Shen Wan was shocked.

Xie Jingyan had already asked, "What happened to Lu Cheng?"

Chen Feng hurriedly replied, "Prince Xuanpinghou and Prince Du Guogong were responsible for patrolling the city tonight. They found a man in black flying over the eaves and walking on the wall. When Prince Xuanping was arresting the person, he was stabbed and fell from the roof. He fainted. Prince Du Guogong I was so panicked that I didn’t know what to do, so I sent him to Prince Ling’s Mansion.”

Every time Chen Feng said something, Shen Wan's heart trembled.

She didn't dare think about how injured she would be if she fell from the roof...

Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan, "You go back to Mo Yuxuan first, and I'll go take a look."

After saying that, before Shen Wan could speak, Xie Jingyan supported the corridor of the observation building and jumped down.

Chen Feng followed.

The two figures quickly disappeared into the night.

Shen Wan went down the stairs, but she didn't listen to Xie Jingyan's reply to Mo Yuxuan. She had to see Lu Cheng's injury with her own eyes before she could feel at ease.

Shen Wan also went to the front yard pharmacy. When she arrived, Doctor Tao had just checked Lu Cheng's pulse and asked Xie Jingyan, "Have you given him Jiedu pills?"

Xie Jingyan shook his head.

Du Chengan said quickly, "My father gave me an antidote pill and asked me to take it with me. I saw that the blood on his wound was black, so I gave it to him."

Doctor Tao said, "Fortunately, taking it in time suppressed the toxins and did not poison the lungs."

Du Chengan was rescued by Dr. Tao who was passing by because his adoptive father was bitten by a venomous snake while hunting. Then the prince-consort searched for a long life lock before being brought to Beijing by Dr. Tao, and finally the father and son were reunited.

Du Chengan also likes hunting, but the eldest princess of Huyang is afraid that he will encounter poisonous snakes while hunting, so he is not allowed to go.

However, the eldest son-in-law was not one to give up eating because of choking, and in order to make Princess Huyang happy, he gave Du Chengan an antidote pill. If he was really bitten by a poisonous snake while hunting, this antidote pill would not only be able to detoxify the snake venom, but at least it would protect him. He returned home to seek help from the imperial doctor.

Du Chengan still thought it was troublesome to carry the medicine bottle with him, but he didn't bring it with him and the prince consort wouldn't let him hunt, so he had no choice but to obey.

Du Chengan didn't expect that detoxification pill could save Lu Cheng's life.

Doctor Tao took out the silver needle, helped Lu Cheng protect his heart, and then treated the injury on Lu Cheng's waist.

Doctor Tao was frightened when he saw the wound, "This boy is really destined to die. If the sword in his waist had been half an inch deeper, he would have died on the way here."

Xie Jingyan asked, "Can we save his life?"

Doctor Tao said, "It was delivered in time and I can keep it."

It would be nice if I could keep it.

Shen Wan, who was standing at the door but did not go in, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Doctor Tao said nothing and tried his best to treat Lu Cheng.

Xie Jingyan looked at Du Chengan, "Can you catch the man in black?"

Du Chengan shook his head, "When Lu Cheng fell from the roof, the man in black ran away. The city patrol officer went after him, but he definitely couldn't catch up."

The man in black is so powerful in martial arts that even Lu Cheng is no match for him, let alone those ordinary yamen from the City Patrol Department.

Furthermore, the man in black climbed over the eaves and walked over the wall, while the city patrol officer chased him below, so he was already at a disadvantage.

Du Chengan said, "But when Lu Cheng passed out, he said that the man in black was from Xiliang. I also picked up a token dropped by the man in black on the ground..."

With that said, Du Chengan took out a token from his arms.

Xie Jingyan took the token and looked through it.

The quality of the token was unusual, but he didn't realize that it belonged to a person from Xiliang.

Shen Wan stood at the door, watching from a distance. When Xie Jingyan turned over the token, her eyes narrowed.

She quickly walked into the room, took the token from Xie Jingyan's hand, and looked at the back.

Shen Wan said, "This is the token of becoming a king."

"Being a king?" Xie Jingyan frowned.

Shen Wan nodded, "I have seen this token in my dream."

In the previous life, the emperor died and Xie Jingyin ascended the throne.

She saw this token on the Dragon Case in the Royal Study Room. Xie Jingyin gave the token to Cheng Wang. She still felt it was strange, so she asked one more question. Xie Jingyin said that the token belonged to Cheng Wang, and he just returned it to its original owner.

When Shen Wan mentioned Prince Cheng, Du Chengan suddenly remembered and said, "The man in black was found near Prince Cheng's Mansion, and he most likely came from Prince Cheng's Mansion."

After a pause, Du Chengan continued, "But Lu Cheng said that the man in black is from Xiliang..."

He didn't know why Lu Cheng said that the man in black was from Xiliang, but he must not have said it casually before he fainted.

Du Cheng'an didn't know much, but Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan knew that there was iron ore in Wangzhou, the fiefdom of King Cheng, and they had been mining it privately for two years. Mining iron ore without permission was a crime of conspiracy. They already suspected that King Cheng had treason. It is not surprising that King Cheng and Xi Liang secretly colluded.

Xie Jingyan took the token back from Shen Wan, looked through it several times, and asked Du Chengan where he picked up the token.

Du Chengan didn't understand why Xie Jingyan asked. It doesn't matter where he picked it up, right?

After asking clearly, Xie Jingyan threw the token to Chen Feng and warned, "Put the token back in its place."

"Be careful not to alert the snake."

Chen Feng took the order and retreated.

Shen Wan asked in confusion, "Why did you return the token?"

This is also Du Chengan's doubt.

Xie Jingyan said, "Judging from the reception banquet, there is no collusion between Prince Xi Liang and King Cheng. I need to make sure."

"If the token is really the king's, Xi Liang will definitely come back to look for it if he loses such an important thing."

If the man in black hadn't gone back to look for it, Chen Feng would have brought it back.

If the man in black is gone, Chen Feng can follow the man in black and find his whereabouts.

Du Chengan felt that he understood, but he didn't seem to understand.

It was late at night, and the city patrol would continue. Lu Chengren was at Prince Ling's Mansion, so he was relieved.

Du Cheng'an said, "Then I will continue to patrol the city."

Xie Jingyan warned, "Don't tell the eldest princess about the token."

Du Chengan knew that his own mother and King Cheng were brothers and sisters. If he told him, it would definitely reach King Cheng's ears.

Du Chengan nodded repeatedly, "I won't tell anyone."

Chen Feng sent him out of the house.

Doctor Tao over there gave Lu Cheng poison. Lu Cheng woke up, his face was pale, and he was a little surprised to see Xie Jingyan, "Why am I here?"

Xie Jingyan said, "Du Chengan sent you here."

Lu Cheng said, "Thanks to him today, otherwise I would be dead."

Du Chengan's martial arts skills were average and not enough for Lu Cheng and others to admire, but no one dared to underestimate Du Chengan's archery skills. If Du Chengan hadn't shot two arrows at the man in black tonight, Lu Chengan wouldn't have had the chance to fall off the roof. , died directly under the sword of the man in black.

Xie Jingyan asked, "Are you sure that the man in black is from Xiliang?"

Lu Cheng nodded and said weakly, "I scratched the clothes on the man in black's right arm. There was a tattoo on the man in black's right arm. Although it was very dark at the time, I could still see clearly. The tattoo was the same as mine a few days ago. I went to the Ministry of Punishment to find Xu Ji, and the pattern on the Xizhou Dam case file I saw was exactly the same..."

Lu Cheng didn't mention it, but Shen Wan had already forgotten that the Xizhou Dam was blown up by the Xiliang people.

Because King Cheng came forward at that time, the eldest prince and Xie Jingyin briefly turned their hostility into friendship. They changed from wanting to kill each other to protecting each other, but later it was settled.

King Cheng secretly supported Xie Jingyin. If King Cheng really colluded secretly with Xi Liang, it would be entirely possible for Xi Liang to blow up the Xizhou Dam and take the blame on Xie Jingyin's behalf. It was just because the emperor blew up the Xizhou Dam. The case was investigated separately from the Xizhou Dam corruption case, so King Cheng's plan failed.

King Cheng hid it too deeply.

The deeper you dig, the more terrifying you feel. God knows what King Cheng has done behind his back.

Thinking that King Cheng would be so ruthless as to kill his own princess, Shen Wan's hair stood on end and her heart trembled.

Xie Jingyan said to Lu Cheng, "You are seriously injured. Please rest and recover. We can wait for the rest to heal."

Doctor Tao nodded, and no matter how much he spoke, he couldn't help but curse.

As a result, Lu Cheng spoke to Doctor Tao, "I'm getting married in three days. Can my injury be cured?"

Doctor Tao said, "I'm just a doctor, not a god."

Lu Cheng was anxious, "The wedding invitations have been sent out, I..."

"Is marriage more important, or life?" Dr. Tao was also anxious.

Lu Cheng wanted to speak, but was out of breath.

Shen Wan said hurriedly, "It's important to recuperate from your injuries. I will tell the Yun family to find someone to marry you first. When that day comes, when you are fully recovered from your injuries, you can do it yourself."

It can only be the.

Lu Cheng was depressed. He didn't find the man in black earlier, but he didn't find it later. He found it today when he was sending the wedding invitations, otherwise he could have postponed the wedding.

Lu Cheng's head was so weak that he felt dizzy, and the injury on his waist hurt even more. He wanted to lie down, but then he fainted and lay back down.
