There were fewer small flowers along the escape route. Most were large potted plants like the one guarded by three people earlier.
These potted plants broadened Dongfang Yi's horizons. Just as she was about to talk to Helian Qi, she saw Lian Cheng draw his sword behind them.
Lian Cheng immediately stepped in front of the three girls to protect them.
Rong Yi also drew his soft sword. Dongfang Yi was startled by this situation and quickly asked, "What's going on?"
"Someone tried to harm you when you were at the inn. Young master knew it was not easy for you to go out of the mansion, so he didn't tell you and let you have a good time," Su Luo explained to Dongfang Yi while holding the things in her bag and looking ahead.
"Right," Su Luo said as she took out a small bottle of pills from the side of her bag with her other hand. "Take these."
Just as everyone finished taking the pills, the killers emerged one by one.
The informants placed by Rong Yi also shed their disguises and joined the protection.
The number of killers this time was several times more than those on the roof that day. The tourists panicked and ran everywhere. But these killers were strange. They didn't attack these innocent people, and they didn't even go all out against those who fought them.
"Why aren't these people going all out?" Dongfang Yi was also a bit puzzled looking at these killers.
Lian Cheng, who was protecting the three girls, said, "We don't have time to worry about whether they go all out or not."
After saying that, he leaped into the fight with his lightness kung fu.
Su Luo was not to be outdone. Whenever someone got close, she immediately scattered poison powder, which made those approaching the three girls and Helian Qi either have eye pain or itchy skin.
Rong Yi looked at the people around him and said, "There are a large number of them. Everyone should be careful and cautious."
After saying that, he also leaped into the fight.
Dongfang Yi forced herself to calm down. Seeing a depression nearby, she immediately pulled Helian Qi, Donghua and Su Luo to hide in it.
"Tell me, how long have you been hiding this from me?" Dongfang Yi, who had been kept in the dark, was a bit angry and didn't look happy at the people around her.
"Your Highness, I was also kept in the dark," Donghua said aggrievedly.
"Then you're on my side. Let's interrogate these two," Dongfang Yi pointed at Helian Qi and Su Luo.
Helian Qi had been observing the situation around. Seeing that the killers were defeated and basically dealt with by their own people, he told those hiding here to come out.
Dongfang Yi saw the mess. Just as she was about to stretch, an arrow flew over. Before she could react, Dongfang Yi instinctively closed her eyes but didn't feel any pain. When she opened her eyes, she saw.
Helian Qi had already hugged her tightly. The arrow hit Helian Qi on the left side, close to his heart.
The arrow was poisoned. Helian Qi quickly fell into a coma. Dongfang Yi was shocked by Helian Qi in front of her. She watched Helian Qi slide down in front of her and then was pulled down with him before she found her voice. She shouted at Helian Qi, "Helian Qi!"
Hearing Dongfang Yi's cries, the people in the fight looked over and saw Helian Qi lying on the ground.
Rong Yi frowned and said to his own people, "End this quickly."
Lian Cheng dealt with the killer who was entangled with him and immediately rushed to Helian Qi's side.
Dongfang Yi hugged the unconscious Helian Qi and cried non - stop. Su Luo quickly checked Helian Qi's wound and said to Dongfang Yi, "I have to pull out the arrow immediately. You'd better close your eyes."
There were barbs on the arrow. Pulling out the arrow would take out some flesh and skin. Su Luo was worried that Dongfang Yi couldn't bear it, so she reminded her.
But Dongfang Yi, who was just crying, couldn't make any sound and could only shake her head.
Seeing that Dongfang Yi insisted on watching, Su Luo had no choice. She sprinkled the hemostatic powder she brought on the handkerchief she had prepared in advance, covered the wound and quickly pulled out the arrow. "Lian Cheng, help me press on it first. I need to take a look at this arrow."
Lian Cheng quickly nodded and controlled the handkerchief to try to reduce Helian Qi's blood loss.
Su Luo, who noticed something was wrong with the arrowhead, touched it and said, "The arrowhead is poisoned."
"What?" Dongfang Yi forced herself to calm down, found her voice and asked, "Can it be cured?"
"Let's go back to the mansion first. I need to take a look," Su Luo said. Then she looked at Rong Yi. "Hurry up and finish this. We have to go back to the mansion immediately."
Receiving Su Luo's "order", Rong Yi speeded up, and the others also speeded up. They quickly dealt with the killers at Sui Xin Lake and immediately rushed to the Su Mansion.
The successful killers immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the palace by carrier pigeon.
In Concubine Dong's palace.
Seeing the pigeon coming, Concubine Dong quickly stepped forward, took down the letter and opened it. She said to Concubine Chu beside her, "Your Highness, the emperor has been shot by an arrow, and the arrow has been coated with highly poisonous substances."
Hearing that the matter was done, Concubine Chu twitched the corner of her mouth and left Concubine Dong's palace. Concubine Dong looked at the content of the letter worriedly. She had already told them to spare the emperor's life. Why was there still highly poisonous substances?
They rushed back to the Su Mansion without stopping. Seeing that the Su Mansion was safe and sound, the group felt relieved and quickly carried Helian Qi into the side room.
Seeing Helian Qi unconscious, Lord Su was shocked and quickly asked what was going on.
Rong Yi, the calmest one in the group, explained the whole thing to Lord Su. Su Heng quickly helped Lord Su calm down, for fear that Lord Su couldn't catch his breath because of this.
"It's all my fault. I was in a daze and didn't see that arrow. Otherwise, I would have dodged it myself," Dongfang Yi kept blaming herself for being in a daze just now.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. First, let him take this pill to prevent the poison from spreading too fast," Su Luo took out a pill from the small medicine bottle and handed it to Dongfang Yi.
Dongfang Yi quickly fed the pill to Helian Qi and asked, "Can't we stop the spread of the poison?"
"To stop the spread, I need to know what kind of medicinal materials this poison is made of first so that I can develop a drug related to this poison. The medicine I gave just now can control 60% of the spread of the poison. I'll do the research," Su Luo said as she was about to rush out with the arrowhead. Suddenly, she thought of something and quickly said to Su Heng, "Brother, help me carry out all my tools."
Su Heng quickly agreed and went to carry the tools with Rong Yi.
Dongfang Yi held Helian Qi's hand on the couch and cried non - stop. Lian Cheng also blamed himself beside them.
Suddenly, he knelt in front of Dongfang Yi and said, "This subordinate failed to protect well. I hope Your Highness will punish me."
Dongfang Yi quickly helped Lian Cheng up and said, "It's not your fault. There were so many killers."
Rong Yi, who had planned everything but still failed, was also very guilty. After carrying out the tools, he also apologized to Dongfang Yi.
Dongfang Yi was a reasonable person. Rong Yi had done his best to help them in this matter. How could she blame him? She quickly said, "You made so many arrangements and protected all of us. I should thank you. How could you be guilty? Helian Qi was injured because I was in a daze. If anyone is to blame, it's me."
Su Luo didn't care about the situation here anymore. She concentrated on researching the poison on the arrowhead, hoping to develop the antidote as soon as possible.
