The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 194 Assassination at the Palace

Li Mulan was very satisfied when she heard this. She shook her head happily and felt that the tea tasted even better.

Seeing her like this, Chu Chenfeng smiled even more, "You came here late at night just for this?"

"Hmm," he then shook his head as if thinking of something, and looked up at Chu Chenfeng, "One more thing, you said before that the Empress Dowager would be back, when is that?"

Chu Chenfeng was stunned. He didn't expect her to ask this. "Yes, I received news that the Empress Dowager had left the villa not long ago. According to the time calculation, she will arrive in Kyoto in two or three days."

Li Mulan put down her teacup and asked, "Is it possible that she is already in Kyoto?"

"What news have you heard?"

"Today, Aunt Lin and I went to the temple to burn incense and pray... Aunt Lin is Lin Xuelan, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue. We accidentally broke into a pavilion deep in the garden and were stopped. Aunt Lin said that she saw the Empress Dowager."

Chu Chenfeng's eyes flickered, "Are you sure? Is it the Longma Temple outside the city?"

Li Mulan said truthfully, "Yes, at Longma Temple. Aunt Lin said that she had seen the Empress Dowager several times at palace banquets, so she should not have made a mistake."

"Okay, now that I know about this, I will have someone investigate it thoroughly." Chu Chenfeng looked at Li Mulan with deep eyes, "Thank you for reminding me."

Li Mulan felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her. "Hey, we are all partners in the same boat, it's only natural." Then she pointed outside the door and said, "Who are those people? King Cheng?"

Chu Chenfeng shook his head, "Not necessarily, it may be, or it may not be."

Li Mulan showed a surprised expression, "You... you have quite a lot of enemies. Do they all want to kill you?"

"Haha, I'm used to it."

Li Mulan was speechless. How could she get used to this? Well, she was ignorant. It seemed that being the regent, who was second only to the emperor, was not easy.

"It's really strange. I just found out that the Empress Dowager has returned to Kyoto today, and assassins came to your palace at night. Haha, haha, it's really interesting. But if I really want to marry you in the future, will it be like this? Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

Chu Chenfeng smiled. He didn't expect her mind to work so quickly. "Why? Are you scared?"

"Of course I am afraid. Our lives are still valuable. Besides, we are in the open while those people are in the dark, playing dirty tricks every day. It is inevitable that we will be tricked if we are not careful."

"Don't worry, I will arrange for good people to protect you, and I will also get rid of these monsters as soon as possible."

Chu Chenfeng's tone was very serious, which made Li Mulan no longer in the mood to joke.

"Do you do this often?"

"What kind?"

"It was just an assassination or something."

Chu Chenfeng nodded, "It's been more in the past two or three years since I abdicated."

"Ah, it's really hard to be a prince like you. It seems you are not as comfortable as I am."

"You are indeed not as free and easy as Lan'er. I heard that you have been traveling with your master since you were a child. Have you been to many places?"

Li Mulan raised her head, seeming quite proud, "That's right, even though I'm not as old as you, I've definitely been to more places than you. I've seen a lot of different places and customs."

Seeing her arrogant look, Chu Chenfeng felt better. "It's really enviable that you have a good master."

Speaking of Mo Yan, Li Mulan really missed the old fox. They had been separated for quite a long time this time. She didn't know what the old fox was doing and why he didn't even send her a letter.

Seeing that she seemed to be a little lonely suddenly, Chu Chenfeng asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just miss home. Oh... It's Longyan Mountain, where I lived since I was a child." Then he looked out the door again, "Is it over?"

"Well, it's over."

Just at this moment, Xingyi's voice was heard, "Master, all the assassins have been dealt with, and no one has escaped."

"Oh, I see."

Li Mulan looked at him suspiciously, "Why don't you leave him alive to interrogate him clearly?"

Chu Chenfeng shook his head, "That's not necessary."

Hearing what he said, Li Mulan said no more, "Since everything is fine, I will go back."

"I'll give it to you."

"No, I'll go back alone, it'll be quick."

If she really wanted Chen Feng to take her there, it would take a long time for the two of them to take a slow walk, so she decided to forget it.

Chu Chenfeng did not insist, "Be careful on the road."

After the people left, Chu Chenfeng still let Xingyi go with him. After all, they had just experienced an assassination, and Chu Chenfeng didn't know how many people in Kyoto were plotting evil, so he was not very reassured.

Li Mulan noticed Xing Yi's presence immediately, but since he didn't show up, she didn't bother to ask. However, her favorability towards Chu Chenfeng increased a little. This regent was really considerate.

The palace seemed particularly quiet at this moment after experiencing an assassination.

Xingyi watched Li Mulan return to the Li Mansion before going back to report.

"Go check where the Empress Dowager is now. Is she in Longma Temple?"

Xing was shocked. The Empress Dowager had already arrived in Kyoto? How come there was no news from their people?

"Yes, my subordinate will go check it out right now."

"Wait a minute, last time I asked you to thoroughly check this Kyoto, how did it go?"

"My Lord, some people have been found in the palace. They are all new recruits in the past two years. They are waiting for your decision."

"Let the emperor handle the palace himself. As for outside the palace, this Kyoto city, I think there are many hidden things."

"The subordinate neglected his duty."

"I don't want to hear your words. I will give you three more days to find all those evil spirits and monsters. No reward is required. Kill them all."

Xingyi paused and said, "Yes."

Chu Chenfeng's eyes were cold, "Is it because I have been too merciful in the past two years that those people felt they had an opportunity to take advantage of me? Hehe, if that's the case, I don't mind killing them all."

The next day, Li Mulan slept until noon again.

Qingyu waited outside the door for a long time, and only knocked on the door when she finally heard some movement.

Li Mulan sat on the bed stupidly and yawned, "Sister, come in."

Qingyu was holding a tray in her hand. Li Mulan glanced at it and asked, "Why did you bring out this outfit? Is today an important day?"

She had never worn this dress once. It was too precious and too formal. She had never had the chance to wear it before, so she just kept it there.

Qingyu smiled and didn't answer her question, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Li Mulan yawned loudly again, which was very indecent, but still beautiful. "Okay, I just feel like I can't get enough sleep. Hey, I feel sleepy in spring, tired in autumn, and nap in summer. The hotter the weather is, the more I want to sleep. Ah... I can't get enough sleep."
