At this point, she suddenly clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

"I returned to Chang'an City yesterday. I wanted to go directly to Shangpin Hall to kill Wang Wu and avenge my family, but I heard that he was imprisoned in Tianlao. Later, after asking around, I learned that Prince Yan was also involved. I know that Prince Yan is a fair and selfless person, so I wanted to try my luck. Who would have thought that I would run into your girl outside the mansion? I guessed at the time that you were probably Princess Yan. At that moment, I felt that I could avenge myself. You are so kind, you will definitely help me, right?"

There was desire in her eyes, pleading in her gaze.

Luo Nianxi took a deep breath and nodded angrily.

"It's really horrifying! If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, how could I have imagined that such a terrible thing would happen in Chang'an City, under the feet of the emperor? Is the jade pendant left by Liu Bo still there?"

Hong Yan hurriedly opened his pocket and took out a jade pendant.

"This jade pendant is the motivation for me to live until now. I swear to avenge my parents, brothers and sisters, and I swear to kill Wang Wu, my enemy, with my own hands."

"Okay, keep this jade pendant for now. Three days later, the emperor will come to Prince Yan's mansion to try the case in person. Then, I will arrange for you to see him and give you the opportunity to tell your grievances."

"really?"

Hong Yan seemed to be unable to believe it and asked again,

"Will the Emperor really come to personally try this case? Can I get my revenge?"

"If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish. Wang Wu committed many evil deeds. He not only burned your family, but also another clinic. You are lucky to have escaped the disaster, but the other clinic was not so lucky..."

"I only heard about the clinic afterwards. It opened half a year before my family did, but it was wiped out in less than three days. If I hadn't left in anger that night, I'm sure no one would have mentioned the death of my Hong family at this time."

She gritted her teeth and held the jade pendant tightly.

"I later guessed that it was probably because my father took the jade pendant off Wang Wu during the fight with him when Wang Wu came to force him. This also shows that he had done too many evil things and deserved to die."

Looking at the young girl in front of him, whose eyes were full of hatred, Luo Nianxi nodded distressedly.

"Well, it's not that I won't report it, it's just that the time has not come yet. I've made a note of this matter. So where will you live after you return to Chang'an?"

Hong Yan pursed his lips and shook his head.

"I... When I came back, my master gave me some money, but I was too embarrassed to take it, so I said I had some money. The place where my clinic used to be has been built up by someone else. I sat outside the wall all night last night."

Having said this, she lowered her head in inferiority. Luo Nianxi felt even more that Hong Yan was so pitiful.

She thought for a moment and said:

"How about this, you stay in the mansion first, and when you finish your business, you can consider where to go."

Hearing this, Hong Yan fell to the ground again and kowtowed heavily to her.

"Princess Yan, I have no way of repaying your kindness."

She hurried forward and helped her up.

"You are also a miserable person, so you don't have to be so polite."

As she spoke, she called out to the outside,

"Chun Tao."

Chuntao hurried in,

"princess……"

"Well, her name is Hongyan. You arrange for her to stay in the mansion. Someone will come to the palace the day after tomorrow. It is inconvenient for her to stay somewhere else. So she can stay in the same room with you! You take care of her..."

Chun Tao nodded hurriedly. She stepped forward, took Hong Yan's hand, and greeted him warmly:

"Hongyan, come on, I'll take you to the room."

Hongyan glanced at Luo Nianxi, smiled at her, and let Chuntao pull her forward.

"Although my room is small, it's spacious enough for you as I live alone."

"Sister Chuntao, thank you."

"Don't be polite, meeting each other is fate..."

Listening to their conversation gradually fading away, Luo Nianxi felt inexplicably sad.

Hongyan is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she has to bear so much on her own. It is really not easy for her.

Wang Wu is such a scourge, this time, I must let my husband punish him...

……

It was almost noon when Luo Nianxi, dressed in men's clothes, walked out of the palace with Bai Lan.

Butler Lu has been keeping an eye on her these past few days, but every time the princess was about to go out, he would be called away. Today, he finally saw her leave, and he hurriedly followed her quietly.

Before getting on the carriage, Bai Lan vigilantly whispered in her ear,

"Princess, there is a tail..."

After Luo Nianxi lifted the curtain door and looked out, she raised her eyebrows with a smile on her face.

"I didn't lead him away today just to make him follow me. If he doesn't follow me, how can I reveal his fox tail?"

Bai Lan seemed to understand, but didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Luo Nianxi instructed the horse driver:

"Guard Ling, the person you are looking for is here."

Guard Ling?

Only then did Bai Lan realize that today's groom was Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao replied in a deep voice:

"Let him follow for a while. If you don't take him out, it will be a waste of his efforts."

After saying this, he quickened the pace of the carriage, and Steward Lu also quickened his pace...

Ling Xiao drove the carriage out of the city directly. Although Steward Lu who was following behind felt strange, he still followed.

The Crown Prince had given him a death order these days, requiring him to find out whether Bao'an Hall had any relationship with Princess Yan. Today, he finally had the chance to come out, and he had to find out the truth so that he could give an explanation to the Crown Prince.

But he walks on two legs, how can he catch up with four legs?

Ling Xiao seemed to have mastered his pace, walking for a while and stopping for a while, which allowed him to keep up with him at a close distance.

After walking outside the city for a while, Luo Nianxi opened the curtain of the sedan chair and looked back. She saw Steward Lu leaning against a tree and breathing heavily. She chuckled and instructed Ling Xiao:

"It's time, go!"

After Ling Xiao nodded, he jumped down from the shaft and rushed to Butler Lu at the speed of an arrow.

Steward Lu was leaning against a big tree. Just as he was feeling lucky for having hidden himself well, he looked up and bumped into Ling Xiao's face.

"what!"

He was so frightened that he took two steps back and fell to the ground.

"Guard Ling...Guard Ling, why...why are you here?"

Ling Xiao turned the long arrow in his hand, folded his arms, and tilted his head to look at him.

"Butler Lu? What a coincidence, you are here too?"

Steward Lu stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, and said incoherently:

"Oh, I...I'm here to do something outside the city."

"To do something? What business? What business are you in this remote place doing? Are you seeing a ghost?"

"No...no, I...I was just passing by here."

"Just passing by? Then why are you stuttering? Did you do something wrong?"

"No...no..."

"No? Why do I see you seem to be following the princess?"

Seeing that he was right, Steward Lu immediately swallowed his saliva in panic, rubbed his hands together nervously, and kept muttering,

"No...Nothing happened. The princess is in the city..."

At this time, Luo Nianxi came out from behind Ling Xiao and looked at him with blazing eyes.

"Butler Lu, you, as a butler, ran away without asking for leave from me and the prince, and you appeared wherever I was. This is really unbelievable!"
