After being reborn, I locked up all the scumbags and bitches in one nest.

A row of thin silver needles shot in through the window, piercing the man in black's neck.

The man in black in front immediately fell down.

The man in black behind him was stunned for a moment, then quickly thrust his knife at Murong Xiao.

'Ding' 'Clang'

It was quickly deflected by a sword.

Dressed in a black robe, Qin Wanyou had already flashed to the front of Murong Xiao's bathtub and quickly began to fight with the man in black.

The men in black were no match for Qin Wanyou, and most of them died quickly.

The man in black spoke up, "Who are you? Don't meddle in other people's business!"

Qin Wanyou replied in a hoarse, aged voice, "He can die, but he cannot die at your hands!"

The sword in his hand moved without pause, like pink lightning, flashing with sword flowers, his body as swift as a dragon.

With a few quick 'whoosh's, all the men in black inside the room were dealt with.

Qin Wanyou looked at Murong Xiao in the bathtub. His neck and below were so white that they seemed almost transparent. His face was a little dark, and his lips were tightly pressed together, as if they were about to break at any moment.

You took a blow for me before, and I'll save your life today. We're even!

He glanced outside again, then turned back, took out the jade pendant, flipped his hand gesture, circulated his spiritual power, and injected it into Murong Xiao's body.

Soon, Murong Xiao's expression softened, and his eyelids twitched slightly.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar woman in a black robe and mask, unable to make out any details about her appearance.

Then she slowly closed her eyes.

Qin Wanyou stopped injecting spiritual energy when she heard that the sounds outside had subsided, and put away the jade pendant.

Murong Xiao opened his eyes again, "Thank you for saving me so many times!"

Qin Wanyou turned and walked to the window. "No need. You also blocked a palm strike for me that day. Your Gu poison can no longer be suppressed. If we don't find a way to cure it soon, you won't live for many more days."

Murong Xiao's expression remained unchanged. "Life and death are predestined, and everything is left to fate. Because you were able to live a normal life for several months without suffering, I have no regrets."

Stepping to the window, Qin Wanyou said, "Farewell forever!"

Then he kicked off the windowsill and flew away.

Suddenly, Murong Xiao called out a name, "Qin Wanyou!"

Qin Wanyou paused for a moment in mid-air, then quickly departed.

Murong Xiao watched the black shadow disappear quickly into the air, chuckled, but soon sighed again.

Having dealt with the men in black, Mo Nan, covered in blood with blood still flowing from his arms and shoulders, quickly entered the room. Upon seeing Murong Xiao awake, his eyes lit up with surprise, "Young Master, you're awake."

Murong Xiao nodded. "Bring me my clothes so you can treat your wounds."

Mo Nan did as instructed.

Murong Xiao changed his clothes and stood by the window, watching the people from the Prince's Mansion and the men in black fight desperately outside.

This time, however, I can no longer fight alongside them as I did in the previous months.

However, Mo Xi, Gu Siyuan, and the guards of the Prince's Mansion were greatly encouraged when they saw Murong Xiao standing by the window.

Murong Xiao stood by the window, pondering. If he weren't there, would they have had to fight so hard, wouldn't they have been injured, and wouldn't so many people have died?

No, if I die, even more innocent people will die.

His face remained expressionless, but his hands were already nearly crushing the windowsill.

Doctor Luo finally waited until the rain subsided before going out to find a medicinal herb. Unexpectedly, when she returned, she saw that the Prince's mansion had been attacked. After finally managing to evade the men in black, she rushed to the pharmacy and saw that Murong Xiao had woken up. She was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief!

Just as she was starting to relax, she saw Murong Xiao's hand with bulging veins, which looked like it was about to smash the window open!

Before he could even catch his breath, another breath came choked him up. "Hey~ hey~, my little darling, you can't get angry, you can't get upset, and you can't use your spiritual power. Put it down, put your hand down."

He quickly went up and took Murong Xiao's hand, pulling him to sit down on a chair. "Come on, breathe in and out, calm down. Don't get angry, or the poison will spread faster."

After saying that, he reached out to take Murong Xiao's pulse.

Taking your pulse, she exclaimed, "Oh, someone treated you before??"

Murong Xiao nodded.

Doctor Luo stroked his beard and continued his exploration.

After taking your pulse, he sighed, "Although I can't cure the poison, I can at least reduce your pain a little."

At this moment, Moxi and General Changqing had finished dealing with all the assassins.

Gu Siyuan entered looking disheveled. Seeing his uncle awake, he burst into tears of joy, "Uncle, you're finally awake! Waaah~"

Murong Xiao nodded to them, "You've all worked hard. Go and treat your wounds first."

Doctor Luo was busy again.

At dawn, another clap of thunder echoed in the sky, 'Boom!' 'Rumble!'

Then the torrential rain continued, pouring down like a downpour.

Although the sky gradually brightened, all people could see was a vast expanse of white, making it impossible to distinguish between humans and animals beyond five meters.

Prince Regent's Palace,

The ground had been washed clean by the heavy rain, as if the attack last night had never happened.

Qin Wanyou arrived at Linglong Pavilion just before the torrential rain began.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, I thought of the river I had just crossed.

The river level has already risen, and water is still rushing downstream. The torrential rain continues, and it's unclear whether those downstream are prepared to open the sluice gates.

Despite the warning, I still saw some rice seedlings and vegetable seedlings floating on the surface of the moat when I passed by earlier, washed away by the rain.

Those must have been grown by farmers at the foot of the mountain outside the city.

It seems that this year's autumn harvest will still suffer significant losses.

Qin Wanyou pondered her next move.

Linglong Pavilion only opens around noon, because there is basically no business in this weather, and the second floor and above are all closed.

Most of the people who came had purchase lists from several companies, and the grain was delivered to their door.

The rain continued intermittently until August 12th, and on the afternoon of August 12th, people finally saw the sun.

But people were still not happy, because the farmland outside Yandu City looked like a vast ocean. For the past two weeks, no one had eaten much fresh vegetables, and seeing the situation outside made them feel even more depressed.

Linglong Pavilion posted another notice reminding everyone to drink boiled water and to wash and cook everything thoroughly before eating, otherwise they are prone to contracting diseases.

After two days of scorching sun, the water level of the Yanjiang River in Yandu City finally dropped to near normal levels. Farmers were finally able to go to the fields to check on their crops, propping up the fallen ones with bamboo poles and replanting the missing ones with seeds.

The imperial court and the emperor also dispatched imperial envoys to investigate the situation in various cities and counties.

Murong Xiao fell into a coma again, and his condition worsened day by day.

Gu Siyuan also went to the palace and told the emperor in detail about the attacks he had been made by different assassins on the rainy night.

The emperor was furious upon hearing this.

Considering Murong Xiao's current situation, since there is no evidence to directly arrest the murderer, then we should target those who are related to the mastermind behind the murder.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Emperor issued several imperial edicts in quick succession.

When Qin Wanyou returned to the Right Prime Minister's residence and learned the contents of the imperial edict, she was dumbfounded.
