The man in black immediately let go and flew backwards.
Then the door was kicked from the outside, and Li Jingxing rushed in with a dark face, carrying a long knife and slashing at the man in black.
Behind Li Jingxing, Du Qing, Chang An and Chang Lin joined the battle.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black took out a bag of unknown powder from his arms and sprinkled it on everyone.
Everyone subconsciously covered their faces with their sleeves.
The man in black took the opportunity to slip out and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
Du Qing, Chang An and Chang Lin chased after him.
Li Jingxing strode towards Chiyang, pulled the weak Chiyang into his arms, and whispered: "It's okay."
His voice sounded different from the previous indifference, and there was fear in his apology, which made Chiyang's nose sore.
"I almost died."
Li Jingxing patted her back.
"sorry."
It was because he was careless and did not realize that the theft of the Ministry of Rites was the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
After he realized that he had fallen into the trap, he immediately dropped the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and rushed back as hard as he could, but luckily he caught up.
Chiyang knew that Li Jingxing could not be blamed for this, but could only be blamed on the enemy's cunning tactics.
This incident also made her realize that she should not take it lightly just because she had memories of her previous life.
Unexpected things may happen at any time, and she must be fully alert to deal with them.
Li Jingxing picked up Chiyang and put him on the bed.
Chiyang huddled under the quilt, calmed down, and expressed his guess.
"Your Highness, the man in black did not simply want to take my life. If he wanted to kill me, he would have succeeded a long time ago. It looks like he just wanted to poison me."
Li Jingxing also had a guess and said with a firm tone: "They are here for Baili Yan."
It was nothing more than poisoning Chiyang, and then taking Bailiyan away under the threat of letting the miracle doctor save Chiyang.
It goes without saying that the masterminds behind the scenes are Li Jingxiao and Gu Qingzhi!
Chiyang gave Li Jingxing a thumbs up in his heart.
[Finally you can see clearly that Gu Qingzhi is your enemy. Don’t be deceived by Gu Qingzhi from beginning to end like in your previous life! 】
Li Jingxing frowned, was he that stupid in his previous life?
No wonder Chiyang sometimes calls himself a fool.
Chiyang was a little worried: "Your Highness, they failed to succeed with me. It is very likely that they will attack the Queen Mother and the Chi family."
Li Jingxing nodded: "I will write a letter to my father-in-law and mother-in-law soon, telling them to be careful."
Not only must we guard against being assassinated, but we must also guard against eating, wearing, etc.
...
In the study room of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Li Jing'an pulled off the face towel and threw it on the ground, revealing a somewhat miserable face.
There was a slap mark with obvious finger marks on the left cheek, which was red and swollen.
The right cheek was even more terrifying. Not only was it covered with blood, but there was also a finger-long wound. The wound was very deep and the flesh was turned out, which was very scary.
Li Jingxiao originally looked lazy, but was shocked when he saw his friend's embarrassed appearance.
"Why is it hurt so badly?"
Li Jing'an's eyes were cold and he answered the question inappropriately: "The Chi family's martial arts training delayed some time. Li Jingxing rushed back and the operation failed."
Li Jingxiao guessed that he had not succeeded by looking at his angry look, but he had other strategies, so he didn't find it particularly difficult to accept.
"It doesn't matter, you can start with other people."
"We have alerted the enemy, but I'm afraid it will only be more difficult next time."
Li Jingxiao said nonchalantly: "There are always loopholes that can be exploited."
Having said that, he was actually not optimistic.
He had tried to start with food, but everyone in the Prince's Mansion was like Tietong, and his people had nowhere to start.
And Bailiyan was always surrounded by secret guards, so it was impossible to take him away secretly.
There was a sudden silence in the study. Li Jingxiao saw his good brother's scarred face and joked: "Let the doctor come and take a look at the injury first. If there are scars, it will be difficult to find a wife in the future."
Li Jing'an didn't think so. He didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
"Axiao, if that daughter of the Chi family falls into your hands from now on, please spare her life!"
Li Jingxiao showed a joking smile: "Why do you still take it seriously after being beaten?"
Li Jing'an touched the wound on his face, took a breath, and laughed sadly: "I have lived for twenty-one years and have never been slapped in the face. How can I not be concerned about it?"
It was indecent to come back and not reciprocate, so he had to cut a few cuts on the Chi family girl's face.
The next day, Li Jingxiao told Gu Qingzhi about the failure of Li Jingan's operation.
Gu Qingzhi was extremely distressed. Based on Baili Yan's situation, he could not persist for another half month at most, so he asked Li Jingxiao to finish the matter within half a month no matter what.
Chiyang was frightened and was in a daze for the next few days. Li Jingxing thought she was frightened and secretly asked Li Jinyan to come to the Prince's Mansion to accompany her.
In the next few days, Li Jinyan reported to the Prince's Mansion on time every day, and unlike before, she spent most of her time with Baili Yan and kept hanging around Chiyang.
But before leaving every day, I still have to go to Bailiyan courtyard to take a look.
Chiyang saw that Li Jinyan was becoming more and more attracted to Bailiyan and was very sad. He couldn't imagine what Li Jinyan would do if he saw Bailiyan's body soon.
It's not a good thing to hide some things blindly, so she decided to give Li Jinyan a shot of vaccination first, so as not to be unable to bear the blow when the time came.
That night, Chiyang went to see Bailiyan first and made a clear speech.
"Mr. Yan, Miss Gu has found a miracle doctor who says he can cure your poison. However, Miss Gu is on the opposite side of the Crown Prince's Palace. Forgive me for not being able to hand you over to her."
Bailiyan smiled lightly: "The Crown Princess doesn't have to feel guilty. Even if the Crown Princess has this plan, I won't go to Miss Gu."
Why let Gu Qingzhi's people cure him?
Work for her to repay a favor?
It would be better to just die.
Chiyang could see that Bailiyan was not telling lies, and was very puzzled. Is this man really hopeless?
But in the last life, Bailiyan lived a good life and did a lot for Gu Qingzhi. Could it be that Gu Qingzhi was trying to repay his kindness?
Chiyang couldn't figure it out and simply didn't think about it. Anyway, she would never be stupid enough to give Gu Qingzhi a good helper to deal with herself and the prince.
After Li Jinyan arrived the next day, Chiyang told the truth about Bailiyan's condition and explained the stakes.
Li Jinyan was in a low mood after hearing this, but overall she was still calm. She just said that she hoped to accompany Bailiyan on the last journey, but Chiyang did not refuse.
Three days later, it was suddenly reported in the palace that Li Jinyan accidentally ate the bird's nest intended for Queen Chi, and then vomited blood and fell into a coma. All the imperial doctors were helpless.
He only said that if the poison could not be cured within three days, he would be exhausted.
Later, Gu Qingzhi met with Li Jingxing again.
