Chapter 189 Plot Under Way

When Lan You Nian received the new Jing Wu An sent, she was surprised. She didn’t expect the person who ordered the arson to be her.

“Wangfei, should we kill her?” An San asked. The last few days, An San has been following Lan You Nian around. This was Feng Yi Xuan’s intent. At the moment, he was at the borders, so he was most worried about Lan You Nian. An San’s martial arts wasn’t bad. With her by Lan You Nian’s side, Feng Yi Xuan could be slightly reassured.

Lan You Nian’s lips recovered its rosiness as they curled into a wicked smile, like the ardent red spider lilies which bloomed on the path to the underworld, murmuring softly “Since we know who the rat is, there’s no need to rush. She can’t turn any huge waves.”

An San nodded. She too felt this woman wasn’t wangfei’s opponent. With a wave of her hand, wangfei could send this woman to her death. Only this woman can’t distinguish what’s good for her and dares to harm wangfei. She was unsure whether she should inform wangye of this matter. After all, the example of the eldest princess was still there!

“I didn’t know this Feng Yi Shuang had such ability!” Yue Bai Lian sat in You Nian Pavilion, infuriated.

That’s right, the one behind the arson a few nights ago was the second princess, Feng Yi Shuang, the same one, who was bitten by a snake and was currently resting in her palace, actually had the guts to scheme against Lan You Nian. When Jing Wu An dug out such a result, they were also surprised. That wasn’t to say Feng Yi Shuang was kind, but everyone passed over this woman, so at the very start when everyone was investigating the matter of the arson, they didn’t consider thinking in that direction. Instead, they investigated the Empress’s faction. If they didn’t find out those who set the fire had some connection to a palace maid previously, they probably wouldn’t find out this matter had any relation to Feng Yi Shuang.

Lan You Nian observed Yue Bai Lian who was more angered than her and giggled. Recently Yue Bai Lian will often drop in at Lan manor. Everyone only felt Lan manor’s legitimate daughter had a good relationship with Princess Bai Lian, so they didn’t overthink.

“Everyone has their different talent, only most of the time they haven’t been forced to a certain point!” Lan You Nian sat in the pavilion, gazing out the window at the solemn sky that seemed like it was about to snow.

Yue Bai Lian nodded, showing her agreement. It was just like her; if she wasn’t forced, how could she have learned such means?

“Then according to young miss, this Feng Yi Shuang’s days aren’t good either? Otherwise, how could she be forced to consider harming young miss?” Lan Wu asked curiously. Actually, she didn’t understand why so many women didn’t consider what they did wrong; instead, every time they’re hurt, they always lay the blame on someone else.

Lan You Nian kept silent. Feng Yi Shuang’s life definitely wasn’t easy. Noble Consort Lin’s passing left Feng Yi Shuang without her last support. In the imperial palace, a princess without any support couldn’t even compare to a palace maid. This feeling of falling from the sky wasn’t something just anyone could accept, much less the vain Feng Yi Shuang. But Feng Yi Shuang really should not have harassed her, even burning her little courtyard at Zhen Wei Pavilion. It really made people feel annoyed.

“Right, when is Ming wang coming back?” Yue Bai Lian asked. It’s already been some time, yet there was no news of Ming wang’s return. Yue Bai Lian didn’t have any other meaning, only wishing Lan You Nian to have someone to share her troubles with.

Lan You Nian’s hand that was holding the teacup froze for a moment. It was a very subtle movement, so no one noticed. She’s been back in the capital for five days already. It was clearly a very short amount of time, but it seemed especially long. Every day she would receive a letter from Feng Yi Xuan, none of which that did not say what he was doing or that he missed her. Lan You Nian didn’t return a letter of her own, not because she didn’t want to write back, but because she was afraid once she lifted the pen, she’ll write out her longing. And according to Feng Yi Xuan’s temper, he will hurry back without a care to anything else.

“Soon!” Lan You Nian gazed at the sky outside. Actually, Feng Yi Xuan didn’t say when he was coming back, but she already missed him terribly. She never knew missing someone would make it difficult to eat and sleep.

An San saw Lan You Nian’s complexion wasn’t all that good and was a little worried. They could tell wangfei wasn’t someone who could take good care of herself, but they couldn’t do things as good as wangye. After all, like persuading wangfei to rest more and not bother with those unimportant matters, they couldn’t succeed in persuading her and could only watch wangfei busy about every day without a stop.

“Wangye will be back in a few days. Wangfei still needs to rest more in the next few days!” An San coaxed. With the arrival of winter, wangfei’s body was starting to get cold. Lan Qu informed her of this, saying wangfei will often get sick in winter.
