Chapter 58: Slap the Second Prince

【Brother, please put me down. 】

Lu Li struggled in Lu Heng's arms.

If there was someone else around her, those two idiots might not dare to do it.

She had to create opportunities for them.

Lu Heng hesitated for a moment, but finally put her on the ground as Lu Li requested.

Since Lu Ran was not around, the little palace maid wanted to dissuade Lu Heng, but she didn't dare.

At this moment, a palace maid ran over in a hurry and grabbed the two young eunuchs.

"Two eunuchs, please help us, there is a fire in the Beast Garden."

Here it comes!

Lu Li and Lu Heng both perked up.

This should be Lu Yuan's arrangement, a trick to get rid of the servants around them.

The two eunuchs looked at Lu Heng, and Lu Heng nodded: "Go, don't let the fire spread to this garden."

After getting Lu Heng's consent, the two young eunuchs went to help.

After they left, Lu Yuan also came.

"Third brother, the beast farm is on fire. It's such a big deal, we have to tell the Empress."

"Royal sister is right. I will take Xiaojiu back with me now." Lu Heng pretended to pick up Lu Li who was lying on the ground.

Lu Yuan was immediately anxious: "The maids are here, my ninth sister won't get lost. There is a new iron-eating beast that my father has captured in the beast garden. If it is burned to death, my father will be furious, and the empress will probably not escape the punishment for poor supervision. Let's go to Weiyang Palace first."

[Brother, go quickly, don't worry about me! ]

Lu Li was afraid that he would take her away.

If the emperor took her away, how would Lu Yuan and Lu Yan continue to perform this drama?

"Fourth sister, you are right." Lu Heng pretended to be persuaded and instructed the little palace maid.

"Keep an eye on the Ninth Princess. If she starts crying, have Sister Lu Ran take her back."

The little maid nodded with some fear.

She is the only one left to take care of the little princess. Can she do a good job?

Lu Heng gritted his teeth and made up his mind to leave with Lu Yuan.

My sister is so powerful, there must be a way. Father has also sent people to follow her secretly, so nothing will happen.

He left with Lu Yuan, full of thoughts.

Lu Yuanchong gave a look to Lu Yan who was not far away, indicating that he could move.

After the two of them left, Lu Yan walked towards Lu Li.

The young maid saw him and hurriedly bowed: "This servant greets the Second Prince."

Lu Yan ignored her and walked straight to Lu Li.

"Hey, Xiaojiu, do you remember me? I'm the second royal brother." He took out a candy from his pocket with a smile.

【Finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time. 】

Lu Li readily stretched out her hand to him, motioning him to pick her up.

Lu Yan looked at her dirty little hands and became a little hesitant.

"Ah ah!" Lu Li urged him.

The little palace maid said softly, "Second Prince, the Ninth Princess seems to like you very much and wants you to hug her."

Lu Yan tried hard not to look at her dirty hands and picked her up impatiently.

Lu Li wiped her dirty hands on him without hesitation. After a while, two black handprints appeared on Lu Yan's sky-blue clothes.

The veins on Lu Yan's forehead twitched, but he endured it.

"Xiaojiu, have some candy." He forced a smile and coaxed Lu Li to have some candy.

He ordered someone to add knockout drugs to the sugar, so that it would be easier to attack Lu Li if she took it. Once Lu Li fell asleep, he threw her into the water, making it impossible for her to even cry out.

Lu Li didn't open her mouth, but grabbed it with her hands and stuffed it into Lu Yan's hair in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yan's hair was stuck.

He almost couldn't help but throw her out with an angry look on his face.

Lu Li looked at his masterpiece and clapped his hands with satisfaction.

"Go get a basin of water. I want to wash my ninth sister's hands." Lu Yan instructed the little palace maid who was standing by.

The little palace maid was a little hesitant. The third prince had told her to take good care of the little princess, so she shouldn't leave.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go. How come I, the second prince, can't order a little palace maid around?" Lu Yan vented all his anger on the little palace maid.

"I dare not. I will be back soon. Please, Second Prince, take good care of the Ninth Princess." The little palace maid was startled and left quickly to fetch water.

Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Yan quickly carried Lu Li to the edge of the Jinming Pond in the Yu Garden.

Since Lu Li refused to eat the candy, he could only choose another way.

He put Lu Li on the ground, took out some candy and coaxed Lu Li to crawl forward. As long as she crawled a few more steps and left traces, so that his father could find out that Lu Li crawled into the water on her own, he would be fine.

Lu Li cooperated very well and climbed to the edge of the pool.

Lu Yan was overjoyed and threw the candy into the pool.

"Ninth sister, hurry up and climb. Look, the sugar is right in front of you." He urged.

But no matter how he urged, Lu Li, who had been crawling happily before, seemed to be stuck to the ground and did not move.

Lu Yan couldn't bear it any longer and raised his foot to kick Lu Li into the water.

At this moment, a wave suddenly rolled up in the water, wrapped around Lu Yan and dragged him into the water.

This sudden change left Lu Yan completely stunned.

The secret guards who were originally preparing to rush out to rescue people were also dumbfounded.

"Chief, the Ninth Princess didn't fall into the water. Should we still save her?"

The leader of the Dark Guards, Chu Yi, spoke ruthlessly: "The Emperor asked us to save the Ninth Princess, but he didn't ask us to save the Second Prince."

There's no point in saving him. The Second Prince isn't in a clear mind, so he should be allowed to soak in the water for a while longer.

"You are right." The dark guard retreated silently again.

"Help... Gululu Gululu!" Lu Yan struggled desperately in the lake, swallowing several saliva without uttering a word.

The water seemed to have a spirit. Every time he was about to float to the surface to take a breath, he would be dragged back into the abyss.

Lu Li sat up and had a lot of fun, controlling the lake water to swing Lu Yan around.

[You want to drown me? You weren't even born when I was playing in the water.]

[Is it fun to be soaked in water? This princess will let you have fun to your heart's content. ]

…

Lu Heng stopped halfway through his journey.

"No, Fourth Sister, I still have to take Ninth Sister back with me, or else Mother will scold me later."

He turned and walked back to the garden.

"It's okay, there are palace maids watching over there. Don't worry. The Queen won't scold you." Lu Yuan wanted to stop him.

But Lu Heng was as stubborn as a donkey and insisted on going back, so Lu Yuan had no choice but to follow him.

She thought secretly in her heart: It has been so long, it should be enough for Lu Yan to succeed.

The two returned to Yu Garden together, but saw no one, only heard Lu Li's laughter.

Lu Heng looked around and saw Lu Li by the pool.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.

"Ninth sister, be careful!" He rushed over quickly and picked up Lu Li.

The distance was so close that if Lu Li wasn't careful, she would fall.

Lu Li was a little disappointed. Her brother came back too quickly. With outsiders around, she couldn't continue to torment Lu Yan.

Seeing Lu Li intact, Lu Yuan's face changed drastically.

What happened? All the people were sent away, so did Lu Yan not take any action?
