Rebirth: Bai Xueyun's
4. Killer on the first day

The courtyard set up for Bai Xueyun in Prince Chen's Palace was called the Winter Frozen Courtyard. It is currently in June, the hottest season of the year, and the courtyard is decorated with lush vegetation and jagged rocks of the classic style form, which makes it smoother than the gardens in Suzhou, China, the one visited by Bai Xueyun in her previous life.

Walkways with meandering rocks all the way to the bedroom.

The waiter led the way with a lantern in his hand, and his surroundings were enveloped by the dim light of the red lantern hanging on the roof, which mixed with moonlight and added a touch of gloom.

The waiter walked into the bedroom and reached out to push open the door with a creaking sound that broke the silence of the courtyard.

"Madam Bai, this is your bedroom, I'll go to the maid's room. Please let me know if you need anything." Although the servant spoke humbly, his attitude was insincere and respectful but mixed with a kind of indifferent feeling.

Bai Xueyun did not want to think too much about trivial matters, so she stepped into the room.

The room was neat, and Bai Xueyun was blown away as she walked to the bed and saw the golden Phoenix embroidered red blanket .

Although the wedding ceremony was interrupted and turned into a joke, it was an undeniable fact that she was married to prince Chen.

Bai Xueyun only hesitated for a moment before she lifted the blanket and went to sleep.

The wounds on his back and arms were still painful, it seemed like he needed to go outside tomorrow and buy some potions for himself, otherwise he would suffer pain when the wounds were inflamed.

While he was still thinking, someone knocked on the door. "Madam Bai, I'm here to apply the medicine for you under prince Chen's orders ."

"Please come in." Bai Xueyun lay still on the bed as she was still sleepy. With everything he had gone through today, he was exhausted.

Bai Xueyun faintly heard her footsteps and ears slightly move.

Something is wrong!

Bai Xueyun gritted her teeth and turned towards the inner side of the bed with final strength before seeing a beam of light come out from the corner of her eyes.

The dagger is put directly into the blanket with a hiss. If Bai Xueyun did not move by herself now, she would be stabbed with this dagger right in her heart.

Before Bai Xueyun had time to recall her fear, the man pulled a dagger and charged towards her again.

Bai Xueyun cursed silently: "Are you joking? At first it was poison, and now stab me with a dagger? It seems like someone really wants me dead! ” Meanwhile, his body dodged quickly. In the face of the death threat, his tattered body had unleashed its full potential, becoming extremely flexible.

Dodging, Bai Xueyun saw the man holding an indistinct dagger with the help of moonlight leaking through the window

The man was wearing black clothes and half of his face was covered with a black cloth, with only his eyes visible.

These could not be called as human eyes, because they were so calm, emotionless, and rigid, like the corpses had.

Bai Xueyun felt her heart beat violently and realized that this might be the so-called sacrificial man in ancient times, who was completely unafraid of death.

Even though he fought hard to avoid the man's attack, he was still injured and his body started bleeding.

The man who seemed to be irritated by the smell of his blood attacked him even more ferociously.

However Bai Xueyun managed to find an opportunity to get out of her bed and escape.

The waiter who said that he would be in the room did not show up. Bai Xueyun did not know if she was killed or was just pretending to avoid putting herself in danger, but nevertheless Xueyun had to cope with the current situation by herself

Apart from Xueyun's toughness, her current body was too weak. After only running a few steps, he tripped and fell to the ground.

The black-clothed man took the opportunity and pulled a dagger towards Li Hengyuan with great force. When the dagger was about to pierce through Bai Xueyun's body, a dazzling silver sword suddenly appeared in front of her.

The dagger and sword collided with the spark, and the sword blocked the dagger attack. The person holding the sword shook his hand to attack and the black-clothed man took a few steps back.

The man with the sword approached and immediately fought with the man dressed in black. Bai Xueyun propped up her body with her hands on the ground while panting.

Damnit damnit! That's very close.

The swordsman had strong martial skills and won in a few rounds, with the result of capturing the man alive.

But the next moment, the black-clothed man fell on the ground. When the swordsman reached out his hand to remove the mask of his clothes, dark blood came out of his mouth. Apparently at the time the killer was caught, he chewed on the poisonous capsule in his mouth, resulting in an instant death.

Knowing that he would not be able to get information from the black-clothed man, the swordsman dragged the assassin out and threw away his body.

Before long, he walked in front of Bai Xueyun, put down his sword and made a tribute to Bai Xueyun, "My name is Fu Yushen. I'm here to protect you under prince Chen's orders sorry for being late, empress Bai."

Bai Xueyun waved at him and stood with her hands in the corner of the table. "Please convey my thanks to prince Chen, you can leave now."

Fu Yushen asked, "Are you okay, empress? I'll be gone soon May call the doctor."

"That's not necessary. I'm fine." Bai Xueyun immediately refused, "i need to rest now."

"Yes queen ." With that, Fu Yushen disappeared.

However Bai Xueyun knew that Fu Yushen would not really leave. He might be hiding in a corner, ready to jump in case something happens.

Bai Xueyun went back to sleep with her weak body. As soon as he sat down, he felt nauseous, and before he could react, he spat out dark blood again.

Looking at the dark pool of blood on the ground, Bai Xueyun could not help but take her own pulse and an astonished look slowly appeared on her face.

He discovered that the poison in his body had been completely eliminated.

Not only that, but also the injuries on his back and arms, as well as the injuries that had just been obtained from the black-clothed man, it was itchy at this moment, he said, it was as if there were many ants crawling his wounds.

Bai Xueyun raised her hand and stared at the most shallow wound on the back of her hand. The miracle had just happened when his wound healed at an incredible speed.

Bai Xueyun had already gotten used to the strange things in her previous life, but she had never seen such a miracle. The self-healing capacity of his body was impressive.

Bai Xueyun focused her gaze on the wound that healed herself until she was sure that she would find no clues and ended up lying on her back on her bed to relax.

He could smell his own blood on the bed, but Bai Xueyun did not care. He did not want to think of anything because his brain was very tired and he gradually fell asleep.

The night insect sang outside the window and the others finally calmed down.

The next day, a small voice opened the door waking Bai Xueyun from her sweet dream. He opened his eyes and quickly turned towards the direction from where the sound was coming from.

A servant came with a basin filled with water in his hand. When he saw Bai Xueyun had woken up, he said humbly, "mistress Bai, are you awake? You should have gone to the imperial palace to pay your respects today. Prince Chen is already waiting outside."

It took a while before Bai Xueyun came out of the trance and recalled the situation where she was.

He sat down and soon realized that all the pain he had suffered yesterday was gone. He rolled up his sleeves and examined the wound on his arm.

There are no injuries left. The skin was slightly pinkish white and soft like cotton, which gave Bai Xueyun the urge to bite.

A scowling expression gradually surfaced on his face when he realized that the self-healing capacity of his body was beyond his expectations.
