"You can go down first." Shen Haoxuan said to the servant that was serving him.

After the servant left, Shen Haoxuan put away the appearance of a noble just now, and sat on the chair limply.

Xie Qingrong rubbed her swollen forehead and slowly sat down, pouring herself a cup of hot water. After taking a sip, her dry throat immediately became moist.

"Where's Chen? How is he? " After Xie Qingrong finished drinking the hot water, he immediately asked Shen Haoxuan about Xuanyuan Chen's situation.

She remembered that before she was exhausted, she had glanced in the direction of Xuanyuan Chen who had already lost too much blood and fainted.

Hearing Xie Qingrong's question, Shen Haoxuan unconsciously sat up straight with a serious face, "Your Highness, his condition isn't too good. The sword wound on his back was almost fatal. It had hit his heart, but fortunately, it had only hit a tiny bit. Otherwise, even if the Great Luo Immortal comes, he might not be able to save your highness' life. "

Xie Qingrong lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding all the emotions behind her eyes, but her right hand clenched into a fist, the dry nails digging into her palm, yet she did not seem to feel the pain, not caring at all.

"Is he awake?" Xie Qingrong worriedly asked.

Xuanyuan Chen was blaming himself in his heart. He only took that sword strike for his because he wanted to save him. If it wasn't for him, he would definitely be safe and sound.

Shen Haoxuan shook his head and said softly, "Crown Princess, don't blame yourself too much."

However, how could Xie Qingrong not blame herself? After all, it was she who had caused Xuanyuan Chen such a serious injury.

Shen Haoxuan seemed to be able to discern the unease and sadness in Xie Qingrong's heart, and he consoled, "Crown Princess, I know that Your Highness is injured, and you are extremely upset. But since the damage already exists, we should take back our sadness, and find out who was the mastermind behind the plot to murder you and His Highness. That's the most crucial point. "

As he finished speaking, Shen Haoxuan's tone became extremely cold.

"Only by finding the mastermind can we avenge His Highness and prevent His Highness from receiving such a blow in vain!"

As matters stood, the most important thing to do now was to find out who had arranged for a large number of assassins at the borders of the Chu Country. This person had vicious thoughts. He wanted to settle Xuanyuan Chen and, and also frame Chu Country.

Once Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong died in the Chu Country, even if the incident wasn't caused by the Chu Country, the Chu Country would be in the dark, it was all a fight between the Heavenly Sage and the Chu Country, that person would only be able to reap the rewards.

That day, when Shen Haoxuan brought the people from the profound mechanism to the borders of the Chu Country, they saw countless swords thrusting towards Xie Qingrong.

The black tortoise did not even have the time to greet, it directly carried its sword and rushed into the midst of the black clothed assassins, breaking all the swords that had pierced Xie Qingrong, and attracting the black clothed man's attention.

After a round of fighting, the black clothed man was finally taken care of by them. They left a live one behind, carefully taking care of him, intending to bring him back to the Heavenly Sage for interrogation.

After taking care of the black clothed man, Shen Haoxuan realised that Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen were unconscious, especially Xuanyuan Chen's back which was severely pierced by someone, the wound was deep and blood was flowing profusely.

Originally, he wanted to bring Xuanyuan Chen back to the Heavenly Saint quickly to treat him, but the wound was too deep, so he decided not to overdo it. He found a doctor in a small town at the border of the Chu Country to treat the wound.

Currently, they were still staying in the inn and were under martial law at all times.

An assassin would at least think twice, especially one that wanted to kill Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong so recklessly, so they would definitely continue to look for other opportunities to kill him.

Xie Qingrong had already woken up from her coma, but she was still in a coma.

Inside Xuanyuan Chen's room, Black Turtle had personally brought people to guard it. Not even a mosquito could be let in, and Xie Qingrong's current body had not completely recovered yet. She still needed to rest.

That day, she was completely exhausted, and the side effects were severe. With the support of the servant girl, she slowly walked to Xuanyuan Chen's room.

She caressed Xuanyuan Chen's face which was as pale as paper, her lips were also snow-white without the slightest hint of blood as she quietly laid on the bed, her long eyelashes casting two small shadows on his pale white face.

It was as fragile as a beautiful piece of porcelain. A slight mistake could cause it to shatter.

The heartache and sadness in her heart caused her heart to ache. She clenched her fists and regained her unstable state of mind.

"Haoxuan, what do you think about this assassination attempt?" Xie Qingrong lowered her eyes as she spoke with an expressionless face.

Shen Haoxuan put her beloved tasseled fan away, and placed it on the table. He glanced at the unconscious Xuanyuan Chen lightly, and said coldly: "You have ill intentions, and want to cause trouble for yourself. What a temporary, two-bird plan."

"Cough, cough." Xie Qingrong coughed softly, covering her mouth, as she did not want the coughing to disturb Xuanyuan Chen, "I think I know who did this."

Shen Haoxuan nodded his head, as a guess formed in his mind.

Since she dared to hurt Xuanyuan Chen, then he might as well wait for her revenge.

Xie Qingrong said coldly in her heart. Cang Cang's expression revealed an ice-cold killing intent, and quickly retracted it.

"Black Turtle, your figure is almost the same as Chen. This time, you will replace Chen and openly return to the Heavenly Saint with me. As for Haoxuan, take Chen Chen and leave along the path, don't leave any evidence behind. " Xie Qingrong instructed without expression.

"Yes, sir." Xuan Wu stood behind Xie Qingrong and replied in a low voice.

Shen Haoxuan nodded, and added: "Crown Princess, I will hand over the thirty assassins of the Tianyi Pavilion to you, they will protect your safety, as for the remaining ten guards of the profound mechanism, they will protect His Highness the Crown Prince with me."

"Crown Princess, rest assured. I will definitely send His Highness the crown prince back to the capital with a clean tail, so that he won't be harmed again." As for you, you have to protect your own safety while trying to lure the enemy in. Otherwise, when His Highness wakes up and cannot see me, he will lose his temper again. "

"Yes." Xie Qingrong replied indifferently.

Although Xie Qingrong had guaranteed it, Shen Haoxuan was still a little worried. After all, Xie Qingrong's plan was to attract the attention of the mastermind, and if all the assassins gathered in one place and attacked Xie Qingrong with all their might, Xie Qingrong's life would be in danger.

That day, they had all seen Xie Qingrong's exhausted appearance.

Why not send some more people?

This thought cycled through Shen Haoxuan's mind and he suggested, "Crown Princess, the road to return to the Heavenly Sage is very long and is filled with difficulties. I'm afraid the thirty killers can't guarantee your safety. I will send a signal to the Tianyi Pavilion to set up an ambush along the way to meet you at any time, is that alright? "

"Alright. "As you wish." Xie Qingrong agreed with Shen Haoxuan's suggestion.

After all, to her, Xuanyuan Chen's safety was the most important thing. If doing so would let Shen Haoxuan feel a bit more at ease, then he would make the arrangements.
