After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 206: Discovered

The powder quickly blended into the night and drifted into the room through the window on the wind.

Watching the fine dust particles floating in the air, Wanxia subconsciously held her breath.

Watching her complete her series of movements, Ye Qing couldn't help but lean closer and whisper, "You still need this move?"

He frowned, his face full of worry.

Wanxia waved her hand and said smugly, "Of course not, how could I possibly use the same powder on them?"

Isn't this just asking to be discovered?

She chuckled softly, a hint of anticipation in her eyes: "Just you wait and see. If they dare to scheme against girls like this, I won't let them get away with it."

Her voice carried a hint of coldness, which startled Ye Qing, who then fell silent.

These people who tried to scheme against Lin Rusi deserve to die.

This time, even he couldn't bring himself to say anything to stop it.

The drug took effect very quickly, and soon, terrified screams could be heard from inside the room.

"Damn it, what is this?"

Sun Jiayi's voice was filled with shock and anger, as if she wanted to lift the roof off.

"Miss, your face..."

The maidservant, trembling, pointed hard at her face, her expression terrified.

Hearing the particularly interesting conversation inside, Wanxia's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously wanted to move closer.

But before she could make a move, Ye Qing grabbed her: "Be careful you don't get caught."

Forced to stop her from moving forward, Wanxia turned her head helplessly and looked at him with dissatisfaction: "They don't know martial arts, how could they possibly find me?"

"But..." Ye Qing was still worried.

Wanxia forcefully pushed him away and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Besides, I already missed the good show with Princess Lin'an, I can't miss it again this time, can I?"

Hearing her soft complaints, Ye Qing's forehead twitched, feeling even more helpless.

He desperately wanted to remind them that they hadn't come here just to watch the spectacle.

But seeing Wanxia's enthusiastic expression, he didn't say anything more.

Instead, he silently took a step back and let her open the window.

This time, my wish finally came true!

Wanxia smiled broadly and eagerly peered out the window.

A crack appeared in the door and window, and in the dim candlelight, Sun Jiayi's face was revealed to her.

Her once fair and jade-like face was now completely red, and not only that, but there were also thumb-sized pimples scattered across her face, making her look particularly frightening.

"Miss, please don't move, be careful...be careful!"

Inside the room, the maid looked at Sun Jiayi's ugly face in horror, and after a long time, she cautiously stepped forward.

But seeing the fear on her face only fueled Sun Jiayi's anger.

She slapped the maid hard across the face, her expression contorted: "You wretch, what kind of expression is that?"

She glared fiercely at the maid, but her hand kept wandering over her face.

The sudden, sharp pain in her cheek gave her a bad feeling, especially when she touched the bumpy pimples. She started screaming, "What... what's wrong with my face?"

"Don't worry, Miss, I'll go get the doctor right away."

The maid covered her face tightly, her voice already trembling with sobs.

But she dared not show the slightest resentment, because Sun Jiayi was ruthless by nature. If she were to discover that Sun Jiayi harbored even the slightest resentment, she feared that her life and fortune would be in danger.

"Then hurry up and go! If my face is ruined, I won't let you off the hook!" she yelled sharply at the maid.

Seeing this, Wanxia couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Serves them right, it's good that they're ruined!

She silently complained in her heart, while Ye Qing couldn't stand it anymore.

Especially when he saw the maid rushing out, he quickly grabbed Wanxia and hid her in the corner: "Alright, stop laughing, or someone will find out."

Hidden in front of him, Wanxia blushed, finally stopping her smile and awkwardly turning her head away: "Aren't you happy watching this?"

"Of course I'm happy!"

Evil has its retribution. Now that Sun Jiayi has become like this, he's afraid she won't be able to cause trouble for Lin Rusi for a while. Of course he's happy!

only……

He sighed and said helplessly, "Can we go back now? If we delay any longer, I'm afraid something might happen."

How can it be?

Wanxia instinctively wanted to speak, but when she looked up and met Ye Qing's serious expression, she couldn't utter a rebuttal.

She took a deep breath and quickly pushed him away: "Fine, let's go."

With that, she used her lightness skill to turn around and leave.

Although I don't know why this young lady has become so easy to talk to, it's a good thing that she's willing to leave.

Watching her retreating figure, Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed after her.

The two knew the way well and ran towards the wall.

But before they even got there, a startled cry suddenly came from nearby: "Who goes there?"

Ye Qing subconsciously turned around and saw that it was the little maid who had left Sun Jiayi's room who had returned.

Damn it!

Seeing that she had been discovered, Wanxia's expression changed: "Why is she back? What should we do?"

Although she was asking Ye Qing's opinion, she was already running quickly towards the little maid, trying to grab her.

But it was too late...

"Help! Thief!"

These four simple words have already revealed that their whereabouts have been exposed.

Soon, the voices of the guards rang out: "The thief is over there!"

"Surround the entire mansion to protect the young lady's safety."

Amidst the rising and falling noises, Ye Qing's expression suddenly turned cold.

He grabbed Wanxia's hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "Don't go, it's too late."

Wanxia glared at the maid, her expression extremely unpleasant: "What should we do? We're surrounded."

The torchlight was gradually illuminating the dark courtyard. Although they were hiding in the shadows, it was only a matter of time before they were discovered.

"We cannot sit idly by and wait to die."

Wanxia clenched her fists tightly, constantly observing the surrounding terrain, trying to find an escape route.

However, the surrounding area was scattered with courtyards and roads, and there were sounds of people everywhere, so they had nowhere to escape.

Just as Wanxia was at her wit's end and was about to rush out and fight them, Ye Qing suddenly spoke up: "You go first."

"Stop fooling around, let's break out. Maybe there's still a glimmer of hope. As long as we escape from here, we'll have a chance..."

Wanxia didn't turn around and continued speaking in a low voice.

But before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted: "The two of them have no way to escape. We're already surrounded. I'll distract them, and you can take the opportunity to leave."

His voice was deep, yet it gave people a sense of security in the dark night.

Wanxia turned around, still unwilling: "But..."

"If we keep talking nonsense, we might really not be able to leave."

Ye Qing spoke coldly, but his gaze remained fixed on the distance not far away.

The firelight was getting closer and closer; they would probably be discovered in no time.
