The moment the man in black leaped into the room, Chu Caiwei was jolted awake. She lay quietly in bed, her eyes wide open in the darkness, without a trace of fear. Even if the man intended to kill her, she wouldn't cry out for help. For her, every day was torture.
The man in black slowly approached, calling softly in a low voice, "Princess cousin! I am Li Xuelan, a concubine of the Prime Minister's residence." This call was like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky, striking Chu Caiwei's heart. She was stunned for a moment, and fragments of past memories gradually emerged in her mind. The Prime Minister's residence had a pair of twin sisters raised in a rural farm.
Time flies, the years pass by, and those past events have long been blurred, but now they are so clear before her eyes. Chu Caiwei stares at the man in black in front of her, trying to piece together her memories of Li Xuelan...
She had heard that the prime minister's concubine, after being sent to a farm in the countryside, had gone through untold hardships to give birth to a pair of lovely twin daughters, but tragically, the concubine passed away after giving birth. Over the years, various theories arose as to why the sisters had not been able to return to the prime minister's mansion. The most popular theory was that they were strong-willed and had the power to control their parents.
At this moment, Li Xuelan sat quietly beside Chu Caiwei's bed and lowered her voice to reveal to her, "Today, I overheard my elder sister mentioning to her personal maid that there's no need to bother with your trivial matters. After all, after my elder sister has her coming-of-age ceremony, she will become the incomparably noble Crown Princess."
Upon hearing this, Chu Caiwei clenched her fists, her eyes, shimmering with hatred, gleaming brightly in the darkness. She replied, her voice trembling, "I know exactly who Li Jingshu is! There's no need to beat around the bush. Just speak directly and tell me the real reason for your visit!"
After hearing what Chu Caiwei said, Li Xuelan no longer needed to hide her purpose. She said directly, "Since my cousin Princess is also a sensible person, then I will speak frankly! I'm here to make a deal with you. You want to escape from here, and I want my sisters and brothers to rely on you to pursue a better future!"
Chu Caiwei sneered and said sarcastically, "Looking at my current state, how can I promise you a bright future?"
Li Xuelan smiled faintly and responded firmly, "Princess cousin, please do not forget your noble status. No matter how difficult your current situation, you are still the legitimate princess born to the Emperor and the Empress. As long as you can regain your freedom and leave this place, you will still stand at the pinnacle of power."
Chu Caiwei was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "So, how do you plan to help me out of this predicament?"
Li Xuelan lowered her voice and whispered softly, "Princess, our abilities are limited right now. Please think carefully about who could be your savior. I'm willing to pass on your message."
Chu Caiwei sighed and replied helplessly, "It seems that for now, I can only rely on Luo Lingyue. She manages such a large-scale Zuiyue Tower, and her talents must be beyond the reach of ordinary people. Go find her and ask her for advice!"
Li Xuelan asked in astonishment, "Cousin Princess, are you talking about the daughter of the General's Mansion? I heard that His Majesty has decreed that she betrothed to Prince Xiao."
Chu Caiwei felt a sharp pain in her heart when she heard this. She couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, she really has no choice! Being forced to marry someone you don't love is really a kind of torture!"
Li Xuelan knew it was inappropriate to comment on this matter, so she responded softly, "Princess cousin, what token of trust do you need? As long as you trust me, I will do my best to convey your message to Luo Lingyue. If Luo Lingyue agrees to help, I will release a kite outside the wall tomorrow evening."
Chu Caiwei slowly raised her hand and gently took off the blood jade bracelet from her wrist. She then handed it to Li Xuelan and said earnestly, "Please hand this bracelet over to Luo Lingyue. Everything depends on whether you can successfully persuade her to help!"
Li Xuelan gently placed the incomparably precious blood jade bracelet in her bosom and soothed her softly, "Princess, please be at ease. If Luo Lingyue refuses to help, we can still find another way!"
Afterwards, Li Xuelan climbed out of the window gently and carefully, and nimbly crawled out through a narrow dog hole and left.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Li Xuelan and her sister Li Xuemei were already waiting in front of Zuiyue Tower, awaiting Luo Lingyue's arrival.
At that moment, Bai Zhi stood atop Zuiyue Tower, her gaze fixed on the two sisters waiting below. She turned to Bai Zhu beside her and whispered, "I bet these two are the twin sisters renowned throughout the Prime Minister's residence! Look at their beauty, truly breathtaking, stunning the whole nation, yet such beauty can also be a source of danger. Why not go downstairs and ask them if they're here to look for our owner?"
After hearing this, Bai Zhu immediately stepped out and walked directly towards the sisters. When he arrived in front of them, Bai Zhu said concisely, "Follow me into Zuiyue Tower!"
Faced with Bai Zhu's sudden invitation, Li Xuemei was a little hesitant, but her sister Li Xuelan decisively took her hand and followed Bai Zhu into Zuiyue Tower.
They stared at the famous Zuiyuelou in front of them with eyes wide open, their faces filled with disbelief! Compared to those ordinary restaurants, this place was completely different from heaven and earth!
Seeing how surprised the two of them were, Bai Zhi smiled slightly and said in a very gentle and generous tone, "The boss will have to wait a little longer. You probably haven't had breakfast yet, right? Why don't you eat something with us first?"
Bai Zhu was always outspoken and said directly, "Looking at your two frail bodies, I'm afraid your past life wasn't easy."
After hearing this, the two sisters looked at each other, nodded silently, and then followed Bai Zhi to have breakfast.
After they finished breakfast, Luo Lingyue finally arrived at Zuiyue Tower. When she first laid eyes on the two sisters, she was completely stunned, speechless for a long moment. Just based on their looks, they were definitely the type of women men admired the most.
Although the two sisters are still young, they already have a pair of affectionate and bright eyes, and their every move exudes a charming and attractive demeanor.
Luo Lingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of doubt and vigilance in her eyes, and asked softly: "Why did you come here to look for me?" Her voice was calm and firm, as if she had already expected that the other party's intention was not simple.
Li Xuelan carefully fished out the blood jade bracelet from her bosom and gently handed it to Luo Lingyue, her eyes filled with earnestness. She lowered her voice and said, "This is the Eighth Princess's blood jade bracelet. I'm sure Miss Luo recognizes it. I've made the bold move to come here today at the Eighth Princess's request. I beg Miss Luo to use her wisdom and strength to rescue the Eighth Princess from this dire situation."
