Interesting! It's really interesting.

This seemingly ordinary wanderer can actually keep up with me.

Ding Tu's speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to see his movements.

Jiang Xue realized that the situation was critical and quickly took out her bamboo flute and started playing it.

As the sound of the flute began, Ding Tu's movements suddenly stopped.

In the blink of an eye, Qiu Qianhuan seized the opportunity and stabbed forward with his sword.

When masters fight, victory or defeat is often decided in a split second. This sword was both accurate and fierce, hitting Ding Tu right in the chest.

In order to protect his heart from being hit, Ding Tu was forced to drop his weapon, tightly gripping the sword with both hands, barely stopping Qiu Qianhuan's subsequent attack.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a huge black python broke into the inn. Its huge tail swept across, sweeping away Ding Tu and the killers.

Under the effect of Jiang Xue's flute, the giant python took them away from the scene and the battle was temporarily calmed down.

Si Ruochen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but then half-knelt on the ground, covering his chest and coughing up blood.

"Your Highness!" Qiu Qianhuan rushed forward to support him, not even having time to clean the blood on the dagger. Xiao Zhan also came with Jiang Xue to help.

Seeing that the blood Si Ruochen vomited was black, Jiang Xue immediately realized that Ding Tu's weapon was poisonous.

She quickly used gold needles to seal key acupuncture points and gave him a detoxification pill to prevent the toxin from spreading.

"Hurry up and carry him upstairs to rest. Prepare scissors, hot water and charcoal fire." Jiang Xue ordered, her tone full of urgency.

This poison is extremely potent and must be treated quickly, otherwise it will quickly become fatal.

While others were busy, Jiang Xue picked up the dagger that Ding Tu dropped on the ground.

This is an exquisitely crafted bayonet with the word "Mei" engraved on it.

"Little Second!"

Jiang Xue called out, and the waiter behind the counter poked his head out. She handed over a bayonet: "Wash this thing and send it to my room."

"Okay, sir." The waiter took it carefully, secretly marveling at the exquisite workmanship of the knife.

"Don't forget to remove the poison on the blade," Jiang Xue added, and at the same time handed the waiter a piece of silver as a reward.

The waiter's eyes lit up and he immediately became excited: "Okay!"

In the next few hours, Jiang Xue concentrated on detoxifying and healing Si Ruochen.

There was no anesthetic available, so Si Ruochen had to grit his teeth and endure the pain.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhan and Qiu Qianhuan helped hold him down, allowing Jiang Xue to treat his wound smoothly.

The whole process not only made Si Ruochen physically and mentally exhausted, but also made the other three people present sweat profusely from nervousness.

Finally, "It's OK, all the poisonous blood has been discharged." Jiang Xue washed the blood off her hands and breathed a sigh of relief looking at the black liquid in the basin. Fortunately, she received timely treatment, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

After a short rest, Jiang Xue pulled Xiao Zhan and Qiu Qianhuan to sit down.

"Qiu Qianhuan, I want to know something." She looked directly at him, "Do you know Ding Tu?"

Ding Tu, the chief eunuch of the Yingxia Palace, and Qiu Qianhuan of the Chengyuan Kingdom should not have had any intersection, but his reaction just now aroused Jiang Xue's curiosity.

Faced with the questioning, Qiu Qianhuan remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Yes, I know him."

He explained that he had originally planned to wait until the time was right to reveal the truth. After all, as an outsider, what he said might not be trusted.

Moreover, if he rashly told the truth, it might not only bring trouble to His Highness, but also expose his whereabouts and bring danger. But now the situation is urgent, and he feels that he can no longer conceal it.

Ding Tu's sudden attack forced Qiu Qianhuan to change his original plan. Since his whereabouts had been exposed, danger followed. In addition, Ding Tu's words confirmed that everything before was true. At this moment, confessing his life experience to His Highness would not only win his trust, but also protect him.

"Before your mother became the imperial concubine, I came to Chengyuan with her. It was at that time that I met the person who changed my destiny." Qiu Qianhuan slowly closed his eyes and recalled the past.

In my memory, that severe winter, snow covered everything.

As a hungry young boy, he stole a meat bun, but was beaten up by the shop owner. Without food and covered with wounds, he stumbled forward, not knowing where to go.

He accidentally fell in front of a mansion and people around him looked at him with contempt.

"Where did you come from, little beggar! Go away! This is where important people are staying, don't defile this pure land!" The servant of the inn waved a broom to drive him away.

Weak and powerless, he could only curl up on the ground and endure the beating. The cold, hunger and pain seemed like an endless abyss that seemed to swallow him up.

Just when I was in despair, a gentle voice accompanied by a faint plum fragrance drifted over.

"Stop it." A white hand reached out to him. When he looked up, he saw a pair of concerned eyes.

Xiaoqiu Qianhuan was stunned.

"Miss Pei." The servant called respectfully.

"He's just a child, how can you treat him like this?"

Pei Yun said softly, and ordered the servant: "Bring him in, it's too cold outside, his hands and feet are frozen."

Then she turned to him and smiled comfortingly, "It's okay."

That smile was like the warm sun in winter, instantly warming his heart. "At that moment, I felt that even the fairies in the sky might not be able to compare to her beauty." Qiu Qianhuan had a warm smile on his face.

Jiang Xue looked at his expression and knew that he was telling the truth. He would only reveal such true feelings when he mentioned the most important person in his heart.

"She not only gave me a meal, but also gave me new clothes to keep me warm, and gave me the name Qian Huan. For a period of time afterwards, I became her attendant and learned martial arts in the posthouse to protect myself. We did not part until she returned to Yingxia with her family."

Qiu Qianhuan continued to say that, in fact, everything he had was given to him by her.

Pei Yun...

Xiao Zhan softly pronounced the name, as if recalling a long history: "Yingxia's Pei family was once a famous and prominent family, but more than ten years ago, they were suppressed by Emperor Lu Quan because of rebellion. It is said that the entire family was executed."

"Actually, that's not the case. In order to protect Miss Pei, the emperor revoked her title of imperial concubine and hid her secretly." Qiu Qianhuan explained.

He continued, "After I heard the news of the Pei family's misfortune, I hurried to Yingxia to look for Miss Pei. After some twists and turns, I finally found her. At that time, she had just given birth to a child."

At this point, Qiu Qianhuan turned his gaze to Si Ruochen: "That child is you, Your Highness. Remember you have a crescent-shaped red birthmark on the inside of your right arm?"

Si Ruochen's heart skipped a beat and he slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing the crescent-shaped mark.

"I recognized this feature when I saw your exposed arm when you were dealing with Danshi before," Qiu Qianhuan added.

Jiang Xue immediately understood: "So this is why you helped me."
