Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"Xu Yiyan! I knew your father's actions today must be a trick!"

Whoosh! Along with the voice of Sun Ziyou outside the yard, a feather arrow pierced through the window, but it did not pierce Xu Yixing's position, but was nailed to the wall behind him.

"It's Sun Ziyou, he's here too! We..." Xu Yixing looked at Lu Anyuan, he slapped himself to the ground with one hand, and everyone in the room lay on the ground.

"Be quiet, don't let him know your location."

Lu Anyuan only brought three people with him today, and with Yixing's shadow guards, there were only four people. If these four people were sent out as assassins, they would definitely do something great, but to say that they could protect the master's safety under the arrows was a bit far-fetched.

"Grandson You! I am Lu Anyuan. If you dare to do anything wrong today, it will be like assassinating the prince. You can expect your property to be confiscated!"

Xu Yixing widened his eyes and said, "Didn't you tell me not to make any noise? Why are you shouting so loudly?"

When Sun Ziyou heard this, he seemed to stop. Xu Yixing wanted to look through the arrow hole, but was held down by Lu Anyuan.

Just as he finished speaking, Sun Ziyou's voice rang out again outside the courtyard: "I didn't expect the Seventh Prince to be here too. My apologies. But you two are really a pair of bastards. Why did you come to this remote place to have a tryst in the middle of the night instead of staying in your own room?"

After Sun Ziyou finished speaking, he suddenly heard a rustling sound outside. Lu Anyuan immediately picked up Xu Yixing and threw him down from the secret passage under the kang, and kicked Ying Jiu down as well.

The next moment, yellow balls the size of longan were hurled into the room by more than a dozen slingshots. The room was suddenly filled with yellow smoke, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Xu Yixing fell down the stairs and was knocked unconscious, but luckily she managed to steady herself halfway and stopped on the stairs. Ying Jiu quickly followed and checked her injuries.

"What do you see up there?"

"There are about 40 to 50 archers. They suddenly appeared when you were about to come out. Sun Ziyou was the leader."

"Okay, okay. It seems we came at the right time. There has been too much movement at home today. Sun Ziyou must have come to move the body. If we are any later, there will be no evidence."

"I don't think so. Do we need to bring forty or fifty crossbowmen to move the bodies?"

Xu Yixing opened his eyes wide, startled: "They are here to silence us! Lu Anyuan is still up there, he is the prince, grandson You wouldn't dare to do that, right?"

"Kill them and move them, who can be connected to the Sun Mansion."

Xu Yixing gritted his teeth, his temples throbbing, and stood up despite the pain in his feet: "What should we do? Get them down too?"

"If there's no other exit from the dungeon, then we're just waiting to die. There's no point. Besides, if they set a fire, that's not good."

As soon as Ying Jiu finished speaking, Xu Yixing smelled a strange smell: "What is this?"

Ying Jiu took off a black cloth bag from his body, stuffed half of the contents to Xu Yixing, and chewed the other half himself: "It's poison gas, take the detoxification pills quickly!"

He saw Xu Yixing still standing there in a daze, so he picked him up and walked deeper into the dungeon, away from the exit.

"Ying Jiu, what kind of poison requires so many detoxifying pills?" Xu Yixing looked at the pills in his hand that he could hardly hold in one hand. They were of different colors and sizes. He felt that he would be choked to death after eating all of them.

"I'm not Ying Si, how would I know what the poison is? It's always right to eat it all."

Xu Yixing looked at Ying Jiu awkwardly and said, "Okay, okay, it seems that Ying Si always brings you too many antidotes and doesn't know how to save at all."

For the sake of his own safety, Xu Yixing followed Ying Jiu's instructions and ate the whole handful.

Upstairs, when the yellow smoke began to fill the air, Lu Anyuan took a small pill from Ada's hand, put it in his mouth and pressed it down with the root of his tongue.

But this grandson You was too generous with his ingredients. He managed to throw more than a dozen poison pills into the tiny room. Even with the antidote, it was still very choking.

"Your Highness, please go down too!"

Once the poisonous smoke dissipates, it is estimated that it will be followed by arrow feathers or fire arrows. If you don't leave, you will be roasted to death.

"There is no other exit down there. Going in is just waiting for death. When will our people arrive?"

"With such a big commotion here, they should be here soon."

Lu Anyuan nodded and pressed his back against the earthen kang. He never did anything without confidence. Although he did not bring many people with him today, he had already sent his private soldiers out of the city, waiting for deployment.

"I just didn't expect that Sun Ziyou would be so presumptuous that he actually dared to murder the prince!"

"He's a desperate dog. He will kill anyone who comes today. Cough cough cough cough..." The poisonous smoke still stung his throat. If the smoke didn't dissipate, something serious would happen.

"Your Highness, if our people take action, His Majesty will find out that you have private soldiers, and I'm afraid that other princes will use it to make a fuss. How about?" Ah Da made a gesture of wiping his neck, indicating that they would cut the grass and root it out.

"No, I have to keep my grandson You. I have to give an explanation to the Xu family."

"Ah!" Ah Da sighed. How come you can't figure out what's going on when it comes to the word Xu? Before he could sigh, a rocket flew in, and Sun Ziyou took action.

In the dungeon, Xu Yixing clung to the side of the bed where her body was placed. Her legs and feet were really sore from rolling down. She watched Ying Jiu scratching around in the dungeon, looking for the second exit.

However, Xu Yixing did not have much hope. Since it was a dungeon, how could there be other exits deliberately designed for people to escape? Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?

So she just waited quietly, listening to the noise upstairs.

"Second Miss, there is a smell of smoke upstairs, it seems there is a fire."

"They really want to burn us to death. This is so embarrassing. If people behind us find out that Lu Anyuan and I are out together so late at night, wouldn't it affect our reputation?"

"She's lost her life but still cares about her reputation. The Second Miss is really generous!"

"You don't understand." What reputation did Xu Yixing want? What she cared about was Yi Yan's reputation. Even if she died, she couldn't be accused of running away from home at night to meet someone secretly.

With a clang, the cover above the dungeon was opened. Ying Jiu took a few steps forward and hid in the blind spot of the stairs. Xu Yixing did not move, trying his best to let the bed curtain cover his body.

"Come out, it's okay, cough cough cough!"

It’s Lu Anyuan’s voice!

Xu Yixing walked forward a few steps and looked up. As expected, he saw Lu Anyuan holding a torch. His little face was blackened by smoke, and only his eyes were particularly bright.

"Go out through the back window, cough cough cough! You can't be seen here, go!"

Xu Yixing went up to take a look. The fire in the house had not been completely extinguished. The windows and door panels had been shot into sieves, and there were arrows everywhere. There were sounds of fighting outside the yard, but it seemed that no one had come in yet.
