Chapter 444 The Regent Leads Troops to Search the Restaurant
Xiao Tang could sense that the owner of Wangchunlou might have something wrong with his head.
The woman seemed to enjoy Ruyi's loud exclamations, her smile undiminished.
“Your Highness, my requirements are not low either. After all, Jiangnan is in great turmoil at the moment, and the Regent is probably too busy to attend to you.”
"As long as the princess is willing to go to Jiangnan with me and help me kill Yan Ruyu, that's enough."
Xiao Tang: ? ? ?
It seems this woman and Yan Ruyu are enemies.
The key issue is that they are enemies, so how did she inexplicably get caught in the crossfire and become an innocent victim?
"So that letter..."
"Of course it's for you, but I secretly had someone steal it."
"..."
What is the significance?
She's such an unlucky girl!
Since it was all going to be given to her anyway, why did this woman go to such lengths to have it stolen and then returned to her?
I don't understand.
"Then the message you mentioned, isn't it also fake?" Xiao Tang asked, frowning.
The woman smiled enigmatically, "Whether it's true or false, Your Highness is to decide for yourself. Whether you leave here alive or not is entirely up to you."
"Hey, what grudge do you have against the princess?" Ruyi couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily at the woman.
Instead of being a proper proprietress, she insisted on causing trouble in the capital and imprisoning the princess.
The woman tossed her long hair.
"We have no grudge against each other. It's just that the Princess helped Yan Ruyu, so why can't she help me this time?"
In this situation, Xiao Tang could only twitch her lips.
She turned to look at Ruyi and whispered, "Ruyi, don't say anything that might upset her."
[Beep beep beep... Host, please treat this woman's illness as soon as possible; she is terminally ill.]
[Hmm...you want me to treat a lunatic right now?]
That's outrageous beyond belief.
Xiao Tang was too lazy to pay any attention to the system.
The system also felt it shouldn't be like this, [but... that's how our mission is.]
Tell me how many points you have.
【Host, what's wrong with you? Are you deciding what to serve based on points?】
Xiao Tang chuckled coolly, "Otherwise what? Do you think I have nothing better to do?"
Is he out of his mind to treat the woman who kidnapped him?
The woman was unaware that she was talking to the system. She only noticed Xiao Tang's increasingly conflicted expression and assumed that Xiao Tang was struggling with these matters, which pleased her.
"If the princess can help her, why can't she help me? After all, I am also Yan Ruyu's sister."
Xiao Tang's gaze froze.
Yan Ruyu also has an older sister who is over forty years old?
What's going on?
She truly never expected things to turn out this way.
Faced with Xiao Tang's astonished expression, Yan Ruyu's face gradually darkened. "It seems she never mentioned to the Princess that I introduced her to an excellent marriage, but she publicly asked to be divorced."
"I never imagined that the princess would instigate my sister like this!"
Xiao Tang: ? ? ?
Goodness.
Yan Ruyu asked to step down, and she took the blame; she was a great victim of injustice.
"So what? You just told me to go to Jiangnan to kill her."
"Yes! She deserves to die!"
"..." Xiao Tang saw the woman's hideous face and exclaimed, "Good heavens!"
It's truly a deep sisterly bond.
Seeing this, she felt a pang of sadness and was speechless with grief.
It turns out that this woman was the one who arranged my marriage to Princess Yu. I never would have guessed.
Perhaps it was the heavy look of suspicion on her face that made the woman's expression grow increasingly sinister and terrifying. "If Your Highness does not agree, I will have you thrown into this snake pool and devoured by ten thousand snakes!"
[Host, host, quickly treat her illness, otherwise she'll really go crazy and be very difficult to control!]
I will not seek treatment!
[Points!] The system seemed to be gritting its teeth.
Xiao Tang continued to refuse: "I don't even want 100,000."
[...]
The woman's eyes widened, seemingly about to bulge out. She smiled sinisterly, "If the princess is unwilling, then we'll just have to throw her down to feed the snakes."
"Oh, right, look how confused I am, I should have thrown the Ruyi down first."
She raised her hand.
Just as she was about to give the order, a subordinate rushed over and whispered something in her ear. Her expression changed drastically, and she quickly left.
"Keep an eye on those two!"
After saying that, she strode away.
As the woman left, a dozen or so attendants filed in and surrounded them tightly.
Xiao Tang was speechless and choked with emotion.
She calculated the time and guessed that the main villain must be searching outside, otherwise the woman wouldn't have changed her expression because of it.
Ruyi asked, trembling, "Your Highness... what should we do?"
How terrifying.
Xiao Tang said reassuringly, "Don't worry, I have a way to solve this."
Ruyi wanted to cry.
She wasn't worried.
She panicked.
If the princess gets into trouble, the regent will definitely massacre the entire Wangchun Tower.
And after the massacre, even the princess couldn't leave unscathed. It was truly a tragedy, a terrible sin.
Xiao Tang decided to use trickery.
Since things have already come to this point, let's make use of the snakes in this snake pond.
[System, please find a way to exchange for a bottle of snake-induced madness medicine for me. I need to go treat that woman.]
Curing the disease is impossible.
That woman was clearly courting death.
She wouldn't feel at ease treating that woman.
However, she was more than willing to do things like returning to the game.
[Host, really?]
Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!
[Alright, to show you this level of awareness, the system is gifting you a bottle of Snake Madness Potion!]
As soon as the system finished speaking, Xiao Tang had a bottle of medicine in her hand.
