Ye Qingyao was filled with curiosity, with a question constantly circling in his mind: Who could this "Xiao Wu" they were talking about?

However, at this moment, the tense atmosphere and complicated situation around him prevented him from asking.

He could only bury this doubt deep in his heart and pray silently that Li Ruhai could successfully get through the dangerous period tonight.

Thinking of Li Ruhai coming to the rescue at the risk of his own life, Ye Qingyao secretly made up his mind to reward him handsomely.

But on second thought, no reward seems appropriate.

Li Ruhai is already a high-ranking eunuch, how much higher can his position get?

As for beauties, they are useless.

After much thought, Ye Qingyao felt that the highest honor to give him was to allow him to enjoy his old age.

At that time, he can be given a spacious and comfortable house to ensure that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

However, all these arrangements need to wait until Li Ruhai regains consciousness and then consult his own wishes.

If he is still willing to stay by my side and serve me, that is naturally possible.

On the other side, Hua Xin personally checked Li Ruhai's injuries carefully. Only after confirming that he was not seriously injured did she feel relieved.

After all, Li Ruhai was the one who risked his life to save Ye Qingyao!

It would be a great pity if he unfortunately lost his life while saving someone.

Fortunately, after some inspection, it was found that the arrow did not hit the vital parts, but only injured the abdomen, and did not cause damage to important organs. The reason why it looked so serious was mainly due to excessive blood loss.

"Qingyan, thank you for your hard work."

Hua Xin exhaled softly, her eyes fell on the pair of blood-stained hands, a trace of gratitude and relief in her eyes. Song Guanqing, who was standing beside her, also looked at Hua Xin, their eyes met, as if they had caught a glimpse of relief from the depths of each other's eyes.

"Huahua, you shouldn't have come, it's too dangerous!" Song Guanqing didn't expect that Hua Xin would come in the end.

"Third brother is not here, I have to make sure father is safe. If there is chaos tonight, the consequences will be disastrous."

Hua Xin felt a headache just thinking about it.

Master Liaokong passed away four years ago, and the current abbot is his junior fellow apprentice Master Jingyuan.

Master Jingyuan gave up his quiet and peaceful Zen room without hesitation, and moved into the room where his disciples lived.

After some intensive treatment, when it was confirmed that Li Ruhai was no longer in danger, Ye Qingyao's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed a little. At this time, he finally had the mind to explain the whole story to everyone.

It turned out that on the night of the incident, a bright moon was hanging high in the night sky, and the soft moonlight fell on the earth, covering the whole world with a layer of silver gauze.

Ye Qingyao suddenly became interested, so he asked Xiao Lizi to prepare the best tea. He planned to leisurely drink tea in the courtyard in the back mountain while appreciating the charming moonlight. He also wanted to take this opportunity to talk freely with Master Jingyuan and exchange their insights on life, Buddhism and all things in the world.

However, no one expected that on this seemingly peaceful and tranquil night, a sudden crisis would quietly arrive.

Just when Ye Qingyao was having a pleasant conversation with Master Jingyuan, suddenly, a group of mysterious people in black clothes jumped out from the darkness. They all held sharp swords in their hands and rushed towards Ye Qingyao like ghosts. Without saying a word, they raised their swords and stabbed him.

At that time, Ye Qingyao was only accompanied by the eunuch Li Ruhai and Xiao Lizi.

On Master Jingyuan's side, there was only his disciple Minghui.

Fortunately, Minghui was skilled in martial arts, and he immediately stepped forward upon seeing the situation, fighting off the attacks of the men in black.

It's a pity that he was alone after all. Facing so many well-trained assassins, although he tried his best to resist for a while, he was still outnumbered and gradually couldn't hold on.

What's worse is that they are in the inner courtyard of the back mountain, which is rarely visited by people on weekdays. Even if someone notices the changes that have occurred here and wants to come to support, it will probably take a lot of time.

The group of men in black obviously knew this very well, so they only wanted to end the battle quickly.

Seeing that the first round of assassination failed, this group of ruthless people took out their bows and arrows without hesitation and shot at Ye Qingyao and others.

At this critical moment, Li Ruhai rushed forward without hesitation and protected Ye Qingyao with his body.

With a whoosh sound, a sharp arrow broke through the air and penetrated deeply into Li Ruhai's body.

Ye Qingyao also took the opportunity to send out a signal, and in the end, the Blood Dragon Guards took action and not only killed the assassins, but also captured two of them alive. As for who sent the assassins, we would have to wait for the Blood Dragon Guards to interrogate them to find out.

However, Xiao Lizi was completely unaware of this thrilling scene.

It turned out that in the chaos, it was thanks to Minghui's strenuous protection that Xiao Lizi was able to escape and go down the mountain to seek help.

After hearing this, Hua Xin couldn't help but feel scared. If something really happened to Ye Qingyao, the consequences would be disastrous.

One has to admit that the Blood Dragon Guards do have their own strengths and powerful methods, and they actually managed to pry the identity of the mastermind out of the two assassins.

However, when Ye Qingyao learned that the person behind the scenes was Ye Qingyao's eldest son Ye Lanhui, his heart suddenly felt like it fell into an ice cellar, cold to the bone.

You know, Ye Lanhui has always been extremely cautious and careful, thinking that he has arranged everything perfectly without any flaws.

But as the saying goes, there is always a loophole in a perfect plan, and he ultimately could not escape the fate of being exposed.

After Ye Qingyao returned to the palace, he was not in a hurry to expose the matter.

On the contrary, he cleverly used this opportunity and secretly instructed the imperial physician to diagnose Ye Lanhui as being seriously ill and ordered him to recuperate well.

As a result, the originally bustling First Prince's Mansion suddenly became deserted and fell into silence.

Cao Jinlan, the eldest prince's consort, was at a loss as to the sudden changes in the palace.

On such a good day, suddenly so many people from the palace came, and there were so many of them that it felt like a disguised form of surveillance.

However, faced with such a strange situation, Cao Jinlan could not find anyone to ask, and could only serve the sick Ye Lanhui wholeheartedly with full of trepidation.

In this way, the days passed one by one, until finally Ye Lanhui's fever subsided and he woke up.

At this moment, he realized as if waking up from a dream that his illness was too strange.
