After I transmigrated, the cold king clung to me every day.

Chapter 279 Lin Qianqian and Xiao Die Escape from the Ninth Prince's Mansion

At the door of Lin Qianqian's room, two guards stood upright like tall pine trees, guarding her on both sides.

They kept their eyes fixed straight ahead, concentrating intently on fulfilling their duties and safeguarding the peace within the house.

Suddenly, a piercing groan of pain came from the inner room: "Ouch, it hurts so much! Someone help me!" The voice seemed to be torn apart by excruciating pain, filled with unbearable agony, instantly shattering the surrounding tranquility.

At that moment, Lin Qianqian, standing in front of the table, had a sudden inspiration. She and Xiao Die looked at each other and exchanged meaningful smiles. They glanced at the traps above and on the ground, and then put on a show together.

Xiaodie, hiding behind the door, waited for her chance. She pretended to be anxious, her voice trembling with tears, and deliberately said loudly, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"

Outside the door, two guards exchanged a glance, lost in thought. One of them called out towards the inner room, "What's wrong, Your Highness? What happened?"

From inside the room came Lin Qianqian's pained voice again: "My stomach hurts so much! I can't take it anymore! Help!"

The other guard, more vigilant, called out towards the inner room, "Princess, don't try anything funny. We won't open the door for you without the Prince's orders!"

Lin Qianqian and Xiao Die exchanged a glance, a fleeting hint of panic in their eyes, which they quickly concealed, replaced by Lin Qianqian's calm and composed demeanor.

She let out a soft groan and began to wail loudly. The sound grew louder and more miserable, each groan seemingly drawing out all her strength, sending chills down one's spine and making one feel that she might faint at any moment.

Gradually, her voice grew weaker and weaker, until finally there was no sound at all.

Immediately afterward, Xiaodie's voice trembled slightly and was choked with sobs: "Your Highness! What's wrong! Someone, Your Highness has fainted!"

Upon hearing this news, the two guards could no longer hold back. After exchanging a glance, they immediately pushed open the door. "Your Highness, what's wrong... Ah!"

Before they could finish speaking, they suddenly felt their feet sink into the ground, instantly triggering a pre-arranged mechanism inside the house. A large net rapidly descended from above, tightly wrapping around the two of them. Then, the ropes tightened sharply, suspending them high in the air.

The two guards struggled in terror, their bodies swaying back and forth in the air, letting out pig-like screams: "What's going on! Put us down!"

"Quiet! Don't shout, or I'll kill you right now!" Lin Qianqian roared to stop them, and only then did the two dare not shout anymore.

With lightning speed, Xiaodie rushed over and closed the door the instant the two guards were hoisted up, quickly locking it.

At this moment, Lin Qianqian put her hands on her hips, a smug smile on her face, as if announcing the perfect success of the plan. Her eyes gleamed with a cunning and excited light as she watched the two big fish finally fall into the net.

Lin Qianqian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mischievous smile that was barely perceptible. She winked at Xiaodie, who immediately understood and quickly walked to the mechanism, gently lowering the two of them from the height.

Although they were released, the two guards were still tightly bound by ropes, unable to move their hands and feet, and could only writhe awkwardly on the ground.

Lin Qianqian approached them with light steps, feigning an innocent yet slightly apologetic expression, and said, "You two, I'm so sorry, please don't blame me~ I really had no other choice but to resort to this tactic, I'm so sorry~"

Immediately afterwards, Lin Qianqian took out a delicate little porcelain bottle from her bosom, poured out two dark pills, which were sleeping pills she had prepared beforehand, and waved them in front of the two of them, her eyes even more unfathomable.

Upon seeing this, the two guards' faces instantly filled with terror, their eyes widening in disbelief. One of them cried out in a sob, "Your Highness, what are you doing? We were just following orders! Please, have mercy on us!"

The other one struggled desperately, pleading loudly, "Yes, Your Highness, please be magnanimous and spare us! We have no ill intentions towards you!"

Lin Qianqian remained unmoved. She gently shook her head, a half-smile on her face, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, you two. Take this medicine, sleep it off, and you'll be fine when you wake up." Her voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, but her words carried an unyielding firmness.

With a confident smile on her face, Lin Qianqian walked lightly to the two guards, squatted down, and with seemingly gentle movements, fed them sleeping pills.

After the two took the pills, she slowly stood up, a slight smile curving her lips into a confident and carefree arc, her smile revealing the joy of breaking free from constraints.

Seeing this, Xiaodie quickly walked to Lin Qianqian's side, looked up at her mistress with admiration and following in her eyes, as if to say, "Miss, whatever the plan, I will firmly support you."

The two stood there quietly, the air thick with tension and excitement. They stared intently at the guard, waiting for the drug to take effect.

Before long, the two guards felt drowsiness wash over them like a tidal wave. Their consciousness gradually blurred, their eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and their bodies swayed uncontrollably. Finally, they collapsed to the ground in a daze and fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Qianqian and Xiaodie exchanged a glance. Lin Qianqian's eyes were firm, and her tone was decisive: "Xiaodie, let's do it!" Her eyes flashed with a do-or-die courage, as if declaring her desire for freedom.

Xiaodie nodded vigorously and replied crisply, "Mmm!" Her voice was soft, but it was full of energy.

The master and servant immediately sprang into action, quickly removing the clothes of the two guards.

Lin Qianqian unfolded the guard's robe and put it on neatly. Although the guard's uniform was a bit too big on her, she skillfully adjusted the hem and tightened the belt, which gave her a unique air of heroism.

Xiaodie quickly changed into the guard's clothes, trying her best to imitate the guard's posture to conceal her true gender.

After getting dressed, the two hunched their shoulders, lowered their heads slightly, and tiptoed stealthily towards the outside of the Prince's Mansion.

He walked carefully, afraid of making the slightest noise and attracting the attention of others.

They clung to the walls, using the dim light to navigate the intricate corridors of the palace, running towards freedom.
