"I wonder if you are satisfied?"

Watching the group of city guards slowly leave the room, they all had varying degrees of embarrassment on their faces.

Faced with Jiang Xue's questions, they felt even more ashamed and wished there was a crack in the ground they could crawl into.

The leader of the city guards covered his eyes with his hands and a blood-stained white cloth on his head. He could not raise his head in front of the entire army.

It turned out that in the room, several maids were changing the sunflower water bags. They were frightened by their intrusion and threw the white cloth they had just changed at them.

"Sir, do you have an answer now for the strange bloodstains you just mentioned?"

Looking at the white cloth on the bodies and heads of these city guards, Si Ruochen couldn't help but tease them.

He lowered his head and glanced at Jiang Xue's slightly raised mouth, secretly thanking his luck that he had never provoked his junior sister, otherwise he would not be able to tolerate such a trick.

"Everyone has searched, have you found anything?"

Looking around, no one answered. Jiang Xue sneered and turned to the leader: "Sir, do you want to continue searching?"

The man's face became even darker and became extremely ugly.

He tore off the white cloth on his head and threw it on the ground in disgust.

It's so embarrassing, the leader of the city guards was actually bullied by something like this...

At this moment, he was so angry that his face turned red, and he didn't want to stay here any longer.

"let's go."

He uttered these three words with gritted teeth, and was about to leave the young master's mansion with the city guards.

Just as he took one step forward, he suddenly paused, as if he remembered something, turned around and pointed at Jiang Xue: "You, come with us."

Si Ruochen's face changed and he immediately stood in front of Jiang Xue. Could it be that these people were going to attack his junior sister because of the Kuishui belt just now?

"Why?" Jiang Xue looked at him fearlessly.

"You just took over and seemed to know some medical skills. Come with us to the Fourth Prince's Palace."

After what happened just now, the leader knew that it was pointless to say any more to this woman, otherwise he would be the only one who would suffer.

So he made a gesture and asked several soldiers to go over and take Jiang Xue away by force.

It seems that someone in the Fourth Prince's Mansion was injured, and they dared not alert the people in the Imperial Medical Bureau for fear of the news leaking.

This made Jiang Xue quite curious. Who was injured and how did they get injured?

"Could it be that someone in the Fourth Prince's Mansion was injured?"

"Stop talking nonsense and take it away."

No one knew that the Fourth Prince was injured except the people in the mansion.

Because he was injured by a disguised assassin when he was teasing a dancer. How could Shangguan Xi possibly tell others about such an embarrassing thing and make them laugh at him?

Unfortunately, the assassin's attack was quite severe, and the wound was so deep that the bone was visible. If I don't find someone to treat it, it will be troublesome when the wound becomes festered.

The leader's erratic look made Jiang Xue immediately guess that the injured person must be Shangguan Xi.

If it weren't for him, why would the city guard leader be so anxious.

The soldiers who surrounded him were no match for Si Ruochen and were beaten back with just a few moves.

When the city guard leader saw this, his eyes widened with anger and he roared, scaring the soldiers who had retreated back and immediately surrounded him again.

It’s really endless.

Jiang Xue glanced at the people around her. The city guards rushed in in full view of everyone. If she rashly clashed with them, the Young Master's Mansion would definitely be pushed to the forefront. She didn't want to cause trouble for her brother.

She took a step forward and raised her hand to block Si Ruochen: "Brother, don't be anxious."

Then he looked at the city guard leader and said, "I can go with you, but have your people put the things away and don't embarrass themselves here."

Several soldiers attacked one person together but didn't gain any advantage. After hearing what Jiang Xue said, they felt even more ashamed. They lowered their heads and dared not look at their leaders.

"Useless thing, what are you still standing there for? Get back here."

His subordinates were not doing their job well, which brought shame upon him as well. The leader of the city guards shouted irritably, "You go with us alone! No one else is allowed to follow." While saying this, he deliberately glared at Si Ruochen.

Jiang Xue gave Si Ruochen a reassuring look, then held her head high and followed the city guards out of the young master's mansion.

"Master Si, what should we do? The Fourth Prince's mansion is a dangerous place! What if something happens to a weak woman like Miss Si?" The steward paced back and forth anxiously. When will Master Huaichen come back? If he doesn't come back, Miss Si will be in danger.

The Fourth Prince Shangguan Xi is notoriously difficult to mess with. If he knew that Miss Si was from the Young Master's Mansion, and considering Miss Si's personality, if she angered him, there's no telling what kind of torture she would suffer.

"Don't worry, Manager. That girl is not a weak woman who can be bullied by others." Si Ruochen comforted.

Even so, he was still worried about Jiang Xue's safety. Although she had the ability to protect herself, it was easy to dodge an open attack, but difficult to defend against an arrow from the dark.

From the fact that Shangguan Xi hid the Marquis of Zhenbei behind the target in the negotiation last time, we can see that this person is insidious and cunning, and will do anything to achieve his goals. What if Xiaoxue falls into his trap and suffers a loss?

"Manager, I'll go check out the situation. Please excuse me for taking the trouble to go to the Prince's Mansion."

After thinking about it, Si Ruochen tiptoed the ground and ran in the direction where Jiang Xue left.

As they followed the city guards on the way to the Fourth Prince's Palace, the people around them cast surprised glances at them.

"Did this girl commit a crime? Why was she taken away by the city guards?"

"She doesn't look like she was arrested for committing a crime. You can see that there are no shackles on her hands and feet."

"Could it be that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has taken a fancy to her? This has happened before. Whenever the Fourth Prince takes a fancy to someone, he would have the city guards bring them directly to the palace."

"Keep your voice down. Don't you see that Jun Ye is glaring at us?"

The leader of the city guards was annoyed by the noise made by the people and glared at them fiercely.

The man on the roadside was so scared that he quickly covered his wife's mouth and pulled her aside.

Not long after, the group arrived at the Fourth Prince's Palace. Led by the city guards, Jiang Xue entered the inner courtyard of the palace.

"It's you?"

As soon as she entered the room, Shangguan Xi recognized her as the woman he had been chasing before.

Jiang Xue looked sideways and saw him half leaning on the bed, with a hideous wound on his right arm. The wound was very deep and blood was flowing, and there was no way to stop it. Shangguan Xi's lips began to turn white due to excessive blood loss, and his face did not look good.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

She was slightly surprised to see his injuries, which were much more serious than she had imagined.

It seems that Yunyan really hated him so much that she used such a heavy hand on him.

Watching her slowly approaching, Shangguan Xi felt an inexplicable fear in his heart. He covered his wound and roared, "Stop! If you dare to come any closer, I will have someone kill you immediately."

"If Your Highness the Fourth Prince feels that his wounds do not require treatment, of course he can do so."

Jiang Xue stopped and looked at him fearlessly: "If your blood volume does not stop flowing, believe me, within a quarter of an hour, your highness will feel your heartbeat speeding up and breathing difficulties. If you don't believe me, your highness can feel it. Do you feel your hands and feet are cold and weak, and your body is out of control now?"
