Li Xuan came to the mansion, but did not see Xia Ruixue. Instead, he was led directly into a study room.
"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, please wait here for a moment. The princess will be here soon."
The butler said with a pleasant smile, "I will ask someone to bring tea, please enjoy it slowly."
"sorry to bother you."
Li Xuan said politely.
The housekeeper left, leaving Li Xuan sitting in the study. He was planning in his mind what he would say to the princess when he saw him later, and how to make the princess believe his conjecture.
Li Xuan has determined that the Mystic Pill is not used to deal with Salang at all, but to deal with Xia Ruixue.
As for why Lai Cang did this, he also had a guess.
Li Xuan had long suspected that Lai Cang, who appeared to be from the Six Gates, was actually the archer he met in the valley last time, and was basically a member of the Black Cloud Thieves.
Although their appearance is different, their body shape and the skills they are good at are exactly the same.
The Five Wheels Peak Realm has superb techniques and magic weapons, so it is not difficult to disguise oneself.
Li Xuan is almost certain that Lai Cang is that person! The monster siege and the recent events in the Eastern Province should have something to do with Lai Cang.
This series of events was actually a cover-up, all designed to lure Xia Ruixue to Maplewood City and give her the Mystic Pill.
As for the purpose of drugging Xia Ruixue, Li Xuan couldn't guess it.
"What an ingenious trap."
Li Xuan carefully recalled Lai Cang's entire plan and couldn't help but admire it secretly.
All the steps were linked together, causing Xia Ruixue to step into the trap unknowingly. It was really cunning! If Lai Cang hadn't needed the magic pill and Li Xuan was a little involved in this matter, he would have really seen it.
The conspiracy inside cannot be revealed.
Just as Li Xuan was thinking about it, the door of the room was pushed open, and it was the servant who came to deliver refreshments.
The servant put down the steaming cup of fragrant tea and snacks, bowed and said: "Guest, please have tea first. Your Highness will be here soon."
Li Xuan nodded in thanks, picked up the tea cup and was about to take a sip when his nose suddenly smelled a faint scent.
Although this smell was almost masked by the aroma of tea, Li Xuan could still tell that it was the taste of "horse amaranth"! Horse amaranth is a highly poisonous herb, and only a little bit of it is
The juice can poison dozens of adults.
This poison is almost colorless and odorless and can kill people unconsciously.
Li Xuan keenly noticed the smell of amaranth, and even an idiot would understand what was going on! "It smells good, but it's a bit hot."
Li Xuan calmly put the tea cup down again, clearly seeing a look of disappointment on the servant's face.
“The dim sum tastes pretty good too.”
The disappointed expression flashed away, and the servant spoke diligently again.
"oh?
Then you have to try it.”
Li Xuan reached out to get the snack, and then put his fingers on the edge of the plate. Suddenly, he flipped his wrist and a purple halo burst out, covering the servant's body.
The servant felt his whole body go limp, and all the strength in his body faded away like a tide.
Before he could react, Li Xuan had already rushed towards him like a tiger, with a sharp and cold dagger pressed against his throat! "Shut your mouth, or I will cut your neck!"
Li Xuan shouted in a low voice.
The servant didn't dare to move. The fierce look in Li Xuan's eyes showed that he was definitely not joking! "Where is Your Highness?
Have you attacked her?"
Li Xuan asked.
Li Xuan deliberately set the question in a simple and crude way, making the servant mistakenly think that he knew a lot of things, and his psychological defense suddenly collapsed.
"Your Highness is in the guest room on the second floor. She is still safe. Madam plans to attack during dinner..." the servant replied tremblingly.
Li Xuan asked for the location of the guest room and stabbed the dagger violently. The guy struggled for a few times and then stopped moving.
After killing the servant, Li Xuan stood up and directly called for help.
Two cracks opened in the void, and Wan Yongmei and Qin Yiju crossed the barrier of space and came to his side.
"Help me create chaos...I'm going to save the princess!"
Li Xuan said straightforwardly.
Xia Ruixue was sitting at the desk in the guest room, processing several documents.
Suddenly she raised her head, frowned slightly and listened. There was a commotion in the yard outside, and she didn't know what happened.
Just as she was about to go out to find out what was going on, Xia Ruixue suddenly heard a muffled groan at the door.
Having undergone strict training since she was a child, she immediately realized that danger was coming, and almost without thinking, a long bow appeared in her palm.
This longbow looks very ordinary in appearance, just like the standard longbows in the army, but it is a special weapon that the Yunteng Empire's most outstanding weapon refiner spent a year using eight kinds of the best materials to create.
.
On weekdays, this long bow is always hidden in Xia Ruixue's private plane, and its true appearance is rarely revealed.
Whenever it showed its ferocious appearance, someone would definitely be in trouble! The long bow fell steadily into Xia Ruixue's hands, with three sharp arrows attached to the bow string, aiming at the door.
If someone dared to break in, he would be greeted by a series of terrifying snipers! "Dang, dang, dang..." To Xia Ruixue's surprise, the people outside did not force their way in, but knocked on the door gently.
Door.
"who?"
She asked coldly, her longbow not trembling at all.
"Your Highness, it's me, Li Xuan!"
A familiar voice came from outside.
"Li Xuan?"
Xia Ruixue was stunned, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to save you!"
Li Xuan said, "Can you let me go in first?"
"come in."
Xia Ruixue did not put down her long bow.
Growing up in a dangerous place like the palace taught her not to trust anyone from an early age.
Although Li Xuan was considered a trustworthy person, she appeared at the door for no reason and knocked out the guard, which made her wary.
The door opened slowly, and Li Xuan got in. At the same time, he dragged in the guard who was knocked unconscious.
"What are you doing?"
Xia Ruixue asked.
When Li Xuan saw the arrow aimed at him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Yao Ting plans to mix the magic pill into your dinner. Although I don't know what she wants to do, your current situation is very dangerous!"
"How do you know this?"
Xia Ruixue was stunned, but she didn't completely believe Li Xuan's words.
"Because I refined the Mystic Pill."
Li Xuan said.
"Can you refine the magic pill?"
Xia Ruixue was very surprised.
In her memory, Li Xuan was a talisman master. When did he switch to refining elixirs?
"I'll explain that kind of thing to you when it's safe... Your Highness, please believe me.
The recent series of things that happened in the Eastern Province, as well as Peng Yue's departure, are all caused by Lai Cang! Yao Ting's drugging of you was also secretly instigated by him! I suspect that he is the leader of the Black Cloud Thief! "
