There was no one around, she tried to pull Song Chongjing but she could not, staring at Song Chongjing's black lips. As she thought this, she made up her mind. She covered her head with her sleeve, and with a single push, she pulled the dart out of the ground.

Song Chongjing groaned, but did not let out a sound.

"Powerful!" Xi Mengyao could not help but praise.

She then lowered her head to look at the wound and took a deep breath. Then she lowered her head to take a deep breath and suck out the blood. With a pfft, she spat on the ground.

After a few tries, Song Chongjing finally became a little clear-headed.

He had initially intended to do so, but the poison had spread too quickly and had caused him to faint. Now that most of the blood had been sucked out, he finally opened his eyes slightly and vaguely saw a woman.

Xi Mengyao?

Such a person appeared in his mind, but he was unsure. He only opened his mouth with a pale face in an attempt to call for her.

However, Xi Mengyao completely ignored them. She felt that she had really suffered a huge loss this time, luckily there weren't any ulcers in her mouth recently …

"You're lucky. If it was someone else, I wouldn't care!"

When Xi Mengyao saw that the blood that seeped out from her wound had already recovered to a bright red color, she rubbed her sore cheeks.

She stood up and spat out the blood. Only then did she turn around, only to discover that Song Chongjing had actually narrowed his eyes and was looking at her. Xi Mengyao chuckled, and then bent down slightly: "I saved you once, you better remember this well."

Song Chongjing thought that it was an illusion.

He wanted to speak, but as he propped himself up with his hands, his mind buzzed and he fainted.

Xi Mengyao was shocked, seeing him fall, she rushed over to support him, unable to hold back anymore she shouted: "What's wrong, your highness?"

But she had no answer.

Suddenly, footsteps came from her side.

Someone was chasing after them!

Xi Mengyao's expression changed, she took the lead and stood up, blocking Song Chongjing behind him.

"Who are you!" the man shouted.

When Xi Mengyao saw the person, she heaved a sigh of relief. This was Song Chongjing's follower, she had seen him twice before.

"It's me, Xi Mengyao. Your prince is injured, I helped him deal with it. Bring him back quickly! He's been poisoned! "

Xi Mengyao said as she sidestepped to get out of the way.

When the followers heard this, they were also startled.

"She might be the killer!" The people at the side did not recognize Xi Mengyao and stood up to make a ruckus.

"Who is it, speaking to me in such a manner!" Xi Mengyao said in a serious tone: "I am a dignified First Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion, why would I assassinate your Duke?"

Hearing this, the subordinate immediately reacted, he anxiously blocked the person who was about to step forward, coughed, and cupped his hands towards Xi Mengyao: "Miss's saving grace, this lowly one thanks you on behalf of the Duke."

"I don't need you to thank me. Hurry up and take him away. If you don't treat him now, he'll be poisoned to death!" Xi Mengyao was furious.

"Yes sir!" Hearing that, the follower did not dare delay any further, with a wave of his hand, he brought Song Chongjing onto the carriage behind him.

Looking at the horse carriage that was moving further and further away, Xi Mengyao felt a little strange. "If he's not fighting, then she's fighting to the end even if he comes back. How can she still be hunted down …"

Xi Mengyao never thought that her questions would be answered so quickly.

"Hey, have you heard? Prince Jing got back from a great victory, but was ambushed halfway! "

"Indeed, I've heard of it several times!"

"Is that so? I heard that the prince had returned victorious, but I didn't expect something like this to happen. "However, I heard that this is a trick of the heart. It's said that he wanted to marry a princess, so he doesn't think much of her."

Listening to their conversation, Xi Mengyao finally understood.

Returning from a battle and getting ambushed, this Lin Kingdom is really stingy.

She thought, but also felt helpless. This was, after all, the Prince Jing's business, and it had nothing to do with her.

However, these Attendant's words became more and more vivid, and in the end, they even seemed to have the intention of slandering them. When she heard this, she felt a little unhappy, and coughed before walking over.

When the servants saw that it was Xi Mengyao, they were shocked, lowering their heads, not daring to speak.

As she turned to leave, Xi Mengyao extended a hand to stop them: "Do you know what you just said?"

When the two maidservants heard this, their hearts skipped a beat and they didn't know how to respond.

Xi Mengyao sneered: "Just now, all of you were slandering me, Da Qing, in order to protect our country, a general fighting in the battlefield. What do you all think the Emperor would do if he were to hear this?"

Her casual words frightened the maidservants. They kneeled on the ground and begged for mercy, their heads breaking.

The maidservants were all startled. How could they dare to bear the burden of slandering someone?

Seeing that they were all so scared, Xi Mengyao also felt bored. She waved her hand: "Since you all know your wrongs, then go down, don't let me hear you twice!"

How could they dare to refuse? They quickly kowtowed, turned around, and left.

Xi Mengyao, however, remembered the pale look of the Prince Jing and sighed in his heart.

He wanted to go visit, but right at this moment.

She could faintly hear someone speaking, and it was the Prime Minister's voice.

Prince Jing Mansion.

Song Chongjing slowly woke up. For a moment, he still did not know what had happened to him, but he felt a splitting headache. When he sat up and looked around, he realized that he was in the Palace, and he also heaved a sigh of relief.

He turned to the guard beside him and asked with a frown, "What about the assassin?"

When the guard heard this, his face turned a little pale. He shook his head and said, "The thief escaped really fast. We couldn't catch him."

Song Chongjing frowned, and looked at him.

That person truly did not do his job well and did not dare to make any excuses.

Seeing that, the people around him rushed forward to smooth things over: "Although the thief did not catch him, but he had poisoned his weapon, so the prince's leg could not be kept. Luckily, we met someone important on the way, and saved him properly, so you are safe. This was heaven's blessing. Please do not be angry, and rest in peace to recuperate. "

"Calm down and recuperate?" Song Chongjing was helpless, "Even though you suffered a loss, you did not have the grace to use such despicable methods. I think that even if you want to be at ease, you will not be able to."

Song Chongjing thought for a while, then his eyes darkened. He asked again, "Do you know about this matter regarding the Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, the expression on his face also changed, and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that, Song Chongjing immediately understood something, and said coldly: "You all know that I hate people who are hiding things from me the most. Speak, what happened?"

Upon hearing these words, the retainer didn't dare to hide anything and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Zhang Xuan.

"Your servant doesn't dare to deceive Your Highness, but …"

"It's just that His Majesty has the heart to choose a good wife for His Highness. His Highness is blessed!" Before the guard could say anything, sharp laughter came from outside.

Song Chongjing looked up to see the emperor's chief eunuch standing at the door with a horsetail whisk in hand.

Song Chongjing frowned, but did not stand up, looked at the eunuch, and asked: "What do you mean?"

Seeing that he was not getting up, Chief Eunuch was also dissatisfied in his heart.

However, after considering how many times he had fought on the battlefield for the sake of the country and how soon he had awakened from his injuries, he did not say anything.

He just smiled and said, "Great Lin ordered his envoys to send news that they wanted to negotiate. Your majesty has already agreed! They wanted to send a princess over. The Emperor knew that the prince had worked hard, so he betrothed the princess to you! "

"What!"

Hearing that, Song Chongjing's face changed, he immediately patted the bed, and was about to sit up.

Unexpectedly, this movement was too big. He accidentally touched the wound and began to cough violently.

Seeing the situation, the eunuch did not dare step forward. He cupped his hands and said, "Your highness, do not think too much. The country is a major matter and the emperor is worried. You just have to stay at home and recuperate."

Song Chongjing stared at him, his eyes instantly turning gloomy and cold.

Chief Eunuch was shocked.

He had originally come here to pass down the order, so he was not afraid of anything. Seeing Song Chongjing like this, but was a little worried about his life, he quickly passed on the words of the emperor.

Song Chongjing leaned against the back of the bed, but he still managed to let out a sigh and sneer, "Soldiers, the blood that has been spilled on the battlefield has yet to turn cold, how could the emperor do such a foolish thing!"

His words gave the imperial bodyguards a fright. They hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Your Highness, don't say these words. If anyone hears them, send a message to the Emperor …"

Before he had even finished speaking, Song Chongjing had already coldly swept his gaze over him.

"So what if it's passed on? It's best if it's passed on. I just want to let him know that This King is definitely not going to let him know about this!"

His voice was quite loud.

The eunuch who had yet to leave heard his words and stopped in his tracks. He turned his head and gazed deeply at the eaves of the small building. Finally, he gave a cold snort and turned around to leave.
