Chapter 350 Seeing Through
"You, you, you, come here..."
"Um..."
The third prince's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt pain in his lower body. When he woke up, he wanted to scream.
Sang Luo stuffed his mouth with a fist.
Lu Xuan felt a panic in his heart.
Got it!
If he saw them, and they remembered everything after they sobered up, wouldn't they be exposed?
Worried that the two shouts would attract the palace servants from Chengqian Palace, Sang Luo had to knock him out again.
Lu Xuan didn't care about the backlash from using mystical magic on the Third Prince. He chanted the fastest spell in his life, quickly cast a destructive talisman, and cleared the memory in the Third Prince's mind at an extremely fast speed.
After processing the memories in his mind, Lu Xuan raised his chin and signaled Sang Luo to act quickly.
Carrying the third prince, Sang Luo flew a few steps and jumped onto the top of the wall. He loosened his arms and threw the man directly into the base of the wall behind Chengqian Palace.
Fortunately, there was grass and mud under the wall of the back hall, so when he fell down, there was no loud noise.
Sang Luo was just breathing a sigh of relief when someone suddenly walked out from the back hall. He glared at her and made eye contact with her.
The eunuch's shrill voice immediately burst out from inside the wall, "Hurry, someone has knocked His Highness unconscious, someone wants to harm His Highness——"
Lu Xuan was frightened and trembled. Sang Luo quickly jumped off the wall and pulled her towards the East Palace.
No matter how much I planned, I didn't expect someone to come out from outside the back hall at this time!
She finally understood why the princess had asked her to remember the way.
She would probably only dare to do such a heart-wrenching act of killing the royal heir once in her life!
Lu Xuan was frail, so she couldn't run fast. Sang Luo drew his sword and mounted his horse, then carried her directly onto his shoulders.
Facing the rustling wind, Lu Xuan was somewhat incredulous, "Sang Luo, I didn't expect your Qinggong to improve so quickly!"
Sang Luo: "..."
How could she not be quick when the King of Hell is chasing her?
……
East Palace.
Half an hour ago, Jiang Xing successfully arrived at the prince's bedroom, but the scene before him really shocked him.
There were sixteen palace maids standing in the bedroom, which was more than five meters wide.
Compared to the laziness of the palace servants when they came here before, they seemed to be particularly careful.
It was so crowded that Jiang Xing felt he couldn't even breathe.
The silk curtains were layered with silver threads and dragon patterns, and they had a faint luster. Jiang Xing was standing outside, and he couldn't see clearly what the prince was doing.
He was invisible, but his footsteps, voice, and touch were all the same as those of an ordinary person.
So he didn't dare to lift the curtain and look for the prince directly, and could only walk towards Qing Yuan who was standing outside the curtain.
Ever since Qing Yuan came to the Eastern Palace, she has been watched by the people around her all the time and has been worried every day.
A few days ago, the Queen Mother's funeral was held, and the prince and princess were present, but she couldn't find a chance to pass on the message.
Now that the Empress Dowager has been buried, I'm afraid she will be imprisoned in the Eastern Palace by the Jinwu Guards from now on.
Moreover, several times her subconscious actions almost exposed the fact that she knew martial arts.
If her identity were discovered by Pei Fan one day, the consequences would be unimaginable.
My eyes were so worried that they could pinch a fly to death, and suddenly a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
"Qingyuan."
Qing Yuan's body tensed.
Who is speaking?
He darted his eyes around but saw no one.
She ran her hands over her arms, and goose bumps appeared on her skin.
"Qing Yuan, it's the king."
Qing Yuan's body trembled again, she was terrified.
But it sounds like he is a prince?
Why can't I see anyone?
Could it be that the prince... is dead?
The usually heroic female secret guard also changed her expression after being frightened by Jiang Xing. Fortunately, Qing Yuan still had the qualities of a secret guard. Even though her hands were shaking badly, her body remained motionless.
"The princess used an invisibility charm on me. Don't be afraid. I have something important to tell you."
Hearing Jiang Xing's voice, which he was trying to lower, Qing Yuan blinked and glanced to the left behind him in the direction of the voice.
It’s the princess’s invisibility talisman, so she won’t be afraid anymore.
Her pounding heart finally settled down, and she stammered back:
"Your Majesty."
Qing Yuan didn't dare to speak, so she could only keep her mouth shut and then cough a few times to cover up the abnormality.
Fortunately, Jiang Xing heard it clearly.
"Pull back the curtains. I want to go in and ask the prince a question."
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Qing Yuan started to hang the curtains.
While hanging up, he used gestures that only she and Qingdai could understand to ask her to help.
Qingdai was confused.
He looked at her questioningly: Isn't it time for Your Highness to rest every day? Why are you lifting the curtain?
Then Qing Yuan said in a clear voice: "Your Highness is not in good health and needs to rest. However, there are so many people in the house these days, I am afraid that it will make it more difficult for Your Highness to recover.
I was just standing there when I felt the air in the hall was quite foul, so I decided to open the curtains and let His Highness breathe in some fresh air. Being considerate of the Master is our duty, and I think it would be more suitable for His Highness to rest when there are fewer people around."
After the curtains were drawn and hung, Qing Yuan said to the palace maids, "Everyone, please go out. I'll call you in when His Highness wakes up."
Everyone in the hall looked at each other, not knowing what she wanted to do, and no one made any movement.
Qing Yuan was a little annoyed. "Have I ever asked you this during the days you've been in the Eastern Palace? This is all for His Highness's sake. If anything were to go wrong with His Highness, you would all be held responsible!"
The people in the hall seemed to relax a little, but most of them still did not move.
Qing Dai stood up and said, "Then I will report to the commander and ask him to come over. Let's see if he or you will bear the responsibility when His Highness's health declines. See if he is willing to risk his own future to accompany you."
No one expected that Qingdai really went out and actually invited Pei Fan.
As Pei Fan arrived, the prince suddenly started coughing uncontrollably. He glanced at the tent with an expression of impatience.
"For such a small matter, you have to personally ask me, the commander, to take action?"
Pei Fan glanced at Qing Yuan and Qing Dai, who were standing cautiously beside the tent, and glanced at the other palace servants with annoyance, "Don't you have ears? If His Highness is ill, what are you still doing standing in there? Come out, we're waiting at the front and back doors!"
Pei Fan cursed at the person and left after saying a few words.
The servants in the palace then responded in unison.
"Yes."
As soon as everyone left, Qingdai was about to close the door, but unexpectedly Pei Fan came back and locked the door.
"Your Highness needs to rest in peace and quiet. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation, which will be good for your health."
Seeing the subtle tentativeness in Pei Fan's eyes, Qing Dai nodded, "Yes."
The gate was wide open, and if there was any movement, the imperial guards outside would come in immediately.
Jiang Xing had already entered the tent, so as soon as Pei Fan left, Qing Yuan lowered the tent.
The prince had woken up long ago and felt a hand pinching his wrist, but he didn't dare to say a word.
"Yan'er, it's me."
The prince had known Lu Xuan's abilities before, so he was quite sensitive to them.
When he heard Jiang Xing's voice, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle, are you alone? Or is Axuan here with you?" He looked into the void and said in a low voice.
"It's just me, and this invisibility talisman has a time limit. We need to finish our conversation quickly."
Jiang Xing frowned, "I heard Pei Fan say this morning that you were poisoned? Did the imperial physician come to treat you?"
The prince paused, a puzzled expression on his face. "No! Didn't you and A Xuan both cure me last time? The imperial physician hasn't come these days, but I do receive a bowl of medicine every day."
Jiang Xing became nervous. "Medicine? Did they poison you again?"
The prince lowered his eyes, "I don't know, but I never drank that bowl of medicine. Qing Yuan and the others poured it all out. They've also been testing my food for poison every day these days, and so far, no poison has been found."
"That's Pei Fan's excuse to stop me from entering the East Palace. As long as you're safe, my king and A Xuan will feel much more at ease."
Hearing the prince mumbling inside as if he was talking to someone, Qingdai was very worried, but she couldn't open the tent to go in, so she could only wink at Qingyuan.
The place where the two of them were standing could be seen through the door, so Qing Yuan had to use the action of removing dust to whisper the message to Qing Dai.
"The prince is here, in the tent."
Qingdai was startled, then reacted. The two of them quickly stood on the left and right to protect the brocade tent tightly.
Jiang Xing took advantage of this moment to quickly ask, "Did you check out the underground secret passage? What's inside?"
