Chapter 348 Like a Little Fairy
Yuan Wanru tried to keep a straight face and said loudly, "Okay, no more nonsense, let's get down to business."
"Since you have made up your mind, I will do it now."
Her voice was soft, but it was firm and unquestionable.
She took out a porcelain bottle and opened it. Lu Jiangnian stood beside her and smelled a sweet and fishy scent coming out of the bottle.
Yuan Wanru ordered Shi Ying: "Have someone bring three cups of cold tea."
Quartz brought the tea quickly. Yuan Wanru controlled the tilt angle of the porcelain bottle and poured hair-thin poisonous insects into each cup of cold tea.
Tiny ripples appeared on the surface of the tea. The poisonous insects dissolved when they came into contact with water and merged with the tea in the blink of an eye. Only a barely perceptible trace of dark red remained swimming at the bottom of the cup.
Lu Jiangnian was so absorbed in watching that Yuan Wanru pushed him and said, "Give those three people a glass each. Fill it up."
He didn't say anything, picked up a cup of tea, and walked towards the three assassins.
They were sleeping very soundly, and had no response to anything around them. If it weren't for the rise and fall of their chests indicating that they were still alive, they would have looked like three corpses.
Xuan Qing had someone take out the poison from these people's teeth before. Lu Jiangnian pinched open the jaw of the first assassin, and the gurgling sound of tea pouring into his throat was particularly clear in the silent room.
His movements were quick and careful, ensuring that every drop was delivered accurately into the mouths of the three people.
After he finished all this, Yuan Wanru took out a purse and handed it to him: "This is the antidote for the drug."
Her voice was like the night wind blowing over the strings of a musical instrument. "Calculate the time. Feed them half an hour before the emperor sees you. They will wake up by then."
Then she handed him a purse embroidered with camellia flowers and said, "There are hallucinogens in it. Wear it on your body."
Yuan Wanru suddenly thought of something, took back the camellia purse, rummaged in the medicine box for a while, took out a pill and put it to Lu Jiangnian's mouth: "Antidote for hallucinogens, don't let yourself get confused and talk nonsense in front of the emperor."
"My lady, I was able to withstand the Lianzhi Gu. Will I lose my composure in front of the emperor because of the hallucinogen?"
Yuan Wanru nodded and praised him perfunctorily: "I know you are great. Isn't this just in case?"
"Then tell me, do you want to eat or not?"
What else can Lu Jiangnian say? It’s better to be safe than sorry. His wife is very thoughtful.
He opened his mouth and swallowed the pill from Yuan Wanru's hand.
Lu Jiangnian's performance made Yuan Wanru feel moved. This man really trusted her.
What if she gave him poison?
Yuan Wanru suddenly looked at Lu Jiangnian in panic, "Ah, I took the wrong one. This seems to be a strengthened version of hallucinogen. I made it into pills specially for emergency use. What should I do?"
Quartz didn't expect that the Crown Prince's wife would make such a mistake. Would the Crown Prince be going to scold her?
After all, it's a serious matter.
She nervously watched Lu Jiangnian's reaction. If the Crown Prince got angry and lost control and hit his wife, she would immediately go up and rescue the wife.
It was an unintentional mistake, made in a hurry, the prince cannot be too harsh on his wife.
As a result, we can only say that Quartz was completely worrying too much.
Lu Jiangnian was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and touched Yuan Wanru's head: "Then give me a few more detoxification pills to neutralize the drug's properties."
Yuan Wanru smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits, "I lied to you."
He looked at her and said lovingly, "My wife is so cunning. I was almost deceived by you."
quartz……
The self-indulgent person, that's her!
-
After laughing, Yuan Wanru handed the camellia purse to Lu Jiangnian again.
He whispered, "Madam, can you help me put it on, please?"
The ending tone is light and uplifting, as if acting coquettishly.
Yuan Wanru lowered her head obediently and helped him put on the purse.
As she tied the knot, she said, "If this hallucinogen is taken directly, I'm worried that their reaction will be too slow and arouse the emperor's suspicion."
"When you extract a confession from them in front of the emperor, it would be best if they bleed."
"When poisonous insects see blood, they go crazy. When that happens, you only need to get close to them and they will be powerless and tell you everything you know."
After a pause, she added: "Showing a struggle will make people more credible."
Lu Jiangnian listened attentively. He felt that the woman in front of him was still so elegant, gentle and moving when talking about these sinister means. But she was so familiar with them.
"My lady."
His throat rolled, and his voice softened unconsciously, "My wife is really like a little fairy. Any problem can be easily solved in your hands."
After saying this, he was stunned for a moment.
He now said these sweet words that made his teeth ache so naturally, as if he had already brewed them in his heart thousands of times.
Yuan Wanru's face also turned red, but because of the cover of night, people around her couldn't see clearly.
What little fairy? This title always feels a bit embarrassing.
She turned her face away and snorted, "Why are you talking about irrelevant things when you are talking about serious matters?"
When Lu Jiangnian saw her awkward look, he felt that all the conspiracy of the night seemed to become warm.
Before I knew it, it was almost five o'clock in the morning.
Lu Jiangnian's thumb gently stroked Yuan Wanru's palm, and the delicate touch made him reluctant to let go.
"It's all right now," he said in a low voice, with a hint of persuasion, "Go back and have some sleep, get enough rest, and I'll come back to pick you up and go back home together."
"I'll leave Xuanying and Xuanqing in the other courtyard. I'm going out now and preparing to go to the palace."
Yuan Wanru looked at the sky and saw that the morning star was still hanging in the sky: "If we go now, the prince probably won't be up yet."
The time for Da Jingchao to go to court was not too early, around noon.
If Lu Jiangnian sets out now, the city gates won't be open, and he's afraid he won't even be able to get into the inner city.
"Why don't you take a nap too?"
Yuan Wanru's meticulous and considerate care made Lu Jiangnian feel a warm current in his chest.
"The emperor is at my feet. There is an assassination attempt happening around me. Of course I have to rush to see him."
"Opportunities are fleeting, so don't waste them."
He couldn't help but squeeze her hand again, and said with a little pride in his voice: "Don't worry, my wife, I am in good health."
That's true.
Thinking about how many nights in the past month he had to get up to enjoy the cool breeze and reduce the dryness in his body, Lu Jiangnian couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth into a bitter smile.
Yuan Wanru noticed that he had a strange look on his face, and although she didn't understand what was going on, she stopped trying to persuade him.
"Xuanqing stays here, you take Xuanying with you, I have Shiying by my side, so we are not short of people."
"Also, don't come pick me up when you're done. I can go back by myself."
"That won't work!"
Lu Jiangnian suddenly raised his voice, then softened it again, "We obviously went out together, so of course we have to go back together."
He leaned in close, his nose almost touching her forehead, "Be obedient, sleep well, and wait for me."
The last sentence was said with extra solemnity, as if this was not a simple agreement but an oath that must be kept.
After saying this, he glanced at Yuan Wanru reluctantly, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance into his heart, and then he turned around and strode away.
This guy, even though they are together every day, still has to act so clingy that she sometimes feels embarrassed.
Yuan Wanru cleared her throat and said to Quartz who was not far away: "Let's go back."
