Liu Zhiyi was in so much pain that she hadn't been sleeping well to begin with. This woke her up immediately.
In the darkness, she saw a dark shadow sneaking in through the open window.
She was so frightened that she dared not breathe. She reached for the drug bag in her arms and heard the familiar voice of the man.
"It's me, don't be afraid, girl."
These movements also awakened Shen Ningzhu.
She subconsciously jumped up and stretched out her hand to block Liu Zhiyi, "Who are you? Who sent you here? What is your purpose?"
The man is tall and has an imposing demeanor.
Although his appearance could not be seen clearly, he could not hide the aura of a superior. Liu Zhiyi took her arm and comforted her, "Don't be nervous, I have seen this man before, and I saved his life today."
Men also accept the Tao,
"You are right, young lady. I was ill today and my life was hanging by a thread. It was you who passed by and saved me."
"My people were anxious to take me back to see a doctor, so they left in a hurry."
"After returning, I asked them to check on the girl. I wanted to send her the medical fee, but I didn't expect that the girl would suffer because of me.
I feel truly sorry for this, so I came here tonight to offer you the life-saving elixir as an apology."
Shen Ningzhu was a little puzzled.
"Why don't you carry the life-saving pills with you, and let others save you?"
And, "There's no one else here, why are you still wearing a mask?"
He climbed up a woman's window in the middle of the night, dressed like a coal ball and wearing a mask. He didn't look like a good person at all. Shen Ningzhu was skeptical about what he said.
The man in black touched the back of his head awkwardly, "I... forgot to bring it with me. I didn't want to be so unlucky and happened to be sick, so..."
Shen Ningzhu: ...
This guy is tall and handsome, and looks like he is both civil and military, but he actually made such a low-level mistake?
I'm impressed that he could even forget such a life-threatening thing. After thinking for a moment, he took the pill and handed it to Liu Zhiyi. Seeing her eyes light up and nod, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly I felt a little embarrassed and said,
"I'm sorry, the situation is special, so I'm being so cautious. Please forgive me if I'm offended."
The other party shook his head to indicate that it was okay.
"By the way, today I will grant Miss Liu a wish. Now that you are imprisoned, do you need my help?"
The two best friends looked at each other.
Chen Ningzhu was a little hesitant. This man appeared very suddenly, and they knew nothing about his identity and background. They couldn't just trust him foolishly just because he took out a pill, right?
What if you just escaped from the tiger's den and fell into the wolf's den?
Then Liu Zhiyi said cautiously, "Well, if I say we want to leave the Prince's Mansion, do you have a solution?"
There was a flash of surprise in the other person's eyes, but he nodded affirmatively, "Yes."
Chen Ningzhu was shocked: This big brother is awesome, he even dares to steal the prince’s woman, please accept her knees.
Liu Zhiyi was a little embarrassed.
"Will it be too much trouble? He is the crown prince after all. What if he gets you into trouble..."
"It's okay, don't worry. Just tell me how you want to leave."
Liu Zhiyi: "Death escape."
"It means faking death to escape." Shen Ningzhu explained.
The other party nodded.
"I still need to prepare for this matter, so it will probably take some time. I'll have someone search for two female corpses that look similar to you two."
"We can only make arrangements after we find one."
Before leaving, the man left a specially made jade whistle to Liu Zhiyi, telling her that if she had any problems, she could blow it and he would come to see her at night, and then left.
Hope was rekindled in the hearts of the two best friends.
Chen Ningzhu got out of bed and brought some boiled water, and Liu Zhiyi swallowed the pills with the water.
Chen Ningzhu: "Xiaoyi, do you know this person?"
Liu Zhiyi: "I don't know, but the pill he took out is extremely precious and can be said to be priceless.
And you and I, besides our beauty, don't have anything else to offer. He wouldn't be so blinded by lust that he'd use such a precious pill to deceive us, right?
That being said.
But... he dared to go against the prince, and he could casually take out such precious pills to give to others. It can be seen that his identity must be extraordinary.
Liu Zhiyi: "Zhuzhu, we have already torn our relationship with Jiang Qingyi. After today, she will definitely spare no effort to kill us both.
And she has done a great favor to the Dog Prince, so the Dog Prince protects her more."
They can no longer stay in the Prince's Mansion.
Shen Ningzhu sighed.
The only thing we can do now is to escape from the Prince's Mansion first. As for the future... let's take it one step at a time.
After coming to their senses, the two happily fell asleep again.
Across the courtyard was a wall, and Song Hanchuan stood tall and slender, quietly in the dark corner.
Qingyun beside him grumbled unhappily.
"Master, aren't you too concerned about that girl? You only met her once at the palace banquet, so why would you give away the life-saving elixir?
Do you know how rare that elixir is?"
The man said calmly, "She also saved my life."
Qingyun rolled his eyes speechlessly.
How is that a life saver?
He had medicine but refused to take it, and even deliberately caused the disease to flare up, so he could be considered a life-saving favor? This was clearly an accidental encounter deliberately designed by his master, okay?
Unexpectedly, by some mistake, the girl was punished.
Actually, it's his fault.
It was because his information was wrong, that's why... When Qingyun thought of this, he felt extremely guilty and didn't dare to speak anymore.
After a long while, Song Hanchuan said calmly, "Go back."
…
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and I had a dreamless night.
Little did they know that if it weren't for the packet of powder, they might have died in the mouth of the poisonous snake that night.
Jiang Qingyi didn't sleep all night. Every time she waited, the snake she put in disappeared and there was no movement in the house. She was so angry that she smashed all the precious ornaments in the room.
After daybreak, I heard that the prince had entered the palace.
Jiang Qingyi asked the servants to dress her up carefully and planned to go to the abandoned courtyard to find out what was going on.
She still couldn't believe that so many poisonous snakes couldn't hurt those two slaves. How did they do it?
…
Chen Ningzhu and Liu Zhiyi were still dreaming in their bed when they heard a scream that pierced the sky, which was so deafening.
Shen Ningzhu suddenly jumped up, and Liu Zhiyi quickly covered her mouth and shook her head at her.
After a period of chaos, the yard returned to silence. Only then did Liu Zhiyi let go of Chen Ningzhu and said with a sinister smile.
"Look, someone got their comeuppance."
Chen Ningzhu:???
Liu Zhiyi explained that if nothing unexpected happened, Jiang Qingyi must have been bitten by a poisonous snake.
"Humph, I knew she had bad intentions. Yesterday, she tried every possible means to persuade His Royal Highness to keep us, and even hinted that His Royal Highness should send us to this abandoned courtyard.
I guess she had bad intentions, so she took advantage of the others not noticing and sprayed her with the powder that snakes and insects like."
Liu Zhiyi has been extremely vengeful since she was a child. The beating she received yesterday did not go in vain.
