Chapter 60: Drugging
Ling Qingyan clenched her hands tightly, and after a moment, she loosened them and glanced at Han Qi.
"Okay, I'll go."
Ling Qingyan followed Ling Yao away.
Han Qi originally wanted to report to the prince immediately, but suddenly two or three powerful guards appeared and surrounded him.
How could Ling Yao have so many guards with such skills...
Han Qi's gaze fell on His Highness. He wanted to try his best to remind His Highness something, but he couldn't say anything and he fainted.
Ling Yao took her to walk on the palace road. Under the moonlight, the shadows of the two girls were side by side at a distance, which showed Ling Qingyan's vigilance.
There was something very wrong with Ling Yao tonight.
She took her to a remote palace, far away from her Yaohua Palace.
The palace has been uninhabited for years, and is overgrown with weeds and a bit dilapidated. There is a dry well in the courtyard. It is said that a concubine was drowned in the well.
Ling Qingyan was pushed in unexpectedly, staggered and almost fell.
Behind him, the sound of a lock being locked was heard.
Ling Yao locked her in, and her sinister and terrifying laughter could be heard from outside the door.
"Ling Qingyan, just enjoy yourself here!" Her voice was filled with the pride of having succeeded.
"Ling Yao! You haven't told me where Pei Wuyou is?!" Ling Qingyan shouted while knocking on the door.
"Take your time to look for it. It's in this yard, or maybe in that room." Ling Yao replied to her kindly with a smile, then asked someone to keep an eye on it and prepared to report.
Ling Qingyan was wearing a green dress with lotus patterns. She stood in the dilapidated and deserted palace under the moonlight. The hem of her dress was blown by the cold wind, and the weeds swayed. The dry well where people were said to have died was covered with a wooden board.
Do you have to be so scary, it's the middle of the night?
Ling Qingyan's heart was beating fast, even faster than every time she was shocked by those handsome faces when she was trying to conquer the male protagonist.
She suppressed her inner fear and quickly walked towards the closed room. The room was dark. She stood at the door and did not go in.
"Pei Wuyou? Pei Wuyou?" Ling Qingyan called at the door.
No one responded.
She had no choice but to walk in. The moment she entered the door, a sudden gust of wind blew and the door was closed tightly, which scared her.
Just then, a noise was heard beside the bed.
"Pei Wuyou, is that you?"
The man seemed to get up with great difficulty, reached for the candlestick, and lit it with a tinder.
The dim room suddenly lit up.
"Third Prince? Why is it you?" Ling Qingyan frowned and looked at the person opposite.
Xiao Yuanzhao frowned, his cheeks flushed, and looked at Princess Tangning hungrily, as if he was enduring something.
"Your Highness, I don't know what happened. I opened my eyes and found myself here. Someone... someone wants to harm us." The man seemed to have great difficulty speaking.
Ling Qingyan, who had read so many novels, immediately understood what was going on.
She quickly stepped back and tried to leave the room.
However, the man behind her stopped the door before her, preventing her from leaving.
"Princess, you Ling people are truly immoral. You actually resorted to such despicable means to deal with me."
The man's eyes became increasingly fiery, like a wolf ready to pounce on its prey at any moment.
Ling Qingyan instinctively kept her distance from him.
"Third Prince, since you know that someone has harmed you, you should let me out. Someone will definitely find you and me tomorrow morning." Ling Qingyan met his eyes.
Xiao Yuanzhao just thought that the woman was so innocent and cute.
"Then what should I do? Should I suffocate to death? Will coming to Ling Kingdom cost me the rest of my life?" Xiao Yuanzhao got closer and closer to her.
"Since I'm going to marry a princess anyway, why not take Her Highness Tangning? Since this is a godsend opportunity, then it suits their wishes. I won't lose out anyway. Your Highness, Liguo is also very good. If Your Highness becomes my princess, I will definitely not treat Her Highness unfairly."
Xiao Yuanzhao's eyes were blurred, as if he was under the influence of drugs, revealing all the evil and desires of human nature.
"You're so lucky!" Ling Qingyan quickly pulled out her hairpin and slashed it towards Xiao Yuanzhao, trying to wake him up. Xiao Yuanzhao couldn't dodge in time and a bloody cut appeared on his arm.
"Third Prince, please respect yourself!" Ling Qingyan reached out to open the door, but Xiao Yuanzhao held it tightly, not letting her move at all.
Ling Qingyan:???
Isn't it said that bleeding will make you more alert? Why is there no reaction at all?
Xiao Yuanzhao grabbed her wrist and tried to pull her onto the other side of the bed.
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew into the room and blew out the lit candle.
A figure rushed in and fiercely kicked Xiao Yuanzhao away: "Shameless!"
Xiao Yuanzhao didn't have time to dodge and was kicked so hard that he almost vomited blood, with a taste of rust in his throat.
Then the man grabbed the girl's hand and quickly fled the place.
Tsk, I miscalculated.
Xiao Yuanzhao held his chest and sat up.
In the dark night, his eyes were clear, so how could there be any sign of being drugged?
The people of Ling are so stupid that they don’t even know how to prescribe medicine!
He had sensed early on that someone was plotting against him, but he just thought it was fun and wanted to play along.
Later, when he was imprisoned in a place, he heard the idiot who tied him discussing with others.
Only then did he realize that it was Ling Yao, who didn't want to marry him, who was plotting against him and Princess Tang Ning.
It sounds really good. The more Xiao Yuanzhao listened to it, the more he felt that he was the one who benefited the most. After all, Princess Tangning was really good-looking, and she was also a mean person. The more she couldn't get something, the more curious she was about it.
So he waited obediently for someone to come and give him the medicine.
It did.
There was no hot reaction at all.
What kind of aphrodisiac is this from Lingguo? Xiao Yuanzhao was speechless.
But even if you haven’t eaten pork, have you seen a pig run?
Even without taking aphrodisiacs, he could have acted it out.
As long as the result is the same, it’s fine. Even if someone is held accountable, the fault is not his. It’s a matter involving their own people in Ling Country, so he can be considered a “victim.”
Who would have thought that even at this point, someone would pop out from nowhere!
Xiao Yuanzhao was so angry that he pounded the bed in the gloomy and dilapidated palace.
Pei Wuyou knew martial arts, and he carried the girl out of the broken palace.
Ling Qingyan felt that something was wrong with Pei Wuyou.
"Pei Wuyou, why are your hands so hot?"
The girl's gentle voice sounded beside him, and Pei Wuyou felt as if a string in his head was constantly being plucked.
"Sister, don't talk, let's go back to the palace first." Pei Wuyou's breathing was rapid. Ling Qingyan even felt that the person in front of her was more abnormal than Xiao Yuanzhao who had just been drugged.
Pei Wuyou held Ling Qingyan's hand tighter and tighter, a thin layer of sweat seeped out of his forehead, his throat was dry and astringent, and he was enduring to the extreme.
Finally, the two of them hurried back to Yaohua Palace.
Pei Wuyou collapsed on the ground as if he had used up all his energy.
His hands were clinging to the bed tightly.
Anyone with eyes could see his discomfort and pain.
Ling Qingyan was shocked when she saw him like this.
"Pei Wuyou, what's wrong with you?" Ling Qingyan's eyes were full of worry.
Pei Wuyou grabbed the hand beside the bed and grabbed the girl's wrist.
It was so hot that Ling Qingyan paused.
Pei Wuyou's eyes were red, as if he was about to cry.
"elder sister."
His voice was filled with grievance and longing.
"I was drugged."
