Chapter 752: Interception (Part 1)

The attendant panicked and quickly defended himself, "Your Highness, please understand! I have absolutely no selfish motives! It's just that her status is special. If this incident causes a rift between her and Your Highness, then, then..."

Xiao Chenglin's gaze was like a cold sword hanging over his head, making him terrified.

It was unknown how long it took before Xiao Chenglin withdrew his gaze and spoke lightly.

"I understand. Then go tell her first that the situation is tense recently and it's not advisable to take any action. In a few days, I will find an opportunity to meet with the Nanhu envoys before they leave the capital to remove the life-death Gu from her body."

The long-servant's tense heart finally relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes! I'll do it right away!"

Xiao Chenglin waved his hand. He didn't dare to stay any longer and stood up and retreated respectfully.

Squeak——

The door closed and the room returned to its usual silence.

Xiao Chenglin raised his hand and pressed lightly somewhere under the table.

The wall beside him suddenly flipped over, revealing a black secret passage entrance.

At the same time, a thin man wearing a mask appeared in the shadow.

"What do you want?"

Xiao Chenglin said calmly, "There's no need to keep a dog that doesn't recognize its master."

The masked man didn't ask any more questions. Obviously he knew what he meant and just bowed his head respectfully in response.

"I understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure quickly disappeared from the spot.

The wall also returned to its original appearance, with no sign of abnormality.

…

After leaving Prince Jing's Mansion, the attendant headed south of the city.

After walking through the busy streets and turning several corners, he finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous drugstore.

The drugstore was small and old, and it looked quite old. There were not many customers at the time.

He walked in.

A middle-aged man was standing in front of the medicine cabinet, sorting out the medicinal herbs that were about to go moldy.

Hearing the commotion, he casually asked, "Come to get medicine?"

The attendant called out his name, "Boss Ba."

When Bashar heard the familiar voice, he finally turned around and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

"Why so soon again—"

As he was speaking, he suddenly paused and looked out the door vigilantly.

"Don't worry, no one saw me coming here." The attendant said, "Your Highness has something to tell her."

Basha understood immediately, but still walked over cautiously, locked the door of the pharmacy, and then turned around and said, "The person is in the backyard, just go there."

The attendant nodded and walked inside.

This pharmacy is very small, but there is a yard at the back.

If an outsider saw it at first glance, it would be extremely difficult to detect.

At the same time, the woman who was lying in the house and dozing off heard noises coming from the yard. She immediately opened her eyes, got up and went to the window.

The doors and windows here were locked from the outside, so she had no way of getting out by herself. At most, she could see a little bit of the scenery outside through the gaps in the windows.

She pressed both her hands tightly against the window, wishing she could see more clearly.

His face was thin and pale, and faint veins were faintly visible on his hands.

However, even though she is already in such a skinny state, it still cannot hide her beauty.

Under the long-term torture of the poison in her body, her physical condition has become extremely bad. Her cheeks are thin and slightly sunken, making her eyes with a faint blue hue look even bigger.

At first glance, it looked like a beautiful female skeleton ghost that only appeared in ghost stories.

If this person is not Xiao Lanxi who faked her death and escaped from the palace, then who is he?

Naturally, she at this moment can no longer be compared with her before, but a beauty is a beauty after all. Even after suffering so much torture, she still retains some of her beauty.

Especially when she showed a pitiful look, it was even more touching.

When she saw who was coming, a flash of disappointment quickly crossed her anxious face, but the next second, she was replaced by an expectant and eager expression, with even a hint of joy in her eyes.

The attendant obviously saw her as well, and immediately took a few quick steps to the window.

——Only Bashar has the key. When messages are passed back and forth, this door will not be opened easily.

Xiao Lanxi's voice was weak and hoarse, as thin as a gossamer but with an indescribable softness, gently alluring people like a feather.

"What did he say?"

Xiao Lanxi tried her best to control her emotions, but her slightly forward body still revealed her impatience at the moment.

"Will he agree to let me meet that person?"

She was really fed up with the dark days here!

Even if she can't go out for a while, at least it would be good to let her recuperate!

Otherwise, if I stay here all day, what's the difference between me and a prisoner?

"I'm afraid it's not possible now." As soon as the long-time attendant opened his mouth, the light in Xiao Lanxi's eyes instantly went out.

"Why? It's just one side, it won't take long! I, I——"

Her body can't continue like this!

The attendant quickly tried to appease him, "Don't worry. His Highness said that things are tense right now, so this isn't the right time. Wait a few days, when the Nanhu envoys are leaving, and he'll find a way to have you two meet to remove the poison from your body."

Xiao Lanxi's eyes lit up, "Really?"

The long-time attendant nodded and said, "It's true! That's why I came here specially--" to relay the good news.

Before he could finish the second half of the sentence, he suddenly realized something was wrong and turned around abruptly!

The door leading to the front hall of the drugstore was opened again, but the person who appeared was not Bashar, but a man wearing a black robe and a black mask on his face!

When he saw that person, Chang Sui's pupils suddenly shrank!

An indescribable deep fear surged in his heart, even causing his body to tremble slightly.

"How did you get here..."

laugh--!

Before he could finish his words, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard!

The attendant suddenly felt a chill in his throat.

He slowly raised his hand and touched his neck.

The texture is cold and sharp.

It was a Mitsubishi Dart.

He had seen this before, but it always happened to others. He didn't expect it would happen to him today.

The red silk cloth at the end fluttered gently in the wind, brushing against his neck, making it a little itchy.

Then it becomes sticky.

——Blood gushed out from his throat, quickly soaking the three-pointed dart, and even the silk cloth on it became heavy.

Tick.

Blood dripping.

His body slowly fell backwards.

Bang--!
