Grandpa Yu responded.
He felt that Princess Anle's bath took a little too long today, and the noise in the bathhouse was a bit strange. His expression was also a little off when he came out.
However, having witnessed Princess Anle's methods, he dared not ask her unless she spoke of it.
Lin Xiuyan was lying on the roof beam at this moment. She was prepared for Princess Anle to go back on her word and have the guards surround and kill her. She was ready to fight Princess Anle to the death.
To her surprise, Princess Anle did not do so.
Lin Xiuyan understood Princess Anle's thoughts after a moment's thought; it must be said, this princess was a clever person.
Lin Xiuyan didn't change her clothes. After Princess Anle left the house with her guards, she jumped down from the roof beam.
Yihonglou is located on a small path along the river in the town.
It was nearly dusk, and the area was filled with bright red lanterns, the sounds of birdsong filling the air, creating a lively atmosphere.
Lin Xiuyan walked calmly down the street, having returned to her original appearance.
She was already extremely beautiful, and now, walking alone on the street, she was a sight to behold.
Soldiers coming down from the mountain could be seen everywhere in the town, and they all stared at her with wide eyes when they saw her.
Those eyes held scrutiny and greed, yet no one dared to make a move.
They knew that a woman who dared to appear alone on this street at this time was either someone who had wandered in by mistake without knowing anything, or someone who was extremely difficult to deal with.
Lin Xiuyan possessed an extraordinary temperament and a very composed demeanor; she didn't seem like someone who had wandered in by mistake.
These soldiers had heard that a big shot was coming to town today, and she was very likely that big shot.
She walked quickly, and Lin Xiuyan arrived just as Princess Anle reached the front of Yihong Courtyard.
She smiled and said, "Anle, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Anle's guards surrounded her, each one as if facing a formidable enemy.
Lin Xiuyan greeted Qingyuan with a smile: "Is your hand injury healed? Do you need me to give you some special medicine?"
Qingyuan stared at her coldly without saying a word.
Last time, Lin Xiuyan sprinkled something on him, and after it caught fire, it couldn't be put out.
The burning sensation continued to penetrate the skin and flesh, almost revealing the bone.
The injury wasn't serious, but it was extremely powerful and painful. Even though several days have passed, it still hurts terribly.
Princess Anle said calmly, "Miss Lin has quite the refined taste, coming all the way here."
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "I was just wandering around aimlessly when I unexpectedly ran into someone I knew here. I'm so happy."
As long as Princess Anle doesn't feel awkward about these small talk, she won't feel awkward either.
Princess Anle's eyes were cold and aloof, and she said expressionlessly, "I am also very happy to have met you."
"It's rare to see you, how about we go in and have a drink together?"
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "It is truly an honor to be invited by Anle."
Princess Anle always felt that there was a deeper meaning behind the way she called out the word "Anle".
And he didn't know why, but when she called "Anle," her voice was clear and cheerful, with a hook at the end, which made his heart itch.
He suppressed his discomfort, forced a smile, and gestured to Lin Xiuyan, "Miss Lin, please."
Lin Xiuyan reached out and pushed Qingyuan's unsheathed sword away a little, saying, "We are all civilized people. It's not good to fight and kill all day long."
"I hit it off with your master at first sight, and we're now best friends who can talk about anything."
The words "best friend" made Princess Anle raise her eyes slightly. Lin Xiuyan asked her, "Is that right, Anle?"
Princess Anle gave her a cold look and raised her hand to signal Qingyuan to sheathe her sword.
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "That's more like it! After things are settled here, let's go shopping together, okay, Anle?"
Princess Anle's face darkened further. As she walked to his side, he said coldly, "Don't call me Anle anymore!"
Lin Xiuyan would be a fool to listen to him: "I'm going to call her Anle, Anle, Anle!"
Princess Anle's forehead veins started throbbing again.
Lin Xiuyan winked at him: "How can we show our close relationship if I don't call you that?"
Princess Anle immediately recalled the scene of him standing naked in front of her, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Lin Xiuyan urged him, "Let's go, don't stand at the door and affect their business, let's go inside!"
Princess Anle snorted coldly and strode inside.
Lin Xiuyan chuckled, waved her hands behind her back, and then followed Princess Anle inside.
Grandpa Yu and Qingyuan, who were standing nearby, were dumbfounded. They exchanged a glance, completely bewildered by what was going on.
After all, when they were discussing matters that afternoon, Princess Anle spoke of Lin Xiuyan with such fervor that she wished she could chop her up with a knife.
In just over an hour, Princess Anle's attitude toward Lin Xiuyan had changed dramatically.
Will they still kill Lin Xiuyan?
The eunuch Yu couldn't understand it at all, and could only say, "The princess must have other considerations in this matter."
"If we follow the princess's instructions, we will not go wrong."
Qingyuan sheathed his sword and looked thoughtfully at Lin Xiuyan's retreating figure.
Not only could they not understand it, but Ye Junfei and Wu Ge, who were not far away, also could not understand it.
They were sitting in a teahouse not far away. They had changed into soldiers' clothes and were wearing human skin masks.
They look completely different now than they did before.
Wu Ge said softly, "Your Highness, Your Highness's Consort is truly amazing!"
"She only went out for a stroll, and she's already as close as sisters with Princess Anle. How did she do that?"
Ye Junfei said calmly, "There must be something fishy going on. She probably caught Anle doing something wrong while we were apart."
Wu Ge's eyes were full of admiration: "The Crown Princess is amazing. In such a short time, what leverage has she caught on Princess Anle?"
Ye Junfei couldn't guess for a moment, so he said, "She has now entered Yihonglou with Anle, and may be in danger."
"Right now, Yu Zhan is inside, An Le is inside, and Xiu Yan isn't exactly a peaceful person."
"Something big is likely going to happen at the Yihong Pavilion tonight. We need to find a way to support them."
Today's events, ever since Princess Anle appeared, have been racing headlong into the unknown.
They originally came today to subdue Yu Zhan, but now the difference in strength between the two sides is huge, and they are in a very passive position.
The Yihong Pavilion is now completely surrounded by Yu Zhan and Princess Anle's men, making it impossible for them to get in.
Although with Ye Junfei's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to break in.
However, he understood Lin Xiuyan's gesture just now; she was telling him not to act rashly.
If he rashly draws his sword and charges in now, he might ruin her plans.
What exactly does she want to do?
