The man scowled, "Everything is ready. As long as he appears, he won't be able to escape. But the drug on the robe somehow didn't work. I tested him on purpose just now, but he seemed quite normal. Since the robe didn't work, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to lure him here."
Hearing his words, Ruyu raised her brows and said with smug satisfaction, "I didn't have an idea before, but now I know how to lure him here. Look at me. Do I look like someone?"
The man stared at Ruyu for a long time before he looked at her hairpin, "Princess Yun Shang?"
Ruyu nodded and smiled, full of confidence, "We were caught in the rain, so Princess Yun Shang gave her clothes to us. I chose this suit deliberately as it looks like the one she wore. She gave me her hairpin. If I were to sit in a remote place with my back to him, he would believe I'm Princess Yun Shang. Besides, I secretly took Princess Yun Shang's silk handkerchief..."
The man thought for a while before he nodded, "Since you are so confident, just do it as there isn't much else to do. Prince Jing is indeed not an ordinary person as he was able to ascertain that there was something wrong with the robe."
Ruyu was still absorbed in her own thoughts. The man frowned and enjoined, "Be careful."
Ruyu was rapt in her fantasy world and wondered how she would seduce the Prince so that they would spend all night in bed together. She didn't notice what the man in gray said. She said, "Don't worry. I'm leaving now. He will be here soon. Be prepared."
Ruyu didn't know that someone had reported to Prince Jing what had happened between her and the man in gray. While watching the
Emperor Ning that Princess Yun Shang is missing. Tell him that a servant girl saw Princess Yun Shang sitting in the Pavilion, before the Princess was taken away by four men in gray. Give the hairpin to Emperor Ning and he will understand."
There was no one around Prince Jing, but a low voice spoke, "Yes, Your Highness."
Prince Jing thought for a while and remembered that his guard had told him Ruyu had been in Qingsi House, which was near Lingya Pavilion. Prince Jing thought for a moment before he decided to walk toward Qingsi House.
As soon as he entered Qingsi House, Prince Jing heard something flying toward him. He looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw many arrows heading his way.
Prince Jing frowned as he reached for his sword but found nothing. He was by Emperor Ning's side earlier today, and it was not allowed to carry the sword. Prince Jing immediately bent to dodge the arrows. He took the opportunity to grab a dagger from his boot to block the arrows. But the moment the dagger touched the arrows, the arrows exploded and a gust of smoke engulfed him.
