Even though they were enemies, she had to admire Ding Tu's extraordinary perseverance and sharpness.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I know my limits." Ding Tu endured the pain, slowly pulled out the bayonet, and stood up shakily. "What is the secret of this poisonous insect?"

"It's just to prevent you from hunting down my senior brother." Jiang Xue replied.

"Since you know that I am the Queen Lotus's man, you also understand that I cannot disobey her orders." Ding Tu said as he looked around, thinking about how to escape.

"Even if I kill your senior brother, you will not be able to escape death. Do you really plan to do this?" Jiang Xue raised a sly smile.

"What did you say?" Ding Tu's face suddenly changed.

"You should be very clear about the effect of the Tongxin Gu in your body. Once your companions are injured or die, you will suffer the same fate."

"Humph, do you think I'm afraid of dying together with you?" Ding Tu sneered.

"If you really don't care about your own life, why do you try so hard to get the antidote every month?" Jiang Xue hit the nail on the head.

"Antidote!" Ding Tu's face became even gloomier, like a beast about to explode.

If his leg injury hadn't restricted his movements, he would have rushed towards Jiang Xue and grabbed her throat.

"Don't dream. There is no antidote to the Tongxin Gu. As long as you don't hurt my senior brother, you can protect yourself." Jiang Xue responded coldly.

"Princess, while I can still persuade you with kind words, quickly remove this damn poisonous insect, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!" Ding Tu was burning with rage, and deep in his heart he was roaring against the fate of being bound.

No antidote? Then we can only get rid of the person who poisoned us!

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Xiao Zhan stood in front of Jiang Xue and said, "Master Tu, what can you do in your current situation?"

With his internal energy sealed and his legs severely injured, Ding Tu even had difficulty moving, let alone launching an attack.

Suddenly, Ding Tu laughed wildly towards the sky, which made everyone present alert.

"Be careful overhead!" Qiu Qianhuan exclaimed, and saw several black shadows attacking from the sky.

Those dark shadows moved as swiftly as ghosts, and their attacks were as fast as lightning, with each move being deadly!

Xiao Zhan tightly protected Jiang Xue and retreated, the long sword in his hand dancing like the wind, blocking the continuous attacks again and again. Qiu Qianhuan retreated in another direction, fighting the enemy while retreating.

"Lord Dasi, I am late, please forgive me!" A black shadow came to Ding Tu in an instant, supported him, and disappeared in a flash.

As he left, the remaining shadows seemed to blend into the night, disappearing without a trace.

"They are Ding Tu's men..." Jiang Xue looked at the empty direction and fell into deep thought.

The speed just now was beyond ordinary people’s imagination!

"These people are very skilled and their moves are deadly. They have obviously received rigorous training." Xiao Zhan said seriously, "The most terrifying thing is that they didn't have any murderous intent when they approached."

It takes a killer such a high level of skill to be able to completely hide his murderous intent. If Qiu Qianhuan hadn't reminded him in time, he might have been injured.

"Your Highness, be careful. Ding Tu is a cruel man and he hates you deeply this time. I'm afraid he will take further action." Qiu Qianhuan warned.

"I understand." Jiang Xue nodded in response. She knew very well that Ding Tu was not a pushover, and since she had decided to do this, she had naturally prepared a plan to deal with it.

"Let's go." She turned and left.

"Where are you going, Princess?" Qiu Qianhuan asked, noticing that she was going in the opposite direction of the mansion.

"Aren't you worried about Ruochen's safety? Since you know he is at the inn, of course you have to go and pick him up." Xiao Zhan explained.

"It was my negligence." Qiu Qianhuan laughed at himself, put away his knife, and followed the two men towards the inn.

"Someone is looking for Master Si?" Murray put down the book in his hand and asked the servant who reported the news, "Who is looking for him?"

He frowned slightly, and in his heart he didn't want anyone to disturb Si Ruochen, not even Cao Zhiqing.

"He is said to be the third young master's friend." The servant bowed his head and answered respectfully.

"Third brother?" Mo Rui frowned, puzzled. He knew that Mo Chenjun had many friends, but he had never heard him say that he had any acquaintances in Qian Country.

"Please ask them to wait for a moment, I'll be down right away." Putting down the book in his hand, Mo Rui gently tidied the bedding for Si Ruochen, then closed the door and left.

As soon as he turned around, a dark shadow sneaked into the room silently, moving so fast that it was difficult to detect.

When they came downstairs, Mo Rui bowed slightly to Jiang Xue and the other two, "Sorry for the long wait."

When Mo Rui's eyes fell on Qiu Qianhuan, they turned cold and an unfriendly aura emanated from his body.

"Mr. Mo Si." Jiang Xue stepped forward and explained in a calm tone, "This is Si Ruochen's bodyguard, named Qiu Qianhuan. You may have misunderstood what happened before. My brother was hunted down because of his special identity, and the bloody blade he saw that day was actually an act of self-defense."

"This is completely different from what Miss Cao said." Despite this, Murray was still skeptical.

"I understand your concerns. After all, you are closer to Cao Zhiqing." Jiang Xue continued, "If you still have doubts, why not let Senior Brother clarify everything himself."

"It's a pity that he hasn't woken up yet." Murray shook his head and sighed.

Hearing this, Jiang Xue's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Mr. Mo Si, I know a thing or two about medicine. Can you let me check on Senior Brother? Maybe I can find out the cause of his coma."

Murray hesitated, he was wary of these strangers. Seeing this, Jiang Xue suggested: "If you are worried, you can only allow me to go with you to check, it will be safer, right?"

After careful consideration, Murray nodded in agreement: "Okay, girl, please follow me."

"Your Highness, aren't you going?" Qiu Qianhuan asked Xiao Zhan who was left behind.

"Since Xiaoxue said so, it means she is confident in solving this matter." Xiao Zhan said with a smile, "If I insist on going with her, wouldn't it seem that I don't trust her enough? What's more, forcing my way in will only backfire."

The tacit understanding between Prince Gong and Her Royal Highness the Princess is enviable; they can understand each other without words.

This made Qiu Qianhuan yearn for it.

"Your destined partner will appear at the right time, and you will also meet someone who is soul mate with you." Xiao Zhan turned to him and said.

"I hope so, but I am carrying a heavy hatred on my shoulders. If I don't fulfill this responsibility, I'm afraid it will implicate others." Ever since his companions passed away that night, he vowed to seek justice for them.

Xiao Zhan stared at him without saying anything more. He knew that if some knots were not untied, it would be difficult for people to move forward. He himself had also gone through such a stage.

"Master Mo Si, where is Si Ruochen?" Jiang Xue asked Mo Rui while standing beside the empty bed.

Murray was speechless for a moment, looking around, and remembered that he was still lying in bed when he left.

His shoes were still by the bed, obviously he didn't leave on his own.

A gust of cold wind blew into the room, and Murray turned his eyes to the window, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. He clearly remembered that the window was closed when he left.
