The sound of footsteps approached from afar, and one could tell there were quite a few people there. Faintly, one could even hear the voices of several women.
Chu Jinghuai sneered, tapped the ground, jumped up, and easily jumped over the courtyard wall while holding Chen Jingxi.
As soon as they left the courtyard, a group of guards with swords rushed in. Seeing the situation in front of the courtyard, their faces changed drastically and they shouted loudly: "Quickly go inside to see how Princess Su is doing."
Several guards rushed into the room, but found nothing. "Where is Princess Su?"
The guards, confused about the truth, looked at each other, completely confused about what was going on.
At this moment, Concubine Yao arrived with a group of people, "How is Concubine Su?"
As soon as she said this, she was certain that something had happened to Chen Jingxi.
The guards stepped aside to make way.
"Ah..." Many people cried out when they saw the tragic scene in the yard.
"What's going on?" Concubine Yao's face turned pale.
The guards knelt on one knee, bowed, and said, "We don't know either."
"Where is Princess Su?"
"Princess Su is missing."
"Gone?" Concubine Yao was so angry that the dead girl Chen Jingxi actually disappeared right under her nose.
"Go find it for me now."
"Princess Su, was she kidnapped?" someone whispered.
Concubine Yao's heart suddenly tightened. She took a step back and relied on the maid behind her for support, barely able to stabilize her body.
"Go report to the police first!"
Concubine Yao looked very panicked, but she knew better than anyone that Chen Jingxi could not have been abducted.
The people she arranged were already dead, and she had ordered that Princess Su be discovered having an affair, not kidnapped. So, where did Chen Jingxi go?
Could it be that she discovered that she had drugged and killed someone, and then staged this drama? If so, how deep must this person's mind be?
At this time, the guards of Prince Su's Mansion also arrived, "Greetings to all the concubines. My princess specially sent us here to look for the two girls by her side."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Huixian asked softly, "Where is your princess?"
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, my prince has come to take the princess back. The princess is now outside the garden."
"Then why is this? Why are these two people here?"
The guard explained, "Your Highness, you may not know this. When the princess heard that the prince had arrived, she was so happy that she forgot about the coat she had brought with her. These two girls were sent by the princess to retrieve it."
After hearing this, Concubine Huixian nodded.
The guard asked again, "Does Her Majesty have any other instructions? My princess is still waiting for the two girls to return."
"Nothing happened. It's just that the two of them encountered some accidents when they came back to get something." Concubine Huixian's gaze fell on Han Yu and the other person who were unconscious.
Upon hearing this, the guard cast a sharp glance at the two unconscious men and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? How can I explain this to the princess?"
Seeing this, Concubine Yao had to explain: "An assassin broke in just now and knocked them both unconscious."
"Where did the assassin come from? Why is he here? If my princess hadn't left in time, wouldn't she have met with misfortune as well?"
Concubine Yao sighed, "This assassin...I was negligent. I never expected something like this to happen."
The guard sneered, his tone revealing dissatisfaction and suspicion. "Your Highness, you think you can just brush this matter off with a simple 'oversight,'" he said. "Do you think our princess is too easy to bully? Just now, when we tried to enter the garden, the guards at the gate tried to stop us, yet now they've let this assassin in with ease. And these two people, they're not dressed like servants of the Plum Garden. Who are they?"
Concubine Yao was somewhat bewildered by the guards' barrage of questions and had no choice but to quickly explain, "This... this is indeed my fault. I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give the princess an explanation. As for these two people, I don't know their identities, but I will definitely find out the truth."
The guard snorted coldly, "This plum garden is vast, yet assassins and villains have chosen to find the place where my princess rests. I will report the princess's explanation to the prince truthfully."
Concubine Yao's face darkened and she angrily asked, "What do you mean? Are you questioning me?"
The guard had no expression on his face and replied in a cold tone: "That's what the Queen Dowager heard. We will take our leave now." After that, they turned around and left without giving Queen Dowager Yao any face at all.
"How dare you be so disrespectful to me, you bastard! I will report this to the Emperor and have Prince Su severely punished!"
Concubine Huixian's eyes turned cold, and she said in a deep voice: "Yao Caier, what did you do?"
Concubine Yao's momentum instantly weakened, and she whispered in defense: "Sister Huixian, I didn't do anything."
Concubine Huixian's tone was full of warning: "You'd better not do anything. Otherwise, I don't know how long the emperor can protect you." After saying that, she turned and left.
The people present were all shrewd people, and they had roughly understood what was going on. They didn't want to get involved in this dispute, so they all took their leave.
Concubine Yao stood there, watching everyone leave one by one. She couldn't understand why the plan had turned out like this when it was so flawless. She had confirmed that the medicine was fine.
Ye Nandie stepped forward and asked, "Madam Concubine, didn't you already drug her? Why..."
Concubine Yao glared at her fiercely, "Shut up!"
Ye Nandie took a step back timidly, muttering to herself: This Concubine Yao is useless, she can't even handle such a small matter.

Chu Jing carried Chen Jingxi into the carriage.
Chen Jingxi clung to him tightly, hugged his neck and bit him wildly.
The bite made Chu Jinghuai shudder, and he could hardly control himself, so he had to move the person away.
"Jingxi, wait a moment, we'll be there soon."
Chen Jingxi pouted her red lips slightly, her eyes seductive. After some tearing, her shoulders were half exposed. "I want it now..."
Chu Jinghuai sighed, closed his eyes, pressed the person in his arms, and put his hand between her skirts.
A moaning sound followed, mixed with the sound of wheels.
After a short while.
Chen Jingxi brought his face in front of her, and with a hint of pleading, she panted and called his name: "Jing Huai..."
"Um."
"I love you."
Chu Jinghuai was stunned and hugged him tightly. This was the first time she said she loved him without being seduced by him, even though she was a little unconscious now.
He is still happy.
The carriage soon arrived at the villa, which was previously prepared for Zhang and her family and happened to be nearby.
Chu Jing carried her into the room, placed her on the bed, and took off her clothes with his fingers.
Her thick, long, black hair fell on the pillow, and her exquisite and beautiful figure was fully revealed before his eyes.
A heat wave hit, and the fire that had just died down began to rage again...
Chen Jingxi helped him remove the restraints and placed her lips on him.
Chu Jinghuai raised his face slightly, narrowed his eyes, his eyes were full of confusion, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
