On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Several rockets wrapped in burlap pierced the air, their "whoosh" echoing through the night as they struck the wooden doors and windows of the Buddhist temple.

The flames from the rocket instantly ignited the wooden door and window frames, and a crackling sound rang out.

Thick smoke seeped in through the cracks in the doors and windows, rising and swirling in the Buddhist hall, instantly choking people so much they couldn't open their eyes.

Princess Mingzhao was deeply shocked as she looked at the burning doors and windows.

Unexpectedly, He Er was so bold as to fire arrows directly at the house, intending to kill people.

She took a step forward, walked to the door, and through the burning wooden door, angrily rebuked the outside: "He Er! Your He family is a family of doctors, practicing medicine for generations. You should be thinking about saving lives and healing the wounded, but now you treat human lives like dirt!"

"How dare you, a doctor, kill so wantonly? Aren't you afraid of being investigated by the authorities and severely punished by law?"

In the courtyard, Second Master He stood in the center of the torchlight, the firelight reflecting on his face, half bright and half dark, making his eyes appear even more sinister.

He pointed at Mingzhao inside the door and shouted angrily, "You imposter! How dare you speak so arrogantly here!"

It must be you who harmed the Su family, and now you're pretending to be a relative at my He residence!

"If I kill you today, and then report it to the authorities, I'll say you were a burglar who broke into my home, and I was merely acting in self-defense!"

These blatant lies and lies angered Princess Mingzhao to the point of laughter.

She turned to look at Shi Mao behind her, her smile full of sarcasm: "Shi Mao, listen to this, this is the master you follow so devotedly."

Now that things have come to this, he's going to kill you to silence you, and eliminate you along with him.

Shi Mao stood beside the offering table, looking at the burning doors and windows, and listening to Master He's words, and was greatly shocked.

He lunged toward the door, but a guard grabbed his arm. The guard's grip was so strong that it hurt, and he couldn't break free.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Shi Mao struggled desperately, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Second Master! Save me!"

He Erye, standing in the courtyard, watched the commotion in the Buddhist hall without showing any emotion. He did not respond to Shi Mao's calls, but instead took a bow and arrow from one of his men.

He raised his hand, drew the bow, and pointed the arrow at Shi Mao in the Buddhist hall. His gaze was cold and unwavering, without the slightest hesitation.

When Shi Mao saw Master He's fully drawn bow, with the arrowhead pointed at him, his blood instantly froze.

He was so terrified that his bones went limp, and his feet seemed rooted to the spot, unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as the arrow shot toward him, and finally he simply closed his eyes.

Just as the arrow was about to hit Shi Mao, Mu Chen moved swiftly, drew his sword, and with a flash of cold light, the blade struck the arrow shaft precisely.

With a crisp clang, the arrow was deflected, grazing Shi Mao's arm before embedding itself firmly in the wooden pillar of the offering table beside him. The flame at the arrow's fletching was still flickering, igniting the carvings on the pillar.

Shi Mao felt a chill on his arm, followed by a crisp sound. It took him a long time to open his eyes and look at the arrow nailed to the wooden post. His heart was still pounding wildly in his chest, almost bursting out of his chest.

Princess Mingzhao looked at his terrified and distraught appearance, scoffed, and said with disdain, "It's just an arrow, and you're so scared."

Don't be scared, you haven't told us about all the dirty things you've done yet.

Shi Mao opened his eyes, looked at the arrow on the wooden pillar, and then turned to look at Master He in the courtyard.

The hope and awe they held for Master He were instantly replaced by fear and anger.

He broke free from the guards' grasp, rushed to the door, and through the burning wooden door, cursed at Master He outside: "Master He! You heartless bastard!"

How many dirty things have I done for you? You told me to taint medicine, harming countless pregnant women. Did I ever disobey you?

Now that something's happened, instead of trying to resolve it, you want to kill me to silence me? Have you lost all your conscience?

His hysterical curses, filled with endless resentment, sounded particularly jarring amidst the crackling of the fire.

Princess Mingzhao stood behind him, arms crossed, looking at him coldly: "You dare to talk about conscience?"

When you committed those heinous and immoral acts, did you never think about the word "conscience"?

If they truly had a conscience, how could they use their position as doctors to engage in such heinous acts that disregard human life?

Shi Mao was speechless for a moment, opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

In the courtyard, Master He's face turned ashen from Shi Mao's scolding, the firelight reflecting off his face, which was full of hostility.

He tightened his grip on the bow and arrow, and shouted angrily at Shi Mao inside the door: "Shi Mao, you ungrateful wretch!"

Why don't you take a good look at yourself? With your mediocre medical skills, if it weren't for the He family supporting you and backing you up, would you have become famous in the medical field of Chongqing? Would you have achieved your current success?

"My He family has treated you well, giving you money and status, but you, as soon as trouble comes, try to betray us to save your own life. Someone like you should have been shot dead long ago!"

"I betrayed my master to survive?" Shi Mao seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, his eyes filled with hatred. "If you hadn't wanted to kill me to silence me, why would I have ended up like this?"

He Lao Er, don't try to portray yourself as so noble. You made me do those things only for your own selfish interests!

You're afraid those things will be exposed, ruining the He family's reputation and your future, so you want to kill me. You're a selfish and despicable person!

"I'm selfish?" Master He roared. "If you weren't greedy, if you weren't willing to do these things, would I have forced you?"

Shi Mao, in the end, you only have yourself to blame!

Even if I don't kill you today, once your deeds are exposed, you won't escape death!

Shi Mao's eyes turned red, like a mad dog driven to the brink of despair, daring to say anything.

Do you think you can hide what you've done forever?

Let me tell you, even if I die today, people will know about the He family's shady dealings and what kind of hypocrite you, He Lao Er, are!

You'll end up like me, utterly disgraced!

Shi Mao successfully provoked Master He.

While they were arguing, Princess Mingzhao signaled Mu Chen and the guards to go to the back window and look for another way out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the back window, an arrow shot over.

"Oh no, we're surrounded from both sides."

Princess Mingzhao slowly drew her sword, her face grim: "It seems they came prepared."

"If that's the case, then let's fight them! Charge out!"

The guard removed his cloak and gripped his knife.

"Mu Chen, the two of us will charge ahead, you protect the princess."

Mu Chen cupped his hands in greeting: "Thank you for your trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards rushed out from the door and window, one on the left and one on the right. Several arrows were immediately shot at them, but they were all deflected by the two men with their swords.

Upon seeing this, He Er sneered and shouted angrily, "Everyone, get ready!"

A dozen rockets were aimed at the guards, ready to be fired at He Er's command!
