Chapter 127 The concubine who died young in the novel "The Emperor Takes His Minister's Wi
To be honest, Leyan had never met such a bizarre person before.
She's so beautiful, how come all she says are lies and deception?
Are there still people destined to meet?
Le Yan, with a deadpan expression, asked, "Are you a nun?"
In Buddhism, there are always those who are destined to meet and those who are not. Could this woman be a nun?
Liu Chutang blinked, pursed her lips, and smiled, "That's possible."
Le Yan was immediately speechless.
This topic seems to be getting difficult to discuss.
Le Yan lowered her eyes and rolled them around, her expression unchanged, and continued talking to her calmly, "What's your name? I don't think I know you."
Not to mention her, there was never such a destined person in the original owner's memories.
Liu Chutang stood there, only realizing she hadn't introduced herself when she heard this. She quickly said, "My surname is Liu, and my given name is Chutang, the 'tang' in 'crabapple'."
“We didn’t know each other before, but we do now.”
Liu Chutang?
Le Yan's lowered eyes widened instantly, her pupils dilating in shock.
Is this Liu Chutang?
She couldn't help but raise her eyes to examine Liu Chutang closely. With willow-leaf eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, cherry lips, and a delicate nose, she was indeed just as described in the book.
But why would she come looking for me?
Le Yan was filled with doubt and confusion.
She bit her lip before asking softly, "We don't know each other, so what brings you here?"
Liu Chutang stepped forward, her peach blossom eyes crinkling slightly with a smile, and said, "I would like to invite you to my home for a visit. Would you be willing?"
Whether she wanted to or not, it wasn't up to Leyan to decide.
Liu Chutang wasn't discussing it with her; she was informing her.
Before she could finish speaking, she swiftly stepped forward, grabbed Le Yan's hands, and pressed her soft lips tightly against Le Yan's. A bitter taste filled her throat, and Le Yan lost consciousness.
Carefully embracing the person in her arms, Liu Chutang looked at Nan Yi, who had been disguised as Le Yan, raised an eyebrow and smiled, and ordered, "Delay it as much as possible, at least until tomorrow."
Nan Yi nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over Le Yan, whom she was holding tightly, and her expression deepened.
After giving instructions to Nan Yi, Liu Chutang picked up Le Yan and prepared to leave.
The two women were able to evade the mansion's hidden guards, both overt and covert, thanks to Xiao Lanyi's arrangement of most of the people to handle the wedding preparations.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to sneak in.
After thanking Xiao Lanyi in her heart, Liu Chutang decisively left with Leyan, who had been drugged by Xiao Lanyi.
Only Nan Yi, dressed as Le Yan, remained quietly in the room.
Looking at that fiery red wedding dress, Nan Yi's expression shifted, and her thoughts returned to the conversations she had overheard through the eavesdropping Gu.
She seemed to really like this wedding dress.
Then he can't move.
After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, Nan Yi hadn't had time to think when he heard hurried footsteps approaching. He quickly turned his body, revealing only a glimpse of his profile.
Then several maids came over with food. "Mistress, this is a meal that the master specially ordered the kitchen to prepare. Please have some. The master will be back soon."
Nan Yi cleared her throat and said, "Yes, you can go now."
Although her voice wasn't entirely similar to Le Yan's, it was enough to get by for a while.
On the other side, Liu Chutang used several Gu worms to control the guards who were blocking her way, and then successfully carried Le Yan away from the mansion.
But if there are more mortals, she won't have enough Gu.
Looking back at the festive mansion, she slightly curled her lips, and a hint of disdain flickered in her eyes.
Carrying the unconscious Le Yan, Liu Chutang did not leave Jinlan Town directly, but instead chose an inn to rest temporarily.
The most dangerous place is often the safest place. When Xiao Lanyi discovers the bride is missing tomorrow, she will surely assume that she has taken the bride out of Jinlan Town. Once they leave the town to search, she will find another opportunity to leave.
Meanwhile, outside Jinlan Town, a group of people arrived in a hurry.
Leading the group was a handsome man dressed in white. He looked at the stone plaque of Jinlan Town in front of him with a slight frown.
"My lord, this is Consort Lan's hometown," the middle-aged man behind him said in a low voice.
Wen Yingchen nodded slightly, then instructed, "Have men carefully surround and guard the area, and do not alert the enemy."
Taking advantage of the emperor's absence from the capital, he disguised himself and came to Xuanzhou. He couldn't be too conspicuous, lest his whereabouts be discovered.
Wen Yingchen chose an inn not far from the Lan residence and stayed there. Little did he know that his wife and the person he was looking for were right next door to him.
Liu Chutang had only gone out to buy a set of clothes when she keenly noticed that there seemed to be many more people in Jinlan Town.
They're all guys who know martial arts and have killed people.
She couldn't help but ponder, could it be that some other force had tracked her down to Jinlan Town?
Raising her hand to touch the light veil covering her face, Liu Chutang felt somewhat relieved. Fortunately, she habitually disguised herself before wearing a veil, providing double protection so that no one could recognize her true face.
I hurried back to the inn, and as soon as I entered, I accidentally bumped into a man.
Her eyes widened in surprise for a moment, but she quickly concealed it, bowing her head and apologizing anxiously, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. Are you alright?"
The man didn't press the matter further, shaking his head and saying, "I was also wrong, you don't need to apologize."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man went out the door.
Liu Chutang paused for a few moments, glancing at the man's back with a deep look in her eyes.
This is the steward of the Wen family; she remembers him clearly.
So, the force that chased us to Jinlan Town was Wen Yingchen?
They just happened to be staying at this inn?
Liu Chutang sensed that something was wrong, so she quickly ran upstairs to the second floor and blocked the door of the room.
If Wen Yingchen were also there, that would be troublesome.
She looked up at Le Yan on the bed, pondered for a moment, then stepped forward apologetically and pressed her pressure point to put her to sleep.
Since Wen Yingchen's men are here, we absolutely cannot let them discover her presence before they leave.
They all want to take her away, but she will never let them succeed.
After pondering for a while with her eyes lowered, Liu Chutang came up with an idea.
Since that's the case, let them fight like dogs.
