Chapter 294: Hunt down to the palace
Although what the flower-skinned demon said made Su Ruoxi feel shocked, she didn't doubt it. γMairuo Debutγ
But no matter what, the plan she has prepared will not change.
Su Ruoxi explained tonight's plan to the Flowery Demon in detail, and asked the Flowery Demon to help her complete it in secret.
By the time the two had agreed, it was already dark outside.
A bright full moon hangs high in the night sky, illuminating the whole night.
Su Ruoxi prepared everything, so she asked Xiangxiang to bring the pastries prepared in advance, and she personally carried them to Ya'er.
Ya'er knew she was coming, and she had been sitting in the courtyard for a long time.
Seeing Ya'er, Su Ruoxi walked in front of her, put down the food box in her hand, and said, "I prepared some pastries, it just so happens that tonight is the night of the full moon, and I am bored alone, so I came to you to enjoy the moon together." β
As she spoke, Su Ruoxi smiled at Ya'er in a wink.
Ya'er understood what Su Ruoxi meant, so she instructed the maid on the side: "Go and prepare tea for the third princess!" β
After the maid left, only she and Su Ruoxi were left in the courtyard.
Ya'er looked around and asked a little worriedly: "If it's a pity, I always feel like I'm going up and down in my heart." I heard some rumors from the palace people during the day, so nothing will happen tonight, right? β
Su Ruoxi didn't expect that even Ya'er heard those rumors.
It seems that the dark night has really put a lot of thought into this.
"Ya'er, where did you hear about the rumors?"
Su Ruoxi was curious for a moment, so she wanted to ask.
Ya'er didn't hesitate, and replied directly: "Xiao Yu's place is the guard who left just now. In this palace, she is responsible for serving me closely. β
"What's wrong? Those rumors can't be true, right? β
Ya'er looked at Su Ruoxi with a nervous expression, and Su Ruoxi just smiled indifferently.
"Rumors are always more pompous, so don't bother with them. This is for you, according to the plan we said before, you are optimistic about the timing, so you will eat it. β
Su Ruoxi stuffed the medicine bottle containing a pill into Ya'er's hand, Ya'er held the medicine bottle tightly in her hand, and then nodded.
"Where is the fourth prince?"
Ya'er asked with concern, and before she successfully left the Northern Qi Kingdom, her heart could not settle down.
"I have my own arrangements over there, you don't have to worry."
The time of Mu Chengfeng and Ya'er's fake death will be a little different, and she has just asked the flower demon to send the medicine to Mu Chengfeng.
Moreover, she asked the flower-skinned demon to pretend to be an assassin, making the world mistakenly believe that Mu Chengfeng was assassinated by an assassin.
Ya'er, on the other hand, needs to take advantage of tonight's timing.
She thought about it seriously before, if Ya'er and Mu Chengfeng both faked their deaths in the same way, then the matter would seem too coincidental and would inevitably arouse suspicion.
Ya'er and Mu Chengfeng's fake death must be done very carefully, and there can be no mistakes.
At this time, Xiaoyu, the maid who had just left, walked back with tea.
Seeing Xiaoyu coming back, Su Ruoxi and Ya'er glanced at each other, and stopped discussing the previous topic.
"Third princess, please use tea!"
Xiao Yu lowered her head, put the tea lightly in front of Su Ruoxi, and said respectfully.
Su Ruoxi picked up the teacup and blew the hot air, and suddenly the tip of her nose keenly smelled that there was a smell in the tea that did not belong to the tea leaves.
Although the smell was very weak, she could clearly sense that something was wrong with her facial features.
Strange, this Xiaoyu, how could it take so long to make a cup of tea?
Su Ruoxi had a hint of suspicion in her heart, and put the teacup back on the table.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Su Ruoxi suddenly looked a little strange, Ya'er asked with a blank face.
"It's okay, it's just that the tea is too hot, let it cool down before drinking."
"The third princess of Qiyu, this tea has been cooled, and now it tastes the best!"
Suddenly, Xiaoyu boldly opened her mouth to remind.
"Xiaoyu's tea making skills are very good, and I even learned from her. If you try it, you will definitely not be disappointed. β
Ya'er, who didn't know the truth, kindly helped Xiaoyu speak.
Su Ruoxi ignored Ya'er, but looked directly at Xiaoyu.
Xiao Yu always lowered her head, as if she had done something unsightly, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at Su Ruoxi.
"If you drink all this cup of tea, this princess will believe that you have indeed cooled the tea."
Su Ruoxi handed the teacup to Xiao Yu, with a flash of doubt in her eyes.
Xiaoyu shook her head and explained nervously: "The third princess is joking, the slave maid has a humble status, how dare she drink the tea of the third princess." β
Ya'er on the side, although she couldn't understand what Su Ruoxi wanted to do, she keenly sensed that something was wrong with Xiaoyu.
So, she didn't speak again, but watched quietly.
Su Ruoxi looked at Xiaoyu from head to toe, and saw that Xiaoyu was not too different from ordinary palace maids, the same timid, cautious, and careful.
However, her intuition told her that there must be something wrong with Xiaoyu.
If Xiaoyu didn't know that there was a problem with the tea, she wouldn't be afraid to drink this cup of tea.
"It doesn't matter, this princess is in a good mood tonight, this cup of tea is a reward for you."
When Su Ruoxi said this, Xiao Yu hesitantly reached out and took the teacup, but she refused to drink the tea.
"What's wrong? Are you still afraid that this princess will not be able to poison this tea? Why don't you drink it?! β
Seeing that Xiaoyu really had a problem, Su Ruoxi's tone suddenly became a little more ruthless.
Xiao Yu took a step back, and the moment she looked up, Su Ruoxi saw that Xiao Yu's eyes had a thick murderous aura.
At this moment, Xiao Yu made a gesture ready to wave his sleeves.
Su Ruoxi's eyes were quick, and she knew that Xiao Yu was going to throw a hidden weapon out, so she reminded Ya'er and shouted: "Ya'er, be careful, get out of the way!" β
At the same time as her words fell, several sharp small flying knives flew out of Xiao Yu's sleeves.
Su Ruoxi pulled out the short sword at her waist to resist, and knocked the flying knife flying towards her to the ground.
"You're not Xiaoyu! Who the hell are you! β
Seeing that Xiaoyu actually knew martial arts, Ya'er was the first to react.
"Humph! It's just one step away, Su Ruoxi, you are really vigilant! β
A sneer hung on the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth, and she waved her hand to tear off the mask on her face.
Su Ruoxi looked at it and said in surprise: "It's actually you!" β
The little jade in front of him turned out to be Ling Zi pretending.
She originally thought that Ling Zi would not appear easily if she escaped, but she didn't expect Ling Zi to dare to sneak into the palace.
"Who are you? What about the little jade people? What did you do with her? β
Seeing Ling Zi's true face, Ya'er shouted angrily at Ling Zi.
Su Ruoxi looked at the strange light in Ling Zi's eyes, and always felt that something was wrong.
