Chapter 566: A Dangerous Situation
As soon as Wan Xingchen finished speaking, he heard the chattering of a group of women coming from the door.
"Princess, I just heard Miss Wan's cry for help. I wonder if something happened. Shall we go in and take a look?"
As soon as Fu Bao heard the voice, he whispered to Wan Xingchen: "Brother Chen, it's Chen Wan, the bad and pitiful woman."
Wan Xingchen's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't know what this woman was up to. She was the one who sent him a message to save Rou'er just now, but now she appeared here again. It seemed that this woman was so familiar with the terrain of the palace that she knew it by heart. Maybe she also had her own connections. This woman could not be cooperated with.
Wan Xingchen had already rejected Chen Wan in his heart. Such a person could turn against you at any time. For the sake of profit, she might stab you in the back, leaving you with no chance of recovery. Cooperating with her would be like courting disaster and was not worth it.
Wan Xingchen was analyzing Chen Wan in his mind when the princess' voice was heard outside.
"Chen Wan, did you hear me correctly? My palace is heavily patrolled, how could there be any danger?"
Then the door was pushed open from the outside, and a group of beautiful girls came in.
Wan Xingchen suddenly felt a little dazzled. He couldn't help but complain that the military camp was still more beautiful.
Just when Wan Xingchen was about to watch the show, a woman in yellow walking at the back suddenly looked up inadvertently.
Wan Xingchen's position was not hidden, but no one thought of looking at the roof. However, the last woman, who was a bit sturdy and had dark skin, saw him.
The two were surprised for a moment at the same time, and Wan Xingchen immediately revealed a cold light. If the woman dared to scream, he would immediately shoot out his hidden weapon and kill her with one shot.
The woman in yellow was the girl she met at the gate of the palace. She came here today just to join the crowd. Her father was only a fifth-rank official, and she was ugly, so not many people were willing to make friends with her sincerely. She finally got close to Ye Caidie and had the opportunity to come to the palace to participate in the plum blossom viewing banquet, but in the end she got nothing. No one wanted to get too close to her.
Wan Xingchen had his hidden weapon ready, but the woman in yellow just opened her mouth in slight surprise, then quickly lowered her head as if nothing had happened and followed everyone into the house.
Then there was an ear-piercing scream from below.
"ah--!"
"ah--!"
“Someone come——!”
Soon, everyone in the room ran out, except for the princess, who had a grim face. She finally walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.
Wan Xingchen patted Fubao's head gently.
"Sister Fubao, the show is over, it's time for us to go, hold on to your brother."
"Okay."
There is a big red envelope on Fubao’s head, which makes her look a little miserable, but it does not affect her cuteness.
Wan Xingchen landed gently on the ground with Fubao. He didn't know when a dagger flashing with cold light appeared in his hand. With a slight movement of the dagger, it cut the rope tied to the big dog.
Wan Xingchen immediately jumped out of the back window and closed the window again.
He sent Fubao to the next room. At this time, Wan Yirou and Qingmei Hongmei were walking around anxiously.
Suddenly they heard the window behind them being pushed open. They immediately looked towards the window and saw that it was Wan Xingchen who brought Fubao over.
"Sister Fubao, how are you?"
"I'm fine, Sister Rou, how are you?" As soon as Fubao landed, Wan Yirou hugged him in her arms.
"We are all fine. Thanks to my second brother for coming early, otherwise we would all have been knocked unconscious. There is something wrong with the incense in that room."
Wan Yirou recalled what had just happened.
"Isn't it that pot of flowers?" Fubao was a little puzzled.
"No, it's fragrance. The pot of flowers is just a decoy. They put the flowers in a conspicuous place and used the rich fragrance to cover up the smell of the incense, and made us relax our vigilance." Hongmei explained.
"Sister, hurry up and change your clothes and get out. Second brother will go to the men's room first. I've been out for a while. If I stay any longer, they will get suspicious."
"Well, second brother, be careful."
Wan Xingchen's figure flashed and he disappeared through the window.
Hongmei hurried forward and closed the window.
"Miss, there's a lot of noise at the door of the next room. It seems like something happened next door."
Qingmei put her ear to the door frame and listened while reporting to Wan Yirou.
"Qingmei, let's change our clothes and get out. If we don't, they will ruin my reputation."
"Yes, ma'am."
The two maids quickly changed Wan Yirou's clothes, tidied her appearance, cleaned up the room, and carefully checked that nothing was left behind. Only then did Qingmei open the door of the wing room and walked out.
When several people were leaving the side room, they bumped into the group of ladies from wealthy families outside. It was cold outside and they couldn't stay in the side room, so the princess led everyone to the next side room to keep warm. However, no one expected Wan Yirou to appear in the next side room.
"Why are you here?" The princess wanted to tear Wan Yirou's face to pieces when she saw her face.
"Princess, isn't it my normal job to be here? Everyone knows that I'm here to change clothes?" Wan Yirou blinked and replied innocently.
The princess was speechless after hearing Wan Yirou's words. What should she say?
At this time, the maid who brought Wan Yirou to change clothes came over and said, "Just now, I brought Miss Wan to change clothes in this room. When did Miss Wan change to another room?"
"I have been in this room all the time? Did you remember it wrongly?" Wan Yirou denied it flatly.
The maidservant was a little anxious. The princess was already angry, and she was sure that she would suffer the consequences.
She wanted to continue arguing with Wan Yirou, but the princess coldly rebuked her, "Back off."
Things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. It seems that someone is secretly helping Wan Yirou, otherwise why is she so lucky to escape every time?
The princess couldn't help but look at Fubao. Could it be this little girl?
But she quickly denied her thoughts. It was impossible. Although this little girl was a bit naughty, she should not have the ability to transfer people from the next room to another room without anyone noticing. Her eyes stayed on Hongmei for a moment. If she was not mistaken, this maid should know kung fu.
“Help—!”
Just then, a shrill scream came from the room.
But no one dared to go in. Everyone had just seen clearly what had happened inside, and now they would never dare to go in and take another look even if they were beaten to death.
But the screams inside became more and more shrill, accompanied by the barking of dogs.
"Someone, go and call someone."
The princess's face turned pale. She didn't know why her father's favorite General Huang appeared in the side room. If her father knew that his beloved dog had been killed by someone, she would definitely be in trouble.
