"You saved me, how could I leave you alone?" Shen Mengyao's voice trembled a little, and she was obviously persisting in fear.

Qi Sui'an smiled bitterly, and almost all the strength in his body disappeared, and he couldn't even utter a word.

The horse galloped in the wilderness, the night wind was whistling, and Qi Sui'an's body was trembling slightly, obviously because of pain.

Shen Mengyao's heart was filled with worry and guilt. She held Qi Suian's hand tightly, hoping to give him some strength.

"I will find someone to help you heal your injuries. You must hold on." Shen Mengyao said softly, with firmness and determination in her voice.

"Silly boy, I'll be fine." Qi Sui'an chuckled. Although there was a hint of pain in his voice, he tried his best to make his voice sound calm.

They continued to gallop in the wilderness. The men in black did not stop chasing them. Arrows rained down on them. They hugged each other tightly.

Just when they were about to break out of the encirclement of the men in black, an arrow flew out from the woods and headed straight for Shen Mengyao's heart.

When Qi Suian saw this scene, he pushed Shen Mengyao away without hesitation, and the arrow instantly pierced his body.

"Qi Sui'an!" Shen Mengyao screamed in horror. She wanted to hold him, but he pushed her away with all his strength.

"Don't worry about me, just go!" Qi Sui'an's voice became weak, and his body began to fall slowly.

Shen Mengyao looked at him with tears in her eyes. At that moment, she seemed to have made a great decision and said firmly: "If you want to die, I will accompany you. I will never live in vain if you die!"

"Why bother?" Qi Suian smiled bitterly.

"Not for anything else, just because you saved me." Shen Mengyao's voice trembled slightly.

However, in the endless darkness, dawn finally appeared.

Not far away, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves, accompanied by Bei Lan's anxious shouts.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Shen Mengyao was delighted and turned around and said, "Your people are here to rescue us."

A group of soldiers rushed over, all of them were the elite of the Regent's Palace. They fought back in an orderly manner in the darkness. In the night wind, there was only the sound of clashing swords.

Soon, those people were defeated and some of them took the opportunity to escape.

Bei Lan came back to report: "Your Majesty, we captured three alive, and the rest escaped. If we hadn't made arrangements in advance, we would not have let these people escape!"

"I don't blame you." Qi Sui'an seemed to use great strength to say each word: "Clean up the battlefield and go back first."

"Yes."

As soon as Bei Lan finished speaking, a secret guard came to report: "All those assassins committed suicide."

Bei Lan gnashed his teeth in hatred: "The clue is broken!"

At this moment, Qi Sui'an suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, fell to the ground, and fainted completely.

Bei Lan was so frightened that his soul almost flew away.

"Quick, take the prince back!"

Shen Mengyao, who had been relieved, became nervous again when she saw this scene. She bit her lips tightly and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"What happened to the prince?"

Bei Lan didn't answer her.

They hurried back to the carriage. Bei Lan carefully laid Qi Sui flat, then tightly grasped the arrow that had shot into his body and pulled it out violently.

Black blood gushed out immediately. Bei Lan hurriedly took out the white cloth he carried with him, pressed it tightly on the wound, and frowned.

Black blood, that means poisoning!

Shen Mengyao watched this scene in horror. She wanted to help, but didn't know where to start.

"You guys explore the way first, I will stay close to the prince." Bei Lan instructed the guards who were accompanying him.

The guards nodded and quickly left.

Shen Mengyao was filled with worry. She walked to Bei Lan and asked softly, "Is the prince okay?"

Bei Lan looked up at her and shook his head slightly: "It's hard to say now. We need to return home as soon as possible and ask the doctor to come and see her."

Shen Mengyao nodded slightly. She knew that all she could do now was to stay calm.

The carriage was speeding across the field, and the atmosphere inside was tense and silent. Shen Mengyao held Qi Suian's hand tightly.

Qi Suian seemed to sense something and gently shook his hand back.

At this tense moment, an expression of pain suddenly flashed across Qi Sui'an's face. He held his chest tightly, and his body trembled unconsciously.

Shen Mengyao's heart felt like it was pierced by a needle. She hurriedly leaned forward and called Qi Sui'an's name softly.

Qi Sui'an opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at Shen Mengyao's anxious face. He tried to force a smile, but the pain prevented him from doing so.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Qi Sui'an's voice was weak and hoarse.

Shen Mengyao could no longer control her tears, which slid down her cheeks. She held Qi Suian's hand tightly and burst into tears.

"Don't scare me, you'll be fine."

Seeing this, Bei Lan hurriedly took out a thin silver needle from the medicine box. He skillfully inserted it into Qi Sui'an's acupuncture point, trying to relieve his pain.

A look of relief appeared on Qi Sui'an's face. He closed his eyes gently, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

The carriage finally drove back to the Regent's Palace, and a doctor was quickly invited to conduct a detailed examination of Qi Suian.

"Your Highness has been poisoned. The poison is very strange. From what I have learned, I have never seen it before. The poison has already penetrated near the heart. You need to take an antidote immediately. I'm afraid there is no other way." The doctor said after the diagnosis.

Bei Lan almost went berserk, grabbed his collar, and said viciously: "Aren't you a doctor? Can't you even cure this little poison?"

The doctor was frightened to death, and stammered, "Each faction in the martial arts world has its own poison, and there are also things I don't know about."

"Find a way to suppress the toxicity temporarily." Bei Lan narrowed his eyes.

"Then the only option is acupuncture." The doctor said cautiously.

The doctor quickly prepared a set of silver needles, Bei Lan stood aside and watched nervously. Shen Mengyao tightly held Qi Suian's hand, her worry evident in her words.

The doctor carefully inserted needles into Qi Sui'an's acupuncture points, and each insertion was accurate. After the acupuncture was completed, the doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I have tried my best, but whether I can suppress the toxicity depends on the prince's luck."

Bei Lan nodded. He knew that he could only rely on Qi Suian's willpower and vitality at this time. He turned to Shen Mengyao and said in a deep voice, "You go back and rest first. I'll keep an eye on this place."

"No!" Shen Mengyao's attitude was very firm: "The prince was injured in order to save me, I will not leave the prince even a step."

Bei Lan sighed: "But the Queen Mother..."

Shen Mengyao suddenly woke up. She was no longer the willful, selfish and naive Shen Mengyao.

Behind her are the Queen Mother and the Duke's Mansion.

Shen Mengyao gritted her teeth and finally gave in: "I will go back to the palace to report to Xingqing Palace first. I'll leave the prince in your care. If there is any news, please let me know as soon as possible."

"Yes, Princess." Bei Lan replied.
