Phi-Fic Chapter 323 Sudden
Chapter 323 Sudden
Wu Ziyan pretended to be in great pain, clutching his throat as if trying to vomit up the medicine.
"You are a foreigner, isolated and helpless in Xiao Rong. Even if you have some connection with the Situ family, so what?"
"I refuse to believe that if you die, they'll still turn against me?"
"Ah, that's really true. If I die, you Xiao Rong people won't have an easy time. I might even wipe you out!"
"Such arrogance! Just wait until your intestines rupture!"
Wu Ziyan shook her clothes, but her expression remained unchanged.
He then sat on a stool, eating meat and drinking wine, and even invited King Hui to join him.
Logically speaking, after ingesting this poison, one should feel a burning sensation in the abdomen and a sore throat.
But she's perfectly fine now, eating and drinking as usual.
"Why resort to violence, Prince Hui? Is it about drugging the Empress? When? I'll do whatever you say."
"You're right, this is your territory in Xiao Rong, how dare I act recklessly?"
Just then, screams were heard from the inner hall, from the beautiful concubines of the King of Hui.
They were all delicate beauties who didn't know any martial arts at all.
Little did they know that during the meal, they were simply urging Chu Qiu and the others to drink a few cups of wine.
He pulled a dagger out of his boot and stuck it on the table.
Meanwhile, Changsun Boyou, Fang Yuerong, and Yue'er were busy eating and drinking on the side.
They completely ignored the terrified look on the person opposite them.
"What happened inside!"
"King Hui, don't worry about your beauties inside, they are all perfectly fine."
What did you do?
“My beauty can do everything, unlike you, who has a bunch of pretty faces.”
Finally, Chu Qiu left his seat and walked out of the inner hall, ignoring Prince Hui and standing next to Wu Ziyan.
"I'm warning you, you can't pull any tricks in my residence. You'd better wait patiently for my arrangements to see His Majesty."
"no problem."
Chu Qiu glanced at Wu Ziyan sideways and asked, "Miss, are you alright?"
"Something's wrong, I'm terrified, they just threatened me."
King Hui and the others twitched their lips. How could anyone have the nerve to say such a thing? Who's threatening whom?
"Alright, thank you for your hospitality today, Your Highness. My family members are all going back, so please trouble you to take us back."
As he spoke, he stood up as if nothing had happened and shook the hem of his skirt.
They stood there waiting for Changsun Boyu and Fang Yuerong to come out.
When Yue'er came out, she was still chewing something in her mouth.
As they left, they all said to King Hui, "Thank you for your hospitality, King Hui!"
She frowned, deep in thought. What had happened? Had she been cheated out of her meal? Wu Ziyan's behavior before and after was drastic.
They were extremely flattering to her when they came in, but she suddenly turned hostile when the Dragon and Tiger Army sent people over.
Lost in thought, she heard Wu Ziyan's voice again. She stopped and turned to speak to Prince Hui.
"By the way, I've already given all the return gifts I brought to your men. If anything goes missing, don't blame it on me."
King Hui clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the table, although nothing particularly infuriating happened.
But I felt like I had been insulted.
"Send them back."
"His Royal Highness King Hui!"
"Do I have to say it again? Remember, keep a close eye on them!"
On the other side, Qi Zeyun and Qi Zexuan had returned to the post station, naturally wearing headscarves and covering themselves up tightly, afraid that others would recognize them.
When Wu Ziyan and the others returned, they immediately went to their room to meet up and told each other about what had happened that day.
“Prince Hui will likely summon you for court tomorrow, so Zexuan and I must go to the palace today.”
He then threw out two portraits and looked at Changsun Boyu, implying that he could disguise them as the two people in the portraits.
This is nothing, of course, but Wu Ziyan felt that King Hui shouldn't be that stupid. How could he be?
Anyone with a modicum of sense could immediately understand why the two imperial armies simultaneously defected to serve her.
"I need to write a letter to Chu Ling quickly. Chu Qiu, you write it. Tell her to keep the troops in order. I think something will happen by tonight at the latest!"
"By the way, you have to give me a token, otherwise Situ Jun won't be able to come."
They didn't know why Wu Ziyan thought that way, or why he felt that something was about to happen tonight.
But they must first go to the palace to give the Queen a heads-up.
They took out the jade pendants they were wearing from their waists; the weight of the pendants was enough to prove their identities.
Send someone secretly on horseback to deliver it, making sure it reaches Situ Chuling.
Changsun Boyou also prepared the disguises and then proceeded to "carve and chisel" their faces.
He looks almost exactly like the person in the painting.
"Who is this?" Wu Ziyan asked.
"This is her personal attendant."
Without needing to reveal who it was, they knew it referred to the Empress. The two secretly left their house and arrived at the palace gate.
The people at the door saw the two of them walking together and quickly bowed.
Regardless of differences in height or weight, their face is their passport.
"My lords, why did you go outside the palace today?"
"His Majesty sent the two of us out to purchase some items. Where should His Majesty be at this hour?"
"It's probably in the back garden."
"Ah."
The two siblings headed towards the back garden as soon as they entered the palace, not afraid of running into the main character.
After all, as they walked, they had already torn off all the pretense on their faces.
They were simply trying to avoid the King of Wisdom's spies.
Little did they know that Prince Hui was also preparing to enter the palace shortly after Wu Ziyan left, and had already reached the palace gate.
"Your Highness, are you also going to the palace to see His Majesty?"
"also?"
The guards at the gate recounted what had just happened in detail. King Hui narrowed his eyes. Those two eunuchs never went out to buy things.
Therefore, the two people they saw were definitely up to something.
She hurried into the palace; according to the palace servants' description, they should have just entered.
In a little while, if she walks fast enough, she might be able to catch up with them.
Qi Tian was in the back garden, propping her head up with her hand, while two eunuchs beside her rubbed her head: "Your Majesty, Prince Hui has come to see you."
"What's she doing here again?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Just then, two people rushed in from outside, shouting urgently.
It looks like something terrible has happened.
Inside, they encountered Qi Zeyun and Qi Zexuan.
They thought they had encountered some kind of ghost, so they rushed in in a panic.
"Damn it! What happened? How dare you offend His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty! The two princes have returned!"
"What Your Highness? What nonsense are you spouting, you servant!"
The man didn't dare to look, but pointed in the direction from which they had come, and saw two tall figures.
As Qi Tian walked further in, he was stunned. Those were... her two good-for-nothing children!
She didn't stand up; she just stood there watching the two of them.
Their mother-son bond wasn't particularly deep, but the blood ties and inexplicable connection were unavoidable.
"Mother Queen!"
"You are back."
"Aren't you going to ask why we're not dead?"
"There's no time to ask these questions now. By the time you come back, you'll probably already know the situation in China."
