It was not known whether the symptoms were real or if they were hinted at by Jiang Xue's words, but Shangguan Xi immediately felt the symptoms she described the moment she finished speaking.

He was becoming more and more panicked. He couldn't die because he still had to fight for the throne. He hadn't become emperor yet, so he couldn't die.

The strong desire to survive drove him to ask Jiang Xue for help: "Can you heal my injury?"

"If Your Highness can agree to one of my conditions, as a doctor, I will naturally do my best for such a small matter as healing an injury." Jiang Xue said.

"No matter what the conditions are, I will agree to them all. Come and treat my wounds."

As expected, these people of high status are all afraid of death.

After getting his promise, Jiang Xue smiled slightly, took out the golden needle she carried with her and went to the bedside.

"Your Highness, the situation is urgent. There is no time to make preparations. Let's get started right away."

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden needle pierced directly into the pinched flesh.

The severe pain made Shangguan Xi's face distorted. He screamed and raised his hand to hit someone, but Jiang Xue pressed acupoints in time, blocking his movement.

Because he couldn't move or scream, he could only endure the excruciating pain in silence, and beads of cold sweat dripped down his hair onto the bed.

This woman is simply crazy. How dare she treat him like this? When he recovers, I will tear her into pieces.

His eyes were bloodshot, making him look particularly scary.

However, Jiang Xue ignored his threatening gestures and concentrated on stitching his wounds.

She deliberately didn't give him anesthesia, just to let him suffer the pain, in order to avenge him for chasing her before.

Because Shangguan Xi's wound was very deep, Jiang Xue had to sew nearly twenty stitches to heal the wound.

Seeing Shangguan Xi gritting his teeth and enduring the suture process, Jiang Xue looked up to him.

This man was quite tough, he held on for half an hour without making a sound. Ah, she forgot that the reason he didn't say a word was because she sealed his acupuncture points.

When she unblocked the acupuncture points, she remembered why Shangguan Xi had been able to remain silent for so long.

"The bleeding has stopped. Your Highness, just remember the conditions you promised me before."

Jiang Xue stood up and made way for the maids. Seeing that she had nothing to do, she turned around and was about to leave.

But he was blocked by the city guards at the door.

"What does your Highness mean by this? Do you want me to stay for dinner?"

Feeling the murderous aura emanating from the city guard, Jiang Xue frowned and glanced at him coldly.

"Humph, eating? You wish. How can a dying person enjoy the things in my palace?"

With a sneer, Shangguan Xi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she winked at the leader of the city guards. The city guards who were originally guarding outside the door rushed in, surrounded Jiang Xue, and faced each other with weapons.

"Is your Highness the Fourth Prince planning to repay kindness with enmity?"

Glancing at the soldiers around, it's the siege again. Does the city guard have no other tricks besides this?

It's so boring.

"I'm sorry, but the news of my injury cannot be leaked. Since you know about my injury, don't blame me for being ruthless. As for the conditions I promised you before, haha, do I still need to keep my promise to a dead man?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his left hand and swung it from top to bottom. The weapons of the city guards all stabbed towards Jiang Xue in the center.

Jiang Xue jumped lightly, her body soaring into the air as light as a feather, and finally landed on the blades of those weapons. She turned lightly and flew towards the door, easily escaping the siege.

"Chase her now. This woman must die today."

Seeing that Jiang Xue escaped, Shangguan Xi was furious. Regardless of the wound on his arm, he got out of bed, staggered out of the room, pointed at Jiang Xue's back and gave the order to kill.

"Yes."

The city guards received the order and quickly lined up, holding bows and arrows, pulling the bowstrings to full length, aiming at Jiang Xue's back, and with a whoosh, thousands of arrows were fired.

Jiang Xue used her Qinggong skills to fly up, and accurately grasped the opportunity to avoid the deadly rain of arrows. She kicked the wall with one foot, and lightly left a small footprint on the white wall.

During the three months of hard training in Changle Mountain, under the strict instruction of her master Shen Yunsheng, she gained top-notch Qinggong skills at the cost of her bruises. Thanks to this Qinggong skill, she was able to easily avoid this crisis.

"Stretch the bow."

Seeing that the first attack failed, the city guard leader gave orders again, asking his soldiers to pull the bowstrings again and aim at Jiang Xue.

His eyes were fixed on Jiang Xue in the air, and this time he was determined to send her to heaven.

Just as thousands of arrows were ready to be fired, an arrow suddenly pierced the eyes of the city guard leader.

Blood splattered and screams were heard.

"Ah! My eyes."

The leader covered his injured eye and roared loudly. He endured the severe pain, pulled out the arrow that was stuck in his eye and took a closer look.

Isn't this the arrow that was shot from the soldier's hand just now?

"Girl, come down."

Si Ruochen landed lightly on the ground, like an immortal descending to earth, in fluttering white clothes, spotless.

He waved the iron folding fan in his hand, and a cold light flew out from the fan mouth, accurately piercing the hands of the soldiers who were aiming at Jiang Xue.

"what."

There was another scream, and the soldiers who were drawing the bows fell down one after another, their wrists pierced by flying knives, severing their meridians.

When Jiang Xue saw him coming, she was slightly startled, turned around and landed lightly beside Si Ruochen.

"How did you come?"

"Master asked me to take good care of you. I know this is a dangerous place, so how can I let you take risks alone?"

Si Ruochen touched the top of her head and smiled.

With his other hand he calmly threw out two throwing knives to block the incoming arrows.

"You are so brave. You hurt my people in my house. Today I will let you know what happens to those who offend me."

Shangguan Xi walked out of the room with the help of his servants and saw that Jiang Xue was safe and sound, but his men fell to the ground one by one. He was so angry that he took out a pistol and pointed it at Jiang Xue.

This hand cannon was a special weapon that he had made privately. He was the only one in the ten countries who had it! It was extremely powerful, far beyond the reach of ordinary weapons! This hand cannon was just made a month ago, and he hadn't had time to test it yet. Today was a good opportunity to test its power.

boom.

Shangguan Xi pulled the trigger, and a loud bang echoed in the Fourth Prince's mansion.

Jiang Xue pulled Si Ruochen to the side and looked at the place where she had been standing. A round steel ball was smoking and had sunk into the ground.

I felt a stinging pain in my foot. I looked down and saw blood oozing from my ankle, staining my shoes and socks red.

"Xiaoxue." Si Ruochen called out softly, very worried.

What the hell is that weapon in Shangguan Xi's hand?

The speed was too fast. If Xiaoxue hadn't pulled him away, both of them would probably be dead now.

“Haha, hahaha! Run! Little bitch, aren’t you good at Qinggong? Keep running! I want to see who is faster, you or my hand gun.”
