"Wan'er is a reasonable person. She will stand on my side."
Because of Fan Xian's insistence, the two did not continue the topic. It was indeed getting late, and not long after, Fan Ruoruo left the Fan Mansion.
.........
Hanguang Hall
Li Yunrui had been kneeling at the entrance of the temple for a whole day.
"Princess, the Queen Mother wants you to come in."
"Yes, um, thank you, Eunuch Hong."
However, Li Yunrui had been kneeling for too long and her legs were numb. She was about to fall, so Hong Sixiang helped her up.
"You are too polite, Princess. This is my duty as a servant."
Although Hong Sixiang said so, in this imperial palace, except Emperor Qing and the Empress Dowager, no one dared to treat him as a slave.
"Your son pays homage to your mother"
Li Yunrui knew that whether he could escape unscathed this time depended on this one.
"I've always known that you're the dumbest of the three children I gave birth to in this life, but I never thought you could be this dumb..."
The Queen Mother looked like she was crying because of your stupidity and she was very disappointed in you.
"Mother, the incident on Niulan Street really has nothing to do with me..."
"Okay, then don't tell me. Go tell the emperor and Cheng Qian and see if they believe it..."
Seeing that Li Yunrui still didn't tell the truth at this time, the Queen Mother also wanted to let it go.
"Mother, mother, I really don't know anything about the Tiansha Hall..."
Li Yunrui crawled to the Queen Mother on his knees and burst into tears.
I don’t know about the Tianshatang incident, but Li Yunrui has admitted the Niulan Street incident.
"Since you have nothing to do with Tiansha Hall, why would they help you kill Fan Xian?"
"It was the Northern Qi people who deliberately set me up."
After learning that people from Tianshatang were involved in the assassination on Niulan Street, Li Yunrui realized that something was wrong.
In her opinion, she was using the Northern Qi people as a gun, but the Northern Qi people turned the tables on her.
The empress dowager finally softened her heart. She dismissed her attendants and left only Hong Sixiang by her side.
"There are only three of us here. Tell me honestly, you really have nothing to do with Tiansha Hall, and the assassination of Cheng Qianxijiao two years ago also had nothing to do with you?"
The assassination of Fan Xian was just a trivial matter in the eyes of the Queen Mother. The most important thing was that it involved Tiansha Hall, and the assassination of Li Chengqian in the western suburbs two years ago was brought up again.
Assassinating the crown prince and assassinating the illegitimate son of the Minister of Revenue are two different concepts, which is why Li Yunrui panicked.
"Mother, I swear to heaven, if I, Li Yunrui, have anything to do with the assassination of Chengqian Xijiao and Tianshatang, I will die a miserable death."
Li Yunrui, eager to get rid of suspicion, did not care about his face and swore in public.
"Forget it. I will trust you once again. I will help you talk to the Emperor and Cheng Qian."
After all, she was her own daughter. She could beat and scold her, but the Queen Mother could not bear to watch her die.
Chapter 228 Wuzhu Arrives
Late night
Royal Court
A thief sneaked into Lin Wan'er's room through the window.
"Who?"
Lin Wan'er woke up from her half-sleep state and found that her right hand was already grasping the chastity dagger under the pillow.
"It's me, don't be afraid."
Although he knew it was rash, Fan Xian came anyway. In the huge city of Kyoto, he couldn't find anyone with whom he could talk. In the end, he had no choice but to follow his heart and come to this royal villa to find the white moonlight in his heart.
"I'm so glad you're okay; but you shouldn't have come to me now..."
Just by hearing the voice, Lin Wan'er knew that he was the person she cared about day and night, but her royal upbringing did not allow her to hug him like an ordinary girl and say how much she missed him.
"I'm sorry, because of what happened yesterday, my father didn't let me come to see you; don't be afraid, I just came here to tell you that I'm fine."
Fan Xian took a step back and explained, trying his best to appear harmless.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Lin Wan'er's scream still attracted other people's attention, and her personal maid Nie Xiaoqin greeted her from outside the door.
"I'm fine. I just woke up from a nightmare. You can go down."
Out of trust in Fan Xian and consideration for her own circumstances, Lin Wan'er lied.
"Miss, don't worry. I asked someone to go to the Fan Mansion and ask about it. Mr. Fan only suffered minor injuries. He may come to see you tomorrow. You must rest well and take care of yourself."
"Okay, I get it, go and get some rest."
In front of Fan Xian, Nie Xiaoqin's words made Lin Wan'er feel a little embarrassed, so she turned off the lights, otherwise Fan Xian would definitely see her blushing cheeks.
At Lin Wan'er's urging, Nie Xiaoqin outside the door left, and the atmosphere in the room began to become ambiguous.
"You're worried about me too..."
As a virgin in two lifetimes, Fan Xian has no plan in mind when facing girls, even though he has thousands of words to say.
"Um"
Lin Wan'er is similar. She has the title of a princess, but because of her status as an illegitimate daughter, she has always been ignored, and no one has really taught her about the ways of the world.
An illegitimate son and an illegitimate daughter, both of them lack love for each other; in the original drama, they are indeed a match made in heaven.
"Why don't you go back first? I'm a little scared of you like this."
Out of girlish modesty, Lin Wan'er spoke.
"Don't be afraid. I just wanted to find someone to talk to, but I couldn't find anyone else in Kyoto City, so I thought of you."
Lin Wan'er felt the loneliness in Fan Xian's words, which made her relax her guard and loosen the dagger in her hand.
"What do you want to say to me?"
Yeah, what should I tell her?
She said her mother sent people to kill me. Although I survived, more than a dozen guards in the Fan Mansion died because of me?
Or am I planning to seek revenge on her mother?
Fan Xian remembered what his sister had asked him during the day; from now on, how should he get along with Lin Wan'er?
"Does it have anything to do with your assassination? Who wanted to kill you?"
In one day, Lin Wan'er heard many rumors about this issue, and each one made her feel up and down.
"The people who wanted to kill me were from Northern Qi. I heard that they wanted to use this opportunity to stir up a conflict between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Cheng. I was the innocent victim. I really died unjustly."
In the end, Fan Xian just couldn't bear to tell the ill-fated girl in front of him the truth he had found out.
"In that case, you better be careful next time. These Northern Qi people are really bad."
Fan Xian's answer made Lin Wan'er feel relieved. She stuck out her tongue and gave a warning.
"This kind of thing probably won't happen again, and I'm not afraid even if there is a next time. Let me show you..."
Fan Xian started to take off his coat as he spoke.
"Wait, what do you want to do..."
Although she didn't take the chastity dagger, Lin Wan'er still shrank to the other side of the bed.
"Oh, don't be afraid. It's a golden soft armor. Ruoruo asked the prince for it for me. I heard that it is invulnerable to swords and guns. Next time there is an assassin, I won't be afraid."
At this moment, Fan Xian felt like a teenager showing off his toys to the girl next door.
Although this young couple did not cross the line, they were very affectionate with each other, which made others envious.
.........
Guangxin Palace
The Queen Mother stepped forward, Emperor Qing was willing to give his mother face, and Li Chengqian also wanted to maintain his image of being generous and benevolent, so Li Yunrui escaped unscathed and passed the test.
"Find the night-shining pearl I collected from Northern Qi last year. I can use it."
Before going to bed, Li Yunrui seemed to have thought of something and said to his maid Wanrong.
"Your Highness, that night-shining pearl is an ominous object. It has caused you a headache for two months. What do you want it for?"
Apart from the Fu sisters, the maid Wanrong was one of the few people who knew that there was something wrong with the night pearl.
"The Queen Mother asked me to apologize to the Crown Princess. Please help me deliver the Night Pearl to her in the East Palace tomorrow."
This is the normal operation of the master. Upon hearing this, Wanrong felt relieved.
East Palace
A place that the palace maids in Guangxin Palace yearn for, especially the Fu sisters after they have established themselves there.
The prince is kind and benevolent, and it must be better to work there than to be worried all day long here; if she could be like the Fu sisters, Wanrong felt that she would be willing to die in the end.
"who…"
The maid Wanrong was still lost in thought when she saw a figure flash by in a trance. Then everything went dark before her eyes and she lost consciousness and passed out.
"It's you…"
Unlike Wanrong, Li Yunrui saw the face of the person who came clearly, but she was knocked unconscious before she could even say these two words.
He has an ageless face, his eyes covered by a black cloth, his left hand holds a sack, and in his right hand is his weapon, an ordinary iron rod; the man who came is none other than Wu Zhu, the BUG-like existence in Joy of Life.
Thanks to Wu Zhu's plan to use her to lure out Tianshatang, Li Yunrui was not hit by an iron spike like Lin Gong in the original drama, but was wrapped in a sack.
…………
"Who is there?"
A major feature of contemporary TV dramas, whether it is a costume drama or a modern drama, as long as you are the heroine, or a high-end female villain, there will be a bootlicker around you who is rich, powerful, or skilled in martial arts.
Li Yunrui is naturally no exception. Although Li Chengqian is gone because of the protagonist's intrusion, Yan Xiaoyi is still there, and she will come to help her keep watch every night without any complaints.
Sneaking in alone and leading others away are indeed two different levels of difficulty. Wu Zhu didn't expect to be discovered, but he simply didn't care.
So what if I'm discovered? I'll just kill them. If I can lure out the people from Tiansha Hall, that would be even better.
"Little thief, take your life."
Yan Xiaoyi claims to be a ninth-rank master and doesn't take anyone seriously except the four great masters, let alone this kind of petty thief in front of him.
But how to describe the fight between the two?
It's like a level 3 Hou Yi fighting a level 5 Kai in close combat;
brush brush
In a few moments, Yan Xiaoyi was already bleeding profusely, even with the help of the guards.
"Someone come, the princess is missing. She has been kidnapped."
Wu Zhu rarely uses harsh force on ordinary people. Wanrong, who was originally unconscious, woke up and started shouting when she saw that Li Yunrui was missing.
Chapter 229 Fight
"The eldest princess?"
Yan Xiaoyi stared at the sack in Wuzhu's hand and shouted.
Originally thinking that he had met Si Gu Jian, he was planning to retreat strategically instead of suffering a loss; but he did not expect that the person being abducted was actually the eldest princess.
As a bootlicker who was raised since childhood, Yan Xiaoyi has deep and special feelings for Li Yunrui; there is Oedipus love and also love between men and women (purely a TV drama), but he wants to love but dares not to.
If I can die today to save the eldest princess, my life will not be lived in vain.
"Go and invite Eunuch Hong, Eunuch Qian of the Eastern Palace, and Commander Liu. I will hold him back."
