Soon after, with a "pu" sound, Yan Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood and woke up. His expression was gloomy, his hands were clutching his chest, as he stood up with difficulty.
"Prince, you're awake!"
Wei Jin cried out in alarm. From what the imperial physician had said, the medicine the prince had been given was not light at all, he would not be able to wake up in a short period of time.
Unless the person being drugged had a strong consciousness and was able to forcefully use inner force to force back the medicine's medicinal properties, this kind of behavior would be very harmful to the person's body.
Judging from the prince's appearance, it was most likely what the imperial physician had said.
Wei Jin was drenched in cold sweat, but Yan Yuan didn't bother to reply as he stumbled towards Liu Ruo Qing's direction.
"The prince is awake."
When Qi Feng and the others saw Yan Yuan coming over, their eyes shined for a moment, and then, saw the blood at the corner of Yan Yuan's mouth, their expressions suddenly stiffened, and they ran over.
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness."
"…"
Everyone had yet to speak, but Yan Yuan had already unsheathed the sword on his waist, causing them to see a white shadow flash past their eyes, and when they could see clearly again, Yan Yuan was already rushing towards Ye Man's direction.
Seeing Yan Yuan coming over, the sound around the mouth of Ye Man's mouth paused for a bit as panic rose on his face. Before he could think of a way out, he felt a sharp pain on his shoulder as the sword in Yan Yuan's hand had already pierced through his shoulder blade.
At the same time, the sound coming from his flute also stopped.
had not expected the sound of it stopping abruptly, because it had begun to use all of its strength to deal with Ye Man. Now that Ye Man had suddenly stopped, she was actually pushed back quite a few steps by its own strength.
She knew that the flute music that she had released just now was completely capable of dealing with Ye Man, but not like before. The two sound waves were evenly matched, no one could suppress the other.
But she no longer had any martial arts, and there was not even the slightest bit of inner force left in her body, which was why she was in a evenly matched state with Ye Man.
At the same time, she didn't expect that Yan Yuan would wake up so quickly. The moment she saw him, she froze for a moment.
Liu Ruo Qing knew that this anger was directed at her.
At the moment, she had no time to explain. She had to get rid of the monsters as soon as possible, while they were still in a state of chaos.
And at this time, within the Prince Lu's Mansion, Liu Tian Xin who was infected with the cold from last night, suddenly opened her eyes. Her originally blurry and blank eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of shock.
She quickly got off the bed, hurriedly grabbed a few clothes and put them on before heading out.
"So that's how it is."
She had felt that something was amiss that day. She had felt that the Runes on the Holy Spirit Pendant were not as simple as Liu Ruo Qing made it out to be.
Just now, when she was in a coma, there were suddenly some familiar runes flashing through her mind. However, she was actually able to completely understand them.
Those runes were the ones she had seen on the Holy Spirit Pendant back in the King Jing Palace.
On it was a string of sounds, as well as the explanation of the four sentences.
Dew of the Goddess referred to the blood of the Holy Maiden, and their mother, the wife of the Jiang Guo Mansion's heir, was the only Holy Maiden left in Miao Land for hundreds of thousands of years.
Hundreds of years ago, a similar situation had occurred in the nursery, in which almost all the people were dead.
The Holy Spirit Race was originally protecting the peace of the nursery. At that time, the Ascendant Gods, the Holy Maiden, and the Holy Maiden all died while fighting those monsters. Only the Holy Maiden was left alive.
Afterwards, from generation to generation, only the crown prince's wife retained the bloodline of the Holy Maiden.
Originally, the catastrophe of a hundred years ago had not occurred. However, in the hundreds of years that had passed, no one had mentioned it.
The Holy Spirit Pendant also showed that if the Holy Maiden was pregnant with twins, the blood on them would be able to deal with the living dead at the same time. However, one of them would inevitably die of exhaustion.
Liu Tian Xin finally understood why Liu Ruo Qing's expression changed so drastically when she read the contents of the Holy Spirit Pendant, but did not tell her anything, only saying that her blood was useful.
Actually, Liu Ruo Qing had hidden the dangers that had been shared and poured all of them onto her head.
Liu Tian Xin's face turned ugly as she rushed out from Prince Lu's Mansion towards the city gate.
Why did she have to shoulder the responsibility of two people by herself?
At this time, the entire city was on guard, if Liu Tian Xin wanted to go out of the city, the guards would not dare to let him go, but because this person was the future Consort of the King Lu, they did not dare offend him, and could only persuade him with soft words.
"Princess Tian Xin, please do not make things difficult for us …"
"Do you know that the Crown Princess Jing is in danger? If something happens to her, will you be able to bear the consequences?"
Liu Tian Xin's face turned ugly as she looked at the city guard general, trying her best to calm down, "Listen to me, I have a way to save Crown Princess Jing, quickly let me out of the city."
Hearing that Liu Tian Xin mentioned Liu Ruo Qing, the City Guardian Warrior's face revealed a troubled expression. The hand holding the blade tightened.
"However, Prince Jing ordered that they must not open the city gates without permission when they return to the city."
"Why are you so stiff?"
Liu Tian Xin stomped her feet in worry, "If the King Jing blames anyone, I will bear the consequences myself."
"This …"
"Second Miss."
At this time, a voice filled with energy sounded out from behind her. Liu Tian Xin turned around and saw Jiang Ling, and his eyes immediately lit up. "Uncle Jiang."
She knew that Jiang Ling's martial arts were extremely high, and with Jiang Ling's lightness skills, it wouldn't be difficult for him to take her directly flying out of the city gate tower.
Immediately, she ran to his side, "Uncle Jiang, your sister is in danger. Take me out of the city now."
When Jiang Ling heard that Liu Ruo Qing was in danger, he did not bother to ask any further questions and directly jumped onto the city walls in front of Jiang Ling, and brought Liu Tian Xin along with him as he left the city.
As for Liu Ruo Qing, she did not have time to explain to Yan Yuan as she threw down the flute in her hand. Before anyone could react, she had already taken her sword from her waist and rushed towards the monsters.
Originally, those monsters had not been able to slow down because of the rhythm that Liu Ruo Qing had blown. When Liu Ruo Qing rushed over, she held the intention to finish the battle quickly as she stabbed the swords in her hands down towards the hearts of the monsters beside him.
"Qing Er!"
Yan Yuan cried out in shock as he watched the monster raise its hand and sink its sharp claws into the meat on Liu Ruo Qing's shoulder.
His breathing suddenly stopped, and his heart felt as though it was being torn apart. The claws of the monster pierced deeper into Liu Ruo Qing's shoulder.
At the scene, the monsters' frightened cries rose and fell, sounding especially terrifying.
The current Liu Ruo Qing only felt as if a few claws were piercing into her flesh, as if they wanted to tear the flesh on her shoulder into shreds.
