Chapter 4: Struck by Thunder



Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Standing a little further back, Yin, who was also wearing a coarse linen shirt, had her eyes light up, thinking whether she could meet Li Yang alone later, maybe she wouldn't have to go into exile. She was secretly happy in her heart that Li Yang still missed her.

Standing next to her was Gu Yanxu, the third child, who was Yin's husband. His eyes flashed with a dark light, and he wanted to kill Yin right now, because this was in public and she was cheating on him. But in the current situation, he couldn't do anything. He could only hold it in.

"That's right, Gu Yanming is a hypocrite! General Li, these two old men are not good people either! We can take this opportunity to teach them a lesson together!"

Just at this moment, Ye Xinran came over and saw that the person who was talking was Liu Xiao, the younger brother of the favorite concubine Liu Yi.

This kind of person has the habit of being a treacherous minister. If Ye Xinran doesn't teach him a lesson, she will feel sorry for coming to the ancient times. She secretly took out the electric baton from the space, pointed it at Liu Xiao, and turned on the switch.

Liu Xiao waited for Li Yang to teach the two old guys a lesson. He had long disliked the two old men. Thinking of how they had previously written a petition asking the emperor not to favor her sister alone, and asking the emperor to make a decent woman the empress as soon as possible, wasn't this clearly an insult to her sister for not being a decent woman, and that their Liu family was not a decent family!

Liu Xiao was feeling proud, Li Yang frowned, and was about to whip again, but a flash of lightning appeared.

With a "crackling" sound, something came out of nowhere and rushed straight towards Liu Xiao.

Before Liu Xiao could react, she was hit. She twitched and fell to the ground. Smoke came out of her body and there was a burning smell. Her hair was blown up and her clothes were black. Her face also turned black. She lay there motionless.

Everyone was shocked and their eyes widened. Li Yang, who was the closest, immediately took several steps back. He was sweating profusely.

Then I heard someone among the crowd watching at the palace gate say.

"This was struck by lightning!"

"God has punished me!"

The voices gradually became louder, one after another.

"King Wucheng had just won a battle and was still seriously injured, but his property was confiscated. This must have offended the gods..."

"That's right! King Wucheng has been leading the Golden Armored Army and guarding the border. He is a good man!"

"It's a pity that good people don't get rewarded!"

The soldiers who came to confiscate the property also looked around and felt sorry for him. They also admired King Wucheng. But now he has ended up like this, which makes people sigh. They were originally murderous and pointed their weapons at everyone in the palace, but now they unconsciously put their weapons back.

Ye Xinran also came to Daoqin at this time, and nodded to the old prince and the old princess. Then he turned around and handed Jianshu a small bottle.

"Medicine for the wound, take care of it yourself first!"

Jian Shu was stunned for a moment, then quickly took it. He nodded. "Thank you, Princess, for the medicine!" He felt a little warm in his heart. It was inevitable that the secret guard would get injured while protecting the master. He didn't expect that the princess would still remember to give him medicine in such a chaotic situation.

Ye Xinran turned her head and looked at Li Yang expressionlessly.

"General, you should find a doctor for Lord Liu first! He seems to be still breathing!"

Li Yang squinted at Ye Xinran for a few times before ordering someone to carry Liu Xiao away and find a doctor. Then he sat in a chair brought by his subordinates and waited.

Originally, two officials, one civil and one military, were responsible for the confiscation of property and exile. Now only Li Yang is left. It is estimated that Liu Xiao will not be able to recover for a while. All officers and soldiers can only obey Li Yang's orders.

After the lightning strike just now, no one would lynch the people in the palace for the time being.

"Oh no, General!" A young general ran over. "General, all the warehouses are empty!"

Li Yang stood up quickly, grabbed the young player by the collar, and almost lifted him up from the ground.

"What's going on? Explain clearly!"

The young general was sweating and panting. "I just found a warehouse that was empty, so I looked for another one nearby, and it was still empty! So I lined up several teams and checked all the warehouses. But they were all empty!"

Li Yang frowned, pushed the man aside, and strode towards the nearest warehouse.

Everyone in the palace was whispering, feeling uneasy.

It is early autumn now and the nights are a bit chilly.

Ye Xinran took out a coarse cloth cloak from her bosom and covered Gu Yanming with it, pulling it closer to cover his entire body as much as possible to prevent him from getting cold.

"I would like to thank the princess on behalf of the prince!" Dao Qin's eyes were full of gratitude.

Jianshu's eyes were complicated. He hadn't seen her for a long time, so he thought this woman had run away! He didn't expect her to come back. Not only did she give him medicine for his wounds, but she also considerately put clothes on the prince.

Ye Xinran just nodded without saying anything. She turned around and gave two coarse cloth cloaks to the old prince and the old princess respectively.

"Father, Mother! It's cold, please put on some clothes! It will keep you warm."

They are called old princes and princesses, but they are actually only in their forties. They don’t have many white hairs or wrinkles. In another world, they are middle-aged. But in this era where the average life expectancy is fifty, they are considered old.

"Thank you!"

The two of them were grateful and looked at Ye Xinran with a complicated look, then helped each other put on their clothes.

I saw Ye Xinran holding a few cloaks in her hands.

Some people wanted it, after all, it would be a bit cold. Some people thought the cloak was too rough and didn't want to wear it. They just glanced at it with disdain.

Gu Yanxin is Gu Yanming's younger sister, the fifth child, and fifteen this year. She has been willful and capricious since she was young. She couldn't stand the fact that Dingyuan Hou sent Ye Xinran to help Ye Xueyi get married. Ye Xinran was a woman who looked okay, but had no other merits. Such a woman was not worthy of her handsome and powerful elder brother. But she felt that it was not her fault. It was the fault of that old man Dingyuan Hou. But she couldn't like her either.

I thought this in my heart and said it out loud.

"Why are you still here? My eldest brother will not look down on you. Since you are probably not on the list now, you should talk to the official and go! No need to pretend to be kind here!" Gu Yan thought to herself, this could be considered saving her!

Ye Xinran raised her eyebrows, looking at this little girl who spoke with thorns but still cared about others. She wanted to laugh in her heart. She handed over a cloak and said.

"It's cold at night, put it on!"

Gu Yanxin didn't expect Ye Xinran to react like this. She didn't take the cloak and said angrily.

"Didn't you hear what I said! Go away! You're not needed here!"

Ye Xinran sighed. She would not leave now. After thinking for a while, she made up a story.

"Your Highness once saved my life when I was young. Now consider it as my repayment! When Your Highness wakes up and confirms that I can leave, it won't be too late for me to leave."

Gu Yanxin frowned and said unhappily, "By that time, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave even if you want to!" After that, seeing that Ye Xinran insisted, he was too lazy to say anything more and directly snatched the cloak from Ye Xinran's hand and put it on in a few seconds. It was indeed much warmer.

The old prince's concubine Ma, who was standing by, looked up, waiting for Ye Xinran to give her a cloak. But after waiting for a long time, Ye Xinran didn't give it to her, and instead put the last one on herself.
