"You're smart." Duan Mu Qi sneered.
Yan Jinxiu didn't know what he meant and didn't dare to talk. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
There was a strange silence.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh —
The sound of air being pierced rang out as countless arrows pierced through the forest and shot towards them. Yan Jinxiu instinctively wanted to use her martial arts, but she saw Duan Mu Qi from the corner of her eyes. She paused and grabbed the scared Xiao He and rolled towards the ground.
A black-clothed assassin came out of the forest and attacked Duan Mu Qi. He looked like he wanted to kill Duan Mu Qi.
Duan Mu Qi was alone and there were people shooting at him from time to time. He was careless and got shot in the heart.
The arrow might have been poisoned. Duan Mu Qi staggered and managed to block an assassin's attack. However, he couldn't block the attack of the assassin behind him. His back was slashed again.
Shi Sheng couldn't bear to look at it. It was so tragic …
Was the pretentious act from before so that he could be abused now?
She didn't understand these people. They had just fought and didn't even know if there were any enemies behind them. How could they stand on the battlefield and talk about all kinds of injuries?
Yan Jinxiu crawled on the ground and didn't make a move until Duan Mu Qi couldn't take it anymore. She said to Xiao He, "When I move later, run, okay? Don't look behind you. Run as far as you can. "
"Miss?" What about you?
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Just protect yourself and don't drag me down." Yan Jinxiu spoke quickly. "Run!"
Xiao He immediately got up and ran in the opposite direction.
Yan Jinxiu got up at the same time and rushed into the group of assassins. She saved Duan Mu Qi and brought him into the forest.
The assassins chased after her and it quickly quieted down.
Shi Sheng finished eating the last melon seed and his eyes turned. If she followed them now, would she be able to kill the female lead?
[…] Host, your mission isn't to kill the female lead.
I can provide additional services for free.
[…] I don't want to talk. I want to be alone.
F * cking retarded host.
Eh, something seemed wrong.
Shi Sheng didn't chase after Yan Jinxiu. He followed the path back and met the imperial guards who were looking for her.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Shi Sheng waved his hand and said weakly, "Bring me some food."
The wound on his back was itchy and uncomfortable.
"Quick, quick, water …" The leader of the imperial guards called out to the people behind him.
After the Shi Sheng finished drinking and eating, the imperial guard asked the Shi Sheng carefully, "Your Highness, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
After falling from such a high place, His Highness looked as if nothing had happened, which surprised everyone.
In their hearts, they had already prepared for the worst. If something happened to His Highness, only death awaited them when they returned.
At this time, seeing that Shi Sheng was fine, these people slowly relaxed. No one was willing to die.
"My back is injured. Get someone to treat it for me." Shi Sheng grimaced.
"Yes."
The imperial guards immediately sent someone to bring the imperial physician down. They pulled down the curtains and treated Shi Sheng's wounds on the spot.
After that, he organized people to send the Shi Sheng back to the Imperial Palace.
…
The Host's title was Changning, which meant eternal happiness and tranquility.
The palace she lived in was called Jing Ning Palace. It was warm in winter and cool in summer. Many princesses in the Imperial Palace coveted it.
The moment Shi Sheng returned, she was surrounded by layers upon layers of people. The imperial physicians sent by the Emperor were taking turns to treat her.
This was the treatment of a supporting actress. There was nothing wrong with it.
After the crowd dispersed, Shi Sheng had time to have a good rest.
In the evening, the Emperor finished dealing with state affairs and took time to visit Shi Sheng.
When the Emperor was young, he was also a handsome boy. Even when he was middle-aged, he was well-maintained and still handsome.
No wonder so many people still wanted to enter the Imperial Palace.
"Changning." The Emperor sat by the bed, his face full of distress. "How did you get hurt so badly?"
The wound on her back was probably caused by a stab, but it wasn't too deep. It wasn't that serious.
Of course, this wound wasn't serious in Shi Sheng's eyes, but in the eyes of the Emperor and other people, it was very serious.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell the imperial physicians in time." Seeing that Shi Sheng didn't speak, the Emperor thought he was frightened. "Don't be afraid, Changning. I will get justice for you."
Shi Sheng blinked and moved her dry lips. She asked directly, "How do you want me to get it back? Do you know who did it? "
The Emperor choked. Before the people on the other side came to answer, those assassins were caught and committed suicide. No one knew who sent them.
"Changning …" The Emperor patted Shi Sheng's shoulder. "Take care of yourself. I will take care of other things."
Shi Sheng twitched the corners of his mouth. With his pale lips, he looked like a sick beauty.
The Host was beautiful. She was the kind of beauty that would amaze people at first sight.
In fact, this kind of person would only amaze people at first sight. Later, people would feel tired of her beauty and wouldn't have the same feeling as the first time.
The Emperor said a few words and left Jing Ning Palace, saying he had something to deal with.
Shi Sheng had been recuperating for more than half a month. Although she ate all kinds of good food, her wound didn't heal quickly.
"Your Highness, please slow down." A maid came forward to support Shi Sheng, for fear that she would fall.
Shi Sheng wanted to say that she wasn't so weak!
This palace maid was recently transferred over. The palace maid who previously served the original owner had lost her life in the assassination attempt.
The one who served her now was called Xiao Xuan. She was a clever girl who knew how to read people's faces and knew what to say and what not to say.
Shi Sheng sat in the taffy chair by the window. "Is there any progress in the previous case?"
Xiao Xuan crossed her hands in front of her and answered with her head down, "His Majesty sent someone to say that there was no progress. The assassins were all caught and killed. They didn't have anything to identify their identities, so it's hard to investigate."
Shi Sheng took a sip of tea. "So you can't find anything?"
Who tried to assassinate the female lead?
The plot didn't mention the details, so Shi Sheng didn't know who wanted to kill the female lead.
Xiao Xuan didn't dare to answer. She didn't dare to answer casually.
"Is Yan Jinxiu back?" Shi Sheng put down the teacup. The bottom of the teacup hit the table, making a crisp sound.
Xiao Xuan had heard that His Highness and Yan Jinxiu didn't get along very well. She suddenly asked about Yan Jinxiu. Xiao Xuan hesitated for a moment before answering, "Miss Yan was seriously injured when she was found. She just woke up three days ago."
"Yes. What else?"
Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Shi Sheng from the corner of her eye, but she couldn't see the expression on Shi Sheng's face because she was standing behind him.
"Your Majesty …" Xiao Xuan said hesitantly, "Your Majesty said that Miss Yan's courage was commendable. He sent something to the Yan Mansion as a consolation."
Shi Sheng's fingertips slid across his chin. Understanding flashed across his eyes.
She didn't change much. The plot was still developing.
