By noon, the gold foil color on Xia Taoyuan's face had finally completely faded, but her complexion was still not good. Yingge ran to the next room and called Chu Xingluo, and everyone else woke up. At Qi Nanfeng's instruction, Chu Xingluo gave Xia Taoyuan seven more small pills.

"Is this all right?" Chu Xingluo looked at Qi Nanfeng anxiously.

"Take the pill and just wait for the princess to wake up." Qi Nanfeng said.

Chu Xingluo said gratefully: "Brother Qi, thank goodness you are here this time!" If Xia Taoyuan died, he didn't know how he would survive.

"Your Highness, there is no need to say more. We all don't want anything to happen to the princess." Qi Nanfeng was finally completely relieved at this moment.

Lu Feiyu and Ximen Huan also came when they heard about this. Lu Feiyu asked Chu Xingluo: "Your Highness, have you seen the assassin's face clearly?"

Chu Xingluo shook his head. He could only see a black shadow amidst the dense foliage. Long Yan also said that they chased out of the city but did not see any human figures.

"Didn't the soldiers guarding the city see it?" Qi Nanfeng asked.

"The soldiers guarding the city said they didn't see anyone in black go out." Long Yan said.

"Could it be a soldier in our team?" Ximen Huan asked hesitantly.

"This matter is of great importance and must be investigated!" Lu Feiyu frowned.

"How can it be easy to check tens of thousands of people? It is clearly aimed at Prince Jing." Ximen Huan also frowned.

Qi Nanfeng glanced at Chu Xingluo, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Long Yan asked, "Master Qi, do you have anything to say?"

Qi Nanfeng paused and said, "Could it be from Xiling Country? I checked the arrow that shot the princess, and there was no trace. It was just an ordinary arrow."

Long Yan said: "Impossible, we are heavily guarded, there is no way that people from Xiling Country can sneak in! There are dozens of wounded soldiers from Xiling Country, all of whom are under special supervision."

"That means he sneaked into your team from Yunjun City." Qi Nanfeng said slowly. When he said this, Lu Feiyu and Ximen Huan looked at each other, and then looked at Chu Xingluo.

"Brother Qi is right. The assassin must have taken off his black clothes and thrown them away. Long Yan Qingyun chased him out of the city but didn't see any figure. And every exit leaving Lion City is strictly guarded by our people. This person may still be in the city." Chu Xingluo said in a deep voice.

"If this person is still in the city, he will definitely attack Your Highness after learning that Your Highness is fine. Has the news of the princess being shot by an arrow spread out?" Lu Feiyu turned his head and asked.

Long Yan shook his head and said, "Besides you and General Ximen, only the people around His Highness and Doctor Zhuang know about this."

"In that case, let the word spread that Prince Jing has been assassinated and is in imminent danger. Your Highness should stay in the house for the next few days and not show up," Lu Feiyu said calmly.

"Lure the assassin out?" Qingyun asked, "But he wouldn't be unaware that the person shot was the princess, right?"

"That's not important. We have to spread the news of His Highness' assassination to Lucheng and Hecheng." Lu Feiyu looked at Long Yan and said, "Long Yan, you and the people brought by the palace will only be responsible for the safety of His Highness and the Princess. As for the night patrol, I will send someone else. General Ximen, pass the order down, no one is allowed to leave Lion City privately, and send more people to guard every exit!"

Ximen Huan left as ordered. Lu Feiyu asked Long Yan to deliver the message to Lucheng and Shicheng. At the end, he added: "Pay attention to the performance of King Xiang and King Xuan!"

This statement undoubtedly shows that King Xiang and King Xuan have motives for committing the crime.

Chu Xingluo's expression didn't change. He whispered a few words in Long Yan's ear, and then Long Yan and Qingyun set off.

Lu Feiyu gave a few more instructions and then went out.

Heilong and Queying went out to guard outside the door, while Fengwu and Yingge stayed by Xia Taoyuan's bed.

"Where did this old man Mu Huairen get the Yanluo Powder?" Qi Nanfeng murmured, and his words clearly put the blame of the assassination on Mu Huairen.

Chu Xingluo was not surprised at all and said, "He has many extraordinary people under his command, and maybe one of them knows Shi Wanchun." He had no doubt about this matter. When Long Yan and Qingyun went to Lucheng and Hecheng to report the news, he asked Long Yan to tell King Xiang Chu Xinghai to be careful.

Before coming to Lion City, he could never forget the look on Mu Huairen's face when he persuaded several princes to go to the battlefield in the court. In addition, Xiao Feng's instructions made him extremely cautious for more than three months. He didn't expect that the assassin was hiding in their team. If Taotao hadn't helped him block the arrow, he would have been in great danger. Thinking of this, his heart was tightened again.

He hurried to Xia Taoyuan's bedside, and Yingge said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The princess is breathing evenly now, her complexion is much better, and her body is not hot anymore."

Chu Xingluo was relieved. He asked Qi Nanfeng to rest for a while. Qi Nanfeng followed his instructions and went to Long Yanqingyun's room next door. He also asked Fengwu and Yingge to rest for a while. They looked at each other and knew that he wanted to be alone with the princess, so they also went out.

Long Yan and Qing Yun bypassed Lucheng and went to Hecheng first. They met the King of Xiang, Chu Xinghai, and told the generals about Chu Xingluo's assassination. Everyone was shocked that the assassin had sneaked into the city to assassinate King Jing. They were all very concerned about Chu Xingluo's situation.

Chu Xinghai grabbed Qingyun's arm, looking anxious, and asked, "How is the third brother?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Xiang. Although my prince is still in a coma, he has taken the antidote and will wake up soon. General Lu is afraid that Prince Xiang is also in danger, so he asked us to come and inform him. Please ask Prince Xiang and the generals to prepare for defense to ensure safety." Long Yan said.

"General Zhou Tong and I will send people to check if there are any suspicious people." After General Shan Tingfang said this, he went out with Zhou Tong and others.

Chu Xinghai, Long Yan and Qingyun were the only ones left in the room. Long Yan walked up to the King of Xiang and whispered, "Your Highness, please be careful and be alert when you go in and out! Our Highness said that the assassin is targeting more than just him, and you may be one of them!"

Chu Xinghai's eyes suddenly became sharp when he heard this, and then returned to their original depth.

"Is the third brother okay?" he asked.

"My prince is fine. It was the princess who risked her life to protect his prince. It was the princess who was shot by an arrow and remains unconscious." Qingyun said.

Chu Xinghai was a little absent-minded. Wei Zhiying came to Lion City? What kind of woman was she to risk her life to save Chu Xingluo? Then he thought, she must have something special, which made the third brother obey her in everything, and even his own princess Ye Yiyi treated her like a sister. Even he himself didn't dislike her, even though she was strong and rude, and full of foul language. He actually had a little respect for Wei Zhiying in his heart, and also a little envy for Chu Xingluo.

"I understand. I will be careful." After saying that, Chu Xinghai turned around and went to the inner room. After a while, he took out a small box and said, "This is the life-extending pill. My mother gave it to me before I came here. It is a life-saving pill that she has treasured for many years. Go back and give it to your princess."

Long Yan took it and thanked her. Although the princess was out of danger, he should not miss such a good thing.

The two said goodbye to Chu Xinghai and rushed to Lucheng. They arrived soon and met General Lu Ting and King Xuan Chu Xingyue.

When Long Yan said that Chu Xingluo had been assassinated, Lu Ting and Yongsheng General Chen Wenqiao and Han Zhui all looked anxious and asked if Prince Jing was in danger. Only Prince Xuan had a glimmer of joy in his eyes, which disappeared in an instant.

Long Yan sneered in his heart, and then said: "Fortunately, my prince is blessed with great fortune and is not destined to die! He took the resurrection pill made by Doctor Zhuang in time, and is out of danger and his life is safe." After saying that, he stared straight at Chu Xingyue.

Chu Xingyue was a little disappointed when he heard that Chu Xingluo's life was not in danger, and at the same time he blamed Mu Huairen's people for not doing things well. He looked up at Long Yan's inquiring eyes, and was startled, and hurriedly said: "That's great, Third Brother is blessed with a good life, he will definitely be fine."

Lu Ting was relieved when he heard this. Han asked, "Have you caught the assassin?"

Qingyun shook his head and said, "The assassin was very cunning and he escaped!" His tone was full of anger.

"General Xiao Lu asked us to inform General Lu to be careful and strengthen defense. General Xiao Lu also said that if the assassin failed to assassinate our prince, he might do it again, and we can't be sure whether he will attack King Xuan and King Xiang. He specifically asked me to tell King Xuan and King Xiang to be careful!" After Long Yan finished speaking, he looked at Chu Xingyue meaningfully.

Lu Ting pondered for a moment and said, "You go back and tell Feiyu and Prince Jing to rest assured. With me here, Prince Xuan won't be worried. As for Prince Xiang..."

"General Lu, don't worry. We have already informed Prince Xiang. Prince Xiang and General Shan Tingfang have also made all preparations." Long Yan said.

Then the two of them got up and returned to Lion City. When they met Chu Xingluo, they explained the situation, but Chu Xingluo didn't say anything. Qingyun said angrily: "Chu Xingyue has something to do with this!"

"Shut up!" Long Yan glared at Qingyun fiercely.

"You two go and rest first." Chu Xingluo said calmly. The two of them left, and Chu Xingluo walked to the bed, gently held Xia Taoyuan's hand, and murmured, "Taotao, Taotao!"
