Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 191 The Princess's Embroidered Robe Has Come to Life!!!

<>

"General Wang, come here and tell me in detail what exactly happened here?"

Having served as a eunuch in the palace for decades, Eunuch Fang had seen all sorts of grand scenes. He had witnessed the Fourth Prince's coup, the massacre of the entire palace, and the countless dismembered limbs scattered everywhere. To him, this little palace maid who was about to explode was nothing more than child's play.

His expression remained unchanged as he calmly beckoned to General Wang.

General Wang dared not delay and quickly told him everything about the situation.

"Oh~ So that's it!"

The old eunuch feigned sudden realization, "So, in that case, the princess's dress that Lord Lan is holding is the culprit behind this?"

He made a definitive conclusion, his tone suggesting that it was indeed true.

General Wang glanced at Yan Ning with pity in his eyes, then looked straight ahead and answered decisively, "Yes!"

Everyone in the court knows that the powerful eunuch Fang, who serves the emperor, and the esteemed scholar Lan Ming, whom the emperor brings back from his travels, are mortal enemies. Now that eunuch Fang has found a weakness in Lan Ming, he is in for a lot of trouble. Under these circumstances, it is obvious which side one should stand on.

"In that case, Lord Lan, why don't you hurry up and kill that monster in your arms?"

Eunuch Fang smiled and discussed with Yan Ning, but his tone concealed a threat.

Having received Lan Ming's memories, Yan Ning naturally understood what he meant. Instead of letting go of Yu Liu as Eunuch Fang wished, she hugged her even tighter: "I'm sorry, Eunuch Fang, please forgive me for being unable to comply."

"Oh! Lord Lan, you can't be serious!! I heard the Emperor say that you are a renowned demon slayer in the martial world, and that you can't tolerate a single demon. How come you're siding with the demons today? Could it be that the rumors about demons bewitching people are true?"

"Since Lord Lan has already been bewitched, don't blame us for showing no mercy!"

Lan Ming's existence has seriously threatened Eunuch Fang. He has long wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Lan Ming, and now that the time is right, how could he let it go?

"Guards! Seize Lord Lan and the demon in his arms!"

"...But Eunuch Fang..."

General Wang hesitated, a rare occurrence, upon hearing his order.

"...Before you arrived, a battle had already taken place here, and all my soldiers were wounded..."

"……waste!!"

Eunuch Fang cursed angrily, then turned to look behind him. He and the Emperor had come in a hurry and hadn't brought many people with them.

Even with these people and the wounded soldiers, he himself didn't believe they could take down Lan Ming.

"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, reached into his pocket, pulled out a sharp whistle, and blew it.

"squeak--"

The whistle sounded far and wide, and within a few breaths, more than a dozen dark figures rapidly converged.

"Take them down!!"

This time, even Zhengze, who had been observing from the sidelines, was included in Eunuch Fang's target.

Those dark figures seemed to be palace guards. Upon hearing Eunuch Fang's order, they rushed towards Zhengze and Yan Ning without hesitation. Each of them held two short daggers in their hands, the daggers were pitch black, and it was obvious that they were coated with poison.

Facing the approaching guards, Yan Ning leisurely straightened Yu Liu's collar and slowly yawned: "...Boring."

With a slight movement of his arm, no one could see what he did. They only felt a flash of red light before their eyes, and the red whip shadow filled their entire vision. The next moment, more than a dozen guards were sent flying backward and crashed to the ground, their fate unknown.

A look of shock flashed in Eunuch Fang's eyes. He had never expected Lan Ming to be so strong!

He had already tested Lan Ming with his bodyguards. Although Lan Ming had some strange and unpredictable abilities, his own combat strength was only comparable to that of the bodyguards, not enough to kill him with a single move!

Could it be that Lan Ming knew everything about my previous probing, and that's why he was hiding his true abilities?

“Eunuch Fang, you should know—there are some people you can’t mess with!” Yan Ning said casually, her eyes filled with dark evil.

"Lan Ming, you!!!"

The eunuch was startled by his gaze. Fearing his strength, he dared not be too arrogant and trembled with anger.

“She didn’t do this.” He looked down at the jade willow in his arms, and it was obvious who “she” referred to. “If Eunuch Fang really wants to find the murderer, he can ask the lady next to him. It’s getting late, so I’ll have to keep you company for now.”

After saying this, Yan Ning, holding her baby, really intended to leave.

Eunuch Fang wanted to stop him. Lan Ming had only been by the Emperor's side for a little over a month, yet he had already gained the Emperor's immense trust. It would be extremely difficult to get rid of him without the Emperor's knowledge. Now that the Emperor had finally found an opportunity to faint, and Lan Ming had something on him, if he let him get away like this, he would lose both his wife and his army!

"squeak--"

Having made up his mind, Eunuch Fang blew the whistle again. This time, the whistle was different from the previous one; it was noticeably longer.

"Lord Lan, you don't think that this is all the people we have, do you?" Thinking of the people he had transferred this time, Eunuch Fang felt a little more confident. He put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "As for whether this matter was done by the monster in Lord Lan's arms, Lord Lan's opinion doesn't count."

Yan Ning was already annoyed by his relentless attitude. The jade willow in his arms was also constantly moving around, clearly annoyed by Eunuch Fang's behavior.

"Hmph—my word doesn't count. Does it mean only your word counts, Eunuch Fang?"

To Yan Ning's surprise, Eunuch Fang was so shameless that he actually admitted, "Of course."

"...If I want to leave, you can't stop me."

"Is that so?" Eunuch Fang still had a smile on his face. "Why doesn't Lord Lan give it a try?"

Yan Ning frowned, wondering where this Eunuch Fang got his courage from, that he had such great confidence!

Too lazy to waste any more words with Eunuch Fang, he turned and left with Yu Liu in his arms. Zhengze, who had been hit in the chest, looked around and finally decided that it would be safer for him to follow Lan Fengzi. He took out a talisman from his chest and stuck it on his body before quietly following behind Yan Ning.

Yan Ning knew he was following her, but the others present were completely unaware that Zhengze was with her.

"Lord Lan is indeed highly skilled and daring, I admire you. However, I have done my homework on the affairs of the martial world after Lord Lan arrived, and I know of your great reputation. So, I thought about how to make you surrender. Later, I came up with a plan, although it is a bit wicked, I think it is quite good."

"This is a move I've been preparing for Lord Lan for a long time. I didn't originally intend to use it so soon, but I really don't want to miss such a good opportunity. So... Lord Lan, if you take one more step forward, these two people... will be in trouble!"

Yan Ning stopped walking, and a faint blue light flashed past where he was about to land.

"Tsk! This is really... annoying!"

He wasn't sure if it was due to the influence of this body, but Yan Ning felt he was being a bit too impulsive today, though he didn't dislike it. The red whip was lashed out the next moment, heading straight for the west.

"Snapped--"

The whip wrapped around the obstacle it encountered several times. With a forceful pull, Yan Ning managed to drag the woman, whose face was ashen, out. The woman's accessories clearly had a foreign style, and her facial features were also quite deep, suggesting that she was not from the Central Plains.

"Is it this weakling who gave you confidence?" Yan Ning sneered, and just before he was about to strangle the woman, he swung his arm, and the whip immediately released the woman, heading straight for the southeast.

"Snapped--"

Once again, they got involved with a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked rather honest and simple, and his clothes were made of hemp, making him appear quite poor.

"stop!!"

Seeing that he was about to lose his second general, Eunuch Fang finally couldn't sit still any longer.

"Lord Lan, you should think this through. These people used all of your parents' magical power to set up this formation. If you kill them, your parents will also be severely injured. Can you really bear to do that?"

Yan Ning paused in his actions. This body had long since severed ties with his parents. Logically speaking, even if he really took action, it wouldn't be a big deal. The reason Lan Ming was called the Madman Lan was because he went mad from practicing his martial arts. But Lan Ming went mad, while he wasn't. Although he was only temporarily using Lan Ming's body, to the parents of this body, he was Lan Ming. So naturally, he had to owe a debt of karma. Although this debt of karma was small, it was best to repay it as much as possible.

Thinking of this, Yan Ning completely stopped what she was doing. Looking at Eunuch Fang, who was secretly pleased with his decision, she opened her mouth, about to say something, when she saw a little palace maid running hurriedly from afar.

"Eunuch Fang—Eunuch Fang—"

The palace maid's eyes were filled with tears, and she ran unsteadily, looking extremely anxious.

"Eunuch Fang—" Upon seeing Eunuch Fang, the young palace maid knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to him urgently: "Eunuch Fang, please, please save my mistress!"

Eunuch Fang recognized the palace maid; she was Consort De's personal maid.

"Get up and tell me, what exactly happened? What's wrong with your mistress?"

Seeing that Yan Ning dared not make any rash moves, Eunuch Fang smiled with satisfaction and calmly asked the palace maid.

"Eunuch Fang, please, you must save my lady! My lady... she... she's been targeted by a ghost!!"

The palace maid's eyes still held lingering panic, and she didn't seem to be lying. Eunuch Fang glanced meaningfully at Yu Liu in Yan Ning's arms: "Oh? Don't talk nonsense. This is a sacred place, where would a ghost come from?"

"It's true!! Eunuch Fang, I saw it with my own eyes!! Suddenly, a long black mist drifted in through the window, looking like a snake, and rushed into my lady's belly. Eunuch Fang, my lady is carrying the imperial child! What if something happens to her..."

The young palace maid dared not think any further. The imperial heir in Consort De's belly was very likely the prince that the Emperor had been dreaming of. At the beginning of her pregnancy, the Emperor had given her countless instructions, fearing that something might go wrong. If the Emperor knew about Consort De's current situation, their lives would probably be in danger.

Even a palace maid could understand this, so how could Eunuch Fang not? No matter how comfortable he was as the invisible emperor, he wasn't the real emperor, so this muddle-headed emperor still had to be respected. He raised his hand to interrupt the palace maid: "Have you gone to see the imperial physician?"

"I've...I've looked."

The young palace maid looked troubled: "But... His Majesty suddenly fell into a coma, and everyone in the Imperial Hospital went to treat him. I couldn't find anyone to help, so I had no other choice but to come and ask Eunuch Fang for help!"

Although the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Academy were highly skilled, once they entered the academy, they naturally harbored ambitions for personal gain. It was obvious who was more important, the Emperor or his concubines. In order to get promoted and make money, they would naturally treat the Emperor first. Even if it was just a simple case of fainting from fright, they would insist on treating him dozens of times, taking it more seriously than they would their own mother.

As a result, Consort De, who was also in trouble, was naturally ignored, and the little palace maid was desperate, which is why she sought help from Eunuch Fang.

Upon hearing what the young palace maid said, Eunuch Fang understood everything. He took off the waist tag hanging from his waist and threw it to the young palace maid: "Go, tell her what I said, and have the Imperial Hospital send a few people to check on Consort De's condition!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Fang."

The palace maid took the waist token, and, overjoyed, turned and ran away, tears streaming down her face.

Eunuch Fang's smugness was even greater than before. He looked at Yan Ning with a veiled sarcasm: "Lord Lan, I advise you to quickly give up that demon in your arms, otherwise, the next person like Consort De will be you, Lord Lan!"

Having been repeatedly blamed for her own actions, Yu Liu's anger flared up no matter how much Yan Ning tried to soothe her. Her pale yellow embroidered dress swayed more violently, and her sleeves kept swinging, making her look very strange.

Yan Ning could no longer tolerate his repeated slanders against his wife. He threw away the long whip in his hand, reached out and grabbed at the air, and a red longsword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Just as Yan Ning was about to use her divine power to end this farce, another person ran over from a distance.

"master--"

It was that eunuch named Xiao Anzi.

"master--"

Xiao Anzi ran over quickly, panting heavily.

"Master, something's happened! News has come from outside the palace that the Prince Consort was suddenly attacked by a cloud of black mist and is now unconscious. The princess suspects he's been poisoned and has ordered someone to come to the palace to fetch the imperial physician, but the physicians at the Imperial Hospital..."

Xiao Anzi didn't need to say anything more; everyone present understood.

But what exactly is going on between the Prince Consort and Consort De?

Eunuch Fang gave Yu Liu another meaningful look, the meaning of which was very clear: he was obviously planning to pin the blame on Yu Liu again. Zheng Ze was following behind Yan Ning, and he saw all the movements of the embroidered clothes in Yan Ning's arms. He was now certain that Yu Liu was definitely not the one who had harmed the Prince Consort and Consort De!

There is definitely a very powerful demon lurking in this palace; my divination was correct!

Regular expressions are affirmative.
