Chapter 1049: Chapter 238: Arouse the Urge to Kill_2

"When they mentioned digging three feet into the ground, the Advisor’s face changed immediately, "Prince! I fear there might be a hidden tunnel inside the house!"

"Impossible." This courtyard was secured years ago by Prince Xiao Guangbi’s Consort Yu’s distant relatives. No one could find him, let alone dig a hidden tunnel and see him trying to take over Pei Qin.

Yet, the Advisor had already grown suspicious and immediately began to search the house upon entering, calling for an expert in hidden mechanisms to help look for it.

Subsequently, with some effort, they found the entrance to the hidden tunnel beneath the bed, a dark opening leading downwards.

The guard lit a torch and went down the ladder.

"Prince! There are footprints below! Someone has passed through!"

"Pursue!" Xiao Guangbi instructed through gritted teeth.

"Yes, Prince!" A group of guards immediately went down to track.

Xiao Yong, carrying Pei Qin, swiftly changed the entrance of the hidden tunnel, heading directly towards a beam of light below, opened the door to send Pei Qin up, then climbed out himself and closed the tunnel door.

Looking up at the small courtyard, he hurriedly took Pei Qin into the house.

"Master!?" An elderly couple came over in surprised respect.

Xiao Yong placed Pei Qin on the kang bed and ordered them, "Go immediately and send a message to Lu Hai and his group. Sister Qin is safe with me, ask them to temporarily avoid coming here to confuse them."

The old man complied, turning to head to the kitchen, grabbing a vinegar bottle to go out and get vinegar.

Pei Qin’s soy sauce shop in Capital Jingcheng had closed for a while during the turmoil and had recently reopened, signing a contract with a vinegar factory, selling soy sauce and vinegar together.

Lu Hai and Liu Feng could be misled and they received a letter from Xiao Yong, but what happened to Pei Qin, the two could not know for sure, they must go to the soy sauce shop, that was their fixed spot for exchanging messages.

An old woman came over to check Pei Qin’s pulse, frowning, "Master! The lady has been drugged; if not resolved, it will burn out her body!"

"Do we have any medicine?" Xiao Yong saw her entire face unnaturally flushed, even while asleep, restless, breathing heavily, her body involuntarily twitching slightly. His brows furrowed tightly with anger and hate.

The old woman shook her head, "An Aphrodisiac can be countered with cold water."

Since Mo Heng wasn’t here, and Pei Qin had been dosed with an Aphrodisiac without a remedy, the only option was to soak her in cold water.

"... Prepare the cold water," Xiao Yong ordered.

The old woman handed Xiao Yong a small bottle and complied to prepare the cold water.

Xiao Yong opened the small bottle, placed it under Pei Qin’s nose, and had her inhale deeply several times, "Sister Qin! Wake up!"

Pei Qin moaned softly, opening her eyes and waking up. Her phoenix eyes shimmered with watery allure, hazy and tempting.

Xiao Yong’s heart skipped a beat, he leaned in close and called her, "Sister Qin? Sister Qin!?"

Pei Qin only heard his echoing voice, as if it were a call enticing her, feeling even hotter and more restless. She reached out and grabbed him, "Mo Heng! Save... save me!"

"Sister Qin! I am not Mo Heng!" Xiao Yong, pulled close by her, explained.

"Mo... Mo Heng... Aphrodisiac... Save... me... ah..." Pei Qin only heard the name Mo Heng; she couldn’t make out anything else and couldn’t hear anymore, rising to embrace him.

Xiao Yong’s body tensed, "Sister Qin... I am not..." His hands, however, were reluctant and didn’t want to push her away.

Pei Qin, while calling Mo Heng’s name, rubbed against him in his embrace, her hands also reaching to undo his clothing.

Having used the Seven-pulse Lotus before, there had always been a faint scent of lotus on her, which now mixed with the hot breath she exhaled. Xiao Yong closed his eyes, raising his hand to grasp hers.

"Sister Qin! Sis..."

"Mo Heng... Quickly... quickly..." Pei Qin opened her mouth seeking his.

Xiao Yong gripped her hands, pushing her onto the kang bed, his mind tumultuously stirred. Watching her misty eyes shimmering with unendurable longing, he clenched his fists, caressing her flushed cheeks, "Sister Qin... Sister Qin..."

Pei Qin reached up to hook her hands around his neck, pulling him down.

Their lips suddenly met, Xiao Yong shuddered. Sister Qin, I really am not Mo Heng! Not!

Pei Qin, with her eyes now hazy, invading.

"Master! The ice water is here!"

A voice came from outside; Xiao Yong instantly sobered up, hastily retreating. Seeing her lips, ravished to a fresh red by himself, he forcibly suppressed the passion in his heart, took a couple of deep breaths to steady himself, and ordered, "Bring it directly into the room!"

The old woman complied, rolling a large wooden tub into the room, quickly filling it with ice water.

Xiao Yong dared not look further or delay longer, he removed her soft armor and carried Pei Qin into the large wooden tub.

As the old woman initially extended her hand to attend to Pei Qin, she hesitated, quickly lowering her hand, "Master! The lady’s body inherently has a chill poison, soaking too much in ice water is detrimental and further saps her vitality. Thus, after this tub of ice water, once the lady regains consciousness, the remaining small amount of the drug’s effects can be suppressed by herself."
