"Do you have any other jade accessories?" The woman asked, keeping the dagger on his neck. Xiaoming removed the three jade rings that he had on the fingers of his left hand.
"Here," Xiaoming said. The woman put them inside her pocket and slowly stepped back. "Get your wound checked if you don't want to die," the woman warned Xiaoming and soon disappeared from his sight.
Xiaoming brought his hand on the right side of his neck and returned to his horse, Heji. Mounting on it, he returned to the palace. As Heji slowed down near the Imperial Gates, two soldiers came running to the Crown Prince, and he got down from the horse.
"Take Heji to the stable," Xiaoming said and went to his chamber. He had already instructed a soldier to bring Physician Peng to his manor.
