Uncle Tie looked at him coolly. "She wants to ask Lou Lan to cure your antidote."

Qi Mujing didn't say anything more, and leisurely turned the porcelain bottle on the table.

Uncle Tie stared at him. Even though he couldn't see Uncle Tie's current expression, he knew what he was thinking.

Did he really not see her change?

When she spoke of him, her eyes, apart from simple concern and shock, did not throb.

Unable to provoke him, Uncle Tie left a message and went out, "Although you have pretty much cleared away the poison, but you still need to recuperate and clear out the remaining poison. Otherwise, your life will still be in danger."

After Uncle Tie left, the room immediately quietened down. Qi Mujing slowly took out a silk handkerchief and opened it. His fingers caressed the patterns on the silk handkerchief, and his eyes were so gentle that it seemed as if water would spill out at the next moment.

He had always believed that the short period of separation was for the sake of staying together for a long time in the future.

She would wait for him, she would!

He carefully folded the silk handkerchief in his hand and carefully put it away from his chest. It was the closest to his heart. In this way, it was as if she had never left him!

He raised his eyes and looked at the coffin in the middle of the room. The corner of his lips tightened into a gentle curve.

Not long after she left the house, she felt someone following her from behind. They didn't come close, but they were there the whole time.

Cold sweat trickled down her back. She suddenly felt that she shouldn't have run out so recklessly late at night.

However, if he didn't take advantage of the time when everyone was out searching for the river, he wouldn't be able to escape so easily in the future.

Thinking about Pang'er, Liu Mei frowned. She didn't know how she was doing. Did they find her or not?!

Thinking of this, he was a little worried, but a little less afraid.

His footsteps were getting faster and faster!

After going around this corner, they would arrive at the entrance to the palace.

Before he could be happy, the footsteps behind him got closer and closer and more complicated.

Swallowing her saliva, she dared not look back. The only thing she could do was to hurry to the palace gates.

When she reached the corner, a hand suddenly reached out and pulled her over.

Shen Zhi Qiao shouted. He was so scared that his heart was about to jump out of his throat. It was as if his conditions were being fired. His hands and feet were struggling nonstop.

The person who was holding her back hurriedly covered her mouth and said with a slightly nervous voice, "Madam, please excuse me."

Madam?!

Shen Zhiqiao closed his eyes and turned his head to look behind him.

Leng Yan's entire body was filled with vigilance. His ears moved, and when he felt the footsteps approaching, he slightly raised his breath. He grabbed Shen Zhiqiao's waist and leaped onto the roof, vigilantly looking under the roof.

Shen Zhi Qiao once again broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the numerous men holding sharp swords under the iron barrier.

After they left, Leng Yan finally let go and lowered his head. "Madam, Leng Yan is getting better!"

Shen Zhi Qiao took a deep breath and shook his head, "It's fine, I still have to thank you for saving me." Raising his head to glance at him, he frowned and asked, "Did Uncle Tie let you come?!"

Leng Yan was stunned for a moment before nodding his head.

Shen Zhi Qiao did not ask any further. Looking around, he felt that there was no longer any danger. "They should be far away. You should bring me down."

Leng Yan pursed his lips but did not move.

Shen Zhi Qiao didn't rush him, thinking that he definitely had his reasons.

After a long while, Leng Yan said again, "Madam, I apologize!"

He carried her and jumped down.

But before Shen Zhiqiao could even stand firm, he was stopped by Leng Yan's long arm, allowing her to hide behind him.

Shocked, she grabbed his arm to stabilize herself. Just as she raised her head to speak, the scene before her caught her in her throat.

It was the same group of people who had left earlier!

The man in the lead drew his sword and pointed it at Shen Zhi Qiao, "She left her life behind. "Scram!"

Upon hearing the order to kill her, Shen Zhi Qiao felt a shiver down his spine. Although he had previously thought that these people were here for her, he had truly heard it from his own mouth.

There were some things that could be understood with just a thought. She smiled wryly, but she couldn't hate the person who wanted to kill her this time around, nor could she … It couldn't be blamed!

Leng Yan narrowed her eyes and once again blocked Shen Zhiqiao's back. Her intention was clear, he was going to protect her until the end!

Upon seeing this, the man in the lead snorted, "You refuse a toast only to be punished with wine!" He looked at the people around him, "Kill!"

With his order, all the black-clothed men surrounded the two of them, surrounding them. Without saying anything, they started attacking the two of them, each of them with the same goal: to take Shen Zhiqiao's life, and with extraordinary skills as well.

Leng Yan's martial arts were also considered superior, but because he had to constantly protect Shen Zhi Qiao behind him, his movements were bound. After a while, a few more wounds appeared on his body.

Ever since Shen Zhiqiao had suffered a few times and suffered a lot, he had finally learned to carry a silver needle that could save him.

At the beginning, no one had placed her in their sights, but after repeatedly being injured by the silver needles that shot out from her hands, they couldn't help but raise their vigilance, and their attacks became even more ruthless.

Shen Zhi Qiao's left hand was trembling slightly in pain, and the beads of sweat on her forehead were growing more and more. From behind Leng Yan, she could clearly smell the stench of blood emitting from his body.

His heart tightened. "Leng Yan, you're injured?"

"No problem!" As Leng Yan spoke, her speed of swinging her sword increased.

The more time passed, the more numerous the people were. It would be unfavorable for them to fight the two of them. They could only take advantage of the fact that they still had physical strength and end the battle quickly.

Furthermore, since they were so close to the entrance of the palace, it was impossible for the guards to not be aware of the commotion, but they still had to obey. It seemed that the person who wanted to kill Madam Ye was most likely someone from the palace.

With surging killing intent, Leng Yan suddenly let out a low growl and killed several people in a row.

The leader's eyes turned black. He extended two fingers and placed them on his lips under the black iron. Following that, a loud and clear sound flowed out from his lips.

When Leng Yan heard that, he secretly cursed. He exerted strength into his wrist and brandished his sword at a very fast speed. As his figure quickly flashed, there were countless people who fell down.

Shen Zhi Qiao was stunned. It was only until her left arm was in pain did she suddenly regain her senses. Gritting her teeth, she looked at the wound and glared at the person who cut her.

She didn't want to kill him, but now, people wanted to kill her. If she hesitated any longer, she wouldn't be the only one to die. There was also Leng Yan, who had been protecting her.

A cold light surfaced in her eyes. She could only temporarily keep her conscience in her bosom. If she were to take modern laws into consideration, she could be considered to be defending herself and killing people.

As he thought of this, his hand that was full of silver needles continued to tremble. He felt a bright light sweep towards him again. Without any hesitation, he shot out all of the silver needles from his fingers.

Almost immediately, the few black-clothed men she was facing stopped in their tracks, and then fell to the ground together. In each of their throats, there was a tiny silver needle.

Without waiting for her to filter out how she felt after killing someone for the first time, in the next moment, a heavy body leaned on her back. She was shocked and quickly turned her head to look, but she did not know when that cold body covered in blood had appeared.

At the same time, a large group of men in black suddenly rushed up from the corner …
