If the Xiyuan Kingdom invades the capital one day, the first ones to run away with the money will be these royal nobles, right?
Li Nian said in a low voice: "Just now, Ayu said that the last assassination might be related to Princess He."
Li Sisi slammed the table with a "bang!", becoming even more furious. "Bullshit! He's framing us! How could the princess possibly assassinate us?"
Li Nian nodded: "Yes, she had no reason to assassinate us, and Sima Shaoyu's appearance that day was too coincidental."
To be honest, she would rather suspect that Sima Shaoyu directed and acted out the incident himself than believe that the princess had arranged such an assassination.
Putting aside the fact that she and Sisi were originally on the princess's side, what good would it do to the princess if she and Sisi died?
"Actually... I have an idea!"
Li Sisi's eyes lit up: "What are your thoughts? Tell me now!"
"Since they're unwilling to help, we can act on our own." Li Nian leaned closer to Li Sisi and lowered her voice. "The princess is now very popular among the people. We can start with..."
"Bang!" The door was suddenly pushed open.
Both people in the room were startled and looked up suddenly.
Then he saw Xiao Yunyu, with a cold and fierce aura, striding into the room. "What are you planning?" His eyes fell on Li Nian. "I heard everything you said just now."
Li Sisi stood up and stepped forward: "If you heard it, then we..."
Li Nian hurriedly interrupted her: "Sisi!"
She turned to look at the angry man and explained softly, "Husband, don't misunderstand me. Sisi and I were just chatting."
"How can idle chat subvert the government?" Xiao Yunyu approached her step by step. "Niannian, what exactly is the reason that makes you have to take the risk to support the princess?"
Li Nian raised her eyes to meet his gaze, and her peach blossom eyes, which always contained a smile, now stared at her with suppressed anger.
"Why did my husband insist on stopping me?"
Li Nian didn't think Xiao Yunyu was the type to stick to the old ways. Even when Xiao Yunyu suspected she was a monster, he still accepted the truth.
Why can't he accept the princess becoming emperor? What is he afraid of?
"Master! News came from the Heavenly Prison that Her Royal Highness the Princess escaped from prison!" Xiaobai ran over quickly, his tone anxious.
Xiao Yunyu's pupils shrank, and he said with a tense face, "I'll go check it out. You stay home and don't go anywhere."
Li Nian lowered her eyelashes and replied, "Okay."
Xiao Yunyu looked at her deeply, raised his hand and pinched her cheek, and whispered, "Be good and wait for me to come back."
After that, he turned to Xiaobai and ordered: "Prepare the horses!"
"yes!"
Li Nian stared blankly at Xiao Yunyu's departing back.
The words the princess said to her that day in the prison flashed through her mind.
Perhaps the princess has her own plans. She and Sisi don’t have any connections or power, so they can’t help much, but they will definitely try their best!
Seeing Xiao Yunyu walking away, Li Sisi lowered her voice and asked, "Niannian, are you really going to listen to Xiao Yunyu?"
"No." Li Nian said firmly, "We must act faster. Not only must we build momentum among the people, but we must also protect the princess's trusted aides in the capital and retain more strength for her."
She looked at Li Sisi: "It doesn't matter if Xiao Yunchen is unwilling to support me. As long as he is willing to help rescue Xu Shanchang, it can be regarded as another kind of support."
Li Sisi's thoughts suddenly became clear: "That's right, who says helping doesn't count as support? I'll go back and tell him!"
Li Nian held her back: "Don't worry, you can't just say it directly. You can do this..."
Li Sisi's eyes lit up as she listened. "Yes, that's a good idea. Let him take the initiative to help, so he won't get suspicious!"
