Although they stopped people, this place itself was very conspicuous. People on the next hill could see them just by turning their heads. Those sitting there were the most distinguished group of people in Haojing.
Not to mention those people, even those who come and go to pray in front of the Yue Lao tree can see the pavilion on their side. You just can't hear what they are saying, but you can still see people clearly.
"I, I want to ask you to save my sister." Jiang Lanyi was silent for a long time before she opened her mouth to plead.
"I know you must have a way to detoxify my sister. You are, you are that person, you must have a way, right?"
"Who?" Although Xu Tianze's expression did not change, the hand hidden in his sleeve had already pinched the silver needle.
Although he did not have any internal strength, it was still very easy for him to kill someone by surprise. When he knew the intentions of the nobles in Haojing, he had already prepared to reveal his identity.
But he had imagined countless scenarios and planned for all kinds of dangers, but he never thought it would happen on such an ordinary day.
The Sixth Prince and Yun Wuyou were stunned for a moment. They were confused by what he said. Could it be that Lan Zexu had some other hidden identity? Why didn't they receive any news?
The two looked at each other and saw that the other also had an innocent look on his face. They felt somewhat comforted. It seemed that they were not the only ones who didn't know. Then they stared at Jiang Lanyi closely, waiting for Jiang Lanyi's next words.
The third prince stared at Jiang Lanyi solemnly, his body subconsciously straightened, murderous intent brewing in his eyes. At this time, he revealed that Lan Zexu was Xu Tianze.
If Lan Zexu goes crazy, it will be a disaster. Logically speaking, such secret information should not be revealed except to the top leader and the core members of each family.
Even the core members of the family are divided into different levels and cannot be revealed easily. According to the situation of Jiang Lanyi and her sister in the house of the Minister of Justice, they should not be exposed to such confidential matters.
Jiang Lanyi felt that all eyes were on her and she felt a little uneasy. She also overheard Lan Zexu's true identity by accident.
Later, rumors spread in Haojing that Li Yi had first angered Lan Zexu, and then the King of Nanyang had ruined Lan Zexu's reputation, so Lan Zexu attacked Li Yi.
It was just that Li Yi was lucky and was finally cured of the poison by King Nanyang. Therefore, Lan Zexu, who was still angry, poisoned her elder sister again.
When she heard it, she quickly asked her elder sister. Her elder sister couldn't stand it anymore and was afraid that she would act impulsively, so she told her the original plan.
She still remembered her elder sister's words at the time: "Lan Yi, whether he is Lan Zexu or that person, he has no hostility towards you and me. How credible are those rumors you heard from the Gan Kingdom?"
"If this poison was really given by Lan Zexu, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive today. In the final analysis, it's just that someone doesn't like me and wants to use Lan Zexu's stigma to get rid of me."
"You still need to be careful. You and I have offended very few people. Even Mother's political enemies look down on us. Right now, it's just because you want to marry the King of Nanyang's favorite illegitimate son that you've angered someone."
"I will ask for your hand in marriage. With the protection of the King of Nanyang, you will be able to live a safe and secure life. This is the last thing I can do for you."
When she found out, she felt like the sky was falling. She didn't understand why there were always so many people who were eager to take her and her sister's lives when they just wanted to live a peaceful life.
"Why?"
"What?" Jiang Lanyi was pulled back to her senses and looked at Xu Tianze in confusion.
"Why should I save your sister? Who is it that wants to save your sister?" Xu Tianze flicked the chopsticks on the table towards Jiang Lanyi with his finger, and put the silver needle back at the same time.
If I'm not mistaken, Li Yi and Jiang Lanyun are running towards this direction. If they continue to kill people, there's no way they can get away with it peacefully.
Jiang Lanyi wanted to say something, but the chopsticks flew over and hit her body directly. Although it hurt for a while, it was soon fine.
She thought that she had angered Lan Zexu, so Lan Zexu insulted her like this, but when she was about to open her mouth, she found that she could no longer make a sound.
The atmosphere was tense, but everyone's eyes widened in an instant when they saw this scene. They had seen people being killed before, but it was the first time they had seen someone being killed so dumbfounded by using just a pair of chopsticks.
As they looked at each other, their bodies trembled uncontrollably. They couldn't imagine how suffocating it would be if they were treated like this and couldn't speak.
"Brother Lan, please show mercy!" Li Yi's breathless voice came from a distance.
"Looks like the person involved is here." Xu Tianze's aura dissipated and he returned to his lazy look.
Yun Wuyou and the other two also tidied up their appearance, acting as if nothing had happened, and waited leisurely for Li Yi and Jiang Lanyun to come over.
"Greetings to the two Your Highnesses, Young Master Yun, and Brother Lan. My... fiancée is used to being reckless. If I have offended her in any way, I hope you will forgive me." Li Yi walked over quickly and bowed. Except for a pause when he introduced his identity, there was nothing else that was rude about him.
"It's funny, this guy is in love with his elder sister, but it's his younger sister who's engaged. If this happened in Gan Country, it would just be two women sharing one husband, but in Minglan Country, there's no such thing as two women marrying one man."
"Why don't you, Brother Li, explain to me what this means?" Xu Tianze said cynically, deliberately darting his gaze back and forth between Li Yi and the other two.
"You." Li Yi's face was full of anger. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to teach Xu Tianze a lesson.
"Why are you angry? Why don't you explain first what I mean by poisoning Jiang Lanyun?" Xu Tianze sneered and confronted him directly.
He had only been in Minglan Kingdom for a short time, but he had been blamed one after another day, and most of them were from the Nanyang Palace.
Could it be that he really thought he was a soft persimmon? If he was really provoked, the Nanyang Prince's Palace would simply poison everyone to death.
Xu Tianze's words were like a bucket of cold water, which immediately extinguished Li Yi's anger and even made Li Yi look embarrassed.
There have indeed been constant rumors about them recently. At the beginning, Lan Zexu wanted to help him, but who knew that later his mother had to go back on her word and make things difficult for Lan Zexu because of that person's order.
He was originally feeling a little guilty, and after hearing about Lan Zexu's poisoning, he wanted to find his mother to clarify the matter directly, but his mother said that it was that person's idea, otherwise the rumor would not spread so quickly.
He felt even more guilty towards Lan Zexu, and most importantly, he had no way to clarify the matter and could only let the rumor spread.
