A horse-drawn carriage discreetly drove out of the Imperial Guard camp.
The guard at the gate stopped him: "May I ask who is sitting in the carriage?"
The coachman cracked his whip: "How dare you! Who could possibly be allowed to enter and leave the Imperial Guard camp today?"
My young master is not feeling well and does not wish to watch the martial arts competition.
"You've been shouting and disturbing him; what is your punishment?"
The guards exchanged glances.
Today, those who can enter the Imperial Guard camp are indeed of extraordinary status.
Moreover, the scope of today's activities has been planned.
Apart from the designated activity areas, outsiders are not allowed to enter the rest of the area.
Therefore, they only prevent people from entering, but not from leaving.
So the barricades were moved.
The carriage left the Imperial Guard camp and sped off in the opposite direction from the capital...
In the stands.
Watching the guards easily take down one纨绔 (playboy) with each hand, Huaiyao felt utterly bored.
Just as she was about to drink her tea, her skirt was tugged.
The 700-pound glutinous rice ball was biting at the hem of her skirt with its teeth: "Tsk..."
This was the first time in his life that Huaiyao had been shown any affection by Tangyuan.
She frowned, a smug look on her face: "What's wrong, Tangyuan? Are you hungry?"
Tangyuan loosened her skirt and raised her big, chubby paw.
"Smack..."
The chair that Yuan Yao had been sitting on was smashed to pieces.
Huaiyao's eyes widened: "Tangyuan, what are you going to do?"
Tangyuan lifted its bottom, sat down on the ground, looked at her anxiously, and made a sound: "Aww..."
Huaiyao reached out and patted Tangyuan's chin: "Tangyuan, be good. If you're sleepy, lie down first. If you're hungry, just bear with it. When Yuan Xiaoyao comes back, she'll find someone to feed you."
Tangyuan wrinkled its nose and breathed fiercely and anxiously at Huaiyao: "Hiss..."
Huaiyao was startled.
At this moment, Feng Xun asked from the side, "Huaiyao, what's wrong?"
Huaiyao looked at Tangyuan, who had suddenly become angry, and felt a chill run down her spine: "I don't know either. Tangyuan suddenly became very agitated and bared her teeth at me..."
Before she could finish speaking, Tangyuan stood up, wagged its tail, and ran outside.
Just then, Feng Xun also came out of the stands.
Upon seeing Feng Xun, Tangyuan wagged its tail at him and yowled.
Huaiyao walked out, hands on her hips, and said, "You little rascal, you only yell at me, not at Fengxun!"
"Wait a minute, I'll tell Yuan Xiaoyao!"
Tangyuan: "Sizzle..."
Huaiyao glared at him angrily: "You stinky white tiger!"
Tangyuan turned her head and bit Feng Xun's robe hem, tugging at it twice.
"Sizzle..."
A piece of Feng Xun's robe was torn off.
Feng Xun wasn't angry. Instead, she asked gently, "Huaiyao, how long have Yao'er and Huairou been gone?"
Huaiyao casually remarked, "Has it been almost half an hour?"
Half an hour...
It's been that long?
After his initial surprise, Feng Xun's expression darkened slightly: "He hasn't come back for so long, something must have happened."
"Something happened?" Huaiyao was stunned.
She looked at Feng Xun: "Xie Zhi said that the camp is very safe today."
If it weren't for the strict control of the Imperial Guard camp, Yuan Yao wouldn't have entrusted all her secret guards to Xie Zhi...
Through the curtain, Feng Xun glanced at the other stands and then said, "I'll go look for them first. You stay here to avoid arousing suspicion."
Upon hearing this, Huaiyao immediately refused: "No, I'll go with you to find it!"
Feng Xun's voice was somewhat cold: "Huaiyao, you must stay."
This is the Imperial Guard camp. Apart from the women who came to watch the spectacle today, the rest of the people here are all men…
What will happen to Huairou and Yao'er's reputations if people find out they're missing?
Huaiyao was stunned.
Feng Xun said to her, "Wait here for my news. If I find them, I will bring them back soon."
Huaiyao frowned: "Okay, go and come back quickly!"
Feng Xun nodded and beckoned, "Tangyuan, lead the way!"
In the stands, Huaiyao was extremely anxious.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on the beautiful pumpkin-shaped teapot, and an idea popped into her head.
Grabbing the teapot, Huaiyao went to find Ye Changyou.
Ye Changyou was leisurely watching the martial arts competition below the stage when Huaiyao entered. He couldn't help but ask, "Where is Yuanyao?"
“Yuan Xiaoyao and my elder sister went to the carriage to get something.” After saying this, Huaiyao put down the teapot and said to Ye Changyou, “Yuan Xiaoyao said this tea is very good.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Changyou put down his teacup: "Yuan Yao really thinks it tastes good?"
Pour me some; I want to see what kind of tea she'd like.
"Why would I lie to you?" Huaiyao picked up an empty teacup, poured half a cup, and handed it to Ye Changyou.
Ye Changyou took the teacup and took a small sip.
"How is it?" Huaiyao asked.
Ye Changyou took a sip and pursed his thin lips: "This tea has a refreshing aroma and a smooth taste..."
So, Yuan Yao likes this kind of thing?
Huaiyao said from the side, "If you like to drink, then Ye Huang should drink more."
"By sampling more, we can better understand Yuan Xiaoyao's preferences."
He finished half a cup of tea, and Ye Changyou glanced sideways, saying, "Princess Huaiyao, you're really that kind?"
"Of course not." Huaiyao raised an eyebrow. "I'm just bored, looking for something to do and have some fun."
Ye Changyou frowned: "Heh..."
He knew it.
None of the people around Yuan Yao spoke up for him.
Doesn't anyone believe that he genuinely wants to marry Yuan Yao?
Ye Changyou took the teapot from Huaiyao's hand: "Give it to me."
He drank several glasses in a row, as if they were wine.
Not long after they finished drinking, a sound broke out in the quiet stands—
"Gurgle..."
Ye Changyou roared in fury: "Jiang Huaiyao, what did you give me to drink?"
Huaiyao jumped up, clutching the teapot: "This tea is definitely problematic!"
Is there something wrong with the tea?
What's the problem?
Enraged, Ye Changyou ordered someone to bring him a chamber pot while pointing at Huaiyao and saying in anguish, "You just wait!"
However, in the blink of an eye, Huaiyao disappeared without a trace.
On the martial arts field, Xie Zhi and Yun Chan, dressed in all black and disguised as having a delicate and ordinary face, were fighting fiercely.
He wiped the blood from his lips, looked up, and saw Huaiyao rushing towards him.
Yun Chan sheathed her sword and looked at Huai Yao: "What happened?"
Huaiyao knew Yunchan's identity. Although she didn't recognize the face, she could tell just by her temperament.
Huaiyao ran to the two of them, lowered her voice, and said anxiously, "There's something wrong with this pot of tea. Yuan Xiaoyao and my elder sister felt unwell after drinking it..."
They've been gone for half an hour and haven't returned yet..."
"How could this be?" Xie Zhi gripped the hilt of his sword, pushed himself up, and stood up. "Let me see the tea!"
“No need to look!” Huaiyao said, “I sensed something was wrong, so I made Ye Changyou drink it, and he felt unwell after drinking it.”
Yun Chan: "..."
Xie Zhi: "..."
Xie Zhi's legs went weak, and he said in a slurred voice, "How could this be? It was clearly..."
He had clearly been preparing for many days...
It should have been foolproof!
Yun Chan sheathed her sword and said coldly, "Find the person first."
After speaking, he strode out of the martial arts arena.
Xie Zhiren panicked.
A deputy general of the Imperial Guard jogged over and asked, "General, what has happened?"
Xie Zhi said with difficulty, "Close the gates of the Imperial Guard camp immediately. No one is allowed to leave without permission!"
If anyone asks, just say I lost a valuable personal item…
