A few days later, King Shun's family of three walked out of the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion and returned to Prince Shun's Mansion.
The news naturally reached Leng Zhenhuan's ears.
Leng Zhenhuan ordered people to capture Asparagus and Wenlan and torture them. They were tortured, but only bitten to death. It was said that the princess had poisoned King Yi's food and was found out, so she was imprisoned in the abandoned hospital. And the two of them were expelled from the house.
In the afternoon of that day, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone to Prince Yi's Mansion, saying that the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion missed her granddaughter and wanted to invite the princess to come back to the mansion.
Nangong Yitian asked Mr. Wei to ask Leng Xiao, but Leng Xiao just said, "I won't reply."
It must be for King Shun's sake to let her go back. Moreover, Wenzhu and Wenlan may have been taken back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Based on their fear of Leng Zhenhuan, they will definitely say that she intends to betray.
Lord Wei smiled and said, "The humble official said that the princess is unwell and will come back another day."
Leng Xiao looked at him, "Don't go to such trouble, just say I won't return. If I don't return now, I won't return in the future."
Lord Wei looked at her, "Princess, are you sure you want to say this?"
Once she said this, Prime Minister Leng must know that she betrayed the family and would never show mercy to her.
"Tell it truthfully." Leng Xiao said lightly.
Master Wei understood, and looked very pleased, "Okay, I will tell you the truth truthfully."
He bowed and resigned, went out and conveyed Leng Xiao's exact words to the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion verbatim. Hearing this, the steward said expressionlessly, "Okay, I understand. Please tell Mr. Wei a word to the princess. Wen Zhuwen Lan has returned to the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”
"Yes!" Mr. Wei gave the order to expel the guest, "Slow down!"
The steward turned around and left. After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he reported Leng Xiao's words to Leng Zhenhuan. Leng Zhenhuan was not angry, but said coldly, "She thinks Nangong Yitian can protect her? She is naive!"
The steward asked: "Master Xiang, what should we do with the asparagus and wenlan?"
Leng Zhenhuan's eyes flashed with coldness: "You disobedient, what are you still doing?"
"clear!"
"And..." Leng Zhenhuan's cold eyes showed a bit of disgust, "Let the people who are staring at Prince Yi's Mansion kill Leng Xiao if they see Leng Xiao walking out of the palace!"
The steward responded without changing his expression, bowed and stepped back.
We won't keep useless people, let alone rebels. The prime minister can hold a high position in the court, so naturally he cannot be kind to women.
Leng Xiao felt a little uncomfortable after Master Wei relayed the words of the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In fact, ever since Wenzhu and Wenlan were expelled from the palace, she had guessed that the two of them might not survive.
The subtext of what the steward asked Master Wei to relay was to tell her that Leng Zhenhuan was going to kill them.
Leng Zhenhuan would not think that she had a deep relationship with Asparagus Wenlan, so the only possibility was that Asparagus and Wenlan did not betray her, but instead tried every means to excuse her.
Therefore, Leng Zhenhuan wanted to use both of their lives to force her to return home.
She didn't want to go back, and there would be an uproar if she went back, but she couldn't ignore human life.
After dinner, Leng Xiao went to the main room to find Nangong Yitian.
"You owe me three lives, remember?"
Nangong Yitian pursed his thin lips, seeming displeased, "You want to save them both? They framed you, don't you want to be kind at this time? Leng Xiao, irrational."
Leng Xiao looked at him, "It was because of my kindness that I rescued King Shun in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Moreover, the two of them had their families kidnapped by Princess Qing, so they framed me with poison."
Nangong Yitian's eyes were as bright as the abyss, and he looked at her intently for a while, and then said slowly: "Okay, I will send someone to rescue them and give you two lives."
Leng Xiao knew that it was not easy to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to save people, but he agreed.
Leng Xiaonuan said: "Thank you. After you rescue them, please help me send them away from Beijing."
"Yeah!" He responded and looked at her steadily.
