She asked tentatively, hoping to get a negative answer from An Qingyan.

But the result disappointed her. An Qingyan closed her eyes and nodded gently: "There was a sudden chaos in the northern circle. His Royal Highness Prince Gong is missing. Now the Yulin Cavalry is looking for him everywhere. I believe there will be news soon."

An Qingyan comforted.

"Chaos..." After hearing An Qingyan's words, Jiang Xue repeated in a low voice: "The northern enclosure has always been desolate, how could chaos suddenly appear?"

"It is said that a cheetah that His Royal Highness Prince Huan was hunting broke into the northern enclosure, disrupting His Royal Highness Prince Gong's hunting activities."

An Qingyan said that she didn't believe this statement at all.

Xiao Huan occupied the enclosure in the south, which was the farthest from Xiao Zhan in terms of geographical location.

Although the cheetah runs fast and has strong explosive power, its endurance is limited. It is impossible for it to run all the way from south to north.

Although An Qingyan had a disability, she had read a lot of books and had a thorough understanding of the habits of these animals. After hearing Xiao Huan's explanation, she immediately judged that he was lying.

When Xiao Huan was tried, she and Marquis Yong'an attended the court as witnesses.

So she knew very well how much Xiao Huan hated Xiao Zhan.

The accident that happened to His Royal Highness Prince Gong this time was most likely caused by Xiao Huan.

“Cheetah? Ha, it seems that Xiao Huan had planned it from the beginning, to force Yun Che into a desperate situation during the hunt.”

Jiang Xue is a smart person, how could she not see that all this was Xiao Huan's conspiracy.

The image of Xiao Zhan, dying and covered in blood, in the dream appeared in his mind again.

Her heart suddenly tightened.

Could it be that the dream just now was foreshadowing something?

"Princess Gong, ladies, General Nan is back."

At this time, a little girl ran over hurriedly and reported the news that Nan Jingxing had returned to the enclosure.

This girl was with Lu Linyi, and Lu Linyi would definitely not miss any news about Nan Jingxing. Now only the girl came back, but Lu Linyi was not there, which made Jiang Xue feel depressed.

"Where is my cousin?" Jiang Xue asked.

"Reporting to Princess Gong, General Nan was seriously injured. The young lady was very worried, so she asked me to come back and report, and she went to take care of General Nan alone." The little girl replied.

The little girl's words changed the expressions of the women present, especially Jiang Xue, whose already furrowed brows furrowed even tighter.

She knew Nan Jingxing's kung fu. In Yujing City, there were only a handful of people who could compete with him.

Now he is seriously injured, he must have encountered some powerful character.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Things were getting more and more serious, and Mrs. Wan had a feeling that a storm was coming.

She looked at Jiang Xue's heavy expression and suggested softly.

"Yeah." Jiang Xue nodded, and went to the room where Nan Jingxing was with the two ladies and Xiao Gui.

As soon as I arrived outside Nan Jingxing's room, before I even entered, I saw the imperial doctors coming in and out, busy as a bee.

Seeing Jiang Xue and the other three arrive, they hurriedly saluted and continued to busy themselves with treating and changing the dressings for Nan Jingxing.

"How is General Nan doing?"

As soon as she entered the room, Jiang Xue saw Lu Linyi who was helping to take care of the child, and she went up to him to inquire about the situation.

"The bleeding couldn't be stopped. He was stabbed more than a dozen times on the back, and each wound was deep to the bone..."

When she said this, Lu Linyi's throat choked up a little. She felt heartbroken seeing her beloved suffer like this.

"Xiaoxue, I know you are still very weak, but could you please help General Nan and stop the bleeding? I'm afraid if we delay any longer, he will die."

Holding Jiang Xue's hand tightly, Lu Linyi pleaded apologetically.

The doctors in the Imperial Hospital were afraid of taking responsibility and were only willing to take the safest approach, but this did not alleviate Nan Jingxing's pain. Seeing the basins of blood being carried out, Lu Linyi felt like a knife was cutting her heart. If there was really no other way, she would not want to worry about Jiang Xue, who was still recovering.

Seeing her cousin's anxious and painful expression, Jiang Xue felt the same way.

Am I not also anxious and worried about the person I love right now?

"Don't worry, cousin. Leave it to me." Jiang Xue solemnly made the promise and pushed away the imperial doctors around her to treat Nan herself.

She concentrated on holding the golden needle and inserted it into each acupuncture point decisively and quickly.

The imperial doctors around were watching nervously.

Everyone admired Jiang Xue's acupuncture skills, but at the same time they were worried about her bold plan.

Because the acupoints she chose are critical areas of life and death, every bit of strength and every acupoint must be extremely precise.

If Nan Jingxing is not careful, his life may be in danger.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Jiang Xue pulled out the last needle, Nan Jingxing hummed softly and slowly opened his eyes.

"The bleeding has stopped, and General Nan has woken up."

I don't know which imperial physician cried out in surprise, and everyone who had been holding their breath breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Linyi's hands, which were clenched tightly on his chest, finally relaxed, and the expression on his face also eased a lot.

"Give me the medicine." Jiang Xue gave an order, and the imperial physician immediately handed the medicine to her.

She personally applied medicine to Nan Jingxing and asked the imperial doctors to bandage his wounds.

"Thank you, Princess Gong..."

Nan Jingxing, who was lying on the bed, wanted to stand up and salute to express his gratitude, but was held down by Jiang Xue.

"General Nan is injured. Don't move. Be careful not to open the wound."

After he was completely bandaged, she continued to ask: "General Nan, do you know how my prince is doing now?"

She was now eager to know about Xiao Zhan's situation.

"..." Nan Jingxing lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then replied to Jiang Xue with guilt: "It was Jingxing who was incompetent and failed to protect His Highness."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Xue felt as if she was struck by lightning.

What he means is...

Anxiety and fear instantly struck her heart, and her body shook violently twice, frightening Lu Linyi and Xiao Gui so much that they immediately stepped forward to support her.

"Fourth sister-in-law."

"Little Snow."

The two of them stood on her left and right, watching her face becoming increasingly paler with worry.

"General Nan, please explain the matter in detail. You are so vague that the princess is really worried. What happened to His Royal Highness Prince Gong?"

Mrs. Fang and An Qingyan felt very sympathetic when they saw Jiang Xue like this, and urged Nan Jingxing to explain the whole story clearly. At least let everyone know what Xiao Zhan's current situation is.

"Your Highness...fell off a cliff and his whereabouts are unknown. When Jingxing went down the cliff to look for His Highness, he was attacked and all the people he brought with him suffered heavy casualties. We only found a piece of blood-stained cloth at the bottom of the cliff, and then I passed out due to my serious injuries."

As he spoke, Nan Jingxing handed over the piece of cloth found at the bottom of the cliff. Jiang Xue took it and looked at it carefully, confirming that this was the cloth for the clothes Xiao Zhan was wearing when he left.

The fabric was hand-picked by her and is instantly recognizable.

The faint smell of blood coming from the cloth made Jiang Xue tremble all over.
