He entered the room, closed the door, and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty, you are injured." Li Yili was shocked and rushed forward to help him up.

Upon seeing that it was Li Yili, Wang Mu felt relieved. After taking only a few steps, he sat down cross-legged and said hurriedly, "Princess, you should go out first. I need to rest."

"I'll go find someone to treat your injuries, you have to hold on." Li Yili thought of seeking treatment from the Li Yan sect members.

"No need. If you really want to help me, just don't let anyone come here," Wang Mu said, forcing himself to stay calm.

Knowing that the Emperor's martial arts skills were extraordinary, Li Yili could only nod and leave.

Wang Mu sat down and examined his injuries. Although he was seriously injured, he didn't need to worry. Although he had many sword wounds, the injuries from his battle qi were not very severe. He could recover to about 70-80% after a few days of treatment. At that time, even if he was no match for the enemy, he could still escape.

After coming downstairs, Li Yili couldn't help but feel irritable. Thinking that the emperor's injury must have been caused by Prince Li Fei and Princess Lixue, she couldn't help but feel angry and went to find the princess.

After Lixue returned to the academy, the two princes rushed over upon hearing the news. She refused to see them, but when her elder brother stood outside and called out to her loudly, she left through the back door.

After leaving, she didn't know what to do next, and before she knew it, she thought of waiting for the emperor to return at the academy gate.

Not long after Wang Mu entered the academy, Feng Ji's subordinates learned of it and hurriedly told the Phoenix Princess that the Emperor might be injured.

Upon hearing this, Feng Ji turned and ran towards the academy. Xu Ya happened to be returning from outside and saw her like this. Not knowing what had happened, she noticed that Feng Ji was heading towards the Emperor's residence and followed closely behind.

As soon as Li Yili stepped out of the area and reached the entrance, she saw the princess.

Li Xue was very surprised to see Li Yili covered in blood. She wondered how the princess could have gotten injured when she had sent her back before the incident.

Seeing that she didn't seem to want to get hurt, she came over to ask, but before she could speak, Li Yili scolded her.

"Lixue, I never imagined you would treat the Emperor this way. I always thought you were so affectionate towards him, but it turns out you're a complete liar. You tricked him into protecting you and doing things for you, but in the end, you actually wanted to kill him."

Li Xue was already heartbroken and grieving, but upon hearing Li Yili's angry rebuke, she burst into tears and cried out, "I didn't! Besides, how could I possibly harm him?"

"Hmph, didn't you three siblings intend to kill him on the way?"

Li Xue didn't know how to answer. What she said was true. Li Yili said angrily, "You actually relied on your numbers and his trust in you. I can't believe you did such a thing."

"I didn't do anything to him. I wanted to ask him some questions, but... but..."

"Then how did he get injured? He was injured so badly, and you still say he's fine? Are you trying to say it has nothing to do with you?"

Upon hearing that the Emperor was injured, and seemingly quite seriously, Li Xue immediately headed towards Wang Mu's residence, but was stopped by Li Yili.

"You still have the nerve to go see him? You've hurt him so badly, what more do you want?"

Feng Ji, who was on his way, overheard Li Yili's words and rushed over to ask, "What's wrong with the Emperor?"

Upon seeing that it was the Dark Phoenix Clan princess, Li Yili said, "He is healing and will not see anyone else."

Feng Ji ignored all that and rushed toward the bad guys' residence. Li Yili couldn't stop him and had to turn around and follow closely behind Feng Ji. Li Xue followed behind, and Xu Ya also ran over. The four women rushed into Wang Mu's room.

Wang Muben was healing his injuries when he heard the noise outside. He was thrown into chaos and coughed up a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, it also brought out a lot of bruised blood, but the large basin of blood in front of him was quite frightening.

"Your Majesty!" Feng Ji rushed in and grabbed the bad guy who was about to fall to the ground.

"I'm fine." Wang Mu's smile was very ugly, with blood still sticking out of the corner of his mouth. When he turned back to see Li Xue, he sneered, "Princess, you came to see if I'm dead, right? I'm sure you'll be disappointed."

Upon hearing this, Lixue felt as if a thousand swords were piercing her heart, and her pale face was filled with boundless pain.

Feng Ji stood up and rushed in front of her, angrily shouting, "Princess Lixue, I didn't expect it to really be you! Get out of here!"

Seeing that the other women were all worried about the emperor, Li Xue realized that she was just like the other three women, but now she had become everyone's enemy. Even her cousin Xu Ya looked at her with questioning eyes and a hint of displeasure.

With tears of sorrow streaming down her face, she left the room without saying a word. The person she loved had instantly become her enemy. Heartbroken and distraught, she lost her balance as she descended the stairs and nearly fell. Fortunately, her maid, Wan'er, found her and rushed forward to catch her.

"Your Highness."

Lixue just silently shed tears, not wanting so many things to happen in one day.

Her uncle was injured, her beloved was injured, she and her beloved had become enemies, and even her cousin, with whom she had always been close, was blaming her. What did it matter if she was an imperial princess? At this moment, she would rather not have this princess status.

"Let's go outside," Feng Ji said, tears welling in her eyes.

Seeing the look in her eyes, Xu Ya and Li Yili knew that the emperor needed to heal his injuries. They were also aware of the special nature of his martial arts skills, so they withdrew.

After everyone left, Wang Mu quickly set up an array to block any external interference. Fortunately, the princess of the Li Yan Phoenix Clan had helped him alleviate his injuries, but the Li Yan spiritual power was useless against internal injuries, so he still had to heal himself.

Feng Ji was furious and didn't know how to vent his anger. When he realized that the princess was responsible for the bad guy's injury, he angrily rushed after her and caught up with her a mile away. "Princess Lixue, stop right there!"

When Lixue saw Fengji catch up, she knew he was angry, but she didn't know how to explain, so she just looked at him.

At this moment, Feng Ji said angrily, "I always treated you like a sister, but I never expected you to be so pretentious and hypocritical. You can even make your feelings for the emperor seem so real, but you never thought you would send someone to kill him."

"I...I didn't," Lixue said softly.

Feng Ji shouted, "If you didn't, would the Emperor have wronged you? Didn't you intend to kill him? Are you sure his injuries weren't faked?"

Wan'er, who was standing to the side, knew that the person in front of her was the Dark Phoenix Clan princess, but she wanted to retort when the princess was being questioned like this. Then she saw Xu Ya rushing over and said loudly, "Your Highness, the Phoenix Clan Princess."

Xu Ya knew Wan'er was calling her, so she quickly stepped forward to stop her. "Feng Ji, you don't even know what happened, yet you're here shouting and yelling in anger. I know how you feel right now, but you still need to find out the whole story. And why are you making things difficult for Princess Lixue?"

"What, you're defending her too?" Feng Ji angrily pointed at Li Xue and said, "She's already been injured, what more do you want? Didn't you hear the Emperor say that this person wants her dead?"

The emperor was injured, and Xu Ya was naturally saddened. But seeing Feng Ji like this, she roared, "Do you intend to kill Princess Li Xue?"

"What, you want to stop me?"

Feng Ji truly wouldn't kill the princess, but now she didn't know who to vent her anger on. With Xu Ya around, she was naturally the best target for her anger, as the two had been fighting each other for many years.
