Jian Hun finally came to his senses. He let go of Li Xuemei's waist and said helplessly, "Miss Li! I am sorry for offending you!"
"It's okay!" Li Xuelan waved her hands quickly. "If it weren't for Brother Sword Spirit's help, I'm afraid I would have already..."
"Miss Li, you're too polite! This is what I should do!" Sword Soul said quickly.
"By the way, Brother Jianhun, what are you doing here?" Li Xuelan asked curiously.
"I am here to protect you sisters on the orders of the Dark Moon Pavilion Master!" Sword Spirit replied respectfully.
"Oh? I see! That's great! With Brother Sword Soul here, we feel much more at ease!" Li Xuelan said happily.
"Don't worry, Miss Li. As long as I am here, I will never let anyone hurt you!" Sword Spirit said firmly.
"Thank you very much, Brother Jianhun!" Li Xuelan said gratefully.
When Sword Spirit saw Chu Chengli enter the house, he turned to look at Li Xuelan and said, "Miss Li, I will take you back home now!"
Li Xuelan was in an extremely heavy mood at this moment. She looked at Jian Hun with tears streaming down her cheeks. Her voice was filled with despair and helplessness: "Brother Jian Hun, what should we do?"
Sword Soul sighed silently. He had also heard the conversation between the Crown Prince and the Queen and knew that the current situation was extremely difficult. He watched Li Xuelan's silent tears flow, her tearful appearance arousing pity. However, faced with such a predicament, he felt at a loss as to how to proceed.
He tried to comfort Li Xuelan, but he didn't know what to say to ease her pain. After a moment's silence, he finally came up with an idea and said to Li Xuelan, "How about you go to your sister's place tonight? I'll bring Mr. Mu here as soon as possible. Maybe he can give us some advice and find a solution to our problem."
Li Xuelan nodded, knowing that at this moment she could only rely on others' help to find a way out. She wiped away her tears, hoping that Brother Sword Spirit could give them a glimmer of hope.
After saying this, the Sword Spirit quietly gazed at Li Xuelan's pretty face, sighed softly, and said softly, "Miss Li, please follow me. I will escort you to your sister's bedroom. Please forgive me if I have offended you!"
The Sword Spirit carefully grasped Li Xuelan's slender waist and lightly leaped up, deftly avoiding the patrolling guards of the East Palace. In just a few leaps and bounds, they slipped into Li Xuemei's bedroom as quietly as a bird.
Jian Hun saw a woman who looked exactly like Li Xuelan. He whispered to Li Xuelan calmly, "Take advantage of this opportunity. Chu Chengli is too busy to take care of you. You and your sister should take the time to have a good talk. I will come again at night." After that, he flashed and disappeared into the night.
Watching the Sword Spirit's receding figure, Li Xuelan couldn't help but feel a warm ripple in her heart. She had never expected that Dark Moon Enchantress would actually send someone to protect her and her sisters. She would definitely keep this deep friendship in her heart.
Li Xuemei's eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief, "Sister, who is this man? Don't you know that Chu Chengli is not a kind person? If he finds out that you brought a stranger to the East Palace, all of us will face disaster!"
Li Xuelan frowned and explained, "Sister, don't worry. His name is Jianhun, he's from the Dark Moon Pavilion, and he was sent by the Dark Moon Fairy to protect us!"
Li Xuemei continued to ask worriedly, "Didn't you go to visit the Crown Prince today to check on his injuries? Why did he have to escort you back in the end?"
Li Xuelan's tears immediately welled up in her eyes, and she sobbed as she replied, "Sister, the Queen and the Crown Prince have agreed that if one of us becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child, their mother will be executed, and only the child will be spared and raised by Li Jingshu!"
Li Xuemei was stunned after hearing this, her lips trembling as she spoke, "How could the Crown Prince be so cruel! In the eyes of the Queen, with our backgrounds, we are unworthy of the position of concubine! Their decision is not surprising, is it?"
Li Xuelan cried sadly, "What should we do? Chu Chengli is cruel and ruthless, and the people of the Li family are insidious and cunning, and their methods are extremely cruel! We sisters have no way to survive!" Her tears kept flowing, and her heart was filled with despair and fear.
Seeing her sister so sad, Li Xuemei felt heartbroken. She held Li Xuelan's hand tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, sister! We will definitely find a way." Her eyes were firm and brave, but tears were welling up in her eyes.
Li Xuelan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said gritting her teeth, "But...but what should we do? That devil Chu Chengli will definitely find ways to torture us!" Her voice was full of helplessness and anger.
After a moment of silence, Li Xuemei suddenly raised her head, with a flicker of determination in her eyes: "Or... our sister and I will drink the sterilization soup and never give birth to a son or daughter in our lifetime! In this way, they won't be able to use our children to threaten us!" Her tone was firm, as if she had made up her mind.
Li Xuelan stared at Li Xuemei with wide eyes, speechless for a moment. A complex mix of emotions welled up in her: shock at her sister's proposal and worry about the future.
After a while, Li Xuelan slowly came to her senses. She took a deep breath, tears glistening in her eyes, and whispered, "Okay... okay, maybe this is the only way out. But how can we get the sterilization soup?" Her eyes were filled with determination, as if she had already prepared for the worst.
Li Xuemei pondered for a moment and said, "I heard there's a secret medicine in the palace that can sterilize people. If we can find it, we can solve the problem. But we have to keep it secret and not let anyone find out. Otherwise, our situation will be even more dangerous."
Li Xuelan nodded in agreement. They began to discuss a specific plan and look for the right time to obtain the sterilization soup. Although this decision was extremely difficult for them, they understood that if they wanted to protect themselves, this might be their only option.
Night fell, the moon was dark and the wind was strong. Sword Spirit carefully led Mu San through numerous checkpoints and guards, avoiding the strict surveillance of the East Palace, and finally arrived at Li Xuemei's bedroom.
At this moment, the Li sisters had already carefully prepared fine wine and delicious food, and were eagerly waiting. When they saw Mu San and Jian Hun enter the bedroom, a flicker of joy flashed in their eyes. They quickly stood up, saluted them, and whispered, "Mr. Mu! Brother Jian Hun!"
Mu San couldn't help but be shocked by the scene before him, and a sense of amazement surged in his heart. He secretly sighed, "The Pavilion Master is really discerning and has a first-class eye for selecting people!" The beauty of these two women can be described as stunning, making them unforgettable.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder Crown Prince Chu Chengli was so fascinated by them, such looks were indeed irresistible.
