Chapter 56: If you can’t kill someone, you can’t starve to death, right?
Xiao Li fell asleep because of the medicinal properties, but he only slept for two hours.
She woke up before dawn, got up and wanted to get off the ground, but her feet gave way and she almost fell, and her whole body was limp.
"Princess."
Lan Yue and Hong Yue were guarding here together. Lan Yue was more alert and immediately noticed Xiao Li getting up.
Xiao Li waved his hand towards her: "Go to sleep, I'll go for a walk."
Lan Yue stood up and took a coat and put it on Xiao Li: "The night dew is cold and the princess is weak. Don't catch a cold."
Let her put it on for him, Xiao Li pinched her cheek: "Okay, I'm fine, no need to follow."
When I opened the door and went out, it was bright outside, and the round moon was still shining in the corner of the sky.
Only now did Xiao Li finally take a good look at the Mid-Autumn Festival moon. It was indeed bright and round.
She could clearly see everything around her without the need for lights, walking along the corridor and all the way up to the third-floor attic.
He lit the candle and took out the shotgun from the secret cabinet.
All the bullets I made before were shot, and I didn't rush to replenish them later. Now I only have an empty gun.
A gun without bullets is just scrap metal. She was slacking off.
Because he knew he couldn't kill Liu Xueyin and couldn't find a way to solve it for a while, he slacked off.
It's really inappropriate.
Especially because she was almost raped by Lu Yanzhi because of her temporary slackness, which was simply a shame.
My body is still very weak and I don't have much strength in my hands, especially since the effects of the medicine haven't worn off yet. My body is extremely sensitive and it hurts and itches no matter how hard I apply it.
But this doesn't stop her from polishing bullets.
Fill it with gunpowder, add iron balls, compact it, and close it.
Reload.
He raised his gun and aimed it downstairs. That direction was where Lu Yanzhi lived now.
It's a pity that this is not a sniper rifle.
But hurry, she can build it soon.
I don't know if it was because Cen An gave her the medicine or something else. Although she wants to kill Lu Yanzhi now, she feels very calm.
She was so calm that there was no emotion at all. Killing him was inevitable, as inevitable as drinking water, but it was not worth her emotions.
Xiao Li suddenly realized that this was herself.
Those emotions of unwillingness, resentment, and madness were all infected to her when she was trapped in the original body.
And she herself has long been a person with a heart as dead as water, without sadness or joy.
Although he had just experienced such an infuriating thing, Xiao Li's mind was surprisingly calm at the moment.
She couldn't kill Liu Xueyin, but on the chessboard, the lonely commander would die.
She couldn't kill Liu Xueyin, but she could always weaken her.
She doesn't feel much about her status as a princess, but with this status, it is much easier to act in this world that values respect and inferiority.
So she had to kill everyone around Liu Xueyin while maintaining her identity, and then arrest her.
That's right, if you can't kill it, you can't starve it to death, right?
If you can live without eating or drinking, you are a god, but now Liu Xueyin is not.
"Haha."
Xiao Li couldn't help but laugh. She wanted to know what to do with the ghost who was protecting Liu Xueyin.
But Liu Xueyin is not in a hurry now. She has to find a place to hide the person. Otherwise, if her admirers are so capable and rely on the guidance of fate to rescue the person, then her plan will be terrible. It's all in vain.
Therefore, the most important thing now is to get rid of the people around her.
The first one is, of course, Lu Yanzhi.
Lu Yan's death is easy. Now if she goes and shoots him, he will never see the sun tomorrow. But after killing him, the Lu family will definitely demand her life to pay for it.
Even if she hadn't killed Lu Yanzhi herself and left him to die outside, the Lu family would never let her go. Imperial power and aristocratic families appear to be monarchs and ministers, but they are actually checks and balances.
The emperor was afraid of those aristocratic families and also the Lu family.
——
The second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a rest day, but because of what happened last night, the emperor only slept for a while and then got up early.
He had just put on his clothes when the eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, Princess Xuanyang wishes to see you."
The emperor looked at the sky in surprise: "So early?"
Eunuch: "The princess will come as soon as the palace door opens."
"Let her in."
The emperor washed his face and went to the front hall, still thinking about the reason why Xiao Li entered the palace so early.
Xiao Li was dressed in red and dressed up as a young man. His hair was tied up with a hair crown. He was slender and tall. He wore a belt and was holding a folding fan in one hand. He looked like a handsome and romantic young man.
Before the emperor could question her outfit, she showed a bright smile and spoke in a clear voice.
"Brother, I want to do you a favor."
The emperor's expression suddenly became suspicious: "You said it wrong, are you asking me for help?"
Xiao Li shook his head: "No, I want to do a favor for Brother Huang."
Hearing such a joke early in the morning made the emperor feel quite energetic.
"Okay, tell me what you can do for me?"
Xiao Li swung his folding fan in a handsome manner, but he quickly moved in front of the emperor, blocked it with his folding fan, and quietly said to him: "I will help you get rid of the Lu family."
Emperor: This joke is colder than the last one, not funny at all.
"Stop messing around and get out quickly. I still have something to do."
Xiao Li sighed: "I knew that Brother Huang would not believe me."
The emperor glanced at her coldly: "You are talking nonsense, what do I believe?"
Xiao Li raised his eyes and looked at him with a smile: "Brother, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
The emperor frowned, a little annoyed.
Xiao Li put his folding fan lightly on his shoulder: "Brother, why are you so upset? I haven't finished talking yet."
"One month, yes, is a bit short. Within two months, I made the Lu family disappear from the court. What does the emperor think?"
"Brother Huang only needs to give me some convenience when I do things, and I will take care of the rest. As for the reward, I want a golden dragon and jade scroll with an imperial edict of divorce."
The Golden Dragon and Jade Axis, the most supreme imperial edict, needs to be announced to the world.
"Brother Huang, do you think this deal is a good deal?"
The emperor and the princess were very close to each other, and the main hall was too empty. Even the eunuch who was closest didn't know what the emperor and the princess said.
All I know is that Princess Xuanyang smiled when she left and took away a gold token from the emperor.
"Come here!"
"The slave is here."
Emperor: "What happened to Xuanyang and the consort last night?"
The eunuch was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that the emperor didn't know.
"Your Majesty, Princess Chen accidentally fell down last night. A lion rushed towards her. Prince Chen went to fend off the lion. The prince-in-law was so eager to save people that he pulled Princess Chen back but kept holding him and forgot to separate. The mad lion was killed. After that, the princess took a knife and started to chop, and she didn’t stop until she hurt King Chen.”
The emperor frowned, was it because he was jealous?
But Xiao Li's expression didn't look like he was overcome by jealousy.
On the contrary, he agreed to her after being fooled by her for a few words.
The emperor felt a little regretful, but Xiao Li was steadfast in his words.
Two months, he would give her two months to see what kind of trouble she could make.
