At this moment, Xiao Zhan's face no longer had the spring-like smile he used to have, and was replaced by icy indifference.

That kind of aura of majesty without even being angry seemed sacred and inviolable, like a real dragon descending and overwhelming all directions.

Such momentum shocked Beiling Emperor. In a trance, he seemed to see the figure of his second brother when he was young, the heir of the true dragon who was the focus of everyone's attention, Xiao Yunjian.

That was a height he could never reach, and it was the only thing he feared.

"Xiao Zhan, what are you doing?"

After a long while, Emperor Beiling came back to his senses. He tried to act like a king and questioned Xiao Zhan loudly.

"Your Highness..." Tieyi was dumbfounded. He had never seen his master like this before.

Even if he was scolded to his face, his master always smiled. This was the first time he had taken real action like today.

It seems that Princess Changle holds a very special position in His Highness's heart.

The Marquis of Zhenbei also saw it and couldn't hide his admiration for Xiao Zhan.

With such courage and strength, His Royal Highness Prince Gong is obviously not an ordinary person and will sooner or later rise to prominence.

Perhaps, I should think carefully about the suggestion he made before.

"Father, although this horse is a good one, if you can't distinguish between friend and foe, keeping it will be a disaster."

Throwing the bloody sword to Tieyi, Xiao Zhan glanced coldly at the Grand Coachman Li Gong, then clasped his hands and continued to speak to Emperor Beiling.

"Changle and I are engaged. She is my future princess consort and will be a member of the Beiling royal family in the future. Anyone who harms her is disrespecting the Beiling royal family and my father. No matter if it's a human or a horse, no one should be spared."

After these words were spoken, Emperor Beiling was speechless.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Emperor Beiling took a deep breath: "What Prince Gong said is not unreasonable. Forget it, it's just a horse, just kill it."

First, the fifth princess became a target, and then the future princess was in danger. After these two things happened, Emperor Beiling suddenly lost interest in the competition.

"Okay, today's competition ends here. I'm tired, so I'll go back and rest first."

Dragging his tired body, Emperor Beiling left the arena, leaving behind a mess for the Queen to clean up.

"Li Gong, find someone to clean this place up. Don't make a mess."

Now that the emperor had left, the queen naturally lost her mood. She ordered people to clean up the place and left, throwing her phoenix robe around her.

Before leaving, he glared at Xiao Zhan fiercely. What a great opportunity for the royal competition to show off, but it was ruined by this brat.

"Let's go too."

Jiang Xue took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped Xiao Zhan's face. The whole handkerchief was soaked with blood, and only then did she wipe the blood off his face.

"Okay, let's go home."

His handsome face smiled again, his eyes full of tenderness.

He stretched out his big hand, grasped Jiang Xue's small hand, and they left the scene together.

Jun Li turned his head stiffly and watched the two people's backs, then slowly withdrew the hand he had just extended.

"Your Highness, the Fifth Princess has been making a fuss and wants to see you."

The attendant reported cautiously, with a hint of trepidation in his voice.

Every time they saw Prince Gong and Princess Changle being close, their highness would be in a bad mood. It just so happened that the Fifth Princess always liked to join in the fun, making the servants suffer as well.

"Go." His voice was hoarse, filled with uncontrollable anger.

Jun Li flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards Xiao Min with big strides.

He couldn't wait any longer, he had to increase his strength quickly and get Jiang Xue back.

Otherwise, if this continues, he will really collapse.

When he returned to Prince Gong's Mansion, Xiao Zhan was covered in horse blood, which shocked the servants.

They gathered around and asked questions one after another, thinking that Xiao Zhan was seriously injured.

The servants didn't feel relieved until Xiao Zhan explained that it was horse blood.

Everyone dispersed and continued with their own work, leaving only two or three people to help Xiao Zhan prepare bathing supplies.

"Okay, go take a shower and change your clothes. I can take care of my injuries."

Seeing Xiao Zhan concentrating on applying medicine and bandaging her wound, Jiang Xue felt warm in her heart.

"There's a lot of sand in the stables. If it gets into your wounds by accident, it could easily get infected. Both of your hands are injured, so it's not easy to handle."

Xiao Zhan stopped only after the last finger was bandaged.

"I didn't expect that His Royal Highness Prince Gong's bandaging skills are quite impressive, even better than Xiaochun Fudong's."

I moved the bandaged finger and found the strength was just right, neither too tight nor too loose.

"I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and getting injured is a common thing. I'm used to bandaging myself." Xiao Zhan said lightly.

Jiang Xue felt a pang of pain in her heart after hearing this. As a prince, he had to bandage his injuries himself. It seemed that Emperor Beiling had no fatherly love for his son at all.

"What's wrong? Did I wrap it too tightly and it hurts you?"

Seeing that she looked like she was about to cry, Xiao Zhan thought that his cooking skills were not good enough and he was strangling her too much.

"It's okay." Jiang Xue shook her head: "I'm here from now on. Your Highness doesn't have to hold on by yourself if you get hurt."

Xiao Zhan was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed.

It seems that his princess has also begun to care about him.

"Well, Your Highness, go change your clothes. You must be uncomfortable with all this horse blood."

Being stared at like that, Jiang Xue felt a little embarrassed. Her cheeks flushed and she gently pushed him away.

"Aren't you coming to help?"

Jiang Xue's rare shy look made Xiao Zhan want to tease her.

"Both of my hands are injured. How can I help you, Your Highness?"

Jiang Xue realized that he was joking, raised her hands wrapped in white cloth, and pretended to be angry.

"Haha, okay, I was just kidding."

Xiao Zhan smiled and put her hand down, helped her tidy up her messy hair, then got up to change clothes and take a shower.

"Xiaochun."

After Xiao Zhan left, Jiang Xue called Xiao Chun and asked seriously, "Did you see the man who pushed me just now?"

Since she could still see the figure when she fell, it means that the man had been standing there after pushing her and did not leave.

"Princess, the wind and sand blinded me at the time, so I only saw the outline of the figure, and I couldn't see its specific appearance clearly."

Xiaochun was a little annoyed. If it weren't for the strong wind and sand, she would never let that man succeed.

"What about Fudong?"

"Look at the back, it's a woman, but I don't know which palace she is from." Fu Dong said.

If you think about it carefully, among the women in the palace, Concubine De is the most likely to have a grudge against her. Today, she designed a plan to have Xiao Min scolded by the Queen, and Concubine De must be furious. If she did it, her motives and reasons are quite sufficient.

However, Concubine De never appeared in the arena again after Xiao Min left, and with her status, she had to be notified by eunuchs when entering or leaving the arena, so even a palace maid could not come in quietly.

From this point of view, Concubine De should not have the opportunity to do it. In this way, everything becomes confusing again. Who else in the palace wants to kill her?
