Chapter 125
Li Zhiwei's face darkened.
This might be true.
After all, they all had bodyguards around them, yet they were still captured, which clearly meant that someone they knew had targeted them.
However, what she didn't understand was that Yao Shuheng should only know that Qinghua and Qingyue were by her side, and that everyone else was being protected in secret.
Could it be that Yao Shuheng also discovered their existence?
Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei looked at Yao Shuheng with suspicion.
Yao Shuheng was somewhat evasive; he hadn't expected this person to take the money and not do the job.
The guards had actually been nearby the whole time, but they hadn't come out because they wanted Li Zhiwei to see Yao Shuheng's true colors.
After all, they are Xu Heming's people, and they must not only protect the safety of Li Zhiwei and Xu Qingshi, but also safeguard the position of the prince's empress.
When such an ambitious person appeared in Miss Li's life, they thought of clearing away obstacles for their prince and letting Miss Li see through his evil intentions.
Yesterday they saw Yao Shuheng talking to Liu Mazi, but they didn't think much of it at the time. However, today, after Yao Shuheng sent Qinghua and Qingyue away, they saw Liu Mazi gesturing to Yao Shuheng from behind.
At that time, Chang Boyuan, the head of the secret guards, told everyone to wait and see.
As long as people are not in danger, they will remain inactive for the time being.
Moreover, the other party was only one person and didn't seem to have much fighting ability, so they felt relieved.
The next day, Li Tianyou woke up feeling unwell all over.
I have a severe headache and feel completely drained.
"Master, you're awake!" The servant Zhuzi saw that Li Tianyou had woken up and quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"Why is it you? Where's Zhou Tong?" Li Tianyou asked, looking at the pillar in confusion.
After all, Zhou Tong had always been serving him.
He had also gotten used to Zhou Tong's care.
“Sir, Manager Zhou drank too much with you last night and is still hungover,” Zhu Zi said, his eyes darting around.
Last night, Prince An was really frightening, so they didn't dare to say anything and just said he was drunk.
Zhu Zi felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about the danger of last night. Who would have thought that the wine sent by the new son-in-law could be poisoned?
However, he dared not utter a single word about this matter.
After all, that's a matter that could cost you your head, so whatever thoughts you have in mind, you can only keep them to yourself.
"You're drunk after drinking so little? This Zhou Tong isn't even as good as this old man." Li Tianyou stood up somewhat unsteadily with the help of the pillar.
"Master is still vigorous despite his advanced age," Zhu Zi praised at the opportune moment.
"I'm getting old, I can't do it anymore." Li Tianyou also felt that he hadn't drunk much last night, but he felt a little dizzy today.
It's true that I'm getting old; with such a low alcohol tolerance, I've gotten myself into this state.
"Master, the Prince wants you to rest well at home for the next two days. Don't worry about the affairs of the yamen for now, and you don't need to attend the morning court for the next two days either," Zhu Zi said quickly, remembering Xu Heming's instructions from last night.
"Oh, so he suddenly had a change of heart and let me rest?" Li Tianyou said sarcastically.
"His Highness still cares about you," Zhu Zi said with a smile.
