"I'm not afraid of going to war, I just hope we don't fall into any trap.

The Nanyang Emperor sent Beitang Hui to Yuyong State, perhaps abandoning her. If she were killed on the mission, regardless of whether it was done by the people of Yuyong State or not, the Nanyang Emperor would blame Yuyong State for it. "Xie Wanying explained the situation to her.

Hearing this, Xie Jinglan felt a chill down her spine. "Grandmother, are you saying that the Emperor of Nanyang might kill Beitang Hui?"

If this is true, then if she kills Beitang Hui, she will fall into the trap of Emperor Nanyang.

"Regardless of whether Emperor Nanyang has murderous intentions towards Beitang Hui, Emperor Kunming will secretly protect Beitang Hui and allow her to return safely to the capital of Nanyang Kingdom." Xie Wanying paused for a moment when she said this.

"Lan'er, Beitang Hui is just a pawn of the Nanyang Emperor, and there's no need to be afraid of him. The Crown Prince is a wise man, and he must have his considerations behind his decisions."

"I understand, Grandma. I will think twice before I act in the future." Xie Jinglan thought for a moment and said, "Beitang Hui is related to the major issues of the two countries. I can let her go for now, but Lin Yuansheng wanted to kill our entire family. Father's death is very likely related to him. I will not let him go."

Xie Wanying looked at her granddaughter and felt that she had really grown up and was no longer the little girl who needed protection. "Lan'er, do whatever you want! Grandma will support you."

As the two were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped and they heard the sounds of people running around and screaming in fear on the street outside.

"Madam, Miss, the road ahead is blocked and the car can't pass through." Lu Demin said to them through the car curtain.

Xie Jinglan lifted the curtain of the car and looked out. She saw that the soldiers were arresting people everywhere. They must be arresting people from the Changsun family. Some people tried to resist and were hacked to death in the street. The people around them were scared and ran away screaming.

"This street is full of soldiers, let's go another way!"

"Yes!" Lu Demin pulled the reins and turned the carriage around.

When they returned to the mansion, the guards at the gate were surprised to see Xie Jinglan had returned safely.

One of them turned around and ran towards the mansion, shouting loudly: "The eldest lady is back! The eldest lady is fine, the eldest lady is back..."

"Miss, the young master just came out and wanted to wait for you to come back, but the weather was too cold today, so I persuaded him to go back. I also told the young master that you would be back in a while, and I didn't expect that my prediction would come true." The guard said to them happily.

"Well, I'm sorry for worrying you. I'll give you a snack tonight." There were a few fourth-grade monsters in her space, just right for the people in the mansion to have a snack.

The guard bowed, "Thank you, Miss."

Xie Wanying and Xie Jinglan entered the mansion, and not long after they walked away, three children came running towards them.

"Sister, are you really back?"

"Qing'er!" Xie Jinglan opened her arms to catch her brother. She saw Lu An following behind, along with a little girl, the one from Mrs. Xia's family.

"Sister, I heard them say you were missing and grandma went looking for you. I thought something happened to you. Where did you go?" Xie Yunqing asked her with red eyes.

"I went to hunt monster meat for you, but I got lost as soon as I entered. It took me a whole night to get out of the mountain, and I came back late. I made you all worry." Xie Jinglan made up a lie to save him from worrying.

"Miss." Lu An also called her.

"Be good." Xie Jinglan touched his head and her eyes fell on the little girl behind him.

During this period, the little girl has gained a lot of weight. Her belly is no longer big, and her face has become fleshier and fairer. She has become a good-looking little girl.

"What's your name?"

When asked, the little girl was a little scared and hid behind Lu An timidly.

"Miss, her name is Xia Daya." Lu An answered for the girl.

"Sister, I don't know who gave her this name, but Daya doesn't sound nice at all." Xie Yunqing said with some disgust.

Xie Jinglan couldn't help but laugh. Daya Daya, it sounded like a name her family gave her casually. Generally, children from poor families were given random names without any particular regard for them. There were also Heinu, Heiniu and so on.

"Since it doesn't sound good, then you can help me come up with a better name."

"Sister, I have given her a name, Xiaoxiao. What do you think?" Xie Yunqing asked.

Xie Jinglan was stunned when she heard this. "Xiaoxiao? Why did you give her this name?"

"Because she always likes to cry, the young master named her Xiaoxiao, hoping that she would smile more." Lu An answered her first.

"Okay, that's fine. Let's use this name! I think it sounds nice too." Xie Jinglan saw Xia Xiaoxiao hiding behind Lu An and couldn't help asking, "You seem afraid of me?"

"She said she was afraid you would give her an injection. What a coward. Last time I had a high fever, the eldest lady also gave me an injection, and it didn't hurt at all." Lu Andao said as he pulled Xia Xiaoxiao out.

"Okay! Go and have fun by yourselves, but remember to listen to Master Fang." Xie Jinglan instructed.

"Sister, we got it. We'll go back and practice calligraphy now. We'll practice sword fighting for another quarter of an hour." Xie Yunqing said and left with the two children.

Xie Jinglan turned around and found that her grandmother had already left, so she went straight back to her Yuelan Courtyard, took out the monsters, and had them sent to the kitchen.

It was noon when Xie Xue and Xie Yin came back. They had been looking for someone in the Royal Hunting Forest. They were covered in dust and their eyes were red, obviously they had been crying.

As soon as he saw her, his eyes turned red again, "Miss, I'm so glad you're okay."

God knows how worried they were during this day and night.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry to have made you worry." Xie Jinglan patted their shoulders. If there was any way, she didn't want to make them worry so much.

"You are tired too, go down and have a good rest."

"Yes!" The two girls responded and retreated.

******

At night, Xie Jinglan changed into night clothes, quietly left Duke Li's Mansion and went to Prince Mu's Mansion.

She decided to visit Prince Mu's Mansion tonight and wanted to poison Beitang Hong and Lin Ruyan.

The Changsun family has been eliminated. If we poison these two people, we will have no enemies in Shengjing.

Beitang Hong was once the emperor's favorite, and everyone thought he would be the future emperor. Many top masters came to him for support, and he also had a defensive formation. Therefore, she had never come to settle accounts with these two people.

She first walked around the palace, trying to find a place with weaker defenses so that she could break the formation and get in.

If you want to poison those two people without anyone noticing, you must not alert the secret guards in the palace.

At this time, she vaguely heard someone talking, coming from inside the palace.

Looking up, I saw that there was a side door of the palace.

Someone wants to leave the house!

Got it, she quickly dodged and stood behind a tree.

After a while, someone came to open the door and walked out.

Xie Jinglan recognized this person; he was a manager in the palace.

Seeing that the opportunity had come, he used his mind to cast out a few talismans.
