After being reborn, I went on a killing spree in the imperial court.

"You few dare to touch me! I'll make sure you never get your way!" Cao Yuan flipped over and jumped off the cliff beside her.

The soldiers stood at the edge of the cliff, searching.

"Where is he? Could he really be dead?!"

"what!"

Suddenly, two darts appeared out of nowhere and hit the soldier's leg, causing him to writhe on the ground in pain.

"Princess! The princess has fallen!" Mu Yezhi cried out as he lay on the edge of the cliff.

Chu Yan and Mu Ye arrived just in time.

Chu Yan was in a state of confusion, staring at the pool of blood at his feet.

"With such a high cliff, it seems the chances of survival are slim," Mu Ye said worriedly.

"impossible!"

Chu Yan said firmly, "This time I've really gotten myself into a mess."

"The princess is seriously injured and poisoned! There should be a river at the foot of this mountain!" Mu Yezhi said. "You take the shortcut down the mountain! I'll deal with the other Chen soldiers!"

"Are you reinforcements brought from Huayang?"

Qi Gengxuan narrowed his eyes.

Chu Yan immediately threw a dart at him. By the time Qi Gengxuan dodged the dart and turned around, Chu Yan's soft sword was already pointed at his neck. With a flick of the sword, Chu Yan struck him.

"what!"

Qi Gengxuan's tendons were all severed, but it was done cleanly and without a drop of blood being shed.

"Sixth Prince!"

"I'll spare your life for the sake of peace between our two countries! But if anything happens to Princess Huayang, just wait for the Wei cavalry to raze your Chen Kingdom to the ground!"

Qi Gengxuan was quite frightened by him. He hadn't expected this person to be even more powerful than Cao Yuan, with an astonishingly fast sword speed. Before he could even react, it was already...

Qi Gengxuan was helped away by soldiers and fled in disarray.

Chu Yan grabbed the vine and jumped down.

"Hey!" Seeing that he was alright, Mu Yezhi went to arrange for the Wei soldiers.

-

Chu Yan searched along the riverbank for three days without finding anyone, which might be good news for him.

As long as no body has been found, she should still be alive.

Regardless of the circumstances, it was he who ruined her. If it weren't for the bowl of jade dumplings he gave her, Cao Yuan, with her skills, would never have ended up like this.

I don't know when the poison in her body will take effect. I was so anxious at the time that I forgot to ask Bailu for the antidote.

When Cao Yuan woke up, she found herself submerged in water. Her wounds had become infected and she had been poisoned. She could only drag herself to find a place to rest and heal.

Fortunately, she found the cave. Under a tree outside the cave grew herbs that could heal wounds and stop bleeding. She had seen them before when she was collecting herbs in the mountains with the Marquis of Zhenbei. Cao Yuan put one in her mouth, chewed it, and applied it to her wound.

"Ugh..." The pain penetrated to the bone marrow, and he felt suffocated and unable to breathe.

There isn't even a village in this area; it's unknown how long the poison in her body can last.

She never imagined that before she could avenge herself or find out the truth about her brother's death, she would already be dying.

Cao Yuan chuckled, wondering if she would ever come back to life after dying this time.

Cao Yuan's vision slowly blurred, and her eyelids felt incredibly heavy.

"Ah Yuan, wake up! It's cool on the ground, don't sleep."

It was my elder brother's voice.

Cao Yuan opened her eyes; it really was her elder brother, the Emperor.

"Brother, I can finally see you! I'm so tired!"

"I can see you when I die!"

Tears slid down my cheeks and onto my shoulder.

"I miss you so much, I want to be with you, Your Majesty! Please don't leave me, Mother! Please don't leave me!"

"Princess, Princess..." Chu Yan gently shook her while supporting her shoulders. He touched her forehead and said, "Oh no, she's starting to get a fever and is hallucinating. The wound must be infected!"

Chu Yan tore open her right sleeve and sprinkled medicine powder on the wound on her right hand.

Chu Yan took a deep breath. Luckily, he had taken a breath-holding pill before coming, so he couldn't smell the blood. Otherwise, he would have been exposed.

"Well......."

Cao Yuan trembled all over from the pain, and sweat streamed down her neck from her forehead.

"It'll be ready soon," Chu Yan said coaxingly.

But what should I do about this back injury...?

Chu Yan pulled up her sleeve, took her pulse, and then rolled up her sleeve again. Her arm was covered in red blood streaks, and even her neck was covered in them.

It seems we need to stabilize her condition first before we can find antidotes.

Chu Yan inserted several acupoints into her body, sealing off her internal organs. As long as she doesn't use her internal energy, she should be able to hold on for a few more days.

This poison was specially made by the people of Shu, but the key ingredient required human blood. Xiao Hanjing knew that Chu Yan could not bear the sight of blood and could not drink it, so he chose this poison.

Chu Yan still refused to believe that his younger brother, whom he had been searching for for so long, had actually poisoned him and wanted him dead.

Why on earth?

Cao Yuan slowly opened her eyes, waking from her unconsciousness, and said softly, "Why is it you? Didn't you leave with Bai Lu?"

Chu Yan's thoughts were pulled back. "Princess, you have been poisoned."

"I know! Qi Gengxuan couldn't beat me, so he poisoned me. How despicable!"

"It has been several days since I fell off the cliff."

"It's been five days."

"It's been so long, hurry up and carry me back to the military camp." Cao Yuan reached out to grab Chu Yan's clothes and fell directly into his arms.

Chu Yan quickly supported her, saying, "If your injuries aren't treated soon, you'll die before I can get you upstairs."

"These are just minor injuries; I won't die anytime soon. Besides, I can't get treatment here."

Chu Yan was immediately filled with admiration for Cao Yuan, who was even more sturdy than a man.

I have never seen a woman like her.

"I'll take you back once you're healed, but you'll have to take care of the wound on your back yourself." Chu Yan handed her the medicine bottle.

"How can I reach it if you carry me? Come on! Hurry up!"

"It's not very convenient!" Chu Yan turned his head away.

Cao Yuan frowned. "You're such a big man, so fussy. You won't take me back, but you want to save me. Are you even capable of doing it? I'm a woman, and I don't care. Why are you so hesitant and blushing?"

Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, "Then I'll have to offend you, Princess! Please take off your clothes and turn your back."

Chu Yan turned his head away.

Cao Yuan couldn't even unfasten her armor with one hand. "Come help me!"

Having no other choice, Chu Yan tore strips of cloth from his body and blindfolded himself.

Cao Yuan turned her back and directly pulled off the blindfold from his eyes. "How can you treat my injuries like this?"

Chu Yan stopped being coy, and Cao Yuan's entire back was exposed, her fair skin contrasting sharply with the hideous wounds.

The wound was very deep, so deep that you could almost see the bone. Even after so many days, the blood was still seeping out.

Chu Yan frowned with heartache as he carefully washed Cao Yuan's wounds with clean water, afraid of hurting her. However, upon closer inspection, he noticed some old scars on Cao Yuan's back. Although these scars had healed, they were still clearly visible.

In fact, a princess, born of noble birth, could easily live a life of luxury in the palace.

As the crown prince of Shu, Chu Yan sometimes felt that he was not even as good as Cao Yuan.

After Chu Yan finished applying the medicine to her, he took off his coat.

"what are you doing?"

"Your clothes are wet, wear mine first."

After saying that, Chu Yan threw the clothes at her and ran away.

Although he was wearing a mask, Cao Yuan could still tell that his face was red.

"Is he shy?"
