Chapter 488 - 488: Turning Danger Into Salvation



Since Lan Ruobing was extraordinary and had access to memories from two lifetimes, she could see many details. She could also identify the poison the emperor had prepared to use on Lan Ruozhu.

The poison was tasteless and had five colors, and one would be unable to detect it even if one touched it. At that moment, Lan Ruobing suddenly burst into tears, which attracted everyone’s attention.

Everyone thought it was bizarre when the young princess suddenly started crying.

Lan Xiyao and Bing Suwan were heartbroken as their daughter was typically well-behaved and did not cry. Bing Suwan quickly carried her daughter when the little girl started crying.

Everyone focused on Lan Ruobing because of her sudden outburst. Moreover, she was beside the emperor, so he could not use the poison in front of everyone.

He could only glance at the crying child with an icy gaze. However, only a moment passed before he switched to a kinder gaze.

Lan Ruobing snorted coldly in her heart. ‘This Emperor is good at pretending. He doesn’t look old, maybe only a few years younger than my father. His princess is also very young, with the oldest being six.’

She deliberately approached the emperor, saying, “Hug, hug.”

She looked like she wanted him to hug her, but her actions scared her parents. “Daughter, you can’t hug the emperor.”

The two parents were anxious, but the emperor suddenly laughed and gave Lan Ruozhu to Lan Xiyao and Bing Suwan before hugging their daughter.

Lan Ruobing stopped crying when the emperor hugged her, and everyone thought it was amazing. They started to praise the little girl and thought it was nothing more than bootlicking the emperor.

It was said that the emperor was a son of the heavens, and any child would stop crying if he carried them. He even praised how bold Princess Lan was.

When Lan Ruobing heard his words, she secretly snorted. She let him hug her and deliberately smiled back at him. Little did the emperor know the little girl had hidden a tiny needle with her.

Then she discreetly used it to prick an acupuncture point on the emperor’s hand. He felt his hand go numb and reflexively let go of Lan Ruobing when his hand ran out of strength.

The little girl fell to the ground, shocking the people around them. Luckily, Bing Suwan was beside them and was quick enough to catch her daughter.

“Wow…”

Lan Ruobing hugged her mother and started crying. Everyone was petrified and thought the emperor had deliberately dropped the young princess to kill her.

‘The young princess is so cute. How could the emperor bear to kill a child?’

‘Does he dislike Lan Xiyao and his family?’

‘Is the emperor so impatient to act against King Lan Xiyao?’

Everyone’s imaginations ran wild. They could initially feel the emperor’s subtle attitude toward King Lan Xiyao and his family. At that moment, everyone thought it was even more apparent.

They saw what had just happened but dared not even breathe loudly. Still, everyone stopped eating and drinking, and the place fell silent. No one dared to speak a word.

Bing Suwan was frightened, and her face turned pale. She almost could not suppress her anger, but just before losing it, she looked down at Lan Ruobing and stuck her tongue out at the little girl before sighing with relief.

She knew her daughter was clever yet mischievous. After thinking about it, Bing Suwan would not publicly act against the emperor, no matter how dissatisfied he was with her husband.

However, others would not think so. They only felt the emperor could not help but want to make a move on King Lan Xiyao.

‘Is he that impatient?’

‘Lan Xiyao had just won a battle and rendered meritorious service.’

At this moment, everyone was in danger. They knew the emperor was a terrible person as he had stepped on the blood of his brothers to ascend the throne. Therefore, they did not know if they should tolerate him.

Many had even started thinking of ways to protect themselves.

Meanwhile, Lan Xiyao was so angry that he wanted to fly into a fit of rage. After all, he cared most about his wife, daughter, and son.

No one could move, not even the emperor. Lan Xiyao did not have any pedantic thoughts and cared not about loyalty. He only guarded Chu Country to protect its people and prevent them from suffering from war.

Lan Xiyao wanted to protect the country and bring peace to the world. He was not fighting for the emperor but for the people. However, Lan Xiyao was not a martial artist but understood wisdom.

Before the emperor could speak, Lan Xiyao said aggrievedly, “Is Your Majesty dissatisfied with me? Do you want to kill my daughter?

“Everyone knows my daughter is this humble subject’s treasure. If anything happens to my daughter, this humble subject won’t be able to live. I will collapse.

“Your Majesty, your ancestor accompanied our ancestor to conquer the world when he was alive. I wonder how he would feel if he knew his great-great-granddaughter had almost fallen to her death.”

Lan Xiyao felt so wronged that he was about to cry. He lowered his head and wiped his tears.

Bing Suwan said, “If His Majesty dislikes us, we’ll leave the capital with our children. ”

The deceased royal’s land was not in the capital. The emperor was the one who wanted to feel at ease and had issued a proclamation to let King Lan Xiyao and his family stay in the capital.

The emperor’s head started to hurt, and he wanted to take action against the king. Since Lan Xiyao and his wife usually observed their two children with utmost importance, the people he had arranged to hurt them could not do anything.

He also could have poisoned Lan Ruozhu without anyone noticing. Then he no longer needed to fear the deceased royal’s people as long as Lan Ruozhu’s body was weak.

Once Lan Xiyao and his wife died while leaving behind a sickly Lan Ruozhu, the emperor would no longer feel threatened. If that had happened, the deceased royal’s military power would fall into the emperor’s hands.

However, the emperor never expected such a situation to occur. He was now at a complete disadvantage.

Since Lan Xiyao and his wife had threatened to leave the capital, the emperor wondered what would happen if they were too far away, and others intended to rebel.

Ultimately, he could only try to persuade the couple to stay and explain that he did not want to act against them just now. Since the situation had come to this, the emperor could not act against Lan Xiyao’s people for a long time.

After all, everyone would immediately suspect the emperor if anything happened to the people of the deceased royal’s mansion. That was why the emperor felt so aggrieved.

He was so angry that he almost lost it, but he still had to comfort Lan Xiyao, who looked like he was about to lash out. The emperor never imagined a one-year-old child meddling with his plans.

Lan Ruobing knew she had to grow up quickly because she could not do anything with her current body. She could better prevent things like these from happening after growing up.

Of course, Lan Xiyao and his family left the Imperial Palace with their children because of this little interlude, and no one could say a thing. Even the emperor could not blame them for it.

After getting on the carriage, Bing Suwan looked at her daughter, smiling slyly in her arms before helplessly saying, “Did you do that on purpose just now?”

The two parents knew their daughter was smart enough to understand them.

Lan Ruobing nodded while her mother felt angry yet helpless. However, she did not want to scold her daughter. “Do you know how dangerous that was?”

Bing Suwan was shocked. Her heart still pounded as she felt a lingering fear in her bones.

Lan Ruobing said childishly, “That emperor is an evil man who wants to harm my brother..”
