However, the arrow did not hit the vital part of the man in black. She just took a few steps back, and then rushed towards Yu Yunxuan without hesitation.
But this time she failed to get close, and was stopped halfway by another person who suddenly rushed out.
Yu Yunxuan weakly propped up her body and tried hard to see the person clearly. After looking for a long time, she recognized that it was Xu Yubai.
Xu Yubai's martial arts skills were much higher than she imagined, and with just a few moves, he suppressed the man in black and was unable to fight back. Seeing that the assassination had failed, the man in black had no choice but to give up the mission and run away immediately.
Xu Yubai was worried about Yu Yunxuan's injuries and did not pursue her. He came back and asked, "Princess, how are you? Are you seriously injured?"
The clothes on Yu Yunxuan's body were blurred by mud and blood, and she looked miserable.
"I'm fine." Yu Yunxuan said. Except for the broken knee bone, the injuries she suffered from falling before were all skin injuries and were not serious. However, the man in black stabbed her in the back with a sword.
It was deep, he had lost a lot of blood, and he was about to faint at the moment.
Xu Yubai was so anxious that he didn't care much. He directly picked up Yu Yunxuan and walked towards the camp.
At this time, Xiao Yunchen learned that Yu Yunxuan was missing and was already searching everywhere. When he was anxious, he saw Xu Yubai walking from the valley with Yu Yunxuan in his arms.
When Xiao Yunchen saw Yu Yunxuan covered in blood, his heart tightened. But when he saw her leaning in Xu Yubai's arms, another anger arose in his chest. At the same time, he blamed himself for not finding her first.
.
He hurried over and snatched the person over: "You have something to do, Mr. Xu, please leave it to me."
Yu Yunxuan raised her head and glanced at Xiao Yunchen, as if she was finally relieved, and finally closed her eyes and passed out.
"Your Majesty, the princess has been injured by the sword and needs to be treated quickly." Xu Yubai warned uneasily.
Xiao Yunchen said displeasedly: "I will naturally treat my princess, and I don't need you to remind her."
Xiao Yunchen hugged Yu Yunxuan and ran all the way back to the palace, asking the maids to change her into clean clothes first, and then let the imperial doctor come for diagnosis and treatment.
After the bleeding stopped, the imperial doctor prescribed medicine and asked the palace servants to cook the medicine. Then he said to Xiao Yunchen: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Although the princess lost a lot of blood, fortunately, there were no serious injuries and she was not alive.
If you don't worry about it, take a good rest and there will be no problem."
It was getting dark when Xia Lian and Dong Xiu were found on the nearby road. They were already in a coma and looked like they had been fighting fiercely.
Xiao Yun stayed by the bed in the morning, taking care of Yu Yunxuan. Perhaps she was too tired, and Yu Yunxuan was still in a coma and didn't wake up until the next morning.
Seeing that the person lying beside the bed turned out to be Xiao Yunchen, Yu Yunxuan couldn't help but feel shocked in her heart. At the same time, she felt a warm current pouring in and spreading throughout her body, and her mind suddenly became clear.
She stretched out her hand to touch Xiao Yunchen's face. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunchen moved and was about to open his eyes. She hurriedly retracted her hand, pretending to have just woken up.
"Are you awake?" Xiao Yunchen showed a happy smile on his face and asked hurriedly: "Do you feel better? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
She suddenly remembered that Xia Lian and Dong Xiu had disappeared inexplicably in the valley yesterday, and she couldn't help but feel anxious. She quickly asked: "By the way, where are Xia Lian and Dong Xiu? They disappeared yesterday, have they been found?"
"You don't have to worry, they came back on their own yesterday." Xiao Yunchen comforted, "Although they were injured, they are not serious. I will let them come to see you soon."
"It's okay!" Yu Yunxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking back to yesterday's situation, she felt chilled, and she didn't want to experience it again in her life.
She thought she had grown a lot, but she didn't expect that she would still be so fearful and powerless when facing death.
Yu Yunxuan abandoned distracting thoughts and looked at Xiao Yunchen. She saw that he looked tired and was sleeping here again just now, so she asked curiously: "Were you here with me last night?"
Xiao Yunchen was stunned, pretending to be nonchalant, and said, "No, I just came in the morning. Are you hungry? I'll have breakfast brought over right now!"
After saying that, he hurried away as if running away.
Although Xiao Yunchen's answer was negative, Yu Yunxuan felt that he was just being tough and refused to admit it. It seemed that he was not completely indifferent to her!
Yu Yunxuan's mood suddenly changed from gloomy to sunny.
Not long after, two maids brought breakfast and served Yu Yunxuan to eat.
Yu Yunxuan's appetite was not very good, but because she was in a good mood, she still ate as much as possible. When the maids were about to leave, she ordered: "When Xia Lian and Dong Xiu wake up, let them come
See me."
Xia Lian Dongxiu actually woke up before Yu Yunxuan, but she didn't dare to disturb her and kept waiting.
So soon the two of them came. When they saw Yu Yunxuan, they immediately knelt down and apologized again and again: "Princess, the slaves did not protect you well, which caused you to be almost killed. You really deserve to die. Please
The princess convicts you."
Yu Yunxuan saw that both girls had bruises on their noses and faces, and were riddled with scars. She did not blame them harshly, so she quickly said: "You all should get up first. We will talk about the guilt later. First, tell me what happened yesterday."
What?"
Xia Lian and Dong Xiu stood up with grimaces and recounted everything that happened to them yesterday.
"Didn't the princess see a rabbit yesterday, and you chased it? Your servant and Xia Lian slowly followed you, but unexpectedly, a man in black suddenly appeared behind you.
This man was so good at lightness that we didn't notice him until he was behind us, but by then it was too late. He tapped our acupuncture points, took us to a cave in the forest, and then left."
Xia Lian continued: "My slave and Dong Xiu finally broke through the acupoint and wanted to go back to the valley to look for you, but they were stopped by several other men in black guarding the entrance of the cave.
So the two of us started fighting with them. The injuries all over our bodies were from fighting with them.
By the time we got rid of the men in black and returned to the valley, you were no longer there, and it was raining at the time. We were worried about your safety, so we hurried back to the palace, but unexpectedly, we collapsed due to lack of physical strength before we arrived."
"Listening to your narration, I feel that those men in black just want to trap you, not take your lives. They probably want to prevent you from saving me, so from the beginning to the end, their target is me.
"
Yu Yunxuan analyzed that she remembered that the man in black who came to kill her was a woman, so she asked: "Is the man in black who took you away a man or a woman?"
"Although the person's face is covered, judging from the figure, he should be a woman." Xia Lian replied, "Could it be that the assassin the princess met is also a woman?"
