Liu Yingnan was resting alone in the hall, but she kept tossing and turning, feeling a bit restless.
As ti passed, nearly an hour had gone by.
There was still no news of the Princess falling into the water.
Could it be that Guan Yue did not succeed?
Or has her plan changed?
Liu Yingnan thought anxiously.
She was feeling extrely passive; any slight misstep and she’d miss the opportunity.
Just as Liu Yingnan couldn’t bear it any longer, lifting the quilt and intending to step out the door to personally inquire about the news,
two little palace Servants suddenly hurried past the doorway, saying as they ran—
"Soone fell into the water over at Qinxin Lake; it seems to be the Princess’s boat!"
"What? This is serious, quickly call the Imperial Guard to rescue them!"
They ran away into the distance.
Liu Yingnan imdiately got off the bed and opened the door.
The emotion in her eyes was complex, with a hint of delight.
She really fell into the water!
Her opportunity had co.
So, without thinking deeply, Liu Yingnan hastily lifted her skirt and ran out.
She ran swiftly along the palace road.
A squad of Imperial Guards passed by. Seeing her hurried appearance, they imdiately scolded—
"Who are you? To dare dash about in such a manner within the palace, ignoring etiquette. What punishnt do you think befits you if you bump into the Emperor or the Princess?"
Liu Yingnan stopped, panting heavily.
She said, "I am Miss Liu, here today to accompany the Princess, I have urgent matters, I seek an audience with the Emperor!"
The Imperial Guard maintained a stern deanor: "The Emperor is not soone you can see just because you wish to. If there’s anything urgent, you should inform the Housekeeper Aunt, who will report it upwards."
Liu Yingnan took a deep breath.
She had to say it herself.
Moreover, she needed the Emperor to see that she was uncomfortable, and had run a long way out of concern for the Princess’s safety.
Liu Yingnan raised her spirits.
"What I need to say is that the Princess was pushed into the water and is now in danger. Such an urgent matter, do you still want to inform the Aunt first?!"
She abandoned her previous timidity and sharply questioned: "If sothing happens to the Princess, can you bear the responsibility?!"
The Imperial Guard, upon hearing it involved Bai Zhi’er, was suddenly alard.
He swiftly led the way, guiding Liu Yingnan to the Imperial Study Room.
anwhile, Bai Xilie was instructing Feng Fuce on so matters.
"Note down the officials I just ntioned, and keep a covert watch on them usually."
Feng Fuce’s handso, pale face was calm.
"The ones you ntioned all have issues, we could just kill them directly, no need to bother investigating further."
Bai Xilie gently patted the table: "How could that work? Zhi’er always said to reason out everything and gather evidence."
Feng Fuce pressed his lips and nodded: "Got it."
At that mont,
a flustered voice ca from the door—
"Your Majesty, sothing terrible has happened, the Imperial Guard just brought Miss Liu here to report that Princess has fallen into the water!"
This was followed by Liu Yingnan’s anxious voice.
"I testify, the Princess’s fall wasn’t accidental, it was soone deliberate, Your Majesty, please hurry and save the Princess!"
As soon as she finished speaking, two people rushed out of the room one after the other.
Feng Fuce was the first to take a step out: "Where is it?"
Liu Yingnan, intimidated by the coldness in his eyes, hesitated before responding: "Qinxin Lake."
Bai Xilie lifted his robe, calling out anxiously as he ran away: "My Zhi’er!"
Feng Fuce, with a quick leap using Qinggong, disappeared in leaps and bounds.
Liu Yingnan saw the Emperor taking people out in a hurry, even though exhausted, she gritted her teeth and followed at a quick pace.
All along the way, Feng Fuce’s expression seed shrouded in cold snow.
He was contemplating.
Last ti Bai Zhi’er ntioned she would provoke Brother Juzi to appear.
Could this be her plan?
Did she dare assu harming herself as a premise?!
