Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When the old servant ca to Li Xiaoran’s side, Li Xiaoran was still sleeping soundly.
Because of the rushed journey, Li Xiaoran felt that she had not had a good rest.
Now that they were in the capital, she naturally had to have so good sleep.
The old servant called out to Li Xiaoran a few tis. Seeing that Li Xiaoran was asleep, she smiled smugly.
She took out a dagger from her sleeve to stab Li Xiaoran.
Unfortunately, just as the dagger was about to stab Li Xiaoran, the secret guard who was secretly protecting Li Xiaoran had already grabbed the old servant’s wrist and the dagger fell.
The secret guard grabbed the dagger with his other hand and tapped the old servant’s acupoint to mute her. Then, he carried the old servant out without disturbing the sleeping Li Xiaoran.
Luo Cheng also arrived at the door. Seeing that the secret guard had subdued the old servant, he nodded at him.
The secret guard threw the old servant into the courtyard and handed the dagger to Zi Cheng. Then, he disappeared and continued to watch over Li Xiaoran in secret.
Luo Cheng walked up to the old servant and asked soone to undo her mute acupoint. Then, he asked softly, “Tell ! Who sent you?”
Seeing that the matter had been exposed, the old servant didn’t say a single word.
“Looks like you’re not afraid of extorting a confession from you! Do you think I can’t do anything to you just because you won’t say anything? How naive!” Luo Cheng sneered before looking at Zi Zheng.
“Bring her away. You guys can interrogate her however you want as long as you don’t kill her!” Luo Cheng said angrily.
Zi Zheng nodded. Before the old servant could speak, he tapped her mute acupoint again and took her away.
Wu Qinghe thought of sothing and looked at Luo Cheng.
“Brother Luo Cheng, I’ll follow you! I think our random divination thod was very useful last ti. Why don’t I try it during the interrogation? We might find out about sothing unexpected!”
Luo Cheng also knew how powerful Wu Qinghe’s divination was, so he nodded and let him follow Zi Zheng for the interrogation.
When Li Xiaoran woke up, she saw Luo Cheng reading a book beside her, so she sat up with a smile and hugged him.
“Have you settled your matters, husband?”
“No, I just missed you, so I ca to watch over you!” Luo Cheng put down his book and looked at Li Xiaoran.
“We haven’t even been separated for that long!” Li Xiaoran said in confusion.
“No, we were almost separated by death!” Luo Cheng shook his head and said.
Li Xiaoran was very smart, so when she heard Luo Cheng’s words, she imdiately understood.
“Soone tried to harm while I was sleeping?” Luo Cheng nodded.
After confirming this, Li Xiaoran suddenly laughed.
“I really didn’t expect to beco your burden and weakness!”
“No, you’re not a burden. You’re my Achilles heel!” Luo Cheng said firmly.
Li Xiaoran smiled when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.
Li Xiaoran went over and kissed Luo Cheng’s face.
“Don’t worry, husband. I’ll try my best not to beco your weakness!”
Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“Then what are you going to do?”
“Let think about it!” Li Xiaoran said as she walked around the house.
“Prepare so dicine or hidden weapons for to protect myself. Or let soak in so dicine bath to make immune to poison. Or find so skilled female guards who can dress up as maidservants to follow !” Luo Cheng laughed when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
What Li Xiaoran was thinking was what he was thinking as well.
“Don’t worry! Skilled maids and servants will be by your side soon. In the future, you have to bring them along whenever you go out. You can’t let them leave your side. As for those self-defense things, I’ve also asked soone to prepare them for you. They’ll be sent over tomorrow! As for the other matters, you can do whatever you want! Trust . I can protect you!” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran as he said.
“Of course I believe you can protect ! But I have to train myself as well!” Xiaoran thought of sothing and said.
“Don’t worry, soone will teach you self-defense!” Luo Cheng smiled and said, “I gave you a lot of protection, but it’s better to have a way to protect yourself as well. There are indeed many benefits to training yourself!”
Luo Cheng actually didn’t want Li Xiaoran to work so hard, but he agreed with Li Xiaoran.
It was best for her to have a way to protect herself just in case.
He was a human, not a god. If he couldn’t handle it, he could only rely on Li
Xiaoran to save herself.
Luo Cheng also knew that after Li Xiaoran learned self-defense skills, she would have a higher chance of survival once she encountered danger. For this sake, he had to be ruthless and make Li Xiaoran suffer more.
Li Xiaoran clearly agreed with Luo Cheng’s arrangent.
The next morning, after Li Xiaoran finished eating, she began her survival studies.
She would learn so theoretical knowledge first before learning wilderness survival skills in the later stages.
Li Xiaoran cherished this opportunity and studied hard.
First, she had to recognize so common herbs for treating wounds. Then, she had to rember so simple prescriptions.
This old master taught her so very useful things.
At this mont, Li Xiaoran was eagerly learning the knowledge imparted by her old ntor.
In the afternoon, a martial arts expert taught Li Xiaoran so self-defense skills, as well as the way to use hidden weapons and self-defense tools.
Just like that, Li Xiaoran began her painful yet happy days.
At this mont, the news that the Seventh Prince had returned to the capital with the farr he had married had already spread throughout the capital.
The emperor, who had long heard about this news, returned to the imperial study after the morning court assembly and suddenly asked.
“Xiao Dezi, do you think he will take the initiative to enter the palace if I summon him?”
When Xiao Dezi heard the emperor’s words, he smiled and poured so tea for him.
“Your Majesty, Seventh Prince can’t co in. Have you forgotten?”
Only then did the emperor rember that the Seventh Prince had been kicked out of the family and he sighed.
After that, the emperor didn’t ntion the Seventh Prince again.
Just as Xiao Dezi thought that this matter would pass, the emperor suddenly stood up.
“Xiao Dezi, I heard that Tianxiang Restaurant has created a few new dishes. Co try them with !”
Xiao Dezi was shocked.
Over the years, the emperor had actually left the palace several tis already.
However, he always disguised himself when he went out, so no one outside the royal family noticed.
Every ti the emperor left the palace, Xiao Dezi accompanied him.
However, this had always frightened Xiao Dezi..
