Under siege, he refused to believe that Xiao Chensheng wouldn't release his mistress.
On the other side, Su Wanyan sat in Miaosheng Hall, closing her eyes to rest.
She was actually calculating the time in her mind.
No matter how much time has passed, the scene here remains the same as when she woke up: the sky outside is bright daylight, and there are still very few patients in Miaosheng Hall.
As time went by, normally two hours should have passed by now.
However, when she opened her eyes, she was still greeted by bright sunshine, and the sky had not changed at all.
Su Wanyan was now certain that she was indeed in an illusion.
In this space where the passage of time is imperceptible, every minute and second is torture for ordinary people, and for those with weak willpower, it is easy to be driven mad by this illusion.
From the moment Su Wanyan suspected she was under an illusion, she began to calculate the time.
She just didn't understand why Xiao Chensheng would use illusion magic on her.
How long does Xiao Chensheng intend to keep her imprisoned?
Just as she was wondering, the scene before her suddenly blurred. Su Wanyan frowned slightly, but in the blink of an eye, the illusion shattered like clouds and mist, and a tall and eerie figure came into view.
Su Wanyan's eyes widened in surprise for a moment, as if she had been forcibly pulled back to reality from an illusion.
A wave of fatigue washed over her, as if her body, which had been manipulated, had been liberated, allowing Su Wanyan to return to reality.
Xiao Chensheng stood before her, his hands hanging limply at his sides. Even his long pipe seemed lifeless. His face was expressionless as he quietly watched her.
Su Wanyan's face was unusually calm. She looked around and found herself in a secluded cave where she could hear the sound of a clear spring dripping.
Light shone from the cave, but no one knew where it came from.
Looking down at myself again, I realized that my hands and feet were not bound. Instead, I was sitting on a cushioned chair. Come to think of it, my exhaustion was also due to sitting for too long.
Seeing that Su Wanyan didn't ask any questions or make a scene, Xiao Chensheng laughed first.
He raised his long pipe, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke before saying, "Your Majesty doesn't seem surprised at all."
Su Wanyan didn't reply to him. Instead, she slowly reached for her belt. Sure enough, the medicine she carried was still there. It was just that she was under the illusion spell, which made her mistakenly believe that the medicine she carried was gone.
She didn't know when Xiao Chensheng cast the illusion on her, but she guessed it must have started from the first moment she saw him.
"Indeed, I have never seen Your Highness so flustered. If Your Highness is truly distraught over this matter, it would only make me uneasy."
He smiled and said, "After exchanging ideas with Your Highness, I have made some improvements to the illusion technique. I owe this all to Your Highness."
It is difficult for someone under an illusion to realize that they are under one. The first time, Su Wanyan not only realized it, but also instantly broke the illusion.
Although she didn't take the antidote in time this second time, judging from her current expression, she must have already realized that she was in an illusion during the illusion.
Xiao Chensheng was still somewhat curious: "When did Your Majesty realize that you had been drugged?"
Su Wanyan raised her eyes but did not answer him. Her eyes were full of indifference: "In the battle of Wengcheng in Donghai, I received your help. Today, I will repay your kindness with this matter."
Su Wanyan's resolute expression made Xiao Chensheng's heart clench.
She knew that the amount of medicinal herbs Xiao Chensheng had collected for her in such a short time that day could not be compensated by a bottle of painkillers.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't angry after what she had suffered today. But since Xiao Chensheng was going to use her like this, he must have already thought that there would be no more gratitude between them in the future.
Moreover, Xiao Chensheng should know that even if he didn't kidnap her, Su Wanyan wouldn't really refuse to help him if he asked, but he still chose this extreme method.
Su Wanyan was angry because Xiao Chensheng had taken advantage of her trust.
If she hadn't trusted him, Su Wanyan would never have fallen for his trap today.
Xiao Chensheng suppressed the faint stinging pain in his heart, and his smile grew brighter and brighter: "So Your Majesty still remembers, then that makes things easier."
After he finished speaking, he slowly stepped aside, and along with his figure, the swirling clouds of smoke behind him also moved aside.
Su Wanyan then saw clearly that there was a stone bed placed in the center of the cave.
Lying on the stone bed was a person, whose figure... was that of a girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old. The girl's face was pale, and her hair was neatly tied up on her head.
A chilling aura swirled around them, and the coldness emanating from the stone bed completely froze the girl.
Xiao Chensheng didn't beat around the bush: "Cure her."
Su Wanyan's brows twitched slightly. Because she was far away, she didn't know if the woman on the stone bed was still alive. But under normal circumstances, if a person was frozen by such cold air, even if they didn't die, they would be half dead.
Moreover, she didn't know how long the woman had been in this state.
But then the thought flashed through his mind, and considering that Xiao Chensheng's medical skills were unpredictable, he might have used some method to make the girl simply fall into a deep sleep.
Since Xiao Chensheng asked her to cure her, no matter what the illness is, this woman should still have a chance to survive.
After thinking it over, Su Wanyan sighed softly, calmed herself down, and slowly got up from her chair.
However, at that moment, a loud "boom" suddenly rang out from the cave.
The loud noise came unexpectedly, startling Su Wanyan.
But she quickly calmed down.
Two hours have passed since she disappeared. Yu Nanqing will not remain indifferent after learning about it. Besides herself, Mingyu and Xiaobu, who are with her, also have the Hundred-Cure Pill that she developed.
It was because when Su Wanyan was learning medicine from Xiao Chensheng, Tanaka and the others had fallen under Xiao Chensheng's illusion. Since then, they had been on guard against Xiao Chensheng and had never let their guard down.
It cannot be said that they never trusted Xiao Chensheng. They had experienced far more than Su Wanyan, and they would not entrust the safety of Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing to such an unfounded trust.
The effects of Baijie Pills can last up to a week, and taking them every three days can maintain their effectiveness.
When Xiao Chensheng appeared at Prince Gong's mansion, the people waiting beside Su Wanyan had already begun taking the Hundred-Cure Pill.
This is also why Su Wanyan did not panic even though she was under an illusion.
Moreover, since Xiao Chensheng used illusion magic on her, he must have something in mind. Therefore, she did not struggle too much along the way and waited for Xiao Chensheng's purpose to be revealed.
Xiao Chensheng's smiling face seemed to crack slightly, and his brows furrowed. He suppressed his laughter as he looked at Su Wanyan: "I am proficient in the art of Bagua. This place has already been enchanted by me. It is impossible for Your Highness to break in. Your Highness, please."
