Prince An stared blankly at Siao Shi. His handsome face kept changing colors.
Grandmother Dong took out a row of silver needles from the medicine box and slowly inserted a few needles into Siao Shi's body. She then touched Siao Shi's wrist and closed her eyes to focus on feeling the changes in her pulse.
Chu Li stared at Grandmother Dong.
She inserted the needles near Siao Shi's heart meridian. After the needles were inserted, the acupoints quickly emitted a breath like water from a spring.
These breaths condensed and formed a strange power. It blocked the destruction of the Heavenly Demonic Energy and soothed Siao Shi's injury.
Chu Li was surprised. The breath that came out of nowhere did not come from Grandmother Dong. It was the acupoints that were pierced by the silver needles. They could actually block the Heavenly Demonic Energy. The wonders of the human body were unfathomable. He had yet to fully understand it!
He had the Omniscient Mirror. He could clearly see the flow of the breath inside and outside the body. Grandmother Dong had such ability just by reading the pulse. Her medical skills were really amazing. If there was a chance, he should ask her for advice.
He had already memorized the acupoints. He wanted to test it out later. These needles were extraordinary and could be considered a life-saving technique.
"Hmm …" Siao Shi slowly opened her eyes.
Chu Li quickly said, "My Lady!"
Siao Shi saw him and nodded lightly. She looked around and frowned. Her voice was weak, "Did you catch the assassin?"
Chu Li shook his head, "His body technique is too fast. He escaped!"
"Escaped …" Siao Shi coughed twice. Her pale face flushed red.
Grandmother Dong quickly said, "Princess, don't be angry!"
Chu Li said, "My Lady, your heart meridian is injured. Your emotions cannot change drastically. Don't worry. His Royal Highness will send someone to catch him!"
Siao Shi glanced at Prince An.
Prince An regained his senses and smiled gently, "Don't worry, Princess. I will avenge you. No matter where that guy escapes to, I will tie him up and bring him to you!"
Siao Shi nodded lightly and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"
"Princess, don't worry and recuperate!" Prince An said hatefully, "Such a lawless thief. I will not let him go! "
Chu Li said, "Your Royal Highness, I am worried about the Imperial Residence's guards."
Prince An frowned, "They tried their best. But this person's body technique is too fast!"
Chu Li said, "It's precisely because you've tried your best that I'm worried. If they had the strength to spare, I wouldn't have to worry. Next time, I'll just ask them to put in more effort. … This time, it wasn't because they slacked off, it was because their cultivation was insufficient. It's because my lightness skill is too weak. "
"What do you think?" King An asked.
Chu Li said in a low voice, "I will personally guard Lady Siao's place to prevent the assassin from coming back to assassinate her again after finding out that he did not kill her!"
"That's not appropriate, is it?" Prince An's face darkened. "You're a man, living in the backyard? What a scandal!"
Chu Li said, "I'm sure the Royal Highness has heard Grandmother Dong's words. … Lady's body is now weak and vulnerable. If anything happens to Lady, who will be responsible?"
Prince An understood what he meant. Siao Shi's body was too weak now, even if the two of them had an affair. Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the strength to do such a shameful thing.
This made him feel relieved, but he still felt uncomfortable.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and said solemnly, "Please grant my wish, Your Royal Highness!"
Xiao Shi asked, "Are you sure that he'll come back?"
Chu Li said coldly, "He could easily kill Lady Siao Shi once, there will definitely be a second time! If there's a second time, Lady Siao might not be so lucky. If he knew about the Spirit Blessing Pill, how could he not have a way? "
The Spirit Blessing Pill was not omnipotent. Kill someone, then cut off his head. Throw it somewhere else, no matter how magical the Spirit Blessing Pill was, it would not be able to grow a new head.
"… Alright." Prince An thought for a while and finally nodded slowly, "Since you want to guard her, then stay in the courtyard next door. If there's any movement, I can hear it! "
This assassin was too powerful. If he really succeeded and killed Siao Shi, he would not be able to explain himself.
Unfortunately, none of the masters in the residence could defend against him. Moreover, if there was a problem. Moreover, he was one of his subordinates, he would definitely be criticized.
Since Chu Li liked this hot potato, it would be for the best.
"Thank you for granting my wish, Your Royal Highness!" Chu Li closed fist saluted.
Prince An waved his hand, "Princess, I'll greet the people outside first. Don't cause any trouble."
Siao Shi nodded lightly.

After Prince An left, only Grandmother Dong, Yang Xu, and Xue Ling were left in the house. Chu Li said, "Grandmother Dong, when will Lady Siao Shi's injury recover?"
"It was caused by a martial arts master. There's still hidden energy in her body. It's hard for it not to worsen. As for recovery …" Grandmother Dong sighed and shook her head, "I'm afraid there's no hope without at least a year and a half."
"This thief!" Chu Li said hatefully.
Siao Shi glared at him.
Chu Li turned around and said to Grandmother Dong, "Then I'll have to trouble Grandmother Dong in the future!"
As he said that, he took out a banknote worth ten thousand taels and put it in the medicine box.
When Grandmother Dong saw the denomination, her rosy face changed slightly, "It's too valuable!"
Chu Li shook his head, "Compared to Lady Siao Shi's life, it's insignificant. I hope Grandmother Dong doesn't mind!"
"Sigh …" Grandmother Dong sighed, "I'll do my best, but there's really no way to cure the Princess's illness. We can only do it bit by bit."
Chu Li said, "There's no rush. It'll be fine as long as it's safe."
Grandmother Dong nodded and did not explain further.
After a while, Grandmother Dong let go of Siao Shi's wrist and got up to write a prescription. Then, she left.
When there were only the two of them left in the house, Yang Xu and Xue Ling went out. Siao Shi glared at him, "Did you really find that guy?"
She thought that it was someone Chu Li found, but she doubted if it was a mistake. Why did he have to stab the heart, he could have just stabbed somewhere else!
Chu Li smiled, "What do you think, Lady Siao Shi?"
"Don't tell me he really wanted to kill me?" Siao Shi frowned, "He seems like an enemy!"
Chu Li pointed at himself.
Siao Shi was surprised, "Doesn't look like it!"
Chu Li said, "I learned the Bone Shrinking Skill from Brother Jiang, I can change my appearance."
"Do you hate me?" Siao Shi scoffed, "Hate me for dragging you here, so you can't accompany Third Younger Sister?"
Chu Li glared at her unhappily.
Siao Shi said, "Anyway, looking at your killing look, you really want to kill me."
Chu Li shook his head, "If I can't fool you, you would have exposed yourself just now!"
Prince An's eyes were sharp, if Siao Shi knew that it was him just now, her expression would be different. There was no hatred in her eyes, and Prince An would be suspicious.
Although he did it flawlessly, it would be troublesome to be suspected by Prince An.
Siao Shi's reaction was normal, Prince An would not think too much, and it would save him trouble.
"Look at his face, it's so satisfying!" Siao Shi scoffed, "You live next door, be more alert, if there's any movement, come quickly!"
When she heard that Chu Li lived next door, she felt at ease.
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Siao Shi said, "When will my injury be healed?"
"That depends on His Royal Highness," Chu Li smiled.
Siao Shi smiled sweetly like a pearl, she understood what Chu Li meant, when Prince An died, she would be healed.

The next morning, the weather was clear and the air was refreshing.
The Imperial Residence of Prince An's Chief of Inner Residence, Song Sansi, came to the Precious Light Courtyard.
The maids in the courtyard saw him and curtsied, but did not stop him.
He strode to the front of the main hall, closed fist saluted, and said, "Princess!"
"Come in and talk," a hoarse and pleasant voice of a woman came from inside.
Song Sansi lifted the curtain and entered the main hall, he lowered his head and walked a few steps to the woman sitting in the armchair, closed fist saluted, "Princess!"
This woman was about thirty years old, she had a snow-white oval face, a small mouth, almond eyes and willow eyebrows, she was extraordinarily beautiful, it was the concubine, Song Liuying.
At this moment, she was looking at Song Sansi lazily, and said carelessly, "I heard that Princess Siao was stabbed?"
"Yes." Song Sansi said, "A sword pierced her heart, thanks to the Spirit Blessing Pill of the Xiao family, her life was saved, but her body is gone, … Congratulations, Princess!"
"Why are you congratulating me!" Song Liuying said carelessly.
