Few people can fluctuate his emotions, but whether it was five years ago or now, she can always easily cause his emotions to fluctuate.

"You..." He only uttered one word.

Su Manman noticed his expression changed. Forced by the situation, she bit the bullet and interrupted, "Your Highness, I need to go to the toilet urgently."

Outside the cave, the people were blind to see and deaf to hear, and they all consciously made way.

Su Manman rolled and crawled to her feet, picked up the cloak that was spread on the ground, and wrapped herself tightly in it.

"Your Highness, you and the guards must not peek."

Ye Mo: “…”

Wu Xiaowen and the guards shrank their necks, lowered their heads, and looked at their toes.

How dare they covet His Highness's man?

After dawn, Su Manman's strength recovered. She clamped her legs together and ran into the dense forest like someone who had to pee.

It's already dawn, it's time for mother to get up.

I wonder how long Qingluan and Taohong can hold her off?

She had to hurry back to Baiyun Temple.

After entering the dense forest, she followed the footprints on the ground and searched all the way.

Fortunately, we found the rope that Wu Xiaowen mentioned.

She pulled hard with both hands, trying to climb up.

My right shoulder hurt, and the wound that had just closed was torn open again, staining the rope red.

Su Manman gritted her teeth, forced her feet to move their internal energy, and with the help of a rope, she jumped onto the cliff and landed beside the road.

There was a chaotic fight last night, but it was too dark to see the severity.

This morning, everything was exposed to the sun, with corpses and heads scattered everywhere, and blood almost dyed the entire road red.

There were several guards on the road, and when they saw her, they raised their swords warily.

Su Manman buried her face in her cloak and said coldly, "Tell His Highness that I will go ahead.

She moved extremely fast, using her lightness skills to jump over the falling boulders, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At the bottom of the cliff, Ye Mo and others didn't see her coming back, so they chased after her.

The bloodstains on the dangling rope completely enraged him.

"Damn it!" He cursed, and Wu Xiaowen was so scared that he didn't dare to joke anymore.

"Your Highness," Wu Xiaowen reported solemnly, "We immediately reported last night's events back to the palace. The Emperor has learned of this and has dispatched the Ministry of Justice to coordinate with Lord Cao, the Minister of Justice, to lead the investigation and apprehend the assassin."

"Last night there were violent storms, and many roads were impassable. However, according to the time, Lord Cao should have arrived."

"And that Han Xiao..." Wu Xiaowen lowered his voice, "We beat him half to death last night and deliberately let him escape. Our people are keeping a close eye on him to see if we can catch a bigger fish."

"Okay." Ye Mo was not in the mood to listen to this and was worried.

Her wound had opened again, the mountain road was destroyed, and she was weak. What would she do if she fainted on the road on her way back?

"Your Highness," Wu Xiaowen asked, noticing that he was distracted, "Shall we return to the palace now?"

The rolling gravel and mud buried a long section of the mountain road, making it impossible for carriages to go up and down the mountain. However, the carriage from the palace had already been waiting at the other end of the road.

After they crossed this road, they could take a carriage back home.

"Return to Baiyun Temple."

Ye Mo turned over and jumped onto a horse, "Pass the order down, His Royal Highness Prince Qi was assassinated, shot in the chest, seriously injured and unconscious, and is now recuperating in Baiyun Temple."

Wu Xiaowen: “…”

Seriously injured?

What play is this?

When they returned to Baiyun Temple and lifted up Ye Mo's clothes, Wu Xiaowen was almost mad with anger.

This person is so tolerant.

He had not been hit by an arrow in the chest, but the injury was worse than if he had been hit by an arrow.

It should be the moment when the gunpowder exploded. He flew forward to catch the person, and some flying gravel bounced over and hit him in the heart.

Fortunately, the heart-protecting mirror on his chest blocked it for him.

There was a deep dent on the surface of the simple and hard heart-guard mirror, and the convex part on the back had rubbed the skin over the heart, leaving a purple patch next to it.

This injury may not seem serious, with little skin damage, but the internal injuries are actually more devastating.

"Your Highness, you should take care of your body."

Wu Xiaowen has been taking care of Ye Mo's health for ten years.

During the past ten years, he was constantly worried, and his whole state was like an old nanny taking care of a child.

"Last night, that young lady saved everyone, and we are all grateful to her. Even if Your Highness wants to save people, he shouldn't put himself in danger."

He advised earnestly: "What if something happens to you? What are we going to do?"

"You're too noisy!" Ye Mo took the heart-protecting mirror in his hand, looking at it carefully, wondering what he was thinking.

There was a slight commotion in the yard, and a faint female voice was heard. He thought for a moment and gave Zhuifeng a look, "Go and see what's going on."

Zhuifeng disappeared and returned in a moment. "Yesterday, Miss Su lost a jade cicada while burning incense in the front hall. She searched everywhere but couldn't find it."

"This morning, a young novice monk found a jade cicada in the ashes while cleaning the incense burner."

"Jade Cicada!"

Ye Mo murmured repeatedly, his fingers rubbing the damaged spot on the heart mirror, his eyes dark, "Why the noise?"

"Master Xuwu has seen Yuchan and asked Miss Su to have a talk with him. He wants to return Yuchan personally."

"But Miss Su's maid stopped the young monk and told him that Miss Su had heard about the Master's appointment and would not leave until she had burned incense, bathed, changed her clothes and washed herself."

"Miss Su spent an hour washing up, and the young monk was waiting outside."

After these words were spoken, the three people present looked at each other in surprise.

Wu Xiaowen bandaged Ye Mo's wound with swift movements and said, "This Miss Su has a strange temper, but she does have some abilities."

His gaze fell on the heart-protecting mirror in Ye Mo's hand, "Your Highness, do you still remember what she said when she gave you the heart-protecting mirror?"

How can I forget.

She reminded him more than once to always wear a heart guard to protect him.

In the cave, he also raised doubts.

She said she could tell fortunes and read faces.

He didn't answer.

Wu Xiaowen did not ask any further questions. He packed up the medicine box and was about to close the lid when Ye Mo reached out, took out a bottle of special wound medicine and stuffed it into his sleeve.

"I'm going to play chess with the master." He stood up and stopped at the door, adjusting the sleeves of his robe.

"Your Highness, you have a chest injury. You should stay in bed and recuperate." Wu Xiaowen advised desperately.

"Playing chess for a while won't kill anyone." After saying this, the man walked away.

In the main hall of the incense room, when Madam Zhou and Mrs. Lin were having breakfast, they did not see the girl Man'er.

Taohong came to report that the girl was not feeling well yesterday and felt sleepy this morning, so she did not come to eat.

Neither of them paid much attention to it, and they had their breakfast on their own and recited scriptures together for a while.

After a while, the girl still didn't show up, so he sent someone to ask her, and only then did he learn that Master Xuwu wanted to see her.

The girl locked herself in the room and insisted on burning incense, taking a bath and changing clothes before going out.

After all this trouble, an hour passed and the person still didn't leave.

Old Madam Zhou was very anxious.

Yesterday, she saw that Man'er was a sensible girl. Now that wealth and prosperity were falling from the sky, how could she not accept it?

Madam Zhou held Lin's hand, looking anxious: "Do you know Master Xuwu?"

Lin nodded: "Of course I know."

"Do you know how difficult it is to be noticed by Master Xuwu and to arrange a meeting?"

Lin nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
