After Liu Sisi cleaned up all the corpses here, she went to the neighboring yard and collected Bai Mian's corpse as well. She ignored the other dozen or so unconscious people, saying she would let these girls vent their anger later.
After cleaning everything up, she took the victims back to the neighboring yard. She was going to talk to Gu Lingchen about it.
Then they could discuss how to handle it. She was afraid that if she went directly to the authorities, and there were powerful officials behind the scenes, it would definitely alert them.
"Wan Chunyan, you two wait here for now. I'll send someone to protect you when it's light. I'm afraid you won't be able to go back yet, as you'll have to act as witnesses."
Liu Sisi gave instructions to Wan Chunyan.
"Okay, thank you very much, my benefactor."
Wan Chunyan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Sisi, and the others also knelt down to express their gratitude.
"Alright, stop kneeling all the time. Just bear with it a little longer. I'll have someone bring you some food soon." Liu Sisi said before walking out of the courtyard.
She put the door back in its original position to prevent others from discovering them. There were definitely still evil people in the capital, and she dared not let her guard down.
After Liu Sisi left, the group of girls saw the person lying on the ground, unconscious and with broken arms and legs.
Wan Chunyan told them that it was okay to vent their anger as long as they didn't kill anyone.
So the men who became fathers-in-law were beaten up by the group of victimized girls; it was karma.
After leaving the courtyard, Liu Sisi didn't walk to the palace. After looking around and seeing that there was no one else, she used her magic brush to draw a circle and entered Gu Lingchen's palace.
Gu Lingchen heard the noise and quickly got up, thinking there was an assassin! He had just picked up his knife when he saw Liu Sisi.
He rubbed his eyes and looked again; it was indeed Liu Sisi.
"Huh? Am I dreaming? Why would Sisi come to my palace so late?"
Liu Sisi walked straight over and shattered his illusion. "You're not dreaming. It really is me. I've come here to tell you something important."
"Uh, what happened?" Gu Lingchen saw Liu Sisi's serious expression and knew that something serious must have happened since she came so late.
Liu Sisi then told Gu Lingchen about what had happened to her that night.
Gu Lingchen's brows furrowed so deeply they could have trapped a fly.
"How dare they do such a heinous thing right under the emperor's nose! Where do they put me and my father?"
“This matter is not simple. It probably involves high-ranking officials in the court. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to be so blatant. There must be someone behind them,” Liu Sisi analyzed the situation for him.
"Yes, we don't know who it is yet. I will report this to my father first thing tomorrow morning and see what he says."
Gu Lingchen felt that such a big matter should be known to Emperor Yong'an. If he resolved it privately, he would be suspected of overstepping his authority.
“Okay, those girls are still in that courtyard. See if you can arrange for someone to bring them some food and send someone to protect them. I’m worried that if the person behind this finds out, they might kill them to silence them.”
Liu Sisi yawned after she finished speaking.
Seeing Liu Sisi's tired appearance, Gu Lingchen asked with concern, "Are you sleepy? Why don't you sleep in my palace? Tell me the location, and I'll arrange for someone to bring them food."
"The location is right here..." Liu Sisi told her the location and then added.
"No, I'm going back. We're not married yet, what would it look like if I slept in your palace?"
After Liu Sisi finished speaking, she drew a circle and went back to the princess's mansion.
"Okay, fine!"
Liu Sisi is always so impulsive and energetic, what can Gu Lingchen do? She's the apple of his eye, he can only pamper her himself.
"Ah Sheng..." So Gu Lingchen arranged for people to prepare food and protect the victims.
Liu Sisi went straight back to her room, then went out to tell Wang Dani and Wang Erni that she was back and to put their minds at ease. Then she closed the door, went to her private space to wash up, and went to sleep.
After managing the supermarket during the day, Wang Dani and her sister would return to the princess's mansion to serve her at night.
Liu Sisi was different from other young ladies. She didn't need to be served much. All they needed to do was know that she was safe and sound. They didn't need to worry about anything else.
Anyway, Liu Sisi doesn't need anyone to help her with even washing up. Recently, there have been many rumors circulating outside, and they probably know some of them. The snake fairy that the people are talking about is probably their young lady.
Otherwise, Liu Sisi wouldn't have been able to do everything so smoothly. Even something as simple as going to the battlefield to kill enemies, which usually takes years to accomplish, was resolved in just over a month for her young lady.
An army of 300,000! Ordinary people simply couldn't handle that. Her young lady must be a god.
Now Liu Sisi simply stopped hiding the fact that she has superpowers.
In any case, because of her identity as the Snake Fairy, whether it was common people, officials, or even the emperor, they all had only faith and respect for her, a person with supernatural abilities.
Anyway, everything she did was for the sake of making Tianlong Kingdom better and stronger. She hadn't used her superpowers to do anything evil, and the people she killed were all wicked and evil. So she didn't have to be timid or hesitant in doing things.
She had kept it a secret before because she was afraid people would see her as a monster. But now it seems that the people of Tianlong Kingdom have a deep-rooted faith in and worship of the Snake Immortal, so she doesn't need to worry too much.
The next morning, Gu Lingchen got up and reported the matter to Emperor Yong'an.
Emperor Yong'an was equally furious. How could he tolerate such shady dealings being conducted right under his nose, the emperor's nose?
“This is outrageous! Princess Anning is right. This matter must be related to officials in the court. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to move so many people here. Someone must be covering for them.”
"Take my token and go to Lord He in the Dragon Heaven Palace. Ask him to send someone to secretly investigate this matter. I want to see who it is that would risk the lives of their entire family to do such a heinous thing."
The Dragon Heaven Palace is a department that only obeys the orders of His Majesty the Emperor. They are responsible for managing all aspects of the country's affairs.
They generally don't participate in case investigations unless the matter is serious enough to alarm His Majesty and he personally orders them to act. Now they have their chance to act.
