Chapter 381 Look how happy you are. If you don’t go to sleep now, you won’t be able to get up for your wedding tomorrow!
Lan Xiyue's eyes were as sharp as torches as she slowly scanned the familiar faces in front of her. These people were the servants who had always served her and her brother.
"I don't want any word of what happened today to leak out." Lan Xiyue's voice was as cold as frost, and she clutched a porcelain bottle tightly in her hand. "From now on, no one is allowed to discuss or mention this matter. You are all elders who have served me and my brother. You should know the consequences of disobeying orders."
Upon hearing this, the maids and servants were so frightened that they all fell to their knees and assured in unison: "Don't worry, young lady, we know nothing."
"Very good." Lan Xiyue's lips curled up into a smile, and then she said, "Come, each of you come to me and get a pill to take. As long as you can keep today's secret, everything will be fine. But if anyone dares to leak a word, it will be their own death."
When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale, but they did not dare to hesitate at all. They stood up and lined up to walk towards Lan Xiyue.
Every time someone received a pill, they swallowed it with trembling hands.
After everyone had received the pills and taken them, Lan Xiyue said calmly, "Alright, go back to your work. Everything is as usual. Leave now."
As the maids and servants left the courtyard one by one, Lan Shenye couldn't help but look at his sister with a complicated expression: "Yueyue, why is this happening? What on earth happened?"
Lan Xiyue made up a story casually: "Brother, it's the King of the Northern Frontier. He has a crazy idea and wants me to follow him to the desolate Northern Frontier. Naturally, I don't want to do that. He wants to capture me, humph, how can I let him control me? So, I can only..."
Lan Shenye frowned upon hearing this. "Yueyue, if the King of Beisai dies within the borders of Dongyao, it will inevitably lead to a war between the two countries. Neither you nor I can afford such consequences."
Lan Xiyue had a faint smile on her face: "He's already dead, there's no point in talking to him. Brother, don't worry, I will take care of it and won't let him become the fuse that triggers war."
Lan Shenye stood aside, looking at his sister's determined eyes, shook his head helplessly, and finally could only let out a long sigh and remained silent.
Lan Xiyue waved her hand gently, and An Yi approached like a shadow. She asked a question, and An Yi immediately said, "Princess, Tian Wu's disguise skills are quite superb. I will go and invite him here right away." After that, An Yi flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Not long after, An Yi hurried back with Tian Wu. Surprisingly, Mo Liyuan also came with them.
Lan Shenye clasped his fists towards Mo Liyuan, "Regent!"
Mo Liyuan nodded, took a step forward, and said softly to Lan Xiyue, "Yu'er, don't worry. An Yi has already informed me of everything. I will take care of this matter myself."
Lan Xiyue smiled slightly. She thought to herself that she had originally wanted to exchange for disguise pills in the mall for emergency use. Now that An Yi mentioned Tian Wu's disguise technique, it saved her a lot of trouble and also saved precious points.
Mo Liyuan hugged Lan Xiyue and left. Lan Shenye looked at their backs and breathed a sigh of relief. With the Regent around, there shouldn't be any problems even if King Beisai died.
In the room, Mo Liyuan stared at Lan Xiyue with deep eyes, "Yu'er, why did Wei Wuxian look for you? Why do you want to kill him again?" Wei Wuxian had just arrived here when the secret guard reported to him. He had just arrived at the military camp and hurried back after hearing the news. He happened to meet An Yi pulling Tian Wu. An Yi just briefly told him about the situation.
Lan Xiyue curled her lips. "He, like me, is also a time traveler. He is not the real King of Beisai at all. In modern times, he led people to kill me, and I died with them. I just didn't expect that he would also travel through time and become the King of Beisai. He wants my Ziyou Ring and even threatens me. Since he came to my door seeking death, I naturally have to oblige him."
Hearing this, Mo Liyuan tightened his grip around her, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile of approval played on the corner of his mouth. "Yu'er, well done."
Lan Xiyue suddenly raised her head and said, "Mo Liyuan, if I kill Wei Wuxian, what will happen to Princess Linchuan?"
Mo Liyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Wei Wuxian's death may be a relief for Linchuan." His gaze was deep. "She still has a pair of children. I will send people to protect them and let her son inherit the throne of Beisai. If she wants to stay in Dongyao Kingdom, it's not impossible. It's up to her."
After that, the two of them talked for a while. Mo Liyuan had to go to the military camp to deal with something, so he reluctantly got up and left the room.
Tian Wu disguised the secret guards as Wei Wuxian's confidants, and he himself transformed himself into Wei Wuxian, and then took his men back to the inn in a carefree manner.
For Princess Linchuan, the name Wei Wuxian was the source of her nightmares after she set foot in the Northern Frontier.
She was once a princess of Dongyao Kingdom, but because of love at first sight, she married far away in Beisai. At first, she was filled with joy, but she never expected that what was waiting for her was endless torture and humiliation.
In private, Wei Wuxian became a cruel devil. Whenever he was drunk or in a bad mood, he would vent his anger on her, beating her and insulting her with words, as if this could make him forget the shame of his defeat at the hands of Mo Liyuan.
She could only endure it silently, with no response from heaven or earth in Beisai. Her tears and pleas were nothing more exciting to him.
As time went on, Wei Wuxian's atrocities not only did not abate, but became even worse.
Not only did he frequently take concubines, he also used Princess Linchuan as a tool to vent his dissatisfaction.
Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the princess could always hear his heavy footsteps. It was the sound she feared the most, foreshadowing the beginning of another round of torture.
However, half a year ago, everything changed quietly.
Wei Wuxian was not with the princess and no longer had any communication with her. This was the most relaxing day she had in the Northern Frontier.
When Mo Liyuan got married, Wei Wuxian took her with him on the journey back to Dongyao Kingdom.
After Tianwu returned to the inn, he learned that King Beisai and Princess Linchuan actually slept in separate rooms. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This way, he would not expose his identity as the King Beisai, nor would he offend Princess Linchuan.
The next day, there was laughter and joy inside and outside the Lan Mansion, as if the fight yesterday had never happened. The maids and servants in the Lan Mansion never mentioned what happened yesterday.
Red lanterns are hung high and festive music can be heard everywhere.
Many people came to congratulate her during the day. At night, Lan Xiyue, who had been dealing with the whole day, lay on the couch, tossing and turning. She was clearly very tired from the day, but even after lying down quietly, she found it difficult to fall asleep. She was actually feeling a little nervous and expectant...
"Host, look how happy you are. If you don't go to sleep, you won't be able to get up for your wedding tomorrow!" The system's voice sounded in his mind, with a hint of ridicule.
