Xiao Yu and Yan Qing each grabbed a sword and were barely able to withstand the fierce attack from more than a dozen people on the opposite side.

The killers on the opposite side are all quite skilled, but they are slightly inferior to Xiao Yu and Yan Qing in a one-on-one fight.

But with more than a dozen people attacking together, Xiao Yu and Yan Qing were helpless and could only defend desperately.

They had several wounds on their bodies, but the killers on the opposite side were not injured.

After several rounds of attacks, Yan Qing began to lose strength and could only support himself with his sword.

Xiao Yu wasn't in much better condition either. He stood leaning against the carriage, gasping for breath.

Yan Qing asked quietly: "Will we end up here today?"

Xiao Yu snorted coldly, "Don't say stupid things, someone has gone to get help!"

Seeing that Xiao Yu and Yan Qing were beginning to lose strength, the enemy launched a more fierce attack, not wanting to give them any chance to rest.

Yan Qing was too tired and was kicked to the ground when he was trying to block the incoming sword. Xiao Yu wanted to help him but was hit on the leg by the sword and immediately fell to his knees.

When they all fell, all the enemies rushed forward to give them the final blow.

Just as the sword was about to pierce the two men, an arrow flying from a distance bounced off the sword that was stabbing at them.

Then five masked men in black flew over and blocked their way.

After several rounds of fighting, the assassin realized how powerful the man was.

Faced with the sudden powerful assistance, the assassin began to feel scared. These people's strength was no less than Xiao Yuyanqing.

Two were easy to deal with, but with five more, they wouldn't be able to do anything even if they had more people.

"withdraw!"

At the command, the assassins began to retreat in all directions and finally disappeared into the night.

Seeing that the assassins had retreated, Xiao Yu thought of Su Lingyue who was lying in the carriage, so he pushed the servant's body away and went to drive the carriage himself.

"Hey, wait for me!" Yan Qing shouted, but Xiao Yu acted as if he didn't hear her and drove the carriage away.

"My beautiful Yan Qing, let's go. We brothers will take you back." said one of the masked men in black.

"You can send me off, but don't call me that!"

Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. He was carried up by the masked man in black. Yan Qing wanted to resist, but his hands and feet were too weak, so he could only let him carry him.

"I'm not a corpse, can you please not carry me?"

"What else, hold me?"

"Forget it, you just carry it!"

When Su Lingyue was carried back to Muyunxuan by Xiao Yu, Doctor Lu was already waiting.

Another person named Xiao Yu, dressed in a blue suit, stood up from his chair, took Su Lingyue, who still had an arrow stuck in her back, and ran straight to the bedroom, followed closely by Doctor Lu.

Xiao Yu pushed open the bedroom door, hugged Su Lingyue, sat on the edge of the bed, let her lean on his shoulders, and pushed her long hair to her side.

Looking at the clothes stained with blood, Xiao Yu felt indescribable pain and pity in his heart. He let Su Lingyue's head rest against his neck and rubbed it gently.

Doctor Lu took a pair of scissors and cut the clothes from the wound to the collar.

Xiao Yu groped for the belt of Su Lingyue's clothes, untied it, removed her bloody dress, then her blood-soaked inner garment, revealing her back stained with blood.

Doctor Lu took out a small knife from the medicine box and put it on the fire to warm it for a while.

"Hold tight, it hurts to draw the sword, don't let her move."

"Yeah." Xiao Yu responded, holding Su Lingyue's shoulders with one hand and Su Lingyue's slender waist and hands with the other hand.

Doctor Lu held the arrow in one hand and a red-hot knife in the other, and cut the flesh at the wound.

"what!!!"

Su Lingyue was awakened by the intense pain and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

My body struggled to escape from the pain, but was held tightly by a pair of hands.

"Ah! It hurts! Let me go!" Su Lingyue said while struggling.

"Su Lingyue, be good, it will be fine in a while." Xiao Yu's voice was gentle, but his hands and arms were very powerful, holding Su Lingyue tightly.

He was a man who had just returned from fighting on the battlefield. He had several such arrows stuck in his body, and Doctor Lu used the same method to remove them.

He knew how painful it was to have his skin and flesh cut open.

Blood flowed down the wound, staining Xiao Yu's arms all over.

"Let's start on the other side." Doctor Lu said and started cutting the flesh on the other side.

"what!!!"

Su Lingyue screamed again, but it was too painful, so she bit Xiao Yu's shoulder.

"Su Lingyue, it will be fine soon, just bear with it."

Xiao Yu frowned in pain, but he felt that it was not even one ten-thousandth of the pain in his heart. He just let her bite and rubbed her cheek lightly with his jaw.

After cutting the wound open, Doctor Lu quickly pulled out the arrow, and Su Lingyue fainted from the pain.

Doctor Lu quickly pressed a white cloth sprinkled with hemostatic powder on the wound and said to Xiao Yu, "Press it tightly."

The white cloth that Xiao Yu was pressing on was soon stained red with blood.

Doctor Lu took another piece of white cloth sprinkled with medicine powder and replaced the previous one. Finally, he and Xiao Yu bandaged Su Lingyue together.

Doctor Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead, then pulled Su Lingyue's wrist and took her pulse.

"The wound is quite deep and a lot of blood has been lost, but his life is not in danger for now."

Xiao Yu held Su Lingyue in his arms and looked at Doctor Lu, "Thank you, Uncle Lu. You've worked hard."

Doctor Lu waved his hand, sat down on the chair, and sighed, "Hey, I'm fine, it's just that this little girl is suffering."

Then he looked at the fainted Su Lingyue and said, "How many young ladies who have been raised in seclusion have experienced this? Be nicer to the young lady in the future."

Xiao Yu looked at the person who fainted in his arms, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Well, I won't let her get hurt again in the future."

The words were full of care, like a vow.

Seeing him say that, Doctor Lu also breathed a sigh of relief and handed a bottle of medicine to Xiao Yu, "Take this three times a day, one pill at a time. I'll go boil the medicine for her, you take good care of him."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.

Xiao Yu took the medicine bottle, poured out a pill from it, and stuffed it into Su Lingyue's bloodless lips.

He put his finger into Su Lingyue's wet mouth, pushed the pill in, and picked up the cup of water on the table to feed her water.

But at this time, Su Lingyue's face was pale, and she had lost consciousness due to the pain. She made no swallowing movements and could not swallow the water.

Xiao Yu took a sip of water, gently lifted Su Lingyue's chin, kissed Su Lingyue's lips, poured the water into her mouth, and guided her to swallow the water and medicine.

He put Su Lingyue on the bed again, wiped the blood off her back, and covered her with a quilt. Only then did Xiao Yu feel relieved.

He gently stroked Su Lingyue who had fainted on the bed, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and looked at her pale little face lost in thought.

Considering some of Su Lingyue’s previous behaviors, he had too many doubts in his mind.

Su Lingyue seemed to have known that something would happen.

After changing into clean clothes, Xiao Yu walked towards the hall.

Yun Ting had already changed into his own clothes and was standing in the hall waiting for Xiao Yu with a frown on his face.

Seeing Xiao Yu coming out, Yun Ting hurried forward and knelt down, "I failed to protect the princess, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yu helped Yun Ting up and said in a deep voice: "I believe you didn't do it on purpose this time. What happened on the way?"

Yun Ting was stunned. So much had happened on the way that he didn't know where to start.

He used to hate Su Lingyue, thinking that she was a scheming woman who had ill intentions towards the prince and the palace.

However, Su Lingyue's words and actions tonight have overturned many of his previous ideas.

"Princess, she...didn't recognize me. She said something on the way. I think Your Highness needs to know."
