The palace maid was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What did the county lady say?"
Tian An smiled innocently and said, "Oh! I mean, maybe you took the wrong road?"
The maid's eyes panicked for a moment, then she quickly calmed down, "How could that be? I'm very familiar with this road."
"Really? But I'm also very familiar with the way from the Imperial Garden to the Yaoguang Palace! I remember it only took a quarter of an hour to get there." Tian An asked with an innocent look on his face.
Seeing this, the palace maid hurriedly explained, "Oh! Because there are wine stains on the county lady's skirt, I was afraid that you would lose your composure if you met other young men and women, so I deliberately took a detour to a less crowded road. We will be there soon."
Tian An curled his lips and smiled: "Then you are really thoughtful."
The palace maid heard the sarcasm in Tian An's words and thought she had discovered something. She used the light of the lantern to observe her expression out of the corner of her eye, but it was clearly normal.
He could only dispel the doubts in his heart and continue to lead the way, but his pace was obviously much faster.
Tian An didn't say anything and continued to follow her not too far away.
Finally, after a while, the palace maid saw a lit palace in front of her. Tian An clearly felt her relief, as it seemed that they had reached their destination.
Sure enough, the next second, the maid was seen clutching her stomach. With a look of pain on her face, she turned around and said to Tian An, "County Lady, I'm suddenly feeling sick. How about you go to the side hall over there and wait for me? Don't worry, it's an empty hall, no one will be there."
Tian An acted harmless and pretended to care about her, "Are you okay? How about I take a look at you? My medical skills are pretty good."
She was obviously nervous for a moment, and quickly pulled back Tian An's hand to cover her stomach, still looking shy, "County Lady, I might have diarrhea, it will be fine after going to the toilet."
Tian An suddenly understood and cooperated: "Okay! Then we'll wait for you over there."
Then, without her urging, he took Deng Xue to the side hall of the empty palace in front and closed the door in front of her.
The maid stood still, no longer pretending to have a stomachache. She straightened up with a smug smile on her face, "You thought you were so smart! But you were tricked by me."
At this time, another palace maid came out from behind her and asked, "Is it done?" Tian An would be able to recognize that this was the palace maid who had kicked the stone secretly before.
The maid raised her chin and pointed towards the palace ahead, curling her lips and saying, "Don't worry! I saw her go in with my own eyes."
The maid who kicked the stone nodded and said, "Okay, you continue to watch here. I will go and bring Young Master Jiang over."
As soon as they entered the side hall that the palace maid mentioned, Tian An took out a medical-grade self-priming filter mask and covered the mouths and noses of both of them tightly.
Then he walked around the house and found a very strong aphrodisiac and incense in the incense burner.
The amount of incense was not large, and it was probably mainly used to deal with her and prevent her from leaving the room.
By the time the next person comes in, the incense has burned out, leaving only the aphrodisiac incense, which will not affect the next person's "work".
No wonder he was so confident in letting her come in on her own, it turned out he had been prepared for this!
Tian An pursed his lips, somewhat disdaining the fragrance. The taste was so strong and it was made so roughly, wouldn't it be easily discovered?
Or maybe they weren't afraid of her finding out at all. By then her innocence would be ruined, so who would care whether she was drugged or not?
At that time, she would either commit suicide with a white silk scarf, or become a nun, or accept the man "they" arranged for her.
I was itching to add some ingredients to the incense.
Tian An finally had time to wonder who was behind this and what kind of man would be assigned to her in the end? A beggar? A guard? Or...
Just as she was wondering, she heard the door creak open and Zhao Yiming and Jingyu came in, uh... and the person Jingyu was carrying on his back.
Tian An quickly gave each of them a mask and put them on before looking at the person on Jingyu's body.
It was actually Yonglin.
Tian An pointed at Yonglin and said, "So she planned what happened today?"
Zhao Yiming let Jingyu throw Yonglin to the ground, then pulled Tian An out of the room and said, "Things are a bit complicated. Hongtong is waiting for you out front. Go change your clothes first."
After leaving the room, Tian An collected masks from several people and followed the direction Zhao Yiming pointed. Sure enough, he soon saw Hongtong who had been waiting there early.
Zhao Yiming, who stayed at the original place, took Jingyu to clean up everything, then took a deep look at the palace in front of him where the lights were still on, and left before the Qishi Palace maiden came back.
The palace maid who was in charge of watching Tian An rubbed her sore eyes and stood up from the tree trunk in confusion.
"Strange, how could he fall asleep leaning against a tree trunk?"
Originally, she was afraid of accidents and wanted to go and confirm in person whether Tian An was still in the side hall.
But before he could even take a step out, the palace maid who had gone to call "Young Master Jiang" came back with the young master Jiang. "Nothing unexpected happened, did you?"
She thought that it wouldn't take long for the maid to go and fetch someone, so there shouldn't be any accidents. So she said casually, "What kind of accidents could happen?"
After hearing their conversation, the young master surnamed Jiang immediately ran to the side hall in an anxious manner.
The two palace maids waited outside the house for a long time. Apart from the rustling sound of clothes being taken off, they did not hear Young Master Jiang speak, so they locked the house and left with peace of mind.
Soon, two quarters of an hour passed, and thinking that the matter was done, the palace maid who had kicked the stone returned and quietly removed the lock on the door.
She moved very gently, not disturbing the men and women who were still fighting inside.
Almost at the same time as she left the side hall, someone came over here.
The palace maid who had just taken Tian An to change her clothes was now trotting over here with an anxious look on her face, leading all the concubines, even the queen and the queen mother, and behind them was a large group of young men and women.
When they reached the side hall, she finally stopped and pointed at the door, saying, "The Princess of Anping suddenly fainted and was convulsing all over. I could only bring her here to rest while I went to call for help."
Everyone was running out of breath. When they stopped, they didn't even bother to talk and could only gasp for breath.
That is, while everyone was catching their breath, the concubines in the front row seemed to hear some indescribable sounds coming from the side hall.
They were all smart people in the harem, and they understood what was happening inside almost instantly.
Seeing that the palace maid was about to open the door, he wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
The palace maid pushed the door open with a bang, and then ran into the room without thinking, looking anxious.
Then she screamed in fear, "Ah...you, who are you? Why are you here? What did you do to the county lady?"
