"What are you talking about, Madam? The situation is urgent right now. We can’t possibly..."
The woman had not yet finished speaking when Li Junyan, already impatient, abruptly interrupted her, barking, "Out of my way! Do you truly think I’m a caged canary you can control?!"
Given the extent that Duan Lan has gone today, it’s clear he has stopped giving her face. If she doesn’t fight for herself, once this incident passes, Ji Xinhe will probably not let her off in the future, and her Duan Lan, will be at the mercy of others because of it!
This was something Li Junyan could not accept under any circumstances.
She must make Ji Xinhe, the mean person, pay the bloody price!
A moment later, the Jinwei appeared in front of her, an arrangement by the Emperor to provide manpower in case of emergencies. These people follow her orders and may employ the Jinwei to investigate any suspicious actions of Duan Lan.
Not only Li Junyan has these people, so does Lady Sun, and even the chess pieces embedded in the residences of the courtiers,
"Immediately catch up with Duan Lan," Li Junyan gritted her teeth and ordered.
Duan Mansion’s servants were still feeding her lies, saying that Duan Lan was still on his way to Honghua Valley. Does she not know that the ambush at Honghua Valley had already ended? Marquis Mu had already returned.
"Yes!" The Jinwei immediately responded.
Xin He, on the rooftop, faintly lifted her lips, then jumped down from the rooftop.
At this time, a quick-witted servant from the Royal Mansion, whom Xin He had ordered Xiaochaohuo to find, caught up with them. Xin He whispered an instruction, and the servant boy nodded throughout, saying: "I understand."
What Xin He has ordered was not difficult to do, so any random person could be delegated. There was no need to worry that this person would mess up or disrupt things. This person quickly started his horse and sped up, turning directly back to the mansion.
——
Duan Lan was on his way to Honghua Valley. He learned that Marquis Mu was probably already in Honghua Valley, and he could almost foresee what would happen next. The excitement and thrill that he had not experienced in six years made his eyes red, and he wished he could run there directly.
Who would have expected an unknown cavalry suddenly blocked him?
Duan Lan barked, "Who dares to block the road? What audacity!"
The Jinwei coolly blocked the road and coldly said, "On His Majesty’s orders!"
It’s clear to everyone that the Jinwei only swore allegiance to the Emperor and not to Li Junyan.
Li Junyan doesn’t need their full loyalty as long as she can accomplish her goal, that’s enough!
"What?" Duan Lan frowned uncertainly, but he had an idea about what it meant.
Those on the orders of His Majesty could only be the Jinwei. But why would the Jinwei suddenly show up here? He suddenly had a bad feeling, his face changed, "Since you are following His Majesty’s orders, why are you blocking my way? Don’t you know who I am?!"
Li Junyan’s sharp voice rang out, "How could I not know who you are? Duan Lan, we’ve been husband and wife for six years, even if you turn to ash, I can recognize you!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Duan Lan’s face changed abruptly, he was furious, "Li Junyan! What are you doing? I’m busy right now, and you dare to create a disturbance?! Where are those who were guarding you?!"
Li Junyan sneered, "Busy? Is it still possible to fool me now? Do you really think I, Li Junyan, can be easily fooled? Duan Lan, I’ve put up with you for six years, how you look at me, how you neglect me, even completely deny me as your wife, I’ve put up with it. But today, after you’ve used me out, you want to discard me directly and fly away with Ji Xinhe, the mean woman. Your calculation is too clever!"
Listening to these words, Duan Lan frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Sooner or later he would discard Li Junyan, this chess piece. But what she said today was a bit strange.
"Don’t pretend with me here! I only have one sentence for you today, you won’t be able to take a step away from me. Even if I am a chess piece, I have to make the best use of its value. Even if I become a ghost, I won’t make things easy for you or let Ji Xinhe, the mean woman, have a good time!" Li Junyan gritted her teeth and cursed.
Duan Lan, impatiently said, "Will you not get out of my way! We can talk about anything when I come back, I have no time to mess with you now!"
"Of course you don’t have time, you still want to save Ji Xinhe? You think you can still save her? I won’t let you get your wish, wait until she dies at the hands of Marquis Mu, then I’ll let you collect her corpse!" Li Junyan laughed tragically, her eyes were full of icy cold, "You won’t let me have a peaceful time, I naturally won’t let you have one either. Let’s see who can get around whom!"
Duan Lan’s face changed abruptly, "Did Ji Xinhe come to you?"
"Ha! You’ve stopped pretending to be a fool now?" Li Junyan gritted her teeth and continued, "I will tell you, I’m set on Ji Xinhe’s life today!"
Duan Lan cursed angrily, "You fool, you’ve been tricked!"
But just as he finished, a young servant rode up urgently and said anxiously, "Minister Duan, please save our princess! She, she, she was waiting for you at the agreed place. as you were late, now she is going to be taken by our prince..."
Duan Lan was furious, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
What could Marquis Mu possibly do to Ji Xinhe? This is obviously a plot by this woman!
Then he yelled at Li Junyan, "Why aren’t you getting out of my way?!"
Li Junyan scoffed and didn’t budge, "Move aside? And wait for you to go save that woman? I tell you, I want her life today!"
Duan Lan was too fed up to argue with this fool any longer, and he spurred his horse to charge forward.
Li Junyan ordered, "Won’t you stop him?!"
The Jinwei immediately swarmed over and tangled with Duan Lan.
Duan Lan had around a dozen attendants beside him, although they were not weak martial artists, the Jinwei were indeed troublesome. Duan Lan couldn’t escape for a while and had to fight valiantly.
Meanwhile, in Honghua Valley.
As expected, Marquis Mu was indeed ambushed, but he had anticipated this attack so his victory was effortless. However, what made him suspicious was that there was another group of people helping him in the ambush.
He didn’t know who they were, but he had a hunch that something was not right.
Just as he was pondering, he saw Xiao Chaohuo suddenly galloping towards him. Upon reaching him, Xiao Chaohuo immediately held his fist in salute, "The princess sent me to inform you, sir, to be careful of Duan Lan’s trap!"
Marquis Mu’s face remained unchanged, as if he had expected it. He pointed to the strangers who were fighting with the bandits attacking him, "Is there something wrong with them?"
