Quick Wear: Under the Skirt, All Beings Are Equal

Chapter 430: The Traitor: Bright Moon, Drinking Alone in the Autumn

Someone soon came to report to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"My lord, the sixteenth princess is missing."

Tang Ran's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, leaving a black dot under the paper in an instant. He put down the pen, and went into the palace at night with a cold face.

Not to mention that the palace was in chaos. Even if there wasn't any chaos, no one would dare to stop Tang Ran even if he entered the palace in the middle of the night.

Not to mention, the emperor had specifically ordered that he didn't have to abide by the palace restrictions.

Tang Ran's face was calm, but the frightening aura made people's scalps tingle. The guards only took a quick look and hurriedly lowered their heads to open the door, fearing that they would offend this killer.

The ever-burning lamp in the sky fell into the layers of clouds. The mist flowing around it was like the light ink marks from a poet's pen, as if the moonlight was stirred into gauze. As the bright moon slowly emerged, the ground was covered with clear and transparent silver light.

The atmosphere in the palace at this time was so depressing that it was suffocating. Even the sleeping old emperor sat there with a sullen face.

He closed his eyes silently, thinking about the way the soft and cuddly little Sixteen called him "Daddy" yesterday. He also suddenly remembered his many children, who were just like him now.

He was already so cautious, but someone still had his eyes on Xiao Shiliu.

The old emperor felt very bitter and wished he could cut those who harmed his children into pieces.

From dusk to midnight, such a long time had passed and Li Changan had not been found yet. The old emperor's hope became increasingly slim, and in the end he could only pray for mercy from the gods.

Tang Ran had just arrived when she heard someone say, "Found it."

Seeing the eunuch hesitating, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.

The emperor kicked the eunuch in the chest and said, "You little slave, what happened to the princess?"

The young eunuch did not care about his injuries and quickly got up and knelt on the ground, crying, "The servants found the Sixteenth Princess in Taiqing Pond. Princess, the princess has drowned."

The old emperor was so angry that he was shaking. He went straight to Taiqing Pool. From a distance, he saw a large group of servants, all of them covering their faces and crying.

Seeing the emperor coming, they knelt down in a rush. The emperor also saw the dark mass in the water clearly. He held the lamp in his own hands, and when he saw it clearly, the blood that was stuck in his throat spurted out instantly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Li Zhong and the Queen immediately supported the old emperor.

The emperor's eyes were moist and he kept calling the Sixteenth Princess's name. Although he had been ill for many years, the Queen and Li Zhong could not stop the old emperor at this time.

The old emperor stumbled and stretched out his hand, trying to pick up the sixteenth princess: "Chang'an, Chang'an, my Chang'an."

Clearly yesterday he was still hoping that his daughter would be safe and live a long life, but today he saw his daughter die in front of him, with her eyes wide open, as if saying, "Father, little Sixteen will die with her eyes open."

The old emperor spat out another mouthful of blood and almost fell headfirst into the pool.

Before passing out, he glanced at Tang Ran, reached out and grabbed Tang Ran's hand tightly.

Help Xiao Shiliu to get revenge.

This was the old emperor's last thought. Tang Ran nodded silently. Even after the others sent the emperor back, Tang Ran's eyes were always on the lantern by the water. The lantern had been broken and looked like someone had stepped on it.

"Little Sixteen, why are you so cold? Let me warm you up." Li Jinyu hugged the little princess's cold body tightly and pressed her face against hers, trying to transfer her body temperature to her.

Big tears fell from her eyes, and she raised her hand to wipe them away.

But the tears could not be wiped away, so Li Jinyu simply stopped wiping them and held the little person tightly in her arms.

Her sixteenth sister was still full of life during the day, feeding herself cakes with a smile on her face, but how come she was lying in this cold water after just a short while?

Li Limu was pale and was supported by Chun Chao. When she saw the body of the Sixteenth Princess just now, she staggered and almost fell. It was Chun Chao who supported her.

Li Limu's eyes were empty, like a beautiful corpse. She slowly walked towards Li Jinyu and stretched out her hand to touch the little princess' pale face. When she was about to touch it, she suddenly pulled back.

How could their little sister die?

She thought that if she and Li Jinyu died, their little sister would live a long life.

Thinking of this, Li Limu's nose felt sore.

"Touch it if you want. You won't be able to touch it again in the future." Li Jinyu's voice was calm, and he lowered his eyes to look at the pale little face.

Seeing that Li Limu didn't dare to touch her, she reached out and grabbed Li Limu's hand and touched the little princess's face.

Li Limu's hands kept shaking. She felt that the little princess was as cold as ice. The coldness spread from her fingertips to her whole body in an instant, making her heart seem as if a thick layer of ice had formed.

But she couldn't bear to let go. Just as Li Jinyu said, she would never be able to touch it again even if she wanted to.

No one would sweetly call her Sister Li Mu anymore. He carefully took out the cakes from his arms, staring at her with sparkling eyes, "Sister, these are cakes from Concubine Li's small kitchen. I brought them specially for you."

She would smile and pretend to twist her ears, saying, "Next time, don't put such hot pastries in your arms. If you get burned, I will be heartbroken."

Li Limu's health is not as good as Li Jinyu's, so she usually rests. Although she does not spend as much time with the Sixteenth Princess as others, her love for her sister is no less than that of Li Jinyu and Li Wenqing.

Li Wenqing came over and saw that the two people's faces were as pale as ghosts, so he asked Sang'er and Chun Chao to forcibly take them away. Seeing that they were unwilling, he said, "Sisters, don't you think Xiao Shiliu will be at peace when he leaves?"

She slowed down for a moment, her voice still choking with sobs: "Little Sixteen is gone. If you want to see her off, you must take good care of yourselves and don't let your body collapse."

These words touched the two of them, and they had to leave with tears in their eyes.

Li Wenqing looked at Tang Ran who was holding the rabbit lantern and said softly, "Prime Minister, I don't know when you and Xiao Shiliu met, but Xiao Shiliu has always liked this lantern."

Not only did Li Jinyu remind her, but she also reminded her that she didn't want Xiao Shiliu to get too close to Tang Ran.

But Xiao Shiliu just likes Tang Ran.

I just love playing with Tang Ran, and I feel that Tang Ran is not the bad person that the sisters say she is.

Li Wenqing wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.

She has seen many brothers and sisters die over the years, but she has been peaceful for several years. She didn't expect that the other party would attack the youngest princess.

"Mr. Prime Minister, you know who harmed Little Sixteen, right?"
