Da Ni'er gave Minzhi a wink, signaling her to take the maid and Li Yuanyuan and leave first.
The little girl ran out and hailed a carriage, then put Yuanyuan inside, and the group went to the palace.
Now that someone has died, we must inform my elder sister and the Emperor.
Huo Minzhi would accept being killed or tortured, but she absolutely could not allow that man to live on in this world.
Therefore, Huo Minzhi, who had always been taught by her elder sister to prioritize calmness, did not stop Da Nier's actions.
Da Ni'er wasn't familiar with handling corpses, so she had to trouble the ladies in the palace.
Wang Dani'er's current figure has nothing to do with the word "thin and frail." The little girl who was so thin that you could see her bones when she was a child is now all muscle.
She spends all her time at the pancake shop, eating a lot of carbohydrates. After eating, she practices her kung fu.
For example, everyone in Beijing knows her now; she's the young owner of Wang's Pancake Shop.
It wasn't because she was the queen of the grasslands, but because of her physique—tall, strong, and dark-skinned.
Nobody thought she was unattractive. Da Ni'er and her girlfriends all thought she was cool, the kind of girl who would never have to worry about food or drink if she followed her.
Knowing he was conspicuous, the grassland king specially used his whistle to summon a war falcon and had his stepfather send a carriage to pick him up and take him to the palace.
Li Yuanyuan was carried back to the astrology hall by Huo Minzhi. The girl trembled all the way. When they arrived at the astrology hall, she was silent with lifeless eyes. The girl was very anxious.
"Sister Xiangxiang, please check on Yuanyuan for me. She...she...is being bullied..."
The girl ran to the Imperial Hospital, wiping away her tears, and went to find Sister Xiaohai. Upon hearing this, Sister Xiaohai grabbed her medicine box and ran to the Astrology Hall.
Yes, it's running. Now, my little sister's legs are much better.
The moment Hou Xiangxiang saw Li Yuanyuan's face covered in bruises, a curse slipped out.
"Damn it, who did this?!"
"Her fiancé..."
Hou Xiangxiang skillfully applied the medicine to Li Yuanyuan, asking as she did so:
"Where is her fiancé?"
"Sister Da Ni'er was killed."
Hearing this, the little girl's anger subsided considerably.
The girl on the bed was disheveled; anyone with eyes could tell what was happening.
The reason these children came to the palace to eat and drink was to celebrate Li Yuanyuan breaking off her engagement with her fiancé.
Now……
The little girl sister understood all too well what this kind of man was thinking. He just wanted to force the issue so that Li Yuanyuan would have no choice but to marry him.
Some people will surely say that the family that can be engaged to Li Yuanyuan's family must be a noble family of equal social standing, so why does it have to be Li Yuanyuan?
Li Yuanyuan is gentle, talented and beautiful. If women were allowed to take the imperial examination, she would definitely be among the top. Who wouldn't want such a talented and ambitious girl?
When the couple serves in the same court, who knows who might be the one pointing fingers at whom?
Hou Xiangxiang touched Li Yuanyuan's eyes, which were so swollen she couldn't open them.
This can't go on. People care about their reputation, especially since she's a young woman. How hurt must her self-esteem be?
"Yuanyuan, does it hurt?"
Li Yuanyuan didn't react; she hugged her knees and pulled her legs inwards.
She was afraid.
"Go and call Long'er over."
Hou Xiangxiang said to Huo Minzhi.
"Call your eldest sister too."
The girl obediently ran out.
Huo Xiaolong was being tortured by the sharp sword; his face turned pale, and his mind was filled with nothing but memorials, memorials, memorials.
When they saw Huo Minzhi approaching with blood on her feet, the two of them knew something was wrong.
The most important thing right now is to comfort Li Yuanyuan, both physically and mentally.
The bright yellow figure from Li Yuanyuan's dream came before her, sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroked her head, and said to her:
"It's alright, it's all in the past. He has received the punishment he deserved. Now, our Yuanyuan needs to recover her health so that she can go to the Ministry of Personnel with Minzhi to serve me after the imperial examinations, right?"
The girl struggled to open her eyes. Of her previously delicate eyes, only one could open normally. The other eye was warm. She couldn't feel the pain from the medicine, but the pressure made it impossible for her to open it.
Li Yuanyuan knew she must look very ugly right now. Whenever she came to see Huo Xiaolong or went to the palace, she would get up early in the morning to dress up, just to leave a good impression on Long'er.
But now...
Seeing myself like this, I really couldn't help but feel wronged.
"Your Majesty, he bullied me... he bullied me... it really hurts... he even hit me..."
Li Yuanyuan cried as she complained to Huo Xiaolong. The young woman in the dragon robe hugged her and patted her back to comfort her.
"It's alright, it will pass, it's already over. Our family never holds grudges overnight, we settle them on the spot. Look, didn't the Grassland King avenge you?"
"Stay in the palace for a while, be good, listen to me."
"If you feel wronged, just cry it out. Cry for a few days, and once you feel better, you'll completely forget about it."
"With me here, no one can bully you anymore."
Li Yuanyuan cried loudly in Long'er's arms. Taking advantage of the moment when she was crying, Huo Xiaolong handed the little girl a bottle of spiritual spring water and asked her to treat Li Yuanyuan's injuries.
Over the years, the two had developed a tacit understanding; as soon as Huo Xiaolong reached out, Xiaohai knew what she was going to do.
Hou Xiangxiang nodded to Long'er and accepted the spiritual spring.
Meanwhile, on Da Ni'er's side, the burly grassland king was counting silver from his purse with his head down.
"Sister, I've gotten into trouble again. I need to trouble you a few times. It's in that alley, just two streets away from my pancake shop, the house where Minzhi and Yuanyuan used to live."
Ping'er and Huanlu were practicing their skills when they saw the tall, grown-up Da Ni'er come in scratching her head and picking up silver from her purse. They knew something was up.
