The horse galloped at an extreme speed, and if she had been thrown to the ground, she would have been crippled, if not killed.
In agonizing pain, Feng Yinwan had no time to think. Fortunately, Feng Wuxi had already flown over and caught her before she hit the ground.
"How are you?"
The incident had happened so suddenly, and Ye Tingyan's madness had far exceeded their imagination. Seeing Feng Yinwan's pale face now, his killing intent intensified.
Feng Yinwan shook her head. "Don't worry about me! He's poisoned, and his hands are not convenient. You go after him quickly!"
Feng Wuxi nodded and let her go. In an instant, the cavalry behind them had already given chase.
As Ye Tingyan fled, many of his subordinates within the manor were immediately slaughtered. When Feng Yun and others chased out, Feng Yinwan was squatting on the roadside, clutching her abdomen, her face ashen.
"Jiang... Princess Consort!"
The moment her body was embraced, Feng Yinwan's vision went black, and she immediately lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she was lying in her room. Feng Wuxi and Yu Che were by her side, the atmosphere somewhat somber.
"How do you feel?"
Ye Tingyan possessed profound internal energy, not inferior to Feng Wuxi. The palm strike he unleashed with all his might was not to be underestimated.
The pain in her lower abdomen still lingered, but it was not the expected pain of a miscarriage. She raised her hand to check her pulse. Fortunately, her pregnancy was safe.
Feng Yinwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and truthfully shook her head.
"I'm alright."
The physicians at the manor had already been sent away. Feng Yun was skilled in poison but not in medicine.
If Yu Che hadn't stopped him just now, he would have definitely gone down the mountain to carry back a physician.
Seeing Feng Yun's gaze turn to Yu Che, she secretly relaxed and then looked up.
"Did you examine me?"
Yu Che shook his head. "It wasn't me. It was the Gu on you."
Feng Yinwan: "?"
There... there really was one?
"I told you long ago that you had a Gu on you."
Seeing the peculiar expression on her face, Yu Che paused and then continued.
"The Gu on you is a life Gu, extremely rare."
A life Gu uses blood as a guide, protecting the host with its host's vital essence, bringing a hundred benefits and no harm.
"The 'guide' you mentioned is..."
Yu Che glanced at her and said lightly, "The blood of the person who placed the Gu on you."
Feng Yinwan felt that the situation was far more bizarre than she had imagined.
This seemed like a business with no downsides, didn't it?
But then again, why would someone give away such a precious item like a life Gu instead of keeping it for themselves? And even using their own blood as the guide...
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Yu Che narrowed his eyes at her. "Place your palm on your abdomen and feel carefully."
Feng Yinwan did as she was told.
Her abdomen had already started to show a slight bulge due to the pregnancy. Whether it was an illusion or not, when she placed her palm there now, she could feel a faint warm current.
"This is..."
"The life Gu resides in the weakest part of the human body. That palm strike you received, it shielded you from most of the impact."
Feng Yinwan believed this.
Even with the fetus-stabilizing pills from the bracelet, her pregnancy might not have been easily protected from Ye Tingyan's palm strike.
But she still couldn't understand who would so readily give such a good thing to her.
In the end, she beat Feng Wuxi, but he didn't admit to doing it.
After they left, Feng Yinwan suddenly remembered not asking about Ye Tingyan. She immediately went to Yu Che next door to inquire.
"There were people waiting to receive him at the foot of the mountain. He escaped using a trick of shedding his skin."
"Escaped?!"
How could Feng Yinwan be willing to accept this?
Yu Che looked at her and added, "Don't worry. I have, by order of Pavilion Master Feng, planted a Gu on him. He will not be at ease."
Ye Tingyan was indeed not at ease, but his discomfort was far from limited to that.
When the imperial envoy team arrived at the Jinzhou military camp, Xie Changlin and others had just been apprehended.
No one had expected the imperial decree to be issued so suddenly. Ye Tingyan's men had not had time to react before being captured by Li Chengyan and Qi Xuan's troops. Simultaneously, the hidden armaments and provisions in Xishan were also unearthed, each piece of evidence conclusive.
Although Ye Tingyan could not be directly implicated yet, the Jinzhou military camp had always been closely associated with him, and he could not escape responsibility.
"Your Highness!"
The events in Jinzhou had been in the works for some time, and Ye Tinglan's sudden change of route was related to this matter.
Having not seen him for several days, Qi Xuan was understandably agitated. Now that he had personally confirmed His Highness was unharmed, he was finally relieved.
Ye Tinglan nodded. "Where is he?"
Mistaking this to be a question about Xie Changlin and the others, Qi Xuan's expression lowered, and he immediately replied.
"He has been escorted to the tent and is personally guarded by General Li."
To his surprise, his Prince's face immediately turned cold.
"This Prince asks about Yuping."
Qi Xuan's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly realized.
"She... she is also inside."
Seeing Yuping was like seeing Feng Yinwan. She must know her whereabouts!
The turmoil in the military camp had already left Yuping with lingering fear. To suddenly see Ye Tinglan now was like a second shock.
She almost knelt down without her legs giving way. From behind, Li Chengyan quickly grabbed her collar.
"Look at how frightened this poor thing is."
He had only uttered two sounds when, in a flash, the weight on his fingertips was gone.
Beside him, Qi Xuan held his sword, his expression stern, not even looking at Li Chengyan.
"General Li, please show some respect in front of His Highness!"
