"Therefore, I need to approach her with a different persona. If necessary, I will lead her out of the secret room and lower her guard..."
Su Yujiao explained her plan, even outlining several alternatives, and asked Nan Sheng to cooperate and act according to the circumstances.
The secret room was underground. After disguising herself, Su Yujiao hid outside the door.
She didn't go in herself, but instead sent the disguised woman from the Empress's side, who was dressed as the Crown Prince, into the secret room.
A good method is worth using many times, as long as it works.
When Chen Yunniang saw the Crown Prince enter, she said sarcastically, "Heh, is there some chaos outside that the Crown Prince has come to personally oversee things?"
Unexpectedly, the prince spoke in a woman's voice: "Miss, my master has sent me to rescue you."
Chen Yunniang's pupils contracted; it was actually a woman?
Then, a look of ecstasy and curiosity flashed in the woman's eyes.
"Whose side are you on?"
The fake Nan Sheng took out a jade pendant from her sleeve, which was Chu Zhongyuan's personal possession.
"Miss, there's no time to waste."
"So as not to arouse suspicion from outsiders."
"I will dress up as you, and you will dress up as the Crown Prince. There will be someone waiting outside the door. If you go with her, you will be able to escape smoothly."
"Why doesn't Your Highness lead your men to attack?"
"Why did you use this method to save me?" she probed.
The woman in disguise replied respectfully, "This subordinate is unaware. I will do whatever Master instructs."
Chen Yunniang hesitated for a few seconds, then decisively agreed.
There couldn't be anything worse than this; she dreamed of leaving this awful place.
Moreover, once she leaves, the whole world will be hers.
She absolutely has to get out!
"Let's begin."
"yes."
Soon, the woman in disguise transformed Chen Yunniang into Nan Sheng, and then stripped naked to impersonate Chen Yunniang.
When Chen Yunniang went out of the secret room, she found that all the guards outside the door had been knocked down, leaving only a thin eunuch standing outside.
Su Yujiao was the gaunt eunuch; she exchanged secret codes with Chen Yunniang.
"This way, miss."
"Um."
The two escaped the underground chamber successfully, and the guards at the door bowed to Chen Yunniang, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."
"Mmm," Chen Yunniang murmured in a low voice.
Chen Yunniang originally intended to leave the palace swaggeringly with Nan Sheng's face on her back, but unexpectedly, she suddenly experienced unbearable abdominal cramps halfway there.
Su Yujiao was also in pain, but the poison acted directly on Chen Yunniang's body, so its effect on her was only half, and she could still endure it.
"What's wrong, young lady?"
"Your stomach hurts; you probably ate something that upset your stomach."
Eating moldy and sour steamed buns in a stuffy room all day long, it's no wonder they get stomach aches.
“Young lady, I have some medical knowledge. Why don’t we hide away first, and I will treat you a little?”
"This...it's alright, I can still endure it. Let's leave the palace first." Chen Yunniang only wanted to leave the palace now.
"But... alright, I'll help you walk."
As a result, the two had only taken a few steps when a guard came over to inquire about the situation and asked if they should call a witch doctor.
These words frightened Chen Yunniang so much that she quickly waved her hands, but her stomach pain grew worse and worse, to the point that she could barely stand.
After seeing off the first wave of patrolling guards, the 'little eunuch' advised again, "Miss, you should find a place to hide. If you run into the real Crown Prince, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"It would be better to find a place to hide, stabilize the condition first, and then it will be easier to escape after nightfall."
Chen Yunniang was in so much pain that her face turned deathly pale, her teeth chattered, and she didn't even have the strength to speak. She could only nod weakly.
“Miss, go this way. There’s an abandoned palace over there that’s said to be haunted. Nobody goes there normally.”
"good."
Su Yujiao successfully helped Chen Yunniang to the Cold Palace.
“Miss, I only have hemostatic medicine, sleeping potion, and several kinds of poison on me. I don’t have any painkillers.”
"Why don't you try Mafeisan, young lady? This medicine can make you drowsy and numb the pain."
"After you fall asleep, I will go to the garden to see if I can find any herbs to relieve the pain."
Chen Yunniang was in excruciating pain and was barely conscious, so naturally she did whatever Su Yujiao said.
Moreover, she had studied some medicine and served as a military doctor in Lu Ziqian's army camp, so she naturally knew the effects of anesthetic powder.
Su Yujiao fed her Mafeisan, which was actually a painkiller.
I must alleviate her pain, otherwise I will also be in pain and unable to concentrate on hypnotizing her.
Chen Yunniang felt much better after taking painkillers, and as she drifted into a semi-conscious state, Su Yujiao began to hypnotize her.
Soon, Chen Yunniang was hypnotized, while Su Yujiao remained conscious.
Su Yujiao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the sleepless nights didn't affect her, otherwise it would have been really difficult to handle.
After all, Nan Sheng and Zhang Xin don't understand hypnosis, so it's uncertain whether they can get any useful information out of them.
"Chen Yunniang, your plan has failed. Su Yujiao has already found a way to break the Thousand Threads Gu."
"As long as we capture Chu Zhongyuan and burn the mother Gu inside the copper bell, all the problems will be solved."
"Impossible." Chen Yunniang answered her question in her dream, her eyes tightly closed.
Chen Yunniang was still in slight pain, and upon hearing these words, she drifted into a dream of being hurt.
"Do you think Su Yujiao can't catch Chu Zhongyuan?"
"With the Dragon-Snake Jade in hand, she can easily capture Chu Zhongyuan using the magical artifacts of that world."
Chen Yunniang's eyes remained closed, but a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips: "Even if she catches Chu Zhongyuan, it won't make a difference."
"Why didn't it work? Could it be that the mother Gu in Chu Zhongyuan's possession is fake?"
