The woman in front of him, dressed in the clothes of a barbarian palace maid, had a slender figure. Even though she was so thin that she was almost unrecognizable, one could still see a familiar look in her brows.
Looking at the pair of eyes that suddenly lit up, Wei Yunlan couldn't help but feel excited.
"cousin!"
She thought that she was in a hurry today and failed to find her cousin Princess Changning in Jingyang Palace, so she would not have the chance to meet her this time.
I didn't expect to see it here.
Apparently, my cousin had been here with Zou Yun and the others for a while.
"Yunlan, are you hurt?" Princess Changning stepped forward, grabbed Wei Yunlan's sleeve with her slender fingers, and looked her up and down carefully.
Seeing that there were a lot of blood stains on her clothes and a strong smell of blood on her body, he couldn't help but frown in worry.
"It's not my blood." Wei Yunlan explained simply, looking around at the remaining people in the warehouse, "Everything is going well in Jingyang Palace. Right now, the Northern Barbarian Chanyu and King Helian and others are still trapped there, but it won't be long before they can get out."
Although the fire was huge and the scorpions were terrifying, there were still so many people around Shanyu and King Helian. With a little more effort, they could eventually get them out of Jingyang Palace.
The time left for them was not much, but it was enough to leave the palace and clean up the mess without leaving any hidden dangers.
"Everything is going well on our side. Chen Yan has already led a group of people into the secret passage." Zou Yun said, and winked at the two Tianshu Pavilion guards beside him. The two men immediately covered their faces with scarves, stepped out, and cleaned up the traces left by everyone in the vicinity.
There were less than ten people left guarding the entrance to the secret passage.
Wei Yunlan glanced at Bai Mingwei who was holding the arm of the Fourth Miss Bai, and guessed that this person should be the eldest Miss Bai who was abducted to the Northern Barbarians. He nodded slightly to indicate, and then nodded to the Fourth Miss Bai who was looking at him eagerly as if she had something to say, and pointed to the entrance of the secret passage, "Let's talk while we walk, let's leave here first."
Miss Bai Si pulled Miss Bai Da into the secret passage.
Wei Yunlan also stepped onto the stairs leading down, but found that Princess Changning and her personal maid were still standing there without moving.
"cousin?"
"Yunlan, I can't leave." Princess Changning shook her head. After a subtle struggle, her eyes were filled with determination. "You guys go quickly, don't waste time."
Seeing that Wei Yunlan seemed to be about to persuade him, he interrupted her and said, "You burned down Jingyang Palace and Sile Garden where Miss Bai and the others were, and created a scene where everyone in Sile Garden was burned to death. Chanyu may have some doubts, but his main focus will definitely be on Jingyang Palace."
"If I hadn't disappeared, they could still say that the incident at Si Le Yuan was just an accident in tonight's incident. But if I disappeared, it would clarify the direction of their investigation and confirm the purpose of tonight's incident."
Princess Changning explained her reasons in one breath. She spoke so quickly that she gasped for breath and her face turned pale.
"Yun Lan, I am satisfied to see you today and to see you rescue these Dayong women. I have no other requests."
"I will take Xianglian back to the bedroom now. You guys should leave quickly." Princess Changning said, and turned to walk out.
"Cousin, wait a moment." Wei Yunlan called out to her.
She understood that her cousin's words were all from the bottom of her heart and were also the actual situation that everyone was facing now.
But she knew she couldn't bear to watch her cousin return to the Northern Barbarian Chanyu and endure endless torture.
"Yunlan, don't let your emotions get the better of you." Princess Changning frowned, with a look of unquestionable determination on her face.
"I don't want to take you away, but there is a way that may temporarily resolve the current predicament." Wei Yunlan asked Miss Bai Da and Miss Bai Si to go down the secret passage first, while he stayed at the entrance of the secret passage and gave quick instructions.
This wasn't a thought that had just occurred to her.
But it was an idea that he had been thinking about since he learned from Yu Qi that his cousin was also in the accompanying team.
"My cousin is already weak. You can take advantage of the incident in the palace today to have another serious illness and pretend that you are incurable and will not live long. This way, the Northern Barbarian Chanyu will not be able to take you on the journey."
This is the best solution Wei Yunlan can think of now.
Whether it was the poisonous scorpion or the thing that caused the fire in Jingyang Palace, they all came from her space. No matter how the barbarians investigated, they could not find out the truth.
As the Northern Barbarian Chanyu grew older, he became more cautious and suspicious, and would never put himself in unknown danger for a long time. If the investigation yielded no results, the most likely thing would be to leave the Helian tribe as soon as possible.
One was in a hurry to leave, the other was dying and couldn't move freely.
As long as the Northern Barbarian Chanyu does not want to send troops to Dayong now, he can only leave my cousin behind for the time being.
In this way, my cousin and the Chanyu can be separated first.
As for what to do after the separation, we can think about it slowly and steadily!
"Zou Yun, I remember that among the secret medicines that Tianshu Pavilion mixed from the Holy Moon Sect, there is one that can weaken a person's pulse?"
"Yes." Zou Yun took out a packet of powder from his arms. "It's colorless and tasteless. Just sprinkle a fingernail of it into the water and dissolve it. You may feel drowsy after taking it, but there are no other side effects."
Zou Yun handed the powder directly to Princess Changning.
The two Tianshu Pavilion guards who had been sent out to clean up the mess also returned to the warehouse at this time.
"The fire at Jingyang Palace has shrunk a bit. The Shanyu's personal soldiers and palace patrols who stayed outside the palace gate have all rushed over to put out the fire."
Soon, the Northern Barbarian Chanyu and King Helian who were trapped in Jingyang Palace would be rescued. By then, the guards would begin to search other places in the palace.
There is no time to delay any longer.
"Heiyun." Wei Yunlan called out hurriedly, and his shiny black head moved closer.
Wei Yunlan reached out and rubbed its head, then said, "Help me take my cousin back. Remember, don't let anyone see you on the way."
"Woof." A low dog bark, as if responding to "Got it".
Princess Changning looked down in surprise.
This dog can actually understand human commands like the northern wolfhounds driven by the barbarians?
Now is not the time to be curious about these things.
Princess Changning put the medicine bag in her arms, left a message "Take care, Yunlan", and quickly followed the black cloud that had already rushed out of the door.
At the same time, the last few people left outside the secret passage also closed the warehouse door and entered the secret passage one after another.
Wei Yunlan deliberately stayed until the end. After the entrance to the secret passage was completely closed, she moved the wooden box full of silk that had been pressed above the entrance out of the space and pressed it back to its original place.
Even the fine layer of dust covering the ground was completely restored.
There is not a single flaw, as if no one has been here for a long time.
