Chapter 196 The Princess's Embroidered Robe Has Come to Life!!!
"Judging from this, the second princess, who was already suspicious, is now even more suspicious!"
After listening to the whole story, Yu Liu spoke with an air of seriousness.
"I think we should focus our investigation on the Second Princess next, A-Ning, what do you think?"
"It's all up to you."
Yan Ning immediately said indulgently.
Zhengze immediately rolled his eyes, unable to bear their affectionate display: "Do you even need to tell me?! If the Imperial Son-in-Law and Consort De really have the kind of relationship we're thinking of, then it's no coincidence that they both fell victim to the same thing. It's possible that someone is behind it all. The Second Princess, who knows the truth and was even provoked by the Emperor, is of course the most suspicious!"
"Then let's decide. Let's start the investigation with the Second Princess!" Yu Liu looked at Zheng Ze, seeking his opinion.
Zhengze looked at the embroidered-robed woman facing him like the other person, and twitched his lips speechlessly: "Of course. Moreover, we need to make arrangements as soon as possible to find a way to avoid the guards outside the palace and monitor the Second Princess, so as to prevent her from harming anyone else during this time!"
"Should we arrange for someone to keep watch?" Yu Liu looked around. Of the four people present, she was currently just a piece of clothing, and her abilities were limited. The eldest princess was a woman with no strength to even kill a chicken. Naturally, the task of monitoring the second princess would fall to the two men. "Which of you two will go?"
After thinking for a moment, and out of selfishness, Yu Liu changed her mind: "Oh no, why don't you go, Zhengze?"
Zhengze frowned: "Normally, shouldn't it be Lan Fengzi who goes? If the Second Princess really is that monster, I can't do anything to her. Letting the powerful Lan Fengzi go is perfect. We can stay here to deal with that Eunuch Fang and see if we can find out any other useful information. Everyone doing their own job, isn't that good?"
Monitoring the Second Princess could be life-threatening. Besides, having finally developed some feelings for a woman and having a chance to be alone with her, he should stay and nurture their relationship. Judging from the interaction between Lan Fengzi and that embroidered woman, they definitely have a deep bond; being separated for a while won't hurt.
Zhengze thought shamelessly.
“But it’s Aning who has a grudge against Eunuch Fang. Shouldn’t Aning be the one to deal with Eunuch Fang?” Yu Liu wasn’t as easy to fool as she seemed: “Besides, even if you can’t beat that monster, you can still protect yourself. Even if you do fight that monster, as long as you hold out until Aning gets there, you won’t lose your life. We all believe in your abilities!”
"But... even if we don't lose our lives, we'll still get hurt..." the princess weakly retorted, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at Zhengze. "Besides, there's always a chance of something going wrong... what if something really happens? Let the strongest go..."
That's something that's really hard to refute.
Yu Liu reached out her sleeve and adjusted her collar. "Alright, if Aning really wants to spy on the Second Princess, then I'll go with Aning!"
“We were supposed to be together anyway. I’m not comfortable leaving you here with these two.” Yan Ning, imitating Yu Liu, reached out and tugged at her collar. “I’ll go to the Second Princess’s place. Remember to contact me if anything happens. We’re leaving now.”
After saying that, without giving Zhengze and the princess any time to react, he picked up Yu Liu and disappeared from the spot.
The princess stared in astonishment at the figure that had suddenly vanished, her eyes wide with amazement: "Lord Lan is so amazing!"
Yan Ning volunteered to monitor the Second Princess. Zheng Ze was initially a little guilty, but upon hearing the princess's praise, he instantly forgot his guilt and said in a slightly sour voice, "Tch, what's so great about that? It's just the simplest way to shrink the distance between people. I can do that too!"
"Really?" The princess's gaze immediately shifted, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Zhengze. Suddenly realizing her situation, she blushed and lowered her head.
"Of course it's true!" Zhengze naturally wouldn't miss her sparkling eyes, thinking her reaction was simply too adorable. "It's just a very simple spell. Do you want to learn it? If you do, I can teach you!"
"I...can I learn?"
"Of course! Come on, I'll teach you!"
……
Inside Zhu Fang Palace, even though two people were missing, the atmosphere became even more lively.
Looking down at the increasingly ambiguous atmosphere, Yu Liu scoffed, "Tch—he's so clueless, all he knows is flirting with girls. I think he's almost forgotten his own responsibilities!"
"Let him forget it. In any case, it was his own choice." Yan Ning smiled mysteriously and replied indifferently.
Yu Liu focused her gaze on his face. "Ah Ning, I don't know why, but I always feel like you've changed... And, are you hiding a lot of things from me?"
Yan Ning froze for a moment, a flurry of thoughts flashing through her mind, before finally regaining her composure.
He smiled broadly, his gaze open and honest: "I also feel that there may be some changes in me, probably because of this body. After all, I didn't transmigrate here, but instead possessed Lan Ming's body. It's normal to be influenced by him to some extent, isn't it?"
That makes sense. Yu Liu's doubts were dispelled. Recalling the questions she had when she first woke up, she quickly seized the opportunity to ask, "Do you remember how you got here? It's so strange. You just came to my house, so why did you suddenly travel here?"
Speaking of before her time travel, Yu Liu suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, there's something I haven't settled accounts with you for yet!! Why didn't you ever tell me that you were Marshal Dongfang!!! It made me panic when I heard that Dongfang Qingyuan was going to the Marshal's mansion to propose marriage!!"
When old grievances were brought up, Yan Ning not only remained calm, but a hint of pleasure flashed in her eyes. It seemed that Xiao Liu'er's memory had not only failed to return, but she also didn't remember anything that happened afterward; her memory stopped at the moment when Dongfang Qingyuan had just arrived at the Marshal's Mansion.
"The reason I didn't reveal my identity back then was because I had no other choice." Yan Ning looked tenderly at the embroidered clothes in her arms. "Although the relationship between the Dongfang family and the Taishu family isn't exactly irreconcilable, they are basically political enemies. I was afraid that if I approached you with my true identity, you wouldn't give me the chance to get to know you. So, I just... wanted to increase the chances of getting to know you!"
"As for the time travel, I know nothing about it, just like you. I just came clean with you and was about to ask for your forgiveness when suddenly everything went black. When I woke up, I was Lan Ming. Fortunately, you are still here in this world."
He hugged Yu Liu tightly, his thoughts churning, and his eyes welled up with tears.
