Prince An stared blankly at Siao s.h.i.+, his handsome face went through phases of drastic change .

Grandmother Dong took out a row of silver needles from her medical box and slowly poked a few needles onto Siao s.h.i.+ . She then grabbed Siao s.h.i.+'s wrist, closing her eyes, concentrating on sensing the changes of her pulses .

Chu Li stared at Grandmother Dong .

Her few needles were pierced near Siao s.h.i.+'s heart meridian . After the placement of the needles, her acupuncture points quickly emitted forces like water from a mountain spring .

These forces gathered together to form a strange strength, stopping the destruction from the Heavenly Demon Energy, easing Siao s.h.i.+'s condition .

Chu Li was surprised as these forces that were out of nowhere did not come from Grandmother Dong but rather the acupuncture points from where the needles were placed . And yet they could stop the Heavenly Demon Energy . The wonder of the human body, was beyond him!

He has the Omniscient Mirror and could see the circulation of forces in and out of a human body . Grandmother Dong has this ability just through pulses . This sort of medical skill was amazing . If there was a chance, he would like to learn from her .

He had already remember this acupuncture point . He wanted to experiment with it after this . These few needles were miraculous and could be said a lifesaving technique .

"Ah . . . " Siao s.h.i.+ slowly opened her eyes .

Chu Li quickly responded, "Young lady!"

Siao s.h.i.+ saw that it was him, and nodded . She then looked around and frowned . Her voice was weak, "Is the a.s.sa.s.sin caught?"

Chu Li shook his head, "That person's technique is far too quick . He escaped!"

"Escaped . . . " Siao s.h.i.+ coughed . Her pale face was flushed red .

Grandmother Dong exclaimed, "Princess, you must not be in rage!"

Chu Li explained, "Young lady, you wounded your heart meridian . Your emotional state should not experience major changes . Relax, His Royal Highness will have someone catch him!"

Siao s.h.i.+ glanced at Prince An .

Prince An returned to his senses at this moment, He gave a gentle smile, "Relax, princess . I will avenge you . It doesn't matter where that fellow runs to, I will have him captured for you . "

Siao s.h.i.+ lifted her chin and dully replied, "I'm sorry to trouble Your Royal Highness . "

"Please rest well . " Prince An hatefully acclaimed, "What a lawless ruffian, I will not let him go!"

Chu Li mentioned, "Your Royal Highness, I am not at ease with the guards of the Imperial Residence . "

Prince An frowned, "They have done their best . This person's technique is simply too fast . "

Chu Li answered, "Because they have tried their best, therefore I am not at ease . If they have not done their best, then I need not worry . They just have to do better, . . . It's not due to their lapse, but the lack of self-cultivation and Light Body Technique . "

"What do you have in mind?" Asked Prince An .

Chu Li's voice was deep, "I will personally protect young lady here to guard against the a.s.sa.s.sin knowing he did not kill and coming back for the second time . "

"Wouldn't this be appropriate?" Prince An's face darkened a few shades, "You, a man living in the back courtyard?"

Chu Li added, "Your Royal Highness have heard what Grandmother Dong has said, . . . Young lady's body is currently at a fragile state . Any rustle of change and anything happens to young lady, who is going to be responsible?"

Prince An understood what he meant . Siao s.h.i.+'s body was now too fragile . Even if they both were having an affair, they wouldn't be able to do anything even if they wanted to .

This had him calm down but was still uncomfortable .

Chu Li closed fist saluted and solemnly requested, "I hope Your Royal Highness could understand . "

Siao s.h.i.+ asked, "You think that the person would return?"

Chu Li coldly replied, "If he could kill young lady once, there would most certainly be a second time . If there is a second time, young lady won't be so lucky . He knows now about the Spirit Blessing Pill, how can he not think of other ways?"

The Spirit Blessing Pill was not a miracle pill . If after murder, the head was cut off and tossed aside, the Spirit Blessing could not grow back a head .

" . . . Okay . " Prince An's mind went busy for a moment before slowly nodding, "If you wish to protect, then stay in the neighboring courtyard . You could hear if there's anything going on . "

" . . . Okay . " Prince An's mind went busy for a moment before slowly nodding, "If you wish to protect, then stay in the neighboring courtyard . You could hear if there's anything going on . "

This a.s.sa.s.sin was too good . If he really succeeded in killing Siao s.h.i.+, he wouldn't be able to explain .

Yet the masters in the Imperial Residence could not guard against him . Moreover, if something were to happen and it was his men, then it would send tongues wagging .

If Chu Li wanted to take over this hot potato, it would be for the best .

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!" Chu Li closed fist saluted .

Prince An waved off, "Princess, I will be attending out there . Don't get into trouble . "

Siao s.h.i.+ lightly nodded .

——

Once Prince An left, there was only Grandmother Dong, Yang Xu and Xue Ling left in the premises . Chu Li asked, "Grandmother Dong, when will young lady's wounds recover?"

"It was done by a martial arts master . There's hidden wounds within her body . It was hard enough stopping it from getting severe, as for recovery . . . " Grandmother Dong sighed and shook her head, "We're talking about a year or so before any healing begins . . . "

"This thug!" Chu Li muttered hatefully .

Siao s.h.i.+ side glanced at him .

Chu Li turned and spoke to Grandmother Dong, "We'll have to trouble Grandmother Dong from now on . "

As he spoke, he took out a ten thousand tael bank note and placed it in the medical box .

Grandmother Dong saw the face value, her rosy face changed, "It's too much!"

Chu Li shook his head, "This, compared to young lady's life, is incomparable . We hope Grandmother Dong won't forsake . "

'Sigh . . . " Grandmother Dong sighed, "I will do my best but there's really nothing to be done with princess' wounds . We can only take it step by step . "

Chu Li answered, "There is no rush . Let's play by ear . "

Chu Li answered, "There is no rush . Let's play by ear . "

Grandmother Dong nodded and did not explain further .

After a while, Grandmother Dong let go of Siao s.h.i.+'s wrist and got up to write up a formula . She then excused herself and left .

Once there were only the two of them after the leave of Yang Xu and Xue Ling, Siao s.h.i.+ side glanced him "So he's the guy you've found?"

She thought that this was the person Chu Li looked for but doubted that she may be wrong . Why was there a need to stab in the heart . He could stab anywhere else!

Chu Li smiled, "What do you think?'

"He wouldn't really kill me, right?" Siao s.h.i.+ frowned, "As if I'm his nemesis . "

Chu Li pointed at himself .

Siao s.h.i.+ was surprised, "But you don't look similar . "

Chu Li answered, "I learn the Bone Shrinkage Skill from brother Jiang . I can change my appearance . "

"Are you secretly hating on me?" Siao s.h.i.+ scoffed, "Hating on me for dragging you here instead to accompany third younger sister?"

Chu Li glared at her temperamentally .

Siao s.h.i.+ responded, "No matter how I see, you looked like you really wanted to kill me . "

Chu Li shook his head, "If I can't have you fooled, you would have gave it away earlier . "

Prince An could read people well . If Siao s.h.i.+ knew that it was him, it might show it in her face and not have hatred in her eyes . Prince An would be suspicious .

Although it was flawless, being suspected by Prince An would be troublesome .

If Siao s.h.i.+ reacted normally then Prince An would not think twice about it, saving him the trouble .

"Looking at his face, it was really a pleasant sight!" Siao s.h.i.+ scoffed, "Please be alert living beside! Once there's rustling, quickly get over!"

If Siao s.h.i.+ reacted normally then Prince An would not think twice about it, saving him the trouble .

"Looking at his face, it was really a pleasant sight!" Siao s.h.i.+ scoffed, "Please be alert living beside! Once there's rustling, quickly get over!"

The moment she heard Chu Li would be living next door, she felt secure .

Chu Li smiled as he nodded .

Siao s.h.i.+ asked, "When will I recover?"

"This would depend on His Royal Highness," Chu Li flashed a grin .

Siao s.h.i.+ gave a brightly lit smile . She understood Chu Li . The moment Prince An was done was the moment she'd recover .

——

The morning of the second day was clear of clouds and the air was airy and breezy .

The Chief of the Imperial Residence of Prince An, Song Sansi arrived at Precious Light Courtyard .

When the maids in the courtyard saw that it was him, they curtseyed and did not make any stop .

He took large strides into the hall and closed fist saluted, "Princess!"

"Come in and talk," A husky moving voice was heard .

Song Sansi drew the curtains up and entered the hall . He lowered his head and took a few steps forced onto a lady sitting in an armchair . He closed fist saluted, "Princess!"

This lady was around her thirties with a snowy oval face . Her lips was small and full . Her eyes were almond shaped with bold brows . Her looks were divine . It was concubine, Song Liuying .

She was listlessly looking at Song Sansi, speaking casually, "I heard that Princess Siao was a.s.sa.s.sinated?"

"Yes . " Answered Song Sansi, "A stab to the heart but saved due to the Siao's Spirit Blessing Pill . Her body, not quite though, . . . . Congratulations, princess!"

"What's the congratulations for?" Song Liuying carelessly answered .

Song Sansi smiled, As a consort, yet unable to bear a child, she wouldn't be able to hold her position . Your chance has arrive!"

Prince An stared blankly at Siao s.h.i.+, his handsome face went through phases of drastic change . Grandmother Dong took out a row of silver needles from her medical box and slowly poked a few needles onto Siao s.h.i.+ .
