The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Anna settled down in the Ding Mansion.

She had a warm personality and soon became good sisters with Jing Yan and Qing Er. Accompanied by Fu Kang'an and Benjamin, they rode around in a small carriage and toured the entire Qijiang Town.

Benjamin was delighted to learn that Anna could also play the oboe. The two hit it off immediately and played many classic pieces together.

Benjamin also took out the song he had half composed.

Anna helped him complete the music, Qing'er wrote the lyrics, and Jingyan and Fu Kang'an were responsible for singing it. It was a very pleasant experience.

Unfortunately, except for these few idle people, everyone is very busy.

Even Xiaoyanzi was busy watching over Ziwei and crying every day.

Ziwei hasn't woken up yet and has been running a high fever. Doctor Hu meant that if Ziwei can hold on and wake up within seven days, then she'll be fine.

If we can't get through it, the consequences will be unimaginable.

This caused Xiaoyanzi to cry every day, saying that if she hadn't taken away Ziwei's identity as a princess, Ziwei wouldn't have to fight so hard to block the knife.

When the emperor heard this, the meaning of the words changed completely. He was convinced that Ziwei blocked the knife just to gain merit, and he was very dissatisfied.

Although Xiaoyanzi said she felt very sorry for Ziwei, she was used to being a princess and didn't do any of the work she was supposed to do.

That's because the Ding Mansion has maids to take care of it, and the hardworking Cai Lian is busy running around. Otherwise, if it all depends on Xiaoyanzi, it would be a mess.

It's not easy for Young Master Yongqi. Not only does he have to worry about Ziwei, but he is also responsible for coaxing Xiaoyanzi. He is overwhelmed all day long.

Two days later, Fu Ling'an came back.

Living up to the emperor's expectations, Fu Ling'an has successfully interrogated the White Lotus Sect's remnants and uncovered their lair.

According to one of the assassins, their organization was a branch of the White Lotus Sect, and the entire sect was mobilized for this assassination.

Their hall master was the little leader who stabbed Ziwei. Now that the hall master is dead, the branch hall is leaderless. Even if there are people still alive, they may have fled in all directions.

Because the specific locations of other branches and the headquarters are unknown to their subordinates, usually only the hall master and some confidants will contact them.

The information provided by several captives was similar. After Fu Ling'an got the location, he took people to check it out, but the place was already deserted and the clues seemed to have been cut off.

And the man who disguised himself as a masked hero and attempted to assassinate the emperor was not a member of their White Lotus Sect.

The captives did not know the man's identity. They only knew that he was a friend of their leader and that he had a blood feud with the emperor.

The emperor's face turned pale after hearing these reports. He would not be able to sleep peacefully until the White Lotus Sect was eliminated!

Fu Ling'an cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think the words of these assassins may not be true."

"How to say?"

"Their leader died, and the operation completely failed, yet they didn't seem overly sad or angry. In fact, their answers were similar, making it seem like they had colluded in advance."

What Fu Lingan said made sense, but now it seemed that the clues were completely cut off.

"Let's investigate further. There's also that masked assassin. I have a feeling he's not a simple person. I'm issuing a wanted order and we must capture him."

The emperor always had a bad feeling.

"The minister obeys the order."

"Ling'an, you haven't slept for several days. Let the people below handle this matter, or transfer people from the capital. You must go and have a good rest today."

Hearing the emperor's concern, Fu Ling'an no longer refused. After thanking him, he walked towards the guest room.

Jingyan had been waiting in the corridor for a long time.

"Brother Ling'an, I just saw you go to report, and I didn't dare to disturb you rashly, so I waited for you here."

Seeing Jingyan waiting for him, Fu Lingan felt warm in his heart.

Jingyan handed him the amulet he had asked for.

This was what a few people went to the temple to pray for yesterday. They heard that there was a very effective temple in Qijiang Town, so everyone accompanied Jingyan to pray for a peace amulet for Fu Lingan.

Because Jingyan always had a premonition that both the Soul-Seeking Sect and the White Lotus Sect were involved along the way, and they would have to be dealt with when the emperor returned to the palace.

These burdens would most likely fall on Fu Ling'an, Yongheng and others, so they discussed it and asked for amulets for Fu Ling'an, Yongheng and Ertai respectively.

Jingyan even went to a pharmacy and bought some sachets that could help with relaxation.

"This is a sleeping sachet. It also contains the amulet that everyone prayed for you. You must be careful when you are out there. Your own safety is the most important thing. Protect yourself."

Fu Lingan took it solemnly and carefully placed it in his arms.

He grinned and said, "I will definitely keep it well."

Hearing Fu Lingan say this, Jingyan felt a little shy: "I'm not asking you to treasure it, you must carry it with you. It will help me keep you safe."

"Okay, I'll definitely carry it with me every day."

Jingyan was very happy to know that Fu Lingan could rest today.

"When Magistrate Ding helped you vacate the guest room, you haven't even slept here yet. You can tell how hard it must have been for you."

Fu Ling'an has been busy these days finishing up and interrogating prisoners, so he just finds a place to stay for the night after he's done.

Ever since learning that Fu Erkang was going to assassinate the emperor, Fu Ling'an has been so busy that he's nowhere to be found. They haven't had a peaceful conversation together like this for a long time.

Jingyan felt that he was tired and thin, and he felt very distressed when he saw the dark circles under Fu Lingan's eyes.

She stroked his cheek: "You should also pay attention to rest."

Fu Lingan held Jingyan's hand and smiled with satisfaction: "It will be fine after this busy period is over."

Jingyan curled his lips, not believing it, but did not take his hand away, and let him hold it.

"Really? Look, I can rest today, right?"

When Jing Yan heard this, he jumped up in anger again, "That's because you haven't rested for too long! I want to go to Uncle Huang and ask him to give you a holiday!"

"Shhh."

Jingyan didn't know, but Fu Lingan could feel that the emperor and his father were eavesdropping behind the door.

Jingyan didn't understand what was going on and continued to complain: "Although my brother is also tired from the work he's in charge of, at least he can come back and rest every day. You can't do that."

The emperor who was originally supporting the couple inside the room didn't expect that the conversation between the two would turn into Jingyan's complaints about the emperor.

Seeing Fu Heng nodding with a hint of resentment, the emperor felt bitter.

Didn’t he force Ling’an to rest because he saw that he was too tired? If you want to blame someone, blame the White Lotus Sect!

Fu Ling'an was afraid that the princess would say something outrageous again, so he covered her mouth with his hand, picked her up, and ran away using his lightness skills.

The emperor inside the door: “!”

Watching the two young men run away, Fu Heng sat back on his chair and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not saying anything bad, but I actually agree with what the princess said. Ling'an is so tired that he's lost weight."

As he said this, he shook his head, it was true that whoever had the eldest son would feel the most distressed.

The emperor was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Old Master! How dare you say such a thing? Whose job is Ling An doing? Isn't it you, an old scoundrel, who didn't want to do it and pushed it on to your son?"

Fu Heng looked innocent and immediately changed his tone: "Your Majesty is wise. The child is young and should be given more orders. Your Majesty, please give me your orders."

The emperor snorted coldly and was too lazy to bother with this old rogue. Ever since Ling'an came back, Fu Heng, at such a young age, always wanted to retire.
