Fang Qingyue felt a little alert when she saw the crowd surrounding her, but she remained calm and composed.
Liu Yunyun will definitely not let her go easily today, and she is pregnant, so she can't get angry rashly.
"Since you sisters are so kind, Qingyue will not refuse it."
She bowed slightly, as if obeying everyone's persuasion, and followed Liu Yunyun and the other noble ladies to the boudoir deep in the courtyard.
But at the moment of taking a step, Fang Qingyue silently scattered a few petals of pollen on the road beneath her feet.
The pollen is brightly colored and has a unique smell, and it scatters with the slightest breeze.
She knew that Fang Chiyue was particularly sensitive to smells, and if there was anything wrong with her, Fang Chiyue would definitely be able to detect it.
Fang Qingyue had been in the inner room with Liu Yunyun for some time, and Fang Chiyue felt vaguely uneasy.
Liu Yunyun's banquet would never be a simple flower-viewing party, although Fang Qingyue was smart.
But she is pregnant, and if Liu Yunyun does something bad in secret, the situation will definitely be complicated.
Fang Chiyue suddenly frowned, and her nose twitched slightly, catching a whiff of a strange smell.
The faint sweet fragrance was mixed with the scent of pollen that Fang Qingyue usually used.
Fang Chiyue was very familiar with this kind of pollen. Her sister often had this scent on her sleeves and sachets.
"Sister..." Fang Chiyue's heart moved, and she immediately realized that something was wrong.
Fang Qingyue would not scatter pollen on the ground for no reason. The only explanation was that she was in trouble and left clues for herself.
These thoughts flashed through Fang Chiyue's mind instantly, and then he stood up and walked quickly towards the direction of the pollen smell.
Catching the scent of pollen in the air, I clenched my sleeves with both hands and walked quickly along the trail.
Anxiety grew in her heart, but she remained calm.
Although my sister is smart, she is pregnant at the time. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable.
When she reached the side corridor of Liu Mansion, Fang Chiyue suddenly heard a pair of light footsteps approaching.
She stopped, listened carefully, and then determined the man's location.
After a moment, the footsteps stopped in front of her.
"Miss Chi Yue?" A deep male voice came.
It was Cheng Qingyuan. I didn't expect to meet him at this time.
Fang Chiyue nodded slightly and said seriously, "Mr. Cheng, you've come just in time. My sister is in danger. Come with me to save her!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qingyuan's expression changed, and a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes: "Danger? Do you have any specific clues?"
Fang Chiyue didn't explain much, but whispered, "I can smell the pollen she left behind. If nothing unexpected happens, she must have encountered trouble somewhere in a remote part of the Liu Mansion."
"Come with me quickly, don't delay."
Cheng Qingyuan responded without saying a word and followed immediately.
Since she said Fang Qingyue was in danger, something must have happened.
On the other side, Fang Qingyue followed Liu Yunyun and several noble ladies along the way. The courtyard of the Liu Mansion had winding paths and lush flowers and trees.
Away from the bustling banquet area, the surroundings gradually became quiet.
Fang Qingyue knew that the deeper they went, the more dangerous it would be.
She followed them calmly, pinching the sachet in her sleeve silently with her fingers, feeling a little alert.
Everything seemed calm, and Liu Yunyun was chatting with several noble ladies as they walked.
From time to time, he would throw out a few seemingly casual but actually sharp temptations.
Fang Qingyue responded silently without saying much, but slowed down her pace and paid attention to changes in the surrounding environment.
When they reached a remote courtyard, Liu Yunyun stopped.
Smiling, she said to Fang Qingyue, "Sister Fang, please come in."
"It's quiet and peaceful here, perfect for you to relax and unwind."
Fang Qingyue nodded slightly, but felt a chill growing in her heart.
She followed Liu Yunyun into the courtyard, pushed open the door, and saw the room was simply furnished.
Some tea sets have been placed on the table, but upon closer inspection, there is a somewhat strange atmosphere.
There were no maids in the room, and it was unusually quiet.
As soon as Fang Qingyue sat down, Liu Yunyun handed her a cup of tea and said softly, "Sister Fang, you are pregnant, you must take care of yourself."
"I prepared this tea specially for you. It clears away heat and calms the mind. It's also good for the fetus."
Fang Qingyue took the teacup, lowered her head and smelled it, and immediately smelled a very faint fragrance of safflower, and her heart sank instantly.
The effects of safflower are extremely dangerous for pregnant women.
Obviously, Liu Yunyun's thoughts are already clear.
She slowly raised her eyes, looked at Liu Yunyun coldly, and said calmly: "Sister Liu's kindness, Qingyue appreciates it, but this red flower is not suitable for pregnant women."
"Sister wants me to..."
Her words stopped abruptly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Seeing that she had seen through him, Liu Yunyun stopped hiding her true feelings and her smile became cold.
She crossed her arms over her chest, leaned closer to Fang Qingyue, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Fang Qingyue, you are quite smart."
"Now that you know, I don't have to hide it."
"Shen Yuhan's child? Ha, you're dreaming of securing your position in the Shen Mansion with this bastard?"
"Today, as long as you drink this bowl of safflower water and abort the evil child in your belly, I will let you live."
Fang Qingyue frowned slightly, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.
Although she knew that Liu Yunyun had bad intentions, she didn't expect that she would dare to harm her so directly.
She looked calm, tightly gripped the sachet in her sleeve, and quickly thought of a strategy in her mind.
"Sister Liu is so calculating. She actually went to so much trouble to frame me today."
Fang Qingyue's tone remained calm, but there was a hint of cold warning in her eyes. "But, Sister Liu, aren't you afraid that Shen Yuhan will come back and investigate this matter and hold you accountable?"
