The palace maid's eyes were full of fear, and she sensed a hint of danger coming towards her. She didn't know how to respond to Liu Yanran, so she just begged for mercy with a trembling voice: "Miss Liu, please calm down, I...I didn't mean to see it. "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone. I will keep it secret and won't let others know..." Liu Yanran has never been as embarrassed as she was just now. All her pride and dignity have been wiped out by Xiao Tingyan. He stepped on her feet and trampled her hard. Xiao Tingyan was her cinnabar mole. Even if he was so ruthless to her, she would not blame him. But this palace maid was different. She saw her most embarrassed and embarrassing moment. If If she lets this palace lady go, the palace lady will definitely tell all about her embarrassment and despicability. When the time comes, if the ladies in Kyoto City know about it, they may not know how to laugh at her, the most talented woman in Kyoto. If her reputation is ruined , wouldn’t there be even less hope of marrying the King of Banquets? Liu Yanran shook her head, no, she would never allow such an accident to happen. There was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes: "I believe that only the dead can keep their mouths shut..." The palace maid's face was pale. She was struggling, trying hard to break away from Liu Yanran's control, and wanted to escape. Unexpectedly, Liu Yanran touched a stone from nowhere. She moved very quickly without any hesitation, and fiercely moved towards the palace maid. The palace maid's head was smashed. With a bang, blood suddenly splattered on the palace maid's head. Some of the blood splashed onto Liu Yanran's face... She was afraid that the palace maid's death was not thorough enough, so she hit her hard several times. Her body was limp, without any struggle or sound, and her head fell backward. Liu Yanran let go of the palace maid's arm and threw the blood-stained stone in her hand to the ground. She slowly got up from the ground. , looked coldly at the palace maid who had expired and was covered in blood. With an extremely calm expression, she walked to the lake not far away and washed the blood on her face. She tidied herself up and re-entered the banquet as if nothing had happened. As soon as she sat down, Concubine Shu smelled a strong smell of blood emanating from her body. "Yanran, where did such a strong smell of blood come from? What did you do when you went out just now?"

Liu Yanran picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. She told Concubine Shu everything about what had just happened word by word. Concubine Shu turned pale after hearing this. She covered her mouth and looked at Liu Yanran in disbelief. "Yanran, you... how can you be so bold? You actually killed the palace maid so blatantly in the palace? If others find out about this, will your reputation be lost?"

Liu Yanran replied disapprovingly: "Aunt, that palace maid saw my embarrassing side. It is impossible for me to survive and let her ruin my reputation. Only a dead person will not tell what happened to me..." "If my aunt really feels sorry for me, you'd better send someone to get rid of the body of that palace maid as soon as possible."

Concubine Shu was extremely frightened. She never thought that this niece could be so cruel and ruthless. In the past, she only heard that Yanran's side was often replaced by maids, but now she only felt that it was terrifying to think about it. I'm afraid those maids who were replaced in the past were too big. Was it all handled secretly by her niece? Concubine Shu couldn't help feeling frightened. This matter was too important and she couldn't handle it at all. She ordered the palace servants to inform her brother Liu Hanshan. Concubine Shu asked Liu Yanran to stay Don't go anywhere here. Liu Yanran pursed her lips and nodded slowly. Her eyes were always fixed on Yun Luan... Concubine Shu left the banquet and met Liu Hanshan. She put Liu Hanshan in front of her. Yanran told Liu Hanshan everything about killing a palace maid. Unexpectedly, Liu Hanshan was not surprised when he learned about it. He just replied lightly: "I know, this is I will handle the matter properly."

Within a quarter of an hour, the body of the palace maid was neatly disposed of. A human life was lost quietly in the blink of an eye. Concubine Shu shook her hands and grabbed Liu Hanshan's sleeves: "Brother, Yanran is like this Don’t you feel terrible about the blatant disregard of human life?”

Liu Hanshan's eyes flickered, and he smiled softly and looked at Concubine Shu: "Terrible? I don't think so. I am very happy that Yanran can have the courage of a man without being poisonous or a husband. Those who achieve great things cannot be women. Human kindness..." "Sister, don't worry about this matter. Let Yanran come out later, and I will take her to see Prince Rui. There are some things that I want to have a good talk with Prince Rui."

Concubine Shu's face turned pale, and she looked at Liu Hanshan in disbelief. "Brother Prince Rui, when did you have contact with Prince Rui? Haven't our Liu family always not participated in the party disputes of those princes?"

Liu Hanshan chuckled, with a hint of ambition flashing in his eyes. "Sister, do you know? The Liu family has reached its peak in my generation. If we want to break through and achieve higher glory and glory, We have to find another way. When I sent you to the palace, I thought you could give birth to a prince. When the time comes, we will support your child and ascend to the supreme position. Who knows, you have been in the palace for twenty years and you have not given birth to a child. We, the Liu family, have no one to rely on, so we naturally have to find another way out..." "Prince Rui is the most favored among these princes, and the one most likely to ascend to the position of crown prince. Therefore, several members of the family and I After some discussion with the cousins, we plan to marry Prince Rui and board his ship..." Concubine Shu was frightened. She covered her mouth in astonishment and looked at Liu Hanshan blankly. "Brother. ,The Liu family wants to cooperate with Prince Rui? Do you want to marry Yanran to Prince Rui?"

Liu Hanshan's eyes flashed a bit darkly, and he said noncommittally: "With Yanran's status, even if she cannot become King Rui's main concubine, she can still become his side concubine. Yanran is the most talented woman in Kyoto and has been famous for a long time. , any man will fall under her pomegranate skirt."

Concubine Shu stopped talking and said: "But, brother, you don't know that the person Yanran likes is King Yan. In the past few days, she has made the Liu family's chickens and dogs restless, and they have threatened her to death. She wants to marry King Yan even if she dies. She is like this Be decisive and risk everything. If you let her know the truth, she will not obey your arrangements..." Liu Hanshan had something in his mind. He didn't want to talk to Concubine Shu, lest he leaked his plan: "You can just do this. Don't worry about it, keep it secret for now. Between you and Concubine Zhao, don't go against her, don't compete with her for favor. From now on, our Liu family and King Rui will both suffer and prosper, so you have to help Concubine Zhao more. yes."
