Shen Lu hesitated for a moment, but still said, "But what will happen to Sixth Miss if I leave? It's not safe here at all..."

He knew very well that after the recent battle, the current situation was unclear and extremely dangerous. If he left, Yin Zijin would face even more risks and threats.

Yin Zijing, however, did not panic. She calmly considered the situation. After a while, she slowly said, "Don't worry, with His Highness the Crown Prince here, there shouldn't be any problems. Besides, those people have already come once, and they shouldn't come again anytime soon. Moreover, the most important thing now is the wound on His Highness's arm, which is poisoned. We don't know what kind of poison it is. What if it's too potent? Even if I suck out the poisoned blood, it won't be effective, and that would be disastrous..."

After saying this, Yin Zijing remembered something important. She continued, "Oh! Right. Please ask Third Uncle to come over. That way, the people in the Yin family will definitely know about this. Just tell them that my condition is serious and I need Third Uncle to come and treat me. Also, Shen Lu, you must be careful on your way here and make sure to protect Third Uncle..."

Shen Lu nodded in understanding after hearing Yin Zijing's arrangement. He and Yin Zijing then quickly arrived at Sheng Yixuan's door. Shen Lu gently knocked on the door, making a "knock, knock, knock" sound. The sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet night, as if it could penetrate the entire courtyard.

A moment later, the door opened from the inside. He saw the two people standing outside and his heart tightened. He quickly ushered them into the room and anxiously asked, "What's wrong, Zijing? It's late and the dew is heavy. Although it's summer, your body is still quite weak. Remember to wear a cloak when you go out. What happened?"

Yin Zijin turned around and nodded to Shen Lu. Shen Lu understood and turned to leave.

Yin Zijing followed Sheng Yixuan into the house, sat on a wooden stool, took a sip of cold tea, and then said, "I just saw a sneaky dark figure outside my house. Someone is watching me."

I was all alone in the house, feeling really anxious, so I came to find you. Oh! By the way, where's Wanyue?

Sheng Yixuan sat on a bench and poured Yin Zijing another cup of cold tea: "Wanyue was stabbed, but she's still breathing and unconscious. I had my men arrange for her to stay in another room. Master Wudeng has already gone to check on her."

However, Master Wudeng's medical skills were not high, and whether she could survive depended on her fate and whether she could hold out until the imperial physician arrived.

"And that shadowy figure you just mentioned, things are getting more and more interesting..."

Yin Zijing looked at Sheng Yixuan with some concern, her voice tinged with worry: "What should we do next?"

Sheng Yixuan took a sip of his iced tea, then slowly put down the cup and asked, "Zijin, what do you think we should do?"

Yin Zijing took a deep breath and replied, "First, we must remain vigilant. Since they were capable of such a thing, they certainly won't let it go. Therefore, we must always pay attention to our surroundings and protect ourselves. Second, we must make a big scene, so that everyone in the court and the inner court knows about it, and then they won't act rashly."
