The second prince had indeed drunk too much today. Even with someone supporting him, he still felt dizzy.
It wasn't that he was a heavy drinker, it was simply that he rarely left the palace, unlike his brothers, to have fun elsewhere. He finally got out, didn't have to fawn over his mother, and didn't have to worry about his wife and children. How could he not be happy?
When he arrived at the Yanji Palace, he saw that it was pitch black inside and there was no light. The second prince became a little angry.
"What's going on? It's fine if we just temporarily moved to a new place, but why don't we even have anyone to serve us?"
The palace attendant beside him replied, "Yes, yes, how could there be no one to serve us? You will know when you go in, Second Prince!"
The second prince laughed drunkenly. It seemed that the people in the palace also knew the rules. They knew that it was rare for him to come out, and they also wanted to make him happy.
So the unpleasantness quickly disappeared, and I pushed the door open and walked in by myself without anyone's help.
When I arrived at the bed, I saw a beautiful woman lying on the bed. She was wearing heavy makeup and was indescribably charming and charming. Although the lights were off, her skin was white and her graceful figure could be vaguely seen under her gauze dress.
Seeing that she had no reaction, the second prince thought that this was probably a new way of having fun, so he took off his shoes and went to bed without hesitation, and had a great night.
Outside the Yanji Palace, the Fourth Prince stared at the darkened palace with a complicated expression. What was going on? Did Lu Anyuan not come, or did the Second Prince go to the wrong place?
After a while, he heard a faint sound of joy in the wind, and his eyes turned sad.
"Fan Shi, this trick has failed. It seems that Xu Yiyan has been taken away by the seventh brother. As soon as she wakes up tomorrow morning, we will be exposed."
Fan Shi was also puzzled. "That shouldn't be the case. Didn't we predict that the Second Prince would go to Yanji Palace first before letting the Seventh Prince go? He should have just happened to see them having sex. And where did the woman's voice in the palace come from?"
The Fourth Prince lowered his head and grasped the purse on his body in his hand with such force that his knuckles turned white.
"Maybe it's fate. The current situation is obviously that Seventh Brother came here first and took Xu Yiyan away. Sigh!"
Fan Shi could sense his master's fear. Tomorrow morning, the anger from the Xu family, the Second Prince, Concubine Ying, and the Seventh Prince, and even the wrath of His Majesty, would descend upon his master.
"I won't let this happen! I'll go to the Seventh Prince right now and find a way to kill Xu Yiyan. Then you can rest easy!"
"Don't be reckless." The Fourth Prince waved his hand, loosening his purse. "In fact, there might be a chance of recovery. If you leave, there will be no turning back."
"Really?" Fan Shi wasn't very smart. He didn't know whether this was his master's true thoughts or just words of comfort. But he knew that his master was the smartest person in the world! As long as he followed his instructions, nothing would be a problem.
Just like today, the master's original plan was to kidnap Miss Xu Er, make the Second Prince drunk and temporarily change the palace, and then visit Xu Yiyan without his knowledge.
In this way, tomorrow morning, the marriage between the Xu family and the Seventh Prince will be annulled, and the Second Prince will become the target of public criticism. By then, the two of them will have to fight to the death, and no one will think that this was the master's idea!
Of course, this is based on the premise that Xu Yiyan will not speak.
The master had already calculated that the second Miss Xu was cowardly by nature and had no ideas. When encountering such a thing, she dared not speak out, otherwise it would be a joke for the entire Xu family.
Or, to be more direct, tomorrow morning, before the effect of the drug wears off, just hang the Second Miss, making it look like she committed suicide because she couldn't stand the humiliation of the Second Prince. This way, there will be no evidence.
Miss Xu had been staying indoors for the past few days, so we finally had the chance to capture her today. It went quite smoothly, and she didn't even struggle the whole time. She was indeed weak by nature, as the master said!
What a shame! How could such a plan that kills three birds with one stone go so wrong?
"Fan Shi, let's go back. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to Seventh Brother's place first."
The Fourth Prince gave Fan Shi a nice smile and helped him walk slowly back to his palace. Perhaps because he had been standing for too long or was under too much pressure, his legs were a little out of control.
Late into the night, candles in the palaces and courtyards gradually went out, and the palace servants began to take turns on duty. Only Lu Anyuan's palace was brightly lit, but no one was on duty outside, and no one knew what the people inside were doing.
Lu Anyuan tried several antidotes given by Mr. Yao, including smelling, eating, and applying, but none of them seemed to have any effect.
When he thought about the antidote Xu Yixing took last time, he began to wonder if he couldn't wake up because he had drug resistance?
I really regret not bringing Mr. Yao into the outer palace.
"Ada, go and see if there are any of her shadow guards around."
Lu Anyuan wanted to know what had happened, how she got here, and how she was knocked unconscious and placed on the second prince's bed?
"I've been keeping an eye on it, and I haven't seen anything. The outer palace is heavily guarded, so maybe they can't get in."
Lu Anyuan was a little discouraged, but he could only wait. It felt like he hadn't seen Yixing for a long time, and now they suddenly met, it was like this.
How did Fourth Brother's nanny just happen to enter Yanji Palace and see Lai Yixing being kidnapped? He didn't believe it was a complete coincidence.
It seems that in addition to facing the ministers tomorrow morning, there will be a tough battle between brothers to fight.
"Yixing? You're awake!" Lu Anyuan lowered his head inadvertently and saw Xu Yixing's eyelashes trembling, as if the antidote was taking effect.
He was very surprised and quickly put a large cushion behind Yixing and helped her up.
Xu Yixing was indeed awake, and had been awake for a long time. Her mind had gradually become clear since she was brought back by Lu Anyuan, but her body was unable to move. She lay there for a long time before she had the strength to open her eyes.
After she found out that Lu Anyuan had brought her back, she finally felt relieved. This fratricidal feud and tragedy of human nature did not happen after all.
Otherwise, you will be plotted against and stand at the center of public opinion, and you will definitely not survive.
"Salt..."
"Oh, drink this." Lu Anyuan took the big tea bowl he usually used to drink water from the table, watched Xu Yixing gulp it down, and hurriedly poured her another cup.
"You, you haven't had enough to drink yet?"
"Almost." Xu Yixing rubbed his stomach. He had not replenished any water since he left home this morning, so of course he was very thirsty.
"It was the Fourth Prince who brought a skilled hand to abduct me on my way to Jingxi Temple. He said someone was unhappy with your marriage, and that's why he did this. I guess it was the Second Prince."
Xu Yixing revealed everything she knew. Now that she had inexplicably appeared in the outer palace, she would have to give her father and the emperor an explanation tomorrow morning. Now, only by being honest with each other and working together to come up with a good excuse could they save their lives and reputations.
