ll bring you back!""Dear elder brother, for the sake of Ximing nation's mountains and rivers, let alone attending your birthday banquet, even if it means my younger brother facing a mountain of knives..."Little girl…" Shangguan Jinghong's face was extremely complex, and the guilt in his heart almost overwhelmed him.
Even though Xi'er wasn't killed by him, she was still deeply connected to the incident. If she found out, how would he ever face her
"It's all of you! It's all of you who killed Xi'er! All of you go to hell! Gu Yueqin!" After a heart-wrenching scream, Su Qingying's cold eyes swept across the surrounding assassins in black. Her gaze was filled with murderous intent, unrestrained and fierce, like the arrival of death itself.
As soon as she spoke, the Gu Yueqin seemed to come alive. It spun and flew out of the dilapidated carriage, landing securely in Su Qingying's arms. Each crystal-clear string vibrated incessantly, as if resonating with its owner!
Having entrusted Yexi's body to Mo Xuan, Su Qingying cradled the ancient zither in her arms and secretly pondered its most profound technique. Her fingers flew across the strings, her internal energy surging to its peak!
Zing zing zing——
Waves of sound, more powerful and terrifying than ever before, shot out in layers, piercing through the swords wielded by the assassins standing before him. They were cut in half, alive!
Su Qingying moved with light, agile steps, gracefully weaving through the crowd of black-clad assassins. She was like a scythe, swiftly reaping their lives. Many couldn't even react before they fell to her blade.
"Master's skill feels several times stronger than before! So powerful!" Overwhelmed with sadness, Xuan Yuan Rong Fei was deeply shocked.
This is the true power of Gu Yueqin!
"Ying'er, stop quickly! Your internal energy is chaotic. If you continue using the ancient Moon Harp's highest heart method with such force, you will be backlashed and suffer internal injuries!" Jun Liye leaped forward with light kung fu, his handsome brows furrowed in concern as he stopped her from playing any further.
While this could amplify the power of Gu Yueqin, it was extremely harmful to her own body.
"Get out of my way! I'm going to avenge Xi'er!" At this moment, how could Su Qingying possibly listen to her words She was determined to kill them all, using their blood to appease Xi'er's spirit in the heavens.
"Retreat! Fall back quickly! Her playing is too powerful, we're no match for her, hurry back and report to the master." The black-clad assassins were extremely wary of Su Qingying. Especially her ghostly movements, bloodthirsty ruthlessness, and swift killing that had taken hundreds of them in an instant, truly making them tremble with fear.
As Junli's night guards blocked her path, the assassins in black quickly retreated, not daring to engage in battle.
"Don't go! All of you come back to me... Pfft!" Seeing them about to leave, Su Qingying was suddenly furious. Just as she was about to chase after them, the true qi within her body stagnated, and she forcefully spat out a mouthful of blood.
His eyes went dark and he fainted.
"Ying'er!" Jun Liye's heart was filled with urgency, tightly holding her body in his arms.
"Look, Master is bleeding so much!" Xuan Yuan Rong Fei, who came right after, pointed at Su Qing Ying's skirt where blood was gushing out, and anxiously exclaimed.
Jun Li's heart tightened, and a wave of intense fear washed over her. "Jing Hong, get several swift horses! We need to gallop to the nearest inn as fast as we can!" she urged.
"Alright, I'll go right away." Shangguan Jinghong didn't dare to delay. He quickly led a fine steed over, "Hei Xin Ye, quickly carry the little girl onto the horse!"
"On!" Jun Liye held Su Qingying onto the horse, riding with her on the same steed, eagerly rushing her towards the nearest inn and medical hall.
"Rong Fei, give me your hand, let's follow!" Shangguan Jinghong sat on his horse and reached out to Xuanyuan Rong Fei.
"And what about Xier" Xuanyuan Rongfei was pulled onto the horse by him. She looked at Mo Xuan and Xier with worry, hesitatingly said.

Mo Xuan shook his head, tightly clutching Xi'er's corpse in his arms, his voice hoarse: "Your Highness, you should leave first. Please inform the master and the Fifth Princess on my behalf. I will bury Xi'er properly and then rush over to meet with them."
"Alright, be careful yourself, ride!" With that, he raised his reins and hurried after Jun Liye.
After running for dozens of miles, Jun Liye and the others finally arrived at an inn covered in dust and sweat as dawn broke.
"Doctor, how is my master" Xuan Yuan Rong Fei stared at the woman on the bed whose face was almost as pale as death. She was so anxious she was like an ant on a hot pot, unable to contain her worry and interrupting the doctor's diagnosis.
After a long time, the doctor withdrew his hand from feeling her pulse and shook his head helplessly. He sighed softly: "Alas, her emotions are too intense, causing a great disturbance in the fetal energy. This child, I'm afraid, cannot be saved."
"What did you say Birth Qi" Upon hearing this, Jun Li Ye Xuan Yu Rong Fei Fei were all stunned, their hearts pounding, they looked incredulously at the old man.
So, the blood flowing down her leg was...
The doctor was taken aback, then his face darkened, his voice becoming serious. He angrily rebuked, "How Don't you know this young lady is pregnant This is too careless! She's over a month pregnant, and you don't even know how to take good care of her, it's too chaotic!"
Jun Liye pursed her lips tightly, her expression pained. Her clenched fists tightened and loosened repeatedly, her nails digging deep into her flesh.
His children, the children he had with Ying'er, hadn't even been born before they died like this. If Ying'er knew, he couldn't even imagine how heartbroken and sorrowful she would be.
"Doctor, about when will my master be able to wake up" Xuan Yuan Rongfei couldn't help but shed silent tears, truly feeling heartache for her.
First, the loss of her father, then her beloved maid who was like a sister to her, and now an unborn child. One after another, these tragedies have been so cruel to her! Why does fate always torture her like this!
"Alas, she just miscarried. Her body is weak right now. I'll write a prescription for her to replenish blood and qi. You should follow the prescription and make a decoction for her to drink. She will wake up soon." The old doctor sighed again, shook his head, and walked straight to the desk. He picked up a pen and quickly wrote a series of medicinal names on a yellowed piece of paper.
A short while later, the doctor quickly wrote out a prescription and handed it to Xuan Yuan Rongfei. "Here, this is the prescription."
"Well, thank you, Doctor," Xuan Yuan Rong Fei hastily took the prescription and nodded gratefully.
"Remember, don't let her be stimulated again, or she might fall seriously ill." Packing up his medical kit, the doctor was still uneasy and warned repeatedly.
"Good, we remembered, doctor. Here is your consultation fee," said Xuan Yuan Rong Fei as she sent the doctor out the door, handing him a silver ingot.
"Ying'er, I'm sorry. It's my incompetence that has led to the loss of our child. I'm so sorry." After the doctor left, Jun Liye slumped onto Su Qingying's bedside, burying his face in his hands as if tears were shimmering within.
Although he was the regent king who could turn things upside down with a flick of his hand, he couldn't even protect his own wife and children. What face did he have to show her
Seeing him like this, Shangguan Jinghong's heart was filled with a sense of discomfort. The heavy feeling of guilt almost made him suffocate. After a long silence, he said guiltily: "Hei Xin Ye, I'm sorry, it's my fault..."
"Jīnghōng, what are you talking about These assassins weren't sent by you. No one could have predicted this would happen. Why are you feeling guilty" Xuanyuan Róngfēi was puzzled and didn't understand how this had anything to do with him.He thought that after a period of time apart, the affection he harbored for her would gradually fade. But upon seeing her today, he realized that she had already taken deep root in his heart. His feel...
