The Lian family stole the limelight at today's banquet. After the banquet, everyone started to leave.
Lian Yiyi came to Lian Yan and his group. She looked at Lian Yan with some sadness and said, "I am an unfilial daughter. I can no longer serve you."
Lian Yan looked at Lian Yiyi without blinking, as if he wanted to see something from her face.
But Lian Yiyi hid so deeply, how could anyone see anything?
"Forget it. You have walked this path yourself. What happens in the future has nothing to do with me." Lian Yan said coldly.
Lian Yiyi's eyes misted over and she pursed her lips pretending to be sad.
But he sneered in his heart. As the saying goes, we share honor and disgrace. If anything happens to her, not even Yan and the others can escape!
"Master, what are you talking about? Now our Yiyi has entered the palace and become the emperor's concubine. This is a good thing.
"In the future, our family will be able to prosper along with Yiyi." Mrs. Lian said happily.
"Shut up." Lian Yan said unhappily.
Mrs. Lian thought that now that Lian Yiyi had entered the palace and become the emperor's woman, it was no joke. She had someone behind her and could speak with more confidence.
"Master, what I said is all true. There's nothing I can do even if you don't want to hear it," said Mrs. Lian.
"you!"
Lian Yan was so angry that his face turned red, he had difficulty breathing, and almost fainted.
Fortunately, Xie Yunjiao was quick to support Lian Yan and fed him a pill.
After a while, Lian Yan's expression eased slightly.
"Dad, are you okay?" Lian Yiyi said pretending to be worried.
"If you don't make me angry a few times, I'll be fine." Xie Yunjiao said.
"How dare you, Madam Hao Ming, speak to me like that?" Lian Yiyi looked at Xie Yunjiao unhappily, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.
If it weren't for Xie Yunjiao, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
She actually dared to point fingers in front of her, she was simply asking for her own life.
Xie Yunjiao looked at Lian Yiyi, smiled, and said, "Lian Yiyi, you just entered the palace, and you're already so irritable? Do you really think you've already become a phoenix?
Don't forget that everyone in the palace relies on their mother's family for support and help. Otherwise, the emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem, and you're just one of them. Can you guarantee that his favor will last forever? "
Lian Yiyi looked at Xie Yunjiao with a mocking smile on her face. She said, "You don't have to worry about this. I, Lian Yiyi, don't need your help!"
Xie Yunjiao just smiled at her and didn't say anything.
The light in those beautiful almond-shaped eyes made Lian Yiyi very uncomfortable. She seemed to have said nothing, so why did Xie Yunjiao look at her like that, as if she saw through everything?
"You'd better take care of yourself." Lian Yan turned away and left.
Although Mrs. Lian was reluctant, she still followed Lian Yan and left.
Not long after they returned to the Lian family, there was one more person in Lian Yan's study.
"Master." Xie Yunjiao called out.
Ye Baien looked at Xie Yunjiao and nodded slightly. He then looked at Lian Yan and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Lian Yan said to Ye Baien, "Master Ye, I didn't know that rebellious girl would do such a thing. Our Lian family has been loyal for generations, and now she is about to destroy it!"
That girl must have used some unorthodox methods, otherwise how could she know the emperor's preferences and pretend to be so similar that the emperor took her into the palace as a concubine after only meeting her once.
"I just deliberately said we wouldn't help her, and she said she didn't need our help. It seems she has someone backing her up, but we don't know who it is yet." Xie Yunjiao paused, "I'll have someone go to Jingxin Temple to investigate tomorrow. I hope we can find something."
Ye Baien said, "Be careful. There have been unusual movements in the south recently. King Yi seems to be making some moves. I suspect Lian Yiyi was sent in."
"King Yi?" Lian Yan was stunned for a moment, disbelief on his face, "How could it be him?"
Prince Yi was the most loyal and honest among all the sons of the late emperor. He did not participate in the previous fight for the throne and left the capital early for the uninhabited land of Nanyue.
I heard that life there is difficult, with heavy methane and difficulty growing crops, let alone developing the area to compete with the emperor's elite troops.
"Don't forget, beyond Nanyue lies the Baiyue Kingdom. My people discovered that although King Yi never showed up, his men frequently interacted with the Baiyue assassin organization, the White Wolf Alliance."
Xie Yunjiao was stunned for a moment. It was the White Wolf Alliance again!
Why has this killer organization appeared frequently recently, and she has also fought with people in it.
If she hadn't pretended to dress like their leader, and if it hadn't been for the dark and windy night, and the dim light in the dilapidated temple, she might not have been able to get away with it.
I heard that the people in that organization are brutal and unreasonable, and kill without blinking an eye, especially the leader of the White Wolf, who is a cold-blooded killer with great martial arts skills and is feared by everyone.
She is so kind and pretty, how could she be that kind of person?
"Yun Jiao, you performed well today." Ye Baien said.
Xie Yunjiao thought Ye Baien was praising her ability to respond quickly and accepted the compliment without hesitation.
Ye Baien said, "Today's pickled pork with preserved vegetables is absolutely excellent. It's the best soup I've ever had. No wonder it's so delicious it makes your eyebrows drop."
Ye Baien brought up a topic, and Lian Yan followed suit, praising it, saying that he had no idea that the ham from the Western Regions could be made into such delicious food.
Xie Yunjiao couldn't help but twitched the corner of her mouth when she looked at Ye Baien.
Weren't they just talking about business? Why did the scene suddenly change? Both of them looked drooling. Why are there so many foodies around her?
"Actually, the key to making pickled pork with preserved vegetables is the slow simmering of the soup. The longer it is simmered, the richer the flavor. But since I've just arrived at the palace, time is tight, so this is the only way."
Ye Baien's eyes suddenly lit up: "So it will taste better if it's left for a longer time?"
"That's right." Xie Yunjiao said.
"Why don't you cook it for me some other time?" Ye Baien said.
"Okay." Xie Yunjiao said.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Ye Baien left with satisfaction.
"Dad, it's nothing, I'm leaving now." Xie Yunjiao said to Lian Yan. She took out a medicine bottle from her bosom and said, "I see you're feeling a little unwell, so I'm giving you these medicines. Take them with water when you feel unwell, and you'll feel much better after a rest.
But the most important thing is not to get emotional.”
Lian Yan said, "I understand."
It was easy to say, how could he possibly relax? He was almost mad at having a daughter like Lian Yiyi!
It’s a pity that the wife still looks so smug.
Following a man like the emperor, who is suspicious by nature and cruel in his methods, Lian Yiyi's life in the palace will not be easy.
In addition, Ye Baien and Gu Huai have their own plans, and the change of the king is inevitable at that time. He doesn't know whether he can save Lian Yiyi.
Lian Yan rubbed his temples with a headache.
