Chapter 334 That Idiot Is Dead
As the carriage jolted along, Lan Xiyue gradually closed her eyes to rest. When she opened them again, it was already dark and they had returned to the imperial city. She called out softly, "Stop!"
Upon hearing this, An Yi immediately stopped the horses and the carriage stopped steadily.
Lan Xiyue got off the carriage and said to An Yi, "You drive the carriage back first. I'll go for a walk."
Although An Yi was worried, he did not dare to disobey and could only drive the carriage away slowly.
The night is as dark as ink, dotted with stars. Above the bustling night market, there is a bustling crowd and brilliant lights. Lan Xiyue, Chuchun and Chuxia are strolling on the streets in the night.
The shouts of vendors on both sides are heard one after another, making the place very lively.
Chuxia and Chuchun were no longer as uncomfortable as before when they returned. Chuxia pointed to a place where a crowd of people were gathered ahead and shouted excitedly, "Miss, look ahead, it's so lively!"
Lan Xiyue looked in the direction Chu Xia pointed, and saw a group of people watching an acrobatic performance in front of her. She watched quietly for a while, but her eyes suddenly became sharp. Not far away, there was a familiar figure.
She turned to Chuchun and Chuxia and said, "You guys should go back early. I have something to do." Before she finished speaking, she started walking towards the alley where the figure was.
Chuchun and Chuxia looked at each other in bewilderment. When they came to their senses, their young lady had quietly disappeared in the bustling crowd.
"Miss, where are you going?" Chu Xia stamped her feet, looking anxious.
Chuchun seemed more composed. She said softly, "Young lady must have important matters to attend to. Let's go back. Young lady is a skilled martial artist and can handle danger with ease. On the other hand, if we follow her, we will only become a burden to her."
Chuxia also knew that what Chuchun said made sense, so she had to pout and leave the bustling place with Chuchun.
Lan Xiyue followed a familiar figure and quietly came to this remote river.
This river is the moat leading to the outside world. At this moment, there is no one on the river and it is pitch black all around. Only the laughter coming from the night market in the distance adds a bit of vitality to this quiet night.
Suddenly, the figure in front stopped and turned to look at Lan Xiyue, "Lan Xiyue, why are you here? Are you following me?" Yun Yiyi's voice was filled with surprise and displeasure.
Lan Xiyue's lips curled up into a half-smile, "Yun Yiyi, didn't you deliberately lead me here?"
Yun Yiyi frowned when she heard this. She was planning to go to the night market with Sister Yan tonight, but unexpectedly saw Lan Xiyue. Sister Yan had privately told her to find an opportunity to lure Lan Xiyue to the river, but why hasn't Sister Yan come yet?
The surrounding darkness made her feel an unprecedented fear. Yun Yiyi swallowed hard and couldn't help but glare at Lan Xiyue, "Who deliberately led you here? It was clearly you who was following me!"
Lan Xiyue couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, "Yun Yiyi, who are you trying to fool? No one would believe such a clumsy lie."
Yun Yiyi snorted lightly, with a hint of stubbornness between her eyebrows: "You...you can believe it or not!"
Lan Xiyue stood aside, her face calm. "Yun Yiyi, I'd like to kindly remind you not to get too close to that Bai Lianhua, or you might get sold out without even knowing it."
Yun Yiyi's face darkened when she heard that, and she said unhappily, "Don't talk about Sister Yan like that. And who I'm close to is none of your business."
Lan Xiyue was speechless: "Okay, it was unnecessary for me to do this. Just stay here and enjoy the night view. Maybe you can see something else." After that, she turned around and was about to leave.
"You are not allowed to leave!" Yun Yiyi yelled. Sister Yan hasn't come yet, Lan Xiyue can't leave. Didn't Sister Yan say that she would teach Lan Xiyue a lesson? Why hasn't she come yet?
Lan Xiyue didn't stop or turn her head, as if she hadn't heard it.
Yun Yiyi was anxious. She trotted forward and grabbed Lan Xiyue's sleeve tightly. "Lan Xiyue, are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said? Don't leave."
Lan Xiyue stopped, her eyes darkened, and she said coldly, "Yun Yiyi, who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you? Let go!"
"No... I won't let go!" Yun Yiyi responded stubbornly, holding on tighter with both hands.
At this moment, a hidden arrow attacked like a ghost. Yun Yiyi screamed and grabbed Lan Xiyue tightly with both hands. Lan Xiyue turned her head to avoid an arrow, and then several more arrows came through the air.
She growled, "Let go!" There was a hint of anger in her voice.
Yun Yiyi cried and shouted, "I won't let go, I'm scared." Tears welled up in her eyes, but she still held Lan Xiyue tightly.
Lan Xiyue wanted to curse, "Fuck, are you scared now? No, it's none of my business if you're scared. You're such a troublemaker."
The sound of the arrow breaking through the air was sharp and piercing, carrying the threat of death, which was heart-wrenching. Lan Xiyue was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and rolled on the ground. Unexpectedly, the two of them fell into the icy river water.
Yun Yiyi was terrified, and her hands tightly hugged Lan Xiyue's waist like iron clamps. Her fear and helplessness seemed particularly real at this critical moment of life and death.
Lan Xiyue secretly groaned in her heart. Yun Yiyi's tight embrace restricted her movements. In the dark, men in black appeared. They looked coldly at the river surface and shot arrows like rain without mercy. Lan Xiyue had no time to care about anything else and could only sink to the bottom of the river.
The river water was icy cold, and Lan Xiyue tried to dodge the arrows falling like raindrops with her extraordinary perseverance and swimming skills.
Yun Yiyi, a pampered young lady, could not bear such pain. Not long after she sank, she fainted because she couldn't hold her breath. Even so, her hands were still tightly holding Lan Xiyue.
Bai Lianyan walked out from the shadows with a crazy smile on her face. She asked coldly, "How is it? Did you kill him?"
The man in black replied respectfully, "Don't worry, Miss. They were definitely shot to death."
Bai Lianyan laughed even more arrogantly when she heard this: "Lan Xiyue, you are finally dead. How can you marry the Regent, and the Regent won't even look at me?"
The man in black hesitated for a moment and reminded her, "Miss, Miss Yun also fell into the river. We were shooting arrows into the river crazily just now. I'm afraid she also..."
Bai Lianyan snorted disdainfully: "That idiot is dead, so be it." After saying that, she turned and left.
Seeing this, the man in black also left.
Just when Bai Lianyan thought everything was settled, Lan Xiyue was quietly floating up with Yun Yiyi under the river. Her eyes were gloomy. After getting ashore, Lan Xiyue gently pressed Yun Yiyi's chest and pinched her philtrum.
Yun Yiyi woke up slowly, her eyes full of confusion and fear. Before she could come to her senses, Lan Xiyue slapped her in the face.
