Murong Xiao quickly looked up and reached out to stop him, "Put them all down, thank you, Your Excellency."

Qin Wanyou breathed a sigh of relief; at least he was still a human being.

"No need, it's just a matter of mutual benefit. However, your Gu poison is too potent; this can only suppress it for about six months." After saying that, he disappeared in a few leaps.

After taking the prince's pulse, Physician Luo exclaimed in shock, "It really is under control! Your Highness, most of the Heart-Corroding Poison has been forced out!"

Murong Xiao felt a lightness in his body that he had never experienced before. "That's right."

At this moment, her phoenix eyes were no longer calm and still, but sparkling with starlight.

"I'll find some medicine for you right away and prepare a medicinal bath to clear away the remaining toxins and regulate your body." Doctor Luo was very excited and turned to leave.

"No rush, Elder Luo. What we urgently need to deal with now are those ambitious, ruthless, and merciless people." Murong Xiao stood in front of the artificial hill, looking towards the direction of the fighting, burning, and shouting in the front yard. The firelight illuminated his cold, sculpted, and flawless face, while the trace of blood at the corner of his mouth accentuated the incomparably bewitching beauty of his domineering face.

The miracle doctor left behind only his back and the words, "You go and take care of yours, I'll go and prepare mine."

Granny Wang was also worried about the young master's health. "Young master, we can handle this outside. You should rest first."

Murong Xiao was still looking in the direction of the fire. "No, Granny, I'm fine now. You stay here and take care of the rear for me."

Then he called out to Mo Nan and Mo Bei, "Mo Nan, Mo Bei! Come with me! The rest of you, guard the rear. Don't let any suspicious person get away."

"Yes, Your Highness!" everyone replied in unison.

In the front courtyard of the Regent's Palace, Mo Dong and Mo Xi led the Regent's Palace guards in a desperate fight against the attack. Every face was filled with determination, without any fear, as they fought hard to kill every attacker.

Suddenly, a huge fire broke out in the direction of the attic, and then with a "bang," it collapsed.

Gu Siyuan stared in the direction of the attic and screamed at the top of his lungs, "No~ Uncle~"

With a 'whoosh', his arm was slashed by a sword.

"Young Master~" Mo Dong killed the attacker.

"Young Master Gu."

While resisting, Gu Siyuan kept calling out "Uncle".

Mo Dong whispered to Gu Siyuan, "Young Master Gu, the young master will be alright."

But Gu Siyuan couldn't hear him and charged toward the attic, killing the person in front of him.

Meanwhile, Moxi and the generals of the Prince's Palace were also fighting back furiously, wielding their swords and hacking away like slicing melons, cutting left and right, cleaving forward, blood flowing like a river, corpses strewn all over the courtyard, a scene of utter devastation.

But there were still continuous sneak attacks. When the guards of the Prince's Palace saw the endless stream of enemies, they felt a little scared.

Suddenly, three people flew out from the firelight.

When everyone saw it,

Isn't the one in the middle their handsome and upright prince?

Upon seeing this, Gu Siyuan blurted out, "Uncle, they... they're having a final burst of energy before death!"

Moxi looked at Murong Xiao excitedly: "No, this is rebirth from the ashes."

The commander of the attack was even more terrified upon seeing Murong Xiao like this, shouting, "Kill Murong Xiao!"

Standing at the front of the crowd, Murong Xiao's gaze pierced the commander not far away, and he coldly uttered, "Those who attacked the Prince's Mansion, kill them without mercy!"

After saying that, he moved his sword as if he and the sword were one, and instantly stabbed towards the commander on the roof.

"Kill!" Mo Nan and Mo Bei shouted in unison, swinging their swords to stab at the enemy.

What followed was another bloody storm.

After circling around to make sure there were no followers, Qin Wanyou arrived at the courtyard of Yulingfang in the west of the city.

As soon as I entered, I couldn't help but slump into a chair.

Si'er, who was still burning paper money, was about to exclaim in surprise when she saw Qin Wanyou, who was completely covered up.

"It's me!" Qin Wanyou called out to stop her.

Si'er swallowed the gasp that was about to escape her lips, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Wanyou exhaled, removed her mask and black robe, and threw them directly into the brazier. "Quickly, burn them with a big fire."

Si'er immediately did as instructed, and the firelight reflected on Qin Wanyou's face, highlighting her exquisite features.

This was the first time Si'er had seen Qin Wanyou's face. She had big, beautiful peach blossom eyes and a delicate face. She was so beautiful!

But he had no time for praise. Seeing the blood at the corner of Qin Wanyou's mouth, he asked, "Miss, are you injured? Should we call a doctor?"

Qin Wanyou raised her hand to indicate that she didn't need it, and took out the Hidden Spirit Grass. "Boil a small pot of water for me, put this in it to soak, and keep an eye on it."

Si'er took the Hidden Spirit Grass. "Yes, Miss, please wait. It will be ready soon."

After changing her clothes, Qin Wanyou began to meditate in the mourning hall.

A moment later, Si'er came in carrying a bowl and a pot of steaming hot water. "Miss, it's ready."

Then he placed the bowl on the table, poured water into it, and said, "It's very hot. Let it cool down a bit before you drink it."

After Si'er finished, she stood aside, still worried about Qin Wanyou's injury. "Miss, are you sure you don't need to call a doctor?"

Qin Wanyou shook her head, "No need, I can see a doctor tomorrow."

Then he looked at Si'er and asked, "Your name is Si'er?"

Si'er bowed her head and replied, "Yes, my surname is Lu and my name is Si'er. This is the name given to me by my stepmother because I am the fourth child in the family."

Qin Wanyou reached out and touched the bowl; it was still very hot. "Didn't your parents give you a proper, nice-sounding name?"

Si'er shook her head. "My father is illiterate. My mother did think about changing my name, but my grandmother was in charge of the family at the time and disagreed. My father also trusted my grandmother because she was literate."

Qin Wanyou pondered for a moment, then asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Si'er seemed to have considered it for a long time before saying, "I'll take my mother back to my hometown and bury her properly first."

He then fixed his gaze on the ground with a sinister look, "Then I'll go find that bunch of ungrateful bandits and take revenge!"

After saying that, she looked up at Qin Wanyou with tears in her eyes and said gratefully, "I have no way to repay your great kindness, Miss. I can only repay you by being your servant in my next life."

"Can you beat them?" Qin Wanyou asked again.

Si'er said firmly, "Even if we can't win, we have to fight. I must avenge my mother and my father!"

"Foolish!" Qin Wanyou coldly uttered the two words.

Si'er stared at Qin Wanyou in surprise, stunned, "Miss...

"Knowing you can't win, why go and die? Are you worried your mother will be too lonely on the way? Or do you want your mother to die with her eyes open? Your mother must have said something to you in her last moments. Do you really want your mother to not rest in peace even after death?" Qin Wanyou mocked mercilessly.

Si'er cried sadly, "But, but my mother died so tragically. She was beaten to death by them! If I can't avenge them, I will never have peace of mind in my life."

Qin Wanyou gazed outside, seemingly looking at something. "Who says we can't avenge them? It's just not possible now, but that doesn't mean we can't in the future. What we need to do now is to work hard to become stronger, learn new skills, and wait for the right opportunity to wipe them all out!"

"Miss~" Si'er looked at her mistress in surprise.

“If you go to seek revenge now, not only will you fail, but you might also be humiliated and die, making your enemies even happier; even your mother might not recognize you after you die.” Qin Wanyou took a sip of water. “So, what we need to do now is to strengthen ourselves. We are still young, we have plenty of time, and we can outlast them; however, as long as we work hard, I believe that the day we can successfully take revenge is not far away.”

"Can we really get revenge?" Si'er looked at Qin Wanyou as if seeking affirmation.

"Are you willing to follow me?" Qin Wanyou asked Si'er earnestly.

"Yes, I am willing." Si'er immediately kowtowed to Qin Wanyou.

Qin Wanyou looked at Si'er without any expression. "I'm telling you this in advance: stay by my side and don't betray me. Once you betray me, you won't be able to bear the consequences. You need to think it through."

"I swear to heaven that I will never betray Miss. If I do, may I die a horrible death!"

“Following me will also be very dangerous. You might even be smashed to pieces and leave no trace. Have you thought it through?” Qin Wanyou reminded her again.

"This servant is not afraid and is willing to follow you, Miss. I will never regret it. Please take me in, Miss."

“Alright,” he changed the subject again, “Don’t worry, even if we fail in the end, I will avenge your parents before I die. However, I hope you will avenge your parents yourself and kill the enemy with your own hands!”

"Miss~" Si'er looked at Qin Wanyou excitedly.

"Alright, it's getting late, I need to leave as soon as possible. Also, from now on, you won't be called Si'er anymore. Remember, your name is Feng Ling. I'll give you three days to handle your mother's funeral arrangements, then wait for me here. If you don't see me there, wait at the restaurant outside the west backyard of the Right Prime Minister's residence. If you see three bamboo swaying together, sneak into the master bedroom in the backyard at midnight to find me. Under no circumstances should you enter the Right Prime Minister's residence during the day!"

"Feng Ling thanks you, Miss. I will remember your instructions."

"Remember, never act rashly, and protect yourself."

After finishing her water, Qin Wanyou flew away.
