“Xuanyang, I have something to say to you.”
Xiao Li is a head taller than Liu Xueyin, slightly lowering her gaze, looking down at her: “I have nothing to say to you.”
Liu Xueyin’s anger flared up: “Can’t you just talk to me properly? You slander me, distort the truth, how can you be so malicious?”
Nerves.
Are they the type of people who have a proper conversation?
Someone who encourages others to divorce their husbands, and openly flirts with other people’s husbands, does she deserve anyone’s kindness?
“Yes, I am malicious, you are kind, you are the kindest person in the world.”
Xiao Li grabbed her hand and pulled it away forcefully, then pushed her away.
Gu Ling caught the person, then glared at Xiao Li with a displeased expression: “Princess is Your Majesty’s Imperial Sister-in-law, how can you be so disrespectful?”
Xiao Li looked at him with gloomy and cold eyes: “What is she, worthy of my respect? And who are you, to dare to bark in front of I, the Princess?”
Gu Ling’s face became even uglier: “As a Princess, your language is crude and you lack manners, you are truly shaming the Imperial Family.”
Xiao Li: “.” Is this a keyboard warrior?
“Jingyi, go tell Imperial Brother that the Pingnan Hou Shizi wants to reprimand me in his place.”
Xiao Jingyi: “Okay.” How should I put it, whoever offends Imperial Sister now is sure to suffer, he firmly believes this.
Liu Xueyin frowned, looking as if she couldn’t understand: “Xuanyang, how could you? When did the Shizi reprimand you, how can you be so unreasonable?”
Xiao Li felt she wasn’t fit to reason with people, looking at her with a mocking smile: “You can continue talking, anyway, I’m in a bad mood and will just slap Lu Yanzhi.”
“I’m in a very bad mood right now.”
Liu Xueyin’s words were stuck in her throat, unable to say them, her eyes full of shock, as if she couldn’t believe how malicious she was.
Xiao Li left, and Xiao Jingyi quickly followed, and after walking a while, he couldn’t help but look back at the three people, frowning.
Fourth brother’s Princess Consort is difficult to describe, as if she’s afraid others don’t know she cares about the Consort.
Xiao Li said she was filing a complaint, and Xiao Jingyi went to the palace to help her file a complaint, and she even wrote a letter listing ten crimes of the Pingnan Hou Shizi.
Such as he doesn’t look people in the eye, he pretends to be so high and mighty that he thinks he’s the Emperor, he dares to look down on the Princess from above, and he even wants to replace Imperial Brother to discipline her, and so on.
Reading the letter, one knows it’s just making trouble out of nothing, but one can also feel that she is really angry.
Especially the part where the Pingnan Hou Shizi wanted to replace the Emperor to discipline her, which made the Emperor feel uncomfortable.
The Pingnan Hou has ancestral merits, but now each generation is worse than the previous one, especially the current Pingnan Hou, who has a concubine’s son claiming his lineage, and how his legitimate wife died, although no one investigated, it doesn’t mean no one knows.
The Emperor is legitimately born and orthodox, and hates this kind of behavior the most.
“Bring the Pingnan Hou to the palace.”
The Pingnan Hou didn’t expect to be summoned to the palace, thinking that the Emperor finally remembered him and was going to give him an assignment, but it turned out to be because his son was reprimanded, and the first thing he did when he returned was to beat his son.
The Pingnan Hou was reluctant to beat his son, but the Emperor had ordered it, and if he didn’t discipline him well, the Emperor would discipline him himself.
Disrespecting the Princess and defying the Heavenly Authority is enough to make his Pingnan Hou Manor disappear from the ranks of the nobility.
And to reprimand the Princess for lacking manners, how dare he?
At night, a black figure quickly shuttled through the shadows, rushing towards the target.
Silently falling onto the roof, confirming that there were no extra people inside, he then slid down from the eaves along the pillar, flipping in through the window like a ghost.
He slowly drew his dagger and walked towards the bed, seeing the undulating curves of the bed, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and then he stabbed the dagger towards the pillow without hesitation.
The dagger pierced the bedding and pillow, but nothing more.
He quickly lifted the bedding, and sure enough, there was only a pillow.
“Where is she?”
He retreated in shock, his instincts telling him to leave quickly.
He quickly retreated from the window, flipped onto the roof, and just then, he heard a ‘whoosh’.
He didn’t even have time to distinguish it when an arrow pierced his back.
He suddenly looked in the direction of the arrow, and on the third-story attic in the distance, a figure was shrouded in darkness, the only thing he could see clearly was the cold and gleaming arrow tip.
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
Arrows flew through the air, carrying a chilling killing intent.
The black-clothed men quickly rolled on the roof, causing tiles to fly, and finally he jumped from a corner and fled the mansion, and the killing intent subsided.
“Assassin!”
“Come on, catch the assassin!”
The mansion’s guards discovered the thief because of the falling tiles, and quickly shouted to catch him.
Yang Jun led people into the house, saw the broken bedding, and remembered that the Princess hadn’t come back to rest yet, looked at the tall building, and then hurried up.
“Clang, clang, clang” he rushed upstairs, but stopped at the foot of the stairs, the Princess had ordered that no one was allowed to step on it.
“Princess, there was an assassin just now, did the Princess get frightened?”
In the attic, Xiao Li lit a lamp and sat at the table fiddling with a pile of wood.
She said calmly: “Tell Your Majesty that I saw the man’s face, it was the Pingnan Hou Shizi Gu Ling, let him go catch him.”
The Pingnan Hou Shizi?
Yang Jun was too shocked by the assassin’s identity to think about how Xiao Li could see his identity so far away.
“This subordinate will go.”
Yang Jun sent people out, and then personally led people to guard and patrol, Hong Yue and others didn’t dare to sleep, all got up to guard, but without Xiao Li’s order, no one dared to go upstairs.
Xiao Li glanced down, her Princess Manor had more than a hundred guards, although they had been trained, but their martial arts were really not worth mentioning, only Yang Jun was from a martial arts family, but he was still not enough to face a true expert.
Seeing that Gu Ling could sneak into her room to kill her so silently, she knew that these guards were really useless.
However, although they were mediocre, they were loyal, after all, their lives were in her hands.
Xiao Li didn’t want to find any more capable subordinates, she didn’t have a sense of belonging in this world, to put it bluntly, she only believed in herself.
She had found a way to learn internal energy and martial arts, but these things didn’t happen overnight, and even if she had internal energy, she wouldn’t be invincible.
There is always someone stronger than you.
Therefore, in order to be able to walk freely in this world, she could only give them some dimensionality reduction strikes.
A pile of wooden objects on the table quickly assembled in her hands, a gun barrel, a trigger, a cartridge, a stock.
Soon, a wooden shotgun appeared in her hand.
“Bang!”
She made the sound with her mouth.
Unfortunately, this was just a model, and she needed a professional blacksmith and carpenter to help her polish it, and with iron, brass, and black gunpowder to make bullets before it could be used.
She carefully checked it, confirmed that there were no problems, and then disassembled it, sending the different parts to different blacksmith shops for casting.
She just needed to wait for the finished product now.
