Chapter 232 Thrilling Escape
Princess Mingyu continued, "But my sister has been so aggressive and persistent."
"As soon as my father dotes on me, you become almost mad with jealousy and come here to cause me trouble."
"Whenever the king gives you something good, you will try every possible means to snatch it away."
"Is there any sister like you?"
"You are the first one to pick out the good things in the house. You choose them. Only the things you don't want can be given to me. What else are you not satisfied with?"
He sobbed as he spoke, looking so pitiful and aggrieved.
Princess Qinghe spat and said viciously, "Seeing your pretending to be weak and pitiful face makes me feel extremely sick. Who are you trying to show off to?"
"My father might fall for your tricks, but I won't. I'm not my father, nor am I a man. Your hypocritical behavior won't evoke even a shred of pity from me. It will only make me loathe you even more."
Seeing this, Lin Pianran couldn't help but feel deeply sorry for Concubine Li's superficial glory.
As a mother, if you can't even protect your own children, what's the point of being so successful?
I don’t know whether King Zhao knows about this situation, and how true his feelings for Concubine Li are?
Perhaps, he knew all of this clearly, but just didn't care.
If she cared, why would Princess Mingyu be bullied so miserably?
And why did Huo Ye have to live in such a miserable state after being poisoned?
All the truth is just a cover-up for the extreme ugliness within.
Concubine Li is also extremely stupid. If she really doted on her children, why would their lives be so miserable?
He is busy running the house all day long. What is he trying to achieve?
What kind of life is this?
Could it be that Concubine Li is in the late stage of love-brain and doesn't care about the life and death of her children at all?
But looking at her graceful and elegant appearance, she doesn't seem like that kind of person.
What is the truth? Lin Pianran doesn't want to care.
But from the tragic experience in her previous life, she also understood a truth.
That is, at any time and in any place, good people may not necessarily be rewarded and will often be bullied.
When I think about my past life, wasn’t it a life worse than death?
Only by rising up to resist can we defeat the enemies and trample them under our feet.
Only then can you get what you want and live a happy and free life.
If you keep giving in, it will only prolong your suffering and you will never see the dawn of hope.
After regaining her composure, Lin Pianran was ready to show some mercy and help this weak and vulnerable little princess.
She found a handkerchief, covered her face with it, took out a dagger from the space, rushed forward quickly, and killed everyone with one blow. In an instant, all of Princess Qinghe's accomplices were killed.
Suddenly, the ground was covered with blood.
The air was filled with the foul smell of blood.
It's almost nauseating.
Lin Pianran acted extremely quickly and ruthlessly.
Seeing this crazy scene, everyone present was so scared that they screamed and cried like crazy.
“Ah…ah…murder!…”
"Help, help me..."
Lin Pianran ignored their cries.
She quickly rushed to Princess Qinghe and stabbed her in the stomach. After pulling out the knife, she cut a bloody wound on her left cheek.
This is to speak up for Princess Mingyu.
It's also revenge for myself.
Lin Pianran remembered everything about her and Gu Xiangsi's conspiracy to harm her.
She is a petty person. If someone wants to harm her, she always has to fight back to feel at ease.
Otherwise, if you don’t eat well or sleep well, wouldn’t you be torturing yourself?
Revenge is never delayed, that's her style.
After doing the bad thing, Lin Pianran ran away and slipped away quickly...
If her shouting attracted a powerful enemy, she might not be able to deal with it.
This doesn't mean she's timid, it means someone who knows the times is a hero.
If you can beat them, fight them. If you can't, run away...
After Lin Pianran fled from Princess Mingyu's courtyard in a panic, she found an opportunity to set several fires in the chaos.
Only when the palace was in chaos did she feel her safety was guaranteed.
Otherwise, she, the "little mouse" running around in Prince Zhao's mansion, would sooner or later be caught by those secret guards with unfathomable martial arts skills.
That was not the result she wanted at all.
If what Princess Qinghe said was true, the guards in Prince Zhao's Mansion were stricter than those in the Imperial Palace, then how could she have been sneaking around in Prince Zhao's Mansion for so long?
It was pure luck.
It is also possible that Huo Yuchen helped her attract the main firepower, which gave her the opportunity to take advantage.
Another possibility is that she had been moving around in the inner courtyard and was wearing a maid's attire, which allowed her to slip through the cracks and gain a great advantage.
The inner courtyard was filled with maids and nannies who had no fighting ability, which was also an important reason why she was not caught.
After figuring this out, Lin Pianran suddenly felt a chill on her back.
She felt like she was riding a tiger and was surrounded by tigers.
So, the more scared Lin Pianran was, the more she messed around.
Wherever you run, a raging fire will soon break out.
Soon, there were more than a dozen fires throughout the Prince Zhao's Mansion, and the firefighters were too busy to handle them.
There was chaos everywhere.
Cries for help, sounds of putting out the fire, shouting, crying, all kinds of sounds mixed together.
After doing the bad thing, Lin Pianran began to look for an opportunity to escape.
If you don't run away and get caught, the situation will be bad.
Relying on her memory, she felt her way towards the small side door she came in from.
He was holding a hidden weapon in his hand, ready to strike.
When I was about twenty or thirty meters away from the side door, I saw several figures swaying there.
There was also a faint sound of talking.
One of the men lowered his voice and said, "I don't know who they are. They sent a group of highly skilled men in black to kill us, leaving us crying and screaming."
"Fortunately, we have enough secret guards in our mansion and the defense is tight, otherwise these thieves would have succeeded."
"Don't you think they're weird? They came over for no apparent reason and started killing people, then retreated for no apparent reason after killing for a while."
"I don't know what they want to do by coming here. What are they trying to achieve?"
"It's really strange!"
Another man continued, "I'm also confused. Could it be that they're here to seek revenge? Shouldn't revenge be fought to the death?"
"If they're after money, then they haven't been seen robbing treasures. I really don't understand."
"There are so many strange things happening these days. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it anymore. It's just a waste of time and trouble."
"It's better to eat well, drink well, and live your own life well."
Another person said, "Those people in black have already fled. What's the point of us guarding this small side door?"
"I don't believe there would be thieves targeting such a remote door."
