Xie Rongyu now knows her identity and has found her family. Should she stay or leave?
Xie Zhaozhao said, "Rongyu, what are your plans? If you want to leave, I'll give you my indenture."
“Master, my sister and I have discussed it and will stay by your side forever. I disdain the surname Lu and will be called Xie Rongyu for the rest of my life. My sister will return to the Queen's Empire and take back everything that belongs to my mother.”
"Okay, then I'll lend her a hand when the time comes."
According to lineage, Lu Feiyan is the true empress of the Queen's Empire.
"I beg you, Master, to keep my sister with you for now and protect her. The Wei family is searching everywhere for her; they turned the candy shop in the west of the city upside down today and destroyed a lot of things."
The younger sister was too young, and Xie Rongyu's strength was too weak to protect her.
Xie Zhaozhao looked at Lu Feiyan. To be honest, she would rather send troops and money to help her than keep her by her side.
This child has a bad temper. If anyone offends her, they might be poisoned without even knowing what happened. That would be terrible.
However, in Kyoto, only Seipuen could protect her.
No matter how ruthless Wei Jingzhong was, he dared not search Qingpu Garden.
Lu Feiyan immediately clenched her fist and pounded her chest: "I would never use poison on the people in the courtyard."
“People outside can’t use poison indiscriminately either. Killing someone is easy, and I have the ability to kill, but I won’t act recklessly,” Xie Zhaozhao said. “There are intricate relationships among the powerful and influential people in the capital, and a single move can have far-reaching consequences.”
"I guarantee that I will not use poison on anyone in Qingpu Garden, including the birds, cats, dogs, and flowers. I will not use poison when I am out, unless Madam agrees. Is that alright?"
"Alright, remember your promise, or I'll kick you out anytime."
In short, one should not be overly compassionate, nor should one indiscriminately use poison.
Lu Feiyan agreed to everything, her big, round eyes blinking: "Madam, don't worry, I'll be obedient."
Xie Rong handed his younger sister over to Xie Zhaozhao, repeatedly instructing her to obey her mistress and never harm her, before returning home.
Wei Jingzhong's family was stripped of the right to participate in the Empress Dowager's funeral. Wei Shixun then went back and reported Princess Yurong's idea of becoming empress, which infuriated Wei Jingzhong.
He immediately went to the princess's residence and entered a secret room to deal with Princess Yu Rong.
Princess Yu Rong has become more shrewd. She immediately summoned a team of guards to stand by outside the secret room, and then entered the secret room with her personal bodyguards.
"Yu Rong, I heard you've squandered all your money?" Wei Jingzhong immediately launched his attack.
"No, I didn't use it for investment. I'll have to wait three months to realize the cash."
What a bastard!
Three months. Does she even know what three months means?
Wei Jingzhong, his face dark, said violently, "Princess Yurong, you probably don't understand my methods. Don't think that just because you have resources you can become a master. I have a thousand ways to make you die without knowing why."
Princess Yu Rong rolled her eyes and muttered, "You only act tough in front of your own people..."
"What did you say? Speak louder!" he threatened, though he genuinely couldn't hear him clearly; he thought Princess Yu Rong was cursing him in a low voice.
"Speak loudly if you want, but you're only using your own people against me. If you're so capable, go and kill Gu Shaoyu, kill all those princes and grandsons, then you'll only be able to threaten me!"
"What is Gu Shaoyu? A poor man from a noble family. Without His Majesty, how difficult is it to settle scores with someone who lives by clinging to the court? As for your half-brothers, I will get rid of them all sooner or later."
"Then go ahead and remove it! Anyone can talk a good game!"
"You bastard, you've got some nerve, daring to argue with me like this?" Wei Jingzhong was furious. He never expected that the wolf he had raised would bite him instead of its opponent.
Princess Yu Rong, after being slapped, angrily shouted, "Guards! Arrest him for me..."
Wei Jingzhong was a military general, and even in his seventies, he could easily kill Princess Yurong.
He grabbed her by the neck and roared, "You're asking for it!"
When the guards entered, they saw Wei Jingzhong grabbing Princess Yurong by the neck. They hesitated to act for fear of harming her.
Princess Yu Rong realized that these guards had probably all been bribed by Wei Jingzhong.
She was terrified and cried out, "Xi Luo, Xi Luo!"
A dark figure flashed by, and Wei Jingzhong hurriedly called for his shadow guards, but he did not expect that the shadow guard named Xiluo was so powerful that his shadow guards were no match for him and were killed on the spot.
Wei Jingzhong looked at the sharp sword pressed against his neck and released Princess Yurong.
"Yu Rong, I am your maternal grandfather. I have protected you for more than 20 years. How can you repay kindness with enmity?"
Princess Yurong was nearly strangled to death by him. After coughing for a while, she said, "Can you speak to me properly now?"
She started referring to herself as "this Empress" again, and Wei Jingzhong felt like he was choking on blood, regretting his actions.
How could he be so blind as to entrust his life and fortune to this scoundrel?!
Princess Yu Rong told Xi Luo to step down and sit back down. She watched as Xi Luo disappeared again, and she was very impressed. She had rescued this bodyguard by chance a few days ago.
When she returned from keeping vigil for the Empress Dowager in the palace, she saw Xiluo being surrounded and killed by a group of men in black. He was not afraid at all and killed them all.
He was also injured.
Princess Yurong saw that he was highly skilled in martial arts and rescued him. She learned that he was the shadow guard of Pei Kunfu, whose family had been raided and destroyed a few days ago.
Now that the man was unclaimed, Princess Yu Rong had an idea and decided to take him in.
After a few days of rest, his injuries had almost healed. Fortunately, we called him today, which saved his life.
Princess Yurong said to Wei Jingzhong, "If you want money, I'm not refusing to give it to you, but I'm just short of funds for the time being. Besides, you have to use your brain when doing things."
