Cold-Blooded Seventh and Cold-Blooded Fifth are currently observing the surroundings, preparing to assassinate Princess Longji!
They had given up on Ye Lang, knowing he was of no help whatsoever in the assassination attempt. However, he was quite lucky to have arrived here unexpectedly, something the Cold-Blooded Group hadn't anticipated.
The Cold-Blooded Group had anticipated this would be a major challenge, but it turned out to be surprisingly simple!
Even though they had given up on Ye Lang, they never expected that something completely unexpected would happen to him next!
At that time, after surveying the environment, Cold-Blooded Fifth prepared to equip himself, only to find Ye Lang motionless inside the small satchel, holding a small snack in his hand.
At first, she thought Ye Lang was asleep, so she went over to kick Ye Lang awake, wanting to remind him not to sleep at this time and not to relax like this.
As a result, no matter how much she kicked, she couldn't wake him up; Ye Lang was still lying there motionless.
"Silly boy, what's wrong with you?" Cold-Blooded Fifth was a little puzzled. In the past, even if Ye Lang was sleeping very deeply, he would at least have some reaction (just a reaction, not an immediate awakening!), but now he had no reaction at all.
"Silly boy, why is your face so red? Have you been drinking?" Cold-Blooded Fifth suddenly noticed that Ye Lang was drunk, but the problem was that she hadn't seen Ye Lang pick up any alcohol, and Ye Lang never touched alcohol.
"Snacks? This is Drunken Heart Cake... You little fool, you can even get drunk from this?" Cold-Blooded Fifth noticed that the snack Ye Lang was holding was a kind of snack containing alcohol, but very little alcohol.
It seems that Ye Lang gets drunk after just a sip of alcohol, a fact that many people know!
Cold-Blooded Fifth Ye Lang Ye Lang say that he couldn't drink alcohol because he would get drunk as soon as he drank. She just didn't expect Ye Lang to be so straightforward and get drunk even from this.
What do we do now?
"Cold-Blooded Seventh, we're in trouble..." Cold-Blooded Fifth poked his head out and whispered to Cold-Blooded Seventh, "Do you have any hangover cures?"
"What's wrong? What's the trouble? What do you need hangover medicine for?" Cold-Blooded Seventh asked, somewhat puzzled.
"That little idiot is drunk, we can't wake him up no matter what we do!" Cold-Blooded Fifth replied weakly.
"Drunk? Are you kidding me? There's no wine here," Cold-Blooded Seventh asked doubtfully. There was no wine around, and she hadn't seen the Puppet Girl take any.
"Well... he ate the Drunken Heart Cake, just a tiny bite..." Cold-Blooded Fifth said.
"Drunken Heart Cake, and just a small bite, and you're already drunk? Are you kidding me?" Cold-Blooded Seventh asked suspiciously. This matter did indeed seem a bit unbelievable.
"Do you think I would lie to you?!" Cold-Blooded Fifth said coldly.
"No... it's just too unbelievable!!" Cold-Blooded Seventh replied. She believed that Cold-Blooded Fifth would never lie, especially not in a situation like this!
"I've heard him mention it, but I didn't expect that he would get drunk from just a little bit! Do you have any hangover cures?" Cold-Blooded Fifth continued to ask.
"No, who would have that? If anyone does, that little brat definitely does!" Cold-Blooded Seventh said.
"What do we do now? Although we don't need this puppet, we still need some cover. This will also attract attention, and we might be exposed! This little idiot, why does he always cause such inexplicable situations?!" Cold-Blooded Fifth felt increasingly helpless and was both annoyed and amused by Ye Lang.
"Alright, let him stay here for now. We'll cover for him, and then we'll deal with Princess Longji. As long as I don't expose myself, he'll be fine. Nobody will notice him!" Cold-Blooded Seventh said.
If Cold-Blooded Fifth's assassination attempt succeeds, even if she is discovered, no one will suspect that anyone present is guilty, because someone so small could easily blend in.
If she isn't discovered, and Ye Lang's Puppet Girl remains motionless, coupled with the chaotic scene, no one will notice her, much less suspect her!
"That's all we can do! This little idiot..." Cold-Blooded Fifth said, giving Ye Lang a light slap, but Ye Lang didn't react at all.
Ye Lang remained drunk and asleep, seemingly oblivious to the world around him, completely isolated from it!
Of course, things continued to develop in the outside world. Almost all the people attending the royal banquet had arrived. This was a gathering of the central figures of power in the Vermilion Bird Empire. Except for some people who could not leave their posts and some people with special reasons, everyone who could come had arrived.
Meanwhile, Princess Longji did not seem to have arrived yet. Even though Vermilion Bird Emperor and Empress Dowager had said they would celebrate with the people, and even though the whole city had begun the birthday banquet, she did not seem to have arrived.
This situation was already commonplace for the royal family and the officials, as it wasn't the first time it had happened!
A small number of people knew the reason why Princess Longji was late. It wasn't just because she had a lot of things to do. Even if she did, she could have made it in time if she had arranged things properly.
However, Princess Longji deliberately stayed a little later, simply because she did not want to speak with the Royal Faction, and even more so, she did not want anyone to see the discord among her brothers and sisters!
In the past, whenever she came to attend this birthday banquet or other occasions, other people would come and bother her, and the Imperial Prince would also argue with her. She was tired of this, so she simply chose to be late.
Princess Longji is also a free spirit. Sometimes she doesn't care about other people's opinions and just does what she likes. Of course, this is only when it doesn't cause any harm.
And she has the ability to be as carefree as she wants. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to talk about her abilities, but they would talk about her abilities and wouldn't do it over such a trivial matter!
However, being late doesn't mean she won't arrive, so she'll be there sooner or later!
"Princess Longji has arrived..."
This time, Princess Longji arrived not long after the banquet began, which was earlier than everyone had estimated.
Princess Longji's appearance drew everyone's attention to her. As usual, their gazes were held for a long time before they reluctantly looked away.
"Princess Longji is just as beautiful as she is in the teleportation scene, it's enough to make one jealous!" Cold-Blooded Seventh said softly as he looked at the Puppet Girl and unconsciously made comparisons.
The Puppet Girl is perfect, even surpassing Princess Longji in perfection, but Princess Longji possesses a unique charm that completely outshines the Puppet Girl.
This is something that everyone finds strange, but Cold-Blooded Seventh thinks is perfectly normal, because the Puppet Girl is a puppet, and she doesn't have the kind of temperament that ordinary people would have to some extent.
