He then regained his calm, indifferent demeanor, staring at the grass in the yard outside, battered by the heavy rain.

Originally standing proudly, bursting with vigorous vitality, it began to sway from side to side under the constant impact of the heavy rain. Its leaves were gradually washed away and became disheveled. Finally, unable to withstand the onslaught of the rain, it broke and fell down.

Qin Wanyou said calmly, "He was deeply poisoned by Gu poison and had no antidote. He was not going to live for long anyway. Now that he has been severely injured, the Gu poison has taken effect prematurely."

After saying that, he felt a little sad, probably because he had taken that blow for him and he felt a tightness in his chest, but he had no way to cure the poison.

Lu Ling's face showed sympathy after hearing this. "How pitiful. Back then, the Regent and the Queen sacrificed themselves to protect the Great Yan, thus preserving its territory and allowing us to have the peaceful life we ​​have now. But their son has been suffering all this time. Alas~"

After finishing her reflections, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Miss, if Prince Murong dies, wouldn't your marriage be off?"

She paused for a moment, then said, "This is the second engagement. If it's canceled this time too, people outside will definitely start spreading rumors about you, saying you're a jinx to your husbands..." She hesitated to say the last two words, "a jinx to your husbands."

Qin Wanyou glanced at it lightly, "Killing your husband?" She chuckled, "Then spread the word."

That way, no one will have anything to do with you.

Lu Ling stamped her foot anxiously, "Miss! How can you not care about your reputation? If word gets out that you're a jinx, you'll have a hard time finding a suitable husband in the future."

Qin Wanyou remained calm and composed. "What can I do now? I can't save Murong Xiao either."

Then he glanced at Lu Ling and said, "Besides, does a woman have to get married? Aren't we living quite comfortably now? Look at the couple who just got married in Yuhua Lane. They argue every day, and their house is a complete mess. Is that the married life you want?"

He took a sip of tea and said, "If you're thinking about getting married, I can help you find someone suitable."

Lu Ling thought of the married women and the people in Xihua Lane. When she heard that Qin Wanyou was going to marry her off, her eyes showed some fear, and she quickly shook her head, "No, no, Miss, I don't want to get married."

Qin Wanyou stopped trying to scare her. "It's not that I don't want you to get married. If you find someone who is truly good to you, you can consider it. But you must be careful to keep the family finances under your control. If the man is disobedient and acts recklessly, just kick him out and take the money."

Lu Ling was stunned by what Qin Wanyou said!

But it's not over yet.

Qin Wanyou continued, "Think about it, if you're both unhappy with your relationship, why not separate and live a carefree life on your own?"

After finishing her tea, Qin Wanyou went back to her room, leaving Lu Ling standing alone by the window in shock.

After returning to her room, Qin Wanyou immediately took out the jade pendant, turned it over with both hands, and circulated her spiritual energy to heal her injuries.

Meanwhile, Mo Nan braved the rain and desperately ran to the Duke's mansion to bring the old Duke to the Prince's residence.

At this moment, he was also treating Murong Xiao's injuries.

After several hours of effort, the situation was finally temporarily suppressed again.

Both the divine physician Luo and the old Duke were sweating profusely with tension.

However, Doctor Luo was still worried, "Although it is temporarily suppressed, the time when the young master will wake up is uncertain. We still need to find an antidote to remove the poison as soon as possible, otherwise the young master will not be able to last a month."

Then he looked at Moxi and asked, "What news has come back from Dong? When are you going to be back?"

Moxi shook his head. "I've already sent people to look for Dongge and Granny along different routes, but I don't know if they've found a way to remove the curse."

Upon hearing this, everyone knew that hope was slim and there was nothing that could be done.

At this point, everyone was already preparing for the worst, because a round trip to Chu Yue would take at least two months, and the Crown Prince only had so much time left...

The Regent's Palace was shrouded in a low-pressure atmosphere, much like the gloomy weather.

After several days of torrential rain, the streets of Yandu City were flooded.

The people's mood has changed from cheering to lamenting. When will this rain stop?

The school has been closed since yesterday due to the heavy rain.

Linglong Pavilion also posted a heartwarming notice, stating that it will only sell daily necessities and accommodate overnight guests in the near future, and will be closed for other purposes. It also reminded families with young children to remind them not to play near rivers or places with many puddles to avoid drowning or being swept away by rain.

In addition, if family members are unable to go out to buy food, they can ask neighbors to pass on a message, and Linglongge can deliver the food to their door.

Once the notice was posted, the people went back and spread the word, all praising Linglong Pavilion.

Linglong Pavilion's reputation soared in the hearts of the people, who felt sorry for the deliverymen who braved the torrential rain to deliver the goods to their door, while also praising them highly!

Of course, some shops followed suit afterward, but none could match the reputation of Linglong Pavilion.

After a few days of rest, Qin Wanyou's injuries had mostly healed.

Taking advantage of the reduced rain tonight, Qin Wanyou changed her clothes and flew towards the south of the city.

At the Regent's Palace, Murong Xiao has been unconscious for the past few days and has not woken up. Fortunately, his injuries have not worsened and the Gu poison has not intensified.

The atmosphere in the Prince's mansion grew increasingly somber, and Mo Nan and the others looked even darker than the sky had been these past few days.

These past few days, the group of them have been taking turns looking after Murong Xiao, and they've all lost a lot of weight.

Doctor Luo also seemed to have aged several years in an instant.

After hearing that Murong Xiao had been seriously injured and had fallen into a coma due to poisoning, Gu Siyuan came to the Prince's Mansion and has been living there to take care of Murong Xiao.

Now he's unshaven and has lost all his former vigor.

Tonight, it's Mo Nan's turn to guard Murong Xiao.

Doctor Luo noticed how haggard everyone looked these past few days, so tonight he brought a large handful of nourishing herbs and gave them to the kitchen chef to cook a big pot of nourishing soup for everyone.

It was only a short time after nightfall when Mo Nan ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on the young master and make his third trip to the outhouse that night.

He had just come out of the outhouse when his eyes suddenly became alert.

I think I heard a sound.

Mo Nan immediately slipped into a dark corner to examine it more closely.

Although it was mostly the sound of rain, other unfamiliar sounds appeared.

It seems to be...

Mo Nan immediately tiptoed back to Murong Xiao's room.

Immediately have someone wake up Moxi and Mobei next door to be on alert.

There is an assassin!

Upon hearing that there was an assassin, the resting people immediately woke up.

He jumped off the bed and grabbed the sword.

As soon as I stepped out of the room, I saw a row of men in black jumping down from the courtyard wall in front of me.

Moshi shouted, "Assassins! You stay here to protect the Crown Prince! The rest of you, come with me!"

The Regent's Palace was attacked again, but everyone was already used to it and quickly activated the traps and formations.

A volley of arrows shot out, and the men in black fell one after another. The men in black behind them immediately used their swords to block the arrows and continued to advance in the rain.

Meanwhile, men in black were also secretly attacking from behind.

Mo Nan quickly noticed and began fighting with the man in black.

The men in black behind were even more skilled than those in front, and the guards kept falling down.

Mo Nan was no match for four men, and soon men in black rushed into Murong Xiao's room.

The man in black, knife in hand, slowly approached Murong Xiao, who was in a medicinal bath. "It's all your fault for being born into the wrong family!"

Mo Nan shouted from outside, "Your Highness!"

However, they were quickly entangled by the men in black.

When the knife was only a finger's width away from Murong Xiao's heart...

suddenly,
