Chapter 286 That’s not certain
Who would send someone to assassinate someone in broad daylight? Especially at a birthday party in front of everyone!
No matter how you look at it, this is all a drama arranged by Prince Yu!
Uh, thinking of this, Qi Wuyou was speechless for a while, and thought to himself: "Prince Yu is not going to be a hero to save the beauty and take An Ning down directly!"
"Oh, this Prince Yu is such a naive man!" Qi Wuyou shook his head secretly. He didn't think An Ning would be fooled.
Not to mention that the current An Ning is the Nianhulu An Ning who survived a great disaster, even her previous self would not necessarily be deceived by such a trick.
Thinking of this, a hint of curiosity flashed across Qi Wuyou's eyes, and he secretly wondered in his heart: "What exactly does Prince Yu want to do?"
She couldn't help but look forward to what would happen next, wanting to see what this Prince Yu was up to.
Qi Wuyou's pair of bright eyes moved around the hall, as if looking for something.
She thought to herself that if Prince Yu really arranged such a drama, then he would most likely be hiding in some corner, secretly observing their every move.
At this moment, Qi Wuyou paused in his search and his eyes fell on the corridor outside the hall.
She vaguely felt that there was a figure there, and from a distance, this person's figure was somewhat similar to Xuan Yelan.
Could this be Prince Yu himself? Qi Wuyou speculated in his heart.
"Second Master Shen," Qi Wuyou said softly, pointing in that direction, and asked curiously, "Is the person over there Prince Yu?"
Hearing Qi Wuyou's question, Shen Yi looked in the direction she pointed, then nodded and replied, "Yes, that is His Royal Highness Prince Yu."
An Ning also came to her senses at this moment and realized that something was wrong.
She turned her head and glared at Shen Yi, questioning him, "Hey, Shen Er, is this a conspiracy between you and Prince Yu?"
When Shen Yi heard An Ning ask this, he felt very unhappy and thought she was being too rude.
But he still patiently answered seriously: "I don't know! Didn't I say I haven't been here for a long time! And I don't know what's going on with Prince Yu."
Suddenly, Shen Yi changed the subject and his tone became somewhat joking: "But judging from the current situation, it can be basically confirmed..."
However, Shen Yi was always so frivolous that he did not forget to make a few jokes even at this critical moment: "It seems that our Miss Yu is really charming. She can actually make His Royal Highness Prince Yu do such a stupid thing."
When An Ning heard this, she was immediately furious. She stood up abruptly, grabbed Shen Yi's ear, and refused to let go, cursing, "You damn Shen Er, take back what you just said right now! Otherwise, I will never let you go!"
Shen Yi's teasing words really irritated An Ning.
She just glanced at Prince Yu from a distance and thought he looked effeminate and really annoying.
Now I heard that he wants to marry me, it's like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh!
Shen Yi's words were clearly an insult to her personality and taste.
Shen Yi cried out in pain, "Aunt, I was wrong! I shouldn't have joked around like that. Please forgive me!"
An Ning snorted coldly, and let go of Shen Yi's hand as he begged for mercy. "If it happens again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Shen Yi rubbed his ears, and his tone unconsciously became timid, "Got it, Miss."
An Ning snorted coldly, no longer looking at Shen Yi, but staring at Xuan Yemin's figure.
The same was true for Shen Yi. He put away his previous cynical demeanor and became serious and earnest: "Ladies, under the current circumstances, it is best for us not to show up."
"But they actually started fighting here. It's impossible for us to leave quietly." An Ning frowned, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.
"Not always."
Suddenly, a calm voice came, breaking the tense atmosphere.
The one who spoke was Lianxiang, who was protecting Qi Wuyou. Her eyes were calm and confident, and she seemed to have her own plan to take them out of Prince Yu's Mansion safely.
She was seen groping in the corner where they were standing, and then she heard a "click" and a crack appeared in the wall behind them.
Shen Yi looked at this scene in surprise, his heart full of doubts.
"This..." Shen Yi was about to ask, but swallowed the words back.
At this moment, the most important thing is to leave here as soon as possible.
Qi Wuyou and An Ning looked at each other, and a hint of tacit understanding flashed in their eyes.
They followed Lianxiang and walked into this secret passage.
The three of them walked cautiously along the narrow passage. There was a damp smell all around them and a stale smell in the passage.
Finally, they reached the exit of the secret passage and the view in front of them suddenly opened up.
The exit is in the back garden of Prince Yu's Mansion. At this time, most of the servants in the mansion are in the front yard, and there are not many people in the back yard.
"I didn't expect that there was such a secret passage in Prince Yu's Mansion." Shen Yi sighed as he walked.
"Let's stop talking about it and leave here quickly." An Ning urged.
Several people followed Lianxiang and quietly reached the back door of Prince Yu's Mansion, and then they walked out of the Mansion.
Since Shen Yi was one of their own, Qi Wuyou and An Ning did not hide the truth, but took Shen Yi directly back to the Jade Mansion through the secret passage.
After sending Qi Wuyou and An Ning back safely, He Xiang and Lian Xiang quietly slipped out of the mansion again and returned to the little corner along the same route they came out.
However, when they came back, He Xiang and Lian Xiang had disguised themselves as Qi Wuyou and An Ning respectively.
They came back at the right time, and Xuan Yemin was able to deal with the "assassin".
During this turmoil, several guests died and even Prince Yu's concubine was injured.
Princess Yu didn't look well either, with her hair disheveled and her clothes in disarray.
They had hidden under the table when the assassin came in and were now in a very miserable state.
Only after Xuan Yemin subdued the assassin did they crawl out from under the table.
Xuan Yemin supported his shaky body, but when he saw Princess Yu and the concubine again, a flash of disgust flashed across his face.
Xuan Yemin was quite a fighter. He Xiang had tried to assassinate him twice before. Once he almost died, and the second time made him a eunuch.
But in order to win An Ning's big golden bead, Xuan Yemin actually went into battle with an injury? He really values money over life!
Xuan Yemin looked at the unfinished game in front of him, and the grief and guilt on his face did not seem fake.
He bowed to the guest and said a few polite words, the general meaning of which was to give a satisfactory answer.
He turned around and ordered his subordinates, "Seal off the scene and check all the guests. Don't let any of them go."
The guests were stunned when they heard this. It was bad enough that they came to attend the princess' birthday party and suffered this unexpected disaster, and now they had to be interrogated.
But under the pressure from Prince Yu, they could only swallow their anger.
Afterwards, Xuan Yemin looked at Princess Yu and the concubine and said coldly, "You should go back to your room and rest first."
Princess Yu and the concubine supported each other and nodded in response.
