marry the princess

Chapter 235 Two Cups of Poisoned Wine, One Antidote

When Murong Huayi received the news, he was completely stunned, and he lost all thoughts of playing chess with Yan Xinyao.

"The Empress Dowager is still unable to escape due to the important event of offering sacrifices to heaven, so she sent her subordinates to come and inform me." The visitor said, "The Empress Dowager feels deeply saddened and blames herself for this matter, and people are still searching Tianyun Temple..."

After the reporter had resigned, seeing Murong Huayi's expression changed, Yan Xinyao didn't know what to say.Of course she hoped that Su Leyan would either fall off the cliff and die or be taken away by wild beasts on the mountain. No matter what, it would be best not to come back, and this happened under the eyes of the Queen Mother, Murong Huayi also blamed it no one.

"My lord..." Yan Xinyao thought about it, she should be more concerned about this matter, so she pretended to put on a worried face and approached him, but before she could speak, Murong Huayi slapped the chessboard, got up angrily and left , Bai Zi and Hei Zi rolled on the ground, and Yan Xinyao, who had a guilty conscience, trembled in fright.

"Prince." Wei Lie followed closely, "This subordinate will send the secret guards out to find the whereabouts of the princess.

Murong Huayi didn't say yes or no, Wei Lie knew what he meant.

"Send someone to the General's Mansion and the Seventh Prince. I want to know their latest actions." After a while, Murong Huayi gave the order.

"Yes, my lord."

He thought that nothing serious would happen if she was with the Queen Mother, but it seemed that he was careless. As long as she was not by his side, he couldn't rest assured no matter where he was.

This time, things will never be that simple.

Everyone was worried about this, but at this time, Su Leyan and Murong Yunnuo were sleeping soundly on the soft pillows of the high bed - although it was because of the drug.

Not long after, Murong Yunnuo woke up slowly from his drowsiness. After a period of drowsiness, he remembered his situation, and immediately became fully awake. He turned over and stood up. In a strange room, no one was around , and I was lying on a big bed... Su Leyan was lying next to her!
"Le Yan? Le Yan?!"

Murong Yunnuo shook her worriedly, and called her twice, but Su Leyan didn't respond. He tried her breath, and it was even and steady, so he was relieved.

I got out of bed and looked around. It was a very ordinary room. There was nothing special to show what kind of person the owner would be. The windows around the room were all nailed to death with wooden strips from the outside. , The door of the room was also locked with a heavy iron lock. Looking out through the crack of the door, you can only see an empty corridor, and the surroundings are quiet.

"where is this place?"

Murong Yunnuo was thinking about how to get out of this unguarded cell, when Su Leyan's voice came from behind him.

"Are you awake?" Murong Yunnuo walked over quickly, "How is it, what's wrong with you?"

Su Leyan got out of bed, a little weak, "I'm fine."

Murong Yunnuo wanted to pour her a glass of water, but after looking at the teapot and cups on the table, he still didn't dare to use the things here.

"And you, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Murong Yunnuo looked at her with a bit of guilt, "I didn't protect you well..."

"Actually, it seems that I dragged you through this muddy water." Su Leyan also looked around, "That person seemed to be targeting me yesterday."

Seeing her calm and composure in the face of danger, Murong Yunnuo looked at her for a moment and didn't know how to speak.

"But I don't know who is targeting me like this, trying to put me to death..." Su Leyan put her hands on her neck, remembering the moment when she was strangled so tightly yesterday that she was about to suffocate, she paused, slowly said, "I'm still alive?"

She doubted that she was still alive, without a trace of rejoicing or gratification.

"Le Yan..." Murong Yunnuo looked at her and approached her worriedly.

"I have troubled you." Su Leyan apologized, then looked into his worried eyes, and smiled with relief, "But I need your help."

Murong Yunnuo felt relieved when she saw her smile slightly, "Don't worry, I will protect you by your side."

"Thank you."

After they stayed in the room for a while, the sound of the door lock came from outside the door. They stood vigilantly in one place, staring at the door intently.

After a while, the door opened, and a man in black came in, with a silver mask covering his face.He was holding a dinner plate with two wine glasses and a medicine bottle on it. He walked in leisurely, and then someone outside closed the door.

"Who are you? What are your plans?" Murong Yunnuo asked seriously.

The masked man didn't say anything, and walked directly to the table next to them without hesitation, and put down the plate in his hand.

"It's almost noon now, are you hungry too?"

It was the voice of the man in black who fought against them that night.

"But I think even if I prepare something for you, you may not dare to eat it, so I save this effort, do you mind?" The man in black just sat down at the table without any precautions, and took He poured out a cup of tea from the teapot on the table and drank it on his own.

They dare not touch this tea, and they are naturally very scrupulous about other things.

"If you wanted us to die, you wouldn't take a lot of trouble to bring us here." Su Leyan stepped forward and said, "I don't mind the effort you save."

The masked man's hand holding the tea paused slightly, the face under the mask should have looked a little surprised, but he soon calmed down, and put down the teacup firmly.

"Wearing a mask, with a weird voice..." Su Leyan continued, "Is it because I was afraid that we would recognize you, so I made such a change?" The implication was that they were sure they knew him.

Murong Yunnuo was a little surprised when he heard Su Leyan's judgment, and looked at the masked man in disbelief, but the masked man got up calmly, neither agreed with her words nor refuted her words, it was so ambiguous that made people feel uneasy install.

"Then can you guess my intention?"

Su Leyan stared at him seriously, her eyes under the mask were dark and deep, and she couldn't see her emotions clearly.She was silent and did not speak.

The masked man didn't stop any longer, and went directly to the door, "The two glasses of wine on the table are fine wines, but this person can only drink it once in his life, and he will never have another chance. There is an antidote in the medicine bottle. As for the poor preparation of the meals, I will order my servants to follow suit, but only one of the two will be lucky enough to eat."

The door opened, he stepped out of the room, turned slightly sideways, "Think carefully, both of you."

"You!" Murong Yunnuo rushed forward excitedly when he heard that there was poisoned wine on the table, "You dare to murder the royal family, you are so brave!"

The fist was caught by him reflexively, and with the last force, he twisted his entire arm with a "click", and then kicked his knee mercilessly, throwing him back into the room.

"His Royal Highness Moxuan, you are idle and do not do your job. You are not in the court, and you are so ineffective." The masked man withdrew his hand and said in a cold voice, "The fourteenth princess Moxuan? The fourteenth prince has married two people one after another Little concubine, even if she is a concubine, that's all there is to it, if you treat the royal family like this, what does it matter if you die?"

After finishing speaking, he walked away, the door was closed heavily again, and the iron lock was firmly buckled.

"Your Highness Nine?" Su Leyan saw him fall to the ground, and hurried over to help her, "You still have the drug on your body, your strength can't beat him."

Murong Yunnuo's entire arm was dislocated, but he didn't feel much pain. Just now the masked man said lightly, and he cared very much.

"It's because I'm not good at martial arts." He said disappointedly, "I can't protect you at all..."

Su Leyan carefully helped him up, "Su Leyan didn't ask you to protect me."

"Seeing that you have encountered such a disaster, I can't save you from the threat, and I can't even become a person you can rely on temporarily..." Murong Yunnuo was helped by her to sit down at the table, and said to herself Very disappointed.

Su Leyan looked at his arm carefully, and moved it lightly. Murong Yunnuo frowned in pain, but didn't make a sound.

"I've only seen others take arms, but I can't." Su Leyan frowned slightly, very worried about this.

Seeing that Su Leyan was still worried about herself at this moment, Murong Yunnuo couldn't help but blame herself for the pessimism and disappointment she had just shown. Now he can only blame himself, so what should she do?Do you face it alone?Thinking of Su Leyan's calm appearance just now, Murong Yunnuo felt a little distressed for some reason while being surprised and shocked.

He didn't know that Su Leyan had such a strong side, she was so good at protecting herself...

"I'm fine." Murong Yunnuo accepted his gaffe, and supported his own arm. The pain was unbearable. He was afraid that he would not be able to put the arm back on his own. Because of the labor pain, a layer of blood flowed from his forehead. Thin beads of sweat.

Su Leyan got up and left, walked to the door, and slammed on the door vigorously, "People outside, open the door."

At this moment, there were guards outside. Hearing Su Leyan's voice, one of them replied, "My master said that there is only one person who came out from here. If you decide, you will naturally let him go."

"We won't go out, who of you will come in?"

The two guards looked at each other after hearing this.

"Your master only wants one of us to die, doesn't he? Is there any explanation for other things?"

"What's the matter? Don't play tricks, we are not responsible for what happened."

"His arm was injured by your master, I want you to help him put it back."

"This matter has nothing to do with us." The guard refused.

Su Leyan blushed furiously, "Your master wants one of us to die, if both of us die, it has nothing to do with you?"

After hearing this, the guard hesitated outside for a while, and then opened the door. Su Leyan consciously retreated to Murong Yunnuo, signaling that she would never act rashly.

"Don't play tricks." A guard came in, and another guarded the door carefully.

Murong Yunnuo didn't speak, the guard approached him and took his arm back to its original position with a few strokes.

Seeing Murong Yunnuo's expression relaxed, Su Leyan also breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you."

The guard then went out, and the door was locked again.

"Le Yan..." Murong Yunnuo took a short rest, regained his strength, and looked at her with a complicated expression.

Su Leyan looked at him and pursed her lips, "It's good that you're fine."
