Chapter 239 Nosy
Someone who had just changed clothes in the hall passed by the two of them. There was no suspicious smell of incense on his body, nor in the room.
Now that they are gone, only the two Lin sisters are left in the room.
Lin Weilan carefully checked the atmosphere in the room and found that there was no one inside who had been arranged in advance.
When I just came in, there was a row of soldiers guarding outside the hall, so it was unlikely that a thief would come in from outside.
After all, everyone knows that changing clothes after splashing water is an accident-prone thing, so now families are extra careful when holding banquets.
The safety factor in the women's changing area is very high and there have been no problems for many years.
While Lin Weilan was lost in thought, Lin Min'er had already gone to change her clothes, and her thin outer shirt had fallen to the ground.
Lin Weilan turned around and saw the gauze dress on the ground. Her brows slightly frowned. Was she really overthinking?
Lin Min'er changed her clothes very quickly, without any dragging her feet. However, women's clothes were complicated, and it still took time to put them all in order.
Because this was a place for women to change clothes, the doors and windows of the room were tightly closed. Lin Weilan, who was already a little dizzy after drinking, felt even more suffocated.
She went to sit down in front of the dressing table in the room. Her mind gradually went blank. She looked up and saw herself in the bronze mirror, which was becoming increasingly blurry.
She shook her head and stared at the bronze mirror.
However, the more she tried to see herself clearly in the bronze mirror, the blurrier it became, until a cloud-like mass appeared in the mirror.
Lin Min'er's voice came floating, "Sister, why did you have to follow me?
Everything that happened tonight could have been avoided, if you didn't care about the Lin family's reputation and pretended not to see anything.
But you just can't let go, so I guess, after what happened, you would marry him obediently for the sake of the Lin family's reputation."
Lin Min'er's voice was trembling with sorrow.
The thought of letting Lin Weilan marry him made her heart break. Not only Lin Weilan, but any woman getting close to him was something she could not tolerate.
However, if it is what he wants and it is helpful to him, then she will do her best to fulfill it.
Lin Weilan had already realized something was wrong, but as she had practiced martial arts for many years, she had not yet lost her mind. It was just that her body was gradually going limp.
She placed one hand on the dressing table and dug her nails into her palm, hoping to sober herself up. "Lin Min'er, what good will this do you? If anything happens to me, you won't be able to escape responsibility."
Lin Min'er looked at Lin Weilan leisurely and slowly squatted down.
"Sister, aren't you curious about when you were poisoned?" Lin Min'er gently pried open Lin Weilan's hand, and her palm was already blurry.
She took out a handkerchief from her bosom, carefully pressed Lin Weilan's wound, and answered herself, "There are people coming and going in this room, so there is naturally no poison. You have always been cautious about what you take, so there is no poison either. So, I put the poison on myself, when the tea was spilled on me."
“And the palace maid and I both took the antidote in advance.
Today was originally a gambling game. If you hadn't come along, nothing would have happened tonight.
But sister, I know you too well. You are worried about me and afraid that I will tarnish the Lin family’s century-old reputation, so you will definitely follow me.
Hehe, but now, it is your sister who is going to tarnish the reputation of the Lin family. I don’t know if my father will still be proud of you when he finds out.”
After Lin Min'er finished speaking, as if she was finally relieved, she held the blood-stained handkerchief in her palm and was about to let go of Lin Weilan's hand, but was suddenly held tightly by the other party.
Her gaze moved from her wrist to Lin Weilan's face. The eldest daughter of the Lin family, who had always been cold and reserved, now had blurred eyes and a pair of red lips that were even more charming and tempting.
The blood hung on the beauty's lips, and her eyes that were sometimes clear and sometimes blurry made Lin Weilan even more charming at this moment.
Lin Min'er hesitated for a moment. Would he not be tempted by her entering the mansion? Could he really just put her aside after using her?
Suddenly, there was a slight noise near the window, and then two guards opened the window and jumped in. "Miss Lin, if you have anything to say, let's talk later. The master is almost here."
The two men lifted Lin Weilan up swiftly. They thought the young lady would struggle, but she was surprisingly quiet.
He sneered inwardly and looked at Qinggao, thinking that maybe he was waiting too.
The two looked at each other, then quickly climbed through the window and disappeared into the night.
At the same time, Lin Min'er pushed open the door and walked out. The little palace maid at the door saw that only one person came out and wanted to look inside.
Lin Min'er said calmly, "My eldest sister doesn't like outsiders around when she's changing clothes, you and I can wait a little longer."
"Yes." The little palace maid replied in a low voice, and then stood quietly aside.
The guards who heard the conversation between the two did not suspect anything. Almost every family of noble ladies in the capital had its own rules and customs.
No one noticed that a faint smile appeared at the corner of the little palace maid's mouth.
……
Lin Weilan was carried by the guards, hiding from the guards patrolling the palace as she moved forward.
Gradually, we will leave the Imperial Garden and come to an unknown palace.
The guards thought that tonight's events were about to end, and that it would be time for their master to enjoy himself and for them to go down and receive their rewards.
The woman who had been quiet on the back suddenly jumped up at this moment, put her hands on the guard's neck, hooked and twisted it, and changed her position. At the moment the guard was stunned, she kicked her feet and used the force to reach an open space ten feet away.
The guard showed a look of surprise on his face, and asked in shock: "You can actually move?"
The two men reacted quickly and immediately pounced on Lin Weilan from the left and right.
Seeing that candles had been lit in His Highness's palace, they knew what the candles in the palace meant. If they did not send this person in tonight, the consequences would be disastrous.
Lin Weilan's mind was slightly wandering, but she kept biting the tip of her tongue to prevent herself from fainting.
He had been patient until now and only showed his anger because he wanted to find out who was behind Lin Min'er.
However, as a woman, she was not familiar with the route to the palace. Now she could only conclude that the place she was going to was where the princes lived.
As for the rest, we can only wait and figure it out later.
She didn't intend to fight to the end. Fortunately, no one knew her true skills. After swaying left and right, Lin Weilan finally found a breakthrough.
Suddenly, a small sharp sound of breaking through the air came from behind her. The reason she heard it was because the sound was already in front of her.
Lin Weilan widened her eyes in disbelief. In the palace, were they really so reckless?
A silver needle suddenly entered the body, and the person who was about to leave in mid-air fell down, and then landed in an embrace with a woody fragrance.
Li Jiaojiao looked at the woman in her arms and the people coming from all directions, and cursed herself inwardly for meddling in other people's business.
