Chapter 591 Imprisoned

ly return to his true self.“Thank you, Night Brother!” Xiao Yuge smiled and shook the Qianji Ling in her hand. She took a step forward and happily hugged him. Although she had approached him with a pu...Thousand Thoughts came here with a try-it attitude. Originally, he wanted to get the divine tea as an ordinary person. Now that his identity has been exposed, he can only openly state his purpose. If it is truly as rumored, if the Wen family refuses to give him the medicine, then he does not mind using his status as a prince to pressure them.

"Your Highness, please don't worry, the divine tea will be presented with both hands tomorrow morning!" Wen Shiyun hazed her waist, looking very respectful.

He who had been silent all this while, the crane, suddenly spoke: "There is a rumor that the Wen family's divine tea is not given to the royalty or government officials. Could it be that the rumors are false"

"Not at all!" Wen Shiyun's expression changed slightly, then she explained: "Previously, someone impersonated the royal family and officials to pressure my Wen family into handing over the formula. Fortunately, with the help of friends in the Jianghu, we cleared up the matter. Therefore, our ancestors had no choice but to make this rule. Now that His Royal Highness is here in person, a commoner should naturally offer it with both hands."

"I see." He stopped asking questions.

Wen Shiyun's words clearly implied that he had connections in the Jianghu, and powerful ones at that. It seemed like a veiled warning to stay out of their affairs and leave with the divine tea after obtaining it.

At this moment, General Lu rushed in and whispered something to Wen Shiyun's side.

When Wen Shiyun finished speaking, she respectfully bowed to Qian Sichin: "Your Highness, the commoner has prepared wine and food. Please join me and a few distinguished guests in the side hall. The commoner would be honored to show their hospitality."

"Well then, it's been a pleasure! Lord City Master, please!" Qian Sichen didn't refuse, he stood up with his hands behind his back.

"Your Highness, please!"

In the side hall, a feast of delicacies had already been prepared. As everyone took their seats, Lu the steward gently clapped his hands. Instantly, several beautiful women emerged from inside, gracefully stepping out with alluring figures and captivating beauty.

Thousand Thoughts suddenly slammed the table in front of him, a touch of anger coloring his handsome face: "Lord Mayor Wen, what do you mean by this" His beloved woman was right here, and he was showing her these... Was he trying to provoke him

He clapped his hands, startling the little beauties. They all fell to their knees, trembling, not even daring to breathe.

"Your Highness, please calm down!" Wen Shiyun didn't expect her flattery to fall flat this time, and she was frightened, so she hurriedly knelt down.

Qian Si's anger did not diminish, she coldly snorted: "Do you think this palace is like those extravagant and licentious people"

"Your Highness, please calm your anger! This commoner only wants to make the long night shorter and the white wine more flavorful. So, I just wanted to add some excitement to your drinking." Wen Shiyun was now so frightened that her forehead and palms were sweating. She signaled to Lu Guan, who stood beside her, to immediately take the person away.

Thousand Thoughts glanced at him: "This palace came here only for the divine tea. As for the rest of those things, Lord Wen still might as well enjoy them himself. You needn't accompany me here. Go and supervise the operation of the divine tea, this palace will leave once I get my hands on it."

"Yes! This lowly citizen shall go and urge them to hurry!" Wen Shiyun wiped a bead of sweat secretly, then dashed out.

Seeing him leave, Qian Si Chen was still flustered and picked up the tea on the table, drinking it all in one gulp. He Crane wanted to stop her, but it was too late. He exchanged a look with Xiao Yu Ge beside him, then pretended to drink the tea in front of him.

However, after leaving, Wen Shiyun immediately changed her humble demeanor from before. She coldly glanced in the direction of the side hall and ordered Lu, the head steward, in a low voice, "Have someone keep an eye on them. If they make any unusual movements, act immediately!" She always felt that the prince's visit was not pure-hearted and had to be guarded against.

"Rest assured, Lord Mayor. Everything is under control." Lu the steward was full of confidence. He had seen with his own eyes them drink down all that tea.

Wen Shiyun walked two steps, then suddenly thought of something: "Send a flying pigeon to the capital immediately to check the background of this person named Xiao Yu!"

"Yes! This little one will go and do it at once!" Steward Lu took the order and hurried away.

At this time, a house servant came to report: “Lord Mayor, we just caught a young woman trying to sneak into the inner courtyard. She claims to be the eldest daughter of a prominent minister’s household from the capital city!”

"What The only daughter of the esteemed Xiangfu family in the capital" Wen Shiyun patted her forehead: "It's the capital again!" Who did the Wen family offend this year

"Master, what about over there" the house servant whispered.

"Serve her well, and fulfill all her requests. Don't let her walk around!" Wen Shiyun felt a headache coming on. In the past, there had been officials' sons who came to request tea, but why would the Crown Prince come this year Why hadn't there been any news from the capital What on earth was going on

"Yes!"

It's said that Xiao Yu Ge and his companions were enjoying wine and food in a side hall. As they ate, everyone suddenly felt their eyelids becoming heavy. Thousand Thoughts, sensing something was amiss, tried to stand up, but fell back down immediately. Soon, all of them lay motionless on the table.

In a little while, the steward, Lu, tiptoed in and made a symbolic call: "Prince! Prince!" Seeing that everyone was unresponsive, he beckoned with his hand. Immediately, several house servants entered from outside.

"Take them to the cave in the mountains! Make sure you keep a close eye on them. If they escape, you will all be killed!" Lord Lu ordered coldly.

"Yes!"

Then someone carried Xiao Yuge away.

The Crane cried out in fear, his song choked by the murmur of Xiao Yu. He secretly whispered to his apprentice: "Little sister, hold back for now. Let's wait and see if an opportunity arises!"

Soon, they were carried to the back mountain. One of them lightly pressed against a tree, and suddenly a cave appeared on the stone wall. The man gestured with his hand, signaling for them to carry the person inside.

"This person looks so small, how come they're so heavy" The two who carried Shao Yuge put her down, wiping sweat from their brows while complaining.

"Goodness, I didn't get a good look earlier. This young master is truly handsome!" One of them leaned towards Xiao Yuge's face, reaching out to touch her cheek, but was stopped by his companion.

"Don't move! The City Lord has ordered us not to harm them, especially this young master!"

"Alright, you four stay here and watch them, the rest of you follow me!"

“Yes!” Soon, those people left the place, leaving only four servants behind to guard. In their view, Xiao Yu Ge had been drugged and wouldn't wake up for a day or two. With this time, the city lord should be able to come up with a solution.

"Hey guys, we've got nothing better to do anyway, how about a few rounds" One of the remaining four yawned and suggested.

"The head steward had instructed to keep a careful watch over them, not to be careless," another reminder.

"They're all lying down, can't they still run"

Thus, persuaded by him, the four still decided to sit at the mouth of the cave and play, but the moment they sat down, He Crane's cry and Xiao Yu Ge almost simultaneously leaped up from the ground. They didn't even realize it before they were knocked to the ground.wn even my own kin!”When Qian Tingxuan finished speaking, his feet suddenly trembled, and a powerful pressure enveloped the area instantly. Everyone present felt their breathing become difficult, incl...
