The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

"Princess, Princess, are you there?"

Hearing that voice, I was a little surprised; I hadn't expected it to be her.

"How did you come?"

Hearing Su Fuying's voice, Ji Zhiyun breathed a sigh of relief, walked over to the sound, patted her chest and said, "Thank goodness you're alright, Princess. Luckily we made it in time."

He tucked the silver needles from his fingertips into his sleeve, pinched his palm to keep himself alert, and asked, "What's going on?"

Ji Zhiyun's expression was somewhat complicated, her eyes darting away, and she remained silent.

"Ok?"

She actually had a pretty good idea of ​​what Su Wan'er was planning by bringing her to this side room, but she was still a little curious.

Seeing Su Fuying's question, Ji Zhiyun finally spoke, "Just as I was about to leave the palace, I ran into Su Wan'er. She was discussing with a eunuch about telling him not to hold back and to..."

At this point, Ji Zhiyun couldn't bring herself to say it, so she explained to Su Fuying again: "That's Eunuch Wang. You probably don't know him. But all the nobles in the capital know that he often abuses palace maids to death because he is the chief eunuch in the Empress's palace, and no one dares to say anything."

"You're unhappy about becoming a eunuch? You've developed this disgusting habit?" Su Fuying had heard of such things before, eunuchs and palace maids having sexual relations, but she never expected to hear it with her own ears.

“Yes.” Ji Zhiyun nodded and continued, “That eunuch Wang is a pervert, extremely cruel. Su Wan’er’s seeking him out must be up to no good.”

Su Fuying frowned as she looked at the dark room, filled with doubt. Suddenly, she asked, "How did you know I was here? And how did you know it was me?"

Ji Zhiyun smiled slightly and replied, "I saw you go out earlier and thought you had left the palace, but then I found that your maid was still in the palace, which made me feel a little strange. So I looked around and finally saw Ji Nanqing at the door."

Hearing this, Su Fuying couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful."

After saying that, he glanced at the door and asked, "Where is Ji Nanqing?"

Ji Zhiyun said with some pride, "I knocked her unconscious, she's lying outside, and Biluo is guarding her outside right now."

"This isn't the place to talk, let's go."

Considering that people might arrive soon, she stood up, grabbed Ji Zhiyun's sleeve, and walked out.

Ji Zhiyun also noticed that Su Fuying was acting strangely. "Are you drunk?"

She smelled a strong odor of alcohol as soon as she came in, and knew Su Fuying was drunk when she saw her staggering.

"Well, it's alright." That's what she said, but Su Fuying knew that the situation wasn't good. Her mind was getting increasingly blurry, and the aftereffects were too great.

Upon reaching the door, Biluo breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Su Fuying was unharmed, and stepped forward to support her.

Looking down at the person lying on the ground, a cold glint flashed across Su Fuying's eyes. "Don't you like her?"

"Huh?" Ji Zhiyun didn't expect her to speak so suddenly, but after realizing what she meant, she didn't try to hide it. "I don't like it."

"That's fine then." Su Fuying murmured, turned to Biluo and gave her some instructions, then left with Ji Zhiyun.

During this time, Ji Zhiyun kept turning back, but when she thought about what Ji Nanqing had done, she gritted her teeth and left together.

As they walked along the path, Su Fuying felt unsteady on her feet. Ji Zhiyun helped her to a nearby pavilion. "Why don't you wait here? The main hall is just ahead. I'll go get you a bowl of hangover soup."

Seeing the brightly lit main hall ahead, Su Fuying nodded; she did indeed need a good rest.

So she found a place to sit down and rested against a stone pillar.

Suddenly, she heard a lewd laugh: "Aying, you can only be mine today."

The hazy voice instantly alerted Su Fuying. She opened her eyes abruptly and was startled to find a face gradually approaching her.

"What is that?" Su Fuying looked at the newcomer warily.

She reacted quickly, kicking the other person in the leg, but due to her weakness, she didn't have enough strength. The person only staggered for a moment before lunging at her again.

"Xiao Junlin!" Su Fuying looked closely and finally recognized the person who came. It turned out to be Crown Prince Xiao Junlin.

His face was flushed and his eyes were glazed over, clearly indicating that he had been drugged.

As for who it is, that's none of her business; what's important now is how to get out of this predicament.

The silver needles at her fingertips gleamed coldly, and her gaze was fixed on his neck with a sinister intent; she could simply kill him if necessary.

Just as he was about to make his move, the person in front of him fell straight down, revealing the person behind the prince.

"Shadow Two?"

"Princess, didn't I arrive just in time?" Ying Er said with a smile, kicking the person on the ground as he spoke, muttering, "He dares to touch just anyone!"

Su Fuying was still a little confused. This was the palace, how did Shadow Two get in?

"Why are you here?"

Shadow Two scratched his head, his tone revealing excitement, "I came here specifically to fight the Crown Prince. I've never fought the Crown Prince before in my life."

Su Fuying: ......

Judging from his joking manner, he probably won't say anything.

Where is Lu Yanxiu?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

After stammering for a while, Shadow Two continued, "His Majesty should be in the palace."

After speaking, he didn't dare to look Su Fuying in the eye, and looked around with his head down.

"Should I take you to him? I have something to tell him."

Seeing that Shadow Two's expression was a bit off, and with something on his mind, he didn't think much of it.

"Huh? Now?"

Shadow Two's voice was weak, and his eyes glanced in the direction outside the pavilion. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll help you."

"Hmm." Supporting Ying Er's arm as they walked out, she suddenly remembered something. "Have someone inform Miss Ji that I'm going back first, and ask her to bring Biluo out for me later."

If even the second actor can enter the palace, this shouldn't be too difficult.

"it is good."

Sure enough, Shadow 2 readily agreed.

The rhythmic sound of horses' hooves rang in her ears, and Su Fuying felt dizzy and her last bit of consciousness began to dissipate.

"call out."

A sharp sword flew over her head; if she had been sitting, the arrow would have pierced her head by now.

Even though he was quite drunk, he still mustered his spirits at this critical moment.

Hearing the sounds of fighting outside, he took out a silver needle, hesitated for a moment, and then inserted it into the acupoint.

In an instant, my vision cleared up considerably. This method can only last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn; after that, my body will become even weaker.

Thinking that he should finish the battle quickly, he lifted the curtain and went outside. There, the two were fighting fiercely, and the sound of weapons clashing was deafening.

Such a loud noise, yet there were no patrolling guards. That's very strange.

It is now curfew time, but because of the Empress's banquet, the Emperor has granted special permission for those attending the palace banquet today to leave the palace during the curfew.

"Princess, are you alright?"

"fine."

When Shadow Two saw her come out, he asked her in this direction. After receiving an affirmative answer, he focused on fighting again.

So many people? After looking around, there were about a dozen or twenty people, and some more were heading this way.

Judging from their appearance, they are some skilled bodyguards.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but wonder, how could Su Wan'er, who hated her to the bone, have the ability to hire so many assassins?

Ji Nanqing is even less likely to be involved; he's probably still living a life of debauchery.

Suddenly, a face flashed through my mind.
