Chapter 153 Night at Prince Li's Mansion
"This... is due to my inconsiderateness. From now on, I will address you as Madam and Master."
Qu Jingyao didn't object. The old madman continued to propose that a dozen experts be transferred tomorrow.
"We don't need too many, as that would be too conspicuous. Just send six people and arrange them in the house."
The old madman nodded in agreement.
Qu Jingyao's slender jade fingers tapped on the table, her eyes shone with a deep light, and she tilted her head to stare at the old madman.
He felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, and looked himself up and down: "Young Master, is there something wrong with me?"
"No, I just thought that I can't always call you an old lunatic." Qu Jingyao raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly.
The old madman thought it was something, which made him nervous. He cupped his hands:
"Young Master, your subordinate Cang Yan."
Qu Jingyao nodded with a smile and told him that it was late today and he could stay and go back to the mountain tomorrow.
"Thank you, young master."
Cang Yan suddenly stood up and cupped his hands with a smile.
Qu Jingyao called for housekeeper Tian to take Cang Yan downstairs to settle him down.
She looked at the sky outside and slowly stood up. At this time, Baiguo came back.
"master."
"Well, come back with me first. I'm going to town later."
Baiguo was stunned for a moment and then asked his master if there was anything he needed to do in the town.
The corners of Qu Jingyao's mouth rose slightly, but without a trace of warmth, and her eyes were like cold arrows.
"The master will take you on a day trip to the Hong family!"
Baiguo's mouth twitched and he paused. It seemed that the Hong family was in trouble again.
The first thing Qu Jingyao did when she returned to the yard was to write a letter to the capital.
"Go prepare two sets of night clothes."
"Yes!"
Baiguo was stunned for a moment, then turned and left the house.
After Baiguo left, she communicated with Manman in the space and released one of the Saker Falcons.
Let it help deliver the letter to Shangjing City.
Qu Jingyao, standing in front of the window, watched it disappear into the night before looking away.
"Master, I am ready."
Baiguo pried open the door and walked in.
She turned around and touched the nightgown, raised her eyebrows and slowly walked to the bed, picking up a jade hollow mask from the table.
This was made in the space workshop last time and just came in handy.
"this is for you."
She threw a black jade mask towards Baiguo.
"Master, this is top quality..."
Baiguo caught it carefully and was shocked to see her master throw it to her without blinking.
"Well, take it."
"Thank you, Master."
Qu Jingyao raised the mask of top-grade white jade in her hand, and a devilish smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Black and White Devils! How about it? Haha..."
Baiguo stared with his eyes wide open and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
At this time, Nanny Qin knocked on the door and asked her if she wanted the food to be brought into the room.
"Madam, seeing that the master had nothing to do for dinner, sent this servant to come and inquire about it."
She slapped her forehead, forgetting even the meal time, and then told Nanny Qin to send it to her room.
At this time, people in Prince Li's mansion were in panic.
"Didn't you say that the Lord would wake up after drinking that man's blood? It's been so long, why hasn't he woken up yet?"
Xuan Lei stared at Leng Yi coldly and questioned.
Leng Yi scratched his head anxiously, stammering, not knowing how to answer.
"Guard Xuan, this is not the time to be anxious. Given the prince's situation, shouldn't we find a way to summon Xuan Yu back?"
Nanny Hua sat by the bed and looked at the unconscious prince, feeling extremely anxious. If something really happened to the prince, the emperor would not let them go.
"This matter must not be spread to Shangjing City, lest those people cause trouble again!"
When Xuan Lei heard what Nanny Hua said, he nodded in agreement.
"Then I will go and send a message to Xuan Yu now."
Xuan Lei disappeared from the room without waiting for the people in the room to speak.
Leng Yi stood by his master's side without blinking, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, his palms filled with cold sweat.
"Madam Hua, please go and have a rest. Your Majesty, I will be guarding here."
Nanny Hua shook her head. She had raised the prince since he was a child, so how could she let him go?
I didn't expect that the prince's poison attack would be so serious and sudden this time.
Nanny Hua asked Leng Yi what had happened to the prince before and why it happened so suddenly?
"Nothing happened to the master?" Leng Yi tried hard to recall, but didn't find anything wrong.
However, after returning from Lingshui Village, the master was obviously in a bad mood. Could this cause the poison to break out in the master, or did the master encounter something else during this process?
But Leng Yi didn't dare to take the initiative to reveal Miss Qu's existence.
"Whose blood is this? Why..."
"Shh! Aunt Hua, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. You must not let anyone else know about this."
Leng Yi stopped Nanny Hua from speaking in time.
A dark shadow flashed by the window, and Leng Yi immediately dodged to the door: "Who's outside?"
When he opened the door, he saw a white cat jumping out of the yard.
Nanny Hua immediately stood up and asked with a gloomy face who Leng Yi was.
"It's a wild cat."
Leng Yi frowned and was curious why there was a wild cat in the yard.
Just then the door was pushed open by Xuan Lei.
"Leng Yi, please send Nanny Hua down to rest. I will stay here with the Master."
Nanny Hua was about to refuse, but was persuaded by Xuan Lei.
He had no choice but to follow Leng Yi out of the room.
The door was closed, and Xuan Lei came to the master's window and reached out to feel his pulse.
"Master, your pulse is stable, why haven't you woken up yet?"
Xuan Lei said to himself.
At this time, it was getting darker outside. The dark night sky was like a huge black curtain, covering the sky and the earth, and not a trace of moonlight could be seen.
Qu Jingyao and his servant, dressed in night clothes, ran quickly towards Ruyang City.
She had already learned the location of the Hong family from those "little friends".
Baiguo followed his master's footsteps closely, climbing over the city wall and running towards the east of the city.
"Bai Guo, you will be responsible for creating chaos and luring away the guards in the yard. Leave the rest to me."
"Yes, Master, please be safe."
As soon as Bai Guo finished speaking, Qu Jingyao had already climbed over the high wall in front of him.
She jumped in right after him. It seemed to be the back garden. The master and servant made two gestures and then went their separate ways.
Qu Jingyao ran straight towards the courtyard where the women lived in the backyard.
That Miss Hong, hehe...
The house was pitch black at this time. She groped her way to the window and listened to the unusual silence in the house. She took out a lot of sleeping pills and blew them in through the window.
"Done... hehe..."
She swaggered open the door and began to grope around the room cautiously.
At this time, the eldest daughter of the Hong family was already fast asleep on the bed. No matter how she slapped her, there was no movement at all.
Qu Jingyao narrowed her eyes slightly, sneered, and searched the room.
After she had cleaned up everything, she glanced at the eldest daughter of the Hong family lying on the bed and sneered at the thought of someone who had been publicly broken off from an engagement, yet could still sleep peacefully. Was she being magnanimous or shameless?
