Before they could be surrounded, Yuan Yao took Danqing and quickly returned to the villa...
Back at the villa, she closed the door and urged Danqing, "Give it to me quickly!"
Danqing took out a pill from his sleeve.
Yuan Yao took it and asked, "Will this work?"
Danqing replied, "At that time, the princess only needs to bite open this pill, and the medicine will turn into the color of blood when it comes into contact with saliva."
Yuan Yao nodded: "Come on, apply powder to me. Remember, you must make it look like I've been poisoned!"
"Yes," Danqing replied.
Yuan Yao looked in the mirror: "Put some on my lips too..."
The two of them tinkered around in the room for a long time.
In the mirror, Yuan Yao's face was pale, with some bruises around her eyes and nose, and her lips were also white with a bluish tinge.
Yuan Yao said with satisfaction, "Sister Danqing, go find Father quickly! Remember, don't let too many people know, but you must let Xie Ning know! You must lure him here!"
"yes."
After Danqing left, Yuanyao lay alone on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
ah!
She almost forgot that she had a bodyguard by her side!
If the secret guards expose her plan...
Yuan Yao stared at the ceiling and asked the air, "Po Yue, do you think I look good now?"
Po Yue: "..."
Po Yue remained silent for a long while before speaking in a cold and sullen tone: "This subordinate does not know how to appreciate."
Don't you know how to appreciate it?
Yuan Yao was amused: "So, do you think I look better now, or before?"
"I can't see any change..." Po Yue replied.
"Can't you see any changes?" Yuan Yao almost laughed out of anger.
She's covered up so much makeup that she looks like a sickly person on the verge of death. How can that be the same as how cute and adorable she looked just now?
She asked doubtfully, "Poyue, are there really no problems with your eyes?"
Po Yue replied, "Ten feet away, there is an ant carrying a worm on its back, using a blade of grass as a shortcut."
Yuan Yao: "..."
I'm speechless.
She waved to Poyue: "From now on, you'll pretend to be deaf and blind! No matter what you hear or see, you're not allowed to say a word, understand?"
"What if His Majesty asks a question?" Po Yue wasn't stupid.
Yuan Yao thought for a moment and said, "When Father asks, just answer 'This subordinate didn't know it would be like this,' use the same phrase, understand?"
Po Yue: "..."
I don't really understand.
However, he still replied, "I understand."
Danqing appeared at the banquet in a panic.
The Ninth Prince glanced at her disdainfully: "What happened?"
Danqing hurriedly approached and whispered, "Your Highness, the Princess... the Princess said she has been poisoned."
"What?" The Ninth Prince immediately stood up.
He made a lot of noise, and for a moment, many people looked over.
Danqing quickly said, "The princess said it's best not to let outsiders know about this."
The Ninth Prince coldly said, "Take me there!"
The two hurriedly left the Moon Viewing Platform.
Yun Chan watched the two figures walk away, took a sip of her milk tea, and turned to ask, "A-Qi, have you seen A-Ning?"
Ah Ning?
Ah Qi craned his neck and looked around: "Before the banquet started, he said he was hungry and went to find something to eat. I haven't seen him since then."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chan frowned.
A Ning was brought onto the carriage by Dan Qing. Judging from the way he was talking to Yuan Yao, the two seemed to know each other.
But why did he have this vague feeling of unease?
A separate courtyard.
Yuan Yao was almost asleep in bed when suddenly she heard the door slam shut.
She was startled and quickly leaned to the side of the bed, closing her eyes.
She bit her tongue through a pill before the footsteps entered the room.
A warm liquid flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Yuan Yao thought: Why does this pill have such a strange taste?
It's so greasy!
How disgusting!
What are the ingredients in this medicine?!
The hidden moon: "..."
The Ninth Prince strode into the room: "Little Yao'er!"
Yuan Yao's eyelids twitched, and her voice was weak: "Father...save me..."
The Ninth Prince, his face grim, strode to the bedside, bent down, and reached out to lift her chin: "How could this be?"
Yuan Yao lifted her eyelids slightly, revealing a slit: "Father... Xie Ning fed me poison... Am I... going to die?"
"What did you say?" the Ninth Prince said through gritted teeth.
Xie Ning fed Yuan Yao poison?!
Yuan Yao's mouth moved slightly.
More liquid flowed out of his mouth.
Upon seeing this, the Ninth Prince angrily shouted, "Danqing! Summon the Imperial Physician!"
Danqing accepted the order and left.
While holding Yuan Yao's small hand, the Ninth Prince shouted at the sky, "Po Yue, get out here!"
The broken moon spun once, and the dark shadow landed.
The Ninth Prince glared at him furiously: "I sent you to stay by the Princess's side, and this is how you protect her?"
Po Yue knelt on one knee: "This subordinate did not know it would turn out this way."
The Ninth Prince was furious: "When did Xie Ning get close to the Princess?"
Po Yue replied, "This subordinate was unaware of this."
Nine Thousand Years Old: "?"
At this moment, Yuan Yao's shoulders trembled violently.
The Ninth Prince quickly looked down and asked, "Yao'er, are you feeling unwell?"
Yuan Yao then closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
She's not feeling unwell!
She was laughing so hard she was practically going crazy!
The broken moon, that's hilarious!
She said that if she asked him to use that phrase, he would only give that one answer, just like an artificial idiot!
The Ninth Prince was both anxious and angry, and shouted, "Broken Moon!"
Po Yue lowered his head slightly: "Your subordinate is here."
The Ninth Prince, suppressing his murderous intent, asked, "Xie Ning knows how to use poison, but his martial arts are not good. When did you let him get close to the Princess?"
Po Yue hesitated for a moment before replying, "Your Majesty, I was unaware of this."
puff……
Hahahaha!
Yuan Yao couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, her whole body trembling.
When the Ninth Prince looked at her, she almost couldn't hold back.
With tears of laughter streaming down her face, she looked at the Ninth Prince: "Father, Yao'er is in so much pain... Yao'er is afraid she's going to die... Waaah..."
She really can't keep up the act anymore!
Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate.
Po Yue steeled herself, got up, and disappeared...
A white-haired imperial physician, carrying a medicine chest, rushed in and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. Where is the Princess?"
The Ninth Prince, his anger palpable, said, "Quickly, take a look at what poison the Princess has been poisoned with."
The imperial physician walked to the bedside, took Yuan Yao's small hand, and began to take her pulse.
After a moment, he glanced at Yuan Yao, then at the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince narrowed his eyes: "What's wrong?"
"This... let this old minister take a closer look."
The imperial physician hesitated, then took out a handkerchief, wiped Yuan Yao's mouth, and squinted at her.
After reading it, he even stretched out his index finger, dipped it on Yuan Yao's lips, held it up to his eyes, widened his eyes, and wished he could see right through his finger.
Midway through, Yuan Yao secretly took a peek.
Upon seeing this, she felt a shiver run down her spine.
Where's the blood?
Where did the blood go?
The blood I was promised is actually a clear liquid.
Danqing!
She glared angrily at Danqing.
Danqing stood not far from the bed, grinning and giving her a bright smile.
Xie Ning!
He is Xie Ning!
Danqing has probably been replaced by him long ago!
