Princess Anping and her entourage entered Nahe City in a high-profile manner, which naturally attracted the attention of the dignitaries of the Luopan Kingdom, especially the long dowry team of Princess Daqian, which made them see a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. However, the protection of the third prince's personal guards made them feel that something was wrong.

When well-informed people learned that Prince Luolu was carried into the palace, there were many speculations, and for a time, they paid more attention to Princess Anping who lived next to the third prince's residence.

After Lianyi entered the three-story courtyard, she said to Fulin:
"Before Luo Lu comes back, we'd better bring all the food and supplies in the mansion ourselves, and keep my dowry safe. We are not allowed to go out unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Yes, I understand."

After Fulin left, Lianyi said to Yuejue and Yuelang:

"Before Luolu married me personally, I was just a princess of Daqian. Some people will definitely come to test my bottom line. Those who break in privately will be killed! The bodies will be buried in the back garden to add some fertilizer to the flowers."

Yue Jue and Yue Lang looked at each other and immediately bowed and said:
"My slave understands!"

"Remember, don't make too much noise. It's best to be quiet."

Ripple added.

"Yes, princess!"

"Yuejue, tell Sundial that after entering Nahe City, send someone to contact the people who stayed in Nahe City to find out the news about King Luo Pan. It is best if the people you send do not show up, so as to test their reactions first."

"The servant understands."

"Okay, now that I've checked the house and found nothing wrong, I'll clean it up and rest first."

"Yes, princess!"

After the two men responded, they left the third courtyard.

Lianyi then instructed Duoduo:

"It's going to be a lot of fun tonight, so keep an eye on it and don't let any fish slip through the net and jump in front of me."

Duoduo happily shook the flower plate and asked:

"Master, do you want to kill these people?"

"Don't be so murderous. Throw these people back to where they came from."

"Yes, Duoduo understands."

Lianyi rested well that night. When Yuejue and Yuelang came to help her change clothes and wash up in the morning, they were both full of energy. Lianyi asked casually:
"Was it lively last night?"

"To answer your question, Princess, it was very lively last night. Four groups of people came and went, but we cleared them all out. We didn't even let them into the backyard."

"Well done. Go to my jewelry box and pick out a piece of jewelry each. This will be my reward to you."

Ripple said without hesitation.

"Thank you princess for the reward."

Both of them had smiles on their faces, hoping that there would be more people who would risk their lives like this.

"Is there any news from the Third Prince's Mansion?"

Ripple asked as she looked in the mirror.

"I have noticed that Prince Luolu and his personal guard Luotang did not return home last night."

Yue Jue immediately replied in a low voice.

"No news is good news. If nothing unexpected happens, Prince Luolu should have news today."

As Lianyi spoke, she selected a set of red coral headdress and asked Yuelang to put it on her.

"Yes, I will pay more attention to it."

At this time, the two powerful families in Nahe City and the eldest prince and the second prince all received bad news. The people they sent to "investigate" Princess Anping's situation had disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead.

"It seems that this Princess Anping is very popular with the Third Prince. She has already protected him before he even entered the mansion." "The Third Prince is not in the mansion. Perhaps this is the trick of this Princess Anping?"

"She has only been in the city for one day. It's hard to say anything about this. Let's observe for a while before making any decisions."

The two princes did not care about the loss of a few men. What they cared about was their third brother who had not come out since entering the palace. Moreover, when they entered the palace later, they were turned away. This was obviously beyond their expectations. Moreover, it was not easy for them to take action now, after all, there were too many people watching them.

It was noon when Luo Lu was carried back to his mansion. After Luo Tang sent his master back to the mansion, he immediately turned around and went to the house next door to deliver a message to Lian Yi.

"Princess Anping, my prince has sent a subordinate to reply that things are going smoothly and asked the princess to be patient. When his injuries are better, he will bring the princess to the palace to see the king and give the princess a grand wedding."

After hearing this, Lianyi smiled and said:

"Okay, I believe that the Third Prince is a man who keeps his promises. I will wait patiently. After the wedding, Guard Liu will return to Daqian to report. I hope you don't keep me waiting too long."

"Yes, I will definitely convey the princess's words."

After Luo Tang left, Lianyi summoned Liu Xuan.

"Guard Liu, you cannot leave Nahe City for the time being. You can only set off to return to Daqian after the ceremony here is completed."

Liu Xuan asked respectfully:
"Princess, is there any change?"

"There are some changes, but they are good things. Please wait."

"Yes, I understand!"

"There is one more thing. If there are people in the wedding procession who want to return to Daqian, you can take them with you when you return. The people around me are more valuable than the number. If there are too many people left, it will be easy to be suspected. This is Luopan Country, and they will not allow me to have too many people around me."

Lian Yi took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Yes, I understand!"

Liu Xuan immediately responded respectfully.

One night was enough for him to see a lot. Yue Jue and Yue Lang did not avoid them when they killed people. The cruel means and cleaning methods made his scalp tingle. Only then did he realize that Princess Anping was not a delicate flower in a greenhouse as rumored. She might be a carnivorous plant, and a well-disguised one at that.

After Liu Xuan left, Lianyi turned around and asked Yuejue:
"He is afraid of me."

"The princess is majestic, so he must be respectful."

Yue Jue said with a smile.

Duoduo transmitted the message at the right time:

"Master, when the two of them dealt with the black-clothed men who climbed over the wall, they did not avoid Guard Liu Xuan, and when they dealt with the corpses, they were a little bloody, which scared Guard Liu."

Lianyi then said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions. It was not a bad thing to make people respect you out of fear.

Three days later, King Luo Pan returned to court. For a moment, the entire Nahe city was shocked. Especially the courtiers who came to the court said that King Luo Pan had a ruddy complexion and was in high spirits. He could live at least another four or five years.

No one knew who spread the news that King Luo Pan was seriously ill, or what the purpose was, or why King Luo Pan cooperated and pretended to be sick. For a while, everyone was speculating on conspiracy theories.

Among them, the eldest and second princes were the most angry. The throne that was within their grasp just slipped away. Others might not know, but the two of them who were taking care of their father by his bedside knew best that their father was indeed on the verge of death and it was not something he could pretend.

"Brother, could it be that Father did this on purpose, just to test us?"

The second prince Luo Lu said uncertainly.

The calm eldest prince Luo Duo shook his head and said:

"It's hard to say, but my father was able to attend the court only after meeting my third brother. This matter must be related to my third brother."

"Brother, what should we do now? Father has kept us out of the palace for three days in a row."

Luo Lu said with some concern.

"Don't worry. We don't know whether Father's body is completely healed or it's just an illusion created by the special medicine. Let's wait and see for now." (End of this chapter)
