[Comprehensive wear] You will get used to it

Halfway through the ball, most of the people in the ballroom were dancing. Because the ball was held in a hurry, Duke Louis only invited the residents of Saumur. It was a dance party, so everyone let go of dancing and laughing.

Yang Yi, Duke Louis, and Mr. Henri de Foix didn't have the slightest bit of quality to dance a single step, and the three of them sat on the sofa and chatted all the time.It's not that they really don't like dancing at all, but none of the ladies of Saumer City can make them feel like dancing.In the words of Duke Louis, just look at what they are wearing, not as good as my maid, and look at their awkward postures, monkeys dance better than them, I will never face them Dancing.

"Louis, this is definitely the worst ball you've ever held in your life." Mr. Henry de Foix said to Duke Louis, looking at the messy dancers.

"I'm all here to celebrate you, but it's also very interesting, isn't it? Look at their dancing postures, don't they look like the marionettes we saw before? It's extremely crappy." Duke Louis said, holding a glass of wine. People who he doesn't pay attention to are regarded as clowns, which is not much different from dolls. Those nobles are exquisite and beautiful masterworks in his eyes, and the people of Saumer City are probably those stupid people who have just started learning carving Apprentice's work.

"I think you'd better keep your voice down. These people are praising you in their hearts at the moment, but once they hear your analogy to them, they will definitely curse you in their hearts." Mr. Henry de Foix said, and then he pointed Pointing to Yang Yi, who was leaning on the arm of the sofa, looking like he was about to fall asleep, "And among those people you mentioned are probably Mr. Grandet's family and friends."

Yang Yi was a little sleepy. When he heard Mr. Henri de Foix mentioning his name, he half-opened his eyes with difficulty and said: "It's okay, my father didn't dance, and you can say whatever else you want."

The Duke of Louisville regretted his words as soon as he finished speaking. After all, no one wants to hear others say that about their family and friends. Fortunately, Yang Yi doesn't care, but think about it. Mr. Langtai, a father who can make him develop feelings so quickly, other people should still be completely strangers to him.

"The song is coming to an end, Sidney, do you really not think about dancing? Here are three ladies who want you to invite them!"

"They are relatives of the De Grassens family and the Crochet family. Before I came, both of them were courteously approaching my sister. After I came, they began to approach both of us at the same time." Yang Yi shook his head and said. , picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip of the wine, hoping that the alcohol would make him sober. It would be too rude to fall asleep while attending someone else's ball, and Duke Louis would definitely take it as a joke.

"For the sake of gold coins?" Duke Louis asked.

"Yes, for the sake of gold coins."

The music stopped after Yang Yi's voice fell, followed by a short break. The two nieces of the Crochet family and the cousin of the De Grassan family seemed a little ready to get close, and Yang Yi held his hands Sighing on his forehead, he asked Duke Louis, "Is there a place for a quiet rest here?"

"Of course, you can go upstairs and rest in the drawing room. Do you want to go now?"

"As soon as possible." Yang Yi pursed his lips, and he saw that the three ladies were already approaching here.

Charles took Eugenie to a dance at Eugenie's request, and Eugenie sat on the stool excitedly and said: "Cousin, this is really wonderful, I never knew that dancing can make people feel so happy , I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy in my life.”

"Otherwise, why would people like the ball so much!" Charles said absently, stroking the amethyst ring with his fingers.

"Cousin, wasn't my dance just now particularly ugly?" Eugenie gasped.

Charles was a little impatient, he hadn't put his mind on dancing at all just now, how could he know if she danced well or not.He glanced at Eugenie, wanting to prevent her from asking these boring questions, but when he saw her, Charles' eyes could not help but froze for a moment.

Eugenie's eyes were bright and full of love from excitement and the excitement of facing her beloved, and her cheeks flushed shyly from the heat after exercise, and they were carefully groomed for today's ball. After a while, this made her look several times better than usual.Although her appearance was still far from being comparable to those noble ladies, but the vigorous air that belonged to a pure young girl was something that Charles, who was used to seeing noble ladies who liked to pretend to be weak, was moved for a moment.

It's a pity that Xia Er doesn't have the mind to think about those romantic things now. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Yang Yi and the three walking out of the ballroom, and said quickly: "Cousin, I'm going to find my friend. Excuse me."

"Oh, then hurry up and go," said Eugenie at once.

Charles followed Yang Yi and the others at a distance, and when he saw them going upstairs, he leaned his back against the corner of the corridor and took a few deep breaths, wanting to follow.

"Sir, what are you doing here? This is not a place for guests to rest!" A servant with three glasses of whiskey came over and stopped Charles.

"I saw my cousin go up, I want to talk to him about something." Charles said.

"Who is your cousin?"

"Sidney Grandet, I saw him go up with His Royal Highness the Duke and Mr. Henri de Foix."

"Yes, but that's because Mr. Grandet Jr. was invited. Without the Duke's invitation, others can't just go up there." The servant said.

"But, but I have something very important to tell him." Charles said anxiously. The purpose of his visit today was Duke Louis. Unfortunately, except for the first greeting when Duke Louis and Yang Yi were talking. Well, he didn't find a chance to get close to Duke Louis all night, that's not okay, he has to find a chance.

"No, it is absolutely impossible for me to let you in without an invitation." The manservant said, but seeing the anxious expression on Charles' face, he thought that he was really looking for Yang Yi in a hurry, so he thought for a while and said: "Well, I'm about to deliver the wine, can I tell Mr. Grandet for you?"

"Thank you so much." Charles thanked immediately, but soon he realized that he should not go up, because what he was about to do was so dangerous, he didn't know what to do, seeing the servant When he was about to go upstairs, he suddenly grasped his stomach in a hurry, and said with a look of extreme pain: "Oh, my stomach hurts, can you help me get a glass of warm water?"

"Sir, what's the matter with you, do you want me to call for a doctor?" Charles sweated a lot on his face due to anxiety, and he frowned tightly, looking really painful, which scared the servant Jumping, he quickly put the tray in his hand on the cabinet next to him, helped Charles to a stool and sat down.

"No... no, don't bother. This is an old problem. My stomach is not very good. It hurts like this from time to time. Just give me a glass of warm water and let me rest here quietly. It will be fine." Charles said, he just wanted to get rid of the servants now, he didn't have any stomach pains at all, and if the doctor came, he would be exposed.

"Okay then, please wait here for a while, I'll go and pour you warm water right away," said the manservant.

"Okay, I'll rest here." Charles nodded while clutching his stomach.

The servant left immediately. Charles looked at the three identical glasses of wine on the small cabinet next to him, hesitated for a while, broke off the gemstone on the purple gemstone ring, and carefully sprinkled the white powder inside. in each cup.

Charles was full of guilt and guilt. After all, his task tonight was just to drug Duke Louis. He didn't need to hurt other people, but he didn't know that the glass of wine would be drunk by Duke Louis. I have to feel sorry for my cousin and Mr. Henri de Foix who I don't know, but as long as Duke Louis agrees to the request of the Bourbon family, they will soon get the antidote.And he will get the position of baron because of the perfect completion of the task, so in fact, everyone has nothing to lose. Anyway, Adrian said that the land illegally occupied by the Duke of Record Search originally belonged to the Bourbon family.

Besides, the three of Yang Yi didn't meet a servant or maid all the way up the stairs. After entering the living room, Mr. Henri de Foix said: "Louis, you should be more careful, have you forgotten the news I brought you?" Did you, the Bourbon family has been eyeing you all the time but you don’t take it to heart at all, there is not even a single servant upstairs!"

"Henry Henry, this is my house. Do you really think that the people from the Bourbon family would come to the door with such no brains? Besides, there are so many servants waiting at the door, I guarantee that no suspicious person will sneak in!" Duke Louis said.

"Could it be that the words 'I am a suspicious person' are engraved on the foreheads of suspicious people? You are completely unfamiliar with the people in Saumer City, how do you know that these people are all innocent!" Henry De Mr. Foix was very angry at Duke Louis' indifferent attitude. Why did he leave the good life in Paris and come to him overnight!

Yang Yi listened in a daze, and asked: "Gentlemen, please tell me if I shouldn't listen to what you said, if that's the case, then I should go to another room to avoid it." gone."

"No, he doesn't care at all anyway." Mr. Henry de Foix said angrily.

"You are always so sentimental, dear Henry, if they want to come, let them come. Don't be timid. Once you are timid, the enemy will become stronger. This is wrong."

Duke Louis waved his hand and sat on the sofa carelessly, but Yang Yi saw the vigilant look in his eyes. He realized that he seemed to be involved in something bad, but since he heard There was no way for him to get out of their conversation.

At this time, the servant brought three glasses of wine, and Mr. Henri de Foix took one hastily. He kept walking up and down the room, angry at the carelessness of Duke Louis.

Duke Louis raised his glass and smiled at Mr. Henri de Foix, who had a very ugly expression, and took a shallow sip of the wine in the glass.

Then he frowned, and moved his cheeks a few times with the sip of wine in his mouth.

"What's wrong with this wine?" Yang Yi picked up the wine glass and shook it, smelled it, and there seemed to be no peculiar smell, then he dipped a little bit with his finger and tasted it.Yang Yi used to be a good potion master, and all potion masters have a very good sense of smell and taste. He almost found something in the wine glass as soon as he tasted it.

He spat and called, "Louis, spit it out."

Duke Louis immediately spit out the wine in his mouth, rinsed his mouth a few times with the water in the jug next to him, and asked, "Is there something in it that shouldn't exist?"

"Yes."

Mr. Henri de Foix let go of the wine glass in his hand and asked, "Poison?"

"I don't know." Yang Yi pursed his lips.

Duke Louis picked up his wine glass and walked downstairs quickly. Yang Yi and Mr. Henri de Foix followed behind him until they walked to a small room behind the kitchen.

"Louis, what's in it?" Mr. Henry de Foix asked.

"Let us know what's in the wine." Duke Louis said, and he pushed open the door of the room.

There were several rows of shelves in that room, and each shelf was filled with cages, and each cage contained a few mice, and there were at least a hundred mice in it.Yang Yi knew what these mice were used for at a glance. Westerners like to use mice to test medicines, but it is still very scary to see hundreds of mice appearing in front of them.

"Oh, God!" exclaimed Mr. Henri de Foix, "Why are there so many rats here!"

Duke Louis smiled at him, walked to the nearest cage, and poured all the wine in the glass on the mice. Within a minute, the mice began to twitch and vomit blood, and then screamed died.
