The wind suddenly started blowing, and the sound was very loud, which made people feel nervous. And it was already summer, but the wind actually made people feel cold, even to the bone.

Yan Mu stood upright and looked quietly at the emperor a few steps away.

This man was his father. Although he had no feelings for him, he still felt sad for no reason.

The emperor's eyes sharpened, and he raised his hand, and was about to lower it when a fight suddenly broke out outside. Soon the archers on the east and west walls were also pulled down and killed one by one.

There were many people coming, all dressed in coarse cloth, with red masks on their faces, and holding machetes in their hands. Some of them jumped off the wall, and some broke in through the courtyard gate. The emperor was shocked and quickly called the guards to escort them.

, but most of the guards were blocked outside, and there were only a few in the courtyard.

These people were not very skilled in martial arts, but they were better in numbers. They quickly surrounded the emperor, while the guards around him were outnumbered and fell one after another.

The broadsword was waved in front of his eyes, blood splattered everywhere, and the emperor turned pale with fright, shouting: "Come quickly! Protect me! Protect me!"

But no guards came, and he saw a machete coming towards him. In his shock, a man suddenly jumped in and protected him behind him. At the same time, he caught the knife with his bare hands, then kicked the killer to the ground with a flying kick.

On the ground.

The emperor was greatly frightened. Looking at the person in front of him, it was not Yan Mu.

"Lao Qi... you..."

He just wanted to kill him!

"Father, be careful!"

Yan Mu turned around and got entangled with a killer. At this time, another killer came towards the emperor with a machete. He couldn't get away for a while, so he could only hit the emperor and took the knife himself.

The knife struck the shoulder, and the blood immediately stained the front and back. However, he did not panic because of this. He snatched the beheaded head of the killer in front of him and killed both of them at once.

He took the emperor's arm and led him to cut a path and rush towards the front yard.

Along the way, the killers swarmed in, almost forming a human wall, but he waved his machete and broke through layer by layer. The emperor was so shocked that he was at a loss. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed Yan Mu's sleeves. At this moment, he could only rely on

This son he never cared about.

Fortunately, the Imperial Guards arrived and quickly took control of the situation.

Yan Mu let go of the emperor's hand and took two steps back, "Father, are you not injured?"

The emperor was shocked and shook his head, "No."

Yan Mu nodded, swayed a few times, and then fell to the ground and passed out.

The emperor looked at Yan Mu, who was covered in wounds from saving him. He didn't need to do anything at this time. He just had to ignore him and let him lie here for an hour or two, and the blood would be gone.

The leader of the imperial guards came forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I failed to protect your majesty and caused your majesty to be frightened. Your crime deserves death."

The emperor snorted coldly, "You really deserve to die!"

There are so many killers sneaking into the city, and they also know that he will leave the palace tonight, so it is better to ambush him early. It can be seen that he has already been surrounded by the enemy's informants. And the Imperial Guards are slow to react. If it were not for Yan Mu, he would have been killed by these killers at this moment.

.

"But let me ask clearly, who are these killers?"

The Imperial Guard lowered his head, as if he did not dare to speak for a moment.

"Hurry up and tell me!"

"Yes, it's the Red Face Army."

There were riots in the south two years ago, and various small forces sprang up. One of them was the Red Face Army, and many of the people in it were local farmers.

He put Shangguan Xu in charge of wiping out the remaining forces in the south. He also told him that the rebellion in the south had been completely suppressed, which made him feel at ease. But the red-faced army was still there, and they even reached Shengjing and killed him in front of him.

The emperor shouted angrily, "Let Shangguan Xu enter the palace immediately. I will question him face to face!"

"Yes." The leader of the Imperial Guard was about to stand up when he saw the Seventh Highness who was still unconscious on the ground, "Your Majesty, these Seventh Highness..."

Should I still kill him?

The emperor looked at Yan Mu, thinking that just now he tried hard to protect himself, saying 'Father, Emperor', and he looked so sincere. He must have really lost his memory. Then he thought about how few people around him could be trusted, and now even Shangguan

If Xu is so useless at everything, who can he use in the future?

"Send it back to the palace and let the imperial doctor go over and treat His Majesty the Seventh Prince's injuries."

After Liu Yunxiang coaxed the two children to sleep, she waited in the courtyard. It was after midnight that there was any movement in the front yard. When she learned that Yan Mu was injured, she hurried over and saw the imperial guards carrying him in.

.

At a glance, she saw that his entire upper body was soaked in blood, and he had fainted, and his body couldn't help but sway.

"What's going on?"

A guard explained that assassins had entered Foguang Temple tonight, His Highness Seventh Prince was injured while protecting the emperor, and the imperial doctor was on his way.

Liu Yunxiang's mind was a little confused for a moment, "Please send His Highness to the backyard first."

After arranging for them to send Yan Mu to Liuyue Pavilion, Liu Yunxiang asked Jin Yan to use money to manage the imperial guards. At this time, the imperial doctor came, and it was Zhou Lihuai, whom he had not seen for more than three years.

"I just heard that Lao Qi came back alive, but why did he get injured again in the blink of an eye?" Zhou Lihuai said as he entered the house. He first saw the blood on Yan Mu's body and shouted, "Are you still alive?"

Liu Yunxiang glared at Zhou Lihuai, "You can shut up if you don't know how to speak."

"I was so excited to see Lao Qi."

When Zhou Lihuai said this, he didn't stop moving. He had already cut open Yan Mu's clothes with scissors and started to clean the wounds.

"It's a stab wound, it's quite deep and the bones are broken. You need to take good care of it."

"Why are there so many old scars on his body? They must have been left when he was in Beijin. He must have suffered a lot."

"Hey, my brother couldn't help him, so I feel very sad."

Zhou Lihuai kept talking nonstop and choked up after he finished speaking.

"I really thought Lao Qi was dead, so I burned a lot of paper for him towards the north."

Liu Yunxiang felt quite uncomfortable listening to this. Among the seven brothers, the beggar was the closest to Zhou Lihuai and Yan Mu. The beggar had his own purpose, but in the end he lost his life for Yan Mu. Zhou Lihuai really had no purpose, but he was too weak.

He's just an imperial doctor and can't help Yan Mu much.

The more Zhou Lihuai talked, the more uncomfortable he became, and tears fell down, all hitting Yan Mu's face.

"Can you...ahem...don't hit me with your tears..."

This voice was weak, but clearly filled with anger.

"Ah, Lao Qi, you're awake!" Zhou Lihuai was overjoyed.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly stepped forward and saw that Yan Mu really woke up. He was greatly relieved and said, "Mr. Zhou, thank you."

Zhou Lihuai smiled and wiped away his tears, then wrapped the wound with fine cloth, "Thank you for nothing, my brother. But apart from the stab wound on his shoulder, I found that his body was also severely deficient. I will make a prescription and follow this prescription."

I need to take good care of my child for at least three months. Although it is just a deficiency of blood and qi, it cannot be ignored."

Zhou Lihuai left behind a prescription and a bottle of blood-enhancing ginseng pills. Seeing that Yan Mu was no longer in danger, he left.

"Girl, before Dr. Zhou left, he told His Highness to take a blood-enhancing ginseng pill first. Do you want to take it now?" Jin Yan said and took over the bottle of ginseng pills left by Zhou Lihuai.

Liu Yunxiang took it, poured one into her hand, and was about to put it in Yan Mu's mouth, when she thought of something, she took her hand back.

"Jinyan, take this ginseng and test its poison."

"ah?"

"Go ahead."

Zhou Lihuai probably didn't have any bad intentions towards Yan Mu, but they had just returned to Beijing and were new to these people, so they had to be careful because they had different positions after all.

Jinyan took it and ran back in a hurry after a while, "Girl, I melted the ginseng pills into water and fed them to the hens in the outer yard. The hens were poisoned and died."

Liu Yunxiang stiffened and subconsciously looked at Yan Mu.
