Chapter 707: Drag the Dead Dog
Chapter 707: Drag the Dead Dog
"Don't think too much, just eat quickly. I haven't eaten such delicious meat in a long time! Besides, I never ate fatty meat before, but I didn't expect that I can even eat fatty meat now."
After saying that, the princess picked up another piece of delicious meat and put it into her mouth, chewing it with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Ni'er no longer hesitated and continued to enjoy the sumptuous food.
Nier chewed the food slowly, but her brows gradually furrowed. She put down her chopsticks and said with some dissatisfaction, "This food is so salty!"
Seeing this, the princess sitting nearby picked up the wine jug on Prince Li's table and said to Ni'er, "Come, try this wine. It looks good."
After that, the princess poured a glass of wine for Nier.
Nier looked at the clear glass of wine and thought that maybe she could use it to soothe the salty and bitter taste.
So she picked up the wine glass and prepared to drink it all.
However, the moment she brought the wine glass to her lips, a faint fragrance suddenly entered her nostrils.
Nier's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
"Not good!" Ni'er's face suddenly changed. She quickly put down her wine glass and lowered her voice, "There's something wrong with this wine. I'm afraid someone has drugged it!"
The princess looked at the wine jug again. After careful observation, she found that there was a secret hidden in it, an ingenious mechanism.
"I see. I was too careless just now and didn't notice this detail."
"I remember seeing a similar wine jug in the palace. It had a bead on the lid."
"As long as I turn this bead, I can pour out the poisonous wine and the non-poisonous wine separately, and the two kinds of wine will never mix together." The princess suddenly realized.
To verify her guess, the princess turned the beads on the lid of the pot and poured out another glass of wine.
Nier quickly picked up the wine glass and sniffed it. After a moment, she said with certainty, "This glass is indeed non-toxic."
The princess' heart was filled with worry and fear. Her face was pale and there was even a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
"That was so dangerous just now. I almost hurt you!"
The princess' voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that she had not yet fully recovered from the thrilling scene just now.
Seeing this, Nier quickly comforted her, "Princess, don't worry too much. This little bit of poison has no effect on me at all. It's completely harmless." Then she frowned, "General..."
The princess' eyes narrowed slightly.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and her face became serious: "This must be Lian Yi's doing. We must go find the general immediately!"
Before she finished speaking, the princess turned around without hesitation and left the place in a hurry.
Seeing this, Ni'er hurriedly followed.
"What kind of poison did she use? General Li was so nice to her on a daily basis, but she was so cruel and poisoned people. It's so hateful!" The princess said indignantly as she ran.
Ni'er ran hurriedly, breathing heavily, "It's an aphrodisiac."
The princess was shocked when she heard this.
"How can this be! We must not let Lian Yi succeed. I don't like her at all. We must not let her set foot in the General's Mansion!"
But the princess didn't know where to go now.
He stopped in confusion.
"Nier, where do you think General Li is?"
Nier walked in front of the princess.
"Let's hurry to General Li's tent. Hopefully we can still make it in time."
There was a hint of urgency in her tone.
Hearing this, the princess quickened her pace.
They finally arrived at General Li's tent.
However, before they could get close, they heard faint sobbing mixed with some crying coming from the tent.
Nier and the princess looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.
The princess opened her mouth and wanted to say something to comfort Nier, but she found that her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't make a sound.
Her mind was in a mess at the moment and she had no idea how to deal with the situation.
"How could Sixth Brother be so careless that he actually fell into someone else's trap?"
At this moment, a voice came from far away, with a crying and annoyed tone.
As the sound got closer, the cries and prayers became louder and louder.
Nier and the princess looked at each other again, both of them showing deep doubts in their eyes.
They didn't know what was going on in the tent.
Not long after, two people dragged Lian Yi out of the tent like a dead dog.
"General Li, I really know I was wrong! Please, have mercy on me and let me go. I really don't want to go!"
Lian Yi's cries echoed in the night sky, sounding particularly miserable.
However, despite Lian Yi's pleading, General Li never showed up.
The two men showed no mercy and continued to drag Lian Yi away.
Nier stood aside and watched this scene. She observed Lian Yi carefully and found that her face looked unusually rosy under the light of the fire, and her voice was trembling, which did not seem to be caused by emotional excitement.
"Could it be..." A thought flashed through Ni'er's mind.
She stared at the direction where Lian Yi was being dragged away, wanting to see clearly where Lian Yi was being taken.
"What place is that?" Ni'er finally couldn't help but ask.
The princess hesitated for a moment and replied uncertainly, "That seems to be where enemy prisoners are kept."
After hearing the princess' words, the same thought came to their minds at the same time.
"Lian Yi was actually poisoned!"
The princess stood in front of the tent, put her hands to her mouth, and shouted loudly: "Sixth brother, are you okay?"
General Li was sitting in the tent. When he heard the princess's call, he immediately stood up, walked quickly to the door of the tent, lifted the curtain and walked out.
"I'm fine." General Li's voice was low and gentle, his eyes fell on the princess with a faint smile.
These two people arrived just in time.
Ni'er stood beside the princess, her eyes fixed on General Li, looking at him carefully, as if trying to find something unusual about him.
"Are you really okay?" There was a hint of doubt in Ni'er's voice, and her brows were slightly furrowed.
General Li watched the worried expressions on the princess and Ni'er's faces gradually disappear. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a comforting smile, and said, "What do you think will happen to me?"
The princess couldn't wait to say, "We were really scared just now. We wanted to drink your wine to quench our thirst, but Ni'er found out it was drugged, so she hurried over and saw Lian Yi being dragged away."
She spoke very quickly, obviously not having fully recovered from the shock she had just experienced.
