Old Chen walked out of the corridor for a while and still felt something was off; the flowers just didn't look right.
Flowers transported from Tuyuhun would take at least half a month to arrive, so how could they still be so vibrant, let alone have any calming or soothing effects?
That idiot has probably been tricked. Maybe he was sold to Lin Yan'an by someone who intended to harm the young master.
Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and walked towards Lu Cijian's room.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw a figure flash past the wide-open window. He immediately shouted, "Who's there? Stop! Guards! There's an assassin in the Prince's mansion!"
As soon as these words were spoken, guards and secret agents from the Prince's residence quickly went to give chase.
Wang San rushed in from outside, his gaze falling on the flowers on the table. He frowned and asked, "What is this?"
As he spoke, he picked up the flower and sniffed it.
Old Chen quickly scolded, "Don't move! There's something wrong with that flower. Throw it away!"
After saying that, he hurriedly checked Lu Cijian's pulse and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no problem.
His gaze swept around the room, and he frowned, asking, "Where is the princess?"
Wang San was taken aback and hesitated before asking, "Haven't you been taking care of the young master all this time?"
Old Chen then realized something and immediately thought to himself, "The princess has disappeared. That man is after the princess. Quickly, order the people to seal off Weizhou and capture him at all costs."
Wang Sanzhi quickly responded and ran outside.
Old Chen then looked at Lin Yan'an, who was lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
He only stepped forward to check the other person's pulse to make sure they weren't dead before quickly shaking them.
But the person seemed to be fast asleep, showing no signs of waking up.
Enraged, he slapped the other person's face hard, but the person still didn't open their eyes.

When Jiang Yimian woke up, she was blinded by the glaring sunlight outside.
To make matters worse, I felt dizzy and lightheaded, and I couldn't muster any strength in my body. I could only feel the bed beneath me shaking incessantly.
She remembered that after smelling those strange flowers with Lin Yan'an, she felt dizzy and lightheaded, and wanted to go out to call for help, but then she lost consciousness.
She frowned, and with all her might, struggled to sit up in bed, only to find that it wasn't the bed shaking, but the whole room was swaying slightly.
She is currently inside the cabin.
Outside the window was a corridor, from which one could see the ship's railings and the azure sea.
Why would she end up at sea?
Just as I was wondering what was going on, the tightly closed door was pushed open from the outside.
She glanced warily at the person who approached, but paused for a moment when she recognized them.
The newcomer was dressed in simple black brocade, with a smile in his eyes and brows, and the red coral beaded necklace at his waist was particularly noticeable. Who else could it be but Aguzan?
Jiang Yimian only looked at him coldly, her tone unfriendly, "What do you want to do?"
Aguzan was somewhat surprised. Far from being frightened by her coldness, he took a few steps forward and stood directly by the bedside, exclaiming, "You are the first person to wake up within a day after being poisoned by the Tuyuhun secret medicine. Princess Ning'an is truly extraordinary."
"Are you hungry? I brought you some food."
As he spoke, he waved towards the door.
A young man walked in from outside, carrying a tray in his hand.
Jiang Yimian was taken aback when she saw the man. It was clearly the strong man who had stood next to Aguzan at the Yan Archery Banquet.
However, the person was now very thin. If it weren't for that face, she would never have equated this person with the person from before.
The young man placed the tray on the table and respectfully withdrew.
Jiang Yimian simply stared coldly at the person in front of her, "Weren't all those Tuyuhun people in the palace dead? What about that person?"
She remembered that A-Jian had said that all the Tuyuhun envoys were dead.
Now that person is here perfectly fine.
She didn't think A-Jian would lie, and the guards inside the palace walls wouldn't let such a grown person leave.
Aguzan was able to leave the palace despite his injuries and go to find her; that was Xie Jingxuan's deliberate doing.
But how did that person escape?
Aguzan didn't say anything, but picked up the porridge on the tray and handed it to Jiang Yimian, smiling as he said, "This is the first time I've served someone porridge."
As he spoke, he sat down on the edge of the bed, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and offered it to Jiang Yimian's lips.
However, the next second, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Jiang Yimian plunged the curved dagger in her hand into the other man's chest and said coldly, "What do you want to do? If you don't explain clearly, I'll kill you right now."
This guy has been acting strangely ever since he came to Weizhou. Not only has he not shown his face around them, but he also tried to stop her from going to suppress the bandits that night.
She hadn't taken it seriously at first, thinking this person had left Weizhou long ago. Unexpectedly, he was still there, and now he had even kidnapped her. She wondered what his purpose was.
Aguzan raised an eyebrow at the curved dagger on his chest, put down the porridge in his hand, and simply held Jiang Yimian's hand, effortlessly prying open the hand that was tightly gripping the dagger.
“The princess has so many secrets. I ordered a thorough search, but we still missed this dagger. It’s really strange.”
Fortunately, no one could cure the secret medicine of Tuyuhun, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have really died at the hands of the princess.
However, I am rather curious. The princess is so powerful, yet she possesses absolutely no internal energy. That's truly strange.
Aguzan spoke calmly, showing no anger at Jiang Yimian's threat. Instead, he smiled and drew the dagger from his chest, flippantly using it to lift her chin.
Jiang Yimian simply tilted her head to avoid the other person's movements, her gaze falling on the dagger, which was clean and free of any bloodstains.
She frowned, her face growing even paler.
She had used all her strength just now, yet she hadn't managed to hurt the other party in the slightest.
I don't know what kind of drug she was given.
Seeing that her wrist was still being held by the other person, she tried to struggle but couldn't break free.
Aguzan just smiled, his eyes full of interest. "Princess, don't be afraid. I have never had any ill intentions towards you. In fact, I admire you very much."
The man spoke earnestly, but his face held a hint of amusement, and his eyes showed no trace of affection, only undisguised, pure desire.
Jiang Yimian only looked at him coldly and sneered, "Second Prince, you are joking. You can have any kind of woman you want. Don't waste your time on me."
Besides, Tuyuhun isn't yours yet. If you were to break ties with the Great Jin now, the Second Prince probably couldn't handle it.
She didn't believe that this person would kidnap her just because he was interested in her; he must have had other motives.
Aguzan merely raised an eyebrow, released her hand, and said with a smile, "Princess, you're really boring. I'm quite curious whether you treat Lord Lu with the same ruthlessness as you treat me?"
