Bitao's eyes wandered, not daring to look into Luo Yao's eyes.
"Why don't you speak?" Luo Yao asked again.
Bi Tao pursed her lips and looked at her, whispering: "Xiangxue is gone."
The memories of that night kept flooding into Luo Yao's mind, and she recalled them all.
Xiangxue blocked the knife of the man in black for her, and died of excessive blood loss on the spot in front of her. She later fell into a coma.
"Xiangxue..." She whispered softly with her eyes red.
Seeing her like this, Bitao was about to ask her not to be too sad when Xiao Yan came.
After Bi Tao bowed, she quietly exited the room.
Xiao Yan poured a glass of water for Luo Yao and handed it over, "You have been unconscious for two days, drink some water first!"
She didn't pick up the water glass, but raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yan, "Where's Xiangxue?"
"I have ordered someone to give her a grand burial, and her funeral affairs have been taken care of. You don't have to worry about it anymore. You can rest here and take care of yourself in the past few days."
The men in black who broke into the abandoned courtyard that night and assassinated Luo Yao committed suicide as soon as they were captured alive by Wuhen.
Although the man in black died, through the drama two days ago, he determined that the person who attacked him was the eldest prince Xiao Mucheng.
Once the goal is determined, the next thing will be easier to handle.
Her eyes suddenly turned cold when she looked at Xiao Yan, "You already knew that there was something wrong with the eldest prince, right? You asked me to cooperate with you in acting just to confirm whether he was the culprit behind your assassination. Am I right? "
Xiao Yan stood in front of her bed with his usual expression and did not refute her words.
She looked at Xiao Yan with a sneer on her face, "All this has been in your plan for a long time. You have long expected that Xiao Mucheng would frame your injury on me, and even expected that he would send people to kill you in the abandoned courtyard. Me, right?”
Xiao Yan remained silent.
He did expect everything, but he didn't expect that Xiao Mufeng would wait for Luo Yao's life.
Judging from the assassination that night, Luo Yao was most likely not Xiao Mufeng's person.
"Do you think that burying Xiangxue generously is a great favor to her? She is a living person! Or does King Li think that she is just a humble maid, and her life should be as cheap as a piece of grass?" Luo Yao asked angrily. .
Knowing that she still couldn't accept Xiangxue's death, Xiao Yan didn't argue too much with her.
Glancing at her, Xiao Yan turned around with his hands behind his back and said, "You don't have to go back to the abandoned hospital. I will return your things to you, so you can recover!"
"stop!"
Luo Yao hurriedly called to Xiao Yan who was walking out, looked at his tall and cold back, and asked, "Where is Xiao Mufeng?"
Understanding what she wanted to ask, Xiao Yan turned his back to her and said truthfully: "The assassins who broke into the abandoned courtyard that night committed suicide. Although we know that it was the eldest prince who assassinated me, we can't touch him without evidence."
Xiao Mufeng is the emperor's legitimate son, and his mother is the queen. Although the emperor will not entrust him with a big responsibility, he will not do anything to Xiao Mufeng just because of a few words without evidence.
If you want to completely bring down Xiao Mucheng, you must have conclusive evidence.
Especially since the emperor had intended to pass the throne to him, if he did anything to the eldest prince rashly, he would definitely cause trouble for himself, which would be counterproductive.
Therefore, he would not touch Xiao Mucheng until he was absolutely sure.
Luo Yao smiled sarcastically, "King Li has worked so hard and done so much, but in the end he still lets Xiao Mufeng continue to be at large. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Xiao Yan put his hands behind his back and turned around, "I will deal with him sooner or later."
"Since King Li doesn't do anything, then I will do it myself."
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Yan asked with a frown.
She raised her cold eyes and looked at Xiao Yan, "I want to avenge Xiangxue."
"Luo Yao, don't mess around."
"If King Li is worried about being implicated by me, he can make peace with me now. Otherwise, if I really cause trouble, it will be too late for King Li to regret it."
"you……"
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Yao pulled the thin quilt and lay down with her back to him, "King Li, please come back! If you think about it well, I will send someone to deliver the book of Li."
Xiao Yan looked at her for a moment, turned around silently and left her room.
He walked up to Bi Tao and said in a deep voice, "Take good care of the princess."
"yes."
As soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw Liu Yinyin coming with someone.
Seeing him, Liu Yinyin came over anxiously with regret on her face, "Brother Li Wang, how is the princess?"
"She's fine."
Liu Yinyin looked into the courtyard and asked cautiously: "Then can I go see the princess? I misunderstood the princess before. I want to apologize to the princess in person and hope she can forgive me."
After getting the answer he wanted, Xiao Yan clarified for Luo Yao when he woke up. In addition, Luo Yao was assassinated in the abandoned hospital, and Luo Yao was quickly cleared of the suspicion of hurting Xiao Yan.
After Liu Yinyin learned this, she took the initiative to come to Luo Yao to apologize before Xiao Yan could blame herself.
Xiao Yan looked back and focused his attention on Liu Yinyin again, "She needs to rest now, so don't go looking for her."
After saying that, he continued walking forward.
Liu Yinyin pitifully grabbed his sleeve and explained with red eyes, "Brother Li Wang, I really didn't mean to say those words before. I was just too worried about you and that's why I misunderstood the princess.
In the past few days after knowing the truth, I have always been very apologetic and felt sorry for the princess. I couldn’t even sleep well at night. I..."
Speaking of being emotional, Liu Yinyin burst into tears.
"It's all in the past and there's no need to mention it again."
Seeing Xiao Yan say this, Liu Yinyin finally felt better and continued to explain with a cry.
"The eldest prince and Eunuch Lin happened to come to the house that day. The eldest prince asked about the affairs of the house. I shouldn't have said anything. It's my fault that the emperor came too."
Xiao Yan frowned and looked at her, "What did the eldest prince tell you?"
"The eldest prince asked about your injury and some things about the princess. He also said that you were injured strangely, and the princess' reaction was also wrong. That's why I misunderstood the princess like that. It's all my fault."
"Forget it, don't mention this matter again."
It seems that Liu Yinyin misunderstood Luo Yao because of Xiao Mucheng's instigation.
He will not let Xiao Mucheng go!
…
Luo Yao rested at home for a few days. Not only did her body gradually improve, but her internal strength also recovered.
After recovering her internal strength, she couldn't wait to try her skills. After all, this body was not hers at the moment. She wanted to test how much her current strength was worth.
In the middle of the night, the night was dark, layers of dark clouds obscured the starry sky, and the palace was completely silent, as everyone rested.
Luo Yao quietly left the room and came to the empty courtyard to practice her skills.
After some activities, she smiled with satisfaction and said, "Great, all my skills are back."
Xiangxue, I can avenge you!
If her inner strength returned earlier, Xiangxue wouldn't have to die tragically to save her.
With no time to think about it, she continued to practice martial arts in the courtyard.
At this time, the black shadow on the roof quietly left, quickly came to Xiao Yan's room, and told Xiao Yan truthfully what he had just seen.
After Xiao Yan heard this, he frowned.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Wuhen added: "The princess is very strong in martial arts. Even her subordinates are no match in front of her. The man in black that night couldn't hurt the princess at all, but that night the princess was..."
"She hides it really deeply!" Xiao Yan said.
