The Eighth Wise King became addicted to eavesdropping on the silly princess' thoughts

Chapter 278 Returning from the lost path

Hearing that Lin Xian'er was still dreaming and talking in her sleep, Xue Bin's face turned serious!

"Xian'er, it's not that I owe Defang a favor, it's that he saved my life and is indebted to me. I have been working for him all these years, one is to repay his kindness, the other is to avenge my parents and family members who were killed by the Khitans.

You should know that Defang has never been fond of you. He was nice to you in the past only because he loved you like a little sister.

Xian'er, don't be stubborn. Princess Qin is Defang's weak spot. Anyone who dares to frame Princess Qin will be sentenced to death! Not to mention you, even if the princes and princesses dare to harm Princess Qin, Zhao Defang will kill them without hesitation. Xian'er, Defang is lenient with you because..."

Lin Xian'er suddenly caught some information and asked in shock: "Cousin, were the Second and Fourth Princes killed by Brother Defang because they harmed Princess Qin?"

In order to make Lin Xian'er realize how serious a crime it was to frame the Princess of Qin, Xue Bin nodded and said, "Yes, the King of Qin will never show mercy to anyone who dares to harm the Princess of Qin!"

“Hahahaha…” Lin Xian’er stood up and laughed wildly, “It’s true that a hero gets angry for a beauty!…Hahahaha…Why? Why is this beauty the silly princess and not me, Lin Xian’er? Hahahaha…A hero gets angry for a beauty, this beauty should be me, Lin Xian’er! Wuuuuu…”

Lin Xian'er was crying and laughing, hysterical, and in a crazy state!

Xue Bin watched silently, feeling mixed emotions and a heavy, depressed feeling. Xian'er was truly hopeless.

After Lin Xian'er had a hysterical outburst of crying and laughing, she was so tired that she fell on the bed, sobbing.

Xue Bin felt distressed and sympathetic. He walked over and patted her back to comfort her. He said softly, "Xian'er, come with me? Let's leave this place that makes you sad and live a peaceful and simple life together, okay?"

: "Go with you to that bitter and cold place in the north? Is this Zhao Defang's punishment for me?" Lin Xian'er raised her head with red eyes.

"Xian'er, I will not go to the Liao Kingdom to work. I will stay in Yanmen Pass. You can go to Daizhou or Zhending Prefecture. It's up to you to choose. I am a rich cousin and I will not let you suffer." Xue Bin advised sincerely.

"What if I don't leave? How will Zhao Defang deal with me?" Lin Xian'er asked.

Xue Bin was silent for a moment, then told the truth, "Xian'er, you committed a capital crime. Cousin Defang spared your life because of our blood relationship, but... he will not let you stay in the capital."

Lin Xian'er was filled with hatred and anger, but she also knew that Xue Bin was not trying to scare her. For the sake of that silly princess, Qin Wang Zhao Defang was really willing to ignore his relatives.

After thinking for a while with her eyes closed, Lin Xian'er opened her eyes and said pitifully, "Okay! Cousin, I'll go with you."

Xue Bin was overjoyed and his heart was pounding!

"Xian'er, you finally figured it out. You've come back to the right path. In this life, your cousin will never let you down!"

Lin Xian'er got up from the bed, looking weak and frail, "Cousin, let's go! Take me out of this dark and gloomy dungeon first."...

In the Prince of Qin's mansion, Prince of Qin Zhao Defang, Luo Li, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, and Yun Yi were discussing something.

"Tomorrow is the seven-day limit, Uncle Master. It looks like you have to go to this palace once."

The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor raised his eyebrows and said, "This palace is not Yama's Palace. The old emperor insisted on sending me there, so I'll just go there once!"

Turning to Luo Li with a flattering smile, he asked, "Master, have you extracted the castor bean toxin? If you have, bring me a bottle. I will find a chance to put it in the emperor's food. I guarantee that he will die without knowing how he died."

Luo Li didn't say anything, got up and went to the inner room. She came back a moment later with a small porcelain bottle in her hand.

The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor's eyes flashed, and he reached out to take it, but the porcelain bottle was snatched away by the King of Qin.

"Uncle Master, it's not the right time yet. Wait a few days. You don't need to do it yourself. I will arrange an insider in the palace to do it."

The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor snorted twice in dissatisfaction, "Humph! The experience of killing an emperor with my own hands was ruined by you."

Yun Yi smiled and advised: "Senior Ghost Hand, the prince's arrangements are not yet complete, so don't be anxious, just come back safely from the palace."

"Yun Yi, you look down on me?" Ghost Hand Poison Doctor glared, "How can I, Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, lose a hair after going around the palace?"

"No, no, Senior Ghost Hand, you have misunderstood. With your ability, you can even take a walk around the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea and retreat safely." Yun Yi quickly put on a smile and flattered him.

Luo Li sighed, "Now, the emperor is becoming more suspicious. Who knows when he will take our lives? This situation has really reached the point of life and death. Zhao Defang, you must not let down your guard at the critical moment. Plan carefully. It is important to save our lives. The safety of the queen mother and Yongqing in the palace must be protected."

Qin Wang Zhao Defang's eyes were firm and confident, "Li'er, don't worry, I have taken everyone's safety into consideration."

Luo Li was still somewhat nervous. Since ancient times, palace coups always resulted in rivers of blood.

No, there was! When Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin died suddenly, the current emperor ascended the throne and there was no bloodshed. Only the emperor and dozens of eunuchs and palace maids died. It seems that the Zhao family really has this talent and inheritance!

Thinking of this, Luo Li felt more at ease, and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

"Master, what are you laughing at? Have you thought of anything funny?" the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor asked curiously.

Luo Li smiled mischievously, "I thought of the excellent talent inheritance of the old Zhao family, and I couldn't help but laugh."

"Princess, Hong Gu is back and has brought her daughter Ping Er back with her." Yingchun, who was standing guard at the door, reported loudly with joy.

"Xiao Ping'er is back!" Luo Li stood up happily and walked out.

In the yard, Hong Gu was holding the hand of a little girl of five or six years old. She was surrounded by maids including Tingting, Wanqiu, Banxia and Yingxue, who were chattering and laughing.

Luo Li quickly stepped down the stone steps under the eaves and said happily: "Xiao Ping'er, come and let Aunt Luo see you!"

Several maids smiled and stepped aside, and Hong Gu came forward leading a pretty little girl with two buns on her head.

Hong Gu tugged at her daughter's hand and said, "Ping'er, kowtow to the princess. She is our lifesaver."

Ping'er was timidly looking at the princess who was as beautiful as a fairy. When she heard her mother's words, she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Luo Li took two steps forward, picked her up with a distressed look, and wiped the dirt off her forehead. "Silly girl, your mother asked you to kowtow to me, and you should have just done it once. But you kowtowed three times, don't make such a smart little head stupid."

The nervous Ping'er burst out laughing, and her reservedness and nervousness immediately disappeared. She stroked Luo Li's cheek with her little hand, "Aunt Luo, how come you are so beautiful? Your skin is so white and smooth!"

"Mmmmm!" Luo Limei kissed Ping'er on the little face, "Ping'er has a good eye. She can see at such a young age that Aunt Luo is so beautiful that she can shame the moon and the flowers, sink fish and geese to the ground, and overwhelm the whole city and the country. She is such a smart and lovely baby."

Prince of Qin Zhao Defang stood under the eaves, looking at the conceited princess with a smile on his face.

"Master! You are back and brought Ping'er back to me? Oh! Oh! I, Yuli, have a new little sister under my command!" Yuli led Ni Shan'er, Meng Qian and Meng Xue, and ran over excitedly.

Luo Li handed Ping'er over to Yuli, and watched the children greet each other warmly and introduce themselves, and soon they all burst into laughter.

With tears in her eyes, Hong Gu watched with satisfaction as her daughter was held by Yuli and Ni Shan'er's hands. Meng Qian and Meng Xue followed closely, walking towards the backyard with laughter.
