Before Li Yunyan even opened her eyes, she felt that she couldn't move her hands and feet.
It's like being bound by something!
Sensing danger approaching, she reflexively rolled to the side and kicked out with both legs.
Only then did he finally see his situation clearly.
She was now in a simple side room, facing a man dressed in black! His face was covered with a black cloth, and he held a white silk ribbon in his hand.
The man in black was jolted back a few steps by her sudden movement. His calf, which she had kicked, was numb with pain. He cursed inwardly: I didn't expect this girl to be so strong!
Seeing the murderous intent in the man in black's eyes, Li Yunyan didn't have time to process the plot; saving her life was the priority!
Fortunately, she had exchanged for combat power points before. Although she rarely used them in the first few small worlds, it didn't mean she couldn't!
"System, can I kill this man in black?"
[Yes, host! As long as it's for self-preservation and completing the mission, the system allows it!]
"That's more like it!"
With her hands and feet bound, she struggled to stand up, then suddenly bent her knees and used her light-footed skill to jump.
With a loud "thump," she kicked the man in black hard in the chest, and she herself fell to the ground.
Her kick was delivered with all her might. The man in black was caught off guard, and his internal organs were immediately shattered. A large amount of blood and fragments of his internal organs spilled out from under the black cloth. Staring in disbelief, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Dead beyond dead.
These actions all happened in the blink of an eye; from the moment Li Yunyan opened her eyes to the moment the man in black died, it was only a little over ten seconds.
Li Yunyan took a hard fall. It took her some time to free herself from the ropes binding her hands and feet, and then she took a pill before she had time to process the plot.
[Story progress in progress...]
Having received the plot information, he propped himself up and sat on the simple bed in the room.
So this was her room.
The original owner of this body was born into a family of imperial physicians; her father and grandfather were both imperial physicians.
The Li family has always had few descendants, and by her generation, she was the only daughter left in the family.
Not long ago, her father was forced to get involved in the power struggles within the imperial harem.
During a pulse diagnosis of a low-ranking concubine, he discovered she was pregnant. A few days later, the concubine accidentally fell into the water, resulting in the deaths of herself and her unborn child.
Before Li's father could even process what was happening, Consort Xian summoned him and subtly warned him not to spread the news that the low-ranking concubine was pregnant!
Li's father has always been an upright and incorruptible person. The Empress Dowager's admonition not only failed to bring him to her side, but also made him want to tell the Emperor about the matter.
Before he could even see His Majesty, news arrived that Consort Xian had miscarried! And Li's father, who had only recently left Consort Xian's palace, became the culprit.
Those who plot against the imperial heir will bring ruin upon their entire family.
The entire Li family was executed, but Li Yunyan, as the only remaining female member of the Li family, was spared by the emperor in order to demonstrate his benevolence. He merely confiscated all of the Li family's property and left Li Yunyan to fend for herself.
The original owner finally found this temporary place to stay, which attracted the assassination attempt by the men in black.
Without a doubt, it was Consort Xian who sent them to silence her! The white silk ribbon in the man in black's hand was meant to create the illusion that she couldn't bear the shock and hanged herself!
Now that the man in black is dead, we definitely can't stay here anymore!
Li Yunyan searched the room and found only a few taels of silver, two sets of old clothes, and a thin marriage certificate.
There wasn't even a hairpin!
All of these small worlds combined, this is the poorest Li Yunyan has ever been!
She was so poor that she even considered selling the white silk ribbon the man in black had just been holding!
Thinking of the man in black, Li Yunyan walked to his body, squatted down, and began to search him.
A moment later, she wiped her hands on his body with disgust.
The assassin seemed to be a professional; he wasn't carrying anything on him, only a dagger with no markings was found.
After putting the dagger into her bag and having the system deal with the corpse and bloodstains, Li Yunyan quickly washed up and went to bed.
A man in black has already been to this place tonight, so it should be safe for now. Let's make our escape tomorrow!
Lying in bed, Li Yunyan picked up the marriage certificate and examined the handwriting by the dim light of the oil lamp.
It turned out to be his own marriage certificate.
"The Nine Gates Admiral, Xia Xiunian?"
Li Yunyan looked calmly at the thin piece of paper and summoned the system.
"System, what do you think of this person?"
The system immediately displayed a photo.
Xia Xiunian, the Nine Gates Admiral, is 18 years old and 188cm tall.
The man in the photo has long, clear eyebrows and eyes that radiate youthful vigor. As a military general, his attire is not particularly formal; his robes are loose and his hair is casually tied up, giving him an air of nonchalant laziness.
Li Yunyan nodded slightly. It looks alright!
I just don't know if the Xia family will still accept this marriage now that her family has fallen on hard times.
The next morning, Li Yunyan packed her things and left home with a simple little bundle.
Her home was in a small alley, which led to the main street after many twists and turns.
The streets were bustling with activity, filled with crowds, giving a sense of the myriad aspects of human life.
Li Yunyan was used to a life of luxury and looked down on the few taels of silver she had. However, she did not expect that the prices of goods in ordinary people were not the same as those in wealthy families. Unless she was buying something big, these few taels of silver would be enough for her to live on for a while.
Now that the Li family has been convicted by the royal family, Li Yunyan will no longer be able to open a clinic and practice medicine until the case is overturned!
