Chapter 171: The escape route prepared for her was 171 Chapter 171: The escape route prepared for her was 171 They were confident about rescuing him, but according to the information they received, the chains binding Prince Jing were made of Black Iron, indestructible, and only the key carried by that old geezer could unlock them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been worried for such a long time.
Ye Jiu deeply felt a type of malice coming from society, had she known earlier that the condition for agreeing to take her back was to make her do this kind of thing… well, she…
Probably would still agree, right?
After all, the person they were trying to save was closely related to her.
Consider it… a repayment for the seed he once contributed, allowing her current self to obtain a chance at life!
“That old fart isn’t a lecher, is he? I can fetch the key but you guys have to ensure my innocence, right?” Ye Jiu struggled to say.
Si Rong took out two porcelain bottles from his bosom and handed them to Ye Jiu, “Inside the red bottle is the Sleeping Drug, and the white bottle contains the antidote. You can take the antidote one cup of tea in advance. The Sleeping Drug won’t affect you within two hours, but remember, you must release the Sleeping Drug in a place where there’s no one else, otherwise, if that old geezer collapses in public, it’ll be a big trouble.”
Ye Jiu reached out to take them, “No problem, I got it. Just how am I supposed to hand over the key to you guys when I get it?”
Ye Jiu suddenly remembered that she still had a large stash of medicine in her Plane Space, which was from the last trade she made with La Sike before he went into service.
Among them seemed to be quite a few poisons and sleeping drugs, and the stuff La Sike handed out must have been much more potent than these, right?
That also meant she had a double guarantee, at least in terms of safety, which Ye Jiu found very satisfying.
“After obtaining the key, find a safe place to hide yourself first. After we’ve rescued the person, we will come to meet you,” Si Rong said.
Ye Jiu was somewhat skeptical.
If things went without a hitch, they might come to pick her up despite the trouble; but if there were any unexpected incidents, Ye Jiu did not believe they would risk their lives to care about her fate.
Si Rong easily read the thoughts in Ye Jiu’s mind.
He couldn’t help but inwardly chuckle—this young lady might be young, but she was very astute.
Indeed, to them, sacrificing a young girl wasn’t a big deal if it meant saving Prince Jing.
But this girl was the only one who could come into physical contact with their Family Head, and that made her important.
No matter what the Family Head was thinking in his heart, as his subordinates, they had to consider the continuance of the War Prince Residence.
So, unless it was truly a last resort, this girl definitely would not become a disposable piece.
Of course, if the girl ultimately failed to preserve her innocence, then that would be a different story.
“There’s a stream in the backyard of the Guard Office that leads directly outside. In case anything changes suddenly, you can follow the stream to the base of the wall and then escape through it. This is a fluid to wash off your makeup,” Si Rong said, taking out another porcelain bottle from his chest and cautioning her.
He was also leaving her a way out, because though the Prince had calculated everything, once they acted, any unforeseen incident would be beyond their prediction.
Ye Jiu kept Si Rong’s words in her heart.
In her hand, she still had a Mermaid Pearl, which allowed her to breathe underwater. The stream in the Guard Office was practically a ready-made escape route for her!
“I’ll remember that, thank you for the reminder, Guard Si Rong,” Ye Jiu said sweetly, accepting the porcelain bottles from Si Rong’s hands with a smile.
