"I thought Your Highness opened the window for me because he wanted to meet me here." Wu Qi spit out his snake tongue, and his voice was a clear boyish voice.
"This is the only time. Don't show up in the side hall again to avoid alerting the enemy." Ye Luo said coldly.
Wu Qi swam into the house through the window, making sure no one noticed before changing back into human form. "Don't worry, Your Highness. The Crown Princess went out of the palace for an outing today and won't be back so early."
He walked calmly to Ye Luo, sat down opposite him, and picked up the teapot familiarly to pour himself a cup of cold tea.
Ye Luo sneered, "You know how to entertain yourself."
Wu Qi drank the cold tea in one gulp, "Your Highness, even if I drink a sip of your water, you wouldn't be so stingy!"
He turned around and looked around the cold room, shaking his head and sighing, "Your Highness, how about I bring you a quilt?" His eyes stopped at the spider web in the corner of the wall, "If that doesn't work, I can use a robot to clean your room."
"No, I can't stay for long."
Wu Qi slapped his head, pulled out a map from the space hub, and spread it on the table. "The dungeon has been ruled out. I also checked the Queen's study last night, but I couldn't find the other half of the antidote."
Ye Luo lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the three locations circled on the map, namely the study, the dungeon, and Yu Nian's bedroom.
Now, all three places have been searched, but there is no clue at all.
Half of the antidote was found in Yu Nian's study, but the other half is still missing.
"How about you return to the Federation with us, Your Highness, and let the doctors try to prepare an antidote?"
Ye Luo shook his head. "The people in the Federation are still watching me, especially them. If they knew I disappeared from the Empire, they would definitely be more alert. Although there are witnesses to what happened back then, we are missing the most powerful piece of physical evidence. Besides, I still have to continue investigating the cause of my father's death."
Wu Qi's ears suddenly moved, and he said alertly: "Someone is coming outside, I'll leave first."
Ye Luo nodded.
The person sitting on the chair instantly turned into a slender black snake, disappeared into the shadows and completely vanished.
The half-open window happened to reveal the light in the bedroom that had just been turned on. A slender figure was reflected in the window, followed by another taller figure.
The two figures almost overlapped.
Ye Luo suddenly remembered the scent he smelled during the day, and his eyes became darker. His pair of bright yellow pupils looked as dim as a ghost fire under the bright light.
On the other hand, Yu Nian, who had just returned to the palace, received an ultimatum from the Queen Mother: five days later, she and Yu Zhaozhao would go to the M galaxy to complete the mission. Before that, she needed to arrange her time reasonably and interview five outstanding candidate beast husbands one by one.
Feixing retreated after conveying the message, but his gaze lingered on Han Chen for a moment.
He could see that Han Chen cared, even though this cold-faced guard hid it very secretly.
Yu Nian looked at the five request messages on his terminal in distress and said distressedly: "Why don't I contact them tomorrow? It's already nine o'clock today."
Han Chen stood beside her, his eyes silently fixed on Yu Nian. His throat moved as if he wanted to say something, but he finally looked away and said, "Your Highness, I'll go see if the bathroom is ready."
The moment the man turned his head, his blue eyes dimmed.
The shadows reflected on the window, one tall and one short, overlapped and swayed slowly, as if clearly showing the intimacy between the two people.
Yu Nian had just finished taking a shower and was wiping her wet hair when she heard a light knock at the window.
"Who is it?"
"It's me."
Yu Nian opened the window suspiciously and was a little surprised when she saw Ye Luo's face. "Ye Luo, why are you knocking on the window in the middle of the night?"
In fact, she wanted to ask him why he didn't knock on the door.
The night dew was heavy, and the man's plain clothes seemed to be soaked in a spot. "It just suddenly occurred to me that Your Highness has gone to such great lengths to help me avoid His Majesty's punishment. I think Your Highness must be an extremely kind person. Why don't You just be a good person and help me cure the poison in my body?"
Yu Nian was stunned for a moment. She had originally thought that Ye Luo now hated her extremely. Instead of jumping around in front of him and making him hate her even more, it would be better to disappear for a while and then quietly provide help.
She didn't expect that Ye Luo would come to her for help in detoxification.
Yu Nian vaguely remembered that the original text simply described: Yu Zhaozhao privately went to the queen mother to ask for the antidote, but was scolded instead. In the end, it was the heroine's guards who took advantage of the queen's serious illness and sneaked into the secret room in her study to get the antidote.
Yu Nian's eyes lit up instantly. If she had saved the villain's life, even if he hated her, he would not go against Tian Gang and kill his savior.
Ye Luo only saw Yu Nian's eyes rolling around, revealing a hint of cunning and secret joy, "Don't worry, I can find a way for you."
She sighed in embarrassment, "But this is not an easy matter. After all, the antidote is with the Queen Mother. If I ask her directly, she will definitely not give it to me."
"It's nothing. Your Highness is willing to help me get the antidote. I am already very grateful." The corners of the man's lips curled up slightly.
He hadn't had any hope for this in the first place, and the fact that Yu Nian actually said she would get an antidote for him was enough to surprise him.
"If Your Highness knows where the antidote is stored, I can find a way myself."
"That won't work!"
In that case, what kind of savior am I to him?
To be honest, given the Queen Mother's favor towards her, Yu Nian felt that if she asked directly, there was a possibility of success. She had just pretended to be difficult just to make it seem like she had spent a lot of energy and owed more favors to others. But if Ye Luo was allowed to steal the antidote by himself, the help she provided would seem insignificant.
"Although this is somewhat difficult to accomplish, it's not impossible. You're just a hostage in the Empire, so how can you come up with a solution?"
She sighed, "I always beat and scolded you before, but it wasn't because I hated you, but... I cared about you. It's just that the way I expressed it at that time was too childish."
Yu Nian said it out loud, not even believing what she was making up, but she thought that since the words had been said, she was not the one who should be bothered by it.
"I will find a way to find the antidote, but it may take some time."
Ye Luo never thought that the person in front of him was timid, but what he said was so shocking that it even made some sense.
"So, Your Highness's previous treatment of me was not out of dislike, but out of affection?"
He said softly, staring at Yu Nian with his golden eyes without blinking.
Yu Nian felt more and more guilty after seeing this.
He wouldn't really believe it, would he? Are villains so easily fooled?
