Chapter 262 The Battle Began (Part One)

The secret guard should be able to send the news back in time, but how should she leave here? Yun Shang frowned a little. She had been observing the array around the yard in the daytime, but nothing had been found.

She had read some books about arrays in her spare time, but she didn't know much about them. The arrays around the courtyard were obviously works of an expert, or ancient arrays. She was so dizzy that she couldn't find any way to break the arrays.

She knew that even if she could defeat Uncle Liu and get out of the yard and trapped in the array, she would definitely die.

Yun Shang didn't know what to do, so she told her secret guards to find a man who was good at arrays before she fell asleep.

The next morning, Yun Shang got up early. She opened the door and stood in the yard. Uncle Liu came out as if he had heard the door opened. He was surprised to see Yun Shang and said, "good morning, Mr. Xiao. I'm making breakfast. Please wait for a moment... "

Yun Shang didn't answer. She looked at the gate of the yard and said, "Uncle Liu, let me go."

Hearing this, Uncle Liu seemed to be stunned. He looked at Yun Shang with a strange look and lowered his head. "Mr. Xiao, I can't decide it. Please don't make me."

Yun Shang smiled bitterly. "I don't know when counsellor Liu will come back. My mother is in poor health and she needs to be taken care of. If anything happens to her, I'm afraid I can't live either. What's more, I'm just an ordinary person and I can't do anything to what Mr. Liu is planning. I have been staying here all the time and I know nothing about the State of Xia. Why do you make things difficult for me?"

"Ummm.." Uncle Liu's face was expressionless. He said awkwardly, "Mr. Xiao, it's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare. Before my master left, he told me to take good care of you." Afraid that Yun Shang might continue to say something, the servant answered in a hurry, "I'm about to make the porridge in my pot. Let me have a look." Then he rushed into the kitchen.

Yun Shang squinted her eyes and glanced at the kitchen. Af

oking at Yun Shang. Qian Yin asked worriedly, "what happened to my master?" The black blood spilled from Yun Shang's mouth shocked Qian Yin. She asked in a trembling voice, "Is he poisoned? How come?"

Uncle Liu frowned and said, "there is toxic smoke in this array. I'm afraid your young master entered it by mistake and got poisoned."

"What? Is there any antidote? " The more Qian Yin thought about it, the more worried she became. 'I can't let anything happen to lady Jing.'

Uncle Liu nodded, "yes, antidote is here. But the toxic smoke is very strong. It is used to resist the invasion of external enemies, but it was sucked in by your master. Even if there is the antidote, your master will be in a coma for several days."

Hearing this, Qian Yin bit her lip, "take out the antidote."

Uncle Liu carried Yun Shang into the room, put her on the bed, took out a pill and handed it to Qian Yin, "Give it to your master. I'll fetch some hot water later. After taking the pill, he need to detoxify. Get your master into the water, and when the water became clear, it's done."

Qian Yin nodded, and fed the medicine into Yun Shang's mouth. Qian Yin's hands were trembling. She had thought the princess was gone when she saw Yun Shang's miserable look. Fortunately, she was still alive.

Qian Yin wiped the tears and the bloodstain on Yun Shang's mouth with a embroidered handkerchief.
