Chapter 444: Not Long to Live
"Then be honest and don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have! It's hard to say whether things can go smoothly. Keeping her might come in handy later. Don't forget that girl!"
Yunyan remembered Bai Lan's abnormal behavior when she heard this, and felt a little scared when she looked at Qianfeng.
"Don't worry, I won't ruin the relationship between my young lady and Prince Xiao."
Yunyan stared at the sleeping Song Yu for a few seconds and said, "Then I'll let you live two more days!"
Hearing the sound of the door being locked, Song Yu opened his eyes, quickly and nimbly got out of bed and went behind the screen at the end of the bed.
There is a door leading to the bathroom and toilet.
At this moment, Song Yu couldn't open the door at all because it was sealed.
Song Yu remembered that there was a door behind the main hall outside that could also lead him through.
He gently slid open the door of the inner room and tiptoed to the main hall outside.
The main hall door was locked. Song Yu glanced at the yard through the crack in the door and saw that there were guards inside and outside the yard.
Song Yu hurriedly walked around the carved hollow screen behind the Arhat couch at the top of the main hall and headed straight for the tightly closed carved secret door.
What made Song Yu despair was that this door was also sealed!
She must escape from here as soon as possible. Du Zhihuan disguised herself as her and entered the palace, and she would definitely attack the little prince.
Maybe even the Emperor!
Now the only hope is that the two of them can tamper with the peony fruit cake and delay it for a few more days.
I'm afraid they'll use other methods.
She couldn't go out, and her father didn't come back.
Didn't Dayuan have its country stolen? !
Song Yu forced himself to calm down and carefully checked the door in front of him.
After a moment, Song Yu discovered the loophole, relaxed his expression and went back to the inner room to check the door at the end of the bed.
Obviously, the door to the inner room was sealed tightly and there was no possibility of opening it.
Song Yu looked around and found nothing that suited his needs.
Song Yu suddenly thought of something, went to the dressing table and opened the right drawer, and a pair of scissors suddenly appeared in his sight.
Song Yu quickly picked it up, pulled out the hairpin on her head and went to the outer room to pry the door open.
Song Yu was worried about attracting the attention of the guards outside the courtyard, so he tried very hard to pry the door open, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Not only was there no progress, but there were also footsteps outside the door.
Song Yu was so scared that he held his breath and quickly returned to the inner room with the tools to pry the door.
As the door opened, Song Yu lay down on the bed.
Qianfeng came in with an old nanny and a maid, followed by Yunyan.
Qian Feng said to the two of them, "Serve them well and don't make any mistakes. Understand?"
"clear!"
Qianfeng gave Yunyan a warning look and left Luhuangyuan.
Song Yu slowly opened her eyes and saw that they were all waiting in the room. She said softly, "Come and help me, I need to go to the bathroom."
Mother Zhang and the maid beside her hurried forward and helped Song Yu up.
Song Yu seemed to have rickets, with most of his body lying on Mother Zhang.
Song Yu thought the two would help her to the bathroom, but they ended up going to the next room.
There are toilet buckets, bathtubs, washstands, washbasins and so on!
It was obviously moved from the bathroom!
what to do?
How to get out?
After Song Yu came back, he did not lie down on the bed, but went to the couch by the window. "You all should go out. Come back to serve me at lunch time."
Mother Zhang said nothing and took the maidservant outside.
Yunyan felt a little annoyed when she saw Song Yu like this.
Even though she was imprisoned, she remained calm and allowed others to serve her calmly!
It really makes me hate it!
Song Yu opened her eyes and saw her angry look. She slowly said, "I remember that you were carefully selected by my biological parents from the Du family's Wuwei Camp. I asked you to protect the Du family's daughter. I am your true master."
Yunyan was speechless for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, then heard Song Yu say: "I heard from my grandmother that your indentures are still in the Du family's Wuwei Camp. If you find a way to get me out safely, you can still survive."
Yunyan sneered, "The Marquis and his wife did ask us to protect the Du family's daughter. Although the young lady is not a biological daughter, she is still the Du family's daughter."
Song Yu said coldly, "You have to think it through. I'm giving you a chance to turn from evil to good! Don't think I don't know that Du Zhihuan is feigning illness. I guessed correctly that she and Prince Xiao were colluding to murder me. Lord Xiao Jiang, Prince Mu, and Princess Qingyang all knew about it."
Yunyan was shocked. How could Song Yu know everything?
"My lady's face is exactly yours, they won't notice it."
Song Yu: "Are you so confident? Don't forget that the red mole at the corner of Du Zhihuan's eye is fake. Even if they don't investigate it for the time being, Du Zhihuan will be exposed sooner or later. Once the truth is revealed, the only fate that awaits you is death!"
"Don't worry about it, I won't betray my lady!"
Yunshuang turned and left.
"At this hour, according to your original plan, I might have died long ago, but Prince Xiao saved me. Do you know why? Because Prince Xiao couldn't guarantee the smooth implementation of the plan. Why don't you take a bet on who has a better life, me or Du Zhihuan? Think about it carefully, my words will count!"
Yunyan stopped for a moment, closed the door of the inner room and went to the yard.
Song Yu saw that they were all staring at her outside the window. Wouldn't it be impossible for her to escape to the bathroom?
hateful!
Bai Lan put all the drugs and other things into the medicine box.
It seems that we can only think of a solution after dark.
Song Yu lay down.
I don't know how long it took, but I turned over facing the bed and accidentally caught a glimpse of something under the bed.
Song Yu took a closer look and was overjoyed!
Near noon, Xiao Chengqian and his group set up a pot and stove by a stream in a bamboo forest to cook lunch.
"Sister Yu." Xiao Chengqian came over with a bucket. "I caught a koi. Do you want to take it back to the city and raise it?"
Du Zhihuan took a look and said, "It's a red koi. It's so beautiful. Did you only find one? I want to raise a few more to keep it company."
"Over there, I'll go get it."
"I'll go with you. Does Cousin Meng want to come with us?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengqian looked at Cheng Qingmeng without blinking.
Cheng Qingmeng pursed her lips. Does Prince Xiao want to accompany his cousin to catch koi alone?
"I'm not going, cousin. You should go with Prince Xiao soon. If you don't go now, the koi will swim away."
The two left, and Cheng Qingmeng followed Jiang Shiyun from a distance behind.
When Wen Nuo thought that Xiao Chengqian might join forces with Du Zhihuan to harm his sister, he felt very uneasy about the two of them being alone together, so he followed him shamelessly.
Wen Shu looked at Du Zhihuan with some confusion in his eyes.
It’s my cousin for sure!
Why did he feel that his cousin seemed a little different?
Wen Shu told Jiang Guanchen his thoughts.
Jiang Guanchen looked at Du Zhihuan who was talking and laughing with Xiao Chengqian in the distance.
Her eyes were full of love for Master Xiao.
"You're right, there are indeed some differences. Your cousin seems to like Prince Xiao more than before, and it seems that she really likes him."
what to do?
My cousin loves Prince Xiao so much.
If Prince Xiao is a fake prince, even if he saves his life, he will be an ordinary commoner.
Wouldn’t it be a big loss for my cousin to follow him?
My cousin must marry well.
Mu Jingxing patted his shoulder and asked, "What are you looking at so intently?"
Jiang Guanchen retracted his gaze and said casually, "Nothing, it's just..."
Jiang Guanchen looked at Mu Jingxing's magnificent face and suddenly said something shocking, "Why don't you return to secular life and marry my cousin?"
Mu Jingxing frowned, "Which cousin?"
Jiang Guanchen's eyes widened. "You're not interested in women, so you were just pretending!"
Mu Jingxing: ...
Du Zhihuan saw Wen Nuo following closely beside her. She couldn't say a few words to her brother-in-law, and her mind raced.
"Xiao Nuo, go get Xiao Xue Gao and see if he can catch a fish?"
"Wait!"
After Wen Nuo left, Du Zhihuan casually fished in the water with her fishing net. Glancing at the people nearby, she whispered to Xiao Chengqian, "Song Yu knows I'm feigning illness. She suspects we might be colluding to harm her. The Jiang siblings, the Cheng siblings, and even the Wen family's young master know all about it."
Xiao Chengqian's face froze, and he said that Jiang Guanchen had paid a lot of attention to him along the way.
"Where are my cousins?"
"I've tested Cheng Qingmeng, but they probably don't know yet. We need to hurry up and make our next plan, otherwise they might find out if time passes."
At this time, Xiao Chengqian had to admire his father's foresight. He really couldn't delay!
"Sister Yu, when we return to the city, we will go directly to the palace to check on the little prince. I wonder if the emperor and the little prince will like the blue fruit-flavored peony fruit cake this time? Oh, by the way, is the blue fruit flavor delicious? After all, the taste has changed."
When Du Zhihuan saw him suddenly mention the peony fruit cake, she wondered if he wanted her to do something about it.
"Don't worry, the emperor and the little prince will definitely love it."
Du Zhihuan lowered her voice again and asked, "Did they tamper with the peony fruit cake?"
Xiao Chengqian nodded and quickly fished out a yellow koi. "You have to take good care of this koi, or it won't live long."
Not long to live?
Du Zhihuan quickly understood, but wasn't sure and asked again, "Brother Prince, how long do you think a fish can survive out of water?"
"Sister, why are you asking such a stupid question?" Wen Nuo came over with Little Snowball and Little Ice Cream in his arms. "Of course he won't survive in less than half a day."
Xiao Chengqian: "Sister Yu, Master Wen is right. I see we've already caught two koi. If we catch six more, making a total of eight, it would look great in the pond."
Du Zhihuan now understood everything completely. She thought about the things in the box that Yunque gave her and realized that it could indeed be done.
But if the emperor and the little prince suddenly died of a serious illness eight days later, wouldn’t that arouse suspicion among the court ministers?
Can his brother-in-law overcome all objections and successfully inherit the throne?
