She didn't actually collapse because she failed to kill Lu Yanzhi, but because she was trapped in this world and had no idea how to leave.
Even if she killed Lu Yanzhi, she was not sure whether she could leave.
Despair? She had been feeling desperate since the day she came into this world and was trapped in her original body.
But she couldn't, she couldn't be defeated like this.
She is Xiao Li, not Princess Xuanyang. She has never been overwhelmed by desperate situations. She will never give up in this damn place!
She bit herself hard with the last of her strength, her tongue stung and blood gushed out.
She swallowed her own blood, feeling the surging waves recede, and finally, everything returned to calm.
She can be a madman, a madman who will do anything to achieve her goals, but she cannot be forced to become a madman without any reason.
She was unwilling to accept being defeated in this damn place for no apparent reason.
Suddenly, the window was pushed open and a figure came in silently.
Xiao Li slowly turned his head and let down his guard after seeing who the person was.
The strong smell of wine was very pungent, and the overturned wine jar next to it was still dripping wine.
With bony fingers, he lifted the wine jar and set it aside, then half-crouched and leaned forward. "Princess, are you sad and regretful?"
It's hard not to guess that he became addicted to alcohol after visiting Lu Yanzhi.
Xiao Li curled the corners of his lips: "Eunuch Lou is really well-informed."
She opened her mouth and blood flowed from the corner of her lips, down her cheek and all the way to her neck.
Lou Yan's brows moved slightly, he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the blood.
His action surprised Xiao Li. This man's attitude was quite interesting.
She raised her weak hand and slowly reached towards his face. She stared at his expression until her hand landed on his face. He just frowned slightly and did not refuse.
"It's warm. Seeing your cold face, I thought it was cold."
Lou Yan: "Only dead people are cold."
Xiao Li gently brushed his face with her fingertips and said meaningfully, "I like dead people, but it's a pity that I almost got them."
When Xiao Li's hand moved towards his eyes, Lou Yan raised his hand, grabbed it and put it down.
"What do you want to do?"
He had his back to the light, so Xiao Li couldn't see his expression, but she could feel his scrutinizing gaze, so sharp that it seemed as if he wanted to see through her.
"What do I want to do?" Xiao Li asked himself, looking through him at the gray sky outside the window. Perhaps it was not the sky, but another world outside this sky.
"You should ask me what I can do. I don't know what I can do, so I might as well kill a few people for fun."
She suddenly laughed, and blood gushed out of her mouth again, but she didn't care. Her smile became brighter, crazy and weird.
She said, "Lou Yan, don't look at me. If you are attracted to me, you will be finished."
As she spoke, she took his hand in her backhand, interlocking their fingers, and looked at him with a mad look in her eyes and a brilliant smile. There was a charm in her madness, a deadly seduction.
She smiled and said, "Master Zhangxiang, why aren't you saying anything? Could it be that you are really bewitched by me and want to be my slave?"
It's both a seduction and a provocation.
Lou Yan stared at her deeply, and when she laughed wantonly, he suddenly lowered his head and moved closer.
The smile stopped abruptly, and Xiao Li slapped him in the face.
The hand, which had no strength to begin with, was grabbed by someone, and the big hand slid down the palm and interlocked with the other hand's ten fingers.
Lou Yan only kissed her once, at the corner of her lips, and her mouth was stained with blood when she left.
The narrow and evil eyes were filled with mist, and now they were stained with an even deeper and more dangerous darkness.
He licked the blood from the corner of his lips, as if he was tasting something delicious, like a bloodthirsty demon.
"A princess shouldn't mess with servants."
Xiao Li stared at him for a moment, then suddenly grabbed his hand and bit it hard.
------------
Mu Bai and Ling Yi were eunuchs who had followed Lou Yan all the way up. They didn't know their boss very well, but they knew him at least 80% well. However, today's boss was really a little confusing to them.
Mu Bai: "The boss is injured."
The smell of blood couldn't fool those of them who often dealt with blood, and even though his wrists were covered by his sleeves, they could still see some traces of the white handkerchief, and blood could be seen seeping out of the white.
Ling Yi seemed to be thinking: "Who hurt the boss?"
Mu Bai shook his head: "I can't think of it."
It’s not that no one can hurt Lou Yan. No matter how high Lou Yan’s kung fu is, it’s not to the point where he is the best in the world. But those who are better at kung fu than Lou Yan generally won’t attack him easily. If those people attack Lou Yan, it’s impossible for them to just hurt his wrist a little bit.
The two looked at each other: There is something fishy!
Of course, even if they noticed it, they wouldn't be stupid enough to go and ask, and they didn't want to try the boss's methods.
Mu Bai suddenly thought of something: "Have you told the boss about that news?"
Ling Yi was confused: "What news?"
Mu Bai glared at him and strode after him. "Boss, we found a secret passage. Once we get out, we're in the backyard of a clothing store on Jinluo Street. We asked the shop assistants, and one of them said he saw a woman enter through the back door that day and then disappeared. Even though the woman had her face covered, the shop assistant was taking measurements for people, so if he could see her figure, he'd definitely recognize her."
Lou Yan paused for a moment, then turned back to look at him: "Don't tell anyone about this. Deal with that guy."
Mu Bai instantly realized the seriousness of the matter. The boss was going to cover up the murderer, but he would not question it and would only follow orders.
"I'll go right away."
Is the guy's life innocent? No, he should have known the fate he would face when he opened his mouth to interfere in the conspiracy of higher authorities.
The case has not made any progress. The Lu family and the emperor are anxious. One side wants revenge, the other side wants face. However, there are not many clues about the murderer who disappeared out of nowhere, so it would be strange if they could find him.
The people in the Dali Temple suspected that the crime was committed by an acquaintance, otherwise it would be impossible for him to avoid all the guards of the princess's mansion so smoothly. Except for a few people around Xiao Li, almost everyone in the princess's mansion had been interrogated and knew nothing.
In the end, Meng Zheng was really helpless, so he turned his attention to Xiao Li and ran to ask her if she had any clues.
Xiao Li gave him a look and told him to figure it out himself, but their quarrel reminded her that she still had things to do.
Ask the emperor for private soldiers.
Assassins have come to her princess mansion once or twice, and the guards are like useless people. She needs to increase the manpower.
The princess's mansion originally had a hundred guards, but now she wants to increase it to two hundred, and she wants to choose experts, not those mediocre ones.
The emperor thought about this request and felt that it was not a big problem, so he agreed immediately.
Xiao Li took the imperial edict to select new guards, but as soon as he came out, he met Chen Pingting who was about to leave the palace.
It hits you directly, and there's no time to retreat.
unlucky!
