Chapter 143 The concubine who died young in the novel "The Emperor Takes His Minister's Wi
You won't know until you try, and what you find will surprise you.
As soon as Xiao Lanyi stepped into the backyard, she was stopped by someone.
As luck would have it, he bumped right into Nan Yi.
Nan Yi was about to get rid of Xiao Lanyi when she ran into him.
Seeing Xiao Lanyi heading towards the backyard, Nanyi quickly stepped in to stop her.
Xiao Lanyi frowned and retorted. He hadn't missed the direction Nan Yi appeared from; she came from the backyard. Could she be one of the mysterious Madam Wen's people?
Or was it actually Wen Yingchen who arranged for secret guards to protect his wife?
The thought vanished in an instant, and Xiao Lanyi dismissed the possibility.
Given Wen Yingchen's lustful intentions towards his Qingqing, he shouldn't have any interest in his wife.
While Xiao Lanyi was entangled with Nan Yi, she couldn't stop thinking.
After a moment, I realized that I had been backing away, getting further and further away from the backyard.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately realized that the person in front of him didn't want him to go to the backyard.
Having figured things out, Xiao Lanyi couldn't possibly go along with his wishes. She immediately rushed forward, determined to break into the backyard.
One wants to break in, the other wants to stop them; the Wen family mansion is in turmoil again.
But even more turbulence was yet to come.
Emperor Kangning, who was investigating Xiao Lanyi, finally put himself in her shoes and realized that if he were Xiao Lanyi, he would choose to hide in the Wen family mansion. So he brought his men over directly.
Meanwhile, in the palace, Wen Yingchen, after receiving a message from an unknown source, briefly considered the matter and decided that he couldn't afford to gamble on the possibility, so he also began to take action.
He was able to rise to the position of Grand Secretary, which shows he was quite capable; he also had many of his people in the Censorate.
So when he gave the order, someone unlocked the lock for him and helped him escape from prison.
The guards that Emperor Kangning had arranged to watch over him naturally couldn't just watch him leave, so they immediately stepped forward to stop him.
But apart from Wen Yingchen's own people, Song Xue'an also arranged for people to stir up trouble. As the three parties fought back and forth, Wen Yingchen headed towards the Wen residence.
Upon receiving the news that various groups were about to gather at the Wen residence, Song Xue'an was dumbfounded but hurriedly left the palace to join the fun.
Overnight, the Wen residence was filled with many people.
Liu Chutang couldn't sleep. After watching Le Yan, who was sleeping soundly, for a while, she thought for a moment, then got up and went out.
Hearing that there was fighting, she quickly grabbed her sword and went to see what was going on.
Seeing that it was Xiao Lanyi and Nan Yi who were arguing, she went forward to help.
The clanging of swords and blades made Le Yan, who was fast asleep, think she was in a dream.
It wasn't until I vaguely opened my eyes that I realized I wasn't dreaming.
There really are people fighting to the death outside!
Le Yan sat up abruptly, feeling a gust of cold wind that made her shiver.
Hearing the sounds of swords clashing as if they were right next to her, Le Yan quickly got up, put on her coat, and quietly went to the window. She carefully opened a crack and began to observe the situation outside.
She then saw three people she knew very well fighting: Liu Chutang and Nan Yi were fighting Xiao Lanyi, two against one.
Le Yan blinked rapidly, her heart pounding as she watched their every move aimed at her vital points.
She couldn't take it anymore, so she rushed to open the door and roared, "Stop it, all of you!"
As soon as she spoke, the three of them instinctively stopped what they were doing and looked at her.
Xiao Lanyi's eyes widened instantly, "Qingqing!"
His whole family was shocked; his beloved was actually here!
Xiao Lanyi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and headed towards Leyan.
"Qingqing!"
But Liu Chutang blocked his path with her sword. "Stop!"
Xiao Lanyi's eyes, filled with murderous intent, immediately shot towards Liu Chutang. "Get out of the way!"
He hasn't even settled accounts with this woman for what happened with his girlfriend here, and she dares to stop him?!
Liu Chutang said coldly, "No."
She didn't turn around, but said gently to Le Yan, "Yan Yan, close the door and go back to rest. We'll handle things here ourselves."
Le Yan shook her head, "I'm not going."
"Tangtang, Lanyi, both of you put your swords away and stop fighting."
If the fighting continues, it feels like the problem won't be solved without people dying.
Le Yan had no intention of collecting the bodies of any of them.
Liu Chutang gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, remaining silent.
Xiao Lanyi glanced at her sideways before fixing her gaze on Le Yan. Her eyes greedily scanned Le Yan's entire body, and only when she saw that Le Yan was unharmed did she feel relieved.
"Qingqing, are you alright? They didn't hurt you, did they?"
Le Yan shook her head. "I'm fine."
She looked at the group of people who were unwilling to back down, her gaze falling on the sharp, gleaming swords in their hands. After a long silence, she decisively stepped forward.
"Girl, don't go over there."
Nan Yi quickly stopped her, afraid that she would be accidentally hurt if she went over.
"Nanyi." Leyan simply called his name, glanced at him sideways, and he stiffly stepped aside.
Seeing Leyan step forward, Nanyi gripped the short knife in his hand tightly.
Xiao Lanyi stared intently as Le Yan approached, and Liu Chutang also turned to look at her.
Le Yan glanced at Liu Chutang and then at Xiao Lanyi, expressionless, and reached out to grab the weapons in their hands.
"release."
She gestured to the two of them.
Liu Chutang and Xiao Lanyi were reluctant to let go, but they didn't want to hurt Leyan, so they had to hold on and let go.
"Yan Yan, be careful, swords don't have eyes."
Seeing Le Yan holding the two swords in her hands, Liu Chutang's eyelids twitched wildly, fearing that she might accidentally hurt herself.
Xiao Lanyi was just as worried. "Qingqing, give me the sword. Let's stop fighting."
We shouldn't fight for now; we can't fight in front of Qingqing.
Le Yan glared at him, "I won't give it to you, you two can forget about fighting again."
Her gaze fell on the sword sheaths they had casually tossed on the ground. Le Yan moved over, squatted down, and sheathed the swords one by one before turning back to look at Xiao Lanyi and Liu Chutang, who were standing there as if they were being punished.
She sighed, a bit annoyed, "Tell me, how did you two start fighting?"
They all employ tactics aimed at killing their opponents.
If she had slept a little longer, would she have found a corpse when she went outside?
The thought of that scene gave Leyan a terrible headache.
Xiao Lanyi glared at Liu Chutang and Nan Yi, and said angrily, "Qingqing, this is not my fault. I don't know why they wanted to kill me. They suddenly surrounded me. If it weren't for my good martial arts skills, you might not be here today."
Nan Yi quickly retorted, "Miss, don't believe him. He clearly has ulterior motives and is determined to break into the women's quarters to do something wicked. I was just stopping him."
Liu Chutang chimed in, "Yes, Yan Yan, he's the kind of person who even breaks into women's quarters. He's a complete womanizer. Don't believe him."
Accused of being a womanizer, Xiao Lanyi remained silent, only looking at Leyan with a bitter smile and a pitiful expression.
