Chapter 855: Ancient Foreign Princess 6
Xuanyuan Lang, who was sitting on the throne, raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said in a low voice: "Oh? Really?"
"Absolutely true." Although the maid was kneeling, she couldn't help but tremble in her legs after hearing Xuanyuan Lang's words, and she almost couldn't make a sound.
After all, Xuanyuan Lang ascended to the throne by killing his brother and father. He possesses brute strength that ordinary people cannot understand, and can even break a person's skull with his bare hands.
All the palace people who did not please him would be executed one by one, including the ministers.
So how could they not be afraid when facing such a character?
Xuanyuan Lang didn't have any special emotions, he just said: "Okay, got it."
The maid was slightly stunned, and she couldn't help asking, "King, are you not going to punish Yao Ji?"
In this situation, the maid dared to look directly at Xuanyuan Lang.
Xuanyuan Lang seemed to have heard something funny: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
He didn't even have to say the next word before his personal bodyguard drew his sword and stepped forward.
As soon as the maid's eyes were filled with fear, her head fell to the ground.
A pool of bright red blood quickly spread out on the jade brick, and soon someone came forward to clean it up.
The personal guard returned to Xuanyuan Lang, who said calmly, "Ah Fu, keep an eye on her."
"Yes, I know." Ah Fu has a face that others can't remember, and even his voice is unrecognizable.
He turned and walked into the shadows, and soon, several shadows quickly left the palace.
Jiang Yao's purpose of leaving the palace was not just to purchase supplies, but more importantly, to understand the route of departure and some situations.
Jiang Yao's appearance was very eye-catching. When people passing by saw Jiang Yao that day, they all recognized her as the princess of the fallen country who was brought back.
So some brave people came forward to talk to Jiang Yao.
"Yao Ji, can I call you that?" A girl who looked about fifteen years old approached Jiang Yao with a blushing face.
Jiang Yao smiled at her: "You can call me Yao."
After all, the name Yao Ji is actually the name of a married woman.
"Okay, Yao!" The girl shouted happily after getting the response, "My name is Wu La!"
"Okay, Wu La." Jiang Yao looked around, "Do you know where the nearest market is? And where else can I buy herbs?"
Wu La nodded hurriedly: "I know, Yao, come with me."
Jiang Yao followed behind Wu La, turning left and right and finally arrived at a spacious place where there were market stalls.
"This is our largest market. If you want to buy herbs, go straight inside and you will see a mud house." Wu La walked beside Jiang Yao and introduced enthusiastically, "If Yao needs me to accompany you, I will follow you."
Jiang Yao declined her kindness. After all, she prepared these herbs not to save people, but for self-defense.
After seeing Jiang Yao's refusal, a trace of disappointment flashed across Wu La's face: "Okay, then Yaoyao, be careful."
As she was saying this, Jiang Yao placed a gold coin in her hand.
Wu La was a little stunned. Jiang Yao smiled at her and said, "Thank you for leading the way."
Wu La looked at Jiang Yao's smile, and the redness on his face became even larger.
Jiang Yao waved her hand and walked directly to the road leading to the market.
She didn't see anything worth buying on the street.
Then she walked to the herbalist's shop.
She specially selected more than twenty kinds of herbs and also bought a mortar. She would go back and grind them into what she needed.
In order to avoid being noticed by others, Jiang Yao even bought more than ten kinds of unrelated herbs.
Because Jiang Yao bought a lot, the clerk in the herbal medicine shop gave her a straw basket as a gift.
After coming out of the herbal medicine shop, Jiang Yao originally wanted to leave directly, but then he saw the weapons shop next to it.
This scene was seen clearly by two secret guards.
Jiang Yao went in and bought a dagger for self-defense. It was very small and could even be tied to the wrist and taken out when needed.
After watching Jiang Yao buy weapons and return to the palace, the two secret guards also returned to the hall to report.
After knowing that Jiang Yao had bought weapons, Ah Fu took the initiative to ask: "Wang, do you need me..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xuanyuan Lang.
"It's just buying a dagger. Let her do whatever she wants." Xuanyuan Lang waved his hand. "If she really has evil intentions, she will definitely find ways to get close to me."
Xuanyuan Lang stopped reviewing the memorials and asked, "Besides weapons? Is there nothing else?"
"And... there's also a basket of herbs."
"Herbs?" Xuanyuan Lang raised his eyebrows. "It seems that this princess of the fallen country is not simple."
Jiang Yao naturally knew that someone was watching her.
After two months of continuous practice, the size of her internal force had grown to half the size of a fist, and her five senses had become clearer, so when the two secret guards arrived, she had already noticed it.
But the secret guards did not take action, so she pretended not to know.
In fact, she had already planned her escape route after she came back.
Based on his observations of patrols over the past few months, Jiang Yao naturally knew the patrol routes and times throughout the palace.
Generally speaking, there are always some gaps when changing shifts.
However, the patrolling soldiers around the palace did not give anyone a chance to commit a crime, either in terms of formation or time.
If it was Jiang Yao a few months ago, she would have been unable to escape. But now Jiang Yao has been practicing for more than three months, and her current internal strength is enough to quietly blend into the patrol team and sneak away from the palace.
So even if those secret guards attacked her, Jiang Yao had ways to protect herself.
After waiting for a few days, still no one attacked Jiang Yao, and the secret guards just stared at her in the dark.
Jiang Yao simply put the matter behind her and just took more precautions.
Three days later, envoys from the Yun Kingdom and the Feng Kingdom arrived.
During these three days, Jiang Yao used time to quickly transform the herbs into powder and pills.
She made several crude knockout potions and several crude antidote pills.
Jiang Yao hid the knockout powder and detoxification pills carefully on her body, then tied the dagger she had bought earlier to her calf, and put on her boots to hide it well.
The singing girls and dancers came in one after another, and the banquet officially began.
Jiang Yao's performance was in the middle and at the end of the banquet, so she was not in a hurry to go on stage.
The programs arranged by Jiang Yao received very good responses, and all the ministers and envoys watched the programs intently.
Seeing this scene, the servants of the Xuanyuan Dynasty felt very proud.
At the same time, Jiang Yao also glanced at Lan Ji from afar outside the palace. She was the white moonlight in the eyes of the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms or future monarchs.
At first glance, Jiang Yao discovered that Lan Ji was indeed 60% similar to her.
But Lan Ji became even colder, and the expression on her face became even more indifferent.
If we say that she and Jiang Yao are sisters, I'm afraid many people would think so too.
