The killer's knife stabbed too deep, just a hair's breadth away from her heart. She now needed Xiao Wuchen's support even to get out of bed.

The woman who once laughed so proudly at the gathering of heroes, can now only drink her porridge carefully with a pale face, and her whole body is as fragile as glass.

The two of them drank the porridge in silence.

Just when Lin Xilan was about to take a break, she suddenly saw something coming in from outside the door.

It is a colorful poisonous snake.

The poisonous snake spit out its tongue and suddenly attacked Lin Xilan!

"Princess! Be careful!"

Xiao Wuchen seemed a little anxious, but his feet did not move at all.

Lin Xilan's eyes turned cold.

When the poisonous snake pounced on her, she picked up the chopsticks on the table, accurately pinched the snake's vital point, and threw it away.

but.

Her heart was already severely injured, and this action directly tore her wound.

present.

Her face turned pale!

Xiao Wuchen's eyes dimmed, and he held her arm, "Are you okay?"

"The wound... opened."

She said this with a weak breath, and her vision gradually turned dark.

Xiao Wuchen narrowed his eyes and helped Lin Xilan onto the bed. Since there was no one else in the cabin, he had to help with everything by himself.

He lowered his eyes and quickly bandaged the seriously injured Lin Xilan.

"Thank you."

Lin Xilan felt weak.

She felt that she was still quite lucky. If she had not met Xiao Wuchen, she would probably have died on the spot.

She said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry, when I return safely, I will definitely reward you with a thousand taels of silver and make sure you never need to eat plain porridge again."

Xiao Wuchen laughed angrily.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the princess' reward!"

bottom of the cliff.

After two days and two nights of searching, Beichenze's face became paler and paler.

Even the bottom of his eyes were bloodshot.

The servant said in embarrassment: "Second Prince, we have been salvaging for two days, but still haven't found the body. The water is so deep, I'm afraid we won't be able to salvage anything for a while. Second Prince, why don't you go back and rest first? If there is any news, let these people inform you."

Beichenze shook his head.

"The emperor's uncle was injured at my place, and Lin Xilan died. All of this is my responsibility. I can't leave."

Besides...

She really wanted to find Lin Xilan's body and bury him in peace.

Think of this.

He felt his entire stomach and intestines cramping, and in the vague dizziness, he even had an urge to vomit.

It's his fault.

If he had not trusted Jiang Mingzhu and asked Lin Xilan to come here, she would not have encountered the assassin at all.

He didn't know whether Jiang Mingzhu was behind all this.

but--

It is true that he is to blame!

Seeing that his face was becoming more and more ugly, the servants in the Second Prince's mansion became more and more anxious, and finally remembered something.

"Your Highness, since no one has been salvaged, it means that the Regent Princess may still be alive. Young Master Xiao's wooden house is nearby. Why don't we go there and take a look?"

Beichenze was stunned.

Only then did he remember his good friend who always liked to live in seclusion.

He didn't think that Lin Xilan could survive after falling from such a high cliff, but it was undeniable that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would still choose to believe it.

"it is good……"

then.

Xiao Wuchen had just changed the medicine for Lin Xilan.

Then he saw Beichenze, whose face was pale and looked as if half his life was gone.

His good friend suddenly visited him, and his brows twitched. Thinking of Lin Xilan in the wooden house, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Ze, why are you here?"

Beichenze's voice was hoarse.

"Lin Xilan...was assassinated together with the emperor's uncle and fell off a cliff. I sent people to search for her at the bottom of the cliff for two days and two nights, but I didn't see her. Since you've been living in seclusion here recently, I wanted to come and ask you..."

"Have you seen her around here recently?"

Xiao Wuchen was silent.

If Bei Chenze hadn't come to the door directly, he would definitely deny it.

the reason is simple.

He was wondering whether to kill Lin Xilan.

Killing Beichen Yuan is already very troublesome. If he is accompanied by Lin Xilan, who knows martial arts, medical skills, and is even smart and knows how to hide, the difficulty will be doubled.

and so.

He was observing whether he needed to take action against Lin Xilan.

Unfortunately, he hasn't made up his mind yet.

——This person came.

He seemed to want to speak, but Lin Xilan's voice was heard in the room first.

"Mr. Xiao, please help me, my wound seems to have split open again..."

This voice...

The self-blame in Beichenze's eyes froze, and he could hardly believe his ears.

Seeing no response from outside, Lin Xilan called out a few more times.

As a well-known doctor, she should be the one bandaging wounds and changing dressings, but her injuries are so severe that even turning over is difficult for her, let alone changing the dressings.

resignedly.

She waited for a long time, but no one came in.

She was silent for a moment, which was rare.

Because she finally realized that this was ancient times, and her current identity seemed to be...

Princess Regent?

Ok.

It is indeed impossible to ask Xiao Wuchen to change her medicine.

She frowned, stood up with difficulty, reached for the white cloth and medicine bottle beside the bed, and slowly took off her clothes. The tearing of the wound brought her a pain.

Lin Xilan endured the pain and applied medicine to herself personally.

Each blow was like a slow slicing of flesh and blood.

Just when she was about to bandage the wound, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open.

The man in blue turned pale, his eyes fell on her, and he could hardly believe his eyes.

"You're not dead?"

"Kacha."

Lin Xilan heard the sound of wounds tearing, and the pain spread from her heart to her limbs.

Her face was pale, she was slightly bent over, and couldn't utter a word, while Beichenze outside the door was still in a trance.

"I just heard your voice, and I didn't expect it was really you... But, how come you are with Wuchen?"

As he was talking, he finally noticed that Lin Xilan's clothes were half-unbuttoned.

He stuttered.

"Sorry... I'll leave now. I didn't know you were changing."

Lin Xilan couldn't catch her breath.

As her blood and energy surged, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fainted.

"Lin Xilan!"

He was startled, and the joy he had just felt at seeing someone disappeared without a trace after he saw the blood spilling.

Without caring about Lin Xilan's current appearance, he quickly entered the room, covered her with a quilt, and turned back with a grim expression.

"Go and get the doctor and the imperial physician!"

After all, he had not lost his mind. Knowing Lin Xilan's current condition, he could not move at will, so he might as well quickly call a doctor.

Because Beichen Yuan was seriously injured, the entire Nanshan Villa was filled with doctors, and even the imperial physician from the palace rushed over a few days ago.

but--

His gaze turned to Xiao Wuchen outside the door, and his eyes had turned cold.

"Xiao Wuchen, Lin Xilan is here with you. Why didn't you pay attention to me and tell me for so long?"
