The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

This scream, filled with unspeakable fear and shock, instantly awakened everyone in the sleeping Lan Mansion.

The secret guards in the dark did not care about the distinction between men and women and broke into Lan Mengyan's boudoir.

What they saw shocked them greatly. On Lan Mengyan's bed, there lay the body of a man.

Lan Yunyan was awakened by the sudden cry. She sat up suddenly, with a sharp look in her eyes.

She knew that the scream came from Lan Mengyan's yard, which meant that last night's "good show" had begun.

She quickly put on her clothes and rushed to Lan Mengyan's yard in two steps.

Along the way, she encountered servants and maids who had also been awakened. They were terrified and asked what had happened. But Lan Yunyan just shook her head silently and quickened her pace.

When she rushed to Lan Mengyan's yard, she saw her standing by the bed, her face as pale as paper, her eyes wide open, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world. Her fingers were tightly grasping the sheets, and her body was shaking non-stop.

Just then, Mr. Lan arrived.

"Yan'er!" Old Master Lan called out and walked quickly to her side. "What happened?"

Lan Mengyan seemed to have heard a life-saving voice. She turned around suddenly, hugged Lan Yunyan, and cried, "Grandpa! There's a body! There's a body next to my bed!"

Old Master Lan patted Lan Mengyan's back gently and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Tell me, what's going on?"

With the comfort of Mr. Lan, Lan Mengyan gradually calmed down and recounted the horrific scene she found after waking up in bits and pieces: the cold corpse was hanging beside her bed, as if silently telling what happened last night.

After listening to Lan Mengyan's narration, a complicated look flashed in Old Man Lan's eyes.

He felt sorry for his granddaughter's shock and angry that such a ridiculous thing had happened in his family.

"Who did it?"

Old Master Lan's voice sounded, stern and urgent, his eyes like knives, trying to capture the truth from everyone's expressions.

No one responded...

"Who did it?" Old Master Lan's voice echoed in the room again, stern and majestic. His eyes were as sharp as a sword, examining everyone present one by one.

Everyone lowered their heads, and discussions arose one after another, but no one dared to look directly into Mr. Lan's eyes.

At this moment, Lan Mengyan's tearful eyes suddenly turned to Lan Yunyan, their eyes filled with confusion and pain. Her voice trembled, as if she had exhausted all her strength: "Fifth sister, why did you hurt me? I don't think I did anything to hurt you, why did you treat me like this?"

Lan Yunyan sneered in her heart when she heard this.

"Wuwuwu..." Lan Mengyan burst into tears, her voice hoarse and desperate. "Grandpa, my innocence is gone, and I don't want to live anymore. Rather than living in this world, I'd rather die freely."

As she spoke, Lan Mengyan suddenly broke free from Grandpa Lan's hand and rushed towards the wall.

This scene happened so quickly that everyone had no time to react and could only watch Lan Mengyan's body fly towards the wall.

"Yan'er!" Old Master Lan exclaimed and quickly reached out to pull Lan Mengyan, but he was still a step too slow.

With a loud bang, Lan Mengyan's body hit the wall hard, and then slowly slid to the ground. There was a big gash on her forehead, and blood flowed out, staining her clothes red.

"Hurry! Go get a doctor!" Old Master Lan shouted anxiously. He squatted down and gently picked up Lan Mengyan, his eyes full of heartache and anxiety.

Lan Yunyan stood there, watching this scene, the corners of her mouth twitching. This drama... seemed a bit over the top.

The doctor was quickly called in. He quickly examined Lan Mengyan's wound and performed preliminary treatment. Old Master Lan stayed by Lan Mengyan's side, anxiously waiting for the doctor's diagnosis.

After the doctor finished treating Lan Mengyan's wound, he turned to Old Master Lan and said, "Master Lan, the young lady's wound has been treated, but she still needs to rest for a while. During this time, it's best not to let her get any stimulation."

Mr. Lan nodded to express his gratitude.

He looked at Lan Yunyan, his voice low and serious: "Yunyan, you must give me an explanation for what happened this time. Why did you do this? Do you know how much harm your actions have caused Meng Yan?"

She lowered her head, her long eyelashes casting a shadow beneath her eyelids, silently enduring Mr. Lan's rebuke. Her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she felt no pain at all, because the torment in her heart was far more intense than the physical pain.

Thousands of words surged in her heart, and she longed to tell the truth, but her reason told her that now was not the time to reveal everything.

So, she could only bury those words deep in her heart, turning them into a soft sigh.

"Um……"

Just then, a faint groan came from the bedside, interrupting what Mr. Lan was about to say.

Mr. Lan's attention was instantly drawn. He hurried to Lan Mengyan's bedside and asked with concern, "Yan'er, are you okay? How do you feel now?"

Lan Mengyan slowly opened her eyes, her face pale as paper. She gently shook her head and said weakly, "Grandpa, I'm fine... I just feel a little dizzy."

Old Master Lan looked at Lan Mengyan distressedly, reached out and gently stroked her forehead, and comforted her: "It's okay, the doctor has already examined you. As long as you have a good rest, you will recover soon."

As he spoke, Old Master Lan looked at Lan Yunyan and said, "Yan girl, you must apologize to Yan'er for what happened this time!"

Lan Yunyan knew that she had no evidence and that her grandfather would not easily believe her. So, she compromised and apologized in a low voice: "Second sister, I'm sorry."

Lan Mengyan gave Lan Yunyan a provocative smile.

……

Lan Yunyan was also speechless. She was truly a top-notch white lotus.
