Her hands were shaking slightly and her thoughts were in a mess. At this moment, she caught a glimpse of the flickering fire outside the door from the corner of her eye.

"Oh no!" she cried out.

"What happened?" Tao Qiming asked nervously.

"Hurry up! We've been discovered!" Ye Yunzi said hurriedly, realizing that this was a carefully designed trap.

Leng Xue's expression was solemn: "Miss, there is someone outside."

"go!"

Before he finished speaking, Leng Xue and the strange man had kicked open the door. Outside the door stood several opponents with strong martial arts skills, including the Princess of Nanyue, with a sneer on her face.

"My plan succeeded. You have no way to escape!"

The princess ordered: "Catch them for me!"

The guards rushed over quickly. Tao Qiming's face turned pale: "This is a trap, they are luring us into it..."

Ye Yunzi recognized the Princess of Nanyue and frowned, "Go quickly."

Leng Xue didn't hesitate at all, pulling Ye Yunzi out, vowing to protect the young lady from harm.

Swords clashed, sparks flew, and the guards chased after them. Princess Nanyue's eyes flashed with excitement: "I want to see who dares to kidnap the eldest young master of the Shen family."

Ye Yunzi followed Leng Xue closely, trying to lighten her burden. The wind whistled in her ears, and swords were waving. Leng Xue fought hard and protected her behind him.

Ye Yunzi understood that she was a burden. Without any martial arts skills, she could only slow down Leng Xue's pace.

"Miss, don't worry about me, run!" Leng Xue shouted in a low voice, determined to help the young lady escape danger no matter what.

This time, she would never let the young lady get hurt again.

"Leng Xue..."

Ye Yunzi tightly grasped Leng Xue's sleeve, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and her black pupils were as bright as the stars in the night sky: "Throw me down."

"Leng Xue, hurry up!"

Leng Xue was stunned. She couldn't understand why the young lady would take such a risk: "Young lady?"

Putting the young lady in danger was definitely not Leng Xue's wish. Even if her own life was in danger, she had to ensure the young lady's safety. How could she abandon the young lady?

Ye Yunzi gently pulled the corner of Leng Xue's clothes, her tone gentle but firm: "I'm sorry to make you worry again. But I have important things to do, I have to go back."

Leng Xue looked at the young lady in confusion, not understanding her intentions.

"Put me down quietly, I want to go back to the Shen Mansion." Ye Yunzi explained.

"What are you doing going back to the Shen Mansion? It's too dangerous, no!" Leng Xue immediately objected and shook her head to express her disagreement.

"The person on the futon just now was actually Shen Siyan. They used a disguise to confuse us. I panicked at the time and was fooled. Now I have to go back and give Siyan the antidote."

Looking back, Ye Yunzi felt extremely regretful. The Princess of Nanyue took advantage of this opportunity to throw them into chaos, and they did not suspect that the person sitting on the futon was Shen Siyan at the critical moment.

"Let me go, I'll deliver the antidote." Leng Xue suggested.

"No, you are a martial arts expert, and they will pay special attention to you. If you return now, you will definitely be discovered. So I have to deliver the antidote myself." Ye Yunzi said decisively.

"But..." Leng Xue wanted to say something.

"There's no time." Ye Yunzi interrupted her, having made up her mind.

Leng Xue knew very well that once the young lady made up her mind, no one could change it.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and chose a hidden place, carefully put Ye Yunzi down, and then quickly fled, attracting the attention of the pursuers.

Ye Yunzi hid in the shadows, holding her breath, and watched the crowd go away. After the surroundings returned to calm, she hurried to the yard where Shen Siyan was.

On the other side, the Princess of Nanyue led her men to chase Tao Qiming and the man in black, and angrily ordered: "Chase them quickly, and make sure to catch them!"

Tao Qiming hugged the man in black tightly, his face pale, and prayed silently in his heart: "Master, please bless us, please bless us to escape this disaster."

"You can't run away!" the Princess of Nanyue shouted from behind.

However, the man in black fought hard to cut his way out and quickly disappeared into the night with Tao Qiming.

The guards rushed forward, their swords flashing coldly. Tao Qiming was terrified and quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and threw it at them.

The guard thought it was a deadly hidden weapon and smashed it with his sword. With a "bang", the porcelain bottle shattered and a burst of powder scattered everywhere.

"Hold your breath and go!"

Tao Qiming shouted hurriedly. The man in black understood his intention and immediately held his breath and stood still. Those who inhaled the powder felt dizzy and weak, and could no longer hold their weapons.

The man in black took this opportunity to counterattack quickly, chopping down several opponents, opening an escape route for the two men, and then quickly pulled Tao Qiming away.

There was chaos outside, but the Shen Mansion was surprisingly quiet.

Ye Yunzi walked into the yard calmly. At this time, all the guards were chasing Leng Xue and others. The yard was empty. Obviously, the Princess of Nanyue did not expect anyone to turn back.

She touched the antidote in her sleeve and was glad that she and Tao Qiming had prepared it.

Step by step, she approached the room, the light illuminating her path. Ye Yunzi gently pushed open the door and her eyes fell on the man sitting quietly on the futon.

His ordinary face seemed unfamiliar, but she whispered, "Si Yan, I'm here."

Approaching the man, Ye Yunzi gently stroked his face, and when her fingers slid under his ear, she discovered traces of disguise.

“The most dangerous places are often the safest.”

She murmured to herself, realizing that this was the plot of the Princess of Nanyue. To be an enemy of the wise, every step needs to be taken with extreme caution.

"Here is the antidote."

She carefully took out the antidote, which was made from her blood. It was deep red in color and emitted a faint smell of blood under the light.

She fed the antidote to Shen Siyan. According to Doctor Xue, this antidote melts in the mouth and will take effect without swallowing.

After finishing, Ye Yunzi took a few steps back and looked at Shen Siyan nervously.

It is unknown whether and when the antidote will be effective.

"Uh……"

Shen Siyan made a painful sound, his brows were furrowed, and his whole body was tense, as if he was experiencing a painful torture.

Ye Yunzi clenched her hands: "Si Yan, hold on!"

She didn't dare to disturb Shen Siyan who was in the process of detoxification, because if she interfered, it might cause the poisonous insect to invade deeper into his body. At this moment, she could only pray silently, hoping that everything would go well and that Siyan would be safe and sound.

Shen Siyan's body began to tremble, cold sweat soaked his clothes, and the blue veins on his neck were clearly visible, as if something was wriggling inside.

"Si Yan!" Ye Yunzi felt as if her chest was being weighed down by something heavy. Seeing Si Yan's pain, her heart also tightened.

Suddenly, Shen Siyan opened his eyes abruptly.

"Si Yan!" Ye Yunzi screamed and rushed to his side.

Shen Siyan's expression was extremely complicated, as if he was enduring great pain. Then, he spat out a pool of black blood.

"Cough cough..."

Ye Yunzi hurriedly supported him: "Si Yan, are you okay? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
