As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

Jiang Yue's heart sank, and her grip on the dagger at her waist unconsciously tightened. Mu Yang's appearance had already made her wary, and now Qiu'er had noticed something unusual, making her even more certain that things were far from over. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and in the night, her eyes gleamed coldly like stars.

"Let's go in first." Jiang Yue said in a low voice, with an unquestionable decisiveness in his tone.

The three of them entered the courtyard and immediately closed the door tightly. Jiang Yue asked Qiu'er to check the situation inside the courtyard, while he and Ding Chen went to the main hall.

"Do you really think someone is monitoring us?" Ding Chen still found it a little unbelievable.

Jiang Yue nodded, his expression solemn: "Mu Yang won't give up easily. His purpose tonight is very clear, which is to test me. And now, he may want to know my next move."

Ding Chen then realized the seriousness of the situation. He clenched his fists, a flash of anger in his eyes: "This Mu Yang is really haunting you! I will never let him hurt you!"

Jiang Yue's heart warmed, and she glanced at him gratefully. Ding Chen's concern comforted her, but she knew she couldn't place all her hopes on others. She had to rely on her own strength to protect herself and those around her.

Qiu'er quickly finished the inspection and came back to report: "Miss, no abnormalities were found in the hospital."

Jiang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Go to the kitchen and prepare some hot water. I want to take a shower."

Qiu'er took the order and left. Ding Chen looked at Jiang Yue, his eyes full of worry: "Are you really okay? I see you don't look well."

Jiang Yue shook her head and pretended to be calm: "I'm fine, I just want to take a shower and relax."

However, after Jiang Yue finished her bath and changed into clean clothes, her uneasiness became even stronger. She walked to the window and opened it. A cold wind blew in her face, making her shiver.

She looked up at the night sky, which was dotted with stars, but it couldn't dispel the gloom in her heart. She always felt that something was about to happen, and this feeling made her feel uneasy.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise in the yard. Jiang Yue immediately became alert, she quickly closed the window, walked to the door, and gently pushed it open.

Under the moonlight, a figure slowly approached. The figure was graceful and graceful, with fluttering clothes. It was Su Yao.

She looked at Jiang Yue with a smug smile on her face. She said, "Jiang Yue, don't think you can rest easy just because you have the Imperial Guards to help you. Today is the day you die."

In Su Yao's hand, there was a dagger flashing with cold light.

Jiang Yue looked at Su Yao and sneered, "What do you think you can do to me?"

She quickly took out a packet of powder from her sleeve, and with a flick of her wrist, the powder was sprinkled towards Su Yao like a mist. Su Yao was caught off guard and inhaled some of the powder. Suddenly, she felt dizzy and everything in front of her became blurred.

"You...what did you do to me..." Su Yao's voice trembled and her body was shaking.

Jiang Yue didn't answer, but just watched her coldly as she fell to the ground, her body twitching constantly. She had expected Su Yao to appear again, so she prepared a special powder in advance. Although this powder was not fatal, it could make people lose their ability to move instantly.

Ding Chen saw Jiang Yue so clever and brave, and his love for her deepened. He stood beside Jiang Yue and said to Su Yao: "A woman like you is really too cruel. Jiang Yue has been very tolerant of you."

Jiang Yue ignored Su Yao and Ding Chen, but looked around cautiously. She always felt that things were not that simple. Su Yao's appearance was too abrupt, and the dagger in her hand...

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and a sharp arrow shot out from the darkness, heading straight for Jiang Yue...

Jiang Yue was quick-witted and quick-handed. When the sharp arrow was close to her, she dodged it by moving to the side. The arrow brushed her arm and flew past, nailing it to the door frame behind her, buzzing. Cold sweat oozed from her forehead. The arrow came too suddenly and at a tricky angle. It was obviously the work of an expert. Although Su Yao was hit by the powder and collapsed to the ground, she showed a cold smile: "Do you think you can escape like this? Tonight, you will definitely die!"

At that moment, a cacophony of footsteps echoed from outside the courtyard wall. Immediately afterwards, several men in black scaled the wall, blades in hand, charging straight at Jiang Yue and Ding Chen. Su Yao's servants also emerged from the shadows to join the fray. Ding Chen and his servants advanced, and a fierce battle ensued. The servants, relying on their numbers, initially gained the upper hand, but Ding Chen and his men, unwilling to be outdone, gradually gained ground. The flashing of swords and the cries of killing shook the air, transforming the small courtyard into a raging battlefield.

Although Jiang Yue was proficient in medicine, she was not good at martial arts. She hid behind Ding Chen, nervously observing the battle. The black-clad man was a skilled martial artist, and every move was deadly. Ding Chen's servants were gradually defeated and covered in wounds. Although Ding Chen was quite skilled, he gradually felt the strain. While fending off the black-clad man's attacks, he shouted to Jiang Yue with concern: "Go inside and hide! It's too dangerous here!"

Jiang Yue bit her lip and didn't move. She knew that even if she hid in the house, she wouldn't be safe. Rather than waiting for death, she might as well find a way to save herself. She quickly pulled out a few packets of powder from her sleeve. This was a specially made drug that could knock someone unconscious with just a small amount. She took advantage of the man in black's unpreparedness and sprinkled the powder around.

Some of the men in black inhaled the powder and became dizzy and their movements slowed. Ding Chen seized the opportunity and swung his sword to cut them down. However, a few others remained unaffected and continued to charge at Jiang Yue and Ding Chen fiercely.

The battle intensified, and Ding Chen sustained several more wounds. He struggled to protect Jiang Yue, preventing the men in black from approaching her. Just then, another sharp arrow pierced the air, aimed directly at Jiang Yue. This one was even faster and more powerful, leaving Jiang Yue no time to dodge.

At the critical moment, Ding Chen discovered the danger and pushed Jiang Yue away without hesitation!

"Jiang Yue! Get out of the way!"
