Chapter 270 Don’t you want to avenge her?
Shunzi was the first to wake up. He was suddenly knocked unconscious. There were several other people in the room at this moment, and he was a little confused.
But he felt relieved when he saw that his master was there.
Shunzi stood up, rubbed his sore neck, gestured to go outside and take a look, then left.
Mo Xiuyan and Mo Yuance both needed to take care of their health. The yard they rented now only had two rooms. Fortunately, the bed was big enough, so the two of them didn't feel crowded when lying on it.
As for Lan'er and Yu'er, I will ask them after they wake up. If they really have nowhere to go, I will take them back to the northwest.
So many living men have been found in the family, so this news cannot be concealed. Apart from that, there is nothing else to be afraid of being revealed, so there is no need to worry about these two people leaking the secret.
Lan'er and Yu'er were both healthy people and woke up faster than the Mo brothers.
Seeing the two of them waking up one after another, He Zhiran took the initiative to walk up to them.
Lan'er reacted the fastest. When she found that the environment was wrong, she immediately stood up, ignored He Zhiran in front of her, and began to scan the entire room.
"Princess, where is the princess?"
Yu'er also stood up and asked suspiciously, "Where is this?"
He Zhiran knew that the two of them were feeling unhappy at the moment, so his tone of voice became much softer.
"You have already left the Prince's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Lan'er turned around and ran out.
"I want to go back. The princess is still lying there alone."
He Zhiran stepped forward and blocked the door: "The Fourth Princess has already left. Do you think the Crown Prince will let you go when you go back?"
Lan Er said stubbornly: "We don't need anyone to let us go, we just want to accompany the princess."
At this moment, He Zhiran could no longer describe whether these two people were loyal or foolish.
She tried to persuade him helplessly, "It's obvious that the Fourth Princess was killed by the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang. Don't you want to avenge her?"
"Revenge?" Lan Er laughed bitterly at herself, "How can we two weak women help the princess get revenge?"
"You can send a message to Emperor Shunwu. His daughter is dead. He won't remain indifferent, right?" He Zhiran intended to try his best to persuade the two people to give up the idea of committing suicide.
If she really can't do it, she won't force it. After all, she has done what she should do.
Unexpectedly, her words not only failed to change Lan'er's mind, but instead made the disappointed expression on her face even more severe.
"After the princess was imprisoned by the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang, we tried many times to send letters to the capital, but to no avail."
He Zhiran raised his eyebrows: "Didn't your letter get delivered successfully?"
Lan Er shook her head: "More than a dozen letters, I don't believe that none of them were delivered to the emperor."
He Zhiran was even more puzzled: "Could it be that Emperor Shunwu doesn't even care about the life or death of his own daughter?"
At this point, there was no need for Lan'er to hide anything.
"We grew up in the palace with the princess and have seen through the cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness of the royal family.
Who would care about the life or death of a daughter who was married off to consolidate the country?
"Then the Queen doesn't care?" He Zhiran became more and more confused.
Lan Er sneered: "The Queen's mind is on Prince Heng. Not long ago, she heard that Prince Heng was missing. How could she care whether the princess suffered or not?"
He Zhiran...
All right!
It was because she had lived in the harmonious circle of the Mohist school for so long that she had forgotten that there was no family affection in the royal family.
"Even if Emperor Shunwu is unwilling to seek justice for the Fourth Princess, will the next emperor sit idly by and do nothing?"
The next emperor?
Lan'er really didn't think that much.
Now that He Zhiran had said it, she had to think deeply about it.
There are only two princes who have the greatest hope of inheriting the throne of Dashun, namely Prince Heng and Prince Qi.
Now that Prince Heng's whereabouts are unknown, the only one left is Prince Qi.
Prince Heng was indoctrinated by the Queen since he was a child to only have the throne in his eyes. He had no affection for his sister who was born to the same mother as him. He even always disliked the Fourth Princess because she was a girl and could not help him fight for the throne.
Prince Qi was different. He had been gentle and refined since childhood, and treated his sister, the Fourth Princess, with great respect.
He would even help the Fourth Princess when she was wronged.
If Prince Qi were in that position, would he help the princess get justice?
Thinking of this, Lan'er seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
"But I don't know when Prince Qi will be able to ascend the throne."
Hearing her say this, He Zhiran knew that his persuasion had worked.
"As the saying goes, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Furthermore, Dashun and Southern Xinjiang are often at war. Who knows, one day Southern Xinjiang might be completely razed to the ground by Dashun. When that happens, when you offer your sacrifices to the princess, will you also offer this news to comfort her soul?"
The more Lan'er listened, the more it made sense to her. If she died, the truth about the princess's experience in the Prince's Mansion in Southern Xinjiang would never be revealed. She had to live well and find an opportunity to burn incense and tell her the news that the princess had been avenged.
"Madam Nine, thank you for your reminder. Lan'er is willing to serve you. I only want to wait for the day when the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang falls. Then I can tell the princess the news. Then Lan'er will have no regrets in her life."
While Lan'er was speaking, she had already knelt in front of He Zhiran.
It's obvious that Yu'er doesn't have much of her own opinion. Basically, she thinks whatever Lan'er says makes sense.
Therefore, after Lan'er knelt down, she also knelt down.
He Zhiran was not in a hurry to help them up. If he wanted to take them to the northwest, he had to tell them the ugly truth first.
"I'm sure you've all heard about the Mo family being confiscated and exiled. At that time, there was only one man left alive in the Mo family, and that was my husband, Mo Jiuye."
As she spoke, she looked at the two people who were still unconscious on the bed.
"Today we infiltrated the Crown Prince's Mansion and successfully rescued Seventh Brother. This matter will surely not be concealed for long, but I hope that this news will not be leaked from you."
Lan Er was the first to assure: "Don't worry, Madam Jiu, I swear I will never tell anyone about this."
In order to protect this person, the princess lost her life. Even for the princess, she had to help the Mo family conceal it.
Seeing her sincerity, He Zhiran continued, "We are now living in the countryside of the northwest. If you can't endure such hardship, I won't force you to go there.
Besides, we don’t keep idle people in our family. Not to mention you, my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law work hard every day.”
He Zhiran was worried that no matter how unpopular the Fourth Princess was, she was still a princess of a country, and the maid who could come with her to Southern Xinjiang as a dowry must be the highest-ranking palace maid.
In her opinion, the first-class maids in the palace basically don't need to work, they just need to help their masters with some daily chores.
She was kind enough to take the two people back, but what if she brought back two people who couldn't carry anything, wouldn't that be a burden?
