In fact, Xia Luotong already had some guesses about the person behind the scenes, but the details could not be confirmed until Lindong investigated.
Now that he had concluded that the person behind it was up to no good, Xia Luotong naturally would not go in again, and went back after greeting Lindong.
However, when passing a certain corner, she saw a familiar figure flashing past at the end of a path outside the corridor.
Ayan?
Xia Luotong frowned, feeling a little confused.
She would not mistake Wu Fengyan's figure, but why did Wu Fengyan appear there?
The path looked very secluded, not like a place where ordinary guests would go, and the figure Wu Fengyan walked by just now seemed to be a little inappropriate, as if his steps were unsteady.
Xia Luotong felt a little uneasy. He turned to look at Lindong beside him, and saw that the latter was also frowning: "Did you just see that?"
Lindong nodded and said solemnly: "This servant also saw His Highness King Qi, and..."
Lindong raised his hand and pointed at a rockery at the corner of the trail and said, "There are some blood stains on that rockery!"
Xia Luotong was startled and quickly turned around to look. Although he couldn't see clearly due to the distance, he could still see that the color of the corner of the rockery was not quite right.
Her heart suddenly rose, thinking that ever since Wu Fengyan appeared in front of the world, the dangers around him have never stopped.
Especially during the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, it was really dangerous for Wu Fengyan to be assassinated like that while he was in the capital. At this time, he was on the prince's territory, so Wu Fengyan was even more dangerous.
Lindong knew that his princess regarded King Qi as her own brother, and now her face was filled with worry, so she took the initiative to ask: "Princess, do you want me to come over and take a look?"
"Let's go and take a look together." Xia Luotong thought for a while and then said.
Lindong wanted to refuse, but he looked back and forth in the corridor and found that there was no one here. He frowned and thought about it before nodding in agreement.
Rather than letting Xia Luotong stay alone, he might as well stay with him, at least he could be nearby for protection.
Lindong escorted Xia Luotong all the way to the end of the trail. Sure enough, he saw some blood stains on the rockery on the side of the road, as if someone had rubbed it on when passing by.
Thinking of Wu Fengyan's back when he disappeared just now, Xia Luotong suddenly became worried: "Lindong, let's go over and take a look!"
The path continued forward, winding and twisting, and under the cover of trees on both sides, it was difficult to see what was going on in the depths.
Seeing this situation, Lindong felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but advise: "Princess, why don't I send you back to the banquet hall first, and then come back to look for you?"
"That would waste too much time. What if something happens to A Yan at this moment? Looking at the blood stains that are still fresh, it is probably left by A Yan." Xia Luotong refused and raised his foot to go. Go forward.
Lindong saw that Xia Luotong insisted on doing this, so he could only follow him, carefully guarding Xia Luotong's side, and vigilantly paying attention to the movements around him.
Not far away, Lindong really noticed something strange. She quickly grabbed Xia Luotong beside her and looked sharply at the corner ahead.
There is someone behind the corner! And there’s more than one person!
Judging from the sense of crisis that lingers in my heart, I'm afraid the other party is coming with bad intentions!
However, just when Lindong was about to take Xia Luotong back, he discovered that there was some noise coming from the end of the trail behind him!
Her heart tightened, she was surrounded!
Judging from the movement, there should be two or three people coming from behind, forming an encirclement from the front and rear!
There are about five or six people. If the other party is of average strength, then he can still protect the princess and leave.
Just when Lindong was secretly planning and getting into an attacking stance, Xia Luotong beside her suddenly pulled her.
Lindong turned around and saw Xia Luotong shaking his head at him, and at the same time handed him a pill, indicating that he should take it in his mouth.
She took the pill, but hesitated for a moment, not because she was worried about the pill, but because she was worried about what Xia Luotong wanted to do next.
She knew that Xia Luotong wanted to find Wu Fengyan through this group of people...
Wu Fengyan disappeared on this road, and this group of people also intercepted them on this road, so this group of people is indeed very likely to know the whereabouts of Wu Fengyan, and even Wu Fengyan's injury may have something to do with them.
Thinking that the situation of this group of people was unknown and Xia Luotong was pregnant, Lindong gritted his teeth and decided to follow the instructions and wait and see what would happen.
As soon as the pill is taken into the mouth, a refreshing feeling goes straight through the sky, and the whole person becomes a little clearer.
Lindong knew that this pill could prevent drug intoxication and some simple toxicity. She had a bottle with her that Xia Luotong had prepared for her.
Putting the pill under her tongue and pressing it, she took the first step and led Xia Luotong towards the corner ahead. The people behind her had not yet caught up with her, so walking in front could better prevent emergencies.
Sure enough, as soon as Lindong appeared, he saw gray powder coming from the sky——
It's Mongolian sweat medicine!
It was just as the princess expected! It seems that the princess has thought of it a long time ago, otherwise she would not have allowed herself to hold the pill in advance!
Lindong's mind was racing, thinking of Xia Luotong's plan, she resisted the movement of counterattack, and turned her arm, turning into a subconscious shielding movement that ordinary people would have.
At the same time, she deliberately turned her head and whispered to Xia Luotong behind her: "Princess! Be careful..."
Before she finished speaking, Lindong fell softly. Before closing her eyes, she saw Xia Luotong who was also falling to the ground, and her eyes met with Xia Luotong's, and they completed a brief exchange. .
After seeing the hint in Xia Luotong's eyes clearly, Lindong felt a little relieved. Thinking of the marks she left on the pillars before leaving the corridor, and the marks she left along the way, she knew that as long as she held on Stay there for a while to protect Xia Luotong, and the hidden stakes underneath will soon be found.
Xia Luotong lay quietly on the ground, with his eyes closed tightly while other perceptions were maximized.
After a while, rustling footsteps were heard, and a moment later, there were several more footsteps approaching. Adding up, there should be four people.
Not much, but I don't know if Lindong can handle it alone. She won't expose her poisonous skills unless absolutely necessary, especially in the East Palace.
Xia Luotong did not act immediately, but continued to wait. She wanted to see if these people had anything to do with Wu Fengyan.
"Have you all fainted?"
A high-pitched voice sounded. It was obviously the voice of a young eunuch.
"Yes, we bumped into each other and passed out together. It didn't take much at all. If I had known this, I wouldn't have wasted so much effort." A slightly deep male voice sounded next, showing a little impatience.
