The palace guards escorted Xiao Jinghan back to the city. When they passed through the bamboo forest, a group of men in black wearing ghost masks surrounded them!

The chief guard shouted angrily: "Who are you? How dare you attack the prince of Wu'an!"

The ghost-faced man attacked without saying anything, using a fierce killing move, intending to kill everyone.

The guards surrounded Xiao Jinghan and shouted, "Protect Prince Xiao!"

The chief guard fired a distress signal flare into the sky and said to Xiao Jinghan: "Don't be afraid, Prince Xiao! Someone will be sent to rescue you from the imperial city soon!"

How could the guards in the imperial city be a match for the well-trained ghost-faced man? The ghost-faced man shuttled among the guards like a ghost, and instantly killed all the guards on the periphery. Xiao Jinghan watched the guards who protected him fall one by one, and his heart was filled with despair and helplessness.

Xiao Jinghan knew that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death. He had to find a way to delay time and wait for rescue. He asked loudly: "Are you soldiers from Nanyi? Did Xiao Jingyi ask you to assassinate me?"

All these ghost-faced men were stunned for a moment, and then raised their knives towards the guards.

Emperor Wen's secret guards in the bamboo forest were waiting to see if Xiao Jinghan could not hold on any longer and would call on the Black Armor Army or other people to rescue him!

When a person is in the most dangerous moment, he will definitely find a way to protect himself. Emperor Wen ordered them not to show up until the last moment! Just save the life of Prince Xiao!

Xiao Jinghan looked at the guards next to him, who were gradually becoming fewer and fewer. This group of ghost-faced men were about to rush in front of him. In a hurry, Xiao Jinghan remembered the bone whistle given to him by Dark Moon Fairy.

Xiao Jinghan took out a bone whistle and put it to his lips and blew it. A sharp and piercing whistle sounded, and not long after, a rustling sound was heard in the bamboo forest.

A large group of snakes slithered out from the depths of the bamboo forest and quickly attacked the ghost-faced man.

The ghost-faced men tightly grasped their knives, their eyes flashing with despair and unwillingness. He knew that the mission to assassinate Xiao Jinghan had failed. The reinforcements from the imperial city were coming soon!

He had to give up this action and deal with the attacks of these poisonous snakes in front of him first.

More and more poisonous snakes came, spitting out their tongues and making hissing sounds, rushing towards the group of ghost-faced people. The bodies of the ghost-faced people could not help but tremble, and they felt an unprecedented fear.

The ghost-faced men continued to fight with the poisonous snakes. They had been bitten by the snakes several times and were bleeding profusely. Soon, more and more snake corpses appeared and the ghost-faced men kept falling down due to poisoning.

Not long after, Xiao Jinghan was surrounded by the corpses of ghost-faced men and the remains of countless snakes.

The remaining guards were also trembling with fear at the tragic scene before them. Just when they thought they would be bitten to death by the poisonous snakes, all the poisonous snakes hid in the bamboo forest.

Xiao Jinghan clenched the bone whistle in his hand. It turned out that Dark Moon Fairy's bone whistle could summon poisonous snakes. He carefully hid the bone whistle.

At this time, a group of secret guards came hurriedly, and the leader held the Emperor Wen's token and saluted Xiao Jinghan: "Prince Xiao, His Majesty asked us to escort you back to the palace!"

Xiao Jinghan's eyes darkened: "Thank you for your help!"

When Xiao Jinghan returned to the Haoxue Palace in the imperial palace, Emperor Wen was already waiting for him in the hall inside the palace.

Emperor Wen showed concern on his face: "Han'er! Are you not hurt? These assassins actually took the opportunity to take your life! I will have someone conduct a thorough investigation and find out who is behind this!"

Xiao Jinghan's face was pale, and he still looked weak after being frightened. He said with a weak breath: "It's Han'er who is not well. I'm sorry to have made Your Majesty worried!"

Emperor Wen raised his eyebrows and said, "You should stay out of the palace less often in the future. I will send more guards to protect you! I heard from the guards that you were saved by Dark Moon Fairy. How did you have any connection with her?"

A suspicious blush appeared on Xiao Jinghan's face. He said with some shame and anger: "Dark Moon Demon Princess is a dissolute and frivolous woman. She...she covets my..."

Emperor Wen saw Xiao Jinghan's angry and shy expression, and suddenly realized that the woman was not a member of the Xuanjia Army, but was attracted by Xiao Jinghan's appearance and wanted to flirt with him.

Emperor Wen's eyes moved slightly, and he asked again: "Why did the snakes on the road help you kill those ghost-faced people?"

Xiao Jinghan hesitated for a moment, took out the bone whistle and handed it to Emperor Wen: "This is what Dark Moon Fairy gave me. She said that if I blow it at a critical moment, it can save my life!"

Emperor Wen took a look and said to Xiao Jinghan: "Since it is good for you, just keep it! You were also frightened today, so go to bed early!"

A day later, Emperor Wen personally came to the Haoxue Palace and said to Xiao Jinghan: "I have already found out that the people who assassinated you yesterday were Xiao Jingyi's men. In recent years, Xiao Jingyi has become less and less restrained by the court. I plan to let you get married as soon as possible and become the King of Wu'an. Go and take over Nanyi!"

Xiao Jinghan's deer-like clear eyes were filled with fear. He complained: "Your Majesty! Do you want me to die? Han'er will not live long. Nanyi is all Xiao Jingyi's people. Even if I become the King of Wu'an, no one will obey me if I go to Nanyi."

Emperor Wen's expression froze, and he consoled her: "There is no rush to take over Nanyi! You must get married as soon as possible and inherit your father's title of King Wu'an. I am afraid that if Xiao Jingyi establishes himself as King Wu'an, I am afraid that your father's former subordinates will submit to him after a long time!"

Xiao Jinghan lowered his eyes: "Your Majesty! My body can't hold on for much longer, and getting married will only harm others!"

Emperor Wen said happily: "Han'er! Your cousin Princess Nanzhi will come to Shangjing soon. She has brought you the antidote for the Biluo poison! You will be able to recover your health soon!"

Xiao Jinghan seemed to be stunned by the huge surprise. He murmured: "I won't die!"

Then he shouted loudly: "My poison can be cured! Your Majesty! I am saved!"

Emperor Wen also nodded with tears in his eyes: "Han'er! You have suffered so much over the years! Fortunately, Youli Kingdom has prepared an antidote."

The poison of Bi Luo is made up of many highly toxic medicinal herbs. The amount of each poison directly affects the composition of the antidote.

Many years ago, Emperor Wen sent people to send Xiao Jinghan's blood to Youli Kingdom, asking them to try to prepare an antidote.

The antidote was only prepared recently, and the little princess Nanzhi from Youli Kingdom will personally deliver it to Xiao Jinghan.

Empress Dowager Xue came to Emperor Wen's imperial study and said to him, "Your Majesty, do you really want Xiao Jinghan to detoxify? Aren't you afraid that he will become like his father?"

Emperor Wen thought for a long time before saying, "Xiao Jingyi is increasingly disobeying the imperial court. I have summoned him back to the capital several times, but he has refused with various excuses. I think he wants to establish himself as king!"

Emperor Wen was somewhat angry: "If he had not surrendered to me... and Han'er was still young, how could I let such an ambitious person rule Nanyi!"

Empress Dowager Xue looked worried: "Can't the Emperor change someone to take charge of Nanyi?"

Emperor Wen bowed his head and sighed, "Mother! The tiger talisman of the Nanyi army is in Xiao Jingyi's hands, and the Xiao family army in Nanyi only recognizes descendants of the Xiao family. I! I can't mobilize them!"

"I sent many spies to Nanyi to steal the Tiger Tally, but none of them returned! I thought of letting Xiao Jinghan inherit the title of King Wu'an and go to Nanyi to take over the Tiger Tally. Xiao Jingyi is the adopted son of the Xiao family, so he doesn't dare to ask for Xiao Jinghan's life openly!"

"Xiao Jinghan was raised by me personally, and he has always been very respectful and loving to me! He has a loyal and kind character! He will definitely be loyal to Da Zhao!"
