Chapter 442 I Want Situ Lian to Be Defeat
Things went so smoothly that even Li Mulan herself was surprised.
However, at this moment, Crown Prince Situ Lian was about to explode.
Early in the morning, his men came to report that the prisoner in the dungeon had escaped. He immediately noticed something was wrong and rushed to the palace to check on Whisper.
Sure enough, the person also disappeared.
Situ Lian was furious, and none of his men dared to breathe.
Next, the entire Ronghe City fell into a strange and tense atmosphere.
The common people didn't know what had happened, they only knew that something important had been lost in the Prince's residence, which led to the city being under martial law. The Prince's men were everywhere in the streets, looking for something or someone.
At this moment, Li Mulan was in the residence of Nalande, the left prime minister of Northern Qi.
She sat at the table, writing something seriously.
Seeing how relaxed she was, Nalande was so angry that he almost laughed.
Yesterday he received a token saying that an old friend wanted to bring a few people to stay at his house. He was very excited, thinking that the old friend had come to Northern Qi. He was ready to entertain them well, but Li Mulan came with the seriously injured Qingyu and Long Yi, and stayed there without any hesitation.
Nalande had a good memory, but now he regretted that his memory was too good. He could even remember what the former Crown Princess who had died many years ago looked like. Especially today, even he, who had lived in seclusion for many years, had heard about the movements in the Crown Prince's Mansion. It was conceivable what the situation outside was like.
But this girl, although she looked like a teenager, but... He had a hunch that she was a girl, and she must have changed her appearance. Now she was so leisurely and even comfortable in his study, writing a prescription.
"Prime Minister Nalan's residence should have its own doctors and medicinal materials. Please ask the Prime Minister to find someone to prepare all these medicinal materials. If there is anything missing," Li Mulan raised the corners of her lips, "with the Prime Minister's ability, it should not be difficult to buy the medicinal materials without the eyes and ears of the Crown Prince, right?"
Nalande shook his head and laughed, "Girl, you haven't introduced yourself since the moment you came to my house until now, right? Why do you think I would be willing to take the risk to find herbs for you?"
Li Mulan raised her eyebrows. "If I didn't want to, the Prime Minister should have not allowed us to enter the palace from the beginning, right?"
Nalande looked at her with admiration. She was such a quick-witted girl, but I didn't know what her relationship was with that person. Recently, I heard that the Regent Princess of Daqing was the disciple of that person, the only female disciple. Could it be her?
"The noise outside was caused by you, girl?"
"What do you mean, Prime Minister?"
"It is rumored that a valuable treasure has been lost in the Prince's Mansion, and a search is underway throughout the city."
"I didn't take anything from the Prince's Mansion."
"As for the treasure, it's not necessarily something. Maybe... it's some important person? For example, the woman in the guest room, if I remember correctly, she should be the crown princess who died many years ago. Is this... a resurrection?"
Li Mulan thought Nalande's words were quite interesting. It was rumored that he was mediocre and a fence-sitter. But now it seems that the rumors are really unreliable. The records she saw in the library on the mountain were not like this. This left prime minister, hehe. Can a person who can get a compliment from his own old fox be an ordinary person?
"Prime Minister, your eyesight is blurry, right? How can a dead person come back to life? And after so many years? It seems that your eyesight is not very good. It happens that I know a little bit of medical skills. Can I take a look at you?"
Nalande snorted coldly, "Alright, I have to deal with this trouble even though I don't want to. For that person's sake, I won't bother with a little girl like you. You should leave as soon as possible, and I will pretend that I have never seen you."
Li Mulan held her chin with both hands and smiled, "That won't do. It's rare for me to come to Northern Qi. Master said that if I get into trouble, I can always ask you for help. You can't refuse to help."
Click! Has her identity been exposed? She is indeed the disciple of that person. She is the regent princess of Daqing, and her identity is sensitive. At this time, if anything bad happened in the court of Northern Qi, outsiders would implicate her.
Nalande's face was not looking good. "Does your master know that you came to Northern Qi?"
Li Mulan nodded, "Of course!"
"He asked you to come to see me?"
"Hmm! He said that if I encounter a problem that I can't solve, I can come to Prime Minister Zuo and he will definitely be able to help solve it."
"Humph," Nalande didn't believe what she said, "The Regent Princess is so powerful, why does she need help from a person like me who does nothing? You may not know that although I hold the title of Left Prime Minister, I have no real power. I got this position only because of the glory and protection of my ancestors."
"Oh? Really? That's strange, that's not what my master told me."
Nalande looked at Li Mulan, and was very curious, "What did your master say about me?"
Li Mulan shrugged, "Not much, just one sentence."
Nalande stared at her intently, waiting for her to say the next words.
Li Mulan did not spoil his fun at this time, and said bluntly, "Master said that you are a person of great talent."
Hearing this, Nalande was stunned at first, then smiled bitterly, "I... am a useless person, not worthy of a man as talented as him."
"Useless? How could that be? The Prime Minister has endured hardships for ten years, and the little prince has grown up now. How long can you endure?"
Nalande looked at her fiercely, his eyes full of vigilance and even a hint of murderous intent.
Li Mulan waved her hands, "Don't be nervous, I don't want to blackmail you, I just want to help you, you are too slow, I can't wait."
"Help me?" Nalande's guard did not weaken at all. "Help me with what? And what do you know?"
Li Mulan pretended to think and tilted her head. "I know... Hehe, quite a lot. For example, the Fourth Prince was not actually dead back then, but was sent to you by Concubine Chun, your sister, as a replacement for the Crown Prince. He has been raised by you for so many years. I also know that you somehow managed to make General Xuanyuan Hong of Zhennan give up his nephew and stand on your side. Oh, no, it's the Fourth Prince's side. Another example..."
"That's enough," Nalande looked at Li Mulan with a sullen face. He didn't expect that what he had been planning for many years would be revealed to this girl. "What exactly does the Regent Princess want?"
Li Mulan smiled, and her smile was unusually bright, making her originally ordinary face look more radiant.
"I want Situ Lian to fail miserably."
Nalande frowned, "Why? Just for the Crown Princess?"
Li Mulan snorted coldly, "My sister is my family. How can I sit back and watch her being bullied like this? Besides, Situ Lian is a pervert with corrupt personal ethics and cruel heart. He kills innocent people and harms loyal people. I don't believe that the Prime Minister really wants to let such a scumbag become the emperor of Northern Qi?"
