He stretched lazily and smiled at the maid who was waiting beside him. "Let's go back."
"Yes." The maid smiled sweetly and led the way.
As soon as Chu Li sat down, he yawned and shook his head. "I really can't hold my liquor anymore."
"Then Chief Chu should work hard to force us to drink." Xue Tie laughed and said, "We won't complain."
"That's right, that's right." Everyone nodded.
Chu Li said, "I'm still a little worried about the Lady. I'll drink one more cup and go over to take a look."
Song Sansi waved his hand and smiled, "Chief Steward Chu, you are too careful and underestimate our Wangfu. Let's not talk about anything else, but Wangfei's safety is absolutely assured. No one can break into Wangfei's courtyard!"
Chu Li shook his head and said, "The High Duke's Public House oppresses the martial arts world and has offended countless martial arts masters. It's inevitable that there will be top-notch masters among them. They will risk their lives to kill the Lady to vent their anger. It's better to be careful."
"The Prince's Mansion has sent out all the masters and put up the most rigorous formation. Not to mention those martial arts masters, even a fly can't fly in!" Song Sansi smiled and said, "So Chief Chu, you can rest assured and drink your wine."
Chu Li smiled and said nothing.
Li Gui also said: "That's right, that's right. The Wangfu's security is the tightest today. Chief Steward Chu can rest assured!"
Xue Tie laughed and said, "The Wang Mansion is still very strong."
Secretary Song nodded slightly and smiled.
They were all vaguely aware of King An's ambition. He was secretly gathering martial arts masters from all over the world. There were quite a number of martial arts masters in the Imperial Residence. They did not know that Chu Li had slaughtered more than half of the Grandmasters in one fell swoop. The Imperial Residence was not that strong now.
"Alright then. Since everyone says so, let's have another drink." Chu Li raised his silver cup and smiled.
Just as he was about to drink it, Yang Xu ran over while holding up her skirt. She was panting and her chest was heaving up and down violently, "In-Chief, Young Miss was attacked by an assassin!"
The silver cup fell to the ground with a 'clang'. Chu Li's expression changed and he stood up immediately. He disappeared in front of everyone like a gust of wind.
Yang Xu heaved a sigh of relief. Her body suddenly felt limp, and she hurriedly held onto the chair to prevent herself from collapsing.
Her heart was burning with anxiety as she ran all the way here in one breath. Only now did he realize his exhaustion and the burning pain in his chest. He had run too fast.
"What happened?" Li Gui hurriedly asked, "Miss Yang, Princess Consort — —?"
Song Sansi said in a low voice, "Is Wangfei alright?"
Yang Xu shook her head and bit her lower lip. "Princess' heart was stabbed!"
"Is Princess Consort dead?" Xue Tie hurriedly asked.
Yang Xu had a worried look on her face. "Fortunately, Sister Xue Ling was there and helped Lady Xiao consume the Spirit Blessing Pill. But the injury is too serious, and it's in the heart. I don't know what will happen! "
As she spoke, she slowly moved away.
The four people at the table were speechless.
Just now, she was still trying to persuade Chu Li to relax, saying that the Protectors of the Imperial Residence were absolutely safe, but on the other side, an assassin had barged in and stabbed the Princess's heart. It was a fatal wound. If it were not for the Yi Public House's famous Spirit Blessing Pill, she would have died!
They were not in a hurry to look. Now that the Prince's Mansion was on guard, rushing over would only add to the chaos.
— —
Chu Li glided to Siao Shi's courtyard, Zheng Lide and Meng Zhi were already guarding the entrance.
He coldly glanced at the two of them. "If anything happens to Lady Xiao, I want both of you to be buried with her!"
Zheng Lide's face darkened. Meng Zhi also stared at him, but he could not retort back.
This matter was indeed their great dereliction of duty. They actually allowed the assassin to barge in, stab the Princess's heart, and then swagger away. What was worse was. They did not manage to catch up!
This time, they were completely dumbfounded, showing their incompetence.
This matter not only offended Chu Li, the Princess, but also the two concubines. Even the Royal Highness was suspicious of the two of them, doubting their abilities.
This assassination not only severely injured the Princess, but also the two of them.
Chu Li hurriedly entered the courtyard and came to the main hall. He saw Prince An dressed in a big wedding robe. He sat at the table with a gloomy face, Xu Ning stood beside him.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and went straight into the bedroom.
Xue Ling was sitting cross-legged on the bed, her hands were behind Siao Shi's back, white steam was rising from the top of her head.
Siao Shi had already fainted, her eyes were shut tight, her beautiful face was as pale as paper, she sat there motionlessly, it was pitiful.
Chu Li sighed. He really did hit hard. Not only did he stab her heart, but his inner energy also entered her body, wreaking havoc in her meridians, her internal organs were all heavily injured. No wonder Xue Ling was so tired.
"Let me do it." Chu Li said.
Xue Ling let out a long sigh of relief and opened her eyes, "Master …"
Chu Li waved his hand, "It's good that you're alive."
Xue Ling blamed herself, "I reacted too slowly, I didn't manage to protect Lady Xiao in time."
"It's not that you're slow, it's that the opponent was too fast. Alright, it's fine now." Chu Li said, "Just take the Spirit Blessing Pill in time."
"The medicine has been dissolved." Xue Ling said.
Chu Li sat cross-legged behind Siao Shi, both palms were placed on his back, spiritual energy from all directions rushed in.
Prince An walked into the house and said in a deep voice, "How is it?"
Chu Li looked at him indifferently and scoffed, "I won't die!"
His dissatisfaction was obvious.
Prince An was secretly angry, but he knew it was not the right time to explode.
He looked at Siao Shi who was as pale as paper, "I've already called for the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital. He'll be here soon."
Chu Li said, "Can the imperial physician treat this kind of injury?"
"… With the Spirit Blessing Pill from the Siao Family, the Princess' life will not be in danger." Prince An said, "If the imperial physician comes to take a look, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Chu Li channeled with both of his hands, his shirt fluttered, he said lightly, "I hope so. … Does Your Royal Highness want to take a look?"
Prince An frowned, "I've seen her injury, the most troublesome part is that inner energy, it's really strange."
This inner energy was Chu Li's Heavenly Demonic Energy, it was weak but had the ability to devour. The purer the inner energy was, the stronger it was. If the inner energy was not pure enough, it would not care.
Chu Li let go and shook his head, "Let's take a look at the imperial physician's skills!"
Yang Xu's voice came from outside, "Chief, the imperial physician is here!"
"Let her in!" Chu Li said.
Soon, a short old woman came in. Her hair was silvery white, shining, her face was rosy, and her eyes were bright. She looked like she was in her eighties or nineties, but at the same time, she looked like she was in her fifties or sixties. She had a contradictory temperament, she looked young and old at the same time.
"Grandmother Dong, I've troubled you." Prince An closed fist saluted.
Grandmother Dong curtsied, "Your Royal Highness is too polite. I'll take a look."
She came to the bed and felt Siao Shi's pulse, her expression did not change.
Chu Li saw her heaviness through the Omniscient Mirror, but he did not show it.
Prince An stared at her, not even blinking.
After a while, Grandmother Dong slowly let go.
Prince An quickly asked, "How is it?"
Grandmother Dong sighed and said hesitantly, "Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid what I have to say is not pleasant."
"Just say it." Prince An quickly said.
Grandmother Dong sighed, "The Princess' injury this time is too serious. Even if she recovers, I'm afraid there will be repercussions. Her body is ruined."
"What repercussions?" Prince An quickly asked.
Grandmother Dong looked around.
Chu Li said, "We are all Lady Siao Shi's family, there is no need to avoid."
Grandmother Dong sighed, "The Princess' body will be abnormally weak. She must not do anything intense. Her emotions must not be fluctuating too much. She must not be angry, she must not be agitated. Most importantly … she must not have sex. Otherwise, her life will be in danger."
"What?!" Prince An's face changed.
Grandmother Dong shook her head, "I know this is difficult for Your Royal Highness. But if you want the Princess to live, you can't do these. She is injured in her heart meridian. Once her heart beats too fast, she will die at any time. Remember this!"
"Grandmother Dong, your medical skills are godly. Is there nothing you can do?" Prince An said.
