Upon seeing this, Nan Yu Lan's master let go of Shang Yiqing and threw himself at the Imperial Jade Seal. At this moment, Xiao Tianyuan shot his sword through the air towards his master. The sword rose from the ground and struck his master. Nan Yulan cried out in alarm: "Master …"

When the Imperial Jade Seal fell to the ground, the Southern Wulan master struggled to crawl towards it, "The Imperial Jade Seal … "The Imperial Jade Seal …"

"Master …"

Nan Yu Lan's master's hand and the Imperial Jade Seal were less than three inches away from each other. They stopped there, and the blood that flowed out from his body dragged a dark bloody wound on the ground. He froze there, and then died.

"Master, please wake up …" "Master …" However, Nan Yu Lan could no longer hear her master's response. She hugged her master's body tightly, and her lifeless face became ashen. Nan Yulan cried out in grief …

Xiao Tian Yuan was also startled. He didn't think that he would actually kill Nan Yu Lan's master with just one sword strike. Although he and Nan Yu Lan were irreconcilable, he still owed her a favor because Nan Yu Lan let him off that day. This caused him to feel uneasy.

"Miss Nan …" He tried to talk her out of it.

"I'm going to kill you …" His voice was helpless and mournful, and he was unable to control his grief and indignation.

Xiao Tianyuan gave a long sigh, "Miss Nan, no matter what, you should bury your master first."

At this moment, Shang Yiqing took the opportunity to run over to Xiao Tian Yuan's side. She had a faint feeling that there was an unusual relationship between Xiao Tian Yuan and this woman.

When Nan Yu Lan looked at her master again, she couldn't help but tear up. "Master …"

At this moment, the pursuers were already very close, very far away. Xiao Tianyuan looked at the troops behind and only said to South Yulan: "Quickly leave, the pursuers are here."

Nan Yu Lan glared at him resentfully, and could only pick up her master's corpse and escape. Under the moonlight, it was as if her figure was incomparably lonely.

Shang Yiqing looked at Xiao Tianyuan, "Brother Xiao, thank you for saving me."

Xiao Tianyuan smiled faintly, "There's no need to speak any further. I'll send you back to your residence now."

The pursuers quickly rushed over. Kong Youwei, upon seeing this, asked Xiao Tian Yuan, "Where is the assassin?"

Xiao Tianyuan said dejectedly, "One died, the other …" He hesitated for a moment before replying with great difficulty, "Let her escape …"

"Is Imperial Concubine Rong alright?" Kong You had to change the subject to see that the situation had been reversed.

From the incident just now, Shang Yiqing did not have a good impression of Kong Youzi. She only laughed coldly, "Fortunately, General Xiao managed to make it in time. If your army had arrived, I'm afraid this wangfei would have long been killed on the streets!"

"Imperial Concubine Rong, this …" Kong Youcai's face reddened as he said guiltily, "Since the wangfei is unharmed, then let General Xiao bring her back to the mansion. I want to bring some people to continue the search for the murderer!"

If Xiao Tian Yuan were not here, Shang Yiqing would have snatched Bai Kong's hand. She suppressed the anger in her heart and said coldly: "Then why don't you guys go chase after him?"

Kong Youwei led his subordinates and quickly gave chase. Xiao Tianyuan picked up the Imperial Jade Seal and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace to present it to the emperor. Now, I'd better send my wangfei back."

Shang Yiqing nodded.

It was already late in the night, and the moonlight was like water. Shang Yiqing walked a few steps and asked in confusion, "Brother Xiao, do you know that girl from before?"

In front of Shang Yiqing, Xiao Tianyuan did not feel that there was anything much to hide. He nodded, "She is the person who poisoned Ning Wang, Nan Yulan."

"She is Southcloud?" Shang Yiqing was surprised, but she felt it was even weirder. She noticed that Xiao Tian Yuan seemed to be very familiar with this Nan Yu Lan, and couldn't help but ask, "You know her?"

"Not long ago, I was ordered to capture her, but... I let her escape. "

Shang Yiqing felt that Xiao Tian Yuan's words were a little vague, but it was inconvenient for her to ask any further. He turned around to look at Xiao Tian Yuan, because in that battle, his body was slashed in many places and even his hair was cut off. He felt shocked and embarrassed, but he was also worried, "Brother Xiao, how are you feeling?"

"It's just a superficial wound. It doesn't matter." As he said this, Xiao Tianyuan brought the horse over. "Esteemed wangfei, please get on the horse."

Shang Yiqing nodded.

When Xiao Tianyuan brought her to the Residence of Crown Prince, the door opened wide and Fang Zinan ordered his men to lead their horses out. He was planning to enter the palace to see what was going on, but he didn't expect to see Xiao Tianyuan bring his men back.

"You all … Why are you two together? " There was a trace of displeasure on Fang Zinan's face. For some reason, whenever he saw Shang Yiqing and Xiao Tianyuan alone together, he would feel uncomfortable.

"I was kidnapped by someone in the palace just now. Fortunately, Big Brother Xiao arrived in time. Otherwise, I would have definitely been killed!" Shang Yiqing immediately told Fang Zinan the reason.

However, Fang Zinan's expression didn't ease up at all because he saw that Shang Yiqing was only wearing undergarments, and Xiao Tianyuan's clothes were also unkempt. This caused his heart to feel a deep stabbing pain. Although the safety of Shang Yiqing was of great concern to him, but … But the scene before him caused him to be unable to help but feel puzzled.

Xiao Tian Yuan also saw that Fang Zi Nan's expression was a little strange. He and Fang Zi Nan were friends for more than ten years, how could he not know Fang Zi Nan's personality. He took a step forward and said, "The princess is fine now. I still need to assist Master Kong in catching the fugitive. Goodbye!" As he spoke, he turned around.

"Halt …" The person who spoke was Shang Yiqing. Knowing that Xiao Tian Yuan was injured, she called out to him, "Brother Xiao, don't be in such a hurry to leave. You're injured, so you should stop the bleeding before leaving."

"Qing'Er, General Xiao still has something to take care of. Don't mess around, why don't you go back to the residence to change." Fang Zinan said coldly.

Shang Yiqing was dissatisfied, turning to him, "What do you mean?"

"Can't you see what I mean?" Fang Zinan sneered.

Shang Yiqing was getting anxious, "Can't you tell that Brother Xiao is injured?"

"So what?"

"He just saved me and injured me. How can you ignore him? You're too heartless!" Shang Yiqing really couldn't understand, because Fang Zinan's attitude was indeed unexpected.

Xiao Tian Yuan turned around. "There's no need for the two of you to argue. I only suffered superficial wounds. It doesn't matter, you two can quickly return to the mansion. I still have things to attend to." As he spoke, he turned the horse around and headed in the direction of the palace.

Seeing that Xiao Tian Yuan's horse had left, Shang Yiqing turned around and glared at Fang Zi Nan, "You really have no conscience. Brother Xiao was injured to save me, yet you didn't even ask him. What kind of attitude is this?"

Fang Zinan sneered: "What attitude do you think I should have?"
