"Who are you?" Even though being held in Cui Jinbai's arms, Shen Xihe remained calm and composed.
Cui Jinbai didn't dare to do anything bad to her!
"Princess, do you really want to know?" Cui Jinbai lowered his head slightly and asked in her ear in an extremely gentle and ambiguous tone.
"Aren't you curious about how I can tell your identity?" Shen Xihe never lets himself be at a disadvantage.
He was curious, very curious.
Over the years, he has perfected his ability to transform into a human being. Even his closest people are unable to detect it. However, this princess always guessed it correctly.
"The princess is very insightful." Cui Jinbai said lazily, "But I don't want to trade with the princess."
After a pause, he moved closer, his lips about to touch Shen Xihe's round earlobe: "Just because... I will only be honest with my future wife, if the princess is willing..."
Before Cui Jinbai could finish his teasing words, he felt a pain in his waist and abdomen, and Shen Xihe broke free from him in an instant.
Mo Yu flew over with a sword in his hand. Cui Jinbai lifted the corner of the cloth on the table and things flew towards Mo Yu. By the time Mo Yu waved these things away, Cui Jinbai was nowhere to be found.
Mo Yu was about to chase after him, but Shen Xihe stopped him, "No need to chase after him."
The others who were startled also stopped.
Shen Xihe touched her wrist. There was a white jade and gold bracelet on her wrist. It was actually three white jade arcs connected with gold. The gold-inlaid parts with exquisite patterns were hollow and had tiny needles inside. This was made for her for self-defense by a master that Shen Yun'an had asked.
It's just that Shen Yun'an only dipped the needle in anesthetic, it would be better if it was poison...
"Except for my house, he looks like a junior official in the Dali Temple since he is wearing an official robe. Are we going to hunt down an official appointed by the imperial court in broad daylight?" Shen Xihe glanced at a few people and said, "Get ready. We will enter the city immediately."
We should have entered the city a long time ago, but this guy has delayed us for so long.
On the other hand, Cui Jinbai was actually poisoned by Shen Xihe's soft bone fragrance, but he was just holding on. Otherwise, how could he have been so easily ambushed by Shen Xihe
Fortunately, the incense didn't penetrate him too deeply, so he ran out and took a few more breaths, exhaled a few times and it was over. However, Shen Xihe's needle made him even weaker and weaker. He finally managed to hold on until he reached the Dali Temple and went straight to his own palace, where he had a separate room to handle official business.
As soon as I entered the room, my eyes went dark and I barely closed the door.
"Your Highness!" The real Cui Jinbai and Tian Yuan who were waiting in the room were shocked and quickly stepped forward to support Xiao Huayong.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? I'll go and ask Mr. Yu right away..."
"Just a little anesthetic, no need to make a fuss." Xiao Huayong stopped Tian Yuan and sat on the bamboo couch, "Take off my official uniform."
The anesthetic only made Xiao Huayong's body numb, but his mind was still alert and clear.
As soon as Cui Jinbai put on his official uniform, he heard Xiao Huayong's order: "Father is still waiting for your reply, just report to the emperor that Linglong is a spy sent by Prince Kang's Mansion to Princess Zhaoning."
"Yes." Cui Jinbai bowed and retreated. He really had to go to the palace immediately to report to the emperor.
His Majesty personally asked him to investigate the matter early this morning.
After Cui Jinbai left, Tian Yuan was worried: "Your Highness, please ask Mr. Yu to come over. Will this anesthetic affect the poison in your body?"
