The person had already arrived, and Princess Langhua grew increasingly anxious. Just as she was wondering whether to give Yunzhi some more juicy gossip, she saw Yunzhi reach out and rub her forehead, looking unwell.
Upon seeing this, Princess Langhua immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "Regent's Consort, are you feeling unwell? Would you like to rest in the pavilion over there?"
"I feel a little dizzy!" Yunzhi nodded, her face flushed, and she leaned against Rumei. However, she still followed Princess Langhua's hand and looked at the pavilion not far away.
The pavilion was located on the edge of the peony garden, surrounded by gauze curtains, making it impossible to see inside at a glance. The pavilion faced the peony garden, while its back connected to a corridor and a row of houses. Those houses were presumably for people to rest in.
Yunzhi glanced at it and then looked away, nodding and saying, "Alright, let's go rest over there for a while."
“Okay, I’ll take you there.” Princess Langhua’s voice was somewhat cheerful, but her face showed a worried expression as she said, “You look like you’re sick. Should we call a doctor to come and take a look?”
"No need, it's nothing, it's probably just from the heat." Yunzhi waved her hand, jokingly saying that if she called a doctor, how could she continue her act?
Of course, Princess Langhua was just saying it casually; even if Yunzhi said she would call a doctor, she wouldn't actually do it.
Soon, Yunzhi arrived at the pavilion. Inside, tea and fruit platters had already been prepared, and incense had even been lit, which smelled quite pleasant.
However, when this incense was combined with the ingredients in the tea that Yunzhi had drunk before, the effect was much stronger than that of the Hehuan Powder.
Inhaling this fragrance alone can cause unconsciousness. It must be said, Princess Langhua was quite well-prepared.
In that case, even if Rulan and Rumei are by her side, it will be useless; they will faint soon. At that time, the poison in her body will take effect, and others will be able to do whatever they want with her.
Yunzhi hadn't expected them to use such tactics against her, and her gaze turned cold. She did want to annul the engagement, but not in this way.
She wants to annul the engagement, but she also wants her reputation.
After seeing the person off, Princess Langhua didn't stay long, saying she had to entertain others and hurriedly left. However, shortly after she left, a furtive-looking man emerged from the house behind the pavilion.
Hearing the man's footsteps, Yunzhi knew the main event was about to begin.
So she glanced at Rulan and Rumei and gestured for them to pretend to faint.
Rulan and Rumei nodded, then lay down on the table.
The man, his face beaming with excitement, strode into the pavilion and reached out to lift the curtain. The people in the manor had promised him a thousand taels of silver if he could capture the beauty inside.
The man became increasingly excited at the thought that he would not only get a beautiful woman but also money.
Therefore, he quickly lifted the gauze curtain and slipped into the pavilion. When he saw Yunzhi sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
"He's here!" Yunzhi glanced at the man indifferently; he was clearly a beggar she'd found outside. It has to be said, this Princess Langhua is quite ruthless, actually sending such a man to humiliate her.
Unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed.
"You, you're alright?" The man looked at Yunzhi in shock, thinking that this was different from what had been said when they came to him. Wasn't this person supposed to have been drugged?
But the girl in front of me had clear eyes; she didn't look like she had been drugged at all.
