Chapter 214 Poisoning
He must not let this little thief leave the brothel alive!
"Yes!" Noticing that King Dingyuan's expression and tone were not right, the guards became tense, fearing that King Dingyuan would vent his anger on them.
Seeing more and more people gathering around, An Qingqian picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the pool opposite. An extremely crisp sound instantly came from there.
The noise successfully attracted the attention of the people who were searching nearby.
"Come quickly, there's some noise here." A man heard the sound and shouted immediately.
When the others heard the man's cry, they immediately surrounded the area.
Everyone held torches and carefully approached the dead wood in front of them.
When I looked over there, I found nothing.
An Qingqian took advantage of this opportunity and flew away in the opposite direction.
The next second after she left, her location was searched by the second team, but they didn't find anything.
"Huh? Did you hear wrongly? There's nothing here!"
The other person found nothing and questioned the person who had spoken just now.
"That's not right. I clearly heard a subtle sound just now, and it came from this side." The man couldn't believe it and raised the torch again to check, but still found nothing.
Even the water in the pool was as calm as a bronze mirror, without the slightest ripple.
"I think you must have heard it wrong. There's obviously nothing here."
When a few people didn't notice anything, they all left with torches in hand.
The man stayed behind, confusion flashed across his face, and he whispered, "Did I really hear it wrong? It can't be that serious, right?"
Prince Dingyuan's guards searched the entire courtyard carefully but found nothing.
An Qingqian quickly left the inn, hid in a small alley outside, and let out a long sigh.
She was about to leave when she suddenly felt a tingling sensation in the fingertips of her right hand.
I raised my hand and found that the tips of all five fingers had turned black and blue.
An Qingqian was shocked. She originally thought that King Dingyuan had only painted it with some dye to prevent others from looking at it, but it seemed that she was too careless.
This is not a dye at all, but a poison.
Because she was highly focused just now, she didn't notice this.
Now that I have recovered, I realize that my fingertips are in excruciating pain.
An Qingqian did not dare to hesitate. She took a dagger from her arm, cut a cut on each of her five fingertips, and then used her internal force to force the poison out.
As the black blood flowed out, the pain lessened a little, but it was still very uncomfortable.
Watching the blood turn bright red, An Qingqian put away the dagger and turned to walk towards Prince Cheng's mansion.
She was not sure whether she was being targeted, so she did not dare to go back to the general's mansion directly. She could only go to other places first.
Not long after An Qingqian left, the place where she had just treated the wound was discovered by someone.
A ghostly figure appeared there, and he quickly caught the faint smell of blood in the air. He squatted down and saw a few drops of blood on the ground.
He stood up and looked around, soon noticing a figure and quickly chased after it.
At first An Qingqian didn't notice anything. Just when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly sensed a different breath behind her.
An Qingqian just arrived at the gate of Prince Cheng's mansion at this time.
Without any delay, she turned over and jumped into Prince Cheng's palace.
The people who were following him were stunned when they saw that the man in black actually went to Prince Cheng’s Mansion. Then they felt a little strange. Why did this little thief come to Prince Cheng’s Mansion? Is he Prince Cheng’s man?
An Qingqian walked around Prince Cheng's Mansion, then climbed over the high wall. Then, instead of going directly back to the General's Mansion, she went to Prince Yong's Mansion.
Now that she has discovered that someone is following her, she will of course be more cautious.
The man followed An Qingqian from a distance, and when he saw her coming out of Prince Cheng's mansion, his doubts were somewhat alleviated.
It seems that this person is careful and deliberately went to Prince Cheng's mansion, wanting someone to bring today's events to Prince Cheng.
However, he soon saw that the figure was heading in another direction.
This time, he was very careful and just followed from a distance, not daring to get close.
An Qingqian also pretended not to notice the person behind her. Standing outside a high wall on the west side of Prince Yong's Mansion, she stopped and looked around, as if she didn't notice anything unusual.
Then he took help of a big tree next to him and leaped inside.
The person who was following him quickly caught up. He wanted to see whether this little thief was still deceiving him this time, or whether he was really from the Prince Yong's Mansion.
So, he followed An Qingqian and turned left and right in Prince Yong's Mansion. Then, he saw with his own eyes the black shadow swaggering into Prince Yong's courtyard and then into the study.
The person who was following was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly turned back to Prince Dingyuan's residence and reported the situation to Prince Dingyuan.
"What? You said that the little thief went to Prince Yong's study?" Prince Dingyuan looked at the secret guard beside him in disbelief.
This secret guard was the one who had just followed An Qingqian. He was the top expert around King Dingyuan and his name was Wu Tai.
His martial arts skills are comparable to those of King Dingyuan, and his concealment skills are even more powerful. He is also one of King Dingyuan's most trusted people.
He noticed something was wrong just now, so he immediately sent Wu Tai to check the situation.
"That's right. I originally wanted to get rid of this man, but I saw that his whereabouts were mysterious and he ended up going to Prince Yong's Mansion, so I didn't dare to do it."
Wu Tai nodded. He also felt strange. What were Prince Yong’s men doing here?
Prince Dingyuan put his hands behind his back, frowned, and paced in the study room. "Not good, not good, Wu Tai, you must return to Prince Yong's Mansion immediately, find this person, and get rid of him!"
Since that person has seen the letter, he must not be allowed to stay. No matter who he belongs to, he must die today.
"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."
However, now that he had left, how could he kill An Qingqian again?
An Qingqian originally didn't dare to enter Prince Yong's study like this, but after coming out of Prince Cheng's mansion, she met Su Gui who came there.
She didn't know how Su Gui could recognize her even though she was dressed so thickly.
However, Su Gui said that Prince Yong was not in the mansion at the moment, so they could go there to hide.
This is why An Qingqian would do such a thing.
After leaving Prince Yong's Mansion, An Qingqian made sure that no one was following him, and then returned to the General's Mansion.
After returning to his place, An Qingqian's tense spirit relaxed.
She changed her clothes and checked her fingers again.
Although she had just used her internal energy to force out the poisonous blood, the stinging sensation was still very clear.
There was a dark spot on the tip of each finger, and it seemed that the poison had not been completely eliminated and there was still some residual poison.
