"Assassinated?!"

Lin Jiangnian was stunned.

He raised his eyes and looked ahead, seeing a mixture of dark firelight and several black shadows passing through the darkness.

Not far away, the servants in the palace were in chaos.

Chaos!

Lin Hengzhong was assassinated? !

This news caught Lin Jiangnian by surprise!

Lin Hengzhong is already a master at the level of a first-class master. Who else dares to assassinate him?

What's more, it's still in Prince Lin's Mansion? !

absurd!

"what happened?!"

Lin Jiangnian came to his senses and immediately asked: "Who assassinated him, and..."

"How is the prince doing now?!"

Xiaozhu's face was full of panic and he was at a loss: "I, I don't know..."

"My slave, I heard what they said... everyone in the house is looking for assassins... Your Highness, you have to be careful..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiangnian realized something was wrong.

An assassin caused so much turmoil in the palace. Could it be that something happened to King Lin? !

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Jiangnian could no longer sit still.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Outside the courtyard of the main palace, countless experts are guarding and waiting.

The Guards, wearing pitch-black armor and filled with a murderous aura, wrapped the entire courtyard airtightly.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian's heart sank.

Could something really happen?

Prince Lin was assassinated on his first night back home?

This is no small matter!

If anything happens to Lin Hengzhong, not only Linjiang City and Linzhou, but also the entire Daning Dynasty will be changed!

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian suppressed the shock in his heart and stepped forward quickly.

"Your Highness!"

Several generals were standing outside the door, and Lin Qingqing's figure was prominently among them.

Tonight, Lin Qingqing was wearing armor, and her whole body was filled with a strong murderous aura. She was completely different from the one she used to teach Lin Jiangnian in martial arts.

When she saw Lin Jiangnian, she quickly stepped forward, lowered her head and spoke.

"Where's my dad?"

"My lord...it's nothing serious!"

Lin Qingqing shook her head slightly and said, "Your Highness, don't be too anxious!"

"Nothing serious?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief. But then he noticed her expression: "Then, what is going on?!"

Lin Qingqing lowered her head and said: "Not long ago, a mysterious assassin assassinated the prince in the palace, but the assassin was severely injured by the prince and escaped. The guards of the palace are catching the assassin..."

"The identity and origin of the assassin is temporarily unknown!"

"And the prince..."

At this point, Lin Qingqing stopped again. Lin Jiangnian was keenly aware of something in her words: "How?"

Lin Qingqing hesitated for a moment: "Your Highness, you'd better go and see for yourself."

The Guards behind him made a way, and Lin Jiangnian stepped into the courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet except for a few figures.

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and looked at the lobby not far away. There was a figure standing outside the lobby.

It's the paper kite.

"Your Highness."

"Where's my dad?"

Lin Jiangnian stepped forward quickly and asked, "Are you injured? Is it serious?"

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes and shook her head gently: "The prince is fine..."

With that said, she stepped aside and Lin Jiangnian walked into the lobby.

In the quiet lobby.

There were two generals standing in the hall, with their heads lowered and serious faces on their faces. There were also several maids waiting under the eaves.

Just inside the lobby, Lin Hengzhong was sitting cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes and practicing Qigong.

Lin Jiangnian, who had just stepped into the lobby, felt a strong and familiar breath coming towards his face.

Xuanyang mind method!

Of course Lin Jiangnian is no stranger!

However, the Xuanyang Mind Technique in front of him was far more powerful and terrifying than what Lin Jiangnian had practiced!

The momentum was like a rainbow, covering the entire lobby.

Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on Lin Hengzhong, but he saw that his face was pale and he didn't look good?

Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian was shocked.

Is this...injured?

As one of the few masters in the world, Lin Hengzhong could be injured by an assassin?

How terrifying is the assassin's martial arts? !

While Lin Jiangnian was thinking, Lin Hengzhong, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and adjusting his breath, slowly stopped his exercises and opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty?!"

"My lord, how are you doing?"

The two generals next to him immediately stepped forward.

"It doesn't matter!"

A glint flashed in Lin Hengzhong's eyes, and then disappeared, shaking his head: "I am fine!"

He raised his eyes and saw Lin Jiangnian standing at the door.

"father!"

Lin Jiangnian approached, "What on earth is going on?!"

"Who assassinated you?!"

Lin Hengzhong shook his head gently, with a solemn expression on his face: "I don't know very well either!"

With that said, Lin Hengzhong stood up from the ground. As soon as he stood up, he noticed a tightness in his chest and coughed violently.

His face was slightly pale.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked.

"My lord, who hurt you?!"

The general on the side looked extremely shocked. The prince is already a rare master in the world. People who can hurt the prince are very rare in this world, let alone within the palace?

"The assassin failed to hurt me!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Hengzhong shook his head slightly, his eyes slightly focused: "This king has been poisoned!"

"Poison?!"

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

"Who poisoned me?!"

"Can someone poison you, Your Majesty?!"

"What exactly is going on?!"

Everyone looked at each other, even Lin Jiangnian frowned, confused.

Lin Hengzhong's eyes were cold and he said calmly: "The assassin's martial arts skills are not as good as mine. It's a pity that I noticed something wrong with my body when I was doing my martial arts and almost got hit..."

"I think someone poisoned me in advance!"

If he hadn't been poisoned and had some physical problem, the assassin wouldn't be able to hurt him at all, or even escape from his grasp.

"Poison?!"

Behind Lin Jiangnian, Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly focused.

With the prince's martial arts, ordinary people can't get close to him, let alone poisoning him?

The only possibility is...

"Dinner party!"

Zhiyuan suddenly thought of something, and a trace of killing intent burst out in her beautiful eyes: "Did someone poison the prince at the dinner party tonight?!"

Zhiyuan's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Lin Hengzhong's eyes narrowed: "That's probably it!"

"It seems there is a traitor in the palace!"

A flash of murderous intent flashed through Zhiyuan's eyes. She lowered her head and said respectfully: "I'll go check it out now!"

Zhiyuan was shocked and angry.

Is there a traitor in the palace?

The traitor actually sneaked in here silently, and even poisoned the prince, almost causing serious trouble!

Tonight's family banquet was a family banquet that the entire palace paid great attention to and strictly controlled, but as a result, something like this happened. This also means that the traitor may be among all the people who showed up tonight.

And the biggest possibility is... the kitchen!

Zhiyuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and she immediately turned around and left.

"Fortunately, the prince is blessed with great fortune and is safe and sound!"

The general on the side said solemnly: "Since the assassin was severely injured by the prince and cannot run far, my subordinates must go and capture him now!"

Lin Hengzhong nodded slightly, a look of doubt flashed across his narrowed eyes.

Who wanted to assassinate him?

There were many assassinations along the way from Xuzhou to Linzhou, but they all failed without exception. Now that I have returned to Linjiang City and the palace, there are still people who are so ignorant?

Do you really not take him seriously?

There was a hint of coldness in Lin Hengzhong's eyes.

Looking back, I saw Lin Jiangnian's look on the side seemed a little solemn: "Jiang Nian, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Jiangnian finally came to his senses, "I was thinking about the identity of the assassin..."

He paused and then asked tentatively: "Dad, when you fought against the assassin before, did you know the origin of the assassin?"

"The opponent's face is covered, and his martial arts skills are very unfamiliar. I can't tell his appearance, but..."

Lin Hengzhong narrowed his eyes, as if thinking of something: "But it seems to be a woman."

"female?!"

Lin Jiangnian's heart was shocked.

"No surprise, it should be."

Lin Hengzhong nodded slightly and glanced at him again: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest early!"

There was turmoil in the palace tonight, but in Lin Hengzhong's eyes it was nothing more than a trivial matter. Even if he was poisoned, the assassin still couldn't hurt him.

Nothing to fear!

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian had guessed a certain possibility, and he suppressed the shock in his heart: "Then, I won't disturb dad's rest!"

After that, Lin Jiangnian exited the lobby and left the courtyard.

After walking out of the small courtyard, he looked at the small courtyard behind him that was still heavily guarded by the Guards, and then at the figure of the master guard who flashed by in the night.

Lin Jiangnian took a deep breath and thought of a possibility in his mind!

When Lin Hengzhong mentioned that he had been poisoned, Lin Jiangnian already had a premonition that something was wrong. This feeling became stronger when Zhiyuan suddenly said that the poisoning was most likely at the dinner party.

Until just now, Lin Hengzhong mentioned that the assassin was probably a woman... At this moment, the clues came together.

An incredulous look appeared on Lin Jiangnian's face.

Immediately, he left quickly. But instead of going back to his room, he came to the yard he had just visited last night.

In the small courtyard where the maids of the royal family lived, Lin Jiangnian followed a familiar route to the door of the familiar room.

Push door.

There is no one in the dark room!

Sure enough, he's not here!

Is it really her? !

At this moment, the doubts in Lin Jiangnian's mind were instantly solved.

suddenly see the light!

The truth, defeated!

The person who assassinated Lin Hengzhong tonight... was Liu Su? !

It must be her! !

Tonight in the palace is destined to be a sleepless night.

King Lin was assassinated by an assassin. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, but the assassin escaped. Almost all the master guards in the entire palace were dispatched to search for the whereabouts of the injured assassin.

On the way back to the small courtyard, Lin Jiangnian was silent and thinking about something.

As expected, the person who assassinated Lin Hengzhong tonight must be Liu Su.

All of this is probably her plan!

Lin Jiangnian had such a premonition a long time ago... He always felt that Liu Su's purpose of sneaking into Prince Lin's Mansion was not simple.

Just for the Xuanyang Picture?

Although the Xuanyang Diagram is indeed enough to make people crazy, enough to make people spend such a high price to obtain it. But when Lin Jiangnian got along with Liu Su, he always felt that things were not that simple.

He had always suspected that Liu Su might have other purposes in the palace besides Xuanyang Tu.

as expected……

Was her real purpose originally to assassinate King Lin?

Lin Jiangnian recalled all the previous clues. Six months ago, Liu Su sneaked into Linwang Mansion under the pseudonym Liu Ye and became a maid in the kitchen.

She secretly set up a trap in the palace and controlled Lin Jiangnian to pretend to be Prince Lin's son two months ago and get closer to Prince Lin step by step. Until tonight, at the family banquet of Prince Lin's Mansion, Liu Su had indeed succeeded in getting close to Prince Lin.

And she was indeed the one who had the best chance of drugging Lin Hengzhong!

King Lin is a master, and ordinary poisons are almost ineffective against him. But Liu Su is different...she knows voodoo, so there may be more powerful poisons on her body.

"She is really crazy!"

Thinking of this, Lin Jiang young sighed. But then, he became a little worried.

Liu Su's assassination of Lin Hengzhong tonight obviously failed. Lin Hengzhong was safe and sound, but she heard that she was seriously injured?

Where are you currently?

The palace has been searching for so long, but still cannot find her whereabouts. In this case, she should have found a way to escape from Prince Lin's Mansion after the assassination failed.

However, even if she could escape from Prince Lin's Mansion, it would be difficult for her to escape from Linjiang City.

Not long after King Lin was assassinated, the news came out. After receiving the news, the generals guarding the city in Linjiang City quickly sealed the city gate.

How long can she hide in Linjiang City if she is injured?

Lin Jiangnian didn't know, but what he was more concerned about was...if Liu Su was caught, would he reveal his identity?

If she dies, will the love poison in Lin Jiangnian's body be affected?

With uneasiness, Lin Jiangnian returned to the courtyard.

There were still several maids and guards outside the courtyard.

The prince was assassinated, and the people in the palace were in panic, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. In case anything happens to His Royal Highness, several experts have been deployed in the palace to protect him, and the courtyard is surrounded by water.

A general lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, please rest early. We will do our best to protect His Highness's safety."

Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly and stepped into the courtyard.

The courtyard was deserted, and it was already late at night. Lin Jiangnian returned to the door of the room, opened the door, and went in.

He lit the oil lamp on the table and the light illuminated the whole room.

Just before Lin Jiangnian sat down at the table, he suddenly seemed to realize something and suddenly turned his head to look behind the screen.

As Lin Jiangnian's Xuanyang Xinfa's internal strength became more and more profound, his ears and eyes became much sharper than before.

At that moment, he heard a sound.

It came from behind the screen in the room!

Lin Jiangnian's eyes suddenly focused.

"who?!"

no respond.

Lin Jiangnian stared at the screen and walked away as if he suddenly realized something.

Behind the screen, the bed was empty. Lin Jiangnian immediately turned his head and looked at the corner not far away.

The next second, a flash of red appeared in the corner. A bright red dress slipped out from behind the bookshelf.

Lin Jiangnian's pupils shrank and he understood everything instantly.

"It's you?!"

Lin Jiangnian showed a hint of astonishment: "Why are you here?!"

no respond.

The figure behind the bookshelf remained motionless and seemed to have made no sound.

Lin Jiangnian slowly approached the bookshelf, and then he finally saw...it was indeed Liu Su.

At this moment, Liu Su put on a red dress again and squatted in the corner behind the bookshelf. Her hair was messy and disheveled, and her body was curled up into a ball, motionless.

His breathing was weak, and there seemed to be no movement!

"Are you still alive?"

Lin Jiangnian continued to test, but she still had no reaction.

When he came closer, he saw a delicate but bloodless face.

Scary white!

The whitened red lips, weak breathing, closed eyes, and the pained look remained motionless.

Couldn't he be... dead?

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian immediately reached out and put his hand under her nose. When he felt the weak breathing, he felt a little relieved.

Not dead yet?

But looking at her like this, I'm afraid that's about it!

"Do you think you are crazy and dare to assassinate King Lin?"

Lin Jiangnian stared at Liu Su, who was huddled in the corner in front of him, and muttered to himself.

At this moment, she was seriously injured and dying. If she didn't find a way to save her quickly, she might really lose her life.

"Don't die... at least you have to detoxify me before you die!"

Lin Jiangnian muttered, then stepped forward to test her and touched her, but there was still no response.

So he bent down and reached out through Liu Su's waist and legs, picking her up.

Her body was very light and boneless, and it was impossible to tell that such a light body contained such a powerful aura.

When Lin Jiangnian picked her up, Liu Su still had no reaction.

Lin Jiangnian carried her to the bed beside him and laid her flat on the bed.

She remained motionless and allowed to have his way.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian sighed.

In order to deal with her before, Lin Jiangnian thought up many plans, and even used dirty tricks like drugging... but he still failed!

However, at this moment, Liu Su just lay here without resistance, without any movement.

However, Lin Jiangnian didn't have the heart to think so much at the moment!

He probably guessed why Liu Su was hiding in his room!

There are so many masters outside, but it is impossible for her to escape from the palace now that she is seriously injured. Hiding in other places will expose you at any time, but Lin Jiangnian's room is different. No one dares to search Prince Lin’s room, and no one dares to doubt that Prince Lin knows the assassin!

Staring at Liu Su, who was lying flat on the bed, her slightly pursed lips were bloodless and her breathing was weak.

However, there were a few streaks of blood at the corner of her mouth. At the same time, there was a faint smell of blood in the air, and even the bright red dress on her body was stained with some blood.

Combined with the red dress, it looks particularly bright!

But right now, Lin Jiangnian couldn't care less about admiring this. He had to find a way to save this woman.

We can't let her die here!

Senior Li once said that some poisonous poisons recognize their master. Once the person who raises the poison encounters something unexpected, the poison they raise will become violent and out of control. The person who is poisoned will most likely be penetrated by the rampant poison. And die...

As for this love Gu, it is possible that this is the case.

Therefore, Lin Jiangnian had to worry about this. What would Lin Jiangnian do if she died?

Therefore, we must save her before the poison is released!

He revived this bitch and threatened her with the antidote!

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian quickly checked Liu Su's condition and found that there were no external injuries, but internal injuries!

The internal injuries seemed a bit serious!

Without further ado, Lin Jiangnian sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed her hand and squeezed it tightly. Then he started to use his mental skills and slowly began to pump internal energy into her body.

The transitional mind method is a way to treat internal injuries!

If a person practicing martial arts suffers internal injuries, the body's internal energy will be disordered, causing the internal energy to lose control and surge through the body. At this time, another martial arts practitioner needs to transfer the internal force in his own body to the opponent's body to help the opponent calm down the out-of-control internal force.

On the other hand, internal strength can also help the opponent heal his injuries!

As Lin Jiangnian continued to transport the internal force in his body into Liu Su's body. After a while, Liu Su's originally pale face recovered a little. And the breathing that was almost inaudible seemed to be heavier.

But Lin Jiangnian's face was a little pale.

His internal strength is not strong!

Having just entered the ninth level, Lin Jiangnian has not yet reached the first level of Xuanyang Mental Technique. As the internal energy continued to be pumped into Liu Su's body, he soon became exhausted and almost drained of his internal energy, forcing him to stop.

"No, I'm going to be sucked dry by you!"

Lin Jiangnian's face was a little pale, and his whole body was very weak and weak.

There really isn’t a drop left!

Most of the internal energy in the body was drained, and all of it was input into Liu Su's body.

However, he was relieved when he saw that Liu Su's complexion seemed to be better and his breathing had become much calmer. His life was no longer in danger.

"I used up all my inner strength to save your life, and you can't justify it if you don't agree with me..."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Liu Su on the bed, and then suddenly a wave of dizziness came over him. He staggered and fell down next to him.

"No, I'm dizzy, I need to take a rest!"

Lin Jiangnian was drowsy and closed his eyes.

There was silence in the room.

Until the oil lamp on the table burned out. The room fell into darkness.

I don't know how long it took, but on the bed, with the influx of Lin Jiangnian's internal energy, Liu Su's originally fair face gained a hint of life.

After a long time, Liu Su slowly opened his eyes.

The moment I opened my eyes, I felt a little dazed and confused.

This is where?

where is she?

His thoughts were momentarily dazed, and then memories quickly came to mind.

She remembered...tonight, she went to assassinate Lin Hengzhong!

Liu Su's eyes narrowed.

In order to assassinate Lin Hengzhong, she had been planning for more than half a year. She finally got a chance to get close to him and secretly poisoned him!

Who would have expected...

Still failed!

Liu Su's eyes dimmed.

She underestimated Lin Hengzhong's terrifying strength.

Even though she had been poisoned and Lin Hengzhong's martial arts strength was greatly reduced, she still couldn't kill him...

But she was hit hard by Lin Heng and was seriously injured!

Then...where is this?

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Liu Su suddenly became alert.

Is there anyone next to me? !

The next second, Liu Su suddenly sat up from the bed.

"snort……"

Severe pain hit her chest, and her delicate face was full of pain. However, Liu Su didn't care so much. She covered her chest and suddenly turned her head to look to the side.

Liu Su was slightly startled when she saw the person lying next to her.

Lin, Lin Jiangnian? !

Beside her, Lin Jiangnian was lying next to him in an extremely inelegant posture, sleeping soundly.

When she saw it was Lin Jiangnian, Liu Suxiang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

But then, something came to mind.

Why is he here?

This is...

Liu Su lowered her eyes, and then gradually remembered what happened before... She failed to assassinate King Lin, and faced an overwhelming pursuit by the guards in the palace. She was seriously injured and unable to escape.

In desperation, he subconsciously hid here with Lin Jiangnian.

This is the room of Prince Lin, and it is also the safest place!

only……

Isn't she hiding behind the bookshelf?

Why is it on the bed?

Why was Lin Jiangnian sleeping next to her?

She stared at the sleeping Lin Jiangnian next to her. When she saw his pale and weak face, she suddenly realized something.

She closed her eyes and felt the changes inside her body.

Previously, she was seriously injured by Lin Hengzhong's palm from the air, which caused the internal energy in her body to become disordered and almost killed her.

But now, the internal energy in her body is not only gradually calming down. Even the serious internal injuries seemed to be getting better.

At the same time, there was another stream of Zhiyang Qi slowly flowing inside her body.

This is……

Liu Su suddenly turned her head and stared at Lin Jiangnian.

Xuanyang mind method?

It's him?

Did he use his inner strength to save himself?

Liu Su's eyes were stunned and extremely surprised.

In the darkness, she stared at Lin Jiangnian's face for a long time, until her chest suddenly felt tight, she coughed, and her expression changed slightly.

Her injuries were still serious.

Liu Su had to calm down, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to exercise and adjust her breath.

Just as soon as he started exercising, the intense pain emerged in his body.

"puff……"

Liu Su's face turned pale, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and her delicate body staggered and fell down.

Blood stained the bed red and also fell on Lin Jiangnian's body.

Lin Jiangnian suddenly woke up from his sleep. He felt the warm water stains on his face and subconsciously touched it.

Blood?

Blood? !

Lin Jiangnian suddenly woke up and sat up suddenly. Then he realized something and looked at Liu Su aside, only to see that her face was pale and her delicate body was trembling slightly.

"you're awake?!"

Lin Jiangnian saw her appearance and frowned: "Is the injury serious?"

"medicine……"

Liu Su threw herself on the bed, her voice weak and a little painful, and her pretty brows furrowed.

"What medicine?"

"I, I have medicine in my arms..."

Liu Su clenched her silver teeth, and there was even a trace of sweat on her pale face, obviously in extreme pain.

Only then did Lin Jiangnian react and subconsciously touched it.

But he stopped halfway when his hand reached out. He looked down and saw the bright red blood on Liu Su's mouth, which was shocking.

"Hurry, hurry up..."

The voice was extremely weak, with no strength left.

Lin Jiangnian didn't care too much at the moment, and immediately reached into Liu Su's arms, groped around, and found a small porcelain bottle from the soft and warm place.

"this?"

"Hey, feed me!"

Liu Su's voice was weak.

Lin Jiangnian poured two pills from the porcelain bottle and helped her up. Liu Su had no strength left in her body at this moment. When the severe pain from the internal injuries in her body made her miserable, her delicate body shrank in Lin Jiangnian's arms, trembling slightly.

Lin Jiangnian held her with one hand and put the pill to her mouth with the other hand. Seeing that Liu Su was weak, he tried to stuff the pill into her mouth.

The pill enters the mouth, gradually dissolves in the mouth, and is swallowed.

Liu Su closed her eyes and felt the cooling effect of the medicine gradually enter her body.

"Are you OK?"

Lin Jiangnian looked down at Liu Su in his arms. She looked so weak, as if she might die at any time.

He's not really dead, is he?

Liu Su didn't speak, she had no strength at all. With his eyes closed, he just leaned in Lin Jiangnian's arms, motionless.

It wasn't until a long time later that he finally opened his eyes slightly. The pale face recovered a little, and the painful brow slowly relaxed.

Clearly, the drug was working.

And Liu Sucai noticed that she was still held in Lin Jiangnian's arms, as if she remembered what happened just now, and looked a little unnatural.

"Let me lie down!"

The voice was soft and trembling. I don't know if it's pain or shyness.

Lin Jiangnian saw this and slowly helped her lie down. Liu Su lay on the bed and closed her eyes again.

She is so tired!

Right now I just want to lie down and have a good rest.

Seeing Liu Su lying down, Lin Jiangnian became more energetic.

He looked down at himself and noticed that there was a lot of blood on his body.

It looked shocking.

Lin Jiangnian frowned, stood up and came to the side, took off the bloody clothes on his body, wiped them casually, and put on something clean from the side.

Then he turned around and came to the door, opened it and went out.

In the room, Liu Su was lying on the bed when she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

Her heart skipped a beat!

What is he going to do?

What was he doing out so late?

Liu Su suddenly opened his eyes.

She assassinated Lin Hengzhong tonight and is already the number one assassin captured by Prince Lin!

And he would protect an assassin like himself? Staying here might even implicate him.

And hasn't he always wanted to get rid of himself?

Isn't tonight a good opportunity?

Thinking of this, some emotion seemed to flash through Liu Su's eyes.

She was seriously injured and had no power to resist. As soon as the palace guards arrived, she would definitely die.

Thinking of this, Liu Su's heart trembled.

If that's the case... then that's all!

As if thinking of something, Liu Su's eyes gradually dimmed.

The assassination of King Lin failed this time, and her efforts of more than half a year were in vain. Not only that, but it also wasted a lot of resources of the Celestial Sect.

Perhaps, only by dying can one apologize and be freed?

After a while, there was a knock on the door again.

Liu Su, who was lying on the bed, heard the sound in a daze, and her heart gradually became calmer.

Be prepared to accept everything calmly!

Are you coming?

Die?

Maybe it’s not terrible!

She has no worries in this world, except...

As if thinking of something, Liu Su trembled slightly, but then she became calm again.

However, when the door opened, there was only the sound of footsteps.

The door was closed and locked, and the footsteps gradually approached.

Liu Su was a little suspicious and subconsciously opened her eyes.

In the room, the oil lamp was relit.

Lin Jiangnian's figure appeared in Liu Su's sight. He was walking to the bed, and he was... holding a basin of water?

A basin of hot water.

Liu Xu's eyes were a little dull, and she looked at Lin Jiangnian, and then at the water in his hand.

Somewhat puzzled.

"You just vomited a lot of blood, do you want to wipe it?"

Liu Su's eyes were still blank and she didn't speak.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Lin Jiangnian didn't care so much and put the hot water aside.

"When you can move yourself, wipe it."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the bed and felt a little distressed at the blood-stained sheets.

This is his bed!

The bedding and sheets on this bed are all silk, woven with gold thread, and gold is very valuable.

Liu Su still didn't speak.

Feeling the effect of the medicine in the body gradually taking effect, the original severe pain gradually dissipated, and the body also regained some strength.

She slowly sat up from the bed, lowered her head, and indeed saw blood all over herself.

However, she didn't want to wash up at this time. Instead, he sat up cross-legged again, closed his eyes and began to try exercises to heal the injury.

When Lin Jiangnian saw this, he didn't bother him.

He glanced at her up and down, then shook his head gently: "I saved your life this time, remember, you owe me a life!"

Liu Su's delicate body seemed to be slightly startled after being healed by Zhengyun Gong, and then returned to normal.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight slowly shone into the room, Liu Su opened her eyes, and a look of fear flashed across her eyes.

Lin Hengzhong is indeed the top master in the world!

If he were at his peak strength, she might not even be able to escape last night.

Even so, she was still seriously injured internally. However, fortunately, my life was saved!

After a night of healing, her injuries recovered somewhat.

"Grandmaster?" Liu Su's eyes flashed with fear.

After all, she underestimated Lin Hengzhong and overestimated herself!

He calmed down and looked around.

It was already dawn outside, and Lin Jiangnian was no longer in the room.

Where did he go?

Liu Su lowered her eyes and felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw the blood stains on her body.

When I got up, I saw the copper basin placed next to the bed. It contained the water that Lin Jiangnian brought last night, and there was a towel beside it.

Liu Su stepped forward slowly, dipped a towel in water, and wiped the blood on her face and body. After a while, the clear water was dyed red. Liu Su looked down at the red dress on her body and frowned slightly.

There was a lot of blood on the skirt, and there was a bloody smell all over her body. But at this time, I couldn't care about this anymore.

She was still in a daze as she recalled what happened last night in her mind.

At this moment, there was another sound of opening the door. Liu Su raised her eyes and saw Lin Jiangnian opening the door and walking in.

"Hey, are you awake?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at her, "How is your health?"

Liu Su was silent for a moment and shook his head: "Nothing's wrong!"

"Since there's nothing wrong, that's good!"

Lin Jiangnian closed the door behind his back, sat down at the table next to him, and stared at her with a half-smile: "In that case, we should be able to talk about it now..."

"Why did you want to assassinate King Lin?"

Liu Su looked indifferently, remained silent for a moment, and shook his head gently.

"What does shaking your head mean?"

"I do not want to say."

"..."

Lin Jiang was happy when he heard this!

"You probably haven't figured out the current situation yet, right? Now, you're in my hands!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at Liu Su in front of him. She was seriously injured and was in Prince Lin's Mansion.

Internal and external troubles!

Now the initiative rests entirely with Lin Jiangnian.

"If the guards outside knew you were hiding here, do you think you would still be alive?"

Liu Su looked at Lin Jiangnian quietly: "In that case, why don't you do this?"

Lin Jiangnian was startled: "What?"

"Why didn't you hand me over last night?"

Liu Su walked up to Lin Jiangnian, sat down, and stared at him calmly.

Is she rebelling against the general?

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes: "You really want me to hand you over?"

"I'm just a little curious."

Liu Su looked back and said calmly: "If you handed me over last night, or...killed me!"

"You can escape my control, and no one can threaten you anymore... Why don't you do it?"

She stared at Lin Jiangnian's face, as if she wanted to see something on his face. My mind recalled what happened last night for no reason, and I felt a little dazed.

Lin Jiangnian was startled and said thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense..."

"Then if I kill you now, is it still too late?"

Lin Jiangnian stared at her with a half-smile.

Unexpectedly, Liu Su nodded calmly: "There's enough time."

"I am no match for you now... If you want to kill me, it will be easy."

Lin Jiangnian was stunned, as if he didn't expect her reaction, and narrowed his eyes: "Aren't you afraid that I will really kill you?"

Liu Su looked at him: "Can you do it?"

"meeting!"

Lin Jiangnian gradually put away the smile on his face, stared at her, and said calmly: "From the first day you forced me to enter Prince Lin's Mansion, I have been thinking about how to get rid of you!"

Liu Su was not surprised, she had expected this.

"In that case, if you have the opportunity now, why don't you take action?"

"I said it was because of my pity that you were so beautiful. It's a pity that you died like this... Do you believe it or not?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "So, I am planning to kill you after I get tired of playing with you... You are seriously injured now, you shouldn't be able to resist, right?"

Liu Su was startled, and a hint of shame and anger appeared on his already pale face. But when he saw Lin Jiangnian's eyes, he was startled again.

There was no smile on Lin Jiangnian's face. Just stared at her, expressionless.

"Antidote!"

After a moment of silent confrontation, Lin Jiangnian stared at Liu Su in front of him and suddenly stretched out a hand: "The antidote to the love poison!"

"Give me!"

"..."

at the same time.

Inside Prince Lin's Mansion.

In the courtyard, several figures were kneeling.

"My subordinates have searched inside and outside the palace several times, but still can't find any trace of the assassin... It seems that the assassin has escaped from the palace. I am incompetent. Please forgive me!"

Zheng Zhiming knelt on one knee and lowered his head.

There was silence.

Lin Hengzhong, wearing a gray and white robe, stood under the eaves, looking at the people in the courtyard expressionlessly.

In such a huge palace, no assassin could be found? If this spreads out, wouldn't Prince Lin's Mansion be disgraced?

"How can a little assassin escape from under your nose?"

Lin Hengzhong's eyes were slightly cold: "The palace is heavily guarded, can the assassin still fly away?!"

Several people present looked pale and did not dare to breathe.

If you can't even catch an assassin in one night, what's the use of the prince raising them?

Lin Hengzhong looked at the people expressionlessly: "Has the entire palace been searched?"

"yes!"

Zheng Zhiming lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "My subordinates sent people to search the entire palace last night, even the back mountain, but the whereabouts of the assassin were not found!"

Last night, almost all the guards from the palace came out and searched the entire palace, but still no trace of the assassin was found.

The assassin seemed to have disappeared from the world!

Damn it!

After pondering for a moment, Lin Hengzhong said expressionlessly: "Continue the search, mobilize all the troops in the city to search, and catch the assassin at all costs..."

Speaking of this, Lin Hengzhong's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "I would like to see whose power dares to penetrate into my palace!"

An assassin is not worth mentioning in his eyes.

But this assassin was able to sneak into Prince Lin's palace and poison him silently. This shows that this traitor may have infiltrated among our own people!

If instead of drugging him last night, Lin Jiangnian was given the medicine... Realizing this, Lin Hengzhong instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

His eyes immediately became more fierce and gloomy.

"yes!"

Zheng Zhiming lowered his head and spoke respectfully. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he seemed to think of something again and was thoughtful.

"Your Majesty..."

Zheng Zhiming was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "My subordinates remembered that there is still a place in the palace that has not been searched..."

"Where?" Lin Hengzhong asked expressionlessly.

Zheng Zhiming hesitated and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness..."
