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

During the fight, Lan Yunyan used the furniture in the room as cover, constantly changing her position to make it difficult for the killer to predict her where to go. Although the killer tried to find Lan Yunyan's weakness with a dagger, Lan Yunyan's defense was impeccable.

At this moment, Lan Yunyan found an opportunity. She swung her dagger and accurately hit the killer's wrist. The dagger in the killer's hand fell to the ground, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Lan Yunyan didn't give him any chance to breathe. She quickly approached the killer, the dagger pointed at his throat. The killer knew he had no way out, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.

"Who sent you?" Lan Yunyan's voice was powerful, her eyes were firm, without a trace of fear.

The killer didn't answer, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly made an unexpected move, lunging forward, trying to overwhelm Lan Yunyan with his body.

However, Lan Yunyan's reaction was faster. She dodged nimbly, and the dagger in her hand drew an arc, accurately piercing the killer's heart. The killer's body shook violently, and then slowly fell to the ground.

Lan Yunyan walked over to the killer, squatted down, and carefully examined his body. She needed to confirm the killer's identity and the person behind him.

The moonlight shone through the window onto the killer's face, a strange face, cold and stiff.

Lan Yunyan gently turned over the killer's clothes, hoping to find some clues.

She first checked the killer's pockets, which contained nothing but some change and a black stone of unknown purpose.

Lan Yunyan picked up the stone and looked at it carefully. The surface of the stone was smooth, as if it had been carefully polished. There was a strange symbol engraved on it. She had never seen such a symbol before, which made her even more confused.

Then she examined the killer's weapon. The dagger was extremely sharp, with some tiny lines engraved on the blade, which looked like some kind of marking.

Lan Yunyan wondered if these marks were related to the killer's organization. She decided to put the dagger away, perhaps it would come in handy later.

Lan Yunyan stood up and looked around. The room was a mess, the furniture toppled over from the intense struggle. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.

She knew that the killer's appearance was no accident and that someone must be behind it. This person most likely had a deep hatred for her or her family.

Lan Yunyan decided to dispose of the killer's body first to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

She found a piece of cloth, wrapped the killer's body, and dragged it to a secluded corner of the yard.

She dug a hole, buried the body in it, and covered it with soil. After doing all this, she returned to the room and began to clean up the scene.

Lan Yunyan fetched a basin of water and carefully wiped the bloodstains on the floor with a rag. After some effort, the room was finally restored to tidiness.

Lan Yunyan began to carefully check every corner of the room, hoping to find some clues that she had overlooked.

She rummaged through the messed-up items, but found nothing. Her eyes fell on the window that the killer had opened, and a gentle breeze blew through, bringing a hint of coolness.

She slowly walked to the window and gazed out at the quiet night. The moonlight sprinkled on the earth like water, covering the surrounding scenery with a layer of silver gauze.

Lan Yunyan fell into deep thought. Where did this assassin come from? Who ordered him to kill her? Was it Lin Yue? Or perhaps Lan Mengyan? A series of questions swirled in her mind.

She reached out and gently touched the edge of the window, trying to find some clues from it.

There were some tiny scratches on the wooden frame of the window, which seemed to have been left by the killer when he opened the window. Lan Yunyan carefully observed these scratches, hoping to infer some characteristics of the killer from them.

However, the scratches were too common to give her many clues.

She sighed and turned back into the room.

The room was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if traces of the fierce fight just now were still lingering in the air.

Lan Yunyan scanned the room again, her gaze settling on the area beneath the bed. She squatted down, gently parted the curtains, and peered under the bed. Aside from some dust and debris, there was nothing unusual inside.

Lan Yunyan stood up, feeling a little frustrated. She had originally thought that she could find some useful clues in the room, but now it seemed that this hope was dashed.

She walked over to the table, picked up a glass of water, and took a sip, trying to calm herself down.

Lan Yunyan began to recall the killer's appearance and behavioral characteristics.

The killer was tall and agile, obviously a professionally trained one.

His eyes were cold and ruthless, and the dagger in his hand was extremely sharp, indicating that he was an experienced killer.

Moreover, after entering the room, the killer did not launch an attack immediately, but first observed the surrounding environment, which shows that he was very cautious.

Lan Yunyan fell into deep thought. Who was the mastermind behind such a well-trained and cautious killer?

While Lan Yunyan was lost in thought, Ling Xiuhan slowly walked in.

His figure stood tall and straight in the moonlight, and a hint of concern lingered in his deep eyes. Lan Yunyan was slightly startled and looked up at Ling Xiuhan.

Ling Xiuhan walked over to Lan Yunyan and asked softly, "What happened? Why are you so worried?" Lan Yunyan was silent for a moment, then told Ling Xiuhan everything about the assassin's attack. After hearing this, Ling Xiuhan frowned, a look of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

"This killer is definitely not an ordinary person. There must be a powerful force behind him." Ling Xiu Han said slowly.

Lan Yunyan nodded, a hint of uneasiness in her eyes: "I think so too. I'm worried that this is just the beginning, and they may pose a greater threat to the family."
