Tragic death and rebirth, I remarried the scumbag uncle on the spot
Chapter 186 Antidote
"Bring your men with you. If I don't come out of the Princess's Mansion within an hour, you will kill me." Yu Guiwan had already made up his mind to fight to the death. Once he took action, it would be a fight to the death.
"Princess, you can't go." Bei Chu knelt down immediately after hearing Yu Guiwan's plan. Bei Chu knew that the princess was the most important person in the prince's heart, and he would never let her take risks.
"I will have someone sneak into the Princess's residence tonight to find the antidote. The Princess doesn't need to get involved herself."
Yu Guiwan shook her head. "Even if we sneak in, no one knows which antidote is it. Besides, Xie Rou saw that I didn't go there, so she definitely wouldn't leave the antidote at the Princess's Mansion for us to take."
"Even if we do get the antidote, there's no guarantee Xie Rou won't have someone tamper with it."
At this point, Yu Guiwan didn't dare to gamble. She knew that Chu Yun was in the Princess's Mansion, and this incident must have been her doing. Chu Yun was also an expert in using poison, so it wouldn't be that simple.
After hearing this, Bei Chu wanted to dissuade him again, "But, Princess..."
"Without further ado, let's set off."
Yu Guiwan ordered in a cold voice, her tone brooking no refusal.
Fuqiu followed Yu Guiwan's footsteps, but she suddenly stopped and said, "Fuqiu, don't come with me. Find a female secret guard to pretend to be a maid from Prince Chen's mansion and go in with me."
Bei Chu nodded and immediately gave the order.
……
The hour of Xu.
When the carriage from Prince Chen's residence arrived, the maid who had just delivered the message was waiting at the entrance of the Princess' residence. When she saw Yu Guiwan get off the carriage, she immediately came forward and said, "Greetings, Princess Chen."
"Ah."
"I'll take you there right away. Her Royal Highness the Princess is waiting for you inside." The maid, holding a lantern, led the way. The Princess's mansion was originally short of servants, and even fewer at night.
The silence was terrifying and seemed a little weird.
When she arrived, she heard pleasant piano music coming from inside the house. Xie Rou was waiting for her in the tea room. The lights in the room were dim. She was sitting in the main seat, making tea, and a man was sitting below, playing the piano.
Xie Rou saw her coming and curled the corners of her mouth, "Gui Wan, here you are."
"Greetings, Imperial Sister." She leaned forward slightly.
"Come and have some tea." Xie Rou waved her hand and said softly.
Yu Guiwan arrived and sat down next to Xie Rou. The man below continued to play the piano. The melodious music added a bit of solemnity to the atmosphere.
"Your Majesty also knows the purpose of my visit today, so let's not beat around the bush. What does Your Majesty want in order to give me the antidote?" Yu Guiwan looked directly into Xie Rou's eyes and asked.
Since it was Xie Rou who invited her over, there was no need for her to beat around the bush with her.
Xie Rou didn't answer Yu Guiwan's question right away. Instead, she turned to look at the maidservant beside Yu Guiwan and asked, "Why did Guiwan bring a different maid with him today?"
The woman next to Yu Guiwan looked very unfamiliar. I guess she was someone who knew martial arts.
She smiled faintly and said, "There are many maids in Prince Chen's Mansion. I'm sure the Queen Sister won't mind if I want to take a maid with me."
"Of course, Guiwan, don't be too alert. I just invite you to have tea tonight." Xie Rou made a gesture and said, "I will tell you after you have tea." Xie Rou looked into Yu Guiwan's eyes.
Yu Guiwan glanced at the tea on the wooden table and said nothing.
The secret guard disguised as a maid standing beside her subconsciously said, "Princess, no!" The secret guard frowned. There must be something wrong with the tea, otherwise why would Xie Rou keep emphasizing it.
Xie Rou looked at the maid's nervous expression and laughed out loud. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Gui Wan, are you scared? Do you really think the emperor will hurt you?"
"The emperor will naturally not harm me."
She said this, and seeing the danger hidden in Xie Rou's smiling eyes, she pinched the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Can you give me the antidote now?"
Yu Guiwan's tone became a little cold and he asked directly.
Xie Rou clapped her hands and said, "Straightforward man, here's the antidote." Xie Rou took out the antidote and placed it in front of Yu Guiwan. Yu Guiwan took the antidote without hesitation.
"Then Guiwan will take her leave first." Yu Guiwan stood up and leaned forward slightly. She gave the person beside her a look, and the two of them immediately started to leave.
At this time, the man playing the piano's hands became faster and faster, and the music became more passionate.
Xie Rou remained seated without moving. As they walked out the door, they saw a group of people surrounding the room. Yu Guiwan turned around and looked at Xie Rou, "Princess, what do you mean by this?"
Yu Guiwan placed her hands on her waist, ready to strike at any moment. She never expected Xie Rou to dare to strike her so brazenly.
Xie Rou's expression suddenly changed, her eyes filled with fear, "Oh no! There's an assassin!"
As soon as Xie Rou finished speaking, everyone rushed forward, attacking the two. The secret guards she brought with her immediately took action, "Princess, you go first. I will cover your retreat."
The people outside the Princess's Mansion were beginning to feel unsettled as they saw Yu Guiwan taking a long time to come out.
"Chief, are we going to charge in now?"
Bei Chu shook his head and clenched the sword in his hand. "The princess ordered that if she doesn't come out within an hour, we will rush in to kill her." He was also very uneasy in his heart, as he had no idea what was going on inside.
……
"Don't move! She wouldn't dare touch me." Yu Guiwan spoke immediately, watching the guard's knife approaching. If she had made the first move, Xie Rou would have reported her to His Majesty, alleging she was plotting against the princess.
By then, with both witnesses and evidence present, she won't be able to explain herself even if she has a mouth.
Upon hearing Yu Guiwan's order, the guard swung his knife mid-air, stabbing it into the air. Just as Yu Guiwan had said, after they stopped moving, Xie Rou's men also stopped moving.
"Thank you, Imperial Sister, for letting me go."
She smiled and looked at Xie Rou. Because of the distance and the dim light, she couldn't see Xie Rou's expression at the moment, but she knew that her expression must be ugly.
"Gui Wan, you're joking. I was just playing a joke on you."
"Really? Let's go then."
Yu Guiwan said something, and the two of them walked out. Xie Rou's people didn't dare to stop them, and just watched them leave the Princess's Mansion smoothly.
As soon as the two of them left the Princess's Mansion, Bei Chu spotted them and immediately led his men to catch the carriage from Prince Chen's Mansion. As soon as they boarded the carriage, the secret guards immediately took out the antidote pills they had prepared in advance.
Yu Guiwan swallowed it with water. Luckily, her master had given her a lot of detoxification pills before leaving. She didn't know if the tea was problematic, nor if the detoxification pills would be effective against the poison.
But it still provides some psychological comfort.
