Chapter 312 Entering the Princess’ Mansion
Late at night at the Li Mansion, Li Yan was crying bitterly. She could only pray that her father would have mercy on her, send her away and save her life.
"Father, Yan'er still has your blood flowing in her body. You can't just ignore Yan'er." Li Yan cried miserably, and even Li Yan stopped making sarcastic remarks.
"Yan'er is right. After all, you are my flesh and blood." Minister Li's tone suddenly softened, causing Li Yan's crying to stop for a moment. She didn't expect her father to change his mind so quickly.
"Come here, prepare the carriage." After saying this, Minister Li gave orders loudly.
"Master, she is the second prince's concubine. Do we really want to keep her? If we send her away, we will be the ones who suffer."
When Qin heard what Minister Li said, she looked at her husband worriedly. How could he ignore the lives of everyone in the mansion just for a married concubine's daughter?
"Madam, Yan'er is my daughter after all." Minister Li didn't say much, just glanced at Qin.
Not long after, Li Yan was put on a carriage by Minister Li while crying.
"Do you know what I have told you to do?" Minister Li looked at the servant driving the carriage and asked again in a cold voice.
"Master, I've got it." The servant nodded to Minister Li, reassuring him.
"Well, go ahead." Seeing this, Minister Li said no more.
So the family stood at the door and watched Li Yan gradually leave in the carriage.
"Master, do you really want to send Li Yan away? If the emperor finds out, our family will..." Qin turned her head and looked at Minister Li with a worried look on her face.
"Send it, of course I will."
Minister Li smiled contemptuously. If Li Yan really cared about their Li family, she would not have come here so late at night. He also remembered clearly the last time she and Shangguan Nanfeng almost forced him to death.
Since she has fallen into the trap, he is willing to go along with it. Otherwise, if Li Yan really runs away, people who don't know the situation will definitely suspect them.
"Master?" Qin saw her husband smiling like that and realized that there was something fishy going on, so she called out again with doubt in her eyes.
"As a woman, you don't need to know so much. You can find a good marriage for Yan'er tomorrow."
Minister Li looked at his wife, who looked as if she didn't understand, and didn't say much. After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back.
Seeing this, Qin hurriedly followed.
Li Yan in the carriage no longer looked as pitiful as before. Her expression was normal with a stern look in her eyes. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face bit by bit, then smiled contemptuously.
She didn't expect that her father was so easy to fool and agreed to send her away so quickly.
She originally wanted to use the Li family as a stepping stone to escape. As for what would happen to the Li family after she left, what did it have to do with her?
At this moment, Li Yan didn't care much about the fact that her biological mother was still in the Li Mansion.
On the dark and silent street, the only sound came from the carriage Li Yan was riding in, coming closer and closer.
After staying in the carriage for a while, Li Yan felt that the road out of the city was too long. Given the location of the Li Mansion, they should have been out of the city by now.
"How long will it take to get out of the city?" Li Yan asked for the third time.
"It's almost there, it's almost there." The servant driving the carriage outside answered the same thing.
Li Yan suddenly felt uneasy. She carefully looked at the surrounding scenery through the window of the carriage.
Although it was dark, I could still see things clearly through the hazy moonlight.
At first glance, Li Yan was even more certain that this road was not the way out of the city.
Li Yan panicked. It seemed that she had been deceived by her father. He was afraid that she would run away, so he wanted to hand her over to someone else.
Thinking of this, Li Yan was completely panicked, but she quickly adjusted her emotions and looked firmly in the direction of the servant.
The servant was driving the carriage attentively. Following Minister Li's instructions, he sent Li Yan to the Third Prince's residence.
Just when he was about to reach it, he was not paying attention and was kicked hard in the back. He then fell heavily to the ground. The huge pain made him faint.
Seeing that her sneak attack was successful, Li Yan spanked the horse's butt hard. She didn't know how to drive, but there wouldn't be any accidents on this flat street. No matter where her father wanted to send her, at least it was not a wrong decision to leave quickly now.
After a long time, when the carriage came to a complete stop, Li Yan got out of the carriage. She looked around and found that the residence of Princess Fuping was not far away.
Li Yan was stunned, then she thought of the feud between Fu Ping and Su Yue, and a plan came to her mind. Maybe God had already chosen the best hiding place for her.
Then Li Yan got off the carriage and hit the horse's butt hard again. The horse felt pain, neighed, and ran away.
"Knock knock knock" In the quiet night, Li Yan, wearing a cloak, gently knocked on the door of the Princess' Mansion.
"Who are you?" With the sound of the door opening with a creak, a servant rubbed his eyes and poked his head out.
"I am the princess's best friend. Please tell the princess that I know something about Su Yue and came to visit her specially."
Li Yan forced a smile and whispered, then handed the servant a silver ingot.
The servant had not woken up yet, but the cold silver ingot in his hand woke him up completely. He quietly weighed the silver and felt very satisfied.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go pass it on." The boy smiled and prepared to turn around and go in.
"Young man, take me in with you." Li Yan said, and gave another ingot of silver.
"This..." The servant hesitated as he looked at the two silver ingots in his hand. He originally wanted to swallow the silver ingots, close the door and go back to sleep. After all, it was not yet dawn, and he did not have the courage to disturb the princess's sweet dreams.
"Young man, just take me in, and leave the rest to me. I will protect you if the princess gets angry."
After Li Yan finished speaking, she stuffed another ingot of silver into the servant's pocket. When she saw the servant's expression, she knew that her guess was correct. This servant would never open the door again after closing it.
The servant looked at the three silver ingots in his hand and was finally tempted. Three such large ingots of silver were more than he could earn even after being a gatekeeper for three years.
As the saying goes, the brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation. The worst that can happen is a beating from the princess.
"Come in with me." After the servant said that, he slightly turned sideways to let Li Yan walk in.
Fortunately, everyone is asleep now and no one is bothering him. If it were daytime, he would not have the right to let strangers into the Princess's Mansion.
The servant brought Li Yan to Fuping's bedroom with basically no hindrance. When they met patrolling guards along the way, they were fooled by the gatekeeper with a few words.
After all, this servant has been guarding the gate all the time, and most people in the mansion know him, so it is not difficult to deceive them intentionally.
At this time, Fuping was so quiet that it was obvious that everyone was asleep. Even the two guards at the door were sitting on the ground and taking a nap.
"This is where the princess sleeps. Please wait a moment, it will be dawn soon." Before the servant finished speaking to Li Yan, he saw Li Yan quickly step forward and push open the princess's door.
The servant had never seen such a reckless person before. He was so scared that his mouth opened wide and he could not react at all.
"Who?" Fuping was awakened from his sweet dream and let out a soft cry. Then two dozing guards at the door rushed in and directly controlled Li Yan.
"Princess, if you want Su Yue to die, let them go." Seeing that the situation was urgent, Li Yan directly said what Fu Ping cared about most.
