"That's good. As long as he's not awake, we still have hope. But tonight, he must die..."
"Miss, Luo Zhiwan is guarding her every step of the way. How can we make a move?"
After pondering for a moment, Yue Xiaoyue clenched her fists with gritted teeth.
"Then let's take care of her too..."
Xiang'er was so frightened that she immediately waved her hands vigorously.
"No, no, I can't even handle one child, how could I possibly handle two?"
"Do you really have to resort to force? Have you forgotten how Yuzhu died?"
Upon hearing the mention of Solomon's Seal, Xiang'er shuddered violently. "You mean, we'll use poison again?"
Although Yue Xiaoyue now regrets it a little, what's done is done, and she has no way to back down.
"Yes, if we take care of them, mother and child, everything will be fine..."
As she said this, a sinister glint flashed in her eyes.
She, a person with brains but no heart, somehow suddenly became enlightened and learned to use schemes.
She herself was a little curious about it.
Night falls
The sky is full of dark clouds tonight; it looks like it's going to rain soon.
Luo Zhiwan stood by the bed, looking at the pitch-black night. A sense of fear welled up inside her, but it was quickly overwhelmed by a surge of hatred.
She was certain that tonight would be an extraordinary night. Yue Xiaoyue knew that Yiming was about to wake up, and she was afraid that he would reveal something, so she would definitely come to kill her to silence her.
Whether she can avenge Yiming and Yuzhu depends entirely on tonight.
Donghui Courtyard didn't light any lamps tonight; she was waiting, waiting for the person who wanted to kill them to come.
Suddenly, a few muffled claps of thunder sounded in the sky, followed by a few raindrops slowly falling.
She looked out the window and saw the raindrops in the sky getting bigger and bigger, and the sound of the rain getting more and more urgent.
Standing by the window, you can clearly hear the sound of raindrops hitting the ground outside.
Suddenly, a figure flashed past the window.
Luo Zhiwan suddenly frowned. She knew that someone had arrived, and it seemed to be someone with excellent martial arts skills.
Her brow furrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth lifted gently...
Just as she had predicted, Yiming was about to wake up, and someone was getting impatient.
At that moment, the window was opened from the outside, and then something that looked like a bamboo tube was pushed into the room.
It seems they wanted to drug them before making their move.
The tricks of the ancients are exactly the same as those depicted in TV dramas.
This tactic reminded her of Yu Zhu, who probably died in a similar, confused way.
She took out a wet towel that she had prepared beforehand and stuffed it directly into the mouth of the bamboo tube.
After the person outside blew hard a few times, the poisonous gas in the bamboo tube not only did not blow into the house, but instead flowed back into the mouth of the person who blew it, and that person instantly collapsed to the ground.
It turned out that because Zhiwan had intercepted him, he had inhaled all the sleeping potion in the bamboo tube.
Confirming that the person outside had fainted, Luo Zhiwan's lips curled slightly, and she turned to Yiming, instructing him:
"Mom has to go out for a bit. You stay inside and don't go out no matter what's going on outside, understand?"
Although Yiming didn't know what had happened, he remembered everything his mother had told him.
After calming Yiming down, she pushed open the door and gestured for him to lower the latch, saying she would knock when she returned.
After watching Yiming close the door and lock it, she glanced at the man in black who had fainted on the ground, stepped forward and punched him hard on the shoulder, then dragged him to a corner.
The rain outside was still pouring down, and her brows furrowed deeply, instantly knotting together in her expression.
Standing under the eaves, she took off her coat, revealing a maid's outfit, and quickly went to the main courtyard.
At the main gate, she saw six or seven patrolling guards passing by with umbrellas. She called out to them.
"Quickly inform the Crown Prince! Miss Yue has suddenly developed a high fever and has had convulsions; it's life-threatening..."
The guards glanced back, but even though they couldn't see anything in the pitch-black night, they didn't dare to delay and one of them quickly ran out to inform Leng Chuchen.
Peony Garden.
It was late at night, and everyone was fast asleep.
The sound of a door opening startled Yue Xiaoyue awake from her sleep.
"who?"
She jumped out of bed in fright and screamed in terror.
"Xiang'er, Xiang'er..."
Xiang'er, who was sleeping on the small bed, had long been knocked unconscious by Luo Zhiwan, so no one could hear her calling out.
Then, a female ghost appeared at the doorway, dressed as a maid, with disheveled hair, white eyes, and a tongue sticking out of her lips that was at least half an inch long—a truly terrifying sight…
Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind was heard, and the door slammed shut from the outside with a 'click'.
"Who are you?"
By this time, Yue Xiaoyue was wide awake. She slid off the bed, and only in the flickering light could she make out the person in front of her.
"Ah! A ghost! A ghost!"
"Yue Xiaoyue, I died such a terrible death!"
"Don't come any closer, don't come any closer, please don't come any closer..."
Yue Xiaoyue was so frightened that she lost her mind and could only scream, unable to make any other sound.
"Just because I saw with my own eyes that you wanted to kill the young prince, you killed me to silence me! How cruel you are! I died such a terrible death! Give me back my life! Give me back my life..."
Hearing the words spoken by the female ghost in front of her, and seeing her attire, she instantly screamed in terror.
"Yu Zhu? You're Yu Zhu? What are you doing here? The person who harmed you is Xiang'er. You should go find her, not me."
Since she had never killed anyone, the only person she could think of was Yuzhu.
"Yue Xiaoyue, you were afraid I would expose your crimes, so you had Xiang'er poison me first and then kill me. Now you still don't want to admit it? You are truly heartless. Come with me to the King of Hell and confess your sins!"
