he raised his hand, and was about to drop it when a fight suddenly broke out outside. Soon the archers on the east and west walls were also pulled down and killed one by one.

There were many people coming, all dressed in short trousers, with red masks on their faces, and holding machetes in their hands. Some of them jumped off the wall, and some broke in through the courtyard gate. The emperor was shocked and quickly called the guards to escort them, but most of the guards were blocked outside and there were only a few in the courtyard.

These people were not very skilled in martial arts, but they were better in numbers. They quickly surrounded the emperor, and the guards around him were outnumbered and fell one after another.

The broadsword was waved in front of his eyes, blood splattered everywhere, and the emperor turned pale with fright, shouting: "Come quickly! Protect me! Protect me!"

But no guards came, and he saw a machete coming towards him. In his shock, a man suddenly jumped in and protected him behind him. At the same time, he caught the knife with his bare hands, then kicked the killer to the ground with a flying kick. on the ground.

The emperor was greatly frightened. Looking at the person in front of him, it was not Yan Mu.

"Lao Qi... you..."

He just wanted to kill him!

"Father, be careful!"

Yan Mu turned around and got entangled with a killer. At this time, another killer came towards the emperor with a machete. He couldn't get away for a while, so he could only hit the emperor and took the knife himself.

The knife struck the shoulder, and the blood immediately stained the front and back. However, he did not panic because of this. He snatched the beheaded head of the killer in front of him and killed both of them at once.

He took the emperor's arm and led him to cut a path and rush toward the front yard.

Along the way, the killers swarmed in and almost formed a human wall, but he waved his machete and broke through layer by layer. The emperor was so shocked that he lost his mind and subconsciously stretched out his hand to grasp Yan Mu's sleeves. At this moment, he could only rely on the son he had never cared about.

Fortunately, the Imperial Guards arrived and quickly took control of the situation.

Yan Mu let go of the emperor's hand and took two steps back, "Father, are you not injured?"

The emperor was shocked and shook his head, "No."

Yan Mu nodded, swayed a few times, and then fell to the ground and passed out.

The emperor looked at Yan Mu, who was covered in wounds from saving him. He didn't need to take action at this time, just ignore him and let him lie here for an hour or two, and the blood would run away.

The leader of the imperial guards came forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I failed to protect your majesty and caused your majesty to be frightened. Your crime deserves death."

The emperor snorted coldly, "You really deserve to die!"

There are so many killers sneaking into the city, and they also know that he will leave the palace tonight, so it is better to ambush them in advance. It can be seen that he has already been surrounded by the opponent's informants. The imperial guards reacted slowly. If it weren't for Yan Mu, he would have been killed by these killers at this moment.

"But let me ask you clearly, who are these killers?"

The Imperial Guard lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to speak for a moment.

"Don't tell me soon!"

"Yes, it's the Red Face Army."

There were riots in the south two years ago, and various small forces sprang up. One of them was the Red Face Army, and many of the people in it were local farmers.

He put Shangguan Xu in charge of wiping out the remnants of the southern forces. He also told him that the rebellion in the south had been completely suppressed, which made him feel at ease. But the red-faced army was still there, and they even killed Shengjing and got in front of him.

The emperor shouted angrily, "Let Shangguan Xu enter the palace immediately. I will question him face to face!"

"Yes." The leader of the Imperial Guard was about to stand up when he saw the Seventh Highness who was still unconscious on the ground, "Your Majesty, these Seventh Highness..."

Should I still kill him?

The emperor looked at Yan Mu, thinking that just now he tried hard to protect himself, saying "Father" in his mouth, his expression was so sincere, he must have really lost his memory. Thinking about myself, there are few people I can trust. Now that even Shangguan Xu is so useless, who can I use in the future?

"Send it back to the palace and let the imperial doctor go over to treat His Majesty the Seventh Prince's injuries."

After Liu Yunxiang coaxed the two children to sleep, he waited in the yard. It was only after midnight that there was any movement in the front yard. Knowing that Yan Mu was injured, she hurried over and saw the imperial guards carrying him in.

At a glance, she saw that his entire upper body was soaked in blood, and he had fainted, and his body couldn't help but sway.

"what happened?"

A guard explained that assassins had entered Foguang Temple tonight, His Royal Highness was injured while protecting the emperor, and the imperial doctor was on his way.

Liu Yunxiang's mind was a little confused for a moment, "Please send His Highness to the backyard first."

After arranging for them to send Yan Mu to Liuyue Pavilion, Liu Yunxiang asked Jin Yan to use money to manage the imperial guards. At this time, the imperial doctor came, and it was Zhou Lihuai, whom he had not seen for more than three years.

"I just heard that Lao Qi came back alive, but why did he get injured again in the blink of an eye?" Zhou Lihuai said as he entered the house. He first saw the blood on Yan Mu's body and shouted, "Are you still alive?"

Liu Yunxiang glared at Zhou Lihuai, "You can shut up if you don't know how to speak."

"I was so excited to see Lao Qi."

When Zhou Lihuai said this, he didn't stop moving. He had already cut Yan Mu's clothes with scissors and started to clean the wounds.

"It's a knife wound, it's quite deep and the bones are broken. You need to take good care of it."

"Why are there so many old scars on his body? They must have been left when he was in Beijin. He must have suffered a lot."

"Hey, my brother couldn't help him, so I feel very sad."

Zhou Lihuai kept talking nonstop and choked up at the end.

"I really thought Lao Qi was dead, so I burned a lot of paper for him towards the north."

Liu Yunxiang felt quite uncomfortable when he heard this. Among the seven brothers, the beggar was the closest to Zhou Lihuai and Yan Mu. The beggar had his own purpose, but in the end he lost his life for Yan Mu. Zhou Lihuai really had no purpose, but he was too weak. He was just an imperial doctor and couldn't help Yan Mu much.

The more Zhou Lihuai talked, the more uncomfortable he became, and tears fell down, all hitting Yan Mu's face.

"Can you...ahem...don't hit me with your tears..."

The sound was weak, but clearly angry.

"Ah, Lao Qi, you're awake!" Zhou Lihuai was overjoyed.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly stepped forward and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yan Mu was really awake, "Mr. Zhou, thank you."

Zhou Lihuai smiled and wiped away his tears, then wrapped the wound with fine cloth, "Thank you for nothing, my brother. But apart from the stab wound on his shoulder, I found that his body was also severely deficient. I will make a prescription and follow this prescription." I need to take good care of him for at least three months. Although he is just suffering from blood loss and qi deficiency, he cannot take it seriously."

Zhou Lihuai left behind a prescription and a bottle of blood-enhancing ginseng pills. Seeing that Yan Mu was no longer in danger, he left.

"Girl, before Dr. Zhou left, he told His Highness to take a blood-enhancing ginseng pill first. Do you want to take it now?" Jin Yan said and took over the bottle of ginseng pills left by Zhou Lihuai.

Liu Yunxiang took it and poured one into her hand. Just as she was about to put it in Yan Mu's mouth, she thought of something and took her hand back.

"Jinyan, take this ginseng and test the poison."

"what?"

"Go."

Zhou Lihuai probably didn't have any bad intentions towards Yan Mu, but they had just returned to Beijing and were new to these people, so they had to be careful because they had different positions after all.

Jinyan took it and ran back in a hurry after a while, "Girl, I melted the ginseng pills into water and fed them to the hens in the outer yard. The hens were poisoned and died."

Liu Yunxiang stiffened and subconsciously looked at Yan Mu.

Yan Mu glanced at her, then closed his eyes, "It seems that many people want to kill me, you must protect me."
