Chapter 152: The Regent of Donglin Kingdom Controls the Government
When I returned to the house, I found that my grandparents were not at home. I knew without a doubt that they must have gone to visit their neighbors and chat.
There was no one in the house except two maids. Everyone else had gone to work in the fields with Li's father.
Two maids were busy in the kitchen, and Zhiyan went into the kitchen to help prepare lunch.
The three brothers returned to their rooms, while Li Youran sat on the big bed in his room, thinking, "Yumian, can I really get whatever I want?"
"Of course! Little master, are you worried about the assassination?" Yumian could guess what the little master was thinking when she heard her tone.
"That's right, I want to conjure up many big tigers wearing indestructible armor to protect our village." Li Youran told Yumian his idea.
"This is a very good idea." Yumian agreed.
So, Li Youran decided to take action immediately. She concentrated her mind, regained her consciousness, and then stood up and walked out of the room.
At this moment, she happened to see Han Yan releasing three carrier pigeons.
It should be to inform Brother Nan Yao!
"Miss, where are you going?"
Zhu Yao walked forward and followed Li Youran closely and asked.
"Go around the village." Li Youran said lightly.
When they arrived at Lijia Village, Li Youran waved his hand and three ferocious tigers appeared in front of them. Zhu Yao next to them was startled.
Phantom and Yueying, who were hiding in the dark, were also shocked by the scene before them. Their master was so powerful.
Three tigers were crawling on the ground. Li Youran waved her hand again, and the tigers were wearing armor made of high-quality material, better than what the soldiers wore.
"Protect the safety of the village well and don't scare the villagers. If you find any suspicious men in black, bite them to death." Li Youran gave the order.
Li Youran took Zhu Yao and released three tigers to patrol every corner of the village.
When I got home, I saw Village Chief Li sitting in the main room, talking to Li's father, with an anxious look on his face.
Seeing Li Youran coming back, he said anxiously: "Youran, you are not hurt! Someone in the village ran to my house and said that Youran was assassinated, so I rushed here in a hurry."
"Uncle village chief, I'm fine. Look, I'm fine. By the way, please tell the villagers that there are armored tigers patrolling around Lijia Village. Don't shoot them. They won't hurt their own people." Li Youran turned around to show that he was fine.
He also explained the matter of the tiger guarding the village.
"Tiger? I know You Ran's abilities, but how many tigers are there?" Village Chief Li was surprised when he heard about the tiger in armor, but then he remembered that it was the baby in front of him who put it there, so he asked.
"Not many, just thirty, but enough!" Li Youran counted on his fingers.
In fact, she also secretly arranged poisonous snakes, who also considered themselves to be her own people and would not harm their own people. If a man in black came, she would poison him to death. She released a total of 300 poisonous snakes and hid them all in the cave.
The poisonous snake is a little far away from Lijia Village.
"Okay, I'll go hold a village meeting and tell everyone about this." Village Chief Li ran away in a hurry.
"Ran'er, did your three brothers encounter an accident on the way back?" Father Li frowned and asked worriedly.
Li Youran nodded honestly, "The little bird came to tell me the news, so I rode over on the little wolf. At that time, my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, Zhuyao and Hanyan were all injured. As long as they were not seriously injured, I could save them!" Li Youran raised his head again and looked at Father Li.
"Daddy doesn't blame you, it's just that these assassinations happen every now and then, they are all aimed at our family, which makes the villagers scared." Father Li saw his daughter's pitiful eyes and stroked Li Youran's head.
"Dad, don't worry. I have made sufficient preparations this time and can ensure that the villagers will not be harmed." Li Youran raised three fingers with an assured look.
"Daddy believes in Ran'er." Father Li believes in his daughter. No matter what happens, the lives of his family are the most important.
He couldn't even protect his own life, let alone the lives of the villagers.
Until the evening, Li Youran tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She couldn't figure out who wanted to kill her. Could it be Concubine Mu?
Why did Concubine Mu want to kill me? Did she kill me just because I saved the little prince? Or was it because of my title that brought disaster upon me?
...The Imperial Palace of Donglin Kingdom.
There was a sick man lying on the bed. His hair was already gray. He was in his prime, but because of his poor health and years of illness, he couldn't sleep well.
Two attendants and two maids stood beside him.
One of the attendants reported: "Your Majesty, the Regent wants to attack Nanxiang State in two years, and the ministers are aware of this."
"Cough... cough, what? The truce agreement has been signed, why... cough, we still have to attack Nanxiang Kingdom." The emperor coughed and was so angry at the regent that he was speechless.
The current emperor of Donglin Kingdom has been bedridden for years, and the kingdom is basically governed by the emperor's younger brother Han Youwei, the regent, while the emperor Han Zhuolin is just a decoration.
The prince disappeared during a hunting trip and has been searched for more than a year but still hasn't been found.
Now the emperor’s youngest son is only three years old, and the others are all princesses. He only has two sons, and they are completely controlled by the regent.
"Has the prince been found?" Emperor Han Zhuolin covered his chest and uttered a few words after a long time.
The guard shook his head gently, looking confused, and had no idea whether the prince was dead or alive.
At this time, Queen Wan Danmeng walked in quickly. When she heard that there was no news about her son, she felt hopeless. Her son was the crown prince, and now the regent was in control of the government. To put it bluntly, he could even convey the emperor's decrees on his behalf.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling better?" Wan Danmeng sat beside the bed and gently helped Han Zhuolin up.
The maids and guards around her all saluted Wan Danmeng.
"Why is the Queen here?... Ahem, still the same as always." Han Zhuolin coughed twice and looked at the gorgeous woman in front of him with a faint smile. This was the first woman he married when he was still the crown prince.
"I'm here to check on the emperor's health. You must take the medicine on time. Didn't I just hear the servant say that there is no news about the prince yet?" Wan Danmeng asked with some hopelessness. They have been searching for a year, but still have no results.
"Yeah..." Han Zhuolin nodded slowly. He had no choice.
Wan Danmeng's eyes turned slightly red and she couldn't help shedding tears. She only had one son, and he was missing. What should she, as a mother, do?
"We have sent more people to look for her. We will find her. Meng'er, don't cry." Han Zhuolin raised his hand to wipe the corners of Wan Danmeng's eyes and looked at her with heartache. Wasn't he anxious too?
