Yan Bao was carried out like a chicken by a tall and fierce man.
When the others saw her, their expressions changed: "Who is she?"
"I don't know her, so I can't leave her alive. She saw everything." The man smiled sinisterly.
The others nodded in agreement.
The fake pancake beauty said, "Throw them into the lake with this woman to feed the fish."
Pancake Xishi shook her head pleadingly, they would not show mercy.
Yan Bao knew that begging for mercy was useless, and he was stuffed into Pancake Xishi's sack with a frightened look on his face. The two of them were squeezed together, and they were tied with a rope from the outside and several large stones.
Yan Bao didn't struggle and watched himself being thrown into the lake.
Pancake Xishi cried out in despair, but it was useless because her mouth was blocked.
With a splash, Yan Bao and the others were thrown into the lake.
Soon, the cold water submerged them.
Yan Bao held her breath and waited until they sank to the bottom of the lake. Seeing that the people around her were almost out of breath, she used the substitute talisman. The faces of the two people guarding the shore appeared in Yan Bao's mind.
Locked by the substitute talisman, the two immediately switched positions with Yan Bao and the others.
At this moment, the two gangsters who were there to clean up the mess were lying at the bottom of the lake. The fake Pancake Beauty had already left, lest she be missing for too long and be discovered.
Fortunately, they ran fast, otherwise Yan Bao would not be able to use the substitute talisman.
After Yan Bao gave the unconscious Pancake Xishi first aid, she vomited a large mouthful of water and woke up slowly.
The feeling of surviving a disaster made her cry loudly in fear while hugging Yan Bao.
Yan Bao patted her back soothingly, and after she had cried enough, he gestured a few times and asked her to follow him.
Pancake Xishi nodded. At this moment, she only knew that it was enough to follow this little mute. She had already recognized who Yan Bao was and knew that she was the daughter of Chief Minister Shen.
I was just thinking that it would be nice to have a companion when I die.
Now that she is alive, she just wants to live a good life.
Pancake Xishi followed Yan Bao around, and met Brother Shen who was looking for someone halfway. Seeing that she was with a drowned woman, she didn't recognize her as Pancake Xishi for a moment.
Yan Bao was soaked all over. Even though the sun was shining, it was still very cold in late autumn.
Looking at the shivering Yan Bao, Brother Shen didn't care about anything else. He immediately took off his outer robe and wrapped Yan Bao, then carried him to the carriage. They had spare clothes, and they would bring a spare set when traveling. They didn't expect that it would come in handy today.
Brother Shen asked: "What happened? I saw you haven't come back for a long time. I looked around but couldn't find you. I think something happened to you."
Yan Bao looked at him tremblingly: "Second brother, now is not the time to talk about this. The emperor is in danger. Those assassins are so skilled in disguise that they even disguised themselves as Pancake Xishi and entered the palace in her place!"
Brother Shen paused and glanced at the woman who was following him in a panic. He hadn't noticed it before, but when he looked closely, she did look a bit like the pancake seller.
No wonder Yan Bao was in such a mess, it turned out he was trying to save someone.
She is really something. Even going to the toilet can cause such a thing.
All we can say is that the emperor was not destined to die, otherwise Yan Bao would have noticed every danger he was in.
Yan Bao and the others arrived at the resting place. Tao Yuanyuan and the others also got up. Seeing the two drowned rats, they were stunned for a moment, and then they hurriedly pulled Yan Bao out and asked her to change into clean clothes.
There are no clothes for Pancake Xishi here. Tao Yuanyuan's clothes are too small for her to wear.
I can only wear Brother Shen’s.
Compared to catching a cold and getting sick, Brother Shen's clothes are not too bad for a young boy to wear.
Knowing that the Pancake Xishi had been murdered, they immediately decided to expose the fake Pancake Xishi before she could sneak into the palace to prevent the emperor from being killed.
The carriage sped along the way. When they arrived at the palace, they asked the guards and found out that Pancake Xishi, who had gone home to visit her relatives, had returned to the palace a quarter of an hour ago and the emperor summoned her.
Upon hearing this, their expressions changed.
Yan Bao was unhurried: [It's not a big deal. The fake Pancake Xishi is just trying to gather information in the harem. She's a pawn. Assassinating the emperor isn't her main mission. As long as she's not alerted, the emperor will be fine.]
[Now is not the time to alert the enemy. Let's first settle them down and wait for an opportunity to tell the emperor the truth. Then let the emperor make the decision.]
After listening to Yan Bao’s thoughts, Brother Shen thought it was a good idea.
The Thirteenth Prince also silently agreed.
Tao Yuanyuan was not allowed to get involved in this matter and was sent back to the post station.
It would be best to let the Thirteenth Prince tell the emperor about this. Yan Bao's face was seen by that fake Pancake Xishi. If he sees that she is not dead, it will be easy to expose himself.
After some discussion, the Thirteenth Prince went to see the Emperor as Yan Bao had said.
Yan Bao quietly took the real Pancake Xishi to her yard and asked her to take a bath, change clothes and tidy up.
Pancake Xishi held Yan Bao's hand and said, "Thank you, Yan Bao. When I enter the palace, I will never forget your life-saving grace."
Yan Bao smiled and nodded: [You said it, if you lie to me, I won't agree! ]
Pancake Xishi looked at the cute Yan Bao and couldn't help pinching her little face.
Yan Bao is used to being pinched and knows that he is cute.
. . . . . .
The emperor, on his side, hadn't noticed the people around him had been replaced. Seeing her come back, a smile played on his lips: "How is your family?"
The fake pancake beauty nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. My family is doing well. My mother and my brother have discussed it and decided to stay here. They don't want to go to the capital because they don't know anyone there and they're afraid they won't get used to it."
"She also asked me to serve the emperor well and give birth to children for him." As she said this, her face turned red with shyness, she was so lovely.
The emperor was jealous and wanted to offer sacrifices to heaven some time ago, so he couldn't do anything.
