Ye Chuyan's consciousness and clarity in her eyes gradually returned. After she saw Wu Mu feeding her heart blood, she passed out before she could speak.
Suddenly there was a sound of neat and heavy footsteps outside, accompanied by the sound of armor rubbing against each other. After Wu Mu heard it clearly, he sneered twice. It was a whole team of imperial guards.
The person who administered the medicine was really good at planning, and calculated that the Royal Forest Army would patrol here at this time.
He had nowhere to escape at this point.
He carefully wiped off the blood on the hairpin, inserted it gently into Ye Chuyan's bun, wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth, and smoothed her slightly messy dress.
After doing this, he walked quickly outside the main palace room, pulled out a short knife from the jade belt around his waist, and slashed it to the place where his heart was bleeding.
Blood dyed his clothes red. He inserted the short knife into the jade belt and leaned against the column of the corridor outside the palace. Shouted: "Here comes someone..."
After the imperial guards broke in, they were shocked by the sight of Wu Mu covered in blood.
The leader of the Royal Forest Army knew Wu Mu and said hurriedly: "Young Master Wu, are you okay?"
Wu Mu covered his bleeding heart and said, "You guys are here. I just saw a suspicious person carrying a woman sneaking over here. I followed it all the way here. As soon as I entered the palace gate, I was ambushed. Injured by thieves here..."
Before he finished speaking, he started breathing heavily.
The leader of the Royal Forest Army was horrified, "Go and search quickly! We must catch the assassin. The envoys from Beirong are all here today, so we must not disturb the Holy Master!"
Seeing that Wu Mu's heart was bleeding profusely, his face was visibly pale, and his figure was shaky, he quickly arranged for several imperial guards to carry Wu Mu to the Imperial Medical Office.
The Royal Forest Army in charge of the search opened the main hall door and found Ye Chuyan lying on the ground.
She exclaimed: "Boss, Princess Qing passed out here."
The leader went in, took a look, and decisively ordered, "Go to King Qing and ask him to come secretly. Don't disturb other people at the palace banquet."
Apart from the emperor, the person with the most say in the palace is Prince Qing.
This matter was of great importance and involved Princess Qing, so he wanted Prince Qing to handle the matter. If the emperor asked questions afterwards, he would be less punished.
The imperial guards were all men, and no one dared to touch Ye Chuyan. The team leader had to arrange for a few people to guard the door, waiting for Pei Xiuyan to arrive.

There was still a lot of people drinking and drinking at the palace banquet. Some officials wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with Pei Xiuyan. Seeing his brows and body filled with evil spirits, everyone did not dare to go up and cause trouble, so they all hesitated.
Na Sheng looked at Pei Xiuyan with a half-smile but not a smile, the mockery in his eyes flashed away.
A man who can't protect his woman is a loser!
He wants to take her back and canonize her as Queen Beirong, sharing the country with her. When he thought of the red mole on Ye Chuyan's ankle, his eyes suddenly became dark.
Beirong's envoy beside him saw Na Sheng's evil smile and did not dare to say a word.
No matter whether Na Sheng came to visit Dafeng by force, ceded territory, or sued for peace, they did not dare to dissuade him.
The emperor who had just ascended the throne was so ruthless that after beheading the prince himself, he had people cook him into meatloaf and forced the ministers of Beirong to eat it.
Afterwards, he also told all the courtiers that those who were not loyal to him would end up like this.
He also killed all the people with that surname in the royal family.
This move shocked everyone in Beirong, and no one dared to refute him.
Pei Xiuyan felt the strong contempt from the other side and raised his head to face Na Sheng.
One eye is as dark as black ice, and the other has heavy pupils with flowing waves like a ghost.
Both of them saw murderous intent in each other's eyes, but they raised their glasses to each other and nodded slightly to each other.

A young eunuch came over and said a few words to Yan Che. Yan Ze's expression changed slightly and he whispered a few words beside Pei Xiuyan. Pei Xiuyan quietly exited Hanyuan Hall.
He rushed to Xuanyou Palace with Yan Chi.
"Where's the princess?"
Seeing Pei Xiuyan coming over with a serious face, the leader of the Royal Forest Army hurriedly said: "The princess is in the house."
Pei Xiuyan entered the house and found Ye Chuyan lying quietly on the ground, seemingly asleep. There are no scars on his body, his clothes are neat, his breath is stable, and his cold eyebrows have softened slightly.
He picked up Ye Chuyan, covered her with his cloak, and said, "Tell me the whole story in detail."
The team leader did not dare to delay and told Pei Xiuyan everything that had happened.
After hearing this, Pei Xiuyan frowned and thought deeply.
Ye Chuyan was very skilled in martial arts, but he just came out to look for Bai Zhi. Why did he end up comatose in the cold palace? Where did Bai Zhi go?
How skilled does one have to be to be able to stab Wu Mu to the point of almost killing someone?
He immediately thought of the Beirong people who peeked at Jiangjiayuan that day.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm really tired of living if I dare to act so arrogantly at the palace banquet."
He ordered to the leader of the Royal Guards: "Go and mobilize another team of Royal Guards, and divide them into two groups. One way to find the princess's personal maid Bai Zhi; the other way to find the suspicious person that Young Master Wu mentioned."
"Remember, this matter must not disturb the Hanyuan Palace. If you encounter a noble person in the palace on the road, tell them to step up the inspection just to be on the safe side."
He arranged these things and walked out of the main hall with Ye Chuyan in his arms, "I will take the princess to the Imperial Medical Office now, and I will go to see Young Master Wu for questioning. You should do as I say as soon as possible!"
After walking a few steps, he turned back and said: "Give me a list of all the imperial guards in the palace today and send it to the Qing Palace before noon tomorrow."
The team leader received the order and immediately made arrangements.
When Pei Xiuyan and Ye Chuyan rushed to the Imperial Medical Office, it was brightly lit with candles.
He handed Ye Chuyan over to the little medical girl in the Imperial Medical Office. Hearing that Wu Mu was stitching up his wounds in the inner room, he broke in first.
Wu Mu was lying on the bed, biting a piece of brocade cloth in his mouth, while several imperial doctors were using mulberry white leather thread to suture the sword wound on his heart.
Wu Mu refused to drink Ma Fei San and insisted that the imperial doctor perform stitches on him while he was awake. The imperial doctor was trembling a little when he started, and they all sighed in their hearts. The wound in Young Master Wu's heart was so deep, it was really scary.
Fortunately, Wu Mu bit the cloth and didn't move, so the stitching went smoothly.
The imperial doctor had finished suturing and was wiping the blood from Wu Mu's heart.
After the blood was wiped away, a palm-long sutured wound could be seen, winding around the boy's body like a red snake.
Pei Xiuyan stood aside and looked at Wu Mu's wounds, his eyes twinkling.
"If Young Master Wu is still conscious, please tell the truth about what happened today."
The imperial doctor wanted to advise Pei Xiuyan to ask again later. Wu Mu's wound had just been sutured and it was time for him to rest.
Wu Mu waved the imperial doctor to retreat, and he repeated what he told the Imperial Guard.
Pei Xiuyan saw that the wound in his heart was indeed serious, and now he was in a strong position, and it was not like he was lying, so he told the story about finding Ye Chuyan in the house.
He also expressed his gratitude lightly, because Wu Mu called the Royal Forest Army and Ye Chuyan was discovered in time.
Finally, he put aside his suspicion and left.
As soon as Pei Xiuyan left, Wu Mu could no longer hold on, gritting her teeth in pain and gasping for air.
He began to feel dizzy, and before passing out, he had only one thought in his mind.
It's great that Ayan is fine.
