Madam General, please run slower.

The two men searched Yueting Palace from top to bottom, and Wei Shiliu even searched the well in the backyard, but still couldn't find a piece of Li's clothes.

Wei Shiliu had a gloomy face. He had been guarding the yard last night and did not find anyone breaking in. So was there a possibility that the princess went out by herself?

Thinking of Li's ability, Wei Shiliu breathed a sigh of relief. If Li was deliberately avoiding him, it would be difficult for him to detect.

"Have you found it?" Chunmei's eyes were as red as a rabbit's. Seeing Wei Shiliu shaking his head with a serious face, she staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Wei Shiliu helped her up.

"Stop crying for now." Wei Shiliu was given a headache by Chunmei's noise. It was the most difficult to deal with when a girl cried.

"The princess probably went out on her own. It's still early. If the princess doesn't come back before 7 a.m., we'll go and notify the Jinwu Guards."

Chunmei took a few deep breaths, tightly grasped the corner of Wei Shiliu's clothes, and suppressed the fear in her heart, "Could it be the Queen's doing?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Wei Shiliu's hand holding the sword was also trembling slightly. For the first time, he blamed himself for his weak strength.

He joined the Dark Guards Camp when he was ten years old, and it took him five years to get to the position of Guard Sixteen, becoming the youngest Dark Guard beside his master. Although he was not as strong as the other fifteen Dark Guards, he was talented, learned very quickly, and had medical skills, so he believed that he would soon be able to surpass them.

But now, Wei Shiliu couldn't help but wonder, if Wei Yi had been on guard last night, the princess would not have gotten into trouble.

Even if it wasn't Wei Yi, even if it was one of Wei Wu and the others, they could easily detect the princess's movements. Only he... only he could do nothing.

Endless self-blame and guilt washed over Wei Shiliu's heart like a tide, trying to pull him into the abyss.

Li came back at the time when Chunmei usually got up.

But she had planned everything, but she had not expected that the little girl would worry that she would catch a cold and would suddenly decide to add a blanket for her.

Li, who had wanted to quietly hide back in the room to change clothes, was stunned when he heard the crying in the backyard. He did not even bother to change clothes and hurriedly ran towards the place where the crying came from.

The moment she stepped into the backyard, Li was dumbfounded. Was she hallucinating from staying up late?

What did she see? Her maid was having an affair with Yu Xun's secret guard? !

From Li's perspective, Chunmei was nestling in Wei Shiliu's arms, punching his chest again and again, crying so hard that she couldn't make a sound, while Wei Shiliu was just helpless and letting her beat and scold him.

The two people who seemed to be flirting with each other in Li's eyes were actually:

Chunmei: "What do you think of the courtyard? If something happens to the princess, I will never forgive you!"

Wei Shiliu: "It's not like I asked her to run around."

Chunmei: "You dare to talk back? I'll beat you to death!"

Wei Shiliu: "Go ahead and hit me. Just hit me to death. I will be killed by the general anyway."

Wei Shiliu rubbed his aching chest. His strength was comparable to that of the princess. Are all girls so strong nowadays?

"Cough cough."

Li coughed a few times to try to attract the attention of the two people opposite him, "It's broad daylight, please pay attention to your image."

Chunmei/Wei Shiliu: "Princess!"

"Stop, don't come over here." Li stretched out her hand to stop the two people who rushed towards her, "Well, I want to take a bath first."

"I'll go boil some water!" Chunmei looked Li up and down. Seeing that he was standing in front of her intact, without any missing limbs, she felt relieved and went to prepare hot water for the princess.

Wei Shiliu and Li stared at each other in the yard for a long time, then said at the same time:

"Where have you been?"

"Are you interested in my maid?"

Wei Shiliu had a face full of question marks. With the strength of her maid, was there any normal person who would dare to be interested in her?

Wei Shiliu sighed, looked at her in all black, and no longer had the energy to argue with her. "Can you please call me when you go out next time?"

Somehow, Li immediately understood the reason for Wei Shiliu's depressed mood, and raised his hand to hit him on the back of the head.

"If I go out to look for a man, will you follow me?"

"What?" Wei Shiliu was stunned by the slap on the head.

“Princess, you, you, you…” Wei Shiliu said “you” for a long time before finally saying, “You are not a faithful wife?!”

"Do you think I look like a chaste woman?" Li said with confidence.

Wei Shiliu: Indeed, she doesn’t look like that. She looks more like a beautiful and evil concubine who brings disaster.

Wei Shiliu's thoughts were carried away to the sky, and he even forgot why he was depressed in the first place.

"Princess, are you really having an affair? When did it happen? Does the master know about it? Who is that man? Is he as good-looking as the master? Is he more powerful than the master? The master is so pitiful. Princess, why did you betray the master?"

"Princess...Princess..."

Li had been in pain all night and his mind was not very clear. Wei Shiliu's series of questions made his headache even worse. Fortunately, Chunmei came in time and Li ran away under the pretext of taking a bath.

Wei Shiliu hesitated for a long time on whether to report the news to his master, but decided not to report it yet.

The princess is still young, how could she know what love is? She must have been deceived. He wants to let the princess know that it is wrong to do this, and let the princess mend her ways and return to the arms of her master.

A qualified secret guard must protect the love for his master!

Li changed out of the blood-soaked black clothes and walked into the bathtub impatiently to relax. But when the water level reached his chest, the familiar pain came again. Maybe it was because he had hurt more last night, so he didn't feel anything now.

Li let his body sink into the warm water. Just as he relaxed his mind, the rapid sound of Tanghulu rang out.

The small ball of light, which had solidified a little after last night, banged into Li's sea of ​​consciousness, "Master, Master! Stop soaking, get up quickly! You're bleeding again!"

"Huh?" Li opened his eyes in confusion, and all he could see was a red patch, nothing.

So is it her eyes that are bleeding this time? She has been bleeding every other day, and her eyes are almost numb.

Unable to see for the time being, Li simply closed his eyes, rubbed his body and stood up, "What happened again?"

She was very well behaved and didn't do anything just now. It couldn't be the aftereffect of last night.

Li took his own pulse but could not find anything wrong.

Tanghulu closed its eyes and pressed against Li's sea of ​​consciousness. Li knew that it was examining her body, so she wrapped her clothes around herself and waited for Tanghulu to give her an answer.

But the warmth in the sea of ​​consciousness disappeared for a long time, and Li did not receive a reply.

"Tanghulu?" Li reached out and wiped the tears and blood from his eyes. The blood kept flowing down, with no sign of stopping.

Li had no choice but to continue to close his eyes and ask: "Tanghulu, what happened?"

"Ah? It's okay, it's okay." Tanghulu said happily. If it weren't for the trembling tone, Li would have really believed what it said.

"Honestly, what's wrong with my body?"

"Owner......"

Tanghulu gritted his teeth and confessed: "Master, do you still remember the small black dot in your dantian? It was a poisonous insect."

"Gu?" Li frowned.

"Yes." Tanghulu paused, "Perhaps yesterday's training activated the Gu in the master's body. The warm water just now accelerated the onset of the Gu poison. The poison has begun to erode the body. Master, you... you only have three years."
