When the person outside heard Zhao Tingji's order, he immediately opened the door and entered the house.

Xie Zhiyi forced herself to stand up, while Zhao Tingji was still covering his wound and looking at her with hatred.

The guards and maids guarding outside the door came in and were stunned when they saw this scene.

"His Royal Highness!"

The guard immediately stepped forward and exclaimed in surprise as he looked at his still bleeding arm.

"I know I was wrong. I didn't know Princess Yong'an still had the dagger on her. She had already bathed and changed clothes, but..."

The guard immediately knelt down, admitted his mistake and spoke.

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Tingji kicked him immediately after hearing this.

"You're a piece of crap! You can't even look after a woman!"

The maid didn't dare to watch any longer and immediately took Xie Zhiyi out. When they went out, Xie Zhiyi kept covering his abdomen, and the maid didn't dare to show any mercy.

The maid said nothing and took Xie Zhiyi back.

She knew that the guard might not survive today, and she just hoped that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not vent his anger on them.

In the Prince's Mansion, one can only hope for good fortune on one's own, and no one dares to plead for anyone else.

And on Yu Guiwan's side.

Yu Guiwan was sitting in the room feeling uneasy, staring at the door waiting for Xie Zhiyi to come back.

But after an hour, she still didn't see Xie Zhiyi, and she couldn't help but feel worried.

She couldn't sit still anymore, so she stood up and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

There was still no movement outside the door, but it was getting late now, and Yu Guiwan could see a shadow at the door, so he knew there was someone outside.

"Where did Princess Yong'an go?"

Seeing that the person outside the door didn't speak, Yu Guiwan continued to ask.

The person outside the door still didn't respond, so Yu Guiwan continued, "If you don't say anything, I'm going to commit suicide in this room."

"I'm afraid Zhao Tingji has ordered us not to die?"

The people outside the house hesitated for a moment when they heard this, and then they heard Yu Guiwan inside the house say:

"There's a teapot in the house. I only need a piece of porcelain to finish it. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

"When the time comes, I can still take someone with me when I go to hell."

As soon as Yu Guiwan finished speaking, someone at the door said, "Princess Yong'an went to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

There was a maid waiting outside the door, answering Yu Guiwan's questions at a rapid pace.

The maid naturally knew the Crown Prince's temper. If the people inside were really dead, she would not be able to escape.

When Yu Guiwan heard this, he became nervous. He put his fingers on his waist and was about to draw out his sword to rush out when he heard footsteps coming from outside the house.

Yu Guiwan immediately put down his hand, and then saw Xie Zhiyi walk in.

As soon as he came in, the door of the house was closed and Yu Guiwan immediately smelled a bloody smell.

"Are you injured? Did Zhao Tingji hit you?!"

Xie Zhiyi walked over and sat down, shaking his head. "He tried to do something bad to me, but I stabbed him."

"The blood on my hands is his."

"Did he hit you?"

Yu Guiwan saw that Xie Zhiyi's face looked very strange. Since she had stabbed Zhao Tingji, he would definitely not let Xie Zhiyi back so easily.

Xie Zhiyi was afraid that Yu Guiwan would worry, so he didn't tell the truth. He just shook his head at Yu Guiwan and said, "No, it's just that I might not have anything to eat or drink for the next two days."

Xie Zhiyi clearly heard Zhao Tingji's instructions that they would not be given any food or drink for the next two days.

Yu Guiwan could see that Xie Zhiyi was lying, but still did not expose her lie.

"almost."

Yu Guiwan narrowed her eyes. She knew that Xie Sui would come to save her. It was only a matter of time.

She felt relieved that Xie Zhiyi's reputation was not in question. It seemed that she would be safe for the next two days. She could just go without food and water for two days.

There is only one bed in the room, but fortunately there are quilts and other things so it's not too demanding.

"Go to sleep. I'll watch over you as you sleep."

Yu Guiwan didn't dare to let her guard down. If something really happened at night, she was afraid that if both of them fell asleep, she wouldn't be able to handle it.

"No, I won't sleep if you don't."

Xie Zhiyi looked at Yu Guiwan and shook his head stubbornly.

Seeing her speak like this, Yu Guiwan suggested, "How about we split up and keep watch, you sleep in the first half and I sleep in the second half?"

After hearing this, Xie Zhiyi agreed, "Then I'll take a nap first."

Xie Zhiyi got on the bed and looked at the place next to him: "Come on to the bed together."

Even though it was spring, it was still a bit chilly at night. And lying in bed was more comfortable.

Yu Guiwan didn't act pretentiously and went straight to the bed, "You sleep inside, I'll sleep outside."

It would be easier to discover Yu Guiwan if he was outside, and if anything really happened, he could also protect Xie Zhiyi at night.

And on Xie Sui's side.

After Yu Guiwan went to the Prince's Mansion, Xie Sui's people immediately told him.

Even after Yu Guiwan had been in there for such a long time, Xie Sui had been worried. It was not that they had not planned for this aspect, but Xie Sui had not expected Zhao Tingji to be so blatant.

After waiting for half a day, Xie Sui did not wait any longer and went to the post station first.

Ever since Yu Guiwan and Xie Zhiyi left, Nangong Yi and Ji Mingchuan have been a little overwhelmed.

After all, they waited for half a day and didn't expect that the two of them never came back.

Just as they were about to stop waiting, the guards who had been guarding outside the post station saw Xie Sui.

Everyone in Xia knew Xie Sui, and when the guards saw him, they would wonder if they had seen him wrongly.

After Xie Sui walked in, Bei Chu looked at the guard and ordered, "Hurry and open the door."

A look of surprise flashed across the guard's face, but he quickly reacted and immediately opened the door of the post station.

Following Xie Sui's footsteps, the guards quickly followed.

Nangong Yi and Ji Mingchuan were planning how to get the people out, but they didn't have the right manpower.

"Why not go find Prince Chen?"

Nangong Yi suggested that he had known for a long time that Xie Sui had also come to Zhao State with Yu Guiwan, but she had never shown up. Now they were both in the Prince's Mansion.

Xie Sui must have brought secret guards with him. Now that the two sides have joined forces, they can definitely get the person out.

But now something has happened in Xia Country, and the final outcome will definitely be a life-and-death struggle.

"Your Highness?"

Ji Mingchuan asked in doubt.

It was probably too late to ask His Royal Highness Prince Chen for help at this time. Ji Mingchuan was so worried about the safety of the two that he couldn't think straight for a moment.

As soon as Ji Mingchuan finished speaking, Xie Sui walked in with Bei Chu.

"Go to the palace and find King Zhao. Tell him that if you can cooperate, then do so. If you can't, the Xia Kingdom will flatten the Zhao territory. I will lead my men to rescue them."

Xie Sui had already arranged everything, so he gave the order directly, and his tone did not allow anyone to refuse.

Originally coming to Zhao State was just a temporary measure. If it weren't for catching big fish, I wouldn't have come here.
