Suddenly they looked at each other, their eyes conveying something.
"Not good!" Ye Lisheng shouted. Just as he was about to use acupressure on the men in black, their faces suddenly turned purplish-blue, and dark red blood flowed from the corners of their mouths. They all collapsed to the ground.
Ling Ran carefully checked them over, afraid of leaving any survivors behind.
Finally, he shook his head and said, "Your Highness, they are all dead."
Ling Shuang asked with some worry, "Sixth Brother, who exactly wants to kill you?"
This older brother has been very sensible since she can remember, and he is also very pitiful.
"Don't worry, they'll catch us!"
"No one should be coming tonight, everyone should get some rest!"
"yes!"
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Murong Kui asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm not so easily defeated."
Looking at his profile, Murong Kui felt as if she had returned to the past. Looking at the starry sky, she was slightly moved.
"If only we could start all over again!" she exclaimed.
"Is there something you're hiding from me?"
"I want to ask you a question?" she suddenly looked very seriously into his eyes.
"What's the problem?"
"If I had never appeared, would you have fallen for Murong Kui?"
She had always wanted to ask this question: why did he like okra first when they looked exactly alike?
While waiting for his answer, I felt a little hopeful.
She made an excuse for him, saying that he only used Qiu Kui as a substitute for himself, and that he had always loved her, Murong Kui.
But things didn't go as planned...
"The one I love is you, Okra!"
"Is...is that so?" A fleeting look of disappointment crossed her eyes.
Still seemingly unwilling to give up, she asked again, "If you don't like her, why are you so good to her?"
Ye Lisheng's lips curled into a smile, her eyes filled with a seductive glint: "Are you jealous?" Her words carried a teasing tone.
"Answer my question!"
He looked into her eyes, as if trying to see through her, his gaze suddenly becoming serious yet strange: "To her, I only feel indebted."
"Being kind to her is just an attempt to make up for what I didn't do."
Murong Kui's heart sank, but she still had to pretend to be overjoyed, because she was now playing the role of Qiu Kui.
As if reading her mind, Ye Lisheng suddenly asked, "You know my heart is with you, so why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Again? Did that woman ask the same question before?"
"I asked you the first time because I wasn't sure about your feelings, and I'm asking you now because I want to ask."
He subtly pulled his hand away from hers: "Sweetie, go to sleep now!"
"Okay, you should go to bed early too!"
The two turned their backs to each other and walked towards their carriages, each lost in their own thoughts.
The person who came back said that the woman went in the direction of Lan Yi, so this time I came not only to accompany Ye Lisheng, but more importantly, to resolve the knot in my heart.
"Whether you are dead or alive, this princess will find you no matter what."
...
The fat man excitedly ran in early in the morning, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Coming, coming!"
"So flustered, is your relative here?"
"A marriage alliance procession from Lingqi."
"What?" I exclaimed in surprise, and came down from the second floor. "Who are they?"
Seeing how nervous I was, which was the first time Mai Su'er and the others had seen me like this, the fat man didn't have time to say anything and picked up the teapot to drink it in big gulps.
"Princess Lingqi, Ye Lingshuang, was accompanied by Prince Anyang, Ye Lisheng."
"It seems we're going to catch a big fish this time."
When Yu Shaoqing, who was standing at the top of the stairs, heard Ye Lisheng's name, his heart skipped a beat, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
When I hear the name Ye Lisheng, I always feel a sense of déjà vu.
But I quickly disrupted things. My intuition told me that there were people chasing me here, and to catch the enemy, I had to infiltrate their ranks first.
His eyes darted around and a plan came to him.
Apart from Yu Shaoqing, Mai Su'er, and the three fat brothers who have seen my true face, I always wear a veil, which makes it easier for me to move around.
"Hurry up and get the best rooms ready. I'll give you all a raise this month!"
Everyone was energized by the prospect of a pay raise.
Before they met me, the three fat brothers made a living by robbing others, and they never knew where their next meal would come from.
I recall that when I first arrived here, I happened to witness the three of them robbing someone.
The fat man noticed that Yu Shaoqing and I were strangers, and since Yu Shaoqing looked like a weak scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken, they naturally took notice of us.
"Robbery! Hand over all your valuables, or else..." The skinny man looked at us with a wicked grin and gave us a vicious warning at the end, trying to scare us.
This is the first time I've ever seen such a blatant robbery in broad daylight.
"You three are so unprofessional. You should at least wear a veil to cover your faces, shouldn't you?"
When I asked them that question, the three of them were momentarily confused, but then they realized that what I said made sense.
"I have veils here!" The skinny monkey handed them three black veils.
The three people obediently covered their faces with veils.
I was laughing so hard I couldn't stand up straight. I'd never seen such a silly and adorable robber before.
Seeing me laughing at them, the skinny man was very annoyed: "What are you laughing at? Hand over the silver right now, or you'll be sorry."
