Xiao Zhan gained consciousness and looked around. "General Xiao is awake," a soldier whispered and quickly walked out of the room to inform the First Prince.
Xiao Zhan sat up and put his feet down on the chilling floor. "What happened? I got unconscious and—" he felt the pain in his back head and he squeezed his eyes tightly.
One soldier explained to Xiao Zhan, who opened his eyes after finding out that Sheng Li got severely wounded by an arrow. He wore the shoes and stood up when Jian Guozhi entered.
Xiao Zhan bowed before him. "Forgive me, for being so careless, Your Highness," he apologized. He felt guilty for not protecting the Emperor well. "How is his majesty?" he asked concernedly.
"The Emperor is unconscious. He will wake up soon," Jian Guozhi assured him.
"Find out about the origin of this arrow. Commander Yang is outside to take control over the situation in Changying," Jian Guozhi said and forwarded the arrow from which Sheng Li was shot.
