They made seven turns and entered the backyard, just as they reached Xie Qingrong's small courtyard, Black Turtle couldn't take it anymore and fell onto the ground, fainting. And Xie Qingrong, who was being carried by him, was also lying on the ground, unconscious.
Nuan Xiang and Wen Yu heard the sound of a heavy object landing outside their house, looked at each other, and immediately went outside with oil lamps.
Warm Jade immediately covered Nuan Xiang's mouth and whispered, "Don't scream, hurry up and bring the young miss and this young master in. "You have to be quick, and not attract anyone's attention."
At this time, within the Prince Chen's Mansion, Xuanyuan Chen had just finished bathing.
The White Tiger appeared behind Xuanyuan Chen without a sound and kneeled on the ground, reporting, "If wangfei is in trouble, I ask for your instructions."
Xuanyuan Chen paused while wiping his hands, a dark light flashed past his eyes, and he said: "What did you say?"
The White Tiger maintained its kneeling posture and said again, "I've just received news from the general's estate that the wangfei has been assassinated and heavily injured. Please give your instructions, Your Highness. "
Xuanyuan Chen clenched his hands, and then released them after a while, and instructed White Tiger: "Go to the Lin Clan to look for Lin Mu, get him to quickly head to the General's Estate!"
The White Tiger replied with a "yes". With a flash, it disappeared from sight.
When it was almost midnight, the sky turned dark, leaving only a few rays of starlight in the sky.
Xuanyuan Chen stood on the street where Xie Qingrong was assassinated, the Azure Dragon was in front constantly inspecting the corpses.
Not long after, the Azure Dragon came over. It cupped its hands and reported, "Reporting to Your Highness, these killers are all dead. Most of them died under the Black Tortoise's sword. A few died in one hit."
Then, he handed over the two arrows to Xuanyuan Chen and continued, "Your Highness, you've also discovered this."
Xuanyuan Chen looked at the arrow in his hand and threw it behind him, his lips curled into a cold smile, "Go check." He didn't hear the sound of the arrow hitting the ground, only a low "Yes" sound coming from behind him.
After giving out his instructions, Xuanyuan Chen started using his Qing Gong and headed towards the general's residence with the green dragon following closely behind.
None of them noticed a figure flash past the high attic on one side of the street.
The lights in the side courtyard of the General's Estate were brightly lit.
Warm Jade sat on the side of the bed and anxiously waited for Nuan Xiang to bring the doctor over. However, she waited on the left and right, waiting for Nuan Xiang to arrive.
She had to get up and go to the door.
Just as she reached the entrance of the courtyard, she saw Nuan Xiang stumbling as she ran over, followed by an old man carrying a small wooden chest on his back.
Judging from the way the old man was dressed, there was no doubt that he was a doctor. She immediately opened another courtyard door, and Nuan Xiang ran in front of her as he asked while gasping for breath, "How is Miss?"
Warm Jade pulled Nuan Xiang's hand and said: "Let the doctor have a look at little miss first, we'll talk about the rest later." With that, she turned to the old doctor behind Nuan Xiang and said respectfully: "Please come in."
The old doctor nodded and followed the warm jade into the inner room.
In the inner room, Xie Qingrong lied on the bed with her body leaned forward, his brows knitted tightly, and her lips that were dyed with ice color tightly pursed up, as though she was suffering from a great pain.
When Nuan Xiang saw the weakened Xie Qingrong, her eyes immediately reddened.
The old doctor sat on the chair by Xie Qingrong's bed and probed around. He took out a clean white kernels from the medicine box and placed it on Xie Qingrong's wrist, then began to cut her meridians.
He cut his pulse for a moment, shook his head, sighed, and said, "Get ready."
When Nuan Xiang heard it, large tears immediately rolled down her face. With a plop, he kneeled on the ground and kowtowed continuously, crying as she begged the old doctor.
"Doctor, please save my family's young miss, please save my family's young miss."
"It's not that this old man isn't willing to save your young lady, it's just that your young lady's injury is coincidentally at the back of your heart. If you recklessly pull out the arrow, you will definitely lose too much blood and die."
Warm Jade's eyes were also red as she knelt on the ground and sobbed, "Doctor, I beg of you." My Miss is General Xie's only daughter, you must save her. "
The old doctor was also shocked. The maidservant who brought him in just now had entered through the side door, so he didn't pay much attention. He thought that she was just an unfavoured young miss. He didn't expect her to be the general's daughter.
The old doctor looked at the two kneeling maidservants and helplessly said, "This old man can only extend the time for this young lady. As for the rest, I'll have to invite someone else."
He took out a bundle of strips from the medicine box and unfolded it. Inside the strips were densely packed silver needles of varying sizes. He took out one of the extremely thin silver needles and inserted it into Xie Qingrong's right index finger. He twisted it slowly, and like the first silver needle, he pierced all five of his fingers with silver needles.
It was said that all his fingers ached because of it. Xie Qingrong seemed to have felt something and frowned. Seeing Xie Qingrong's frown, the old doctor started to massage the silver needles on his middle finger.
"Cough — —" A mouthful of blood was coughed out immediately following Xie Qingrong's cough, causing the blood clot to appear. Warm Jade immediately used a handkerchief to wipe away the blood at the corner of Xie Qingrong's mouth.
The old doctor pushed the silver needles back into the cloth and sighed, "Miss Xie can at most hold on until tomorrow morning." There seemed to be a trace of regret and helplessness in his voice.
At this time, outside the main gate of the General's Residence, Lin Mu was waiting for him.
Xuanyuan Chen rushed over to the general's manor with his night dew covering his body. Without waiting for Lin Mu to greet him, Xuanyuan Chen climbed over the wall and headed straight for the courtyard where Xie Qingrong was.
Seeing that, Lin Mu emotionlessly followed behind Xuanyuan Chen.
Xuanyuan Chen entered the courtyard with a gloomy face, only to see the house lit up. He pushed open the door directly, and saw Xie Qingrong, who was dressed in black and had a bloody arrow stuck in her back.
Immediately, a hint of darkness flashed past his eyes. Seeing Black Turtle, who was also unconscious, lying on the soft ground, his expression changed and he quickly returned to his calm state.
