Chapter 168: Trap and A much bigger scandal
Lin Chujiuâs eyes look confused and her cheeks were flushed with red. In just one glance, a person will know that she is drunk!
Feicui and the others were speechless: w.a.n.gfei didnât know how to control her alcohol intake? To get drunk on such occasion, a person really doesnât know what to say.
Feicui and others know they must do something. After sighing, Feicui went close to the Wanfu Garden servant and asked them to prepare a room so that Lin Chujiu could rest.
No matter what kind of banquet is held, the host always prepare a resting place for the guests. So, Feicuiâs request is not surprising. The servant told Feicui to wait for a bit.
A few moments later, the servant came with Princess Fu An.
Feicui had long guessed what Princess Fu An will ask, so she didnât wait for her to open her mouth and dared to speak first: âOur w.a.n.gfei drink a few gla.s.ses of cider and felt some discomfort. Please allow us to arrange a room and let our w.a.n.gfei had some rest.â
Princess Fu An listened and said with concern: âDrunk? There is an imperial doctor in the garden. Do you want this imperial princess to send the doctor and check her condition?â
âThis slave thank Princess Fu An. But, w.a.n.gfei is not drunk. w.a.n.gfei only felt a little discomfort and wanted to rest.â Feicui refused.
Is this a joke? Princess Fu An is obviously not a kind person. Who knows if her invited imperial doctor will only make things worse. If that imperial doctor boiled a medicine, will their w.a.n.gfei be able to refuse?
âAlright.â Princess Fuan didnât insist anymore and just said to the servant next to her: âJin Yu, take Princess Xiao to the Xiaoxiang Hall to rest.â
âThis slave will obey.â A little girl came forward, her behavior is very firm, obviously, sheâs Princess Fu Anâs people.
After arranging a servant, Princess Fu An told to Feicui: âJin Yu is very familiar with this place. If you need some other things. You can talk and ask her.â After she finished, Princess Fu An looks at Jin Yu: âDonât neglect Princess Xiao.â
After saying a few more words, Princess Fu An let them go.
When Lin Chujiu arrives, she caught everyoneâs attention. So, naturally, her departure will also catch everyoneâs eyes. However, the Cui Furens didnât dare to ask any questions, they only expose a thoughtful look⦠â¦
The Xiaoxiang Hall is built in the middle of a bamboo forest. The house itself was made from bamboo. After looking around, Feicui and Zhenzhu were very satisfied with it. They thanked Jin Yu and helped Lin Chujiu enter the house to rest.
After letting her hair that was tied in a bun fall and removing her coat, Feicui and Zhanzhu help Lin Chujiu to lie down: âw.a.n.gfei, have a good rest. This slave will guard you outside and keep you safe.â
The backyard was only full of women. The guardsmen that came with Lin Chujiu canât come in. So now, Lin Chujiuâs safety only depends on her four maidservants.
âGood.â Lin Chujiu said with a clear voice. If only her eyes did not look confused and her cheeks were not flushed in red, the four maidservants will suspect that Lin Chujiu is not actually drunk.
When Feicui and Zhanzhu went out, Shanhu and Manao were talking to Jin Yu. But, when they see Zhenzhu, they immediately stop talking. Jin Yu open her mouth and ask: âIs Princess Xiao now sleeping?â
âThank you, Miss Jin Yu for your concern. w.a.n.gfei has already fallen asleep.â After Feicui thanks her, Jin Yu didnât dare to be a busy buddy: âThis is what I must do. If there is nothing else, I will go back now. Princess Fu An is still waiting.â
âMiss Jin Yu take care on your way.â After Feicui sent her out, Jin Yu seems to remember something and said: âOh, right. There is a small kitchen near the Xiaoxiang Hall. There were common kitchen utensils in there. You can ask someone there to prepare a meal, but you can also cook on your own.â
Foods and drinks are things that could easily be tampered. So, if she can do it herself, that would be good because it is a lot safer. Shanhu knows where the Xiaoxiang Hall small kitchen is, so she immediately said: âI will go to the kitchen and see what could be eaten. I want to prepare in advance, so that when w.a.n.gfei woke up. She could eat immediately.â
Princess Fu An will be celebrating her birthday the whole day. They donât know what will be the afternoon activity. Lin Chujiu couldnât stay in the bamboo house the whole time, so it will be nice if they could cook a soup that can make her sober.
âOk, just come back quickly.â Zhenzhu said with a bit of worry.
Shanhu knows that Wanfu Garden is not a safe place, so she said with a serious face: âDonât worry, Iâll be careful.â
Shanhu said she would be careful and come back quickly, but⦠â¦
After a quarter of an hour, Shanhu still hasnât returned.
Another quarter of an hour pa.s.sed by, but even Shanhuâs shadow didnât show up.
âDid something happen to her?â Manao asked with a worried face.
Zhenzhu is also very worried. But, she is the oldest among them. She shouldnât get panic, so she said: âEverything will be alright. We will continue to wait.â
Zhenzhu and Manao know that the most important thing right now is to protect their w.a.n.gfei. They donât need to do something else.
Inside the house, after Feicui and Zhenzhu went outside, Lin Chujiu immediately open her eyes, but⦠â¦
Her cheeks flushed even more. And her vision was blurred more than before.
Right, she got caught in the trap!
Lin Chujiu doesnât know when exactly it happened. The medical system didnât send an alarm. However, if she guessed right, it should be when the fireworks explode. Because that was the only time she was far from the others.
And since the medical system didnât remind her, Lin Chujiu boldly guess that Princess Fu An uses multiple kinds of drugs. These drugs will not cause harm unless it made contact with one another. And that is also why the medical system didnât issue an alarm.
âSure thing, she really made a careful plan. She caught me off guard since the very beginning,â Lin Chujiu pinch her waist. According to her physical reaction, she knew she was given a mixture of aphrodisiac.
âPrincess Fuan is really a good imperial sister. She canât wait to destroy me.â
The best way to quell a scandal is not to stop it, but rather, to create a much bigger scandal.
If all the guest in the birthday party had seen her with a couple of men⦠⦠Will they still remember Princess Fushou Zhangâs scandal?
âTreacherous!â Lin Chujiu secretly cursed and took a deep breath. After calming herself, she decided to remove the aphrodisiac by using an IV drug.
And in order to clear the aphrodisiac from her body as soon as possible, Lin Chujiu specifically increased the dosage.
It will take a while before it effects lessen, so in order to keep herself awake. Lin Chujiu injected the drug into her thigh.
This method works really well. Itâs painful, but at the same time, it wonât leave any scar.
As soon as the IV drug flows in her blood, it plays itâs effect really fast. The hotness in Lin Chujiuâs body almost disappear. The aphrodisiac effect completely vanished when the IV drug was fully injected, but sheâs still feeling weak.
Lin Chujiu knows Princess Fu Anâs arrangement was on its way. And soon, there will a big commotion. She must save her energy so that she could escape later.
As for Feicui and the others?
Lin Chujiu donât expect much. Princess Fu An made a careful plan, so why would she not make an arrangement for them?
However⦠â¦
âHow am I going to fight with this broken body?â
Lin Chujiu pressed her temples, she was still feeling dizzy, so she couldnât help but reveal a wry smile⦠â¦
