"Your Highness, there is poison in the air, please take Miss Shen and leave this place as soon as possible."
Only then did Yan Xiao come back to his senses, and carried Shen Qin out of the room. After walking a few steps, he stopped once more, and the light in his eyes suddenly froze as a wave of killing intent condensed in the depths of his eyes.
"There's someone here!" Kill without mercy! "
After saying that, he carried Shen Qin and left the secret passage, followed by a burst of intense fighting sounds. Yan Xiao did not even look back as he carried Shen Qin and left the courtyard.
Prince Rui's Palace —
"Imperial Physician, how is it?"
The lines on Yan Xiao's face tightened, causing the Imperial Physician to panic a little.
"My lord, Miss Shen has been living in the dark tunnel with thin air for a long time, her breathing is ragged, and she has been poisoned. Right now, her brain is partially injured, this lowly one needs to go back and discuss with my comrades about a more suitable treatment."
Yan Xiao's face became a little colder. His thin lips, at this time, had been pursed into a line, and revealed a bit of a cold color.
"What does that mean? This King only wants to know when Miss Shen will wake up. "
"This …"
The imperial physician didn't dare speak carelessly. It was fine if he hurt her somewhere else, but her brain was injured. How could he explain when she would wake up?
"Return... Your Highness, this... That's not certain. "
Yan Xiao's pupils shrank, and the coldness in his eyes grew stronger.
"What do you mean you can't say?"
The Imperial Physician was scared stiff by Yan Xiao's voice that sounded like snow on a frozen mountain. He wiped his forehead with his sleeve and said honestly, "Miss Shen's brain was damaged, so this matter can't be taken lightly. Whether or not you wake up depends on Miss Shen.
The imperial physician looked at Yan Xiao, and didn't dare say anything more.
Yan Xiao's heart was in his throat. Seeing the imperial physician looking as if he wanted to say something, but was unable to, his gaze was so cold that it seemed as if it could freeze the imperial physician.
"As long as... The longer the better. "
Yan Xiao suddenly felt his vision go black, his steps staggered, and he held onto the side of the bed to barely stand.
Forever... Never wake up …
How can I?
Before he left Jingcheng, this girl was still fine, but now that he had returned, he had to prepare himself to watch her sleep forever?
Yan Xiao was unwilling to accept this truth, and also did not want to believe it.
He waved a hand, signaling the imperial physician to withdraw.
Right now, it was useless for him to get angry with the imperial physician.
After the imperial physician left, he sat down beside Shen Qin and held her in his palm. Her fingers were very cold, and through his palm, Yan Xiao could feel that all the blood in his body was cold.
Ever since she had grown up, he had never held her hand like this before. Suddenly, the little girl in his eyes was now a twenty year old girl.
At the Pavilion Master's age, if it were anyone else, the child would have already gone out to play.
He remembered the day he had returned to the capital, when he had met her in the palace. He had teased her because she was old, and that was how she had refuted him.
But now, the girl who had been unconvinced in front of him was lying quietly in front of him. He didn't know what to do.
"Qin Er, I am the Pavilion Master. I order you to wake up immediately. Tell me, what exactly did you do? Why are you acting on your own and not reporting this to me?"
Shen Qin seemed to be able to hear what Yan Xiao said. After Yan Xiao finished speaking, she frowned and struggled to move his lips.
Yan Xiao sat beside Shen Qin for a while and rubbed his cheeks to calm himself down.
He got up and walked out of the house. Then, he said to the people around him: "Have you informed Master Shen?"
"Yes, we have already sent someone to invite the Master Shen."
"Yes."
Yan Xiao walked out with a gloomy face, "Send someone to get Mr. Lu over here."
"Yes."
After his subordinate left, the butler hurriedly walked towards him. "Prince, Lord Wei is here. He's waiting for you in the hall."
"Got it."
There was a trace of weariness in his hoarse voice as he walked towards the main hall.
Jing Zhao Yin was waiting in the hall. He did not have the mood to drink the tea the servants brought him.
Seeing Yan Xiao coming over, he immediately went up and greeted him, "Sixth Prince."
"Where is he?"
"He escaped."
On Wei Jin's face, there was a tinge of regret, "That person's martial arts are extremely high. Even so many of us are not his match."
Yan Xiao squinted, his Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's branch hall master was already there, plus Jing Zhao Yin's troops, these people were definitely not ordinary people, they actually could not catch him.
Who exactly was that person? To have such skills, she was definitely not an ordinary guard, who was he working for, and what was she doing locking Qin Er up there?
If he did not find that place today, and did not open the entrance from the outside, that person and Qin Er would both die.
How generous did the other party have to be to be willing to give up on such an expert to accompany Qin Er in death?
"Did you leave any clues?"
Wei Jin still shook his head, a look of shame on his face, "This official is incompetent, please punish me."
How could Yan Xiao have the mind to investigate this matter? Qin Er appeared there silently, it must be because she noticed something.
But now that she was unconscious, even if he was anxious, it would be useless.
On the other side, Yan Yuan, under Lu Yuan He's repeated warnings, continued to recuperate in the palace. The wound that could not be healed caused him to uncontrollably become a little restless.
"Your highness, your subordinate wishes to seek an audience."
Outside the study room, the dark guard's voice sounded.
"Come in."
The door to the study room opened, and a dark guard came in. It was the second ranked King Jing Palace's dark guard, Tian Shu.
Tian Shu rarely saw Yan Yuan in private, so when he took the initiative to seek an audience with him, it surprised Yan Yuan.
"What is it?"
Tian Shu walked forward a few steps, moving closer to Yan Yuan. "Your Highness, this subordinate is here to look for you, it's regarding the wangfei."
Upon hearing that it had something to do with Liu Ruo Qing, Yan Yuan's originally nonchalant expression immediately turned serious. "What's wrong with the wangfei?"
Tian Shu hesitated for a moment, then said to Yan Yuan, "When this subordinate was protecting the wangfei in River City, he gave her a plate from that crazy old man."
"Brand?" "What brand?"
In Yan Yuan's heart, an uneasy feeling flashed.
If it was an irrelevant sign, there was no need for Tianshu to come and see him in private.
"According to what the old man said, that plate was left behind by the assassins that killed the entire Jiang Family."
Yan Yuan did not ask, and only indicated for Tian Shu to continue.
"Subordinate... Your subordinate recognizes that brand. "
Tian Shu's words made Yan Yuan stand up from his chair in shock.
Tianshu was born a dark guard, and his range of movement was only limited to the people he was protecting.
Besides being in charge of guarding him, he also stayed in the royal guard camp.
