Chapter 1698 Nothing will happen
The crown prince strode out.
He felt that instead of staying there trying to persuade the other person to leave quickly and wasting time, it would be better for him to get out as soon as possible.
Although his thoughts were good and correct, the strange feeling in his body made it difficult for him to take a step. He thought he was walking fast, but in reality he was walking very slowly.
The girl behind her let out a soft sob, her cries sounding somewhat broken.
"It feels so bad..."
Am I going to be harmed?
"I didn't do anything wrong, why are you trying to hurt me?"
Immediately afterwards, there was a muffled thud, like the sound of a very forceful impact.
Upon hearing the sound, the prince turned around with difficulty and saw that the girl had pulled the quilt out of the bed and wrapped herself tightly in it, her hands gripping it tightly.
His forehead was red.
She actually sat on the floor and slammed her head against the edge of the bed. She did it quite forcefully. As the Crown Prince looked over, she prepared to slam her head against the edge a second time.
With that kind of force, it'll definitely turn into a murder scene in a minute.
The crown prince gritted his teeth and turned back.
"Girl, stop."
The girl was startled by his voice and shrank back towards the bed.
"Don't bump into it, don't worry, you'll be fine. Wait here, I'll go get a doctor."
The girl looked up at him. "Two people? How come there are two people?"
The crown prince was stunned. He looked around and realized that he was indeed the only one there.
It seems the girl was given a different kind of drug than he was. He was seeing someone else, and this girl was even experiencing some kind of hallucination.
"Please spare me, I can give you silver, a thousand taels, no, three thousand taels, is that alright?"
The girl became even more frightened after she "saw" that there were two men in front of her. She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, curled up into a ball, and tried to buy her safety with money.
“I will go out,” the prince said, his desire burning even stronger at the sight of her pitiful, flushed face. “But don’t bang your head anymore, don’t hurt yourself.”
"Let me go, please let me go."
The crown prince pinched himself hard again.
He's going to lose control if he doesn't go out soon.
Seeing that the girl had stopped hitting her head, he turned and walked outside.
This time, however, the girl's expression changed drastically as he turned around. She suddenly pulled out the hairpin from her head, loosened the blanket, stood up, and rushed towards the prince.
She gripped the hairpin tightly in her hand and, with a fierce thrust of the pointed end, stabbed it into the prince's back.
Normally, the Crown Prince would react quickly and be able to avoid it.
However, since he was already under the influence of the drug, the slight clarity brought on by the pain only allowed him to focus on getting out of there as soon as possible, and he was completely unaware of the danger behind him.
In a flash, just as the hairpin in the girl's hand was about to pierce the prince's back, someone suddenly pushed open the door and shouted—
"Yao Yutong, are you here?"
As she uttered those words, she had already entered the room. Upon seeing the scene before her, her voice suddenly changed, "Your Highness the Crown Prince?!"
Another girl rushed in, lunging at the prince and trying to push him away.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. In that instant, the prince felt something burning hot in his chest, and the people behind him seemed to be thrown back by some force, letting out a cry and staggering backward.
The prince also regained some clarity in that instant, and his body instinctively moved quickly to the side.
The girl who came in later was originally going to rush over and hug him, and then turn around and switch places with him, but the prince moved her away, and she suddenly lost her target.
Once she charged forward, she couldn't stop herself and lunged at the girl behind her.
The two fell together.
There was a loud thud; someone's head had hit something again.
The prince stopped, clutched his chest, and then, as if remembering something, quickly took out a small brocade pouch.
This is a talisman given to me by my imperial aunt.
He opened it and poured out a little bit of talisman ash.
The prince held the talisman ashes and the brocade pouch tightly in his hand.
His aunt saved him.
Her talismans are indeed that powerful; the Imperial Uncle was right.
The girl who had just fallen on top of the first girl, after being stunned for a moment, immediately got up and turned to look at the prince.
The prince looked directly into her face.
"Your Highness..."
The person behind him is Kim Hee.
The crown prince immediately retreated to the door, where several footsteps could be heard.
"Aze."
The crown prince turned his head and saw his uncle, and his heart immediately calmed down.
"Uncle, that wine isn't right..."
"know."
Zhou Shiyue didn't let him continue, but handed him a pill instead, saying, "Take this."
Without a second thought, the prince put the food in his mouth and swallowed it whole without hesitation.
"The Great Breaking Pill developed by Dr. Fu," Zhou Shiyue said.
Although the name is unpleasant, it is most effective against those insidious, shady poisons that cannot be shown in public.
Doctor Fu really did develop the pills for him. He was afraid that the closer the wedding got, the more evil spirits would surround him. If someone sent a few beauties over, or tried to use some underhanded tricks, and he couldn't defend himself and did something to betray Lu Zhaoling, the wedding would be canceled.
A few days ago, when Dr. Fu mysteriously brought him this small bottle of medicine, Zhou Shiyue was speechless.
He thought it was unlikely that he would fall for such a dirty trick, but considering it was a kind gesture from Dr. Fu, he accepted it.
Unexpectedly, the first one was used by the Crown Prince.
"I've used one of the protective charms." The prince finally breathed a sigh of relief after taking the pill.
Zhou Shiyue's expression changed slightly.
The fact that the amulet was used means that Zhou Ze was in danger just now. Not the kind of danger that was deliberately designed, as the amulet doesn't protect against that, but rather a life-threatening danger.
Today is his joyous day, yet someone is here all day, in his own territory, trying to assassinate the Crown Prince?
"Someone come here!" Zhou Shiyue's tone turned serious.
"Tie him up."
He could already see that there were two girls in the room.
It seems these are the two people Qiu Yunzhen was talking about.
"Senior Brother Jin, he's not over there!" Qiu Yunzhen and Qin Yuerong rushed over as well.
“Come and see if it’s them,” Zhou Shiyue said.
Qiu Yunzhen ran over and saw, "Yes! That's Jin Xi!" She pointed to the pale-faced girl standing there.
Another one lay motionless on the ground.
Qinglin went over to check on her and said, "Your Highness, she has fainted. And her complexion is not right."
The girl's face was so red it looked like it was about to burst, it was almost frighteningly red.
"Your Highness!"
Qin Yuerong also rushed over.
Upon seeing the scene inside the room, his expression changed.
She quickly looked the prince over, and when she found that his clothes were still on, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine," the crown prince whispered to her.
“They…” Qin Yuerong looked at Jin Xi, then at the one on the ground.
“Tie them up,” Zhou Shiyue said.
