Chapter 298: Stunned and taken away
Yuehua warned with a stern face: "Second Master Shen, please respect yourself! I have no intention of getting into a conflict with you, but if you insist on pestering me, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Seeing this, Shen Yi was so frightened that his face turned pale and he begged for mercy quickly.
However, just when Yuehua relaxed a little, he suddenly raised his hands high in surrender, but took this opportunity to quickly take out a bag of powder from his sleeve and sprinkled it on Yuehua's face.
Yuehua was shocked and subconsciously thought that this was a drug, so she quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hands.
But what she didn't expect was that these powders were not drugs, and Shen Yi, who was originally standing in front of her, had disappeared without a trace.
Although Yuehua was very confused about Shen Yi's behavior tonight, she knew very well that this matter was of great importance and she must report it to Prince Yu as soon as possible so that he could be prepared.
At the back door of the palace, Yuehua and Hexiang's eyes met unexpectedly.
In an instant, Yuehua was stunned as if struck by lightning, her mind went blank, and only one question kept circling in her mind: How could she appear here?
After all, in her understanding, this person was just an ordinary maid beside Miss Yu Er.
At the same time, Yuehua's gaze passed He Xiang and fell on the two people following closely behind her - they were the princess and the concubine!
This discovery made Yuehua even more shocked, and her heart was filled with doubts and confusion.
However, He Xiang did not deliberately conceal her appearance at this time.
Obviously, she had never expected to meet Yuehua here.
However, after just a moment of surprise, He Xiang quickly regained her composure and took decisive action.
Before Yuehua could react, He Xiang waved her arm and a white powder suddenly flew towards Yuehua like smoke.
Yuehua was caught off guard and had no time to dodge or take defensive measures. In the blink of an eye, she was covered by the mysterious powder.
As the powder gradually dissipated, Yuehua fell limply to the ground.
Seeing this scene, He Yuehuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was curious and asked, "Who is this person?"
Yuehua was a secret guard before, and even she, as a princess, had never seen him.
Facing He Yuehuan's question, He Xiang pursed her lips slightly, and after a moment of silence, she softly responded: "It's come to this point, there's no point in saying more. To avoid unnecessary complications, let's take her away first."
He Yuehuan and Wang Qi looked at each other and understood each other. Although they were both weak women, they also knew that the situation was urgent at this moment.
So, they stepped forward without hesitation, worked together to help the unconscious Yuehua up, and then walked away carefully.
Since He Yuehuan and Wang Qi were both weak women, they could not perform any martial arts like climbing walls and flying over rooftops, not to mention they had to carry the unconscious Yuehua with them. If they were not careful, they would be caught by the guards near the palace.
However, for Qi Wuyou, who is extremely wealthy, these problems are just a piece of cake.
If she had this intention, it would not be difficult for her to buy not only a house in Tongzhou, but even the entire city of Tongzhou.
At this moment, the streets were empty, with only a gentle breeze blowing.
He Xiang led the two of them out of the palace, and after walking for a while they turned into a narrow and secluded alley.
Although this place is not far from the palace, it is a unique desolate place in Tongzhou City.
There are also rumors that ghosts often appear here, which is creepy.
Therefore, neither He Yuehuan nor Wang Qi had ever set foot in this area.
Wang Qi was already exhausted and out of breath, but he still kept chattering: "Such a desolate place, not to mention at night, even in the daytime, few people come here. How could you choose this place as your base?"
He Xiang glanced at her sideways, but before she could respond, a chilly wind suddenly blew over and instantly extinguished the torch in her hand.
I have to say that the two of them are truly best friends who are as close as sisters.
Although He Yuehuan felt terrified, she resisted the urge to scream. Instead, she quickly reached out and covered Wang Qi's mouth, fearing that her scream would lead to something unexpected.
After taking a deep breath, He Xiang lit the torch in her hand again. The bright and warm flame was like a reassurance, making the two people present feel a little more at ease.
She looked at them calmly and said softly, "Don't worry, there are no ghosts here, you can relax!"
Hearing this, Wang Qi couldn't help but swallow nervously, and asked with a trembling voice: "You...how do you know?"
He Xiang shrugged lightly and replied with a relaxed look: "I have been here several times. Look at me, do I look like I have something to do?"
After saying that, she turned around deliberately to show that she was safe and sound.
Wang Qi was speechless for a moment. After a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Are we really going to live in this place?"
As she spoke, she looked around with horror in her eyes. She was horrified by the dilapidated and eerie environment.
He Xiang did not stop, but turned around and continued walking forward, her tone still calm: "Of course it's impossible, how can such a shabby place be suitable for living?"
There was a hint of disdain in her words.
Wang Qi heaved a long sigh of relief when he heard this, and murmured to himself: "That's good, that's good..."
However, before she finished her words, she seemed to suddenly remember something important, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, bringing with her He Yuehuan, who was also supporting Yuehua.
Wang Qi asked anxiously: "Wait, you will definitely protect our safety, right? And our families!"
She stared at He Xiang's back, her eyes full of expectation and pleading.
The corners of He Xiang's mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, but that smile was unpredictable.
She slowly turned her head, looked at Wang Qi with a smile, and said softly: "Isn't it too late to ask this question now?"
Wang Qi bit her lips tightly and stared at He Xiang firmly, as if she was determined to not give up until she achieved her goal, as if she wanted to dig out the answer that would reassure her from He Xiang's mouth.
Facing such a stubborn Wang Qi, He Xiang sighed helplessly and said softly: "Okay, since you insist on asking, I will tell you. Tonight, the bandits outside Tongzhou City will break into the city and burn, kill and loot at will. Your family will also die, but..."
Having said this, He Xiang paused for a moment and continued, "This also means that your father and brother can use this opportunity to fake their own death and escape."
Wang Qi and He Yuehuan looked at each other and immediately understood the deep meaning.
It turned out that when they didn't know, their worried father and brother had already secretly contacted Xuan Yelan and reached an agreement.
The only requirement of this operation is to bring them both back safely.
