In the silent night, even the moon was hidden behind dark clouds, not wanting to look upon this dirty world.
Lan You Nian, clothed in white sleepwear, stood in front of the window. A cold gust of night wind blew up the long hair scattered on her back giving off a kind of indifferent immortal bearing.
里衣-sleepwear
Lan Qu retrieved a white cloak from the wardrobe and placed it on Lan You Nian’s shoulders. She studied her family’s young miss who wasn’t even as tall as her but she had to worry about so many things, and perhaps she felt heartache for her. Outsiders only saw Wu Qing gongzi’s mysteriousness and power. Only the people at Lan You Nian’s side knew that those power were exchanged with blood and painstaking effort.
“Young miss, the night is cold, you better rest early,” Lan Qu was always been afraid young miss felt cold because, in the past, young miss has been frozen for so long in the snow, so as soon as she got cold, she would get sick.
“Lan Qu, guess if we’ll see blood tonight?” Lan You Nian tucked in the collar of her clothes and gazed at the dark sky.
“This will depend on that An yiniang’s tolerance level,” Lan Qu was unconcerned about those matters, neither was she afraid because Lan Feng has already returned. She was only concerned about young miss’s body.
“Hmph! It seems that An yiniang’s tolerance isn’t so good after all!” Lan You Nian put on the veil. Pitch black eyes permeated with ice as they leveled on the people in black integrating themselves into the night and one by one enter You Nian Pavilion.
After Lan Wu finished making the bed, she also stood behind Lan You Nian and looked at the people in black who entered You Nian Pavilion one by one. She said very succinctly, “Carrying such gleaming blades, are they afraid others will not recognize them?”
Lan You Nian originally had a bit of rage but didn’t know whether to laugh or cry after what Lan Wu said. After all, Lan Wu was very right. In You Nian Pavilion’s courtyard, the lanterns in the corridors were brightly lit in the night. The blades in the assassins’ hands were very glaring to the eye under the reflection of the light. This way, anyone will notice them!
“It seems that An yiniang underestimates me. That Prime Minister An also underestimates me!” Lan You Nian knew that these people weren’t sought out by An yiniang. They were sent by Feng nation’s left prime minister, Prime Minister An. It seems that An yiniang couldn’t bear it anymore and had her family help out. Lan You Nian self-reflected for a moment, has she recently been too annoying?
When those people in black appeared in You Nian Pavilion, Lan Feng appeared. You Nian Pavilion’s guards also appeared. They uniformly blocked off the men in black in the courtyard as to not allow the assassins to disturb young miss’s rest.
Maybe the men in black didn’t think that they would be discovered so soon. After all, the prime minister said that it was just a delicate and incompetent young miss of the manor. But the surrounding guards that appeared at this moment and that woman standing in the distance, how could this be the subordinates of a young miss of the boudoir.
Once face to face, the guards of You Nian Pavilion charged forward. However, Lan Feng just stood there watching but did not make a move. The guards of You Nian Pavilion may not be as good at martial arts, but after all, they were all men who have been on the battlefield with Lan Jian Jun. Their strikes were fast and ruthless. Every move had the stance of exerting their utmost strength. Looking at those men in black, the martial arts wasn’t very good and had unsteady hearts. After receiving one hit after the other, already more than half of them were injured while You Nian Pavilion’s guards became more energetic the more they fought.
Perhaps it was because such a meaningless fight made Lan You Nian bored, she elegantly yawned, “Lan Feng, end this quickly! Also, don’t break the courtyard!”
