The sounds of fighting outside gradually faded away, getting farther and farther away from the carriage where Si Yan was sitting.

Qi Xiu Ran knew that Boya's arrival had caused trouble for the Wen family's hidden master.

As the general of the Zuowei Mansion, Boya not only has elite soldiers drawn from the Daxuan Army under his command, but he also has placed many hidden masters of the Bo family among them.

Qi Xiuran also discovered that he had overlooked a problem. Over the years, the Wen family's hidden masters had greatly improved their martial arts skills, and the Bo family's hidden masters were also becoming increasingly powerful...

Three years ago, the Wen family was no match for the Bo family.

Three years later, still not.

Now that the Wen family's hidden master can't get in, all their hopes of assassinating Si Yan rest on him alone.

The hope of revenge for his father also lies with him.

Qi Xiu Ran tried his best to remain calm, holding the extremely sharp hairpin in his hand, and lowered his eyes to prevent Si Yan from seeing his expression.

He had to act immediately, otherwise, Si Yan would soon find that he had no strength left and would call for help.

"Prince Regent, be careful! Someone is coming outside..."

Qi Xiu Ran shouted, turned the hairpin in his hand, and pierced Si Yan's heart.

Qi Xiu Ran raised a gloomy look, and the hairpin in his hand pierced Si Yan's clothes and aimed at the position of Si Yan's heart, without any error.

This was a move he had secretly practiced thousands of times, and it was sure to be fatal without any mistakes.

"Didn't you just say that you would protect me?" Si Yan chuckled.

The woman's pleasant voice was like the sound of clear jade, but it made Qi Xiu Ran tremble.

Qi Xiu Ran looked down and saw that the hairpin was indeed stuck in Si Yan's heart, but there was not a drop of blood.

This is not normal!

Qi Xiu Ran gripped the hairpin tightly and continued to thrust it in, but the hairpin seemed to have encountered some obstacle and could not move forward even half an inch.

Qi Xiu Ran raised his eyes again, and saw Si Yan's smile gradually turning cold.

"You may not know that Marquis Boguang gave me a piece of invulnerable golden soft armor, which I happened to be wearing today."

Si Yan stared at Qi Xiu Ran, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat.

A flash of fear flashed across his eyes. Golden silk soft armor? Is there really such a thing?

Qi Xiuran tried his best to remain calm. Now was not the time to think about these things...

Now that his identity is exposed, Si Yan already knows that he has murderous intentions and will definitely not let him go.

However, Si Yan is too conceited.

He thought that Si Yan would call Yi Jiangfeng or Boya outside first, but Si Yan just sat there without moving.

Even when she saw me stabbing her with a hairpin, she remained as calm as a mountain.

Qi Xiu Ran couldn't quite imagine what Si Yan had been through to be able to remain so calm and steady in the face of crisis.

Qi Xiu Ran acted decisively, pulled the hairpin from Si Yan's body, and pointed it at Si Yan's eyes.

He failed to stab Si Yan in the chest. The best way now was to blind her eyes while Si Yan had no strength left.

Then, kill her.

As long as Si Yan goes blind, even if he doesn't die, he will fall from the altar of the Regent of Daxuan.

A cold light flashed before his eyes, and the hairpin in Qi Xiuran's hand quickly pierced Si Yan's right eye.

However, he encountered even greater resistance than before, so Si Yan took action.

"You..." Qi Xiuran widened his eyes in disbelief, "You haven't lost your strength?"

"Yeah." Si Yan responded lightly and held Qi Xiu Ran's hand tightly.

Qi Xiu Ran thought that he had charmed Si Yan with his handsome appearance, but when he thought about it carefully, this was the first time Si Yan had contact with him.

Si Yan's hands were so warm, not at all as cold as those of other girls.

"Ah! Ah——" Qi Xiu Ran suddenly screamed.

He saw with his own eyes that his fingers were deformed by Si Yan's pinch, and his bones were almost crushed. He screamed in pain at the top of his lungs.

The hairpin in Qi Xiuran's hand fell uncontrollably.

He no longer had the chance to pick it up from the carriage as he was controlled by Si Yan.

"You...why are you okay?" Qi Xiu Ran was a little confused. Was Si Yan not poisoned at all?

"I forgot to tell you that I took the detoxification pill in advance."

Si Yan smiled slightly, her face still as bright and beautiful, so calm and confident, while Qi Xiu Ran's face was distorted with pain.

After Si Ru left Shangjing, she was always worried that Si Yan would be poisoned, so she devoted herself to developing a universal detoxification pill.

She added several detoxifying herbs from Beimang Country into it, and many secret poisons from Beimang Country could be detoxified.

The detoxification pill she took was just enough to detoxify Qi Xiuran.

"How could you possibly know what poison I would use? And how could you possibly have the antidote in advance?"

This is not an ordinary poison. He asked someone to get it from the Beimang Kingdom.

Generally speaking, the imperial doctors of Daxuan cannot solve the problem.

Si Yan's expression was extremely cold. He glanced at Qi Xiuran and said, "You attacked me on my own territory? And you ask me how I know? Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

Qi Xiu's back was soaked with sweat. He widened his eyes and looked at Si Yan in disbelief.

"You mean to say you're spying on me?"

"Shouldn't I be monitoring you? Prince of the Southwest?" Si Yan's gentle voice stunned Qi Xiu Ran.

impossible!

Si Yan is not that powerful, it is impossible for him to know everything, nor is it possible for him to know his plan.

He personally handled all matters in Shangjing, and the rest were handled by the people he trusted most.

This includes contacting the Wen family and obtaining this kind of poison from the Beimang Kingdom, which is difficult to find an antidote for. As long as you smell it for half an incense stick of time, you will lose all your strength.

How did Si Yan predict his actions and get the antidote?

Unless the person he trusted most in Daxuan betrayed him.

"Do you remember? Three years ago, you picked up a starving beggar on the street. He was one of Boguanghou's men..."

Boya! Boya! It's that Boya again!

Qi Xiu Ran felt like he was going crazy. It turned out that he had been plotted against from the very beginning.

He thought that the beggar whom he had taken in out of kindness three years ago really wanted to follow him and repay his kindness, but he didn't expect that this was just a trap set by Si Yan and Boyabu.

"So, every move I make is under your watch, including today's actions?"

"What do you think?" Si Yan chuckled.

Although she had a lot of detoxification pills, it was their people who eventually learned of Qi Xiuran's conspiracy, and Yunqiao had to personally determine which antidote could detoxify.

Every move of Qi Xiuran in Shangjing City did not escape her eyes.

"Si Yan, you are so scary." Qi Xiu Ran trembled and leaned against the wall of the carriage.

The sounds of fighting outside had gradually stopped, and waves of pungent fishy smells blew in with the hot wind of early summer, making Qi Xiu Ran feel a little nauseous.

Si Yan opened her red lips slightly and said, "The scary thing isn't me, but your father, the King of Southwest, who has been trying to overthrow the Daxuan Kingdom for three years, and you who have always wanted to take revenge and assassinate me."

"So, you don't like me at all? The reason you let me get close to you wasn't because you were in a high position and liked men, but because of your schemes?"

"A fish that doesn't bite the bait will never be caught. If you had no intention of harming me, you wouldn't have fallen for my trick."

Si Yan looked at Qi Xiu Ran with an icy expression, "My plan is for those who have schemes."

Qi Xiuran's expression was complicated: "Si Yan, you've hidden it too deeply."
