Quick Wear: Under the Skirt, All Beings Are Equal

Chapter 435: The Traitor: Bright Moon, Drinking Alone in the Autumn

Tang Ran even thought that if she didn't look for her secretly so often, she would be alert enough and would not be in danger so easily.

The old eunuch said that the Sixteenth Princess was very smart.

Even at a young age, she knew how to paralyze the enemy and pretend that she was not breathing in the hope of deceiving the murderer.

She always remembered the survival skills that Li Wenqing taught her, but even though she tried so hard to stay alive, she still couldn't escape.

The old eunuch had more than one life on his hands, and he easily saw through the little princess' disguise. However, he did not expose her. Instead, he pretended to leave and stood quietly by the pool, watching the little princess quietly swim up to breathe.

Tang Ran couldn't imagine how desperate she felt when she opened her eyes and saw the murderer's face.

Li Wenqing was the same. She knew that it was extremely difficult for children in the Northern Qi royal family to survive, and she had experienced many life-and-death experiences.

When the little princess cried and refused to learn, she cruelly hit her hands with a board, hoping that she would be able to protect herself when she encountered danger.

She kept repeating in her ear what to do in case of danger. Even though the little princess covered her ears in pain, she continued to tell her over and over again.

Because she knew that it is impossible to guard against thieves for a thousand days even if you can only steal for a thousand days. As long as the little princess had the ability, she would have a glimmer of hope no matter what danger she encountered, even if that hope was very slim.

But her sister learned it and memorized it, but still couldn't escape. When she thought about how she had just escaped death and was forced to experience death again, Li Wenqing's heart felt like it was stabbed, and blood filled her chest.

The mother of the Sixteenth Princess also found out what the princess had suffered in her lifetime and could not accept it, so she followed the little princess.

Li Wenqing came to the Prime Minister's Mansion wearing a veil and was stunned when she saw Tang Ran, who was wearing a blue shirt.

This was the first time she saw Tang Ran wearing green.

Normally, Tang Ran would dress maturely because of his young age. Now that he was dressed like this, Li Wenqing seemed to see him a few years ago.

Tang Ran does not look old, but rather very young. Apart from the fact that he has more authority due to his high position than he did a few years ago, people would believe that he is only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Tang Ran and Li Wenqing were really unfamiliar with each other. If she could get along well with Li Limu and Li Jinyu, they could barely be considered childhood sweethearts. However, she and Li Wenqing had only met a few times since childhood and had never even spoken a word to each other.

But Li Wenqing knew Tang Ran very well.

Tang Ran is pretty and very popular among the princesses. Li Wenqing often hears Tang Ran's name from their mouths. Although sometimes they are reproaching her, everyone can't stop laughing.

Since she was a child, Li Wenqing felt that Tang Ran was a very magical person, but she had never thought of approaching her to make friends with her, because she knew very well in her heart that people like Tang Ran had too many friends and did not need one at all.

And given her personality, she doesn't like to have too much contact with people.

Tang Ran was busy teasing the little yellow dog beside him, and the little yellow dog kept wagging its tail and circling around him, looking very lively and cheerful.

Li Wenqing didn't care about Tang Ran's rudeness. Instead, he looked at Tang Ran quietly, as if he wanted to see through this person.

At that time, the clouds were heavy and the branches were full of flowers. The autumn wind was still blowing like the morning glow. A smile was on the young man's face. He raised his sleeves slightly and stretched out his jade-white fingers. He teased Xiao Huang with food. At this moment, he seemed not to be the prime minister who held the power of life and death. His son was a rich young man with no worries about food and clothing, and he was separated from everything around him.

The noisy cicada chirping of the past has disappeared, and one can hear it occasionally, as if they are unwillingly struggling with the passing of summer. Tang Ran is playing with the dog, and Li Wenqing is looking at him. The two of them just stand there quietly.

Suddenly the young man raised his eyes and saw the beautiful scenery and bright moon.

"Why is the Tenth Princess here?"

In just a few days, Tang Ran had already figured out the character of the Tenth Princess. She was much more cautious than the other two princesses. She was a very smart woman who was extremely good at hiding herself.

Li Wenqing had been thinking about this a lot these days, and she always felt like there was a layer of fog in front of her that made it impossible for her to see clearly.

When Tang Ran captured Zhou Wenye and everyone else said that Zhou Wenye was an honest official and a loyal minister, and they tried desperately to rescue Zhou Wenye, what Li Wenqing saw was Zhou Wenye's extremely terrifying appeal. After thinking about it, he couldn't understand why Zhou Wenye, a civil servant, had more appeal than Xie Jia, a senior official of several dynasties and a general who fought bravely on the battlefield.

She felt a sense of fear.

She specially asked someone to investigate, and when Zhou Wenye's life story was laid out in front of her, she was shocked to find that her hair stood on end and goose bumps appeared on her white arms.

This week Wenye...

Li Wenqing took a deep breath and his thoughts coincided with Tang Ran's.

As a princess who had survived a narrow escape from death in the palace, she had to deal with not only those conspiracies and intrigues, but also the murderous intentions from the outside world. Sometimes, if she didn't deal with it promptly, the palace servants would hold a grudge against her and secretly use subtle and torturous methods to torture her.

That Zhou Wenye was not even a human being at all. It was no exaggeration to say that he was a living saint.

Because of this incident, she began to think carefully about Tang Ran's actions, and wrote down everything she was unclear about or couldn't figure out. Then, based on the impact of Tang Ran's actions, she repeatedly pondered over it and slowly uncovered the veil that had covered the eyes of the world.

After thinking it through, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and he inevitably felt admiration for Tang Ran.

A pair of clear eyes looked at Tang Ran and said, "Tang Ran, will you let Zhou Wenye go?"

The smile on Tang Ran's face was extremely innocent and pure, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She was bloodthirsty and ruthless, with a kind of innocent and stubborn cruelty. "It is unreasonable for me, Tang Ran, to release anyone I have captured. Princess, are you here today to help Lord Zhou as a lobbyist?"

Li Wenqing shook her head. How could she possibly plead for mercy on behalf of the traitor who had been planning for so many years to seize the Northern Qi dynasty?

"It's not a pity that Zhou Wenye died, but those people." She paused, trying to find a clue on Tang Ran's face, "When I left the palace, many people knelt outside the palace in the scorching sun, begging the emperor to issue an order to release Zhou Wenye."

She tried to figure out what Tang Ran was going to do next, but from beginning to end, Tang Ran's expression did not change at all.

"I guess the people have dispersed by now."

These people all knelt spontaneously in front of the palace and made various appeals, with some radical ones even threatening to commit suicide to express their dissatisfaction.

Of course, Tang Ran didn't believe that there was no one secretly instigating this, but there were too many people here, and they came from all over the place, so it was impossible to find out who instigated it.

Li Wenqing nodded silently.

Her father came out personally to comfort her, and then spat out blood in front of all the people and fainted, confusing everyone present.

Although the people admire and love Zhou Wenye, they still have more respect for the emperor in their hearts. Now they have made the emperor so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. If anything happens to him, it will really be a game of elimination for the nine clans.

The most important thing is that before the emperor fainted, he said: don’t blame the people.

This brought all of their clans back from the brink of death. They were extremely grateful and returned home anxiously to wait for news. The emperor had fainted, so there was no point in kneeling there.

As for the old emperor, all this was part of his plan, but he actually spat out that blood because the people of Qi State forced him to spit it out for a treacherous minister and a rebellious son.

"The imperial physician said that Father has been feeling depressed these days, and spitting out this blood will actually be a good thing."

The person the old emperor couldn't let go of was Tang Ran.

He truly felt that Zhou Wenye had won the hearts of the people, and no matter what crime Tang Ran used to kill Zhou Wenye, no one would buy it. Instead, people would hate Tang Ran even more. What should Tang Ran do in the end?
