Su Li looked at Wei Yuanyao and Qu Zhirou and said, "I'll be back shortly."
Wei Yuanyao said, "Cousin, I'll go with you."
Su Li shook her head and said, "No need." She didn't know who the other party was or what they intended. Mo Yun alone could protect her, but with an extra person, she wasn't sure what might happen, so it was better not to take the risk. Moreover, she had self-defense capabilities, which was why she decided to go and see what the other party intended.
Seeing Su Li refuse, the maid visibly relaxed. "Princess Changning, please follow this servant."
Su Li stood up and, taking her maids with her, followed the servant out of the main hall. As she walked, Su Li asked, "Are you a maid from the Ji Estate? Whose employ are you under? What's your name?"
The maid looked left and right, quickened her pace, and replied, "This servant is Ziqiao, a maid from the kitchen. Because there weren't enough hands today, I was temporarily called to serve in the front hall. Due to a moment of carelessness, I offended Princess Changning. I beg Princess Changning's forgiveness." Her answer was flawless. Su Li didn't bother asking further; she'd find out who was behind this soon enough.
Arriving outside a relatively secluded side room, the maid pushed open the door and said, "Princess Changning, please."
Su Li nodded, stepped into the room, and glanced at the incense burner in the corner. It seemed the person behind this didn't understand her very well; to use such a low-grade aphrodisiac incense was truly embarrassing.
"Princess Changning, please wait. This servant will stand guard outside."
After the person left, Su Li saw that she indeed remained outside the door, without any other movements. Seeing the two maids' faces flush slightly, Su Li quickly took out two Clear Heart Pills and handed them over.
Si Qin was startled, looking up and exclaiming, "Miss..."
Su Li shook her head and said, "Si Qin, go see why Zhi Shu is taking so long to bring the clothes. Mo Hua, you go wait outside the door."
The two maids, Si Qin and Mo Hua, clearly didn't want to leave. Su Li glanced at the beam and mouthed, "Don't worry, Mo Yun is here." Only then did Si Qin and Mo Hua leave the room.
Looking at the maid by the door, Si Qin said, "You two guard Miss; I'll go check on Zhi Shu."
The maid nodded. After all, the other party only said they wanted the noblewoman inside to be affected, not these maids. Looking into the room, the maid named Ziqiao had a hateful glint in her eyes. Her fingernails dug into her palms.
Sister, I can finally avenge you!
She took advantage of Mo Hua's inattention, pulled out a wooden stick from behind her back, knocked Mo Hua unconscious with a single blow, dragged her into the nearby bushes, and then hurried away.
All of this fell into the eyes of Su Li and Mo Yun inside the room. Mo Yun stood behind Su Li and said coldly, "Miss, should this subordinate apprehend this maid?"
Su Li curved her lips, "Let her go report back and draw out the person behind this first."
Before she even finished speaking, a figure appeared, but the maid was not with him.
Jun Hui? Was he the one behind this?
When Jun Hui saw Su Li leave, he used the excuse of being drunk to go outside for fresh air and quietly followed. He followed all the way and found that the maid had knocked out Su Li's maid. He figured someone was trying to harm Su Li, so he would appear just in time to be the hero. He approached and found no sound inside the room, so he directly pushed the door open.
He saw Su Li, dressed in red, slumped over the table, her face like a peach blossom, her breathing disordered, looking completely drunk.
Jun Hui was overjoyed. This is truly heaven helping me! If he could make the raw rice into cooked rice, both the beauty and the military power would be his! If anyone investigated, it wouldn't be his fault; he merely drunkenly stumbled into the room. Thinking this, he stared infatuatedly at the red-clad girl in front of the table. The more he looked, the more the fire in his heart burned, threatening to burst.
"Li'er, I will treat you well from now on." Saying this, he walked towards Su Li.
As he was about to reach Su Li, she suddenly opened her eyes and threw out a cloud of powder. Jun Hui abruptly retreated, holding his breath.
"Interesting, you were faking it," Jun Hui said with a laugh, his eyes determined to succeed.
Su Li gritted her teeth, her voice cold. "Sixth Prince, what are you doing?"
Jun Hui said gently, "Li'er, my heart for you is true, heaven and earth can bear witness."
A cold glint appeared in Su Li's eyes, and she scoffed, "Sixth Prince's favor is more than Su Li can bear. Besides, I am half your sister-in-law. Don't you fear the world's ridicule by doing this?"
Jun Hui slowly advanced, "Ridicule? This prince merely made a mistake while drunk. At worst, Father Emperor will punish me severely. To gain you, it's worth it!"
Su Li watched him warily, stepping closer. She didn't want to cause a death, but if this person forced her, she wouldn't care so much anymore.
"I warn you one more time, don't come any closer!"
Jun Hui laughed, "Li'er, I know you use poison, but this prince's Turtle Breath Technique happens to counter that. Don't struggle. I will treat you well in the future."
Mo Yun appeared, standing in front of Su Li, and quickly began to fight with Jun Hui.
Su Li frowned. Causing such a big commotion was very disadvantageous to her. Between killing Jun Hui and being discovered, Su Li was fiercely conflicted. Killing a prince, if not handled well, would bring disaster upon the Minister's Estate.
At this moment, a figure entered from outside the door and struck Jun Hui directly on the back of his head.
"Thud!"
Jun Hui fell to the ground before he could even turn to look at the newcomer.
Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, putting the medicine bottle back on her waist. Jun Mo stepped forward and pulled her into his embrace.
"Are you alright?"
Su Li shook her head and said, "I'm fine." She had just almost killed a prince.
Jun Mo looked at the person on the ground, frowning.
Su Li was about to speak when Jun Mo covered her mouth and looked outside the door. Su Li also heard footsteps and held her breath, looking towards the door.
"Young Master, please go in quickly." This was Su Yue's voice.
Zhao Huaian nervously rubbed his hands, "Rong'er, you truly are something. When we get back, this young master will reward you handsomely."
Then came the sound of the door being pushed open.
"Ugh!"
"You!"
"Thud!" "Thud!" "Thud!"
Consecutive sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground rang out. Mo Yun clapped her hands and said, "Miss, it's handled."
Su Li walked out and looked at the three people on the ground. It seemed the people behind this were Su Yue and Zhao Huaian. Jun Hui had merely exploited the opportunity.
Jun Mo said coldly, "Strip their clothes and throw them all onto the bed!"
Mo Yun looked at Su Li, and Su Li nodded. To treat others as they have treated me. Mo Yun, holding one person in each hand, quickly lifted them onto the bed.
"Miss, Sixth Prince..."
"Put him up too."
Mo Yun didn't hesitate, lifting Jun Hui and tossing him onto the bed.
Su Li took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Mo Yun. "Feed them these, then wake them up."
Let them see what a true aphrodisiac is.
After feeding them the medicine, Mo Yun drew her sword and aimed it at their clothes.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Fabric pieces flew everywhere.
Jun Mo reached out and covered Su Li's eyes, saying, "Let's go."
As they exited the room, they saw Si Qin approaching with Zhi Shu. Su Li went into a nearby room to change her clothes. When she came out, Mo Hua was rubbing her neck.
"Miss, that maid's hand was really heavy!"
Su Li smiled, "She'll get her comeuppance. Let's go." Inside the room, sounds could already be heard. The four must be waking up soon. They shouldn't let these maids' ears be defiled.
The group walked towards the banquet hall. The show was about to begin.
