The arrow whistled through the air, and Yin Tianlan was incapable of resisting it.

Suddenly, another two arrows shot out. One was aimed at Mu Qianyu, and the other at Yin Tianlan.

Moreover, these two arrows were different from ordinary arrows. They were extremely thick and as sharp as three ordinary arrows. They were no longer black but suffused with faint blue light.

I'm afraid that this poison is even stronger than the poison just now.

Yin Tianlan was busy handling the waves of rain of arrows, so she had no time to defend herself against the arrow.

Mu Qianyu had completely lost all of her strength and her consciousness became blurry.

Seeing that the two arrows were right in front of them, they did not expect to be suddenly shot out at the same time.

A white silhouette and a black figure floated down at the same time.

Just as Mu Qianyu opened her eyes, she saw that the person's jade-like face was covered with a layer of frost, her expression was filled with anxiety, and was no longer as calm as before.

"Xiao Yu."

The familiar voice was mixed with a bit of worry.

"Yes."

For some unknown reason, when he saw that person, Mu Qianyu's entire heart felt at ease. With a light grunt of assent, he lost consciousness.

"Lan Er, how are you?"

On the other side, Xiao Chengjin also caught Yin Tianlan.

"Cousin, I'm fine."

Yin Tianlan wiped the sweat off her forehead and turned to look at the unconscious Mu Qianyu, frowning.

"I'll leave this place to Sixth Brother. I'll take her back to treat the poison first."

Xiao Chengyi's expression froze as he looked at the person in his embrace who had her eyes closed. Once again, he felt nervous.

"Alright."

Xiao Chengjin also frowned, and moved his lips, but he could only say the word 'good'.

After Xiao Chengyi left, Xiao Chengjin looked at the broken arrows on the ground, then suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao Mengjia and Pan Yurou who were hiding far away.

"Six …" "Sixth brother."

This was the first time Xiao Mengjia saw her brother reveal such a fierce expression.

The imposing aura that was just about to grab Mu Qianyu immediately disappeared.

"Who did it?"

Xiao Chengjin frowned, a cold light faintly appearing in his eyes, his handsome face was filled with a sharp aura, and his entire body was covered with a cold killing intent.

It was not hard to tell that the Prince Qi was angry!

"No, not me."

Xiao Mengjia shook her head as she shivered.

"If it wasn't you, then who was it? It was clearly you who asked the guards to block Mu Qianyu, and you must have also arranged for the arrow to be shot from behind."

At this time, Yin Tianlan had already recovered.

Just as he regained his senses, he pointed at Xiao Mengjia and shouted.

"I only stopped her and wanted to teach her a lesson. I didn't put any cold arrows behind her back at all.

Towards the scene just now, even though Xiao Mengjia still had some lingering fear, facing Yin Tianlan's slander, she still retaliated in anger.

Pan Yurou tugged on Xiao Mengjia's sleeve, not saying a word, her face completely pale, obviously she had also received quite a bit of shock just now.

"Your Royal Highness, I didn't find the person who released the arrows."

After a thorough check, Ling Xiao did not find the person who shot the arrow. Everything was the same as before, there was nothing suspicious at all.

At this moment, the empress dowager's palace had quite a few people.

Consort Li, Huifei, Consort De and a few others were there.

Didn't you already send someone to invite them? There's also Rou Yi, Xie Yu, and Lan Er. Didn't they also say that they would be entering the palace today?

As she watched, most of the hour had passed and none of the people who had paid their respects had arrived, Her Majesty couldn't help but frown.

"I'm afraid there's something on the way here that's delayed. Empress Dowager, don't be anxious. Perhaps we'll be there in a bit."

Huifei sat on the right side of the empress dowager and smiled decently.

Consort De couldn't help but snort lightly, with an unhappy expression, "It's fine if it's others, but didn't those three girls from Zheng Family live with Xian Consort Sis? Why are they so slow?"

Amongst them, only the Consort Li remained silent. She had been sitting on the side the entire time with her eyes slightly closed.

No one answered Consort De's words. It was hard to avoid the unpleasantness on the surface.

He just so happened to see Consort Li drowsy and couldn't help but mock him. "Big sister Consort Li, the emperor didn't go to your place yesterday, why are you still so tired? The empress dowager is about to fall asleep."

Consort Li did not answer, her eyes still closed.

"Little Sister Consort Li?"

Huifei frowned, feeling that something was amiss.

Consort Li still did not answer.

This time, even the empress dowager looked at Consort Li twice.

The servant girl, Cai'Er, who was beside Consort Li, hurriedly reached out and gently nudged her master.

Unexpectedly, with a push, Consort Li fell to the ground and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.

Huifei and Consort De immediately stood up.

The empress dowager was also extremely surprised as she ordered the maidservants to call for the imperial physician.

At this time, Xiao Chengyi carried the poisoned and unconscious Mu Qianyu straight to the Blue Creek Pool.

The Blue Creek Pool was at the westernmost corner of the Imperial Palace, and it was an extremely large hot spring.

Furthermore, it was not an ordinary hot spring, but a veritable medicinal spring. It was said that many precious medicinal herbs were used in the pond, and in addition to the hot spring water that was drawn from underground, a medicinal spring was formed.

Blue Creek Pool could cure ordinary poisons, and if a person was struck by an extremely poisonous poison, they could at least expel the poison using their Blue Creek Pool with double the result and half the effort.

However, due to the protection of the royal family's Dark Guard, ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

As a result, right when Xiao Chengyi approached the Blue Creek Pool, a dozen or so black figures soundlessly floated down.

These people were all dressed in black, their faces covered by a veil that only revealed a pair of sharp eyes.

"Prince Li, please stay put. Without the emperor's order, no one is allowed to enter."

The Dark Guard leader extended his hand out to block Xiao Chengyi's path.

"Scram, all crimes will be blamed on me."

Xiao Chengyi's sharp eyes swept across the crowd, his palm striking the people in front of him, wanting to rush in.

The Dark Guard leader dodged Xiao Chengyi's palm attack and frowned, he did not say anything and only waved his hand at his comrade.

Immediately, a dozen or so Dark Guard s surrounded him.

Mu Qianyu had already lost consciousness, lying in Xiao Chengyi's embrace in a daze. The blood that flowed out from his shoulder was no longer bright red, but had turned black.

Mu Qianyu's face was also extremely unsightly, a dark layer had already covered her originally rosy face.

If this continued, the deadly poison would invade his internal organs and leave him with no hope of survival.

"Zhui Feng!"

Xiao Chengyi tightly hugged the person in his embrace, his jade-like face was already filled with a sharp aura, and was no longer as gentle as before.

He swept away the person in front of him with his palm, using a hundred percent of his strength.

Right after that, four black figures descended. They were precisely Xiao Chengyi's four great Dark Guard, Zhui Feng, Soul Chaser, Zhui Ying, and Zhui Wu.

As the Four Great Dark Guard descended, they were immediately entangled with the royal family's Dark Guard.

Seeing Xiao Chengyi calling out his men, the leader of the Dark Guard knew that Xiao Chengyi must definitely break into his Blue Creek Pool.

He didn't dare to disobey the emperor's orders. He immediately took out a signal flare and threw it out.

The blue signal flare shot straight into the sky, blooming with a magnificent splendor.

Xiao Chengyi frowned, his killing intent filling the air.

This was a signal to summon the other Dark Guard s within the palace.

Once these people stopped him, he would not be able to enter the Blue Creek Pool.

He lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms who was getting worse and worse. Suddenly, his heart tightened.

At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, he absolutely couldn't let her die!

Without hesitating any longer, he pulled out the sword from his waist, picked up a sharp sword flower and pierced towards the Dark Guard Leader.
