After a few people walked to the martial arts field, the remaining three attacked Leng Pianran without hesitation.
Leng Pianran pulled out a hairpin from her hair, then she swung the hairpin in her hand, and a sharp silver thorn immediately emerged from the front of the hairpin.
Seeing Leng Pianran take out their weapons, the others no longer hesitated and took out their weapons.
The fourth prince Leng Li closed the folding fan in his hand, and a sharp blade appeared from the fan bone. The eldest princess Leng Qingyan drew the whip from her waist, and the third prince Leng Qingjue drew the soft sword from his waist. They all looked at Leng Pianran with cold eyes.
Then the four of them moved together. The palace servants around who heard the noise immediately lowered their heads as low as possible and quickly quickened their pace to leave.
A quarter of an hour later, they stopped. All of them were wounded, but Leng Pianran was the worst injured. Leng Qingjue looked at Leng Pianran and said, "It's a pity I can't kill you now, Second Sister." She bit the last three words hard, full of murderous intent.
The eldest princess Leng Qingyan also spoke up: "Second sister, are you still not admitting defeat?" The second princess Leng Pianran half-knelt on the ground and raised her head to look at Leng Qingyan and the others and said: "Admit defeat, but I haven't lost yet."
Then she changed the subject and said, "But according to the time, it's time for me to poison you." As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of the people opposite her changed.
Seeing this, Leng Pianran stood up and said, "Do you really think that I will fight you without any preparation?" Then she walked up to Leng Qingyan and said, "It seems that I have won this time, Big Sister."
Before she could finish her words, she felt a chill on her neck, and at the same time, Leng Li's voice rang out behind her: "Second sister, do you think you are the only one prepared?"
Leng Pianran turned her head to look at Leng Li behind her, not caring at all about the bloody mark on her neck caused by the sharp blade. Seeing Leng Pianran's behavior, Leng Li not only did not lighten the blade, but pushed the blade further in.
Immediately, a deep blood mark appeared on Leng Pianran's neck, and blood was flowing down his neck.
Leng Pianran looked at Leng Li calmly and asked, "When did you realize I poisoned you?" Leng Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Guess."
Leng Pianran looked at Leng Li for a long time without saying anything. Suddenly, the hairpin in Leng Pianran's hand quickly stabbed towards Leng Li.
Leng Li seemed to have expected this and dodged backwards, retracting the sharp blade in his hand and stabbing it towards Leng Pianran's arm.
Leng Pianran was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the arm by the sharp blade in Leng Li's hand. Her hand loosened instantly and the hairpin in her hand fell to the ground. A bloody hole appeared on her arm, and blood kept flowing out, soaking her black sleeves and dyeing them dark black.
Seeing this, Leng Li retracted the sharp blade in the fan and said to Leng Pianran, "Second sister, you lost." After that, he turned and left.
There were a few people left there. Leng Qingyan and Leng Qingjue were unable to move because the poison in their bodies had not been removed, and Leng Pianran had an arm injury.
Leng Pianran stood up, covered her wound, picked up the hairpin on the ground, glanced at the two people who were still there, and left.
In the end, Leng Qingyan and Leng Qingjue were carried back by their people.
Leng Yan, on the other side, was led by a palace maid to her own bedroom, Chaolu Palace. After entering the palace, Leng Yan looked at the bedroom that was still the same as it was ten years ago and said to the palace maid inside, "You go down first."
The group of palace maids looked at each other, then knelt down, bowed, and walked out of the hall with their heads lowered.
Leng Yan confirmed that her bedroom had indeed not been touched and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she walked out of the palace, stood in the courtyard and shouted, "Cen He." As soon as she finished speaking, a man in his thirties or forties appeared in front of her. He was wearing a jade crown, a black jade-inlaid waist belt, a Feiyan robe, and a knife hanging on the right side of his waist.
He knelt on the ground with his head lowered and said respectfully, "I'm here." When Leng Yan was seven years old, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty gave her a team of personal guards. This team of personal guards only obeyed the orders of Leng Yan and not others. Even the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty could not order them around.
Ever since Leng Yan left the capital for Emperor Qing Yuanzong, this team of personal guards had begun gathering information throughout the capital, so they could arrange for their work upon Leng Yan's return. Cen He was the leader of this team of personal guards, and the lower half of his face was covered by a black mask, obscuring his upper face.
Leng Yan glanced at him and then asked, "I want you to bring me all the information about the Prime Minister today."
Cen He respectfully said, "As you command," and then disappeared from the spot.
Less than half an hour later, someone brought all the information and evidence collected over the past few years.
Leng Yan checked it and made sure there was no problem, then sent someone to deliver it to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
After Leng Pianran returned home, he asked the imperial physician to bandage his wounds and then called his confidant and said, "Send a few people to check all the Nanfeng Pavilions in the capital." The confidant took the order and left.
Leng Pianran looked at the birds in the tree outside the window and murmured to herself, "I didn't say I gave up. Who will stand beside Yan'er in the end depends on who is more powerful."
At this time, the news about the return of the fifth princess was spreading like wildfire in the capital. Some young ladies from official families sent invitations to Leng Yan, inviting her to attend a banquet at their homes.
As for the purpose, on the one hand, it was to see what the newly returned fifth princess looked like, and on the other hand, it was because they heard that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Queen, the princes and princesses all loved the fifth princess extremely.
It can be said that if you want the stars, you get the stars, and if you want the moon, you get the moon. I wish I could bring all the best things in the world to her.
In less than half a day, the desk in Leng Yan's bedroom was piled with various invitations, but Leng Yan didn't even look at them and told the palace servants to decline them.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty felt complicated after seeing the evidence sent by Leng Yan. Although he was very happy that his daughter helped him, he did not want to let his most beloved daughter be involved in this matter. He just wanted Leng Yan to live a carefree life.
Looking at the evidence on the desk in front of him, he finally sighed and picked up the files to look through them. As time passed, the air pressure in the imperial study became lower and lower.
Finally, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty threw the file on the desk and rubbed his forehead. Liu Fude, who was standing by, hurried over to help the Emperor rub his forehead.
While rubbing him, he looked at the files on the desk, trying to find out what had made the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty so angry.
He looked at it and asked, "Your Majesty, what troubles you so much?" The Ming Emperor replied, "What else could it be except the Prime Minister's matter?"
Liu Fude had already finished reading the file. He said, "Your Majesty, the contents of this file are not enough to bring down the Prime Minister in one fell swoop." The Ming Emperor waved his hand to release his hand and said, "This is what I am angry about."
Liu Fude looked at the Emperor's expression and said tentatively, "Your Majesty, would you like me to invite the Fifth Princess to discuss this matter?"
After hearing this, the Ming Emperor immediately shook his head and said, "No need." After hearing what the Ming Emperor said, Liu Fude didn't know what to say.
Then the Ming Emperor picked up the file again and started reading it. Seeing this, Liu Fude returned to his position.
