What he didn't expect was that the woman was also poisoned. Why weren't the secret guards able to find out when she entered the palace?
"Qiu Qiyi, you're such a loser! You can't even hold onto a woman, all you do is yell and scream. Do you think you're a dog?!"
Lin Yuxin was several meters away from them, a distance that would allow her to escape safely, so she started playing hard to get with Qiu Qiyi again!
Qiu Qiyi listened to Lin Yuxin's words and looked at his dozen or so soldiers, who couldn't even catch a single woman!
He suddenly felt incredibly humiliated, and his anger flared up again. He lost all reason, and all he could think about was how to catch that bitch and personally grind her to dust!
So he pointed at Lin Yuxin and gave the order:
"Go find more people for me! I refuse to believe we can't catch this wretch today!!"
"yes!"
One of the jailers, his eyes darting around, quickly stepped forward, responded, gave Lin Yuxin a wink, and then left.
Seeing that he had left, Lin Yuxin understood that he must have gone to inform Li Xiaochen and that he would not let anyone else in.
She had a better understanding of the situation, so she looked at Qiu Qiyi and suddenly gave a strange laugh, then said softly:
"Qiu Qiyi, didn't you want to know about the weapons of our Xia Kingdom? I'll show them to you right now, I guarantee you'll love them!"
As Lin Yuxin spoke, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a black sphere.
Qiu Qiyi didn't move. He looked at the sphere with puzzlement in his eyes. Was this the powerful weapon that Qi Jiguang had mentioned?
Why did he seem a little skeptical?
So he waved his hand, stopping the soldiers from advancing. He looked at Lin Yuxin and said coldly:
"Don't think that I'll let you off just because you're carrying a lump of iron. Since you say this is Xia Kingdom's new weapon, try it! Let me see it for myself."
Lin Yuxin's smile grew wider and wider; these were the words she had been waiting for.
"Sure! But don't regret it later!"
Lin Yuxin kindly offered a reminder.
Qiu Qiyi remained wary, taking two steps back and following behind several soldiers to prevent Lin Yuxin from launching a sneak attack and injuring him.
Lin Yuxin raised the black lump in her hand, hooked her other hand around an iron ring on the lump, and gently pulled it. White smoke rose from the black lump, though it wasn't much at first.
Qiu Qiyi glanced at Lin Yuxin with disdain:
"This is your powerful weapon? This is all you have!"
Lin Yuxin had held the bottle a bit far away after pulling the ring, but the smell still stung her eyes. Hearing Qiu Qiyi's disdainful voice, she rolled her eyes and said:
"Really? Why don't you give it a try?"
So he threw it directly in his direction.
The moment Lin Yuxin threw it out, the smoke inside the smoke bomb grew thicker and thicker, reaching their feet in a cloud of smoke comparable to that of a fire.
The moment Lin Yuxin threw it, she retreated to the spot where the rats had dug a hole, so she was temporarily unaffected by the smoke.
Qiu Qiyi and his group were in trouble, because the smoke was right under their feet. Qiu Qiyi thought it was just ordinary smoke, but now it was so strong that they couldn't open their eyes, and their eyes were stinging and watering. It was quite a sight!
No, the smoke is too thick right now, you can't see anything at all.
As the smoke thickened, they began to have trouble breathing.
Qiu Qiyi covered her mouth and nose, couldn't open her eyes, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Quickly, protect the Emperor!"
The soldiers around him, though blind and unable to see, remained loyal and wanted to protect the emperor. They searched here and there but couldn't find him.
One man touched the fabric of Eunuch Luo's clothes and thought that someone wearing such luxurious fabric must be the emperor. So, in order to gain merit, he carried Eunuch Luo and groped his way out.
He said as he walked:
"I've found the Emperor! Quickly, let's escort him out."
Upon hearing this, the other soldiers immediately surrounded the source of the sound and went outside together with Eunuch Luo.
In a daze, I think I bumped into something, but I didn't have time to care and we all ran out in a swarm.
They didn't care about the lives of the prisoners in jail.
Qiu Qiyi had just been bumped by a soldier and slammed into the wall. Combined with the overwhelming smoke, he couldn't take it anymore and passed out.
Seeing the thick smoke approaching, Lin Yuxin quickly took out a cloth and covered her face. She didn't want to wait any longer. Although the hole wasn't finished yet, she could still get through, even if it was tough.
Lin Yuxin lifted the weeds and saw a hole. Without hesitation, she climbed down.
However, because the rat was too small, it hadn't dug through yet, so the inside got narrower and narrower. When Lin Yuxin reached a point where she couldn't get through, she took out the hoe from her spatial storage and started digging.
The rats, suffocated by the smoke, fled outside. Sensing movement in their burrows, they came over to investigate. Seeing their boss, who was supposed to be giving them their share of the profits, actually doing the work himself, they realized their spoils were about to disappear.
So they came over to help, and with just the two of them and a few rats, it still took them half an hour to dig through the hole.
Lin Yuxin successfully climbed out, and she generously gave each of the eight rats two fruits. She only left after all the rats had left.
If we're talking about her leaving, she was just wandering around the palace. It would be quite difficult for her to leave the palace alone. That jailer must have gone to inform Li Xiaochen.
Should she go find the person Li Xiaochen mentioned to her, Chu Ci of the Imperial Guard?
She admired Li Xiaochen quite a bit. She felt that her man was really capable, managing to place someone of such high status in the Zhao Kingdom's palace.
With Chu Ci inside the palace and Bai Teng outside, she had a feeling that if Li Xiaochen wanted to, he could conquer the Zhao Kingdom in no time.
Lin Yuxin shook her head, trying not to think about these irrelevant things!
However, it wasn't a good time for her to go looking for Chu Ci right now. Chu Ci was the leader of the Imperial Guards and was responsible for the security of the palace every day. She didn't know when she would run into him.
If she were in the imperial court, it might be easier to meet her, but now that she's in this position, she doesn't even know where she is. But this remote place is probably somewhere in the inner palace, right?
Oh well, let fate decide! I'll find a place to hide first; maybe Li Xiaochen will find her then?
Lin Yuxin walked towards a less crowded area until she reached the entrance of a palace with the words "Cold Palace" written on it. Lin Yuxin stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then pushed the door open and went inside.
It seems she really has no choice but to hide here until Li Xiaochen and the others find her.
Once Qiu Qiyi comes to his senses, he will definitely search the entire palace for her. She should just stay here and hide!
I wonder how Li Xiaochen and Qiu Jingfan's plans are going?
Lin Yuxin had found a place to rest, but Qiu Qiyi was still causing a ruckus.
The soldiers were shocked to discover that the person they had been protecting was Eunuch Luo after they left the prison.
The Emperor was still inside! So everyone rushed in again in a panic, and after groping around for a long time, they finally managed to get Qiu Qiyi out and send him back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and then summoned the imperial physician.
