Ye Qingyan returned home, took out the antidote and hesitated for a long time, but finally did not take it and put it away carefully.

The eldest princess's mansion.

The eldest princess sent someone to pick up Shi Lang that day, but he was suddenly kidnapped on the way, and there was no news for two days.

Although she roughly guessed that it might be Mo Yinan's doing, she had no evidence at all. This made her unable to sleep or eat well in the past two days, and she looked a lot thinner.

"Go check! Check for me! Where is he now?"

"Waste, you are all waste! Get out!"

All the servants in the Princess's Mansion worked very carefully these past two days, not even daring to breathe.

When the eldest princess was alone in the bedroom, her face was gloomy and her eyes were red.

"Princess, Miss Ye is outside the door and said she wants to see you for something important." Nanny Lan, who was serving the princess, knocked on the door.

"Who?" The eldest princess was still angry and didn't react to who it was.

Nanny Lan had no choice but to repeat patiently: "Princess, she is the eldest daughter of Duke Mu's mansion."

"What is she doing here?" The princess frowned and muttered to herself. Then she remembered what happened on the day of Mo Yinan's wedding, so she said to Nanny Lan, "Take her to the front hall, I'll be there in a minute."

Ye Qingyan was brought to the front hall, and after waiting for about a cup of tea, the eldest princess walked towards this side leisurely.

"Princess An."

"Ah."

The princess sat down and then said to Ye Qingyan: "Stand up, what do you want to see me for?"

Ye Qingyan sat down and said seriously, "Princess, I'm sure you've heard that I took advantage of the Regent to accompany the Regent Princess back home yesterday and tried to stop her. I was arrested and thrown into jail."

"Yes, I know. But why did he let you out so soon? Logically speaking, you have angered him and he shouldn't let you go so easily."

"That's why I've made all the preparations. But this morning, a man suddenly came and claimed to be the regent. He brought me the antidote and told me not to spread the news. This matter is over now."

"Is this true?" The eldest princess suddenly became interested.

Originally, she thought that Ye Qingyan was talking nonsense, but she didn't expect that this could actually happen.

Seeing the eldest princess like this, Ye Qingyan felt relieved. It seemed that the eldest princess was on the same side as her.

"That's right. I went to see Doctor Yue, and she said I was poisoned. She said the poison was so rare that other doctors couldn't diagnose it. She also said I would be poisoned again in three days."

"So I thought of using this attack to cooperate with you. After all, the fifth attack will kill you. I already have the antidote. The fourth attack will happen in three days, so there is still a chance."

The princess was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you want to do?"

After hearing this, Ye Qingyan was no longer in a hurry to speak, but looked at the eldest princess with a meaningful expression.

"What's with that expression on your face?" the eldest princess asked somewhat unhappily.

"What has the princess been anxiously looking for these past two days?"

When the eldest princess heard this, her expression became a little excited and she couldn't help but clench her fingers.

"How do you know? What do you know?"

Ye Qingyan chuckled and said, "Since we are cooperating with the princess, I cannot just let the princess do things for me. I am naturally of some use to the princess."

"Don't say that! Tell me if you know where the person is?" The eldest princess had lost her patience.

"It was actually a coincidence. I happened to hear them say in the prison that they had arrested your people. It was the order of the Regent. They are now imprisoned in the deepest part of the prison. As for who will be next, I don't know."

"But I'm sure the princess also knows that the deepest part of the prison is dark and the conditions are even more terrifying than the prison I stayed in last night. I'm afraid there are rats and insects everywhere. Your people must be extremely valuable and cannot endure such suffering." Ye Qingyan said with some concern.

After hearing these words, the princess felt so painful in her heart that she could hardly breathe. But what frightened her even more was that Mo Yinan would use this to force Shi Lang to confess something.

If she really told that matter, her reputation would probably be ruined in the future.

But now she couldn't go and ask for the person openly.

So he looked at Ye Qingyan, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and asked anxiously: "You just said cooperation, what do you need me to do? What can you do for me?"

"As long as the princess helps me, I will find a way to get your man out."

"Tell me what you're going to do first!"

"It happens to be the seventh day after the death of the Queen Mother in three days, so I want to take this opportunity to let everyone know that the Regent Princess is a vicious woman. She poisoned me in order to marry the Regent Princess."

Thinking of the Regent's behavior towards Chu Qianyu yesterday, she bit her lip and said cruelly, "According to my observation yesterday, the Regent should have some feelings for her. If she gets into trouble, the Regent should not have the free time to take care of other things. By then, it will be easier for you to find someone to rescue your people."

As long as Chu Qianyu becomes a vicious woman that everyone despises, the regent will surely lose interest in her over time. After that, I will find a way to get the prince to marry me. Even if I don't divorce Chu Qianyu, I can still be a concubine with my status.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingyan suddenly wished that day could come earlier.

The princess thought for a while and said, "I know everything you said. I will help you that day."

Ye Qingyan was not surprised, she stood up and said, "Thank you for your help, Princess."

"Well, if you have nothing else, go out first."

After Ye Qingyan left, the princess was still extremely anxious. After much thought, she finally summoned her secret guards and ordered them, "Which organization in the martial arts world can do things for money? And the martial arts must be very strong. I need someone to go to the deepest part of the prison and must not be discovered by anyone."

The secret guard thought for a while and replied, "There is a sect called Xuanyue Sect. It has been popular in the past two years. The assassins there are very good in martial arts. But their reputation was not so good a few days ago. I don't know why they did this."

"Xuan Yue Sect? Is it the one where the Queen Mother hired someone to kill Chu Qianyu a few days ago? Did they mess it up? And they even took the head of the Second Miss Chu to scare the Queen Mother?"

"That's the incident. After that, their reputation became a little bad. But in terms of martial arts, they are first-rate and powerful. It is said that they are even more powerful than the regent's men. They can compete with the assassins trained by the Situ family."

After hearing this, the princess began to think. This matter must not be that simple. Maybe they took on someone else's task and deliberately did this.

Otherwise, they would not have risked ruining their reputations. And they must have some skills to be able to enter and leave the palace freely and get out safely.

Thinking of this, the princess made up her mind. She walked to the desk, took out a painting, handed it to the secret guard and said, "Go contact the people of Xuanyue Sect. I must know the situation of the person in this painting tonight. If he is tortured, strangle him immediately. Then help me keep an eye on him for three days. After that, I will notify you of the details. If you do a good job, I will reward you."

The secret guard bowed and said, "Yes, I will do it right away. But they usually have to pay a deposit before accepting the task."
