Chapter 353 - Chapter 353 - The TricksterMu Jin was silent for a moment. Then, she took out a small white pill from her nose.
He knew that it wasn"t as simple as eating a meal alone with Wei Guanshu, so he took this small pill from Minister Yan. As long as he put it in his nose, no matter what Wei Guanshu added to the spices, his body would not react at all.
He originally thought that Wei Guanshu wanted to use the spices to confuse him, and then have something happen to him, in order to keep him busy. However, the moment he heard about Su Lei, he knew that Wei Guanshu had set her sights on Su Lei.
It was also true that Su Lei"s face was shaped according to Wei Yuanwei"s appearance. Under the situation where the lighting was unclear and the drugs were being used, it would indeed cause him to have an illusion that Su Lei was Wei Yuanwei.
If he had seen Su Lei back then, then Su Lei wouldn"t have had the chance to leave the Prince"s Mansion alive.
Wei Yuanwei helped her fix her face, which was considered a favor, but he hated people who repay favors with enmity.
Fortunately, this Su Lei still knew how to act. She didn"t go along with Wei Guanshu and chose to leave the Duke"s Mansion late into the night.
"It seems that young madam has put in a lot of effort to get rid of the prince. Now that young madam has discovered the true ident.i.ty of the prince, I"m afraid she"ll use this to threaten him!" Xuan Li"s eyes flickered with worry.
However, Mu Jin"s eyes were calm. "You just have to send someone to keep an eye on her. Remember, don"t let her know!"
Preventing Wei Guanshu was the first step, and he suspected that there was someone behind Wei Guanshu.
The enemy was in the dark, he was in the light, and now he had to be extremely careful with every step.
In the entire Duke Palaces, Wei Guanshu was the one they should be on guard against the most, but she could not be on guard against it.
Su Lei hugged a small package in her hands. Inside, there was a change of clothes and some silver from the manor. After leaving the mansion through the back door, they walked into a long alley.
Su Lei didn"t have anything to light her up, she could only faintly distinguish the road beneath her feet under the moonlight.
With a "Aiya!", Su Lei tripped over a leg that suddenly rose up.
Li Chu opened his eyes and lifted the torn quilt from his body. The moonlight was hazy, making it hard for him to see. He only knew one person had tripped over, and it was a woman.
"Are you okay?" Li Chu stood up and went to help.
It was too cold.
Su Lei clutched her knees, crawled up from the ground, then picked up the package from the ground and turned around to look at Li Chu: "It"s okay, I can get up by myself!"
However, when Li Chu walked into Su Lei"s room, his bright eyes were filled with shock. He then said, "Mistress?" But then he immediately rejected it. "You are … Su Lei? "
He could still make out Wei Yuanwei"s voice, and it was impossible for Wei Yuanwei to appear here right now. The only possibility left was Su Lei, and only Su Lei"s face could not be distinguished from Wei Yuanwei"s at night.
Su Lei was shocked. She looked at Li Chu carefully, but realized that she didn"t know this person at all. "Who are you?"
Li Chu knew that since he was dressed up like this Su Lei would definitely not recognize him, so he said: "I"m Wei Yuanwei"s little brother!"
"Then where is Miss Wei now? I have something very important to tell her! " Hearing Li Chu"s words, Su Lei"s eyes flashed with hope, and then he asked: "Why are you dressed like this? Are you sleeping outside the Prince"s Mansion? "
However, Li Chu pulled Su Lei to the side and made Su Lei whisper. They were only separated by a wall. If the patrolling guards heard that, it would be terrible.
"Tell me first, why are you looking for sister?" Obviously, when Su Lei pa.s.sed by this alley, she must have come out from the Prince"s Mansion.
However, Su Lei"s face was filled with determination: "No, I must personally tell Miss Wei that I promised him!"
Hearing Su Lei"s words, Li Chu was stunned for a moment. It seemed that Wei Yuanwei was hiding something from him.
"Sister won"t be able to return in a while, how did you come out of Evil King"s Mansion?" Li Chu"s limpid eyes fell on Su Lei"s face.
The outline of her face resembled Wei Yuanwei"s. If she didn"t speak, even if she stood here, Yun Xie would probably mistake her for Wei Yuanwei. No one would think that she was Wei Yuanwei.
Su Lei"s face showed some hesitation, but she still said, "It was Xie w.a.n.g who brought me to live in the w.a.n.g Mansion!"
"Although you look similar to sister, Xie w.a.n.g can"t possibly not tell who you are!" Li Chu was sure about this point, since he could identify two people very quickly, let alone Yun Xie who was together with Wei Yuanwei day and night.
Su Lei told Li Chu everything that happened after she entered the manor, and the worry on her face was obvious.
Li Chu"s indifferent expression finally revealed a hint of worry. He never thought that Xie w.a.n.g would actually use Su Lei to act in front of Ning Zheyan.
If Wei Yuanwei fell into Ning Zheyan"s hands the next time, Ning Zheyan would definitely torture him thoroughly.
Xie w.a.n.g, Xie w.a.n.g, in order to force Ning Zheyan to cure the poison in Wei Yuanwei"s body, you have actually unwittingly pushed Wei Yuanwei into the tiger"s den!
He only hoped that Wei Yuanwei and Ning Zheyan would not meet again in the future!
"Where is Miss Wei now? I really have something very important to tell her! " The worry on Su Lei"s face became even more obvious.
After Wei Yuanwei fixed sher up, he had already told her her her true ident.i.ty, and repeatedly reminded her that if Evil King found his in the future, he must pretend that he didn"t know anything, and if Evil King brought her into the Duke Palaces, there must be a woman called Wei Guanshu who would come find her. He must pretend to believe whatever Wei Guanshu said to her, and if Wei Guanshu wanted to get close to her, she must do the same.
All of these things had been said by Wei Yuanwei, if Wei Yuanwei had not told her what had happened previously, she would not have known that the seemingly gentle and elegant Wei Guanshu was actually such a venomous woman.
Wei Guanshu had always thought that she was interested in Evil King and wanted to stay in the Duke Palaces. However, he did not know that Wei Yuanwei had made her pretend to be like this, and it was only in this way that Wei Guanshu would get close to her and use her.
At the very last moment, Wei Guanshu actually wanted her to tempt the Duke so that he could have relations with him.
As for the Prince"s Mansion, she spent every day like a year in it. As long as she stayed in it, she would have to perform for a day. She was truly too tired!
"Let"s wait for two more days. If she still hasn"t returned, I"m afraid I"ll have to go find Xie w.a.n.g!" Li Chu looked at Su Lei, and from her tone, it seemed that she really had something important to say: "If you have something to say, then just tell me, the w.a.n.gfei is my master, I will naturally not harm her!"
