Fu Yun, who was being held back by several men in black, naturally noticed the situation on Yan Qing's side. His aura suddenly increased, and he broke away from the siege and retreated to Yan Qing's side.

Seeing the wound on Yan Qing's shoulder, Fu Yun's eyes turned bloodshot, and his silver-white mask was stained with blood. He looked like a demon from the underworld, but his voice was trembling with an imperceptible tremor: "Your Highness..."

Yan Qing covered the wound on her shoulder, blood flowed out from her fingers, instantly staining her sleeves red. She swallowed the fishy sweetness in her mouth and said weakly: "It's okay."

"I have some hemostatic powder on me, but it will hurt a bit if I sprinkle it on you, Your Highness, please bear with it."

Luo Tang supported Yan Qing, took out a packet of medicine powder from his arms, and sprinkled it all on Yan Qing's wound. It soon worked and stopped the bleeding.

Yan Qing frowned slightly and said, enduring the pain: "Thank you, Miss Luo."

In just a moment, the men in black rushed up again. Fu Yun's eyes were full of hostility, and he went up while protecting Yan Qing.

Afna also returned to Yan Qing. She looked at Yan Qing worriedly and wanted to get closer, but she still needed to help Fuyun clear the way.

Avna pursed her lips and whipped the whip more fiercely.

The current situation of several people is really not good. The enemy outnumbers us. Although everyone has tried their best, two fists are no match for four hands, and their retreat routes are still blocked.

Fuyun clenched the sword in his hand and looked at the man in black who was slowly narrowing the encirclement. His eyes were filled with murderous intent and a sense of madness.

Just when he was about to let Avna take Yan Qing away and he was going to hold back these men in black by himself, something unexpected happened again.

A group of men in black quickly came down from the top of the stone steps, heading towards where they were with a clear goal.

When you get closer, you can see that the material of the black night clothes they are wearing is obviously different from that of the man in black who assassinated Yan Qing.

Fuyun and the others, as well as the men in black who surrounded them, were all somewhat confused as to whether the newcomers were enemies or friends.

The answer was soon known. The wave of men in black that came from behind drew their swords and slashed at the men in black that were surrounding them.

"Keep one alive."

The leading man in black gave a cold order and walked towards Yan Qing through the encirclement.

Fuyun felt that the man in black gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had seen him somewhere, but he remained alert and looked at the man with caution.

Until the man half-knelt in front of Yan Qing, lowered his head and took out a token from his arms: "I am Yingyi, and I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Princess."

Fuyun took the token and finally understood where the familiar feeling came from: the little emperor's secret guard.

However, the imperial palace is farther from the Fanyin Temple than the princess's residence. Even if these people saw the distress signal flares and came to rescue, it would be impossible for them to arrive so quickly.

Unless they are nearby, they can't come before the Imperial Guards and their own people in the Princess's Mansion. Thinking of this, Fu Yun's eyes darkened.

Yan Qing glanced at the token. She naturally thought of what Fuyun could think of, but she still had some trust in Pei Shiyu's people, so she did not ask why Yingyi appeared here.

Excessive blood loss caused him to feel a little dizzy. Yan Qing calmed down and said, "Get up."

Hearing Yan Qing's weak voice, Ying Yi's heart sank. When he stood up, he raised his head slightly and saw the wound on Yan Qing's shoulder.

He couldn't see clearly just now because he was far away, and he kept his head down the whole time when he came over, so he didn't notice the injuries of Her Royal Highness the Princess until now.

Ying Yi's pupils trembled for a moment. When His Majesty knew about this, he would definitely be angry at him for not coming in time. Was he going to die today? ! !

The reason why Yingyi was able to get here so quickly was because there were other people nearby.

The Prince of Zhenbei had been on a fierce offensive in the court these days, and two ministers who had remained neutral suddenly sided with the Prince of Zhenbei without any warning.

After a secret investigation, Pei Shiyu discovered that this matter should be related to his cousin Luo Tang who was temporarily staying in his house. This person was an excellent doctor. In addition, the small gadgets that suddenly became popular in the capital were also made by Luo Tang, which attracted many noble ladies.

Pei Shiyu felt threatened at that time. He knew that this man could not be kept, as he would become a serious threat sooner or later. So he sent Yingyi to follow Luo Tang secretly and wait for an opportunity to strike, just like he did last time with Jiang Huaixu.

This time it was a good opportunity. Luo Tang rarely left the Zhenbei Palace alone and went to the Fanyin Temple.

Ying Yi naturally followed in secret, preparing to take this opportunity to test the waters, but he did not expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess would also be in the Fanyin Temple, and walking with Luo Tang.

With the princess around, Ying Yi couldn't take any action, so he had to give up his original plan and lead his men to leave Fanyin Temple and return to the palace to ask for orders.

This matter actually involves Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess, and the status of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess in Pei Shiyu's heart is self-evident. How to treat Luo Tang in the future depends on what Pei Shiyu says.

However, Ying Yi did not expect that just after he left the Fanyin Temple for a distance, he saw a red flare rising in the sky. This was a specially made flare that could signal the imperial guards to come for help. Only princes and nobles had it, and the quantity was limited.

Ying Yi started to panic when he saw the direction where the flare was rising. It was exactly the direction where Yan Qing left Fanyin Temple. He didn't care about much else. He didn't even have time to change the night clothes he was wearing when he was following Luo Tang. He led his men back in a hurry.

So the scene before our eyes happened. Now the men in black who were trying to assassinate have all been captured by Yingyi's men.

He looked at Yan Qing's injuries with concern: "I have sent someone to the palace to invite the imperial physician. Your Highness, please go to the Fanyin Temple and wait for a while."

Luo Tang also stepped forward and said, "I also know some medical skills, so I can bandage your wound first."

Luo Tang was really too modest. She knew no medical skills at all. If she were to treat Yan Qing, the poison in Yan Qing's body would definitely be discovered.

Yan Qing's vision was a little blurry. She pinched her palm and managed to stay awake: "Miss Xie Luo, it's kind, but it's not necessary."

After she finished speaking, she did not look at Luo Tang who was hesitant to speak, but cast her eyes on Ying Yi: "I am fine, there is no need to ask the imperial physician to come over, you stay here to deal with the aftermath, Fuyun will take me back to the princess's mansion."

Ying Yi advised in a low voice: "Your Highness's injury is not a trivial matter. His Majesty will be extremely worried if he knows about it. It is better to let the imperial physician take a look."

After hearing Ying Yi mention Pei Shiyu, Yan Qing paused and said, "There is a doctor from the imperial palace in my palace with superb medical skills. Besides, this is not a big deal. He can handle it. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Ying Yi suddenly remembered that Lin Huaigu was still in the princess's mansion. He relaxed and stopped trying to dissuade her. He bowed his head and replied, "Yes."

Yingyi thought that Lin Huaigu was the imperial physician that His Majesty had left with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and that he would be able to inform His Majesty if anything unexpected happened, so he felt relieved.

Avna followed Yan Qing and said, "Sister Qing, I will go back with you."

Wu Lan coiled around Avna's arm and hissed at Yan Qing, as if agreeing with her.

Avna was afraid that if Wu Lan stayed with Yan Qing, it would add to the burden on Yan Qing's arm wound, so she let Wu Lan return to her.

Yan Qing raised her head and refused, "This time it was me who implicated the little princess. I have to thank the little princess for saving my life. However, the envoy has almost received the news. The little princess should stay here and wait for the envoy to arrive, so as not to worry him."

After arranging everything, Yan Qing asked Fuyun to use Qinggong to take her back to the princess's mansion.

Avna stayed where she was, somewhat anxiously, wanting to keep up but also not wanting to disobey Yan Qing.

When the envoys arrived, Avna's brows and eyes were so gloomy that tears seemed to drip from them. She gave a few instructions to the envoys and went to the princess's mansion regardless of their obstruction.

But when she arrived at the princess's mansion, the door was closed and no visitors were allowed.

This is Sister Qing's residence, and she can't force her way in.

Although Avna was worried about Yan Qing, she had no other choice but to go back.
