Chapter 723: How can just being a spectator be enough?
Not long after, Xiao Tingshan stood up and said, "Since Miss Sun is fine for the time being, I will leave first. When Song Ren comes back, please ask him to find me by the Qushui River."
The maid quickly responded: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely pass on the message."
After that, Xiao Tingshan bowed to Shen Shuyi again and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to do my best to fulfill the first condition of the princess, but I am sorry that I cannot do the second condition."
"If the princess considers other conditions, she can send someone to the Duke Cheng's Mansion to look for me."
Shen Shuyi looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
It was not until Xiao Tingshan left that Shen Shuyi's face turned cold and he put the teacup in his hand on the table.
The maid seemed to be tired and sweating profusely. She poured herself a glass of water and gulped it down.
Seeing Shen Shuyi staring at her, she smiled shyly: "Your servant... Your servant is really thirsty."
Shen Shuyi smiled at her: "It's okay."
It takes quite some time to boil the medicine. After Shen Shuyi rested for a while, he stood up and said, "I'll go out and take a look to see if Madam Sun is coming."
Shen Shuyi took her maid away and walked in the woods, but after taking a few steps, she suddenly felt dizzy.
She closed her eyes and shook her head gently. When she opened her eyes again, she found that the trees in the forest seemed to move. She seemed to be trapped in the forest, and every tree was turning.
"Golden beads..."
Shen Shuyi was about to speak when he found that there was no one behind him.
She turned her head and saw that the courtyard was no longer there behind her. Only patches of trees remained.
Shen Shuyi thought to himself: It’s a formation.
I didn't expect that there would be such a formation in the mansion of Prince Shun. However, today, this formation was clearly aimed at me.
Shen Shuyi tried to take a few steps to the east, and the trees in front of her moved away one by one. But when she took a few more steps, the trees in front of her moved and turned into a solid wall, blocking her again.
Shen Shuyi tried several times in different directions and soon determined that this formation was controlling her direction.
She didn't understand the formation, let alone master it. Shen Shuyi adjusted her pace repeatedly until she walked out little by little in one direction.
At this moment, on the pavilion outside the formation, Princess Hanyang looked at Shen Shuyi, who was flying around in the forest like a headless fly, with a smile on her face.
Beside her was Xiao Tingshan, who had just left.
"With such a great opportunity, I hope the prince will not let me down." Princess Hanyang sneered, her eyes full of murderous intent.
Shen Shuyi actually dared to dream of marrying Xie Jingchi, damn it!
And Xie Jingchi, how could he like a woman like her? If she didn't like him so much, she really wanted to kill him too!
Princess Hanyang felt very upset when she thought of this.
After all, Song Tingshan was not the only one who became a laughing stock in the capital. After so long, everyone knew that Princess Hanyang loved Xie Jingchi.
But unfortunately, he didn't even look at me, and instead liked Shen Shuyi.
What an ungrateful person!
I tried to persuade him kindly and humble myself, but he ignored me. Just wait and see, when his marriage with Shen Shuyi is settled, he will make him cry and beg to marry her!
"Thank you very much for your help this time, Princess. I will never forget your kindness. If it succeeds, I will definitely help you to get what you want." Xiao Tingshan bowed and said.
Princess Hanyang raised her eyebrows and sneered: "I really don't know why you like Shen Shuyi? But it's true, with your status, it's just right for her to accompany you. As for Xie Jingchi, she is really not worthy!"
"It's almost time. Song will go first."
Xiao Tingshan didn't waste any more time. He bowed to Princess Hanyang and turned to leave.
Princess Hanyang breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge rock that had been weighing on her heart for a long time had finally been removed, and she felt a lot more relieved.
No matter whether Song Tingshan can help her in the future, as long as today's matter is accomplished, it will be a great joy for Xiao Tinglan.
She admired Xie Jingchi, while Song Tingshan coveted Shen Shuyi, so the two naturally hit it off.
"Let's go. How can such a big show be without audience?" Xiao Tinglan raised the corners of her lips.
Xiao Tinglan was about to turn around and leave with her maid when suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by. Then, before she could react, she felt a pain in the back of her neck and fainted.
The maids nearby were knocked unconscious before they could even scream.
Several maids were thrown back to the attic neatly, and Xiao Tinglan was carried on someone's back.
"My lord." Ye Lan spoke in a deep voice.
Xie Jingchi walked out from the darkness, his eyes were wicked and his bright red lips formed a playful arc.
"How can we just be a spectator of such a big show?"
Xie Jingchi stepped into the bamboo forest, took the longbow handed over by Ye Lan, and shot an arrow through the center of the formation!
The formation broke instantly, and everything around seemed to be an illusion, returning to normal in the blink of an eye.
There are still small bridges, flowing water and lush greenery.
However, Shen Shuyi, who was originally standing in front of the gate of Ningxinyuan, has now been lured by the formation to Chunfeng Pavilion.
Inside Chunfeng Pavilion, Shen Shuyi looked around the room. In her eyes, this place was just a dense forest of flowers.
But in the blink of an eye, it returned to its original state.
The room was rather simply furnished, and the antique display cabinets were covered with a thin layer of dust. It was obvious that someone cleaned the room, but they did not come often.
The bed, table and desk were tidied quite cleanly, but there was a slight smell of dampness in the air which was not very pleasant.
Shen Shuyi fell down on the edge of the bed, his eyes were blurred and his cheeks had an abnormal blush.
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
Xiao Tingshan walked in, and when he saw Shen Shuyi appear here as expected, a smile of satisfaction finally appeared in his eyes.
It has to be said that this extraordinary man in the hands of Princess Hanyang is truly amazing, as he was able to design such an exquisite formation.
Fortunately, this person was recruited by Princess Hanyang, and the relationship between Prince Duan and Prince Shun was also quite good.
Otherwise, they would not have the opportunity to set up their formation in Prince Shun’s Palace.
Look, no matter how wise and decisive Shen Shuyi is, no matter how powerful he is, he is still lured here by the formation.
He would not let her marry Xie Jingchi.
In the dream, she was his wife, and he wanted to correct all the mistakes. Shen Shuyi should make plans for him.
Xiao Tingshan walked into the room step by step until he stopped in front of Shen Shuyi, and said softly: "How are you?"
"Hot... so hot..." Shen Shuyi murmured seemingly unintentionally, but instinctively raised his eyes and looked at the person who came with caution.
The moment he saw Xiao Tingshan, Shen Shuyi was stunned: "It's you! You drugged me?"
"Yes, there is something wrong with the princess' cup of water. Although the water was prepared by the maid later, the tea set was already there."
Maybe it was because he finally won a game, Xiao Tingshan explained kindly.
Shen Shuyi said coldly: "Is the cup poisonous?"
Xiao Tingshan leaned over and gently tucked a strand of Shen Shuyi's hair behind her ear, smiling gently: "That's right, so even if we drank the same pot of water, the princess would still be unable to maintain her lucidity."
