However, Bai Yi stayed behind. He walked up to Ye Siming and asked worriedly, “The princess said that you’re injured. Are you alright?”

Ye Siming shook his head with a calm and cold expression. “It’s fine. They’re not enough to put up a fight.”

“Where did you get hurt? Let me take a look.”

Ye Siming turned to look at Bai Yi as if waiting for him to discover the location of the wound.

Bai Yi looked around for a long time before he saw the thin scar on Ye Siming’s cheek clearly with the help of the torch in his hand.

At this moment, there was no longer any blood seeping out. If one didn’t take a closer look, they really wouldn’t be able to see it.

Bai Yi turned around and looked at the assassins lying on the ground. Some of them had bone injuries, while others had clearly been shot in the heart.

It looked like the fight was very intense.

When Bai Yi came over and saw this, he was shocked.

Although Ye Siming was agile, he was still a child after all. Furthermore, he had to protect the princess.

When the princess said that Ye Siming was injured, Bai Yi thought that he had been slashed somewhere.

Unexpectedly, there was only a thin wound!

If he had seen it any later, the wound would probably have healed.

Bai Yi had been to the battlefield and was a general who did not care about trifles. He naturally felt that there was no need to take this injury to heart.

He patted Ye Siming’s shoulder. “Come, let’s go back and apply some medicine for you. It should be gone by tomorrow…”

However, Ye Siming said, “Wait.”

He turned around and approached the bushes behind him. Not long later, he came out with two pheasants.

“We can leave now.” As he spoke, he walked in front.

Bai Yi stood on the spot in a daze and watched for a while.

It turned out that he hunted first and then killed later. Before he left, he didn’t forget to take two pheasants with him when he left?

Chunshou brought the imperial guards to search the dead bodies before reporting back to Gu Yihan.

At that moment, Gu Yihan and Noble Consort Qiao were carrying Gu Nuo’er on both sides. Noble Consort Qiao’s heart ached a lot, feeling that her daughter had been frightened.

She gently comforted Gu Nuo’er and used the little fabric tiger to make her happy.

Gu Nuo’er also seemed to have forgotten what had just happened. She was amused by her mother and giggled from time to time.

Gu Yihan saw that Chunshou had come to report. He didn’t want the child to hear this and cause fear.

Therefore, he got off the carriage and asked coldly, “Did you find anything?”

“The assassins’ bodies are very clean. There’s only a letter that seems to have been arranged by the employer to meet at a place. It also describes the princess’s appearance and characteristics. It seems that this isn’t a coincidence but is an attempt targeted directly at the princess.”

Gu Yihan’s cold eyes surged with anger.

“Those assassins are all dead? Are any of them alive?”

Chunshou was a little hesitant.

Ye Siming was too ruthless!

Those few arrows were shot at critical positions and those people had long bled to death!

However, there was indeed one who was still alive.

However, his injuries were very strange.

Chunshou said truthfully, “There’s an assassin who ate flower mushrooms. It looks like he was poisoned by it, but he still has some breath left. I don’t know if he can be saved. Perhaps we can interrogate him when he wakes up.”

Gu Yihan sneered. “Then save him first. After the interrogation, cut him alive. Also, take this letter to the imperial study to compare the handwriting and see if it belongs to Vice Minister Xue.”

“Yes!” Chunshou received the order and left.

Gu Nuo’er lay in her mother’s arms and played with the fabric tiger. However, she actually had her ears pricked up to eavesdrop on her father and Chunshou’s conversation.

As long as she could bring the bad Uncle Xue to justice and protect Elder Brother Siming’s identity from being discovered, she would be relieved!
