Chapter 377 A complete madman
Chapter 377 A complete madman
Li Mulan has Fengyu Pavilion under her command, which collects all kinds of intelligence. Although she mostly goes there to listen to gossip, she still knows something about the Crown Princess of Northern Qi.
Xiao Qingyu, the crown princess of Northern Qi, is the beloved daughter of General Xiao Yunhai, the Northern Zhen General. Although she comes from a family of military commanders, she is quiet, reserved, dignified and generous. More importantly, she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even has great talent in martial arts, making her a model of a noble lady from an aristocratic family.
Therefore, she was valued by the Emperor of Northern Qi long ago and was made the Crown Princess.
On the surface, everything seemed to be going smoothly, but what was unexpected was that in the second year after she married the prince, General Zhenbei found evidence of treason and executed her entire family.
Due to the plea of the Northern Qi crown prince, the crown princess was not implicated, and the entire Northern Qi was still praising the crown prince for his loyalty. But unexpectedly, within just one month, the crown princess, knowing that she had committed a grave sin, set herself on fire and burned her own bedroom, leaving no trace.
Some people said that she didn't want the prince to be implicated by her, while others said that she was so sad that she became mentally ill, so she took such an extreme action.
All in all, it is really sad that the Crown Princess passed away when she was less than eighteen years old.
"Your brother...wasn't the entire Xiao family executed? How could this happen?"
Qingyu's eyes were red and her lips were trembling. "It was Situ Lian. He was a lunatic. In order to make me stay with him peacefully, he killed my brother in front of me..." Qingyu's tears flowed violently, "He... He is a lunatic, a complete lunatic."
Li Mulan could feel Qingyu's pain and hurried over to hug her, "Okay, okay, it's all over. I won't ask any more questions, sister. Don't be sad."
Qingyu hugged Li Mulan tightly, her body trembling, and tears falling quickly like beads from a broken string.
Li Mulan had never seen such a whisper before, and she felt so distressed. But she also knew that words of comfort were useless, so she could only accompany her silently.
Long Yi watched secretly, and felt distressed. He secretly swore that after Qingyu got her revenge, he would never let her suffer any injustice again, and would never let her feel sad.
After a long while, Qingyu finally recovered and wiped away her tears. "So, Xiaojiu, I must go back to Northern Qi. I will avenge this hatred no matter what."
Li Mulan frowned, "Sister, I didn't say I wouldn't let you take revenge. I just said that you can't go alone. For so many years, you have been with me no matter what I did. How can I not be by your side when you have such an important matter?"
"No, your identity is different now. You are the regent princess of Da Chu. Your words and deeds no longer represent you personally. Now Northern Qi and Da Chu have not fallen out, at least on the surface. Therefore, you, the regent princess, cannot get involved in my affairs."
"What's the problem? You know my disguise skills, so these are not a problem. When are we leaving? Tomorrow? Should we prepare anything? I need to think about it. Oh, we need to pack our luggage, yes, pack our luggage."
As she spoke, she actually went to look through the closet. Qingyu hurriedly stopped her, "Xiaojiu..."
Li Mulan pouted, "I just want to help you, is that not possible? We are family, we agreed on it."
Qingyu wanted to rub her hair as usual, but then she realized that she was dressed in an orthodox princess outfit today. She withdrew her hand and pinched her cheek instead, "We are relatives. I didn't say we are not relatives. We will always be relatives."
"But you still won't let me go, will you?"
"Xiao Jiu, you are very smart. You know very well why I don't let you go, and you also know the seriousness of this matter. The Regent is very good to you, and you can't bring him trouble because of me. Besides, I want to avenge this grudge myself. And... I have sought cooperation from the Regent, and he will do his best to help me for your sake. So, after all, you are the one who helped me."
"That's different!"
"What's the difference? You helped me just the same, and that's enough."
Now it was Li Mulan's turn to be sad. She hugged Qingyu and acted coquettishly, "But I am worried about you, and I can't bear to leave you."
Qingyu patted her back gently, "Sister knows, but maybe life is like this, there are always things that don't go as we wish. I promise you, I will be careful, and I will come back after I have overturned my father's case and let Situ Lian receive the punishment she deserves. From now on, I will never leave Xiaojiu again."
"Really?"
"Really, did I lie to you?"
"That's not true."
Qingyu coaxed Li Mulan like a child, although she actually understood everything.
Holding on to the gentle whisper, Li Mulan was reluctant to let go, "You can dispatch the people from Fengyu Pavilion as you wish. I'll let Chu Chenfeng pick a few of Dongzi and the others to take away first, and the rest will go to Beiqi with you, so it will be convenient for you to do whatever you want. And Long Yi..."
"My subordinates will go too."
Long Yi's voice came from the darkness, and Qingyu's body stiffened, but it was only in that instant, and she soon returned to normal.
Li Mulan then let go of the whisper and said with a smile, "Look, I don't even need to tell you, I want to go with you, your sister."
Qingyu pinched her waist, causing Li Mulan to jump up immediately, "Ah... Sister, you broke the rules."
Her waist is the most sensitive part of her body and cannot be touched. If it is touched, she will feel terribly itchy, which is more painful than beating her up.
"I told you to talk nonsense. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll scratch you."
Li Mulan took two steps away from Qingyu, "I didn't say anything nonsense, it was clearly Long Yi who said it, Long Yi, isn't it?"
Long Yi then showed up, with a faint smile on his lips, "Yes, it is my own will. But Master, don't worry, I will let Jian Qi protect you in secret."
"Seven Swords?" Li Mulan raised her eyebrows. "Have you learned the rules? I don't want a troublemaker. It's enough to give me a headache."
"Master, don't worry. Uncle Zhang taught me personally. There will be absolutely no problem."
When Li Mulan heard that it was Uncle Zhang who taught her personally, she felt relieved, "Well, that's pretty good."
"And the number one swordsman, Ghost Eyes, I will let him stay to protect the master while I am away."
Li Mulan looked at him in surprise, "Why would he listen to you? Did you...beat him into submission?"
"Ahem... Anyway, he will agree. Don't worry, Master."
Li Mulan looked at Qingyu with amusement and said, "Since you have arranged everything, I, as the master, have nothing to say. I just have one request." Li Mulan's eyes suddenly became serious.
Seeing this, Long Yi raised his hands and said, "Master, please speak."
"I want my sister to come back to me safe and sound. Can you do that?"
"I obey your command. I will protect her at all costs. Even if I die, I will not..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Qingyu saw that he was getting more and more outrageous and had no choice but to speak up to stop him.
Li Mulan curled her lips. Nothing happened yet and he already started to protect her. Alas.
