She thought so in her heart and did so.

Song Zhi was not the protagonist of this banquet and had no connections with those aristocratic families.

No one would notice if she was one more or one less.

When she knocked out the accompanying maid in the toilet, she swiftly followed the route she remembered to the study.

Fortunately, Mu Yuanzhi did not change the location of the study after entering the East Palace, so she went straight to her destination.

Before coming here, she thought that the security here must be very strict, but unexpectedly, there was not a single servant guarding here.

After trying several times to make sure no one was watching her, she finally stepped forward and pushed open the door.

She walked into the room cautiously, and just as she closed the door, she heard a complicated voice coming from behind her.

"Chi'er, you really did attend the banquet for other reasons."

Song Zhi turned around and saw Mu Yuanzhi standing there with deep eyes, revealing an expression of extreme loss, but it was as it should be.

She had always avoided him like the plague and didn't want to have anything to do with him at all. Even if she had an explanation, it would still not be convincing enough for him.

He smiled helplessly, "Zhi'er, you took so much trouble to come to the study, what are you looking for?"

Song Zhi's thoughts were spinning rapidly. In a flash, she turned around, opened the door and prepared to run away.

But the moment he opened the door, he saw several rows of guards standing outside.

Not to mention her, even a fly would find it difficult to fly out.

She silently closed the door again and turned around, "Your Highness, I'm not going to believe this, but I just want to go to the toilet..."

"Why, the outhouse that the maid took you to just now doesn't suit your taste?"

"Not really, it's just..."

"Child, I want to hear the truth."

Song Zhi's eyes flickered, and she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Okay, I'm here to look for something. I heard that the Crown Prince's Mansion has a new Tianshan Snow Lotus, and I want to use it to treat someone."

Mu Yuanzhi's expression was indifferent, showing neither belief nor disbelief.

But it is true that he did get a snow lotus these two days.

He walked slowly to Song Zhi, raised his hand and slowly stroked her face.

"I heard that you're engaged to my third brother. Tell me, if someone finds out you've committed yourself to my bed, what will my third brother and others think?"

Song Zhi took two steps back in fear. "Your Highness, this idea is too dangerous. Stop it immediately."

Mu Yuanzhi was not in a hurry. "Actually, if you want snow lotus, you can just tell me directly. I will definitely give it to you with both hands. Why do you have to go through so much trouble?"

"I don't want to owe you a favor."

Mu Yuanzhi: "..."

"It's better than not stealing anything and getting caught."

Regarding this matter, Song Zhi sighed, "How did you find out?"

Mu Yuanzhi seemed to be in a good mood. He didn't care that the banquet was still going on in the garden. He slowly explained, "The fact that you can come here is unusual in itself, not to mention that your loose clothes are really eye-catching."

He walked forward, grabbed the corner of her clothes and shook it, and the bottles and jars filled with poison and incense instantly fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Song Zhi looked at the things on the ground awkwardly, "What..."

"Don't make excuses, Zhier. I've seen through everything about you."

Mu Yuanzhi lifted a strand of her hair and sniffed it gently, "Tell me, if you become mine, will Third Brother still want you?"

"Don't come here."

Song Zhi looked flustered and stumbled to the side, accidentally falling onto the soft couch where he usually took a nap when he felt sleepy while reading.

Mu Yuanzhi's eyes dimmed and he slowly approached.

"Child, you'll make me think you're inviting me."

He leaned over and pressed Song Zhi down, his originally gentle eyes turning dark.

He reached out his hand to caress her cheek lovingly, but the next second he felt his head getting a little dizzy.

The Song Zhi in front of him gradually separated into countless afterimages. He shook his head and tried to breathe in more air to stay awake, but it was of no avail.

He looked at Song Zhi in surprise, "What did you do?"

Mu Yuanzhi's originally straight body began to shake, as if he would collapse to the ground in the next second.

Song Zhi's face showed the same expression as his, and he pointed at him in disbelief, "Mu Yuanzhi, you actually drugged me!"

Mu Yuanzhi began to doubt his life after hearing Song Zhi's accusation. He always felt that something was wrong, but his consciousness was in chaos and he could no longer think carefully.

In the last second before he fainted, he saw Song Zhi also fainted with his eyes rolled back.

The weightless body fell heavily on Song Zhi, causing her to gasp.

Song Zhi, who had been "unconscious", suddenly opened his eyes. Although he was grimacing in pain, his face was no longer panicked and he was very calm.

Yes, this was all part of her plan.

Whether it was the toilet or being trapped here, it was all the result of her own planning.

She thought about it for a long time that night. Mu Yuanzhi was a very cautious person. He seemed gentle, but in fact he liked to control everything.

Only when she gets involved and makes him think she has everything under control, will she have a chance to make him let his guard down and achieve her goal.

So she showed him her flaws everywhere today.

These flaws were enough for him to notice something unusual, but not so obvious as to arouse his suspicion.

In order to get the prey and enjoy the prey's frightened look, Mu Yuanzhi would not mind giving her a chance to let her enter the study room that he cares about the most. Anyway, he feels that everything is under his control. This is at most called inviting someone into a trap.

At worst, if there is something unusual, he can just let the guards outside rush in.

So he was not very defensive against Song Zhi, who had become his prey, and even ignored the aphrodisiac perfume she applied in her hair.

Song Zhi had taken the antidote before entering the study.

When he thought he had a panoramic view of Song Zhi's every move and could control the overall situation, he didn't know that he was walking step by step into the trap she had carefully set for him.

Fortunately, the plan went smoothly, and Mu Yuanzhi fainted quietly as she wished.

Otherwise, in his East Palace, which is full of guards and servants, it would be impossible to move around the study so openly without being discovered.

Now, she wins.

Raising her hand to brush away the person who fell on her, she nimbly turned over and stood up, and began to look around the entire study with an expressionless face.

Since there is a secret room here, there must be a mechanism.

She searched every inconspicuous place in the room but found nothing suspicious.

She felt that she must have missed something, so she read it again from beginning to end.

Especially the more inconspicuous and hidden the place, the more diligently she searches.

However, after searching carefully again, I still found nothing.

She leaned against the antique shelf, sweating profusely, and gasped for breath, thinking that she still didn't believe it and she had to find it out today.

Just as he was about to try again, his elbow accidentally hit the vase next to him.

She was terrified. If it broke, the unusual sound would definitely attract the attention of the guards outside. When they came in and saw Mu Yuanzhi lying unconscious, she would be charged with murdering the crown prince even though she was innocent.
