Yuan Yao was taken aback.
She really wanted to ask—
Princess Lan Yue, what exactly is going on in your head?
Don't you have any idea what you've done?
However, you can't confront this innocent girl directly.
Otherwise, in the end, you'll be the one who suffers...
Yuan Yao forced herself to stay alert and deal with Jiang Lanyue.
She nestled limply in Danqing's arms, her voice hoarse, her little face full of confusion: "Princess Lanyue, Yao'er has a headache, why can't I understand what the princess is saying?"
Can't understand?
Jiang Lanyue's eyes flickered, and she bit her lip, saying, "Sister Yao'er, do you think that because Yue'er left the capital and stayed by the Empress Dowager's side, she has lost power and now despises Yue'er?"
Yuan Yao: "?"
What kind of twisted logic is this?
Turning the tables?
Yuan Yao sneered inwardly, but feigned a puzzled expression: "I don't quite agree with what Princess Lan Yue said. The Empress Dowager is the Emperor's mother, and even the Emperor has to treat her with utmost respect."
Wouldn't a princess raised by the Empress Dowager be... more powerful than ordinary princesses and princes?
Princess Lan Yue…why would she feel that the Empress Dowager has lost power or despise her?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lanyue exclaimed "Ah!"
She stared at Yuan Yao with her large, lifeless eyes.
Yuan Yao's bright, doe-like eyes, filled with a bewildered innocence, seemed to have a natural dullness in them, perhaps due to the long fever.
It seems she was overthinking it.
Yuan Yao is just a three-year-old toddler, where would she get any scheming from?
She prides herself on being smart, but at Yuan Yao's age, she's still just an innocent baby.
Not to mention, Yuan Yao is pampered by the Ninth Prince, and is innocent and naive...
Jiang Lanyue looked away.
The cuter and more charming Yuan Yao was, the more jealous she became.
Back then, she so desperately wanted to enter Qianhua Palace...
If it weren't for Yuan Yao, she would be the young mistress of Qianhua Palace now!
It's all Yuan Yao's fault!
With this thought in mind, Jiang Lanyue felt increasingly frustrated and jealous.
However, since things had come to this point, there was no point in saying anything more, and she had to endure it.
After taking a sip of tea, Jiang Lanyue found it bland and tasteless.
Jiang Lanyue bit her lip and said, "Sister Yao'er, speaking of which, I was also at fault for what happened last night."
It rained heavily last night and was very cold, so I took my medicine and went to bed early.
If I go out to check on things along the way, I won't let you get wet in the rain.
I just hope you won't blame your sister.
"Yao'er won't blame the princess," Yuan Yao replied understandingly.
Jiang Lanyue nodded and said, "Grandmother has been chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall, and no one dares to disturb the Buddha's peace. Don't blame her."
It turns out that Jiang Lanyue came not only to inquire about her actual illness, but also to plead for the Empress Dowager.
Unfortunately, Yuan Yao knew exactly what was going on.
Yuan Yao nodded: "Yao'er was kneeling to Buddha yesterday. This matter has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager."
Jiang Lanyue hummed in agreement and gently instructed, "In that case, in the future, when others ask, Yao'er, you should say the same thing, okay?"
Yuan Yao: "?"
Good heavens!
She was absolutely right.
At this moment, Danqing said, "Princess, the princess is still running a fever and should not talk for too long."
If the princess has no further instructions, this servant will take her back to feed her her medicine.
Yuan Yao coughed in agreement: "Cough cough..."
Jiang Lanyue frowned slightly, suddenly remembering Danqing's earlier reminder that it was easy to pass on illness energy. She raised her handkerchief to cover the tip of her nose and said softly, "Then Yue'er will go back first."
"Father punished me by making me copy the Rules for Students, but Yue'er hasn't even started copying it yet."
Danqing called out, "Someone, escort Princess Lanyue here."
Jiang Lanyue was politely asked to leave.
Yuan Yao coughed lightly and said to the air, "Po Yue, go with me to Huining Palace."
Broken Moon: "...Okay."
Yuan Yao cautioned, "Be careful, don't let anyone find out."
She remembered that there was a one-eyed expert in the Empress Dowager's entourage.
Unexpectedly, Po Yue said, "That person's martial arts are inferior to mine, and he cannot detect me."
They seem quite confident.
Yuan Yao pursed her lips: "In any case, proceed with caution."
Po Yue: "I'll kill him when I have some time."
Yuan Yao's lips twitched violently twice.
She thought for a moment and said, "This person almost killed me before, so I really can't let him go."
If we let him go, he's a ticking time bomb.
At this moment, Canfeng suddenly appeared out of nowhere: "How about I assassinate him tonight?"
Assassination?
Yuan Yao shook her head: "No."
This method, while simple and effective, carries too great a risk.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Find an opportunity to lure him out."
This person cannot be killed in secret; he must be dealt with openly.
"Does the princess mean..."
Danqing stood to the side, puzzled.
Even the simple-minded but physically strong cripple and Broken Moon didn't understand Yuan Yao's meaning.
Yuan Yao was helpless.
In her slightly hoarse, childlike voice, she said, "This person needs to be eliminated by other people."
Qianhua Palace cannot take action, and besides, they want the Empress Dowager to suffer this injustice silently, without being able to speak up.
Do you understand what I mean?
Who eliminated the Empress Dowager through other people?
Danqing said, "What the princess says makes sense."
It is well known that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have always been at odds.
If Qianhua Palace removes this person, people will say it's revenge.
However, if someone else were to handle the situation openly, the revenge would be taken, the hidden danger would be eliminated, and the Empress Dowager wouldn't dare say anything.
The lingering wind and the broken moon seemed to awaken simultaneously.
Sure enough, their little princess is clever!
No wonder she's the daughter of a nine-thousand-year-old!
Yuan Yao calculated the time.
There are seven days left until the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.
Time really flies...
Yuan Yao's gaze lingered on Canfeng for a moment before settling on Poyue.
A moment later, she looked up at the top of the hall.
She said in a hoarse voice, "All of you, come out here."
The hidden guards: "..."
They've been hiding for three days, and they've still been discovered!
A breeze swept through the hall.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Swish..."
Four bodyguards, dressed entirely in black, landed in the main hall.
Of course, the sounds were made intentionally.
After all, the young princess was far too delicate.
If they frighten the young princess, and the Grand Prince returns, he might have them skinned alive...
Yuan Yao asked Danqing to put her down.
She took small steps and circled around the four guards.
These four bodyguards looked as if they were made from the same mold, with almost identical height and build.
If she hadn't spoken up, the others probably would never have shown up.
Although, a thick fog also veiled their faces...
Yuan Yao asked, "What are your names?"
"Momentum".
"like."
"break."
"bamboo."
The muffled sounds came from the chests of the four people.
Yuan Yao: "???"
What the heck?
Is it called "unstoppable momentum"?
The person who named this secret guard camp must have been incredibly lazy!
Yuan Yao coughed lightly and said, "Um... it's like a hot knife through butter, right?"
During the three-day birthday celebration, I have a few things to tell you.
Make sure you get things done for me, just like your names suggest…
