“Quacks! All of you are quacks! If this prince cannot be cured, I will chop off your heads!”
Inside the main courtyard of the Fifth Prince’s residence.
From the side hall next to the main bedroom came the furious roar of the Fifth Prince.
Shortly after, several doctors rushed out in a disheveled state.
They exchanged glances and shook their heads with bitter smiles.
A small head slowly and quietly peeked out from a corner of the roof. Upon seeing the group of helpless imperial physicians, he raised the corners of his mouth and silently chuckled.
The poison brewed by Gu Xiaonan wasn’t something that could be easily neutralized.
However, there were too many people in the yard. How could he return to the previous room to find the key?
Based on his a.s.sessment, it seemed that the disfigured prince had been poisoned and likely didn’t manage to get dressed in time. The key should be in the room he had originally occupied.
However, that room was adjacent to the one he was currently in.
Because of the incident, the Fifth Prince had mobilized the most elite forces of the mansion in this main courtyard. It was almost impossible for Gu Xiaonan to enter stealthily.
Unless…
Gu Xiaonan glanced at the room behind the imperial physicians, a devilish smile appearing in his eyes.
He stood on the rooftop, lightly descending above Qitian Yu’s room, and lifted a piece of roof tile.
Qitian Yu would never have imagined that the “a.s.sa.s.sin” who had ambushed him not only didn’t escape but had actually circled back to give him another blow.
Gu Xiaonan lay on the rooftop, peering into the room below.
Several middle-aged and elderly men stood inside the room, along with a few maidservants.
Qitian Yu lay on the bed, completely naked, covered in red rashes that looked like burns from scalding water.
Seeing Qitian Yu’s miserable state, Gu Xiaonan raised an eyebrow in satisfaction and let his spiritual awareness sink into his storage s.p.a.ce.
Rummaging around, he finally found a radiant light bomb.
This radiant light bomb was different from those on the market. It was Gu Xiaonan’s version, an enhanced version with tremendous power.
Without hesitation, Gu Xiaonan threw it inside.
Qitian Yu was in the midst of cursing loudly.
Suddenly, a deafening explosion drowned out his voice.
Qitian Yu’s throat tightened, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, “Protect me! Protect me!”
Due to his excessive agitation, his voice cracked, and the sharp cry sounded as if a pig was being slaughtered.
In an instant, the brilliant light emitted by the exploding radiant light bomb filled the entire room.
The guards posted outside the room heard Qi Tianyu’s shouts, their expressions shifting abruptly. Without hesitation, they burst through the door.
Blinding light poured out, and the guards instinctively shielded their eyes.
It was precisely at this moment!
Gu Xiaonan’s eyes were covered by two pieces of translucent black film. He leaped down from the roof and burst into the neighboring room.
He had already scouted the rooftop before. Qitian Yu’s clothes were hanging on a screen inside the room.
Entering the room, he went straight for the screen, his hands groping through the clothing.
“Found it!”
Gu Xiaonan’s eyes lit up.
He tightly gripped a bunch of keys and turned around to run outside.
In his haste, he collided with someone.
Gu Xiaonan was knocked down to the ground by the impact.
He immediately sprung up, swiftly darting out with a swoosh.
The guard he had collided with vaguely saw a small figure in the blinding surroundings. He reached out to grab, missed, and quickly shouted, “The a.s.sa.s.sin is here! Someone, quickly catch him!”
“Cough cough! Capture the a.s.sa.s.sin! Hurry! Cough cough! Don’t let him escape again!” Qitian Yu ordered while coughing.
The air was filled with the pungent scent of pepper spray.
It stung his eyes, making them hard to keep open, and his throat incessantly itched, provoking coughs.
Gu Xiaonan rushed out of the main courtyard, only to find guards charging at him from three directions.
There were pursuers behind him as well.
Surrounded on all sides, there was no way out!
Gu Xiaonan leaped onto the roof, running and jumping with speed.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
A row of arrows was shot at him.
Gu Xiaonan agilely evaded them.
Even more arrows were directed at him.
To evade the arrows, Gu Xiaonan shifted his body, lost his footing, and tumbled downward.
In his heart, Gu Xiaonan lamented
I’m done for!
