Gu Shengyin reached out and gently pressed a spot on the soft couch.
A secret compartnt under the pillow appeared; she glanced at it and saw various scattered small items inside.
She reached out and took a small white porcelain bottle, opened it, and poured out the bright red pill inside.
Gu Shengyin brought it to her nose and gave it a light sniff, releasing a rich, sweet aroma.
This was how the Seo Imperial Family controlled these Hidden Guards.
Every three months, the Hidden Guards must go to their master to collect an antidote.
Moreover, the antidote for each mber of the imperial family was different, aning it was impossible to betray their master and serve another.
Gu Shengyin put the bottle back, restored the pillow to its original state, and slowly lay down.
The reason Ying Qi was hesitant to act was not only because many people in the capital were familiar with Eldest Princess Yong Le, which made her cautious, but probably also because of this reason.
It might be that when Eldest Princess Yong Le went out for marriage alliance, the deploynt was not as secretive as in the Capital City, giving Ying Qi an opportunity to exploit.
However, if Ying Qi dared to make a move against Eldest Princess Yong Le, she must already know the thod and ans of the antidote.
Gu Shengyin thought drowsily, a wave of fatigue overcoming her, and she fell asleep half-leaning.
Then she was awakened by the system.
"Host, soone has arrived."
Gu Shengyin opened her eyes and glanced around the great hall but saw no trace of anyone.
"In the hot spring," the system told her.
Gu Shengyin lowered her eyes to glance at the calm surface of the hot spring, and she was impressed by the outsider.
How did he manage to jump into the water without creating a single splash?
"Is it because he’s after Eldest Princess Yong Le?"
The system said, "It seems not; I can only see that he seems to be chased, and in urgency, he entered here."
Gu Shengyin raised an eyebrow.
This place, a separate palace outside the Capital, was specially built by the late Emperor for his youngest daughter.
Because Eldest Princess Yong Le liked peach blossoms, countless peach trees were planted throughout the entire palace.
Now it was spring, and Eldest Princess Yong Le thought of the peach blossoms blooming in her separate palace, which is why she had especially co from the Imperial Palace to stay for a while.
The guards in the separate palace naturally could not compare to those in the Imperial Palace, but they were not sothing an ordinary household could rival.
To sneak past the guards’ watchful eyes and reach her residence showed extraordinary skill.
Without thinking, Gu Shengyin prepared to call soone over.
That person made no move, but who knew whether they might attack later?
She was not willing to leave the initiative in soone else’s hands.
But the system stopped her.
"Host, you cannot touch that person."
Gu Shengyin was puzzled: "Why not? Do you know him?"
The system replied: "This person is the future Emperor of Heavenly Dragon Dynasty."
Gu Shengyin: "..."
She was sowhat surprised.
If she rembered correctly, the Emperor of Heavenly Dragon had just passed away and issued a decree to enthrone the Crown Prince Long Xiao, who was currently leading troops outside.
So, how did this Crown Prince, who would beco the new Emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, end up here in distant Da Qing?
However...
She recalled in the original storyline, Eldest Princess Yong Le encountered an injured man in her separate palace.
She just didn’t know that man would later beco the Emperor of Heavenly Dragon, but Long Xiao knew her identity.
This explained why Long Xiao recognized Eldest Princess Yong Le.
