Xiao Li fell asleep due to the effects of the medicine, but he only slept for two hours.
She woke up before dawn and stood up to get out of bed, but her feet went weak and she almost fell, her whole body feeling limp and powerless.
"Princess......"
Lan Yue and Hong Yue were guarding here together. Lan Yue was more alert and immediately noticed that Xiao Li had gotten up.
Xiao Li waved at her: "Go to sleep, I'm going out for a walk."
Lan Yue stood up and took out her outer garment to put on Xiao Li: "The night dew is cold, and the princess is weak. Don't catch a cold."
She still put it on herself. Xiao Li pinched her cheek and said, "Okay, I'm fine. You don't have to come with me."
I pushed the door open and saw that it was bright outside. The round moon was still hanging in a corner of the sky, shining with its afterglow.
Only now did Xiao Li finally appreciate the Mid-Autumn moon. It was indeed bright and round.
Without the need for lights, she could clearly see everything around her, walking along the corridor and all the way up to the third-floor attic.
He lit a candle and took out the shotgun from the secret cabinet.
All the bullets made before have been used up, and there was no rush to replenish them, so now there is only an empty gun.
A gun without bullets is just scrap metal. It was her fault for being lazy.
Because he knew that he couldn't kill Liu Xueyin and couldn't find a way to break the spell for the time being, he became lazy.
It's really wrong.
Especially since she was almost raped by Lu Yanzhi due to her momentary negligence, it was such a shame.
My body is still very weak and I don't have much strength in my hands, especially since the effect of the medicine has not completely worn off. My body is extremely sensitive and it hurts and itches if I use any force.
But this did not affect her from polishing the bullets.
Fill with gunpowder, put in iron balls, compact and close.
Reloading.
Raising the gun, he looked down at the building where Lu Yanzhi lived now.
Too bad, this isn't a sniper rifle.
But soon, she will be able to make it soon.
She didn't know if it was because of the medicine Cen An gave her or something else, but even though she wanted to kill Lu Yanzhi now, she felt very calm.
She was so calm that there was not a single emotion in her. Killing him was inevitable, as inevitable as drinking water, but it was not worth her having any emotion.
Xiao Li suddenly realized that this was herself.
Those emotions of unwillingness, resentment, and madness were all infected to her when she was trapped in her original body.
And she herself...had long been a person with a dead heart, neither sad nor happy.
Although he had just experienced such an infuriating thing, Xiao Li's mind was surprisingly calm at the moment.
She couldn't kill Liu Xueyin, but on the chessboard, the lone general would die.
She couldn't kill Liu Xueyin, but she could always weaken her.
She didn't feel much about being a princess, but having this identity made it much easier for her to act in this world that emphasized hierarchy.
So she had to maintain her identity, eliminate everyone around Liu Xueyin, and then... catch her.
Yes, if they can’t be killed, they can at least starve to death, right?
If one can survive without eating or drinking, then he is a god, but Liu Xueyin is not one of them now.
"Ha ha......"
Xiao Li couldn't help but laugh. She wanted to know what to do with the ghost thing that was protecting Liu Xueyin.
But Liu Xueyin is not in a hurry now. She still needs to find a place to hide the person. Otherwise, her admirers are so capable that they can rescue the person by relying on the guidance of fate, and then her plan will be in vain.
Therefore, the most important thing now is to get rid of the people around her.
The first one, of course, is Lu Yanzhi.
Lu Yan's death was easy. If she ran over and shot him now, he would never see the sun tomorrow. But after killing him, the Lu family would definitely ask her to pay with her life.
Even if she didn't kill Lu Yanzhi with her own hands, and let Lu Yanzhi die outside, the Lu family would never let her go.
The imperial power and the aristocratic families seem to be the relationship between the ruler and his subjects, but in fact they are a check and balance.
The emperor was afraid of those aristocratic families and also afraid of the Lu family.

The second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a day off, but because of what happened last night, the emperor got up early after only a short sleep.
He had just put on his clothes when the eunuch came to announce, "Your Majesty, Princess Xuanyang requests an audience."
The emperor looked up at the sky in surprise: "So early?"
Eunuch: "The princess will come as soon as the palace gate opens."
"Let her in."
The emperor washed his face and went to the front hall, still wondering why Xiao Li came into the palace so early.
Xiao Li was dressed in red, like a young man, with his hair tied up with a crown. He was tall and slender, tied with a belt, and waving a folding fan in one hand, looking like a handsome and romantic young man.
Without waiting for the emperor to question her attire, she smiled brightly and spoke in a clear voice.
"Brother, I want to help you with a favor."
The emperor's expression instantly turned suspicious: "You are mistaken, you are the one who wants my help?"
Xiao Li shook his head: "No, I want to help my brother."
Hearing such a joke early in the morning made the emperor feel much more energetic.
"Okay, tell me what you can do to help me?"
Xiao Li swung his folding fan, looking very handsome, but he quickly moved in front of the emperor, shielding himself with the fan, and whispered to him, "I will help you get rid of the Lu family."
Emperor: ...This joke is even colder than the last one and not funny at all.
"Stop messing around, get out now, I have something else to do."
Xiao Li sighed: "I knew my brother wouldn't believe me."
The emperor glanced at her coldly: "You are talking nonsense, what do I believe?"
Xiao Li raised his eyes and looked at him with a smile: "Then my royal brother, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
The emperor frowned, a little annoyed.
Xiao Li placed her folding fan lightly on his shoulder. "What are you angry about, my royal brother? I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."
"One month... well, that's a bit short. Within two months, I will make the Lu family disappear from the court. What do you think, my royal brother?"
"My Royal Highness, you only need to give me some convenience when I'm doing this. I'll take care of the rest. As for the reward, I want an imperial decree of divorce with a golden dragon and jade scroll."
The Golden Dragon Jade Axis is the highest level of imperial edict, which needs to be posted on the bulletin board to announce it to the world.
"Brother, do you think this deal is worthwhile?"
The emperor and the princess were very close to each other, and the hall was too empty. Even the eunuchs closest to them did not know what the emperor and the princess said.
All we know is that Princess Xuanyang left with a smile and took away a gold token from the emperor.
"Someone come!"
"The servant is here."
Emperor: "What happened between Xuan Yang and the Prince Consort last night?"
The eunuch was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that the emperor didn't know.
"Your Majesty, last night, Princess Chen fell and a lion charged at her. Prince Chen went to fend it off, but the Prince Consort, desperate to save her, pulled her back but forgot to separate. After the lion was slain, the Princess took her sword and attacked until she injured Prince Chen."
The emperor frowned, was it just out of jealousy?
But Xiao Li's expression didn't look like he was blinded by jealousy.
On the contrary, he was fooled by her and actually agreed to her request.
The emperor felt a little regretful, but Xiao Li spoke with full confidence.
He would give her two months to see what kind of trouble she could cause.
