Chapter 232: There was no time to enter the inner room, and he was lying on the ground
The woman in front of him had curved eyebrows and eyes full of cunning and pride. Her delicate white hands were placed on his chest to help him breathe, but Xie Nanyuan had no idea in his mind at the moment.
I just couldn't wait to go back home and change all my clothes.
Xie Nanyuan tried to struggle again, but unfortunately the cartilage powder was too strong. Two hours passed and he still couldn't muster any strength.
Xie Nanyuan took a deep breath, his face tense, and said in a low voice, "Now that you've made enough trouble, why don't you just let me go! Let me get rid of this cartilage powder!"
Shen Qionghua raised her eyebrows when she heard that.
Dissolve the cartilage?
Do you really think she is stupid?
She had teased him like this, and now he was furious, so he released the cartilage powder. Wasn't his anger directed at her?
She can't beat King Rui.
Shen Qionghua withdrew the hand that had been helping him to calm down, gently covered her mouth, and looked surprised, "Ah, Your Highness, I'm so sorry, Doctor Pei didn't give me the antidote, so it may not be possible."
Xie Nanyuan immediately looked up and glared at Shen Qionghua.
Shen Qionghua spread his hands and said innocently, "Your Highness, what I said is true. I definitely didn't hide the antidote from you on purpose."
"I swear!" Shen Qionghua raised four fingers.
Xie Nanyuan's forehead veins throbbed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What should I do then?"
Shen Qionghua tried her best to suppress her smile and said, "Well... then Your Highness can only wait for the effect of the medicine to wear off, but the effect of this cartilage powder seems to last a long time."
"Let me think about how long it's been... Dr. Pei told me that." Shen Qionghua walked leisurely with his arms folded across his chest, as if thinking. Suddenly, he said with an epiphany, "It seems to be four hours!"
She looked at Xie Nanyuan with a smile, reached out and gently patted his shoulder, and comforted him: "Your Highness, it will be soon. You will be back to normal in two hours. Just bear with it~~"
This is obviously intentional!
Xie Nanyuan understood. Perhaps because he had experienced too many things that night, he was no longer in a hurry.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, pursed his lips, and said with a forced smile: "It's okay, it's only two hours, I can wait!"
When he regains his strength, he will let her see what happens to her for playing a trick on him!
Shen Qionghua's right eye twitched, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Her gloating attitude dropped and she said with a smile, "How can I let the prince wait here for two hours?"
"It will be dawn in two hours. If someone sees His Majesty leaving the Shen Mansion so early in the morning, wouldn't that ruin His Majesty's reputation?"
"Why don't we have someone send His Majesty back to the palace to rest? I don't have a place for you to rest here, and I can't keep you tied up forever, can I?"
What a joke! She had no intention of letting Prince Rui stay in the house for another two hours.
Two hours later, the effect of Prince Rui's cartilage powder wore off. If he was still in the Shen family, the first thing he would do would probably be to settle the score with her.
Shen Qiong decisively chose to throw this hot potato away and return to Prince Rui's Mansion. Prince Rui could vent his anger however he wanted, as long as he didn't bring harm to her.
With this in mind, Shen Qionghua asked softly, "Why isn't Linze with the prince? I think it would be best to let Linze take the prince back to the palace to rest. Once he wakes up, the cartilage powder in his body will naturally dissolve."
Xie Nanyuan's eyebrows darkened, he sneered, and said, "I also want to know where he died."
His master was tied up for two hours, but he disappeared without a trace. Even the secret guards guarding the Shen family's palace did not show up.
At the most critical moment just now, Xie Nanyuan had called Linze and the palace's secret guards, but no one responded to him in the silent night.
Xie Nanyuan was extremely angry, and the expression on his face became even colder.
These people are really great!
Shen Qionghua listened to the tone, rolled his eyes, and instructed Shaoyao: "Go, find Linze and see where he is."
"If he's not nearby, then go look for him at An Yi's place."
"Yes!" Shaoyao stepped back.
Linze was found in less than a quarter of an hour.
Linze was indeed with An Yi.
It turned out that Lin Ze guessed that Xie Nanyuan would leave before dawn again. He didn't want to be an eyesore and felt very depressed, so he went to find An Yi and pulled him out of the bed to talk.
Since Xie Nanyuan sent more secret guards to the palace, Captain An Yi no longer needed to guard the Shen Mansion all day long. They took turns.
It was a coincidence today as I happened to meet An Yi taking a break.
I was sleeping soundly at night when I heard a slight noise and suddenly opened my eyes. My hand subconsciously touched the dagger under the pillow.
The next moment, the quilt was lifted up, and the two exchanged a few moves. An Yi realized that the person was Lin Ze, and then he couldn't help cursing.
Lin Ze didn't mind either. He pulled An Yi over and started to complain about Xie Nanyuan's actions.
Later, other secret guards reported that Xie Nanyuan had arrived, so Linze advised An Yi to withdraw all the secret guards in Shen Qionghua's courtyard tonight and not to disturb Xie Nanyuan.
Because of his previous experience, An Yi trusts Lin Ze very much in this matter.
Thinking that Shen Qionghua would be safe with the prince around, he withdrew everyone as Linze said.
This is why Xie Nanyuan was kidnapped for a whole night but no secret guard discovered him.
When Shaoyao came over, Linze was still hiding. It was not until Shaoyao told An Yi that she wanted Linze to bring Xie Nanyuan back home that Linze showed up.
Linze followed Shaoyao towards Shen Qionghua's yard in confusion, thinking to himself.
Why would the maidservant beside Miss Shen come to see him?
Could it be that the prince has already won over Miss Shen, and the future mistress feels that it is not easy for him to follow the prince all night long every time, so she wants to reward him?
So what did this maid mean when she asked him to bring the prince back to the palace?
Could it be possible that Prince Lu didn't recognize him when he returned to the palace?
Could it be that...something else happened tonight...that caused the prince to be a little weak...?
The prince looks tall and mighty, but it turns out he is not capable!
Linze thought darkly in his heart.
Soon, the two arrived at Shen Qionghua's yard.
Shaoyao walked quickly forward with a smile on her face, opened the door, and motioned Linze to come in.
Lin Ze felt uneasy when he saw her expectant look, but he still strode in.
But there was no sign of Shen Qionghua and Xie Nanyuan.
Linze looked at the screen not far away and felt a little doubtful: Could it be in the inner room?
Wouldn't it be inconvenient for him to go in?
The prince is really something, how could he enter the future mistress's inner chamber...
Could it be that the prince is so weak that he doesn't even have the strength to take a few steps?
Shouldn't it be?!
The prince is so weak, will Miss Shen dislike him and no longer want him?
Lin Ze thought so, scratching his head, tiptoeing, and hesitantly approaching the screen.
Just as he was about to cross the screen, a light cough sounded, which scared Lin Ze so much that he almost jumped up.
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw the prince lying on the ground not far away with his clothes disheveled, staring at him angrily with his neck stiff, while Miss Shen was squatting on the ground, her hands groping the prince's body.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Qionghua pulled out something and threw it on the ground.
Linze took a closer look and found that it was actually a hemp rope as thick as his knuckles.
Good boy! The prince and Miss Shen are actually playing...
There was no time to even get into the inner room, and he was lying on the ground... and using such a thick hemp rope!
No wonder the prince was so exhausted that I had to help him back home.
Lin Zeru stepped back as if he had been hit by a stick, fearing that he would see something he shouldn't see.
Shen Qionghua finally pulled out the rope that was pressed by Xie Nanyuan. When she looked up, she saw Lin Ze was about to retreat to the door, so she hurriedly called out to stop him.
