Chapter 162 The Emperor Issues an Order to Attack the Zhan Family
"You sneaked into the Zhan family?" Xie Wanying was shocked. "How could you act so rashly?"
Zhan Zhang is a sinister and vicious person. He is a bully in Mincheng. He looks down on everyone and is very petty. If anyone falls into his hands, there is no chance of survival.
"Grandma, I know what's going on." Xie Jinglan knew that if she told her about this, she would be blamed.
"You!" Xie Wanying looked at her sensible granddaughter and couldn't bear to blame her anymore. "Lan'er, if you encounter something like this again, don't take risks on your own. Always come back and tell me first."
"I understand! I won't do it again next time." Xie Jinglan admitted her mistake.
"You go down and pack up. I'll go to the palace first. When I come back, we'll go to Mincheng together." Xie Wanying instructed her and walked out.
"Grandma, do you want to go too?" Xie Jinglan followed her out. "Actually, you don't have to go. I will definitely be able to rescue mother."
"Your mother is in the hands of the Zhan family. Do you think I can stay at home?" Xie Wanying said as she strode away.
Xie Jinglan watched her leave and felt that the relationship between her grandmother and the empress dowager was getting closer and closer. Whenever there was any problem in the mansion, they had to go to the palace to tell the empress dowager. It was not like this in the previous life.
She was walking towards her yard while thinking about her own things, and saw Xie Yin walking towards her in a hurry.
"Miss, you are really back!"
"I'm back. We'll be leaving soon." Xie Jinglan continued walking, saying to her, "Grandmother and Qing'er will be leaving with us. I'll leave the mansion to you."
She and her grandmother were gone, and she couldn't leave her brother in the mansion.
As for those who stayed in the mansion, as long as their entire family left, they would be safe.
Xie Yin was stunned when she heard this. Not seeing Xie Xue behind her, she felt uneasy. "Miss, did something happen? Why didn't Xie Xue come back with you?"
"Something happened. I can't explain it in a few words now. I'll tell you when I come back later. Xie Xue stayed in Linggun Mountain. You don't have to worry about her." As the two were talking, they had already walked to her Yuelan Courtyard.
"I understand. Are you hungry? I'll get some food." Xie Yin said and turned to leave.
"No need to go. I'm not hungry. I'm just a little tired and want to rest. Wait for grandma to come back from the palace and wake me up." Xie Jinglan walked into the room, turned around to close the door, and slipped into the space.
She first glanced at Zhu Yichen and saw that he was still sitting there, with the white light surrounding him even more intense.
It seems that a breakthrough will be achieved within two days.
Another breakthrough would bring him to the late Golden Core stage. He is only twenty years old and has such cultivation level. He is truly gifted.
She walked to the Lingquan pond and wanted to soak in the warm water before going to sleep.
I haven't slept for a day and a night. I need to stay alert and prepare for the upcoming battle.
This spiritual spring pond is next to a small hill. The water flows down from the hill. There is a small spring on the hill. No one knows where the water comes from, but it has never stopped flowing for many years.
So she built a small pool here where people can take a bath.
She was really tired and fell asleep after soaking in the water for a while.
Xie Wanying came back after nearly an hour in the palace. As soon as she came back, she asked Nanny Feng to call Xie Jinglan.
Xie Jinglan slept for a while and felt much better. She tidied herself up and got up to open the door.
"Madam Feng, please tell grandma that we will wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first and then leave together." She forgot to tell her grandma this.
"I understand." Nanny Feng responded and went back.
"Xie Yin, go call Qing'er over and give him two sets of changes of clothes." Xie Jinglan instructed Xie Yin.
"Miss, you don't know that the young master has been sent to the palace by the old lady." Xie Yin also just found out that the young master had been sent away.
"Grandma asked me to send him to the palace?" Xie Jinglan was stunned for a moment, then she understood what her grandmother meant. She was afraid that it would be unsafe to leave her brother in the house, so she sent him to the palace to be looked after by the empress dowager.
It was all her fault for not telling her grandmother in advance.
Since my younger brother has been sent to the palace, let him stay in Shouning Palace.
After waiting for more than an hour, Beitang Yuan finally arrived at Duke Li's mansion.
As soon as he arrived at Yuelan Courtyard, he said, "Lan'er, my father has issued an edict to announce to the world that the Zhan family of Mincheng has murdered our loyal ministers and abducted our subjects. The Yuyong Kingdom will mobilize the entire nation to attack the Zhan family and exterminate all nine clans."
"Okay, thank you." Xie Jinglan said to him gratefully.
Beitang Yuan took her little hand and said, "Lan'er, you don't have to be polite to me. Your business is my business."
Hearing his words, Xie Jinglan's eyes darkened, "Do you need to prepare anything else? If not, we will leave now."
"No need, I've already brought everything I need." Beitang Yuan looked back at a guard behind him.
The guard, carrying a large bag, saw them all looking over and quickly saluted. "Your subordinate greets Miss Xie."
"No need for formalities." Xie Jinglan nodded slightly.
"You can go back and protect the young master secretly. If he comes back with a missing hair, we will hold you responsible." Beitang Yuan took the bundle and asked the guards to protect Xie Yunqing secretly.
"I obey your command and will protect the young master until my death." After the guard said this, he bowed to them and retreated.
"Let's go too!" Beitang Yuan took her hand and left Yuelanyuan.
"Grandma also wants to go with us, let's wait for her first." Xie Jinglan said to him.
"I know. I've sent someone to invite her. We just need to wait for her outside the mansion." Beitang Yuan didn't stop and pulled her out of the mansion.
When I walked out of the mansion, I saw that he had prepared a gorgeous carriage.
"We will inevitably need a car in the future, so I'll pull one over and put it in the space!" Beitang Yuan said.
"There is a carriage in the space." There was not only a carriage in her space, but also more than a dozen horses, which were kept in reserve.
"One more car won't make much difference. Let's go in and wait first!" Beitang Yuan suddenly picked her up and put her in the car.
Being picked up in front of so many people, Xie Jinglan's face turned red.
Not long after the two of them got into the car, Xie Wanying came out.
She changed into a black outfit today, looking dashing and neat, and much younger. She was holding a bag and a sword in her hands.
The guard driving the carriage lifted the curtain for her and said, "Old Madam, please."
"Yeah." Xie Wanying nodded slightly and got into the car.
"His Royal Highness."
"Please take a seat, old lady." Beitang Yuan made room for her and Xie Jinglan to sit together.
After leaving the imperial city, Beitang Yuan asked the guard who was driving the car to go back and he drove the car himself.
Xie Jinglan looked at her grandmother and told her about the space after they got in.
If there was any way, she really didn't want anyone to know about the existence of the space. Not only would the secret be leaked, but she would also have to explain it, as if she had done something wrong.
