The daughter of the metaphysical fortune teller: she is the best at eating melons to prolong life

Chapter 273 Concubine Li is not your daughter

The stables of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion were not far away. Commander Lu, who was leading his Jinyiwei to dig for silver, heard the noise of fighting and immediately hurried back with his men.

Everyone is ready to fight.

I didn't expect that the thunder came so quickly and went away even faster.

After a loud bang, not only did the dense rain of arrows stop, but the dark clouds also quickly dissipated.

While everyone was still surprised, a series of bang bang sounds were heard immediately afterwards.

Everyone present watched helplessly as one human-shaped charcoal after another fell from the roof, dying beyond all possibility of death, their mouths opened in shock.

Although they didn't know what happened, both the Jinyiwei and the Ministry of Justice breathed a sigh of relief when the assassins were dead.

They were happy, but Yongchang Hou yelled at Xie Lan with bloodshot eyes, "Bitch, how dare you!"

Others were unaware and thought that the dead men in black were guards of the Yongchang Marquis's mansion. But in fact, they were the death squads raised by the Yongchang Marquis.

When he thought about how the warriors he had spent more than ten years and countless efforts to train were killed by Xie Lan, Yongchang Hou was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys ached.

He opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Xie Lan didn't even glance towards Yongchang Hou. After retracting his mysterious technique, he walked towards Xiao Jin.

After carefully examining him from head to toe, he found that he had no other injuries. He then looked at the arrow in his left arm, "Is the injury serious?"

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury, don't worry."

While Xie Lan was looking at her, Xiao Jin was also looking at her carefully. Seeing that little face, which used to look very healthy, turned pale, he felt a strong desire to kill Yongchang Hou for the first time.

The scene of the lightning strike just now was so shocking that many people have not yet recovered.

Even the guards of Yang Feng and Zhao Chong were still focusing on the black-clad assassins. It was not until they heard the conversation between the two that they realized that Xiao Jin was actually injured.

Lu Shun's face changed even more. Is this Yongchang Marquis crazy? He knew that the emperor had left the throne vacant even after more than 20 years of reign in order to make up for this woman, but he still dared to hurt him!
Lu Shun really wanted to chop off the Yongchang Marquis and feed him to the dogs. It would be fine if he wanted to die himself, but why did he want to drag others down with him!
Marquis Yongchang instigated the Fourth Prince to rebel and force the emperor to abdicate, embezzled money from the Ministry of Revenue, and secretly violated the court's regulations by raising assassins. Any of these offenses is punishable by death.

Since she was going to die anyway, Xie Lan naturally had to lend a helping hand to Yongchang Hou, so that he could die early and be reborn. Otherwise, how could she justify the assassination of those assassins?

After seeing Yang Feng help Xiao Jin pull out the arrow and then apply medicine and bandage him skillfully, Xie Lan turned to Zhao Chong and said, "Guard Zhao, please take me to the roof."

Zhao Chong was also angry that Yongchang Hou had people hurt Xiao Jin, and he wished that the emperor would sentence him to death. Just as he was about to nod in agreement, Xiao Jin stepped forward quickly and said, "I'll take you up."

Xie Lan wanted to refuse. Lord Xiao had been injured in order to protect her, so she couldn't trouble him again. But before she could open her mouth, Xiao Jin took her to the roof.

Now that he had already gone on, Xie Lan had nothing more to say.

Standing high up, Xie Lan had a panoramic view of the layout of the mansion. While observing the feng shui of the mansion, he raised his hand to calculate.

After reaching the roof, Xiao Jin let go of her hand, but stood silently behind her with his hands behind his back until Xie Lan finished the fortune-telling, and then took her down. Lu Shun couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, did you find it?"

Xie Lan nodded, "Found it, there are two more hidden silver sites."

Yongchang Hou's eyes went dark. He had never thought that Xie Lan was so capable that he could find the place where the silver was hidden just by fortune-telling. He was still hoping that as long as the silver was not found, the emperor would not kill all the people in Yongchang Hou's mansion for the sake of his daughter.

But now the last glimmer of hope has been shattered.

Seeing Xie Lan was about to reveal the location of the hidden silver, Yongchang Hou gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Lu, Lord Xiao, I am willing to hand over all the hidden silver. I beg you two to help me plead with the emperor.

I did not instigate the Fourth Prince to rebel and force the emperor to abdicate, and I had no intention of embezzling the money. It was the Fourth Prince who threatened the lives of more than a hundred people in the Marquis' Mansion, so I had no choice but to embezzle the money from the Ministry of Revenue.

I have always been loyal to the emperor and have never had two minds. I hope the emperor will spare my life for the sake of Concubine Li."

No one had expected that Marquis Yongchang would voluntarily hand over the hidden silver, and no one had expected that he would put all the blame on the Fourth Prince.

The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang glared at him with eyes wide open, "Liang Qianping, are you crazy? Concubine Li is our eldest daughter, and the Fourth Prince is our grandson. In order to protect yourself, you want to abandon them?"

Seeing that Marquis Yongchang pursed his lips and remained silent, he turned a deaf ear to Kong's words.

Wei, who was standing by, pinched her palm tightly, looking anxious, and said anxiously, "My Lord, are you confused? How could you embezzle money? Think about Concubine Li, she is... the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion.

My Lord, you have failed in your mission. Although the Emperor is furious, Concubine Li has done a great job in giving birth to the prince. The Emperor will certainly show some leniency to the Marquis' Mansion."

Wei knew clearly that no one present was stupid and what she said was not appropriate, but at the moment she could not care less.

Kong didn't know what Wei was thinking. In the past, she always resented Wei for competing with her for favor. She didn't expect that at this critical moment, her husband wanted to give up her eldest daughter, while Wei would protect her own daughter.

Seeing that the Marquis of Yongchang was still unwilling to change his words and was determined to put all the blame on the Fourth Prince, Kong finally became furious and said, "Liang Qianping, are you still a human being?
"The Concubine Li is our eldest daughter. As a concubine, Wei knows that she should protect her. But you, as a father, actually want to abandon her. Is your heart made of iron?"

Xie Lan looked at Kong's scolding and said suddenly, "Empress Li is Wei's biological daughter, of course she has to protect her."

As soon as Xie Lan finished speaking, the scene fell into deathly silence.

Everyone in the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion glared at Xie Lan.

The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang was even more stunned. "What did you say? Who is Wei's daughter?"

Xie Lan looked at her quietly, and spoke clearly, word by word, "Empress Li, also known as Liang Wanzhen, the eldest daughter of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, is Wei's biological daughter."

Kong's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, her body trembling slightly. Her lips trembled a few times, but she couldn't speak immediately.

After a long while, she seemed to have found her voice again and screamed, "Impossible! Wanzhen is obviously my biological daughter, and the Wei family has no children. How could my daughter become the Wei family's child? You are talking nonsense!"

Xie Lan, "Am I talking nonsense? Although Madam was destined to have a son and a daughter, your daughter died at birth. When you and Wei gave birth to your children one after the other, she bribed the maids and the women around you to swap your children.

If you don't believe it, why don't you ask for yourself?"
