Chapter 27 Hit
Dongfang Yan didn't refuse because he suddenly found his whole body stiff.
Although he was still conscious, he couldn't move his hands and feet.
Seeing him standing there motionless, the guard beside him asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Dongfang Yan wanted to speak, but he couldn't, as if he had lost control of even his mouth and tongue.
Dongfang Qie didn't seem to notice his abnormality and continued to say enthusiastically, "Next time you have time, bring the new princess to meet you."
Soon, his body began to move.
He felt himself nodding to Dongfang Cui, then he walked out of the Prince Rui's Mansion step by step, jumped on the horse, and moved in one smooth move.
He even heard himself ordering his men: "Go back to the mansion and change clothes first."
No, no!
What's wrong with me!
Dongfang Yan cried out and struggled in his heart.
But it was no use, he couldn't speak, nor could he control his body.
At this moment, he felt as if he had become a puppet, being manipulated by a mysterious force.
When he entered, Chief Steward Zhao came to greet him: "Your Highness, you are back. The Princess is back too. She was wondering where you had been."
Then, Dongfang Yan heard himself say "hmm", and then he quickly walked back to the bedroom, and naturally accepted the maid's help to take off his court clothes and change into casual clothes.
Everything happened so naturally and smoothly as if nothing had changed.
His soul seemed to be trapped in his body, watching everything happen.
What's happened to me? Has some evil spell struck me? Dongfang Cui...did he poison me?
Dongfang Yan felt a little uncomfortable.
He was wary of the other princes except Dongfang Gui. Because of their former life-or-death friendship and the fact that Dongfang Gui had no desire to fight for power, he did not take too much precautions against him.
But I never expected that I would fall into his hands today!
Dongfang Cui is really good at acting, he fooled everyone!
At this time, the guard came to report: "Your Highness, the princess requests an audience."
"That woman finally decided to come back!" he heard himself say.
The tone was cold, full of disgust, and the imitation was exactly the same!
He didn't think there was anything wrong with that attitude before, until his body was controlled and he heard those words from the perspective of an observer, and then he felt that it was a bit inhumane.
At this moment, deep in his heart, he desperately wanted to see Lin Qingyue.
He knew that only she could save him!
"You begged me to come back just now, why are you avoiding me now?" Lin Qingyue's voice arrived before she even showed up. Her tone was still provocative, but Dongfang Yan felt a little agitated when he heard it.
The guards at the door wanted to stop them.
But he was frightened by Lin Qingyue's cold eyes.
When that graceful figure appeared before his eyes, Dongfang Yan felt for the first time that she was so beautiful and so important!
As the mayfly silk in his body had only been parasitic for a short time, it was still somewhat affected by his state of mind, so its attitude towards Lin Qingyue had also improved a bit.
"I'm very happy that you came." Dongfang Yan heard himself say this.
Lin Qingyue was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Really? It's really not easy."
She sat down on the armchair next to her and squinted at Dongfang Yan: "Are you changing into new clothes? Are you going to see my dear sister?"
But at this moment, Dongfang Yan was in a difficult situation himself, so how could he have the mood to think about Lin Ruzhen?
"I have to go to the cabinet to discuss politics in the afternoon." Dongfang Yan heard himself answer this.
Cabinet meetings are almost his daily routine.
I didn't expect that the thing that controls me also knows this habit. It's really scary.
Lin Qingyue nodded: "Then I wish Your Highness to succeed in usurping the throne soon."
Dongfang Yan said, "How outrageous!"
Lin Qingyue laughed: "Why are you so nervous? Your people are everywhere here, no one dares to spread rumors."
Dongfang Yan asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Lin Qingyue shrugged: "Nothing, just chatting casually."
"I still have government affairs to attend to, so I won't waste time talking to you." Dongfang Yan suddenly stopped when he reached the door.
"Zhao An, give the things I brought back to the princess."
Manager Zhao then presented a food box and a pot of peach blossom wine.
But Dongfang Yan left without looking back.
Although he seemed calm, he was deeply anxious: Could she see through him? If she couldn't, what should he do?
When Lin Qingyue returned to Qiushui Courtyard, where she lived, her tabby cat Xiaohua immediately jumped out and asked, "How's it going?"
Lin Qingyue said: "He is not the mastermind behind this."
Xiaohua asked, "Are you so sure?"
Lin Qingyue threw the wine and sashimi onto the table: "That's because he was also infected."
Although the mayfly silk can imitate the host's expression and tone, it can also see into the host's memory.
But what makes us human is that there are many variables, and simple imitation is impossible to be flawless.
Today, the biggest flaw of Dongfang Yan was that he did not mention Lin Ruzhen.
If someone who didn't know the situation, they would think he just forgot temporarily.
But Lin Qingyue still couldn't help but have some doubts. When she saw the sashimi, she connected the dots and immediately guessed the truth.
Xiaohua originally thought that all this was done by Dongfang Yan, but she didn't expect that he would also fall into the trap.
"Since Dongfang was infected today, we should carefully investigate who he met and what he ate today, and then we can find the mastermind behind this."
She ordered: "Xiaohua, go to the Xuanjing Division and tell Xie Shouzheng about Prince Jin's situation. He will naturally investigate."
"I just found a large patch of Nether Night Orchid in the back garden of Prince Jin's Mansion. I will start refining the identification incense pills immediately."
"Oh, right." Lin Qingyue smirked. "Whether it's screening the infected or clearing the infection later, Dongfang Yan should be placed at the end. Or... just skip him altogether?"
Compared to the previous Dongfang Yan, she still felt that Dongfang Yan controlled by Mayfly Silk was more pleasing to the eye.
Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel that mayfly silk is not completely useless.
With the Night Orchid, refining the identification incense pills was not a difficult task for Lin Qingyue. After just one day, she had the finished product.
The first batch will naturally be sent to Xuanjingsi first.
From Xie Shouzheng down to the old guard at the gate, everyone was checked. Fortunately, no one in the company was infected.
Xie Shouzheng breathed a sigh of relief and instructed: "Don't eat any raw food recently. Take care of yourself."
The next step was to arrange personnel to conduct a city-wide search. This was a tedious and time-consuming task, so Xie Shouzheng and his men were responsible for carrying out the work.
He then said to Lin Qingyue, "Deputy Envoy Lin should continue to be responsible for refining the identification incense pills. I will ask Mi to prepare the necessary materials for you."
This item is a consumable, and the effect of a single incense pill is very short-lived. Next, everyone in the city will be screened, and the demand is self-evident.
Originally, Xie Shouzheng wanted Lin Qingyue to refine medicine in Xuanjingsi, but he took into account that after picking the Youye Orchid, the fragrance would fade after half an hour, thus losing its effectiveness and making it inconvenient to store.
Therefore, Lin Qingyue decided to operate nearby at the palace.
Dongfang Yan has been infected, and it is safer to stay in the dark.
