Chapter 424: Interlocking
There was only one line of beautiful but powerful small characters on the note: "Wait for Zhou Jianming to come over, pretend to be humiliated and take the pill, and die a moment later and commit suicide. Don't worry about the rest, I will make arrangements for you. When you wake up, you will be reborn. Trust me."
Inside the oil paper package was a pill the size of a longan seed, completely black in color, and emitting a strange bitter smell.
Liang Yuhua held the pill tightly, her fingertips were cold and her heart was beating wildly.
She read it over and over again, and every word burned into her heart like a branding iron.
She knew that the moment that would decide her fate was today!
Liang Yuhua took a deep breath, and the last trace of hesitation in her eyes was replaced by determination.
She poured a cup of tea, tore the note into pieces, put it into the tea, mixed it and drank it.
Without leaving a trace.
The taste was indescribably strange. In the past, she would have vomited.
But now she actually thought it tasted very good.
Then, Liang Yuhua hid the black pill in her purse and kept it close to her body.
Next, it’s all about waiting patiently, waiting for the predetermined signal - Zhou Jianming’s arrival.
-
The wedding banquet was in full swing in the front yard of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion. The aroma of wine filled the air, and the laughter and joy almost blew the roof off.
And deep in the relatively quiet backyard, a silent and precise operation was taking place simultaneously.
In the study of Lingshuiju, a dark shadow sneaked into the room silently, and he was looking for something in the bookcase very quickly.
Suddenly, a book accidentally fell to the ground, making a noise.
"Who is it?"
The black shadow knew that he was exposed, and like a frightened bird, he ran towards the west, trying to escape from here.
"There's a thief! A thief broke into the study!"
The guard standing outside the study noticed something unusual and shouted an alarm!
"Stop! Take him down!"
"Chase him! He's heading west!"
After Xuanying heard this, his face changed drastically.
"Someone, follow me."
Several guards with strong martial arts skills followed Xuanying and chased in the direction of the black shadow. Coincidentally, the direction in which the man in black fled was exactly the direction of Liang Yuhua's courtyard.
-
On a big tree outside the courtyard, the emperor's secret guard who was hiding in the branches like a flying bird frowned instantly.
His sharp gaze cast into the distance and clearly captured the black shadow fleeing in panic, as well as the several people chasing after it aggressively.
The person leading the way was Xuan Ying, the top expert beside Lu Jiangnian.
It’s terrible! Why did the man in black come here?
The emperor's task for him was to keep a close eye on Liang Yuhua and ensure that she, as his spy, was not out of control.
If this man in black were to make such a fuss, the tracking route would directly pass through the area where he was hiding.
Once they get close, with Xuanying's abilities, the risk of him being exposed is extremely high!
“Damn it!”
The secret guard cursed in his heart.
However, Xuanying and his group were getting closer and closer, and he could no longer stay here.
No matter what, he couldn't be exposed, so he had to retreat now.
The secret guard, like a real shadow, silently and extremely quickly landed from the tree to the nearby eaves. Using the complex roof structure and shadows, he quickly moved away from the courtyard area and hid himself completely.
As for Liang Yuhua...
It should be okay for a concubine who lives a secluded life and poses no threat to be out of sight for a while during the chaos of the wedding.
This is the time difference and psychological blind spot that Yuan Wanru carefully calculated!
-
At this moment, the wooden door of the courtyard was pushed open with a creaky sound.
Zhou Jianming, whose face was red from drinking and whose steps were unsteady, staggered in!
His eyes were gleaming with lust and excitement, "Hehehehe... beauty! I'm here to see you!"
Zhou Jianming, reeking of alcohol, brought Zhou Wang in and bolted the gate, isolating them from the outside world.
Liang Yuhua and Yunxiu were doing needlework in the house together. When Yunxiu heard the noise and came out, she saw the master and servant. Her face turned pale, but she still mustered up the courage to shout, "Get out! This is not a place for you to come!"
Zhou Jianming was drunk now, so how could he listen to what others said? He had only one thought in his mind, that he must get Liang Yuhua today.
"Wang'er, I'll leave this troublesome girl to you. Don't disturb my interest."
Zhou Wang naturally obeyed and turned Yunxiu aside.
Yunxiu yelled, "Girl, close the door quickly."
"You are so brave, what are you going to do?"
"The prince will not let you go!"
When Liang Yuhua heard Yunxiu's shouting outside, she had already taken the "fake death drug".
When Zhou Jianming saw the delicate beauty in the room, he became even more aroused.
"That bitch ruined my plan last time! Let's see who can save you today!"
"You...don't come over here!"
Liang Yuhua stepped back in fear, her voice trembling. She grabbed a porcelain bottle on the table and held it in front of her, "Zhou Jianming! Are you crazy? This is the Marquis's Mansion! You dare to mess around, aren't you afraid that the prince will be angry?"
"Prince?"
Zhou Jianming seemed to have heard a huge joke, and he sneered drunkenly, "He... he only has eyes for his tigress wife! He has long forgotten about you! Today... no one can care about this place!"
He suddenly lunged forward and reached out to grab Liang Yuhua's arm, "My little beauty... obey me... I will love you from now on..."
“Ah! Get out of here!”
Liang Yuhua screamed and used all her strength to smash the porcelain bottle in her hand towards Zhou Jianming!
Zhou Jianming tilted his head instinctively, but Liang Yuhua's aim was not good and she couldn't hit him at all.
But this kind of resistance made Zhou Jianming angry and ashamed: "Bitch! You have no shame!"
He lunged at her with a sly smile. Liang Yuhua dodged his attack by moving around the table and shouted, "Get out of here, you..."
"You are not afraid of the Crown Prince, but you are also not afraid of the Crown Prince's wife? She will definitely not let you go!"
When Zhou Jianming heard the words "Crown Prince's Wife", he became even angrier. That damn woman had threatened him time and again. If he had been courageous, he would have definitely tortured that bitch Yuan Wanru.
Zhou Jianming sneered: "Who will care about you today? You'd better be obedient, otherwise if you suffer, don't blame me for not being gentle enough."
Liang Yuhua calculated the time in her mind and shouted angrily: "Dreaming! I will never let you touch me even if I die!"
Zhou Jianming was a man after all, and there was not much space in the room. He took big strides and quickly caught Liang Yuhua.
The man grabbed Liang Yuhua's slender wrist with such force that she cried out in pain.
"You beast! I am your cousin's woman, how dare you do this to me! Let me go! Please let me go!"
Liang Yuhua struggled desperately, her voice filled with desperate cries.
This wasn't just acting, the way this man looked really scared her.
Why, hasn't the time come yet?
"Let go? Dream on!"
Zhou Jianming dragged her into the house and said, "What's the point of you being a widow like this? You haven't even tasted the taste of a man. Today I will make you feel like you are in heaven."
His other hand was restlessly pulling at Liang Yuhua's collar.
