Chapter 1444 - 1445: Break In and Rescue
Drinking wine might not be Ling Xue’s strong suit, but since it was tea in place of wine, if she didn’t give everyone face, she would inevitably be looked down upon.
Ling Xue thought so and continued to sip tea cup after cup, completely unaware that the tea had already been tampered with.
However, Ling Xue was, after all, a Commandery Princess equipped with special magical treasures and strong cultivation skills. Thus, those responsible didn’t dare to put too much of the poison.
Even so, as long as Ling Xue kept drinking, their plan was bound to succeed.
The Young Master of Pearfall Palace looked on triumphantly. The poison mixed into the tea was something he painstakingly acquired and was practically unheard of in the entirety of the Great Tang.
This colorless and tasteless poison had a particularly peculiar effect—once consumed, upon waking after sleep, the victim would become infatuated with the first person they laid eyes on!
The effect wouldn’t last long, but the Young Master of Pearfall Palace wouldn’t rely solely on this one method. In fact, the best part of his plan was yet to come!
Ling Xue had now consumed five cups of tea. Although she only took a few sips each time, the number of people surrounding her made it difficult for her to avoid drinking entirely.
For some reason, Ling Xue began to feel drowsy. Just as she was about to find a place for a quick nap, her bracelet vibrated.
Ling Xue shook herself awake—could it be Ye Luo?
Indeed, it was Ye Luo sending her a magical communication signal.
"This is bad, the situation’s going south!"
