I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Chapter 188: Make poison and escape?

An Muxi stayed here for two days and gradually got familiar with the environment here. Every day Feng Qingyu would come to accompany her for meals and then take her for a walk in the yard.

But when he was not around, An Muxi was not allowed to leave the courtyard of Nian Xi Pavilion.

He lives here too, but he lives in the front yard.

An Muxi was a little anxious. The flowers that could be used to make paralyzing poison were all in the big garden outside, but this villa was full of Feng Qingyu's guards.

She guessed that there must be secret guards in the dark and she couldn't get out at all.

At noon that day, Feng Qingyu came to have lunch with him again, and they would occasionally chat for a while.

After dinner, An Muxi suddenly asked, "Are you really planning to keep your mistress in a golden house now?"

Feng Qingyu was stunned, not sure what An Muxi wanted to express?

"Xi'er, you know that's not what I meant. I just don't want to use force on you, and I'm afraid you'll disobey me and run around. So I can only temporarily restrict your range of activities."

An Muxi rarely confronted him this time, and a look of resentment appeared on her face: "I don't know martial arts, and when you're not around, I can only move around in this small courtyard, feeling like a prisoner. You know I'm a freedom-loving person, and I'll go crazy if this goes on."

Feng Qingyu was silent for a while and then said, "How about this, from now on you can also walk around in the big garden outside, but you can't go to the front yard, because some ministers often come there."

Feng Qingyu held An Muxi's hand and said affectionately: "I know I have wronged you now. If you are willing to accept me, I can set you free. As long as we get married immediately."

An Muxi was speechless. She felt that Feng Qingyu was getting more and more eager to get her. She was a little scared and had to hurry.

After Feng Qingyu left, she immediately took Xiaoli and another maid to stroll around the big garden. She pretended to be leisurely admiring the flowers.

When she got to the flowers, she asked Xiaoli, "Can I pick the flowers in this garden?"

Xiaoli thought about it and thought, considering how much His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dotes on the young lady, he should be able to pick her at will, right?

So he nodded: "Okay."

So An Muxi smiled and said, "That's great. There are several kinds of flowers here that I like very much. Let's pick some and take them back."

So she picked some flowers that could be used as medicine, asked a few maids to help her carry them back to her bedroom.

Xiaoli considerately found a large vase and helped An Muxi put the flowers in it.

"I'm tired. You guys should go and rest. I'm going to sleep for a while."

Xiaoli and the others responded obediently and then retreated.

As soon as they left, An Muxi quickly walked to the vase. Fortunately, she picked a lot of flowers this time, so she could still pick a few without being discovered.

She mixed the flowers together and crushed them with the thick end of a hairpin. Then she tore off a piece of gauze, spread the crushed flower mud on it, and placed it under the bed to dry.

She also thought about secretly putting it in tea or food, but the smell of the flowers was too strong and would be easily discovered.

It would be safer to wait until it is dry and then put it in the incense burner and light it. She is wearing anti-poison beads, so when the incense burner is lit, she will not be affected.

After waiting for another two days, the flower mud finally dried up. She separated some of it and secretly put it into the incense burner in the maids' room when the maids were not paying attention.

The climate here is suitable and there are many mosquitoes, so everyone will light some incense to repel mosquitoes before going to bed at night.

She put the rest directly into the incense burner in her room.

In the evening, Feng Qingyu came over to have dinner with her after finishing his work. This time her attitude was very good, and Feng Qingyu even had the illusion that she accepted him.

After dinner, An Muxi took the initiative to ask, "Your Highness, can you play chess?"

Feng Qingyu looked at An Muxi in surprise: "Xi'er, do you want to play chess?"

In the past, An Muxi would just silently accompany him to finish dinner, then go back to rest, and would not say a single extra word to him.

Today, he actually offered to play chess with him?

"Yes, I feel a little bored. Why don't you play chess with me, Your Highness?"

An Muxi racked her brains to come up with this idea.

She stood up, glanced at Feng Qingyu, and then walked upstairs.

Feng Qingyu was simply incredulous. What was that look hinting at? What was she going to do upstairs? Upstairs was her bedroom, and Feng Qingyu would never go up there in the past to show respect.

"Go and get a chessboard." He quickly instructed the maid next to him, and then followed An Muxi upstairs.

Feng Qingyu felt his heartbeat quicken. Could it be that Xier had finally decided to accept him?

An Muxi was very nervous at the moment. Whether she could escape depended on today.

The incense had already been lit in the room, but Feng Qingyu came in without noticing it. There were flowers everywhere, and the smell was so mixed that it was hard to tell what was going on.

He walked into the room, grabbed An Muxi and brought her into his arms.

"Xi'er, have you decided to accept me? As long as you nod, I will overcome all difficulties to marry you into the Prince's Mansion, and I will definitely protect you from any harm. Okay?"

An Muxi was held, unable to move, and she forced herself not to push the person away.

At this time, the maid knocked on the door: "Your Highness, the chessboard is here."

An Muxi took the opportunity to push him away: "I just want Your Highness to play chess with me, can we not talk about other things?"

Feng Qingyu's eyes dimmed a little. He knew that this matter should not be rushed. He wanted her to marry him willingly.

"come in."

This time Feng Qingyu sat down, and the maid brought in the chessboard and chess pieces and set them up.

An Muxi said: "You all go down and rest, there is no need to serve here."

Several maids looked at the prince, and seeing that he had no objection, they bowed and left.

An Muxi, this poor chess player, simply brought shame upon himself. He didn't win once in the few games he played.

Feng Qingyu looked at her with a bit of amusement: "Do you want to practice your chess skills? I can teach you."

An Muxi was a little depressed. The incense had been lit for so long, but there was still no movement.

Logically speaking, it should take a cup of tea to show the effect, so how come Feng Qingyu is still able to move freely?

An Muxi nodded depressedly: "Yes, will you teach me?"

Feng Qingyu chuckled: "Of course, I'm happy to do so."

As he was about to start a new round, An Muxi felt overwhelmed. She really wanted to find a club to knock Feng Qingyu out.

Suddenly Feng Qingyu's movements froze, and the chess piece in his hand suddenly fell onto the chessboard.

An Muxi was delighted when she saw this scene. It finally worked?

Feng Qingyu looked at An Muxi in disbelief: "You...poisoned me?"

An Muxi didn't say anything. She quickly stood up and put the small bag of jewelry that had been packed in advance on her shoulder, then took out a pile of cloth from under the bed.

She tore all the cloth into long strips and tied them into a very long rope.

She had already observed that there was a big tree next to the wall behind the attic. She would tie the ropes to the tree, then climb up the tree, grab the ropes and climb down. She would be able to escape immediately.

Then she took the jewelry to the pawn shop and got a lot of silver in exchange, which provided her with enough money for her travel and living expenses.

"Prince Feng, goodbye. I will remember what you have done for me and will repay you in the future."

Well, if you don’t say something harsh before leaving, you’ll seem like a coward.

An Muxi didn't dare to delay because the effect of the medicine would only last for three hours and she had to escape from here as soon as possible.

She had specially worn a sturdier dress today. It was night time and dark outside, but she easily reached the big tree, tied one end of the rope to the tree, and then threw the other end over the courtyard wall.

After a long time of effort, I finally climbed up the tree, then grabbed the rope and slowly slid down along the wall.

The moment her feet touched the ground, she finally breathed a sigh of relief; she had succeeded!

She brushed off the dust on her body and let out a breath.

Then he turned around and prepared to find a place to rest. As a result, he saw a man standing there in the dark, looking at him leisurely.

"Xi'er, am I not good to you? You forced me to do this!"
