Chapter 218: Caught in a Trap
The medicine in the porcelain bottle still hadn't been poured into Chi Wan's teacup, and Yan Mar was still struggling, and she still couldn't decide whether her decision was right or wrong.
But at that time, the prince also warned her that he would send someone to spy on her in secret, and if he wanted to save his life, he would do as he said.
I only heard the sound of footsteps outside, Yan Mar's heart was horizontal, and when she opened the porcelain bottle, she poured the transparent liquid inside into Chi Wan's cup, a colorless and tasteless special drug, even a famous doctor like Chi Wan couldn't detect it at once.
After Chi Wan returned to the room, Yan Mar pretended to fiddle with her fingers there, and Chi Wan didn't suspect anything. She handed the packaged bag of flower tea in her hand to Yan Marer and said, "Here, I think these should be enough, if you finish drinking, you can come and ask me again." β
"Thank you, Sister Wan'er." The more Chi Wan is good to Yan Marer, the more Yan Mar is reluctant to go.
Seeing that Chi Wan had already poured two cups of hot tea for each other, the rich fragrance suddenly spread in the room, and it smelled very good. Yan Mar Er stared at Chi Wan with a look of disappointment, Chi Wan was a little uncomfortable, and asked, "What's the matter, Yan Mar, do you have anything to tell me?" β
"No, no." Yan Mar realized that she was out of shape, and hurriedly used the posture of drinking tea to cover her uneasy mood, and Chi Wan also drank the tea on the side.
Seeing that the plan was successful, after a while, Ji Wan would feel drowsy, and then fall into a coma, and he would just act at the opportunity.
She stood up suddenly and said in a gentle tone: "Sister Wan'er, I don't think it's too early, thank you for the tea you gave me, I'll go back first." β
"Okay." Ji Wan nodded and said.
On the other side, Xie Yutang prepared to go to the palace of the King of Chu after leaving Fenghetang, and because the two places were far apart, Xie Yutang had to make a detour through the city gate.
He hurried up, in order to be able to arrive as soon as possible before dark, so as not to disturb the rest of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
The horses were running on the long street in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the magnificent city gate in front of him was already looming, Xie Yutang wanted to pass by, so it was better to go and see how the brothers were, after all, this city gate was originally within the scope of the King of Chu's jurisdiction.
Seeing that the horses had run under the city gate, they thought they would be able to see their acquaintances, but who knew that the guards standing there were all fresh faces, and they all knelt down and saluted after seeing Xie Yutang and said, "See General Xie!" β
Xie Yutang was a little unaware, the guards at the city gate here were originally assigned by him, but he didn't have any impression of these people in front of him.
He asked, "Why have I never seen you?" What about the guards guarding the city gates? β
One of them replied, "Back to General Xie, we have just arrived, and we don't know where the original guards are now. β
"Who sent you?"
"General Mu!"
Mt. Muejo? Why did he want to change the guards at the city gate, Xie Yutang was not at ease, so he turned his head and went directly to the palace of the king of Chu.
"Drive! Drive! Xie Yutang rode his horse and galloped, thinking: Mu Zhufeng is the person next to the prince, the prince wants to weaken himself and the power of the king of Chu a little bit, but the city gate is still public relations, when will they be able to change the city gate guards for so long?
Xie Yutang took the path and hurried to the residence of the King of Chu, he gasped and dismounted, seeing that even this place had changed a lot.
The guards at the door have doubled compared to before, and they are all raw, so it should be a good thing that Mu Zhufeng did if it is not surprising.
When the guards saw Xie Yutang, they saluted and said, "See General Xie!" β
Xie Yutang said, "Who made you stay here?" King of Chu? β
"No, it's General Mu!"
Sure enough, it was expected, but Xie Yutang felt that it was a bit excessive, and said: "Go back and tell General Mu that this is the residence of the King of Chu, and there is no need for you to stay here." β
One of them said: "Back to General Xie, General Mu is also kind, the situation has been turbulent recently, and he sent us here to protect His Royal Highness the King of Chu." β
Speaking of protection, it is actually surveillance, not to mention that Mu Zhufeng is just a general, the king of Chu is more than one level higher than him, how can he have the right to install his own guards by the side of the king of Chu in such a righteous and bright way.
"Go back, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will appoint people again, you can leave me now." Xie Yutang ordered them.
The group immediately knelt down and saluted, and said pertinently: "Forgive your subordinates are not allowed to obey General Xie's orders, we only obey General Mu's arrangement, if General Xie has any objections, you can consult with General Mu." β
For a while, Xie Yutang didn't want to do this with them, he still had something to report to the King of Chu, so he planned to wait for tomorrow to talk to Mu Zhufeng about what he meant.
"In that case, I'm going to go in and find His Royal Highness the King of Chu."
After that, Xie Yutang took a step to go inside, but several guards jumped out to block his way, saying, "General Xie, without General Mu's consent, we can't let anyone in or out." β
"What do you mean by that?" Now Xie Yutang was completely provoked, this is house arrest in disguise! Xie Yutang frowned, looking like he was going to break through, but the guards were not easy to mess with, they stood on a human wall, so that Xie Yutang couldn't find a breakthrough at all.
"I hope General Xie forgives his sins!" Word by word, there was no room for maneuver, and Xie Yutang almost almost fought with them.
But then he thought about it, and felt that all this seemed to be too much of a coincidence, as if everything had been arranged, and someone had deliberately let him see all this.
It's not good, it's a plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain! Xie Yutang was shocked, and recklessly got on the horse and ran back to the direction of Fenghetang.
That's right, all this was planned by the prince, just to transfer him away in order to carry out his real purpose.
The prince's plan was like this, to transfer him away from Fenghetang, lead him to the side of the king of Chu, and then set up his own eyeliner in his place, deliberately causing himself to doubt, so as to divert his attention.
In this way, he can take the opportunity to go to Fenghe Hall and take them away - Chi Wan and Yan Mar!
He almost used all his strength to grasp the reins, bobbing up and down over and over to make the horse run faster, and the last thing he wanted happened, the people he cared about the most were threatened, used, and even ...... He couldn't even imagine it.
At this moment, the sun has completely set, and the sun has completely set at this moment, Yan Mar has always wandered near Fenghetang, and from time to time he probes to see the situation of Chi Wan in the shop.
She recalled the plan that the prince had told her at that timeβthat day, he personally handed over the drug in the porcelain vase to herself, and told herself: "As long as you feed her this medicine at the time of Shen, the medicine will attack in a few moments, and then you send a signal to my attendants who have arranged for you to be nearby, and a carriage will come and pick you up." You can rest assured that as long as you don't say a word, no one will know that you did it. β
The prince swore an oath, but Yan Mar was still uneasy in her heart, she suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Then what if there were others present at that time, such as Xie Yutang." β
The prince was thoughtful, and he said, "If it's Xie Yutang, I have another way, you just need to do what you have to do." β
Seeing that the time for the drug attack had passed, Yan Mar took a deep breath, and thought of the excuse that Chi Wan should use in case she woke up, she walked into the Fenghe Hall and said, "Sister Wan'er, I seem to have left my handkerchief here. β
There was no one in the shop, because it was closed in the evening, so all the people in the shop had gone home. Yan Mar called out twice tentatively: "Sister Wan'er, are you there?" Sister Wan'er? β
There was still no response, Yan Mar went inside more and more, and saw that he had arrived at Chi Wan's room in a few steps, Yan Mar took a closer look inside, and saw that the person he was looking for was inside.
Before Ji Wan could take off her clothes, she lay on the bed and fell asleep groggily, she slept deeply, her long and curled eyelashes drooped down, and the slight sound of breathing made people can't bear to disturb her sweet dreams. Yan Mar first poked her cheek gently, and then shook her body again, still not awake, it seems that the drug has indeed worked.
Yan Mar was full of regret in her heart, she apologized to Chi Wan softly several times, then carefully carried her back, and then whistled three times as the prince said, that is, she saw a person jumping out of the bushes beside the shop and looking at her.
Yan Mar was slightly stunned, but then thought that this was the prince's informant, so he nodded at him, and the man nodded in response to Yan Mar after understanding, and then left.
In a few moments, an inconspicuous carriage stopped at the door of Fenghetang. Yan Mar carried Chi Wan out on his back and carefully put her into the carriage, and then the person in charge of driving the horse told Yan Mar Er: "You can go back, you have completed all the tasks assigned to you by His Royal Highness the Prince." β
"No," Yan Mar also got into the carriage, and she said, "I won't be relieved if I don't see where Sister Wan'er has gone." β
The groom couldn't do anything about her, and it was about to come to the end of time, and he didn't want to be blamed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for delaying his task because of his entanglement with this woman, so he had to leave in a carriage.
The carriage drove leisurely like this, all the way to the north of the capital, if Chi Wan was awake in that direction, she would definitely recognize it, it was the direction to Mu Zhufeng's mansion.
The front foot of the carriage here has just left, and Xie Yutang has finally arrived in a hurry, but at this moment, the shop is already empty, Chi Wan and Yan Marer, no one is in it, only the empty room is left.
