Qi Yu's face changed drastically. His face was livid and he was speechless for a while.
"Master!" Liu Fan cupped his fists and saluted Mu Shi.
"Fan'er." Mu Shi smiled kindly. Liu Fan turned around and looked at Qi Yu with a half-smile, and said, "Do you want to continue? It's better to give the antidote to this prince as soon as possible. This prince hereby promises that within ten years of Xiling,
Don’t offend Dongling.”
"Huh! I only have two words to say to you: Don't even think about it!" After Qi Yu finished speaking, he turned around and walked away surrounded by the imperial guards.
Liu Fan and others stood there and watched them go away. Liu Fan looked back at his master and asked with his eyes what to do next.
"Qi Yu already knows the princess's status in Xiling. He will never hand over the antidote easily. Let's find a place to stay first and heal their wounds," Mu Shi said.
Liu Fan looked at Xiaozhu and the others with blood at the corners of their mouths and pale faces, and nodded.
The group of people found an inn to stay at. After Mu Shi performed exercises to heal the injuries of several girls, everyone sat together to discuss.
"It seems like it's impossible not to show them how awesome you are!" Liu Fan slapped the table.
"Your Highness, I do not advocate war. After all, the disaster caused by war is too great, but I would like to take a risk." Taoist priest Mu Shi said.
Several people turned their eyes to him, wondering what adventure he was talking about.
"My master wants to sneak into the palace and capture the old thief Qi Yu as a hostage," Mu Shi said.
Liu Fan pondered for a while and said: "There are many guards in the palace and the guards are tight. I'm afraid it won't be easy."
"His Highness and I have gone into Dongling Palace before, and I still remember the route. Why don't you let me sneak in and capture the old thief." Xiaozhu volunteered.
"You're injured, so you can't." Liu Fan denied.
"The injury is no longer a problem." Xiaozhu said.
"Let's act together tonight. Weishi and Xiaozhu will sneak into the palace, and you guys will take care of us outside." Taoist Master Mu Shi said. Liu Fan nodded, looking out the window unintentionally, stood up suddenly, and said to everyone: "Look!"
Wuyou and Yun Shang hurriedly came over and saw a few men and women walking on the street who looked tired and looked like they had traveled a long distance. The men were obviously eunuchs. Xiaozhu also came over, pointed at them and blurted out: "This is not following.
The princess went to Xiling with those few people?"
"Yes! It's them!" Liu Fan said, as he was about to jump out of the window, Xiao Zhu grabbed him. "Wait, let me go. After all, I took care of them in Xiling."
Liu Fan nodded. Xiaozhu hurriedly left the room, hurried downstairs and chased into the street. He followed them to a place with few people before appearing in front of them.
"Miss Xiaozhu!" Everyone stopped in surprise.
"It's not convenient here, can you take a step to talk?" Xiaozhu said in a low voice.
Eunuch Wu looked around and said, "Let's go into the inn in front to talk." After that, he continued walking forward as if nothing had happened. Xiaozhu joined the others, followed them into the inn, and went upstairs to find a quiet seat.
Eunuch An and the others didn't know that Xiao Zhu and the others were here for the princess's antidote without asking. They just didn't know what Xiao Zhu wanted them to do.
"Xiao Zhu, please do me a favor." Xiao Zhu said.
"We were lucky enough to have Miss Xiaozhu taking care of us in Xiling. His Royal Highness also interceded for us, so we were able to return home with our lives saved. Whatever Miss Xiaozhu wants us to do, we can do whatever we want. As long as we can do it, we will die without mercy."
." Eunuch Wu said.
"I want to sneak into the palace with you. As for what I do, you don't have to ask." Xiaozhu said bluntly.
Eunuch Wu and others looked at each other in confusion. If Xiaozhu wanted to sneak into the palace, he must be doing something big. Their expressions changed involuntarily.
"I won't cause trouble to you, just report back as I said." After Xiaozhu finished speaking, he carefully looked at Liuye and Huamei. After feeling that Huamei's figure was similar to hers, he said: "You stay here tonight
Inn, I’m going to wrong you for one night.” Huamei didn’t understand what he meant and could only nodded.
"Everyone, wait for me here. I'll come back to you in a moment." Xiaozhu cupped his fists at them and left quickly.
Eunuch Wu, Liu Ye and the others looked at each other and said, "What do they want to do?"
Eunuch An shook his head: "I think it will be detrimental to the emperor. Do we really want to help them?"
"I just want to help. The princess, Miss Xiaozhu, and the prince are all kind to us," Liu Ye said.
"But what about the safety of the emperor? We are the people of Dongling after all!" Eunuch An said.
Eunuch Wu was silent. He thought for a while and said, "Let's run away quickly." Several people agreed. Everyone stood up and hurriedly wanted to leave the inn, but as soon as they left their seats, an old man with flowing silver hair stood in front of them.
.
"Please get out of the way!" Eunuch Wu frowned. Now that he was at the door of his own house, he had some more skills and his tone was naturally a bit tough.
It was Mu Shi who blocked them. He smiled faintly and said, "Didn't you promise to wait for me? Why did you break your promise again?"
When Eunuch An heard that he was with Xiaozhu, he had to smile bitterly. It seemed that he couldn't escape today, so he had to sit down with everyone again.
"We have no choice but to do this. Don't worry, this matter will not affect you." Taoist priest Mu Shi said.
Mr. An and the others had to wait quietly. After a while, a figure hurried up the stairs. When they looked up, they couldn't help but stood up in shock. Then they all looked at Huamei, and then at the person who came. They turned out to be exactly the same.
Mu Shi looked back and nodded with a satisfied smile: "Yes, Xiaozhu's disguise skills have been perfected."
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time." Xiaozhu came over with a smile. She came back in disguise, and it was hard to tell the truth from Huamei. "Huamei, from now on, I will pretend to be you and enter the palace, and you will pretend to be held hostage by us.
From now on, you follow my master and the others, and when the matter is successful, I will let you go back safely."
Huamei nodded. Xiaozhu and she walked to the guest room and changed each other's clothes. When they came out again, no one knew whether it was Xiaozhu or Huamei who came out.
"Let's go." Xiaozhu handed the sword to his master and said to everyone. The group left the inn and headed towards the palace.
After entering the palace, Xiaozhu followed them silently, trying not to speak to avoid exposing any flaws. Naturally, the first person they went to see was Queen Gao Yan.
"Your Majesty, my servant is back." Eunuch Wu, Eunuch An, Liu Ye, and Xiao Zhu knelt in a row.
Gao Yan glanced at them coldly, took a sip of tea, and said, "What did I tell you back then?"
Eunuch Wu lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"The mission was not completed, so you came back privately?" Gao Yan placed the tea cup heavily on the table.
"Your Majesty, if the servants don't come back, I'm afraid they won't even be able to save their lives. The princess is always guarding her personal masters. The servants can't get even half a step closer to her. There's no chance of killing her." Eunuch Wu said tremblingly.
