As Yun Shang was very particular about her bed, she knew that she would have a hard time sleeping that night. So she simply lay straight on the bed with her eyes open, not even taking off her coat, and endured the pain.

Who could have expected that a fire would suddenly break out at this moment, but this unexpectedly created favorable conditions for her escape.

Yun Shang only felt that her steps were weak, she was staggering, her head was heavy and her body was light. In the darkness, she tried to grope her way slowly towards the direction of the gate.

Fortunately, the bright moonlight came in through the window, so she didn't get completely lost in the darkness.

Along the way, she stumbled and bumped into things here and there.

"Who on earth is this reckless bastard who dares to set fire to the backyard of the imperial palace? He is so audacious!" Yun Shang cursed angrily in her heart as she struggled forward.

As she walked, Yun Shang felt her consciousness becoming increasingly blurred.

"Oh no, it's actually a drug!" She was shocked. The choking thick smoke actually contained drug ingredients!

She hurriedly pulled off the sachet from her waist, put it to her nose and sniffed it hard. Sure enough, the fragrance of the sachet made her mind clearer!

After waking up, Yun Shang immediately quickened her pace and ran out the door.

After great effort, she finally ran to the door, pushed it open, and was about to shout "Fire!", but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

This was not a fire at all! Outside her door, there was a charcoal stove, burning with the lowest quality black charcoal. The billowing smoke rushed towards her room like a vicious beast!

The charcoal looked like it had just been burning for a short time and was at the stage where someone needed to fan it vigorously in order to make it burn vigorously!

Just now, there must have been someone here waving a fan to help the charcoal fire burn. As soon as he saw her come out, he quickly hid!

Usually in those novels or TV dramas, when encountering this kind of situation, that person is often hiding behind!

Thinking of this, Yun Shang did not hesitate, and immediately pulled out the pearl hairpin on her head, holding it tightly in her hand as a weapon for self-defense, and then turned back suddenly!

Sure enough, there was a masked man in black standing silently behind him, holding a fan in his hand.

The man in black saw that Yun Shang was holding a hairpin that looked harmless, so he didn't take it seriously at all. There was a hint of disdain in his eyes, and it seemed that he was thinking about how to deal with Yun Shang.

Yun Shang was too lazy to waste time talking to him. If not now and then to attack him by surprise, when would she attack?

She quickly pressed the hidden switch on the hairpin, and a hidden weapon as thin as an embroidery needle instantly shot towards the man in black!

Because the distance was close and the man in black underestimated his enemy, the hidden weapon hit the target at once. The man in black fell heavily to the ground with a "bang"!

"Wow! What kind of drug or poison is this? It's so effective!" Yun Shang couldn't help but exclaimed.

But she was still a little worried, so she raised her foot and kicked the man in black hard twice, but the man in black did not move at all.

Yun Shang turned her head to look at the charcoal fire. Without the help of wind, the charcoal burned very poorly, and all that came out was thick smoke, which filled the air outside the door and inside the room.

Yun Chang quickly moved closer to the sachet, took two deep breaths of the fragrance inside, and then carefully stepped back.

"Normally speaking, wouldn't the guards nearby be able to notice the billowing smoke?" Yun Shang was full of doubts.

Under normal circumstances, Yun Chang should have shouted for help at this moment.

But now, her heart is full of hesitation!

"What if my cry does not bring help but a new round of murders? What should I do?"

After thinking it over, Yun Shang still felt that it would be better to wait and see what happens!

First of all, she is now in the dark, while the enemy is in the light. Even if they really want to kill her, they have to find her hiding place first!

So, after getting used to the darkness, Yun Shang headed for the east wing. She was worried about Aunt Yuan and wondered how she was doing.

She gently pushed open the door of the west wing, and there was no one inside!

"Well, others are obviously coming for my title as the Crown Prince's Consort, so why should I waste my energy to deal with a concubine! I believe Aunt Yuan should be safe." Yun Shang thought to herself.

After Yunchang left the east wing, she turned and walked towards the side room in the backyard.

She didn't dare to cry for help loudly, and could only pin her hopes on the two palace maids, hoping that they would be able to quietly go to where the palace guards were on duty to seek help.

If worst comes to worst, you can go and report the situation to the eunuch in charge and ask for help!

Yun Chang came to the ear room and saw two palace maids sleeping peacefully in their respective beds. She first called them softly, trying to wake them up, and then reached out to push them, but the two palace maids remained motionless and fell into a deep sleep.

"Obviously, they were drugged by the smoke!" Yun Shang frowned and sighed inwardly. Now the idea of ​​relying on them to call for help was completely dashed.

Helplessly, Yun Chang quietly left the ear room.

However, the moment she turned around, she suddenly discovered that the bronze mirror on the palace maids' dressing table was emitting a strange fluorescent light. This sudden sight almost made her scream.

Restraining his inner fear, Shu Xin bravely walked forward to check.

Upon taking a closer look, she discovered that the fluorescent spots actually came from her coat. She touched it lightly with her hand, and her hand was immediately stained with the tiny bit of fluorescent light.

"Oh my god! Isn't this fluorescent powder?" Yun Shang couldn't help but exclaim in her heart.

This fluorescent powder is difficult to detect during the day, but it can be clearly seen at night. It is not difficult to mix this fluorescent powder. The real difficulty lies in how it is applied to this coat? You know, this is the dress given to her by the queen.

"It goes without saying that the Queen's Palace is not clean either!"

Yun Shang's eyes became solemn. There was no need to speculate too much. The only person who could attack her so blatantly was probably Concubine Ning.

When she left the ear room, she was in such a hurry that the place where the fluorescent powder was applied was not conspicuous, so she did not notice it.

But at this moment, when she learned that there was fluorescent powder on the coat, she suddenly felt that the fluorescent powder was particularly eye-catching.

She stood outside the ear room, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: she was like a glittering firefly at the moment, and had undoubtedly become a living target. Before, she thought that she was in the dark and the enemy was in the light, but now the situation was completely reversed!

Thinking of this, Yun Shang hurriedly retreated back to the ear room, quickly found the palace maid's clothes, and decided to change into them first.

Thinking that there was no one in the west wing, she hurried to the east wing with her clothes.
