Freya pretended to stroll around the courtyard, but her eyes were fixed on the direction from which the whistle sound had come, and it was right in this courtyard.

That is to say, the person sent by Bradley was lurking here.

Just as Freya was about to go out and search, a cough suddenly came from among the guards, and her attention was immediately drawn to it.

There were a total of four people sent by Yuan Xiao to guard her, standing on both sides of the door respectively.

Freya squinted her eyes and carefully observed these guards. Finally, her gaze fell on the guard who was sneezing.

The other person kept his head down all the time, but his hands on both sides of his body suddenly made a gesture towards her.

At that moment, Freya understood.

This was the person sent by Bradley.

Although he had disguised himself, Freya could still tell his identity.

It was Shadow, Bradley's right-hand man!

She pretended not to see anything and approached casually. Then she cleared her throat and said, "You don't have to keep guarding me all the time. You can walk around occasionally!"

As she spoke, she passed in front of Shadow, and her hand secretly took the wolf tooth jade whistle he handed over.

Then, she clenched it tightly in her palm.

She was extremely vigilant throughout the whole process and cleverly avoided the surveillance, so no one would see it.

All the guards maintained their original postures. In response to Freya's words, they said in unison, "We dare not!"

But Freya smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? No one can stand maintaining the same posture for 24 hours!"

The guards looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word.

They were all professionally trained guards, and their task was to obey their master's orders. Before the master gave an order, they had to stick to their posts and not leave without permission!

So in the face of Freya's words, none of them dared to move.

Seeing how stubborn they were, Freya didn't say anything more and turned back to the room.

After closing the door, she immediately opened her palm, and the familiar wolf tooth jade whistle lay in it.

Freya opened the mechanism of the jade whistle and took out a small note and an ultra-mini earphone from it.

As long as it was hidden in the ear, no one could find it.

Freya opened the note first, which had the instructions for using the earphone. Then she put the earphone in her ear and turned on the call function.

Suddenly, Bradley's familiar voice came into her ears.

"Freya!"

At that moment, all the longing surged like a surging wave.

Freya's tears couldn't help falling down at this time.

Even her voice was extremely hoarse. "I'm here!"

"How are you?"

Bradley was obviously also extremely excited. Coupled with not having slept for several days and nights, his voice couldn't hide his fatigue.

Freya pursed her lips and let out a hum. "I'm fine. How about you? How's your injury?"

Bradley also gave her an answer to set her mind at ease. "Yun Xiangcheng and Mi Luo came together. They have already controlled my condition, and it's nothing serious!"

Upon hearing this, Freya felt much more relieved.

As long as Bradley was okay, everything was fine!

"The earphone has been successfully given to you. I'm afraid Shadow will expose his identity if he stays for too long. I'll ask him to evacuate today. Can you manage on your own?"

Freya nodded heavily. "Don't worry, I can do it."

The existence of this earphone was equivalent to providing a channel for her to keep in touch with Bradley at any time. There was really no point in Shadow staying, and once he was exposed, he would inevitably bring about a fatal disaster.

After all, this was the palace of the Yuan Kingdom. The more people there were, the more dangerous it would be.

"By the way, I just gave Shadow a small packet of powder. Ask someone to test the ingredients as soon as possible. I suspect that Yuan Xiao is trying to control me with this kind of incense powder!"

When she took the wolf tooth jade whistle just now, Freya also gave the incense to Shadow by the way.

Although she knew that there was something wrong with the incense, she didn't know what its ingredients were, so she couldn't take targeted precautions.

Upon hearing this, Bradley asked seriously, "What kind of incense?"

Freya briefly told him the situation. "Yuan Xiao said that there are several very powerful perfumers in the palace. Incense can be a medicine, but it can also be a poison. On the one hand, Yuan Xiao wants to use me to lure you out, but I always feel that his real purpose is not simple. So I think it's better to be careful!"

Bradley nodded. "Okay, I'll ask the testing agency to speed up and give you the answer early tomorrow morning."

Freya nodded and was about to say something more when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside.

Thinking that it might be the maid coming back, she quickly said, "I won't talk to you for now. Someone is coming."

"Okay, be careful!"

Bradley didn't say much more and quickly ended the call.

Freya quickly took off the earphone and hid it in the pillow. Then she lay on the bed and pretended to rest as if nothing had happened.

When the maid knocked on the door, she said "come in", and the maid took the initiative to push the door open.

Seeing Freya lying on the bed, the maid quickly asked, "Is there something wrong with you, Miss? Do you need me to call a doctor?"

Freya said, "No need. I'm just sleepy and want to sleep."

Upon hearing this, a hint of deep thought flashed in the maid's eyes. Then she brought a bowl of medicinal soup. "This is the medicinal soup that the prince ordered to be decocted. He said it can nourish the blood and qi. Miss, drink it while it's hot."

Upon hearing this, Freya let out a hum. "Leave it there. I'll drink it later."

But the maid reminded, "The prince said that this medicine should be taken warm to achieve the best effect. If it gets cold, it will have no effect."

Just now, when the maid went to the kitchen to get food, she happened to meet Yuan Xiao, who gave her a packet of medicine.

He ordered her to decoct it into a bowl of water and then bring it to Freya to drink.

And he personally instructed that she must watch Freya finish drinking it before leaving.

How dare the maid disobey the prince's order? She could only urge Freya to drink it quickly.

Freya squinted her eyes, but she didn't make things difficult for the maid anymore. She took the medicinal soup and smelled it.

As a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, she was extremely sensitive to the smell of traditional Chinese medicine. Although other materials were used in the medicinal soup to cover up the smell of the raw materials, Freya sensitively smelled the fragrance of the hypnotic drug.

This was not something for nourishing blood and qi at all. It was clearly a bowl of poison!

But Freya showed a calm expression and drank the medicinal soup clean.

Seeing this, the maid showed a relieved smile. "This is the afternoon tea prepared for you, Miss. Please enjoy it slowly. I won't disturb your rest."

After saying that, the maid left with the empty bowl.

After the door was closed, Freya rushed to the bathroom, pinched her acupoints to induce vomiting, and vomited out all the medicine she had just drunk.

Although she had drunk some of it more or less, a small amount of poison wouldn't have much impact on her body.

After vomiting, Freya rinsed her mouth and then came to the table to eat.

After vomiting, she was weak, and what's more, she had used a lot of force just now to force herself to vomit out the medicinal soup.

If she didn't eat something at this time, she was afraid that her body wouldn't be able to bear it.
