The purpose, of course, was to attract her, the future sister-in-law, who was also the only person on good terms with Xue Jinqiao, to look for her.
Shen Xihe fulfilled her wish. They left the banquet place and went to ask the servants. Some of them didn't know, some were vague. Finally, they came to a remote small courtyard. Zhenzhu, who had sharp ears and eyes, had not yet noticed that someone was lurking, but Shen Xihe had already sensed a unique fragrance.
Suddenly, someone blew out several tiny needles from a bamboo tube. Pearl reacted and turned to avoid one, but was still stabbed in the arm by one. Pearl felt her arm go numb: "Princess... hurry up..."
Shen Xihe looked solemn. He reached out to support Zhenzhu, as if wanting her to go with him.
At this time, another needle flew over. Shen Xihe dodged but failed to get out of the way. A needle also appeared on the arm she was covering. Zhenzhu had already fallen down. She also suddenly felt a black screen in front of her eyes and fainted along with Zhenzhu.
Then someone ran out, and two people struggled to move them one by one into the house in the yard. Zhenzhu was placed in a separate room, and next to it was a bedroom. Shen Xihe was thrown on the bed.
About half an incense stick of time had passed, and the unique fragrance of Princess Yangling brushed past Shen Xihe's nostrils. She took out the medicine bottle and was about to pinch Shen Xihe's mouth when Shen Xihe suddenly opened his eyes. She was so scared that her hand trembled and the medicine bottle in her hand fell down, but was caught steadily by another hand.
When she turned around, she saw Zhenzhu with a gloomy face. When she turned back again, she saw that her two palace maids had fallen silently.
Before she could shout, she was stabbed by the pearl silver needle. Her body went limp and she didn't even have the strength to speak.
Shen Xihe stood up gracefully from the bed and ordered calmly, "Give her the drink."
When Zhenzhu was feeding Princess Yangling the potion, Shen Xihe walked to the incense burner nearby, took out a fire starter, lit a piece of spice and threw it in, then covered the burner. After Zhenzhu had stripped Princess Yangling of her clothes, hid her on the bed, and lowered the curtains, Shen Xihe kicked one of the palace maids.
The maid opened her eyes, her gaze was clear, and she immediately retreated silently and went to the banquet site to inform Munuha.
Pushing Princess Yangling into the water the day before yesterday was to make her clearly aware of his determination to kill her. At the same time, he also deliberately wanted to replace the maidservants around Princess Yangling. Now, two people have been replaced by one of hers.
Munuha was a Turkic prince, so naturally he couldn't move around freely in the Dai Palace. Only Princess Yangling could handle matters in the Dai Palace.
Munuha had been waiting, and finally the maid of Princess Yangling came. The maid winked at Munuha, and Munuha found an excuse to leave. The maid took him all the way to the room: "The princess said that this matter has nothing to do with her. She has left first, and I will take my leave too."
The servant girl bowed and ran away, closing the door behind her. The room was filled with a faint fragrance and the sound of a woman's unbearable moans could be heard faintly from the drawn curtains. Munuha suddenly felt hot and thought that it was Shen Xihe's moans that were particularly alluring.
He strode forward. The room was unlit and even when he opened the curtains, he could only see the delicate curves. Munuha wanted to light a lamp to see the person in the bed clearly, but he felt as if his whole body was on fire. The person in the bed was also moaning alluringly. His blood boiled and a sense of excitement rushed to his brain. He didn't care about anything else and just covered herself with him.
