Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 136 Reminder

"what's up?"

"I heard from Zhao Yicheng and the others that Sister Youlan encountered an assassin after she left our house that day. Don't you think it's a coincidence? Sister, you should be more careful next time."

Ruoyun was very touched. In the past, her younger brother always kept silent when he saw her, and Aunt Chen always instigated him to do some small things. She didn't expect that now he was learning martial arts with Li Chuang and becoming more and more sensible.

"Sister, it's okay. You have to be careful in the academy and keep a low profile. If you can settle it with money, then use money. But we can't be fools."

"Sister, I understand. Oh, right, Zhao Yicheng told me that he once saw Mr. Li, Sister Yurou's husband, and Sister Renyue hugging each other in the kitchen. He asked me to keep it a secret. Don't tell anyone else, but you can tell Sister Youlan."

Ruoyun was not surprised at this at all. It was not surprising that Li Zong could have an affair with a maid in the mansion, let alone a widow.

"What new discoveries have you made? Tell me and I'll tell you, Sister Youlan."

"Mr. Qiu Yang injured his hand these past few days and can't write. Mr. Li is now the one teaching handwriting and grading homework."

In the evening, after Li Chuang finished teaching Jinbao and came back, Ruoyun talked about these things with him.

"My husband, I'm a little confused. If Youlan wanted to ask Jinbao something, she could have asked someone to come over, or asked Jinbao to come to the mansion. Why did she come directly to the mansion? If Youlan hadn't married before, I could understand, but she is now a princess. Doesn't she know that every move in the palace is under scrutiny? Don't you think it's strange that she was assassinated?"

Li Chuang was shocked. He asked Ruoyun, "Do you mean that Youlan was accidentally used by someone? Who would use Youlan?" After asking this question, Li Chuang was so surprised that he was speechless.

"I suspect it was the Seventh Prince. I'm terrified by my own terrifying thought. Jinbao said he met the Seventh Prince at the academy, and then Youlan came to my house to ask Jinbao to be her spy. Then she was assassinated when she left my house. Then the prince went to Jingzhao Prefecture and killed the injured masked men."

"What is the purpose of your Majesty doing this?"

"Luring the snake out of its hole. Jin Bao just mentioned a detail, saying that Mr. Qiu Yang's hand was injured. Don't you think this is too many coincidences?"

"But it's hard to believe that the Seventh Prince would use his own wife as bait. I've followed the prince before, and I know he's a man who kills decisively and can be cruel and ruthless at times. But judging by his attitude towards Ye Youlan, he wouldn't make such an arrangement. If that were the case, Ye Youlan would be heartbroken."

Ruoyun sighed: "You also know how the two of them got together, so outsiders really can't tell whether their feelings are true or not."

Li Chuang told her not to think too much and to talk to Youlan when she had a chance: "I'll take a day off tomorrow, I'll accompany you to the palace."

The next day, Ruoyun and Li Chuang came to the palace by carriage. Ye Youlan showed them around her carefully designed studio and even let them sit on a low couch and drink tea.

Ruoyun asked Youlan to take her to visit the garden of the palace, while Li Chuang sat there and continued to drink tea. The Seventh Prince came back from the martial arts training ground, took a shower and then came over to talk to him.

Ruoyun and Youlan came to the pavilion and sat down.

Youlan smiled and told Ruoyun to speak directly if she had anything to say, as they were not outsiders.

"Youlan, why did you come directly to my house to look for Jinbao that day? Actually, you could have asked Jinbao to come to your house."

Ye Youlan was stunned for a moment. She glanced at Ruoyun and said, "The other day, the prince said that he could let Jin Bao and Zhao Yicheng be our spies to investigate the academy, so he went to contact Zhao Yicheng and I went to contact Jin Bao. What's the matter?"

"Don't you feel weird?"

Youlan's voice trembled a little: "Why is it strange?"

"What kind of people are there in your palace? Do you need two children to keep an eye on the academy? And just as you left my house, assassins appeared over there. Dozens of people were killed in a flurry of attacks, and the injured eventually died in the dungeon."

"Are you suspecting that the Seventh Prince is using me to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Ruoyun nodded. "I know you're upset, but I don't want to hide it from you. Yesterday, Li Chuang and I analyzed the situation for a long time, and I feel that the Seventh Prince is very suspicious. He has always wanted to catch the mastermind behind the Liangcheng ambush. You can say that he will use any means, including using you. Youlan, I know you are sad, and I also hope that my reasoning is wrong. In short, we came here to remind you to be careful. You can judge a person's face but not his heart. You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others."

"What did Jinbao say?"

"He said that Mr. Qiu Yang's right hand is injured and he can't hold a pen to write. Recently, Li Zong has been teaching him how to write and grading homework. Do you suspect that there is something wrong with Mr. Qiu Yang?"

Youlan nodded: "We suspect he is a fake Qiu Yang. The real Qiu Yang is dead."

Ruoyun told Youlan that Li Zong and Ren Yue were together.

Ye Youlan was not surprised. She reminded Ruoyun: "You should be careful when you go out. Miaoyu was hit when she went out, and I was attacked when I went out. I am worried about you and Xiaoling."

Ruoyun's eyes slowly shifted to Youlan's face: "You really don't doubt the Seventh Prince?"

Ye Youlan smiled and patted Ruoyun's hand: "I don't know how to describe the feelings between him and me, but I believe in him."

"I'm just worried you'd get hurt."

Ye Youlan smiled and said, "Don't worry. I, Ye Youlan, can take it or leave it. If he betrays me, I will definitely hit him hard. I am not a person who is indecisive."

The Seventh Prince was a little surprised by Li Chuang and Ruoyun's sudden visit today, especially when he saw Li Chuang's brows slightly furrowed and he looked worried, not as cheerful as usual.

He got straight to the point and let him speak his mind.

Li Chuang was shocked. They came here to remind Ye Youlan to be careful of the Seventh Prince. How could they directly tell the Seventh Prince: We suspect you are using Ye Youlan? That is something only a fool would do.

"Ruoyun was worried about the princess, and I happened to be taking a break, so I came with her to see her."

The Seventh Prince raised his eyes slightly and saw that Li Chuang didn't dare to look him in the eye. He understood that they came here not just to worry about Ye Youlan.

"Do you have other thoughts about Youlan's assassination? Or are you suspecting that I am using Ye Youlan?"

Li Chuang was panicked. He picked up the cup and drank tea to hide his inner panic: "The prince and the princess have a deep relationship. It is impossible for the prince to do such a shameful thing."

The Seventh Prince smiled faintly: "Li Chuang, you have been with me for a few years. Don't I know what kind of person you are? If you have any questions, just ask directly. We are men, there is no need to beat around the bush."

Li Chuang had no way to deny it anymore, so he had to say that the result of his and Ruoyun's analysis was that the Seventh Prince used the princess to lure the snake out of its hole.

The Seventh Prince laughed heartily. "If even you and Ruoyun can think of this, how could I not? If the mastermind behind this was only this little trick, why would I have wasted nearly three years?"

Li Chuang felt that this made sense. He touched his head sheepishly and then shouted, "Not good."
