Chapter 204: Night Raid on the Prince of Lin'an's Mansion
Luo Lan took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger, but she couldn't let it explode.
The two people in front of her were people she couldn't afford to offend.
“Miss Sun, it was my fault. I didn’t think things through enough and caused trouble for the princess. You don’t need to speak up for me.”
As she spoke, Luo Lan lowered her head, her eyes red-rimmed.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Princess Lin'an gave a smug hum.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking to herself: At least she has some sense; she knows how to speak properly.
Sun Jiayi's scrutinizing gaze subtly swept back and forth between the two of them.
But a hint of smugness had already appeared on her face, and she knew that the two of them didn't actually have much affection for each other.
"As long as you know."
Princess Lin'an's face was cold, and her voice was sinister.
Seeing this, Luo Lan bit her lip tightly and said nothing more.
……
At the same time, Lin Rusi is also investigating the mastermind behind this incident.
But perhaps the other party never expected her to escape, and therefore did not make much effort to conceal her.
Therefore, Lin Rusi did not have to exert much effort to find out who Sun Jiayi was.
Thinking about what they had done, Wanxia's face turned extremely ugly.
"Your Highness, how about I teach them a lesson by poisoning them?" Wanxia asked coldly.
Seeing this, Lin Rusi simply chuckled and did not respond.
These people deserve a lesson; Lin Rusi doesn't want to waste her time on them.
But Wanxia took her silence as tacit consent, gritted her teeth, took the poison, turned and left.
Just then, Li Jingyang happened to return.
When he smelled the strange scent in the air, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.
If I'm not mistaken, that smell was definitely poison.
But why did Wanxia carry poison with her when she went out?
For a moment, a hint of worry appeared in Li Jingyang's eyes. He knew that Wanxia always acted with discretion and would not act recklessly.
Li Jingyang's heart inexplicably quickened, worried that something might happen. So he turned to Ye Qing and instructed, "Ye Qing, secretly follow them and see what they're up to."
"Yes, Master!" Ye Qing replied and turned to leave.
Looking at his retreating figure, Li Jingyang's eyes darkened.
He sighed softly and turned slightly.
Lin Rusi was sitting on the sofa with a headache on her face and a faint expression in her eyes.
Li Jingyang approached and asked softly, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing." Lin Rusi shook her head and didn't say anything more.
But the man stared at her, smiled gently, and suddenly asked, "Rusi, what did Wanxia go to do?"
As he spoke, there was some worry in his eyes. Now, looking directly at Lin Rusi, his eyes held a hint of coldness.
Hearing this, Lin Rusi pursed her lips slightly.
She suddenly sat up straight and stared intently at Li Jingyang, while the man simply took a step forward silently.
"Go ahead and say it," Li Jingyang said, knowing she had something to say, and he was equally frank.
“I sent Wanxia to teach those two arrogant fools a lesson; they might cause trouble.”
Lin Rusi felt a little guilty and cautiously looked at Li Jingyang.
Upon hearing this, the man simply smiled gently, as if he hadn't noticed: "It doesn't matter, I'll always cover for you when you get into trouble."
Lin Rusi immediately pursed her lips, her expression becoming even more radiant. She leaned forward slightly, meeting the man's gaze: "Really?"
“Of course it’s true, you don’t need to worry about anything, Rusi.” Li Jingyang’s eyes were so gentle they seemed to melt your heart.
"Thank you!"
Infected by the look in his eyes, Lin Rusi's heart skipped a beat, and she unconsciously relaxed her body.
The man moved slightly closer, his breath hitting Lin Rusi's face.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Wanxia walked very fast, while Ye Qing followed easily behind her.
Suddenly, we came to a bend in the road.
Wanxia suddenly turned around, her eyes unusually cold.
Startled by her sudden turn, Ye Qing gasped and leaned heavily against the wall.
"I was terrified. This little girl is quite perceptive."
He complained as he cautiously peeked out, only to find that Wanxia had vanished.
Ye Qing looked around, her expression somewhat bewildered.
Just then, Wanxia suddenly appeared and patted Ye Qing on the shoulder.
At the same time, she mischievously lowered her voice and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ye Qing jumped up in fright, but still instinctively attacked Wanxia.
Wanxia swiftly retaliated, and the two immediately became entangled.
"Why are you following me?" Wanxia questioned.
She had already noticed that this person was following her suspiciously, but she didn't know what he was doing.
Seeing that he had been discovered, Ye Qing stopped pretending and immediately withdrew his hand, saying rather unhappily, "It's because Your Highness was worried that you sent me to help keep an eye on things!"
He spoke with a rather arrogant air, and seeing this, Wanxia snorted and threw two bottles into his hands.
"Since you're here to help, here you go."
Ye Qing observed for a moment, a hint of confusion in his eyes: "What's going on?"
"This is poison," Wanxia replied jokingly, without trying to hide it.
In an instant, Ye Qing's expression changed drastically, and he almost threw her away.
"Try throwing it out there!"
Seeing this, Wanxia raised an eyebrow, suddenly reached out and grabbed the bottle back, warning it with a cold face.
As expected, Ye Qing withdrew his hand, his expression twisted: "What are you doing with so much poison?!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Wanxia glared at him with displeasure.
"Shh, don't you know you can't talk when you're doing something bad?!" Wanxia lowered her voice, and the two of them tiptoed inside.
Ye Qing then realized that they were actually in the Prince of Lin'an's mansion.
Immediately, Ye Qing became anxious: "What are you doing?! We can't deal with the people from the Prince of Lin'an's mansion!"
"Didn't you come here to help me?" Wanxia asked back.
Seeing this, Ye Qing stopped talking and followed her carefully to avoid the patrol guards of the Prince of Lin'an's mansion.
Before long, the two found the Princess of Lin'an's small courtyard.
Before they could even get close, Wanxia heard Princess Lin'an cursing.
"Damn Lin Rusi! You bitch!"
"You useless piece of trash who's good for nothing and good for making things worse! Damn Luo Lan! It's all your fault, otherwise why would Sun Jiayi be mocking you!"
Princess Lin'an, in a fit of rage, cursed everyone, including Sun Jiayi.
She seemed to hate everyone equally.
Hearing this, Wanxia clicked her tongue. This woman deserved it; even at a time like this, she still couldn't control her mouth.
Thinking this, she snatched a bottle from Ye Qing's hand and blew it out into Princess Lin'an's room.
Ye Qing instinctively tried to stop her, but Wanxia was faster. Before he could stop her, she had already blown the powder in.
Ye Qing's eyes widened in surprise as she exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
But it was too late.
The medicine powder took effect quickly. Princess Lin'an suddenly felt itchy all over her body and scratched uncomfortably.
But doing so had no effect at all; in fact, it had the opposite effect.
Soon after, a sharp, mournful scream came from inside the house, both tragic and eerie.
When Wanxia first heard this, her face turned slightly pale.
But when she thought about how this matter concerned Lin Rusi, she felt no sympathy at all, and instead watched the show with her arms crossed.
It's a pity we can't see what's inside!
She pouted regretfully, somewhat dissatisfied.
As the noise inside grew louder, Wanxia glanced around, then crouched down and went to the window.
Seeing her furtive manner, Ye Qing instinctively followed closely behind her, his expression showing reluctance. "Is the situation inside under your control? Isn't this going too far?"
