She would always put the pill in her pocket when she changed her clothes, so now she could use it to escape the detection of these two people.
So she took advantage of the darkness of the night, when the two were still talking and not noticing her, and took out the pill, pinched off the gold paper and beeswax on its surface, put it in her mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
After swallowing it, Ye Jinyun felt something. First, her breathing began to slow down, then her heartbeat gradually stopped, and her vision slowly became blurred. But the strange thing was that she could still hear sounds until she finally fell into darkness, but they were not very clear.
So she also heard it in a trance. After the man said he wanted to stab him again, the maid felt it was not appropriate and stopped him, saying:
"If I give him another stab, I'm afraid it'll be discovered when blood oozes out."
The man continued, "Then smother her to death. That should be enough."
The maid seemed to agree with this idea, so she went forward to check her.
She first put her hand on Ye Jinyun's pulse and found that she had no pulse at all. She listened to her heartbeat and breathing out of concern, and after finding that there was no heartbeat and breathing either, she nodded to the man, indicating that she was dead.
So the man saw that she had died, and without any further care, he picked up Ye Jinyun's "corpse" and placed it on the cart that had been prepared early in the morning. Together with the bodies of several other maids who needed to be dealt with, they headed towards the palace gate.
After the man left, the maid quickly returned to Helian Rongxia's bedroom. She had just climbed in through the window and lay on the ground pretending to be unconscious when footsteps were heard outside.
The maids who had diarrhea finally stopped when they were about to collapse, so they hurriedly dragged their weak bodies back to their work.
But when they arrived outside the temple, they found that there was no one outside. The sister who did not have diarrhea and was supposed to help them keep watch was not guarding outside the house, and the room was also quiet.
So the braver ones among them reached out and pushed open the door, but found that the maid who was on duty for them was lying unconscious on the ground, and the lady they were supposed to guard in the palace was nowhere to be seen.
Everyone was shocked and quickly took out the whistle given by the king so that they could contact the secret guards in case of emergency and blew it. Several secret guards were still searching for the assassin in the palace. When they heard the whistle, they immediately thought something was wrong and flew back.
As soon as they landed, they hurriedly asked what had happened. After the maids explained to them, they immediately concluded that someone had taken the opportunity to kidnap Ye Jinyun, and the assassin just now must have been a decoy, deliberately trying to lure them away.
So he immediately mobilized the palace guards to search the palace first. After all, the assassin was in the same group as the kidnapper, and they might be hiding in this palace.
