NovelEnglishChapter 8 - Four Years Ago (3)
Li Rui had just taken a few sips from her drink. Maybe it was her intuition that told her that there was something wrong with the drink so she set down that cup back on the table. Alas! The drug mixed in the drink was a very strong one. That's why today her somewhat late intuition would be of no benefit.
So after a few minutes, she started to feel very hot. She was sweating. Li Rui didn't know what drug it was from the symptoms. Actually, she could not tell even now that she was drugged. How could a girl who had not stepped out of Li Mansion for seven years know about Aphrodisiacs?
Standing up from her seat she told her maids that she is going outside for a few minutes in cold air. She didn't take them with herself. Princess Wenling was here today and if she tried to do something to them like last time she would not be able to do anything. Who would listen to her here? No one. They would be safe here instead of being with her outside. ????????????r????????????. ????o????
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt has already been almost ten minutes since she had drunk a drugged drink. The heat was now rising. With fast steps, she walked outside the banquet.
Li Caihong and Li Na looked at her back with a smirk.
'Elder Sister, Hope you will enjoy your night.'
She walked out of the banquet on a balcony to get some cold air. It has only been two minutes and her body started to feel very week. Panting heavily, Li Rui sat on the floor. At this moment, she knew that there was something wrong with her.
Was it poison?
Before she could sort out her thoughts, a man from her behind covered her mouth and dragged her away from the balcony. No one was present in this area so without being noticed he took her inside a room. The man was the same guard who had told Li Na and Li Caihong to take their seat at the banquet.
Li Rui's heart was beating very fast at this time. With her whole body drenched in sweat, she tried to come out of his grip. Finally, after they were in the room, he left her to lock the door. At this moment, sitting on the floor of the room in a messy condition Li Rui looked at the man in front of her. His face was decent. He was wearing a royal guard's uniform. But she was sure she didn't know him.
A Royal guard.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWas it Princess Wenling who planned all this? Li Rui's body went cold.
On the other hand, the man in guard uniform finally took a look at the elder daughter of Li. He was awestruck by her beauty. He thought it was not a bad deal. With the money, he would be getting a beauty to enjoy as well. His eyes shined with lust.
How could Li Rui not notice this? Horrified by this, she frantically looked around the room to see something with which she can save herself. Even though the man took slow steps towards her, he was in front of her in four steps.
Bending down he was about to pick up in his embrace when he was struck in his chest.
With no way left, Li Rui pulled out the jade stick from her hair and struck in his chest with all her energy. Wide-eyed, the man looked at the woman in front of her whose eyes were cold enough to send a chill down his spine. Within a few seconds, he lied dead on the floor.
She stood up from the floor and came out of the room. Going inside in this condition was not an option. Her body was still feeling very weak. Stumbling she went to another room and lied on the bed. After so much time and so many moves, her body was left with no strength. Her face was flushed red. Not knowing what was happening to her body she tried to reach for the glass of water. But because of her trembling hands, the water fell on her clothes. Her clothes were clinging to her pale white skin. Her hairs were sticking to her forehead and temple because of sweat. Even In this messy condition, she looked very seductive and beautiful.
This was the condition of Li Rui when Xi Ying found her in this room and met her for the first time.
