Qingyuan said softly, "As long as Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan haven't left the town, we will definitely be able to find them."
"I doubt we can find it," Princess Anle said in a deep voice. "Given Ye Junfei's personality, he must have made other arrangements in this town."
"Yu Zhan is so eager to dig up the whole town, but he still can't find any news about them."
"This proves that Ye Junfei was likely not affected by the poison and was wearing a human skin mask, blending in with the civilians or soldiers."
Grandpa Yu suggested, "How about we have everyone line up for inspection?"
Princess Anle shook her head: "Yu Zhan is cunning and hasn't completely pledged allegiance to us yet."
"It's fine to ask her to help find Ye Junfei, but she probably won't agree to have our people pinch the soldiers' faces one by one."
Qingyuan said thoughtfully, "Perhaps we can try the contact code that Poison Bee provided before."
Princess Anle wasn't too optimistic about it either: "Let's give it a try first."
After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then went to find Yu Zhan in person to ask him to pinch the soldier's face and to find Ye Junfei.
As Princess Anle had predicted, Yu Zhan did indeed refuse, but her refusal was relatively artistic: "There are too many people in the town."
"Besides soldiers, there were also civilians, and women in those civilian households."
"It's fine to pinch the face of soldiers and men, but for us rough men to pinch the face of women is just too frivolous."
After she finished speaking, she smiled and said to Princess Anle, "Your Highness was certain that Ye Junfei would go mad, so let's wait and see."
"I trust the princess's judgment, and I believe Ye Junfei will definitely go mad."
"Please rest assured, Princess, as soon as Ye Junfei goes mad, my people will definitely know."
“I will immediately send someone to kill him, so that he won’t harm any innocent bystanders.”
Princess Anle gave her a cold look, and she immediately clutched her wound, saying, "It hurts!"
"Lin Xiuyan injured me so badly today, she better not fall into my hands. I'm going to tear her to pieces!"
Princess Anle looked at Yu Zhan and said, "I am now providing you with a way to capture Lin Xiuyan. Whether you want revenge or not is up to you."
He turned and left after saying that.
Yu Zhan stared at his back for a moment, then clutched his wound and said, "Ouch, it hurts so much!"
"I have no strength left in my body. Someone, please call the doctor over and have him take a look at me."
"Which bastard smeared poison on his knife? I'll kill him later! Ouch, go easy on him!"
As she shouted, she glanced at Princess Anle out of the corner of her eye.
After Princess Anle left, she sat back down in her recliner and scoffed, "Threatening me?"
Do I look like someone who's easy to bully?
After she finished scolding, she said thoughtfully, "Princess Anle spoke with such certainty, so she must be at least 100% sure."
"But the thing Anle was hoping for hasn't happened yet. Doesn't that mean Ye Junfei is one step ahead?"
She chuckled and said, "This is getting interesting."
She leaned to the side, but her injury accidentally bumped into the chair next to her. She winced in pain and cursed, "Which bastard put this chair here?"
That night, everyone in the town was unable to sleep.
Princess Anle and Yu Zhan were busy capturing Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan, while the guards that Ye Junfei had brought were worried about them.
Wu Ge mingled among the patrolling soldiers, his heart filled with worry. He feared that something might have happened to Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan.
During his patrol, he overheard someone asking, "Is my wife beautiful?"
Wu Ge: "..."
He had previously found Ye Junfei's code words for action too offensive, and now it felt even more obvious.
Ye Junfei had already told him that the peddler was a traitor.
Hearing this, he smirked slightly. Since he had nothing better to do here, he might as well take care of the peddler.
So he whispered from the side, "No, my wife is Sweetie."
The person who asked the question glanced at him, and the two exchanged a look, then both revealed a knowing expression.
The two exchanged a secret signal and agreed to go and rescue Ye Junfei.
Wu Ge, thinking he was going to pull off something big, immediately made up an address for that person.
He saw the man make a gesture to someone next to him, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
He led the man into a house they had prepared beforehand, and as soon as the man went inside, he decisively stabbed him.
The man was none other than the peddler. He stared at Wu Ge with wide eyes, his gaze filled with incomprehension.
Wu Ge's lips curled slightly as he said softly, "Traitors don't deserve to live in this world."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, the Crown Prince already knows your identity, and the code for our operation tonight has been changed."
"Change it to 'My wife is an angel, no arguments allowed,' and the reply would be 'She is not only an angel, but also smart and cute.'"
The peddler stared wide-eyed, fell to the ground, and died with his eyes wide open, unable to close them in peace.
Wu Ge wiped the short knife in his hand, and then heard footsteps coming from outside.
He did not leave, but hid in the shadows.
After they all came in, he pulled the trigger that had been set up in the room, shooting all the intruders to death.
After finishing all this, Wu Ge said with some melancholy, "The Crown Prince is indeed very thoughtful, but where are the Crown Prince and Crown Princess now?"
It was already dawn, and Ye Junfei, who had been worried about Wu Ge, gradually regained his senses.
Although the drug is extremely potent when it takes effect, it does have a set time of action.
It usually takes no more than ten hours.
Lin Xiuyan had already helped remove a significant portion of Ye Junfei's poison, and coupled with Lin Xiuyan's special constitution, the time it took for him to wake up was shortened by more than half.
The redness in his eyes had gradually faded, revealing his black pupils, and his head was throbbing with pain.
He moved slightly and felt someone beneath him. He turned his head and saw Lin Xiuyan.
Memories of what happened with her last night flashed quickly through his mind.
He saw her tears and her pained expression.
Ye Junfei stood there, completely stunned. He had imagined their first time more than once, and in his imagination, it was always infinitely sweet and wonderful.
But last night's events had nothing to do with sweetness or beauty.
His feelings were extremely complicated, and he gently pulled her into his arms.
His movement woke Lin Xiuyan up as well. When she saw his dark pupils, she knew he had recovered.
She sniffed lightly, biting her lip, and said, "Ye Junfei, you bastard!"
At this point, Ye Junfei naturally let her scold him, and said softly, "What happened last night was not my intention."
He gently embraced her and said, "It's all my fault, you can scold me all you want."
Lin Xiuyan glared at him when she heard this. He was the one who did it, but he was also a victim.
It seems I can't quite bring myself to resent him.
