Chapter 228 Assassination
However, a few people did not notice that as soon as they left the palace, there were vicious eyes staring at them, or rather, staring at Han Yiyi.
Han Yiyi's attention was attracted by a street vendor selling small accessories. The stall of this small vendor was filled with various handicrafts, including hairpins, hairpins, earrings, etc., as well as some small and exquisite ornaments and pendants. Looking at the exquisite workmanship, Han Yiyi couldn't help but admire that the craftsmanship of these ancient people was really ingenious and their minds were extremely clever.
She picked up an earring and was about to ask the price when she heard Yun Xiao's anxious voice ringing in her ears. Before Han Yiyi could react, she was pulled aside by Yun Xiao.
Because the incident happened too suddenly and Yun Xiao was too strong, Han Yiyi was pulled to sit on the ground.
Before Han Yiyi could ask what was going on, several men in black suddenly appeared. The leading man in black glanced at Han Yiyi and saw that he was not injured. He seemed to be relieved and hurried forward to help him up and said.
"Protect the princess," he said, pointing at two of them and said, "Send this man to the Heavenly Prison and wait for His Majesty's decision..."
Only then did Han Yiyi see that the two men in black were holding a scholar-looking man in their hands, but that man was looking at her with a pair of vicious eyes.
Seeing such a look, Han Yiyi couldn't help but frowned fiercely. She was sure that she didn't know this person. Moreover, she remembered that she had never done anything evil, such as murder or arson. Why was he looking at her so viciously?
It turned out that these people were sent by Emperor Beichen to protect Han Yiyi and the people in the General's Mansion in secret. Of course, they were mainly sent to protect Han Yiyi. He was worried that if something happened to him, his sweet potato plan would be ruined. Therefore, he issued a death order to the man in black. If Han Yiyi lost a hair, they would bring his head to him. However, he didn't expect that something happened to him as soon as he left the palace.
The men in black were thankful that the person they stabbed was not Han Yiyi, and that he was only thrown down. If anything had happened to Han Yiyi, they wouldn't have to go back and could have just committed suicide on the spot.
Because the scholar's mouth was blocked by the man in black with something, Han Yiyi didn't hear clearly what he said. Just as she was about to ask him how she had offended him, she was taken away.
Han Yiyi also knew that these men in black must have been sent by Emperor Beichen to protect her. She thought he would investigate it thoroughly, so Han Yiyi stopped worrying about it.
However, when he turned around, he saw Yun Xiao sitting on the ground with a pale face, and his shirt was wet with blood. Seeing Yun Xiao like this, Han Yiyi's face turned pale with fright, and even his voice trembled.
"Yun, Yun Xiao, are you injured?" She wanted to go forward to support him, but was worried about touching his wound. For a moment, she was at a loss.
It turned out that when Han Yiyi was choosing jewelry, Yun Xiao had been standing beside her. He saw a scholar getting closer to Han Yiyi. However, before he could get jealous, he saw the scholar took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed Han Yiyi in the heart. Seeing this, Yun Xiao didn't have time to think about it and pulled Han Yiyi away.
Because the incident happened too suddenly, after Yun Xiao pulled Han Yiyi away, he had no time to dodge the dagger, so the dagger stabbed him.
Yun Xiao saw that Han Yiyi's eyes were red, and in order not to worry her, he forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury."
The leading man in black couldn't help but frowned when he saw Yun Xiao's wound. He wanted to go forward to support him and send him to the clinic not far away. After all, if this knife stabbed Han Yiyi, their lives would be over. In this way, it could be considered that he indirectly saved his own life.
But as soon as he took a step, he was pushed aside by Han Yiyi.
Han Yiyi looked at Yun Xiao's forced smile, and her eyes became even redder. She knew that Yun Xiao said that on purpose in order not to make her worry. Seeing the blood still pouring out of his chest, she hurriedly asked the system if there was any medicine to stop the bleeding quickly. After getting a positive answer, she didn't even hear the number of points required, and directly confirmed the redemption.
But fortunately, I just exchanged points in the palace.
I have to say that the system's medicine is really effective. After a while, the blood from his chest stopped flowing out.
Because Nangong Ling and his wife and their two children were some distance away from Han Yiyi, after the incident, they were protected by several other men in black. The leading man in black was pushed behind Han Yiyi, so no one noticed that Han Yiyi stuffed a pill into Yun Xiao's mouth.
Seeing the child's wound that had been bleeding profusely just now stop bleeding in just a moment, the leading black-clad man opened his eyes wide in shock, not understanding what was going on.
But before he could figure it out, he heard Han Yiyi's voice in his ears.
"Big brother, could you please help me carry him to the clinic across the street?"
The leading man in black was so frightened when he heard Han Yiyi calling him "big brother" that he almost lost his soul. He did not care about why the blood on Yun Xiao's chest suddenly stopped flowing, and hurriedly spoke.
"Your Highness, you can just call me Chu Yun!" As he said that, he walked forward and held Yun Xiao horizontally in his arms, then walked towards the clinic.
Yun Xiao, a grown man, was hugged by another man like this in front of Han Yiyi. He was so embarrassed that he could dig a room out of it with his toes.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of astonishment on Han Yiyi's face, but he still forced himself to speak while feeling weak.
"Lord Chu, I can leave. Can you please put me down first..."
But Chu Yun ignored him and even walked faster.
In fact, Chu Yun cannot be blamed for this. He was really afraid that as soon as he put the person down, Han Yiyi would call him "big brother" again. Being called "big brother" by the princess was equivalent to being a brother with Emperor Beichen, and he didn't want to die yet.
When the doctor at the clinic saw Yun Xiao's wound, he frowned and spoke.
"The wound is very deep, but fortunately it didn't hit the heart. If it was a little more to the side, even a god would have been unable to save it!" He looked up at everyone and then continued.
"Fortunately, the bleeding has stopped now. I will bandage it and prescribe some medicine. You can go back and take care of it slowly. Just remember not to touch water, otherwise it will be difficult to heal!"
