Jingxin injected a few needles into the man's body, and he slowly woke up. "Tell me? Who sent you?"
The man didn't say anything, but gritted his teeth. However, after waiting for a while, the poison didn't take effect. As he was thinking, Lan Yu opened his hand, and there was a tooth on it. "Are you looking for this?"
"You are a suicide soldier, right? There are only a few places where you suicide soldiers hide poison. The most likely place is the back teeth. We found it without any effort. There is no possibility for you to commit suicide now. Even if you bite your tongue to commit suicide, we have two doctors here who can bring the dead back to life. You will not die." Lan Yu ruled out the possibility of the man committing suicide.
"Tell me, who sent you? Also, you can tell me about the current situation in Ye Nan." The man still didn't speak.
"Senior Sister, please help me!" After Lan Yu finished speaking, she walked to the front of the man and gave him another acupuncture. After a few needles, the man's face began to become hideous.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the man spoke convulsively and incoherently, "Yes, I am the high priest's man."
"Now...now...Ye Nan is under the control of the high priest. The regent is just a decoration and will not live long. The high priest wants the princess to be the saint of Ye Nan. I...know these, and the rest...I really don't know." After the man finished speaking, Lan Yu was stunned. This was just an insignificant death warrior, but he knew so much, so this should no longer be a secret in Ye Nan.
As if to verify Lan Yu's idea, Jingxin had just given the man an acupuncture needle when a sharp arrow pierced through the man's chest with a "swoosh" sound, followed by a burst of messy footsteps outside.
Lan Yu and the others went out. Outside were the guards of Ye Nan Palace. Bai Han walked from behind the crowd to the front, followed by two palace servants, holding two trays in their hands. "Yu'er, these are the clothes that Uncle Bai prepared for you. They are the clothes you will wear on your birthday. Your birthday is in a few days. It's not peaceful outside these days, so don't go out. The same goes for your friends. Just wait for your birthday in this yard." After saying that, he waved his hand, and the two palace servants came forward with the trays.
Lan Yu clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his flesh. The pain in his hands told him that he was not dreaming. It was also this pain that reminded him not to panic. He tried hard to calm himself and make himself look calm.
"Yu'er thanks Uncle Bai. Yu'er knows and won't run around." Although she didn't believe it now, but thinking about what her father said to her today and looking at the current situation, she could only obey him first and find out what was going on.
Bai Han didn't expect Lan Yu to be so obedient. He left his things behind and took his men away. However, there were guards at the doors of all the doors in Lan Yu's yard, so they couldn't get out. They were placed under house arrest the next day after they returned.
Lan Yu told Xiao Hang and the others about his meeting with Lan Minhang today. "Listening to what your father said, and considering what that assassin said, maybe Ye Nan is really not doing well now." Xiao Hang frowned tightly. It seemed that Ye Nan's condition was worse than he expected.
"Sister Lan Yu, that person said that the high priest wants you to be a saint. What's going on? What does a saint do?" Liuyun recalled what the assassin had just said. He didn't quite understand.
"The Saint of Yenan is a symbol of the Holy Spirit and a deity in the hearts of the people of Yenan. But eighteen years ago, the Saint lost her virginity and aborted the baby when she became pregnant. She eventually sank into the abominable water of Yenan. Since Bai Li, there has been no Saint in Yenan. The Saint is also the leader of the Nightingales, a group of assassins raised by the Yenan court. They are collectively called Nightingales." Lan Yu told all the stories about the Saint that he had heard since he was a child.
Xiao Hang was attracted by "Bai Li", "Bai Li, are you sure the last saint is called Bai Li?" Xiao Hang thought of Chen Qiu's master Bai Li.
"Yes, there is no mistake. Bai Li is Bai Han's biological sister. I have heard of this Bai Li from Bai Han's mouth more than once. What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Lan Yu said with certainty.
Xiao Hang looked at Lan Yu, then said something that none of them could have expected, "I've met Bai Li."
"She is Madam Xiaochenzi's master. I spent a few days with her in the northwest. She is about the same age as your father, but I'm not sure if they are the same person."
"Northwest? But everyone knows that she was sunk into the disgusting water. She was sunk in front of the whole city. How could she still be alive with stones tied to her feet? Who has the ability to save her in front of the whole city?" Lan Yu looked at Xiao Hang in disbelief.
"Maybe we just have the same name. We must see your father again. You must find out what is going on. You can't become that damn saint. If you become a saint, your life will be over." I'm done too. Xiao Hang swallowed the last sentence back into his stomach. What should he do without Lan Yu?
He had already missed it once before. What if he had to watch Lan Yu sit on that throne and live a lonely life? He couldn't do it. Even if she couldn't be with him, he hoped that Lan Yu could live a happy life, instead of being tied to that throne forever by those people, living a life without freedom and happiness.
"Do you care?" Lan Yu couldn't help asking after hearing what Xiao Hang said. She thought she no longer cared, but it turned out that when he defended her, she still had a glimmer of hope.
"Of course..." Ran cared, but before she could finish, Lan Yu raised her hand to stop her, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask." Lan Yu still didn't dare to face it. She was afraid of hearing words she didn't want to hear.
"You draw a distribution map of the palace. My lightness skill is the best here. I will go find your father after nightfall to clarify everything. Only when we know the whole story can we think of a better solution." Xiao Hang smiled bitterly and changed the subject. He still had a long way to go in his quest for his wife.
Lan Yu did not continue to dwell on this issue. Although she did not stay in Silvermoon City for a long time each year, she had a very good memory. As long as she had been to a place and seen something, she would remember it for a long time.
Lan Yu took out a pen and paper and drew a map of the palace layout while explaining, "If you take this route, my father will meet you and ask you everything he needs to ask. He will ask you all the questions we have in mind so that we won't be in a passive position."
They are now facing several problems.
First, to what extent does Bai Han control the government now?
Second, what is the attitude of the ministers and princes in the court?
Third, how to rescue Lan Minhang.
"Tell my father, I don't care about his status or mission. I only care about him as a father. I just want him to be well. At worst, I can take him to the Medicine Valley and never care about worldly affairs. We can be an ordinary father and daughter." Lan Yu made up her mind. After all, she grew up outside and she had the ability to support him in his old age.
