An Xia saw the ashen look on Beiming Xiao's face, it was obvious that he had been poisoned.

The last time, he had already told the other party to change the formula, yet he was still poisoned. This was too incomprehensible.

No one noticed the astonishment on An Xia's face. Only Beiming Xiao lifted his head to look at her, as if he had felt her gaze.

However, the look he gave An Xia was very faint, and he quickly retracted his gaze.

It was only when the crown prince and Beiming Xiao had disappeared from the courtyard that Madam An pulled An Xia back. "Sister Xia, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing." An Xia shook her head and covered up her emotions before heading to the backyard with Madam An.

Before long, Old Mistress Wei, An Xia's grandmother, came out as well. She was extremely distressed for Madam An's only daughter and immediately arranged a residence for her, instructing her servants to go to the firehouse to cook.

In the general's manor, An Xia did not feel the slightest bit of pressure. Everyone was very easygoing, making her feel very comfortable.

The residence was in the southern courtyard. An Xia's room was next to Madam An's and was even guarded by a team of guards. It could be said that the room was airtight and not even a fly could fly in.

"Mother, why are there so many guards?" An Xia was somewhat unable to understand. This seemed to be making a big fuss out of nothing.

"Your grandfather doesn't want anything to happen to us at the general's estate." Madam An was also somewhat surprised, but she still consoled An Xia. She also understood that the crown prince wouldn't come to the general's estate so easily.

Right now, things are peaceful and flourishing. Old General Wei is useless here, and the military power in his hands has been withdrawn by the emperor for various reasons. Thus, the crown prince definitely didn't come to the general's estate to recruit power.

As for the reason, Madam An couldn't figure it out for a while.

At this moment, the old general, Wei Peng, and his grandson, Wei Siyuan, were sitting together in the study room.

"The crown prince will not let this go easily." Wei Siyuan was a very tall and sturdy man, but he was also a bit straightforward. "I will be guarding outside my cousin's room tonight."

"Does the Crown Prince really say that?" Wei Pengtang's expression turned even darker. "Too arrogant, too arrogant."

"Grandfather, be careful of your body." Wei Siyuan also said somewhat helplessly, "It's only because our Wei Family is short and the Crown Prince doesn't care. If... Your father is still alive, so things will definitely not be as they are today. "

The crown prince had come to the general's estate for no other reason than for Old General Wei to persuade Grand Preceptor An to cancel the engagement.

Wei Pengtang's expression turned even uglier as he waved his hand. After a long while, he said, "The crown prince wants to end the engagement. The Grand Preceptor's estate won't agree to it, and this old man won't help him either."

"The wedding is coming up. The Crown Prince might do something else." Wei Siyuan's face was also filled with worry. "Empress Dowager has the intention of destroying this engagement, so they're betting more on Grand Commandant Zhao."

"Damn it." Wei Pengtang gnashed his teeth in anger: "Don't even think about annulling the marriage. As long as this old man is alive, I definitely won't allow it."

Although the Wei family had lost their power, Wei Pengtang was an elder of the three dynasties after all, so the emperor had to give him some face.

It was also because of this that the Emperor had appointed An Xia as his Crown Prince's consort.

It was already deep into the night, but An Xia hadn't fallen asleep. She had long since smelled the poisonous gas in the air and was covering her nose as she quietly lied there. From the outside, An Xia seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Outside the window, a group of guards had been knocked down by the poison gas. Several men in black clothes arrived from the sky and landed lightly on the roof. One of them took off the roof tiles, revealing a bloodthirsty sneer.

An Xia clearly heard the sound of the tile being exposed.

She now understood why Old General Wei had sent so many guards to guard the courtyard. It seemed that the news of her coming to the General's Estate had spread.

It wasn't easy to make a move at the Grand Preceptor's estate, but the general's estate was different. Old General Wei was no longer the same person as before.

In the past, the Grand Preceptor's estate had an aunt Zhao, who didn't seem to need outsiders to make a move on them.

Now that Aunt Zhao had been chased away to the Manor, there really was no one who could do anything to her, An Xia.

However, right now, there was a simple and straightforward method — assassination.

An Xia clenched her fists as her heart was covered in cold sweat. Although she was motionless and appeared to be very calm while she was pretending to be asleep, she didn't feel reassured. After all, there were so many people here.

Even though she knew how to poison, she hadn't been able to concoct too many poisons to take with her recently.

The men in black on the roof were all ready to jump into the room, but before the man could jump into the room, a long sword came at them. A shadow descended from the sky, blocking their path.

The person didn't waste any time talking and immediately opened up a world of slaughter.

The two men in black quietly lay in the pool of blood and didn't stand up again.

For a time, the narrow room was filled with the shadows of swords. The men were fighting against eight of them, their movements were crisp and clean. Their target was clear – to kill these men in black, every strike was merciless.

An Xia, who was pretending to be asleep, felt uneasy. He listened outside and felt even weirder. These people actually didn't make a move. He turned his body and looked up under the moonlight for a while, but still couldn't see anything.

Wei Siyuan, who had always been worried, now walked out of his own courtyard. Seeing the crowd of people fighting in An Xia's room, he couldn't help but fly over.

He also didn't know who the people in the room were, so he didn't participate in the fight. Instead, he directly entered An Xia's room and shouted in a low voice, "Cousin, wake up."

When An Xia saw that it was Wei Siyuan, he didn't hesitate any longer. He put on his clothes and stood up, "What's the matter, Cousin?"

"Hurry, there's an assassin." Wei Siyuan only wanted to bring An Xia to a safe place and then come back to deal with these assassins. As he said this, he pulled An Xia and left.

The general's manor had already been targeted. Thus, for the sake of their safety, Wei Siyuan brought An Xia out of the manor.

"Where to?" An Xia, who was only wearing a shirt, was completely awake. When she came out, she even turned around to look at the black-clothed people in the room and understood why they didn't enter the room.

It was just that no one knew who was stopping this group of assassins.

He sneered in his heart, [This crown prince is also plotting to get rid of her, An Xia, while clenching his fists. Good, very good!]

"To the commander-in-chief's residence. He is my friend and will definitely take good care of you. Moreover, he just returned to the Imperial City and has no dealings with the Imperial Family." Wei Siyuan said as he pulled An Xia along the other side of the street.

In order to not attract the attention of those assassins, Wei Siyuan did not ride a horse.

The marshal's residence was not far from the general's residence. Once they arrived at the marshal's residence, they quickly knocked on the door. After finding out the purpose of Wei Siyuan's visit, the butler happily left Anfey behind and even arranged for him to stay in the marshal's study.

It was one of the safest places.

After arranging everything for An Xia, Wei Siyuan went straight back to the general's manor, not bothering to comfort everyone.

He only wanted to deal with the situation in the General's Estate before leaving with An Xia.

Sitting in the study room, An Xia was still holding the silver needles, and the sweat in his palms was cold. Taking a deep breath, he calmed down a lot.

He then thought about how his mother was still in the general's manor, and he hurriedly stood up.

Before she could even reach the door, a shadow flashed past and a long sword was placed against her neck. "Don't move."

An Xia froze. She didn't expect there to be assassins here. However, she immediately quieted down, because this was the commander-in-chief's mansion. This person definitely wasn't here for her.

"Big Brother, we can discuss about it if there's anything." An Xia didn't dare to move, but the silver needle in his hand tightened.

The light in the study room was very bright. An Xia slanted her eyes and saw that the person's body was covered in blood. After being stunned for a moment, she asked, "You're injured?" I know medicine, and I can treat it for you! "

She was also thinking of a way to escape.

He didn't go out today to look at the calendar and things didn't go well.

The person did not answer, his aura still as cold as before. The hand holding the sword did not move at all. After a long while, he asked, "Who are you?"

"I …" An Xia was about to speak, but the person interrupted him. "Since you know medicine, then help me bandage my wounds. Remember, don't play any tricks on me."

An Xia nodded. This person had lost a lot of blood. It was true that he needed to treat his wounds first.

"Move the sword away first. This will affect my ability to treat your wounds." An Xia had already calmed down. No matter who the other party was, she had to first stabilize him.

That person hesitated for a moment before placing the sword to the side. However, it was within his reach. "Hurry up."

"Yes." An Xia took a deep breath and looked around. "You should first lie on the bed behind the screen. Your wound is at your waist. It might be inconvenient for you to stand like this."

That person paused for a second, then picked up his sword again, pulling An Xia along behind the screen. "Who are you? Why is it here? "

"I …" For a moment, An Xia didn't know what to say. "I just have something to take care of. I'll leave as soon as the sun rises."

That person looked An Xia up and down again. His brows were knitted tightly, but he didn't say anything. He simply laid down on the low couch and placed his sword by his side.

An Xia's expression became serious as he skillfully opened his shirt, revealing the long knife wound on his abdomen. Blood was still flowing, and the color of blood had already turned black.

"You've been poisoned." An Xia took a glance and said, "I don't have a medical kit with me, so I can only deal with it briefly."

As he tore off his shirt, he began to stop the bleeding.

"Do you know how to cure poisons?" The man looked at An Xia, his face still expressionless.

"Yes." An Xia said after hesitating for a moment.

The man stopped talking. He gently closed his eyes, but didn't fall asleep.

Anxia used a silver needle to extract the poison from the man's body, and used the powder she brought with her to stop his bleeding. Then, she used his undershirt to bandage him up. "The wound is very deep. You still need to find a doctor to treat it for you."

The man's bones were very hard, and the wound was so deep that when she was treating it, he actually didn't make a sound.

After tidying up the bloodstains, An Xia glanced at the man again. "This is the commander-in-chief's residence. The person you want to assassinate might not be here. Furthermore, you're so heavily injured. You should leave today. Come back another day."

She did not want to be in the same place as someone like that. Furthermore, Wei Siyuan had just sent her here to seek refuge, and only the butler showed up. It was likely that even the lieutenant was not present, so she did not want to become this fellow's hostage.

I have to persuade him to leave.

"This is my home, where do you want me to go?" The person on the bed stood up and said coldly, "It's you. Who is it? "It's actually in my study?"
