Chapter 915: Chapter 915: Falling into the Trap

"Come here," beckoned Madam Wang with a curl of her finger.

Yuyu approached with a puzzled expression, leaning her ear close to Madam Wang.

With her cherry red lips, Madam Wang whispered a profusion of words into her ear.

Yuyu’s face turned crimson: "Madam, isn’t this inappropriate?"

"Do you want to be with Guard Long or not?"

"Of course, I do."

"Then do as I say."

After contemplating for a moment, Yuyu bit her lip, as if making a significant decision: "Yes, Yuyu shall follow Madam’s arrangements."

"Now that’s a good girl. Rest assured, if you become a couple, I’ll give you a grand gift."

"Thank you, Lady Xie."

"Mhm!"

As evening fell, a bright moon hung at the edge of the sky.

Long Yi, having hurriedly finished his dinner in his room, was just about to stand up to go on duty for the Prince, when he saw a maid rushing over with a food container.

"Guard Long, are you having your meal?"

"Yes! I’ve already finished." Long Yi recognized her as Madam Wang’s personal Maid and wondered to himself why she had come.

"Coincidentally, I have been practicing two new dishes, and I would like you to try them and see how well they’re cooked. If they’re delicious, I’ll prepare them for the Prince next time."

Hearing that these dishes were intended for the Prince, Long Yi stopped in his tracks, showing great interest, and asked: "Really? Then I must try them."

Seeing the usually aloof Long Yi not only speaking to her but also willing to taste the dishes, Yuyu was delighted. Madam Wang’s tactic was indeed effective.

She deftly presented two beautifully arranged dishes from the container.

One was stir-fried frog, and the other was osmanthus-flavored shark fins.

Both dishes were arranged exquisitely.

At first glance, Long Yi couldn’t quite discern what ingredients were used in the dishes. Only after a careful look did he recognize them.

"You...?"

Although he knew she was Madam Wang’s personal Maid and that they saw each other daily, Long Yi really did not know her name.

"Hehe! Guard Long, nobles do tend to be forgetful. My name is Yuyu, I’m Madam Wang’s personal Maid."

"Oh! So you’re Miss Yuyu!" Long Yi feigned realization, although in fact, he had always known she was the maid of Madam Wang, just not her name.

"Don’t be so formal with ’Miss.’ It sounds so distant! Just call me maid Yuyu. We all serve under the Prince, so let’s not stand on ceremony."

"Alright! Alright!"

Long Yi was preoccupied with thoughts of his Master. He picked up his chopsticks and quickly grabbed a piece of frog meat, popping it into his mouth and chewing a few times.

"Guard Long, how does it taste?"

"Not bad at all, very good. Miss Yuyu, you have great culinary skills!" Long Yi replied absentmindedly.

"Then have a few more pieces," Yuyu said, placing several more pieces into his bowl.

"No, Miss Yuyu. I must be on duty tonight for the Prince!"

"It’s just a meal, it won’t take much of your Kung Fu. Come on, I’ve also prepared a flask of liquor for you!" she said, rummaging through the food container and pulling out a bottle of Maotai liquor from the bottom.

This move was taught by Madam Wang.

First, they would give Long Yi the Bewitching Powder, followed by a flask of liquor. Even if Long Yi sobered up the next day, he would assume he had merely gotten drunk and not suspect that he was drugged.

After all, they lived under the same roof and would have to continue getting along; it would not do to let the relationship become too strained.

Long Yi waved his hands and said, "No, no, I really must be on duty for the Prince, so I cannot drink."
