Following the usual experience of watching palace intrigue novels, it wouldn't be long before someone would rush in with a panicked expression, shouting, "This is bad, this is bad, County Princess Mu Jin she..."
Then they would lead a group of people to find County Princess Mu Jin, no matter what happened, it would be perfectly visible to everyone.
Wang Qingyao had to find County Princess Mu Jin before everyone else did.
The commotion among the female guests had already attracted the attention of the male guests. Prince Wu sent someone to inquire, and upon learning it concerned County Princess Mu Jin, he came over in person.
Madam Mu felt relieved and looked at her future son-in-law, saying, "Your Highness, please don't worry. Mu Jin is slow-paced, and this is her first time at Prince Wu's mansion, so she's not familiar with the way and is a bit late..." She glared at Wei Yu, "Miss Wei Er, please be mindful of your words."
As if to spite her, as soon as she finished speaking, Susu ran in with a panicked expression, gasping for breath and exclaiming, "This is bad, this is bad, County Princess Mu Jin she..."
The rest of her words seemed stuck in her throat due to her labored breathing.
Madam Mu's face turned ashen, and she anxiously grabbed Susu's hand, asking, "What happened to Mu Jin? What happened to Mu Jin?"
Susu panted, her face a mixture of panic and distress, as if she had something unspeakable to reveal.
Madam Mu grew even more anxious. Prince Wu said to Susu, "Just take us there directly!"
Susu hesitated and nodded, then led a group of people to see County Princess Mu Jin.
Madam Mu knew it was not good, but she couldn't afford to worry about that now.
Xiao Yun's attention was solely on his wife. Seeing Wang Qingyao quietly slip away, he also quietly followed.
"Yaoyao, what happened?"
Wang Qingyao saw it was Xiao Yun and quickly said, "County Princess Mu Jin might be in trouble, we need to find her as soon as possible." She didn't have time to explain what had happened and pointed to two paths, asking him to search separately.
Xiao Yun: "Can't you sense it? Splitting up is too much of a waste of time."
Wang Qingyao was stunned. Her clairvoyance was for seeing things up close; she had never tried it from a distance.
At this point, she could only try her best.
"I'll try," she said. "It's too far, I don't know if I can sense it."
With that, she concentrated and looked in one direction. Like watching a movie, scenes rushed towards her, the distant views becoming as close as if they were right in front of her.
The impact was too great, and Wang Qingyao felt a wave of dizziness.
Xiao Yun supported her and said with concern, "If you can't, don't force yourself."
"It's fine," Wang Qingyao said, "I'll try again."
Wang Qingyao knew very well that Prince Wu was likely to make an issue of County Princess Mu Jin's reputation.
In ancient times, a woman's chastity was paramount, more important than life itself. If those people found County Princess Mu Jin first, she would have no way out.
Wang Qingyao concentrated again, and this time she indeed found County Princess Mu Jin's whereabouts. Judging by the furnishings of the room, it was exactly the same as the guest room Susu had taken them to change clothes earlier, only the auspicious beast incense burner was missing.
"Found her," she said. "She's in the guest room Susu took us to before. Pearl, lead the way, quickly!"
Pearl immediately took the lead, with Xiao Yun supporting Wang Qingyao closely behind.
Xiao Yun kept looking at Wang Qingyao, her face a little pale and her spirit clearly low.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, just a little tired." Wang Qingyao vaguely understood it was a side effect of using her clairvoyance and didn't pay much attention to it.
They soon reached the door of the guest room. As Pearl pushed the door open, they saw County Princess Mu Jin and her two maids lying on the bed, their clothes disheveled, revealing their bodies in suggestive poses.
Xiao Yun and Yuan Bao quickly retreated outside the door.
Earlier, Wang Qingyao had been too focused on finding them to notice their posture.
Looking closely now, she instantly understood the scheme of Prince Wu and Wei Yu.
This was truly novel!
How could they have thought of this!
County Princess Mu Jin was not particularly beautiful, and she had a somewhat masculine appearance. If anyone saw her and her two personal maids in bed, disheveled and in intimate poses, anyone would misunderstand!
It was common for women in ancient times to find solace in each other. It was just that it was all kept hidden and never spoken of.
The love between women, like the love between men, was equally popular!
Wang Qingyao and Pearl quickly helped the three of them, County Princess Mu Jin and her maids, get dressed. The three of them had inhaled the aphrodisiac and were still unconscious.
Wang Qingyao: "Pearl, they inhaled the aphrodisiac. Is there a way to wake them up?"
Pearl looked at Wang Qingyao with admiration. How did the Princess know they had inhaled an aphrodisiac?
While thinking, she took out a small blue porcelain bottle from her waist, opened the lid, and waved it under the noses of County Princess Mu Jin and her maids.
As expected, County Princess Mu Jin and her maids murmured and gradually woke up.
County Princess Mu Jin's eyes were dazed for a moment, then gradually cleared. Seeing Wang Qingyao, tears immediately welled up: "Princess, I shouldn't have disobeyed you!"
She probably knew that something bad had happened, but she didn't understand the specifics.
Wang Qingyao didn't have time to explain in detail, only saying, "Susu is bringing people here soon, and we won't have time to leave. Listen to me..." She then said to the two maids, "You two listen carefully too."
County Princess Mu Jin was distraught, and nodded to everything Wang Qingyao said.
