Bai Yin was only relieved when she saw Song Zhi swallow the pill.
Naturally, she was also very worried.
He looked at Song Zhi's pale face, and his cold heart softened.
"Kid, you better be alive. The imperial examination's top scholar is still waiting for you!"
Unfortunately, Song Zhi was unconscious and could not hear his words at all.
If he knew that Bai Yin, who was usually cold to him, was so worried about him, he would be overjoyed.
Worried that the people outside would come in, Bai Yin did not dare to stay any longer and quickly left through the window.
Peace was restored in the room.
When the imperial physicians came in, they did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
So they stayed by the bed.
They did not leave!
Meanwhile, in the side courtyard.
Lian Que set a big fire, burning the whole courtyard.
Although it was still drizzling, the fire did not show any signs of abating.
Instead, the fire spread uncontrollably.
It looked like it was going to burn somewhere else.
The servants of the prince's residence hurriedly carried water to extinguish the fire.
Lian Que could have left safely after setting the fire.
But on second thought, a fire alone might not be able to lure the Second Prince here.
What Na Yan wanted the most now was to catch the assassin and report it to the Huyi King before Tuo Yi. That was why he only came when he heard that an assassin had broken into the prince's residence. Only then would Bai Yin have the chance to enter the room and feed Song Zhi the medicine.
As he stayed behind, he was instantly surrounded by the guards of the Prince's Mansion.
They completely blocked his way.
And what he was facing was the countless sharp swords in front of him.
The sharp swords were aimed at him with murderous intent!
It was as if they wanted to pick out his bones.
When Na Yan rushed over, he saw the raging fire in the side courtyard. The fire was like the wind in the forest, blowing fiercely.
It was completely out of control!
He then saw the man in black surrounded by the guards of the prince's residence. The long sword in the man's hand was merciless and had already killed several of his men.
How could Na Yan tolerate this?
A murderous intent burst out from his eyes. His sword-like eyebrows seemed to be bursting into his hair. His entire body was filled with hostility and anger.
He casually snatched the long sword from a guard's hand, leaped up, and stabbed the long sword at Lian Que's chest.
Fortunately, Lian Que dodged!
The two faced off in the drizzle.
The guards all stopped!
They surrounded the perimeter.
Lian Que stood in the middle with a long sword in his hand.
His body was covered in blood.
His eyes were bloodshot.
However, he had no intention of admitting defeat or begging for mercy.
The arrogance in his bones was undeniable.
However, it also happened to provoke Na Yan.
Na Yan's sharp and ruthless eyes looked at him and asked, "Who the hell are you?"
Even the sparrow met his gaze without fear!
But he didn't say a word.
Na Yan continued, "Who sent you to kill This King?"
Lian Que narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You deserve to die."
"You're simply too arrogant. I'll let you enter with your life, but you won't be able to leave with your life."
Then, Na Yan raised his sword and fought with him.
The two men's martial arts were equally matched, and neither could gain the upper hand.
The guards also slowly surrounded them.
Under such circumstances, even the sparrow had no chance of escaping.
However, even if he had to use his last breath, he would never admit defeat.
At this time, the rain was getting heavier.
In the darkness of the night, the shadows of swords and sabers could be seen.
In the end, Lian Que ran out of energy.
Na Yan found an opportunity and swung his sword. The sword pierced Lian Que's wrist.
Instantly, a deep gash appeared. Blood spurted out, forming an arc with the rain and splattering on the ground.
Lian Que's wrist was in pain, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground in the next moment.
"Clang!"
The rain splashed.
Na Yan kicked him in the chest, causing him to fall to the ground.
A few sharp swords were immediately placed in front of him.
Just a little bit more and he would have lost his life!
The rain poured down like knives, splashing on his body and face.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Na Yan's huge figure loomed over him, looking down at him and questioning, "Speak, why do you want to kill This King? Who ordered you to do this? "
Lian Que panted, his gaze falling on his sword.
He wanted to reach for it, but was kicked away by Na Yan.
His hand missed.
"This King will ask you again, who sent you here?"
"… …"
Lian Que still didn't say a word.
His eyes were filled with stubbornness!
Na Yan had lost his patience!
"Fine, even if you don't want to talk, this King has ways to make you talk." Na Yan roared angrily and ordered, "Drag this bastard away and interrogate him."
"Yes."
The guard dragged the heavily injured Lian Que up from the ground.
He was dragged away.
Only a few corpses and a pool of blood were left on the ground, and … that sword!
Na Yan was soaked.
But his heart was warm!
Like lava, he was about to burn himself.
The fire in the side hall had also been extinguished.
White smoke billowed!
Under the heavy rain, it dissipated.
The guard asked, "Your Highness, what do we do now?"
"No matter what method we use, we must pry that person's mouth open."
"Yes."
"Remember, we must leave him alive!"
"Understood."
Na Yan threw the long sword in his hand to the ground.
He swaggered off.
When Bai Yin rushed over, she only saw Lian Que in the hands of someone.
He wanted to rush forward, but his rationality restrained him from doing so.
If he tried to rescue Lian Que now, he would be walking right into a trap.
At the same time, the guards that the Second Prince had left in the Outer Manor entered the manor and began to search every corner of the manor.
For now, he could only think of another way!
He paused for a moment, then left quietly.
After leaving the manor, he immediately rushed to the city gates.
But the gates were already closed.
He hid in the shadows for a long time, thinking of a way out.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed.
He turned and went somewhere else.
… …
The Marquis of Nan was in his room.
He was plotting something.
Just then …
The manor steward hurried in from outside.
"Your Highness, there's a man outside asking to see you."
Huh?
The Marquis frowned, "Who is it?"
"I don't know. He refused to give his name, only saying something about a square-shaped wooden tablet."
The square-shaped wooden tablet was the one Ji Yunshu and Bai Yin carried.
He reacted immediately and said, "Lure him in."
"Yes."
After a while, Bai Yin followed the steward in.
Bai Yin was soaked.
The Marquis of Nan was shocked when he saw her. He immediately ordered, "Prepare a set of clean clothes and bring it here."
"Yes." The steward hurriedly retreated.
The Marquis of Nan closed the door.
He hurriedly grabbed Bai Yin's arm, "Jin, what's going on?"
Bai Yin's face was pale, her expression anxious, "Lian Que is in trouble."
"What?"
"We came to the city today because …"
He told the Marquis of Nan everything.
The Marquis of Nan was shocked.
He staggered back a few steps.
