In the east wing, Bi Su was constantly monitoring Xu Rouzhi's movements. Xu Rouzhi had said, that Su Leyao's people would very likely harm her, and as expected!

However, what about the guards of the manor who were arranged to guard outside the room? She had clearly arranged for people to protect the wangfei in the dark!

Bi Su panicked, and turned to fly towards Xu Rouzhi's side. However, the Masked Man beside her actually surrounded her quickly, and pierced right through her vitals. The array formation was obviously trying to detain her, and prevent her from escaping and saving Xu Rouzhi.

Bi Su's heart couldn't help but sink as she glanced at Lu Ming distractedly. If she were to ask Lu Ming for help, would he go and save the wangfei?

Seeing that Masked Man was getting closer and closer, she felt Chu Yixuan who was behind her take two steps back, opening up a small distance between his and herself. Xu Rouzhi's heart slowly sank.

Damn, Chu Yixuan really teamed up with Su Leyao? Deal with her together? So blatantly?

Therefore, tonight, she wanted to let Chu Yixuan bear witness to Su Leyao killing her, not to give her the chance to do so, but to … Lead the way? Ignite and set himself on fire? To draw a sovereign into an urn?

No, that's not right. The last mistake was not luring the monarch into an urn, but himself into an urn!

Chu Yixuan took two steps back, and distanced himself from her, which meant, he was prepared to stand by the side and watch her die!

There was nowhere for Xu Rouzhi to retreat to, so she could only retreat step by step into the room, towards the trap set by the opponent.

— She actually wanted to break through the encirclement and rush down the stairs, then slip away with ice to escape the Jinxiu House! But those damned Masked Man formed a circle, their swords linked together, she wanted to rush out? Unless they were prepared to break into two pieces!

As she retreated, Xu Rouzhi secretly cursed in her heart. Damn it, it was still Chu Yixuan's turn in the end! Was it because she underestimated her opponent, or was it because this orc Chu Yixuan was too cunning!

From what she felt, Su Leyao was only a proud and arrogant young miss of the imperial palace. Although her heart was dark, she had not gone so far, it seemed like she had misjudged her situation, she thought, no matter what, Chu Yixuan did not dare let her die in the Prince Qi Palace, so her actions had all been a little too presumptuous.

Forget it, since she had already died once, there was no need to be afraid of dying again!

This time, even if she died, she would still have to drag a few people down with her to make it worth it!

Xu Rouzhi's hand trembled as she instantly grabbed the small white porcelain bottle. She had to pluck several branches of the oleander leaf from the courtyard, and only then was she able to grind and grind the few small bottles of oleander powder. It was enough to make hundreds of people vomit and diarrhoea, and their limbs go numb.

Despite the beauty of the oleander flowers, its leaves and branches are poisonous. Not only can it dilate blood vessels and rapidly decrease blood pressure, but it can also affect adrenal gland activity, inhibit the central nervous system and respiratory center. Twenty or thirty leaves were enough to cause a strong man to die with difficulty.

Tonight, if she could not protect herself with this bottle of oleander powder, Xu Rouzhi would have to pull a few companions, so as to not be lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs.

A few long swords were already pointing towards Xu Rouzhi's heart. At the same time, Xu Rouzhi suddenly pulled out the cork, and Little White bottle was about to fly towards a few Masked Man s, but Chu Yixuan moved his body suddenly, and actually swept towards the encirclement like a gale!

Without even being able to see what he had done, Xu Rouzhi only felt the bodies of the Masked Man s in front of him stiffen slightly!

Soon after, she felt a gust of cold wind blow from behind him. Xu Rouzhi turned her head in shock, and realised that the four Masked Man s in the room were all thrusting their swords at her!

Xu Rouzhi subconsciously retreated, only to feel a hand suddenly hug her waist from behind. Xu Rouzhi instantly felt her entire body becoming light, and she flew up into the air as light as a swallow!

F * ck f * ck, this was a godly situation!

Xu Rouzhi, who was randomly flying, actually somersaulted 360 degrees in the air without any guidance, and almost crashed into the roof! Subconsciously, she lowered her head and heavily fell to the ground.

At this time, the porcelain bottle had already left his hands and the dark medicinal powder quietly poured out, floating in the air and falling towards Masked Man's head!

A mysterious figure turned around like a tornado, extending its ape arms. Without delay, it grabbed onto Xu Rouzhi's waist.

Instantly, Xu Rouzhi safely landed on the ground. Her warm but very solid body gently landed beside the stove at the side.

What was going on?

What was going on?

Just as Xu Rouzhi was startled, she turned to look at the person who had thrown her up into the air and then safely carried her back to the ground. That handsome pale face — — If it wasn't Chu Yixuan, who could it be?

Xu Rouzhi was stunned!

Just now, when the Masked Man s were attacking her, she clearly saw the Chu Yixuan who was bullying her. Why would Chu Yixuan save her? When they were at the door, he had clearly taken two steps back, putting some distance between them! So it wasn't to watch her die, but to make it convenient for him to make a move?

What made Xu Rouzhi even more confused was, f * ck, wasn't Chu Yixuan a cripple? But how could he have looked like a cripple when he had held her, tossed her, and picked her up with such agility and ease?

Looking at the Masked Man whose hands were anxiously waving the powder, Chu Yixuan hugged Xu Rouzhi's waist with one hand and covered his nose with the other. Hurry up and cover your nose! "

"Oh, oh!" Xu Rouzhi immediately covered her mouth and nose, then comforted Chu Yixuan, "It's alright, I have the antidote!"

"These people have their faces covered, what effect can you have on them by sprinkling medicine?" Chu Yixuan released his hand, his black eyes revealing a cold glint, "Step back!"

Ah …

Xu Rouzhi stared blankly at him before obediently retreating a few steps. She looked at Chu Yixuan's tall figure blocking in front of her dumbly.

He wanted to challenge the Masked Man in front of him?

Just him alone … Cripple?

However, it was clear that Chu Yixuan was not a cripple!

When Masked Man swept away the medicinal powder in front of him, and faced Chu Yixuan who was standing in front of the jade tree that was like a gust of wind, he could not help but look at each other in dismay!

Then, the Masked Man took out his sword at the same time and thrusted at Chu Yixuan!

The Fourth Miss never said that the Prince Qi would protect the Princess Qi!

If they only wanted to kill Princess Qi, and not Prince Qi, then their intentions would be too obvious. It would harm Prince Qi and Fourth Miss!

As a result, although the moves of the Masked Man looked ruthless, they did not have much power that could injure them. Furthermore, because Xu Rouzhi had sprinkled medicinal powder on them before, they had a good reason to pretend that they were poisoned, and before the sword even touched Chu Yixuan's body, they were all knocked down, and were no different from drunk people.

Xu Rouzhi wasn't able to differentiate clearly whether these people were truly or feigned to be poisoned. After all, even if they were to cover their noses, it was difficult for them to not inhale some oleander powder. However, when Chu Yixuan horizontally kicked the Masked Man s, Xu Rouzhi was still able to see the strength behind it.

Chu Yixuan raised his leg and swept it towards the Masked Man s like a flaming meteor. After two "aiyo, aiyo" sounds, two of the Masked Man s suddenly fell to the ground. The other two staggered a few steps, and almost fell down as well.

"Who dares to attack again?" Chu Yixuan asked harshly.

How could he not make a move! The Fourth Miss saying that she must take Xu Rouzhi's life was a great matter that concerned the entire Su Family. With such an important order, who would dare to disobey?

Masked Man exchanged glances, and those who fell slowly got up. The other Masked Man s saw that it was not appropriate to face Chu Yixuan head on, so they might as well finish Xu Rouzhi first! Therefore, he immediately turned towards Xu Rouzhi, the swords in his hands split into the upper, middle and lower paths, and slashed towards Xu Rouzhi!

Chu Yixuan frowned, he suddenly turned around, his long sleeve swinging out a burst of powerful force, hitting one of the Masked Man s, causing him to immediately stagger and throw himself to the side.

Chu Yixuan swept to Xu Rouzhi's side like the wind, and once again wrapped his arms around her slender waist. Putting more strength into his legs, he kicked the brazier beside him into the air, causing scarlet red charcoal to fly out from the brazier and splash it onto the bodies of the Masked Man s.

The Masked Man was startled and quickly dodged. Chu Yixuan carried Xu Rouzhi and steadily landed in front of the window.

Outside the door, Bi Su's figure flew over and blocked the door with her sword. She asked urgently, "My prince, my princess, are you two alright?"

Xu Rouzhi immediately said, "We are fine, Bi Su, quickly throw the net!"

"This is bad!" When the Masked Man saw that the situation was not good, he immediately retreated and gathered in a row. He whispered, "The situation is not good, let's retreat!"

A whistle sounded, and the Masked Man outside the east wing immediately began to evacuate.

Just as Masked Man was about to rise into the air and retreat like the tidewaters, he was enveloped by a big net that was cast down towards his head.

The fish that had escaped the net fled in fright and disappeared into the night.

Xu Rouzhi, who had not yet recovered from her fear, leaned on Chu Yixuan's chest weakly and turned his head around. He looked up at Chu Yixuan who was looking at her with calm eyes and asked, "Which leg are you sick on?"

Chu Yixuan's lips curved upwards, revealing a faint smile, "Princess, which of my legs do you hope I have any problems with?"

"Why do I feel like both your legs are fine?" Xu Rouzhi was startled.

Chu Yixuan held her shoulders to steady her, while he walked towards the door. However, he had already gotten rid of his previous agility, and his steps were still limping.

"Not bad, I even prepared a big net." Chu Yixuan stopped at the door and looked up at the dark sky, "Unfortunately, someone still managed to escape."

Xu Rouzhi silently walked to his side, a pair of bright eyes staring straight at him: "Aren't you worried that those fish that escaped the net would spread the news of you pretending to be crippled?"

"My leg was broken when I was thirteen. All of the doctors in the Grand Hospital can testify that even Big Brother Crown Prince did not suspect it."

"But, you still know martial arts …"

"I don't know martial arts." The smile on Chu Yixuan's lips was still faint, "It's just that, in the nick of time, I used all of my strength, regardless of anything else."

Still pretending!

Xu Rouzhi clapped his hands, "Alright then, you won't be lame and you won't know martial arts. "Your highness, you've worked hard. Hurry up and sit down and rest, I'll go grab two people and feed them to the scorpions, and see if they will give out their names. Let's see who exactly is trying to kill me."

Looking at Xu Rouzhi who was about to walk out, Chu Yixuan suddenly extended his hand out and grabbed her arm: "I seem to have been poisoned. Where's the antidote? "
