Wind and Rain Empire

Outside an elegant and simple hall, Lan Anguo, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, led Zhang Tiancheng, the son of his colleague Zhang Haisheng, into the hall slowly.

"Snowsuit!"

Zhang Tiancheng, who was only 8 years old, followed Lan Anguo's eyes and looked around but didn't see Lan Xueyi. Then he raised his head and asked Lan Anguo in puzzlement.

"Uncle Lan, where is sister Xueyi?"

Lan Anguo patted Zhang Tiancheng's little head, and said gently

"Don't worry, Tian Cheng, your sister Xueyi will be out in a while."

Then he continued to call out, "Xue Yi, come quickly, your brother Tian Cheng from Uncle Zhang's family is here, you can play with him!"

Zhang Tiancheng also called out with a childish voice

"Sister Xueyi! What are you doing?"

A young girl's voice came from inside the house

"Hey, here we come!"

A cute 10-year-old girl, Lan Xueyi, was wearing a blue and white girl's outfit and came running in small steps. Looking at Lan Anguo, she asked in a crisp voice.

"What is Daddy calling Xueyi for? Xueyi is practicing calligraphy."

Xiao Lan Xueyi glanced at Xiao Zhang Tiancheng beside Lan Anguo

Zhang Tiancheng looked at Lan Xueyi from head to toe, opened his mouth wide in surprise, and exclaimed

"Wow~! Uncle Lan, sister Xueyi is so beautiful!"

Lan Xueyi looked at Zhang Tiancheng at the side, and asked Lan Anguo

"Daddy, whose child is this?"

Lan Anguo took Zhang Tiancheng's little hand, made Zhang Tiancheng stand in front of him, and squatted halfway facing Lan Xueyi.

"Xueyi, this is the younger brother Tiancheng from your uncle Zhang's family who is a colleague of your father. He came to play with you today, so stop studying and accompany you younger brother Tiancheng, okay?"

Zhang Tiancheng looked at Lan Xueyi with sparkling eyes

Lan Xueyi was a little unhappy, pouted and said to Lan Anguo

"But Daddy, Xueyi hasn't finished practicing calligraphy yet, and she has to recite "The Analects of Confucius" after she finishes practicing calligraphy." She glanced at Zhang Tiancheng, pointed at Zhang Tiancheng and said

"Besides, why should Xue Yi play with him?"

Lan Anguo was stunned by Lan Xueyi's words, he was at a loss for words, thought for a while, then patted Lan Xueyi's head

"Because it's rare for your younger brother Tiancheng to come to our house to play, Xueyi, you won't practice or recite today, be good."

Zhang Tiancheng stretched out his small hand to grab Lan Xueyi's sleeve

"Because I want to marry Sister Xueyi as your daughter-in-law in the future, so you must play with me, Sister Xueyi!"

Lan Anguo pinched Zhang Tiancheng's little face and said with a smile

"You good boy, do you know what a daughter-in-law is at such a young age?"

Zhang Tiancheng puffed out his small mouth and put his hips on his hips, looking proud

"Of course I know. My mother is my father's daughter-in-law. She not only wants to play with my father, but also eats and sleeps with my father. The two are always together."

So he continued to reach out and grab Lan Xueyi's sleeves and shake them

Lan Xueyi pouted and looked at Zhang Tiancheng with a very unwelcome expression.

"I don't want to play with you, don't want to be your wife, don't pull my sleeves"

"Sister Xueyi, if you don't agree to play with me and be my wife, I won't let go."

Lan Anguo smiled and said to Lan Xueyi

"Xue Yi, you just promise your younger brother Tiancheng, anyway, he won't remember when he grows up, he's just playing with novels now."

Lan Xueyi changed into a serious face like a little adult and looked at Lan Anguo

"The ancients said: Once a word is said, it is hard to follow, so Xueyi will not agree to him!"

Turning his head to Zhang Tiancheng in a threatening tone

"Are you letting go?"

Zhang Tiancheng was a little angry, pouting his temper

"Don't let go, don't let go!"

Lan Xueyi waved his sleeves, seeing that Zhang Tiancheng wouldn't let go, so he pushed Zhang Tiancheng hard, and Zhang Tiancheng fell to the ground. After the fall, Zhang Tiancheng burst into tears

Lan Xueyi made a face at Zhang Tiancheng and ran away

Lan Anguo rushed away from Lan Xueyi

"Yuki you!"

Then he carefully helped Zhang Tiancheng up and asked

"Tian Cheng, does it hurt from the fall?"

Zhang Tiancheng stood up wiping his tears, pouted and shook his head

"Tiancheng does not hurt"

Lan Anguo looked at Lan Xueyi's back and sighed

"Hey, my daughter, at a young age..."

Lan Xueyi ran back to the house, and the prime minister's wife, Mrs. Jiang, greeted her

"Xue Yi, who was crying outside just now?"

"a nuisance"

"Hate ghost?" Jiang was puzzled

Lan Xueyi nodded

"Father said it was his colleague Uncle Zhang's family's child's name. I don't remember. He asked me to play with him and let me be his wife!"

Jiang Shi laughed out loud

"So funny? How old is he?"

"Looks younger than me"

Jiang Shi was slightly surprised and asked

"You're so young, why do you say such things? This child is really precocious. I have to go and see him. Maybe he can become your husband-in-law Xueyi in the future."

Jiang tidied up her clothes for a while, then handed a pair of embroidered shoes on the table to Lan Xueyi

"My wife sewed this for you, try it to see if it fits you well"

"Thank you ma'am"

Lan Xueyi happily took the shoes and put them on, Jiang stepped out of the room, turned around and said

"Mother, go see him and see what this kid is like"

In the imperial study room at this time, the emperor was pacing up and down with a book, thinking about the problem while reading it, looking restless, and finally threw the book on the messy desk

The emperor's confidant, Eunuch Wu, brought tea into the room and saw the mess on the desk, so he put the tea tray on the ground and went to tidy up the desk

The emperor glanced sideways at the desk, turned his back to look at the paintings and calligraphy on the wall, and said to Eunuch Wu indifferently.

"That table doesn't need to be cleared"

Eunuch Wu immediately stopped, stood sideways, and replied

"Yes, official"

The emperor walked to the desk and sat down, sighing

"Hey"

He rested his head on his hands, and for a long time, he was fair to Mr. Wu

"Come here"

Eunuch Wu thanked "Official Xie" and then stood up, looking at the emperor's face, carefully asked

"Officer, what's on your mind?"

The emperor put away his head and hands, sat upright and said

"It's not that Lan Anguo, it's really disturbing."

Eunuch Wu thought about it

"Prime Minister Lan? I heard from the officials that he colluded with the Jinren. I don't know if he has repented now."

"It was indeed my fault in the first place."

The emperor stood up slowly and began to pace the room

"He hated me so he made friends with the Jinren. Now he realizes that the Jinren's infiltration power is beyond his control and he is a bit afraid, so he unilaterally breaks the contract with the Jinren."

The emperor stands still

"During this back and forth collusion, he has mastered a lot of Jinren information, which may leak at any time, so Jinren now regards him as a thorn in his side and has to be removed."

Eunuch Wu humbly lowered his head and looked up at the emperor

"What does the official mean?"

"Although I am ashamed of Xiang Lan, since he also colluded with the golden man and betrayed me, there is no debt between me and him. As for how the golden man handles him, that is the business of the golden man. It has nothing to do with me. ..."

The emperor fell into deep thought, his eyes drooped, and later he spoke to Eunuch Wu.

"Tonight, you send a few people to guard near Prime Minister Lan's mansion. If there is any change, you only need to ensure the safety of Prime Minister Lan's daughter and her nurse."

Eunuch Wu bowed and replied

"Yes, official"

The emperor walked to the window, heaved a long and worried sigh, and shook his head

"Lan Xiang, Lan Xiang, even if I did something that I'm sorry for you, you absolutely shouldn't do it."

At night, the moon is full and the stars are sparse, only a few night owls slowly fly by, making some frightening noises

The maid of the prime minister's mansion was walking in the corridor of the courtyard with a lantern. A man in black hung from above the corridor, hugged her from behind, and cut her throat. After the maid fell to the ground and died, three other men in black followed suit. follow jump into the yard

The people in black quickly separated, lit the incense and blew it into each room

Mrs. Jiang was falling asleep and turning over. She woke up when she heard the movement, and saw a black shadow flashing outside the window, so she rubbed her eyes, pushed Prime Minister Lan who was sleeping next to her, and whispered, "Master! Master! There seems to be some movement outside."

Wrapped in a quilt, Lan Anguo turned over and asked sleepily.

"You don't sleep well at night, what are you pushing me for?"

Jiang was anxious but did not dare to shout loudly

"My lord, there are people walking around in the profile picture outside the house, could it be that there are assassins?"

Lan Anguo woke up with a start, quietly got off the ground, opened the door and looked around, and turned back to Jiang after finding nothing unusual.

"There is no one outside, are you blind?"

Jiang stood up, raised her voice and argued

"No! I saw clearly that a man in black passed by the window!"

A man in black passed by the window, heard a voice in the house, and turned his head

Suddenly the bedroom door was kicked open, the man in black stabbed Lan Anguo and his wife after entering the door, stuck a dagger embedded with green gemstones in Lan Anguo's chest, and then jumped out of the door

Both Lan Anguo and his wife fell into a pool of blood

The nurse Wang Yuhe hurriedly opened Lan Xueyi's bedroom door and closed it, and pushed the sleeping Zhengxiang's Lan Xueyi

Lan Xueyi rubbed his eyes and sat up

"Wang Ma, what's the matter?"

Wang Yuhe quickly covered Lan Xueyi's mouth, pointed to the black shadows that flashed outside the window from time to time, and whispered to Lan Xueyi

"Go to the closet quickly, don't open the closet door no matter what happens outside, understand?" Then he pushed Lan Xueyi into the closet

Lan Xueyi nodded and whispered

"I see...but what about my parents?"

Wang Yuhe continued to whisper

"We'll wait until dawn to find them"

Just as Wang Yuhe closed the closet door, a man in black entered the room and stabbed Wang Yuhe in the stomach, causing Wang Yuhe to fall to the ground

Seeing no one in the room, the man in black went to the cabinet

Lan Xueyi in the closet took a deep breath, covered his mouth and looked nervously at the closet door

When the man in black was opening the cabinet door, a whistle came from outside the yard

The man in black turned around and ran away, Lan Xueyi closed the cabinet door nervously

In the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, four men in white hats and white clothes jumped from the roof and fought with four other men in black.

Not long after, the four black-clothed men obviously lost their martial arts to the white-clothed men, and jumped onto the roof to escape.

Wang Yuhe covered her abdomen with one hand and supported the wall with the other. She limped and strenuously walked to the courtyard. When she saw the man in white, she was startled and took a few steps back and sat paralyzed by the wall.

The leading man in white walked towards Wang Yuhe and asked

"Are you Wang Yuhe?"

Wang Yuhe was stunned when he heard this, and asked

"I am, are you sent by the government to kill us?"

Seeing Wang Yuhe's injury, the white-clothed leader turned his head to another white-clothed man, and the other white-clothed man stepped forward and took out gauze from his pocket to bandage Wang Yuhe's abdomen

The leader in white asked again

"Is Lanxiang Qianjin safe?"

Wang Yuhe looked at the man in white warily.

"You haven't answered me yet, I can't tell you"

The leader in white replied

"We were ordered to protect you two"

Wang Yuhe questioned the leader in white

"On whose order?"

The white-clothed leader ignored Wang Yuhe, and ordered the rest of the white-clothed men:

"Go in and search!"

People in white go away

In the closet, Lan Xueyi heard someone's footsteps approaching, and quickly closed her eyes. As the footsteps got closer, the door of the closet opened with a "squeak"

The leader in white saw Lan Xueyi sleeping in the closet, and checked her breath with his hands, Lan Xueyi frowned tightly and held her breath

The inner monologue of the leader in white

"This little girl is still pretending to be dead, hmph, she's pretty smart"

then turned and left

Lan Xueyi opened his eyes to watch the leader in white leave, noticed the red pattern on the hat of the man in white, and then closed the closet door

People in white go to the courtyard to gather

The leader in white is humane to other whites

"The prime minister's daughter has been found and is still alive"

Wang Yuhe clutched his wound, anxiously asked the leader in white

"How is she? What did you do to her!"

The leader in white didn't pay attention to Wang Yuhe, and turned to the other men in white.

"Our mission is done, let's get out of here now"

And said to Wang Yuhe, "You can do it for yourself"

People in white lined up and left from the gate in an orderly manner

Sitting by the well, Wang Yuhe supported the wound, took out a small pill from his sleeve and put it in his mouth

Little Lan Xueyi fell asleep in the closed cabinet, breathing evenly

A ray of sunlight shone through the crack of the closet door. After Lan Xueyi woke up, she opened the closet door. She looked around and found nothing unusual, then walked out slowly

The corpses of the servants were lying everywhere in the courtyard, and the blood under their bodies had already coagulated

Trembling, Lan Xueyi stepped on the blood stains and stepped over one corpse after another. When he saw Wang Yuhe sitting by the well, he hurried forward

Wang Yuhe was leaning against the well, feeling uncomfortable, and saw Lan Xueyi regain her spirits in a blink of an eye, so she clutched her stomach and shouted

"Miss, ma'am!"

Lan Xueyi ran over, squatted down, and saw the wound on Wang Yuhe's abdomen

"Wang Ma, you are injured, I will go outside and call you a doctor"

Wang Yuhe shook his head, grabbed Lan Xueyi

"Miss, you don't have to worry about me, go and see how Mrs. Madam is doing."

Lan Xueyi nodded at Wang Yuhe, stood up and agreed with a "Yeah!" Then turned and ran towards the house

The owner's bedroom was in a mess, and the bodies of the prime minister and his wife were just lying there

Lan Anguo fell on the bed with a dagger stuck in his body, and the bed was stained with bright red blood, while Jiang's throat was cut, and his hands were tightly covering his neck, blood was all over his hands

Lan Xueyi knelt in front of her parents' corpses, pushed her parents, she asked in confusion

"Mother, mother? Father? What's wrong with you, wake up!"

That tiny hand pushed Lan Anguo's body vigorously, and began to cry when he saw no response

"Is it because the child is disobedient and you are angry with the child?"

She pushed Jiang again and saw that there was still no response from the two of them, so she burst into tears

"Father! Mother!"

Lan Xueyi threw herself on the dead Jiang and cried bitterly
