Chapter 615 The stabber in the back
"What did you do!"
Ye Yu scolded, but soon realized the gazes of the people around her, suppressed her anger, and said as gently as possible: "Forget it, no one is perfect, be more careful next time."
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Miss." The maid thanked with a trembling voice.
Although Ye Yu was dissatisfied in her heart, she tried to maintain an elegant and generous image in public, not wanting to give people the impression of being narrow-minded.
Ye Yu tried to clean the wine stain on her skirt with a handkerchief, but the stain was stubborn.
Seeing this, a maid quietly suggested, "Miss, do you have spare clothes? Let me accompany you to change."
"Yeah, okay." Ye Yu responded.
Usually when attending a banquet, she would prepare a set of change of clothes in case of any emergency.
So, accompanied by the palace maid, Ye Yu left the banquet and went to change her clothes.
In another corner, Shen Siyan was pretending to be drunk, his steps unsteady, and was supported by a palace maid.
He looked drowsy on the surface, but in fact he was very sober and had already noticed something unusual in the alcohol.
In order to find out the mastermind behind the incident, he pretended to be drunk and allowed the palace maid to take him to a room and settle him down.
"Your Majesty, please lie down and rest first. I will go get the hangover soup."
The maid said softly, then quietly walked to the incense burner, took out a small packet of powder from her sleeve, sprinkled it into the incense burner, and lit it. A strange aroma quickly spread.
However, all this did not escape Shen Siyan's eyes. There was no trace of drunkenness in his eyes, and he observed everything around him clearly.
When the palace maid covered her nose and left and closed the door, Shen Siyan walked closer to the incense burner and confirmed her actions - it was a drug that could induce strong desire.
He snorted in his heart, disdaining such tactics.
Without stopping, he chose to jump out of the back window, used his lightness skills to leap onto the roof, hiding his body, and waiting for those who intended to harm him to show up.
He wanted to see who dared to play these tricks in front of him.
After about ten minutes, Ye Yu finally saw a figure swaying in the distance.
A palace maid led another woman slowly towards them.
Ye Yu frowned as she looked at her skirt. She had specially ordered it for today's flower-viewing banquet, but she didn't expect it to be stained by a glass of accidentally spilled juice.
She felt a little annoyed, but didn't want to seem petty because of such a small matter.
"How far do we have to go?" She said with obvious displeasure in her tone.
"It's not far ahead, miss." The maid replied softly, trying to calm her down.
"Why haven't I seen it yet? Why are you so slow!" Ye Yu's mood became worse and worse, and his tone became sharper.
The two continued to move forward, and soon the maid pointed to a room: "This is it, Miss, you can go in and change your clothes."
Ye Yu snorted coldly and walked straight to the room. "Go and get my clothes! My new clothes are with the maid."
"Yes, miss, I'll get it right away. Please wait a moment." The maid responded respectfully and turned to leave.
Ye Yu was about to push the door open when she suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, followed by a pain in the back of her neck. Her vision instantly went black, and she lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
Shen Siyan stood aside, looking at Ye Yu lying on the ground, frowning slightly: "Is this the woman they arranged for me?"
The palace maid looked at Prince Chen in horror. She had never expected him to appear here, let alone that he looked sober, completely different from the drunken state as rumored.
"Who instructed you to do this?" Shen Siyan's voice was cold as he approached the palace maid step by step.
The palace maid's face was as pale as paper and her body was trembling with fear.
She knew she couldn't tell the truth, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't say anything.
Shen Siyan grabbed her neck and forced her to look at him: "Tell me! Who sent you here?"
"Chen...Prince Chen, I just followed your instructions to bring this young lady here to change clothes. I really didn't know you were here."
The maid's face turned red from suffocation, and the sound was almost squeezed out of her throat.
Shen Siyan has sharp eyes and he can see the truth from a person's eyes.
At this moment, the palace maid's eyes flickered, and it was obvious that she was lying.
"You are lying." Shen Siyan's voice was as cold as ice, making people feel cold in their hearts.
The palace maid standing in front of him was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Miss... Miss did come to change her clothes. I really didn't lie."
As Shen Siyan's hands gradually tightened, the palace maid felt increasing pressure on her neck and breathing became difficult.
She managed to squeeze out a few words: "It's true!"
But Shen Siyan's expression did not change at all, and he remained indifferent.
He suddenly let go of her hand, and the maid fell to the ground weakly, coughing and gasping. Just when she thought she had escaped, she was grabbed by Shen Siyan and dragged away.
"Prince...Prince!" the palace maid shouted in horror.
After being thrown behind the rockery, the palace maid's body trembled with fear.
Shen Siyan pinched her chin and forced a pill into her mouth. The pill melted in her mouth, and the bitter taste immediately filled her mouth.
The maid wanted to vomit, but it was too late.
"Remember, I never let you off easily." Shen Siyan said coldly and let go of his hand.
The palace maid's face was pale and her heart was filled with fear.
She didn't know what the pill was, but she felt bitter and numb in her mouth, and had a bad feeling. Soon, she felt a dull pain in her abdomen.
"This is the intestinal worm. The eggs will hatch in your body and you will feel unimaginable pain."
Shen Siyan said calmly, as if describing an ordinary matter.
The palace maid's pain intensified and she curled up into a ball, holding her stomach tightly with both hands.
Sweat soaked her hair and her face was full of pain. She tried to shout, but her voice became weak due to the severe pain.
"Tell me, who sent you here?" Shen Siyan asked expressionlessly.
The palace maid rolled on the ground, her nails almost digging into the ground, and there were bloodstains all over the ground.
Even so, the physical pain she endured far outweighed the superficial scars. She had never expected that King Chen would treat her in such a cruel way, and she felt both fear and regret.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
The palace maid's voice echoed in the quiet room. Shen Siyan's face was as calm as a pool of deep water, without any ripples.
Seeing this, the maid knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, I confess everything! It was His Highness the Seventh Prince who sent me here!"
She finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and told the truth.
Shen Siyan was slightly stunned, and his eyes became complicated.
The memory of fighting side by side with the Seventh Prince came to his mind. He never expected that the person who stabbed him in the back would be his former comrade-in-arms.
With mixed feelings in his heart, he slowly clenched his fists.
The maid struggled to crawl to Shen Siyan's feet and hugged his legs tightly: "My lord, please have mercy and let this servant live. I am only following your orders..."
