Feng Changqing’s lips were already pale, but he still maintained his consciousness . Once he saw Su Xi-er, he called out, “Eldest Imperial Princess . ”
“Don’t talk right now, let me check your wound . ” Su Xi-er knelt in front of him and rolled his sleeve up . Fortunately, the blood from this sword wound is a normal bright red . As long as he hasn’t been poisoned, it will be a simple matter to clean and bandage the wound with some medicine .
Su Xi-er walked towards the cupboard and took out the Lingrui flower powder . Of course, I will still need to stop his bleeding; otherwise, he will faint .

She took the brown coloured bottle and walked to Feng Changqing, opening up the bottle as she poured the powder inside onto his wound . It was only a short time after that his wound stopped bleeding .
“Once the hot water is here, we will clean the wound and apply some more flower powder before bandaging . Feng Changqing, did you go to the Compassionate Peace Palace?” Su Xi-er got up and asked him as she took out the medicinal herbs . She poured some cold water into the teapot, washed the herbs, and passed them to Feng Changqing . “Keep them in your mouth . ”
Feng Changqing put the herbs into his mouth and kept them under his tongue . He could taste the mild flavour of herbs spread throughout his mouth, bringing along a revitalising feeling with it .
“When this subordinate returned to the Prince Hao Residence, I saw a guard rushing back to the imperial palace on horseback . Thinking that something might have happened to you, I followed him . After that, I heard people gossiping that a maidservant from the Palace Side Quarters was taken by the Empress Dowager to the Compassionate Peace Palace . This subordinate then hid in one of the huts in the backyard of the Compassionate Peace Palace, but I didn’t expect to find a man dressed in black . ”

At this moment, Feng Changqing stopped and became more serious . “He had a large stature, and was covered from head to toe in black robes . Most importantly, he knows how to shoot the Heart-Penetrating arrow . ”
“Did you see what he looks like?”
Feng Changqing shook his head . “I didn’t . He was also wearing a veil like this subordinate . This subordinate could tell that he was very skilful after fighting with him . Each of his moves were ferocious, filled with enough force to kill . He was the one who broke both the arm and leg tendons of the guard from the Compassionate Peace Palace . ”

Su Xi-er’s expression became solemn . “I have met this person before, but similar to now, he wore a black veil to hide his identity, so I don’t know if he’s a friend or a foe . The only thing I am sure of is that he knows the Third Imperial Prince . That being said, the two of them are definitely not friends . ”
Feng Changqing’s brows were tightly knitted . At last, he cautioned, “With how familiar he is with the geography of the Compassionate Peace Palace, he must have hidden in there for a long time . He also intended to shoot you with that arrow, implying that he and the Empress Dowager may know one another . You should be careful while you’re in the palace in the future . ”
Su Xi-er nodded . “I would be foolish to not be more cautious after having this person appear before me twice . In any case, you should return to the Prince Hao Residence after I bandage your wound; otherwise, Prince Hao will become suspicious if he finds you missing . ”
“This subordinate obeys the order . ”
At this moment, Hong Li entered the room with a basin of hot water and a handkerchief . When he saw the long and narrow eyes of Feng Changqing, Hong Li was stunned . This man’s eyes are so beautiful!
Feng Changqing could see the envy in her eyes . However, his expression softened when he realised that she had saved his life . “Many thanks for saving me, Miss . ”
“Then will you clean the wound yourself, or do you want me to clean it for you?” Hong Li wet the handkerchief and wrung it dry while asking .
