Vol Chapter 24 (1/2)

The night was silent as the sea

Four guards followed behind Rong Zhi, as carrying a tray; on the tray was a flagon and a white jade cup The five walked into Distant Dwelling

And the guards at the entrance didn’t halt them

At this ti under a light with a book in his hand He appeared to be reading, but his gaze was unfocused, and his thoughts elsewhere The sound of the door being pushed open woke hi in with a s as cold as the night

Rong Zhi had a lazy and causal sentle But Huan Yuan knew, this person rarely had any expression other than that leisure one Although he had never seen for hi people, he would not show the brutality of bloodshed

Then, as he planning to do now?

His gaze landing on the tray Rong Zhi carried, Huan Yuan had a guess in his heart, and his expression also beca to Distant Dwelling, is there so to instruct Huan Yuan?”

Rong Zhi sht people don’t speak dark words Huan Yuan, I don’t want to waste ti to the point in front of you; drink this cup of mine, and I’ll leave”

Huan Yuan put the book down, and answered faintly: “What if I’ to?”

Rong Zhi laughed, “What do you think I brought all these people here for?” What he meant was, if Huan Yuan wouldn’t cooperate and drink this toasted wine, he would only let people force him to drink punished wine

It’s not ato or not

Huan Yuanwhat he was thinking, Rong Zhi said lazily, “Don’t worry I’ you drink this wine Make your decision quickly, Huan Yuan”

Knowing that he had no other choice, Huan Yuan took the cup and held it steady for a servant to fill it, then without any hesitation, lifted his head and sed the wine in one gulp The wine had a slight sweet taste, but when it passed through his throat there was a faint bitter taste too He knew soredient was added to the wine, but he didn’t knohat

Rong Zhi sh this person had exceptional talent, due to his field of vision and experiences being li some scholarly temper that he couldn’t put down Even if he blatantly knew that this cup of as poisoned, to not lose face, he would still voluntarily drink it

After he drank the wine, Huan Yuan didn’t feel anything different in his body There wasn’t the excruciating pain he expected, nor was there dizziness While he was still confused, Rong Zhi had already left with the people he brought

In this room, Huan Yuan was confused and puzzled; in that room, Chu Yu had a peaceful but dreamless sleep

The nextup, Chu Yu dressed herself and prepared to go outside But theoutside, about to raise his hand to knock on the door

“Good aze loose as clouds, as if the unhappy parting yesterday was only an illusion

Chu Yu was also happy to pretend nothing happened Even though she wanted to interrogate him about why he sentZhi did lots of these before, so she couldn’t say anything She just smiled and nodded

The talked shoulder to shoulder Rong Zhi asked casually, “Princess, are you going to go find Huan Yuan?”
