    A woman disguises herself as a prince and a man disguises himself as a concubine [Twenty-five]

    Li Xin still wanted to refute.

    But he put his long index finger on his lips and made a silent gesture, opening and closing his lips gracefully.

    Someone.

    So he said.

    When Li Xin saw this, she subconsciously looked back, but the palace door was tightly closed, and there was no trace of anyone there.

    He was lying to her.

    After having this understanding, Li Xin turned to look at the window sill again. Sure enough, the night breeze outside the window felt cool, but there was no trace of the masked man.

    She gritted her teeth, lifted up the hem of her clothes, and saw a bright chain on her ankle.

    He couldn’t help but sigh in defeat, climbed down from the window, and returned to the bed.

    She took out a medicine bottle from under the pillow, took a pill and swallowed it. After feeling the familiar stinging pain, she opened her mouth again. Her voice had returned to the hoarse and low tone of a man.

    It was a coincidence that on the day he came, she was over the effect of the medicine, otherwise she would not dare to talk to him at all.

    Li Xin was lying on the couch, covered with a thin brocade quilt. She closed her eyes slightly and sorted out the information in her mind one by one.

    Concubine Ying, Aunt He, the third prince, the married second girl of the Ning family, this masked man of unknown origin.

    What a mess.

    She thought about it carefully, and before she knew it, she closed her eyes and fell into sleep.

    What she didn’t know was that after she fell asleep, someone sneaked into her room quietly, avoiding the guards, eunuchs, and maids outside the door, and easily reached her bedside.

    He slowly leaned down, reached under her pillow, took out the bottle of pills, poured one out, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it.

    Just as he expected.

    Ning Shuyao pursed her lips into a straight line, pressed the bottle in place, and placed it back under her pillow.

    Li Xin was sleeping soundly, breathing long and evenly. A ray of bright moonlight outside the window fell on her face. Through the hazy bed curtain, her face was as beautiful and clear as a bright pearl in the night.

    For some reason, Ning Shuyao’s heart palpitated slightly, she curled her lips and said only four words:

    Stupid people.

    If this continues, sooner or later, she will become a chess piece used by Concubine Ying to save her rook, and die inexplicably.

    But what does that have to do with him?

    Ning Shu Yao stared at her for a while, feeling a little confused as she lowered her chest. Without any further pause, she turned around and jumped out of the window, quickly disappearing.

    Li Xin was unaware of this.

    We lived in peace for another two months.

    At this time, Li Xin’s marriage was already being prepared, but as a party involved, she had no interest in it at all. Her mind was filled with how to spend her wedding night.

    Although Aunt He comforted her and said that Concubine Ying had made arrangements, she was still uneasy in her heart.

    As for Liu and Yingniang, it was easier to deceive them. She only said that the serious third prince’s concubine had not yet passed, so she did not dare to favor them, so she comforted them and passed.

    Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the wedding day arrived while Li Xin was suffering from anxiety.

    She was dressed in red and got married to the girl from the Ning family whom she had just glimpsed.

    Everything is like a dream.

    The only thing she remembered was probably the scarlet eyes, the meaningful smiling faces of the emperor, the imperial concubine, and concubine Ying, and the girl’s too tall figure.

    After completing the ceremony, they entered the bridal chamber.

    Aunt He took advantage of the gap to pull her out of the door and told Li Xin that the wine was drugged. As long as Li Xin deceived Ning Er… no, it should be the third prince and concubine who drank it, she would fall asleep.

    Li Xin frowned when he heard this:

    “If you can fool her like this tonight, what about tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow? Are you going to stun her every day?”

    Aunt He rubbed her hands:

    “Your Highness, you can make your own arrangements for tomorrow. You can just get through tonight.”
