Wen Yating is poisoned.

After a while, Wen Yating left the courtyard flying effortlessly through roofs when he heard a voice coming behind him. "Stop, who is there?!"

He continued to fly away in an attempt to escape but the person behind him ordered in a loud voice. "Intruder! There is an assassin in the palace! Men, catch him!"

Soon, he found himself dodging arrows in the air as the palace guards chased him relentlessly. He tried to maneuver his way around the palace since he was familiar with his surroundings but to his surprise, he discovered that all the gates had been shut so there was no way for him to escape. He was still running away when an arrow successfully pierced his shoulder. He grunted in pain and immediately retrieved a packet of powder and threw it in the air before he fled. 

This time, the guards were ordered to halt as they watched him escape. One of them turned to face Dai Jie. "Commander, he is running away! Shouldn't we chase him?"
