Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child

237 Injured

A guard following behind Lu Shiliu asked softly.

“Boss, are we going to do it now?”

Lu Shiliu looked at the three siblings not far away and thought for a moment before speaking.

“Let’s follow and take a look. We’ll do it in the night.”

Arresting someone for no reason was unjustifiable no matter what. This matter had to be handled in a low-key manner. The fewer people knew, the better.

Yu Niaoniao, Dang Gui, and Lo Pingsha originally wanted to go to Prince Min’s Mansion.

But on the way Lo Pingsha noticed that they were being followed, so he changed direction at the last minute and stopped the carriage in front of an inn.

The inn clerk welcomed them warmly.

During dinner, Lo Pingsha first checked the food and tea to make sure it was okay before letting them eat.

He whispered instructions.

“As soon as we entered the city today, we were targeted. The other party has ill intentions. We have to be more vigilant tonight. Don’t fall into their trap.”

Yu Niaoniao and Dang Gui remembered.

After eating and drinking their fill, they returned to their rooms to rest.

The truth was as they had expected.

In the dead of night, their door was knocked on from the outside.

Someone sneaked into the room, walked silently to the bed, and covered Yu Niaoniao’s mouth and nose with a handkerchief stained with knockout powder.

At the critical moment, Yu Niaoniao suddenly opened her eyes!

She threw the blanket at the man and covered his face.

When he hurriedly pulled off the blanket, the cold blade was already against his neck.

Yu Niaoniao said, “Don’t move.”

The man immediately froze in place, not daring to move.

Yu Niaoniao pulled off the mask on the other party’s face and looked at him under the moonlight outside the window. She realized that he looked familiar.

Then, she remembered that when the guards of the County Governor’s Mansion went to fetch Lu Yao home, she had seen this person among the guards.

This person had an ordinary appearance. Back then, he stood among so many guards. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not remember him.

But Yu Niaoniao was different. She had a photographic memory. She could remember from even a glance.

“You’re from the County Governor’s Mansion!”

The person did not expect Yu Niaoniao to still remember him. He was first shocked, then pretended to be calm.

“Since you know who I am, come with us obediently.”

Yu Niaoniao asked, “Where are we going with you?”

“Of course, it’s the County Governor’s Mansion. Our madam wants to see you.”

Yu Niaoniao’s mind raced and she quickly understood the reason.

Presumably, the county governor’s wife knew about Lu Yao and Dang Gui and wanted to see what kind of person Dang Gui was.

This was actually nothing. If it were Yu Niaoniao, she would also be interested in the woman her son liked.

But she wouldn’t send someone to sneak up on someone in the middle of the night.

Not only was this method inappropriate, but it was also filled with malice!

Before they met, Yu Niaoniao was already unhappy with the county governor’s wife.

She said coldly, “Since the county governor’s wife wants to see us, why didn’t she send someone to invite us over openly? Is this how the county governor’s residence treats guests?”

The man stammered, unable to answer.

At that moment, there was a loud bang in the next room, followed by Dang Gui’s scream!

Yu Niaoniao’s heart tightened. Something had happened to Dang Gui!

While she was distracted, the guard suddenly turned around and retreated, pulling away from her. Then, he took out the sword at his waist and stabbed it at Yu Niaoniao!

Although Yu Niaoniao knew archery, she had never practiced martial arts. She couldn’t fight back. She could only dodge to the side.

Fortunately, she was ready before bed. She placed a bowl on the table. It was filled with powder.

It was a secret powder made by Lo Pingsha. As long as a person touched it, their skin would itch unbearably.

She grabbed the bowl and raised it at the guard.

“Check out my knockout powder!”

The guard quickly retreated and covered his mouth and nose to avoid inhaling the knockout powder.

However, to his surprise, as soon as the powder touched the back of his hand, he immediately felt an intense itch. The itch affected hiis face and neck… wherever his skin touched the powder itched.

He could not stand the itch and scratched hard, looking extremely pained.

Yu Niaoniao took the opportunity to grab a stool and smash it against his head!

He only had time to grunt before he staggered and collapsed.

Yu Niaoniao threw away the stool.

She pulled open the door and hurried to the next room.

As soon as he entered, he saw Lo Pingsha fighting Lu Shiliu. The two of them exchanged blows and were locked in battle.

...

Dang Gui fell to the ground and did not move.

Yu Niaoniao ran over quickly and helped Dang Gui up.

She was shocked to see so much blood on her hands! Yu Niaoniao’s expression immediately changed.

She pulled back Dang Gui’s hair and found a large wound on the back of her head. Blood was seeping out. Yu Niaoniao was anxious.

However, she did not know medicine and could only cover Dang Gui’s wound with a handkerchief.

“Dang Gui, wake up. Don’t sleep.”

Dang Gui’s eyes were closed, and her face was as pale as paper. She did not react at all, and her breathing was getting weaker.

Yu Niaoniao was so anxious that she was about to cry. “Little Lo, save Dang Gui. She’s dying!”

Hearing this, Lo Pingsha raised his hand and flicked it. Three silver needles flew silently from his fingertips.

It was too dark to see the silver needles clearly.

Lu Shiliu dodged the first two silver needles, but not the last one.

...

The silver needle pierced his arm and he immediately felt his entire arm go numb. He couldn’t even hold his sword.

Immediately after, he was sent flying by Lo Pingsha’s palm and fell to the ground, vomiting blood.

Lo Pingsha picked up the medical kit, strode over to Dang Gui, and began to administer first aid.

They could not stay here any longer. If the people sent by the county governor’s wife did not capture the three of them, they would definitely send more people over.

Yu Niaoniao quickly packed her luggage.

She noticed that Lu Shiliu was moving out. It seemed that he was planning to escape.

She thought of how this person had caused Dang Gui to be seriously injured and was furious. She grabbed the teapot and threw it at his head!

The teapot was smashed.

Lu Shiliu was dizzy and fainted after a while.

Lo Pingsha looked up and spoke to Yu Niaoniao.

“The bleeding has been stopped, but Dang Gui hasn’t woken up yet.”

Yu Niaoniao made a prompt decision. “We have to get out of here immediately.”

Lo Pingsha asked her where she was going.

It was midnight and the city gates were closed. They definitely could not get out, but if they stayed in the city, the county governor’s wife would definitely not let them off.

Yu Niaoniao said, “Prince Min’s Mansion.”

Now, in Xingning City, only Prince Min’s Mansion could stand up to the County Governor’s Mansion.

The three of them checked out of the room overnight and drove the carriage to Prince Min’s Mansion.
