Chapter 182 Blocking
"Of course, Master's horse is one of a kind in the world." Shadow Two answered proudly, before Si Yu could reply. He was full of pride and confidence in Xuan Ying.
Su Fuying suddenly smiled and looked at Ying Er. Her smiling eyes fell on Ying Er, but he felt a chill run down his spine.
This woman's smile always carried a hint of mystery and danger, making her unfathomable.
"Your Shadowless Palace must have a lot of good stuff, right?" Su Fuying's words carried a hint of teasing and curiosity, but her eyes were unusually serious.
This made even the usually oblivious Shadow Two realize the deeper meaning behind it, and he dared not respond easily.
The woman's meaningful gaze seemed to see through everything, and Shadow Two couldn't help but shiver.
He knew this question was not simple, and that answering it carelessly could cause him trouble.
So he cautiously asked in return, "Princess, what does the Princess want?"
Seeing Ying Er's caution, Su Fuying knew that she had successfully attracted the other party's attention.
She decided to stop beating around the bush and said directly, "Give me a horse, the fastest one."
Her tone was firm and decisive, leaving no room for doubt.
Upon hearing this, Shadow Two's eyes widened instantly, and his expression became extremely serious.
He jumped to his feet, staring at Su Fuying in disbelief, and exclaimed, "You're going to the border? Absolutely not!"
Ying Er inwardly groaned, never expecting Su Fuying to make such a request.
He knew that the situation at the border was very complicated, and now was a critical moment, so no one could easily leave the capital.
Most importantly, her master had instructed her to protect the princess. If she were to go to the border, she could not bear the consequences.
He hurriedly advised, "Princess, the situation is so tense right now, how can you leave so easily? Besides, the border is so dangerous, what if something happens?"
However, Su Fuying was not swayed by Ying Er's persuasion.
She calmly explained, "I am now a daughter of the Pei family. My father and brothers are trapped at the border, and it is my responsibility to go and rescue them. Besides, Xiao Yuheng is there, and he is not afraid, so why should I be afraid?"
Her gaze was firm and confident, leaving no room for argument.
“Princess, the two countries are at war now. Those people from Bei Li are all barbaric beasts. If a woman goes there and is captured by them…” Ying Er said with a frown.
Before he could finish speaking, everyone present understood his unspoken meaning. After all, if a woman fell into enemy hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Are the people of Beili really this arrogant?" Upon hearing this, Su Fuying frowned, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
However, when she thought of Xiao Yuheng also going to the border, a sense of doubt arose in her heart.
She turned to look at Ying Er and Si Yu and asked, "Will he go to the border to fight the enemy?"
Shadow Two was somewhat taken aback by her sudden question, but still answered truthfully, "Of course, if you can't fight on the front lines, what will you be doing, Master?"
Upon hearing this answer, Su Fuying's expression instantly turned serious.
She suddenly remembered something and quickly called out to Biluo, "Biluo, go check if any of the medicine in my box is missing!"
With that, she slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly. Sensing the urgency in her voice, Biluo didn't dare delay and immediately turned and ran towards the room.
Seeing her reaction, Si Yu realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Princess?"
Before Su Fuying could speak, Biluo returned.
"Miss, Miss, two bottles are missing."
Before Biluo even arrived, she shouted loudly in the courtyard.
"Oh no, Shadow Two, quick, prepare the horses."
Su Fuying stood up and hurriedly walked into the room.
"What exactly happened, Princess?"
Ying Er quickly got up and followed, exchanging a glance with Si Yu. He felt that this matter might be related to his master, and he was also a little anxious.
Su Fuying continued walking without slowing down, asking, "Do you know that Xiao Yuheng cannot use his internal energy right now?"
"what?"
"I don't know, and my master has never said anything about it."
Ying Er and Si Yu's expressions changed. Si Yu controlled her emotions and asked, "Princess, what would happen if we used our internal energy?"
"He will die suddenly within three breaths, and even a god cannot save him."
Su Fuying spoke through gritted teeth; she had long realized that this person didn't care about life or death at all.
"How is that possible? Master clearly used his internal energy several times before."
Shadow Two stared wide-eyed in disbelief, thinking it was utterly unbelievable.
After all, Tingying had mentioned a few days ago that when he and Zun went to capture an elder of Qianjin Pavilion, the master had used his internal energy many times.
"Because he took the medicine I prepared, he can use his internal energy during the duration of the medicine's effects."
Su Fuying's tone was calm, but it made Shadow Two and Shadow Three feel a surge of tension.
"but……"
Su Fuying suddenly changed the subject, and the two people behind her immediately felt their hearts race and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
"The poison in his body has now reached his heart. Even with medication to suppress it, if he uses his internal energy again, he may not be able to fully recover, even if an antidote is found in the future."
Su Fuying's voice carried a hint of heaviness, causing Shadow Two and Shadow Three to feel a pang of anxiety.
This is why Su Fuying did not give the medicine to her master during this period, even though the medicine had been prepared.
She knew that all medicines have side effects, and frequent use of medication was not a good thing.
However, she never expected that the despicable scoundrel would be so cunning!
He actually took advantage of the fact that he had left the princess's mansion to sneak into her room and steal the medicine.
Last night, he deliberately showed me the secret letter, luring me back to the Grand Commandant's mansion to comfort Madam Pei, and then took the opportunity to steal medicine from the Princess's mansion.
At this moment, she really wanted to curse. And there was something else she didn't say: Xiao Yuheng was taking medicine excessively. Now that he had taken so much medicine, how could he survive after taking it all?
Si Yu seemed to suddenly come to her senses, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. Ignoring Ying Er's warning look, she hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly, "Your Highness has another horse named Bai Hong. Although it is not as good as Xuan Ying, it is still a fine steed. It will only take three days to get from here to the border. I will go and bring it over now."
After saying that, Si Yu turned to leave, but then heard Ying Er call out anxiously, "Si Yu!"
Shadow Two's voice was filled with urgency and worry, "We can't do that."
"Why not? This concerns the master's life."
Si Yu stopped and turned to look at Ying Er, her gaze firm and resolute, as if she had made up her mind.
Ying Er gripped Si Yu's arm tightly and said in a low voice, "This is also the princess's life. Master will never agree to exchange the princess's life for his own."
