Chapter 268 Mu 3's Proposal
Jian Hun finally came to his senses. He let go of Li Xuemei's waist and said helplessly, "Miss Li! I am sorry for offending you!"
"It's okay!" Li Xuelan waved her hands quickly. "If it wasn't for Brother Sword Spirit who came to my rescue, I would have already..."
"Ms. Li, you're too polite! This is what I should do!" Sword Soul said quickly.
"By the way, Brother Jianhun, what are you doing here?" Li Xuelan asked curiously.
"I am here to protect you and your sisters on the orders of the Dark Moon Pavilion Master!" Sword Spirit replied respectfully.
"Oh? I see! That's great! We feel much more at ease with Brother Sword Soul around!" Li Xuelan said happily.
"Don't worry, Miss Li. As long as I am here, I will never let anyone hurt you!" Sword Spirit said firmly.
"Thank you very much, Brother Jianhun!" Li Xuelan said gratefully.
When Jian Hun saw Chu Chengli enter the house, he turned to look at Li Xuelan and said, "Miss Li, I will take you back home now!"
Li Xuelan was in an extremely heavy mood at this time. She looked at Jianhun sadly, tears sliding down her cheeks, and her voice was filled with despair and helplessness: "Brother Jianhun, what should we do?"
Sword Soul sighed silently. He also heard the conversation between the Crown Prince and the Queen and knew that the current situation was very difficult. He watched Li Xuelan's silent tears flow. Her tearful appearance made people feel pity. However, facing such a dilemma, he also felt at a loss as to where to start.
He tried to comfort Li Xuelan, but he didn't know what to say to relieve her pain. After a moment of silence, he finally came up with an idea and said to Li Xuelan: "Why don't you go to your sister tonight, and I will bring Mr. Mu here as soon as possible. Maybe he can give us some advice and find a solution to the problem."
Li Xuelan nodded, knowing that she could only rely on others' help to find a way out. She wiped her tears, hoping that Brother Sword Soul could give them a glimmer of hope.
After saying that, the Sword Spirit stared at Li Xuelan's pretty face quietly, exhaled lightly, and said softly: "Miss Li, please follow me, I will escort you to your sister's bedroom. Please forgive me if I have offended you!"
The sword spirit carefully held up Li Xuelan's slender waist, jumped lightly, and cleverly avoided the patrolling guards of the East Palace. In just a few jumps, they sneaked into Li Xuemei's bedroom as quietly as a flying bird.
Jian Hun saw a woman who looked exactly like Li Xuelan. He whispered to Li Xuelan calmly, "Take advantage of this opportunity. Chu Chengli is too busy to take care of you. You and your sister should take the time to have a good talk. I will come again at night." After that, he flashed and disappeared into the night.
As she watched the Sword Spirit walk away, Li Xuelan's heart was filled with a warm ripple. She had never expected that Dark Moon Fairy would actually send people to protect the two sisters. She would definitely keep this deep friendship in her heart.
Li Xuemei's eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief: "Sister, who is this man? Don't you know that Chu Chengli is not a kind person? If he finds out that you brought a strange man to the East Palace, all of us will face a catastrophe!"
Li Xuelan frowned and explained, "Sister, don't worry. His name is Jianhun, he is from the Dark Moon Pavilion, and he was sent by the Dark Moon Fairy to protect us!"
Li Xuemei still asked worriedly: "Didn't you go to visit the prince's injuries today? Why did he escort you back in the end?"
Li Xuelan's tears immediately welled up in her eyes, and she sobbed and replied, "Sister, the Queen and the Crown Prince have discussed that if one of us gets pregnant and gives birth to a child, their biological mother will be executed, leaving only the child, and will be raised by Li Jingshu!"
Li Xuemei was stunned after hearing this, and said with trembling lips: "The prince is so cruel! In the eyes of the queen, with our backgrounds, we are not worthy of occupying the position of concubine! It is not surprising that they made such a decision..."
Li Xuelan cried sadly, "What should we do? Chu Chengli is cruel and ruthless, and the people of the Li family are insidious and cunning, and their methods are extremely cruel! We sisters have no way to survive!" Her tears continued to flow, and her heart was filled with despair and fear.
Seeing her sister so sad, Li Xuemei felt very distressed. She held Li Xuelan's hand tightly and said, "Sister, don't be afraid! We can definitely find a way." Her eyes were firm and brave, but tears were welling up in her eyes.
Li Xuelan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with gritted teeth: "But...but what should we do? The devil Chu Chengli will definitely find ways to torture us!" Her voice was full of helplessness and anger.
After a moment's silence, Li Xuemei suddenly raised her head with a determined look in her eyes: "Or... our sister and I will drink the sterilization soup and never give birth to a son or a daughter in our lifetime! In this way, they won't be able to use our children to threaten us!" Her tone was firm, as if she had made up her mind.
Li Xuelan stared at Li Xuemei with wide eyes, and was speechless for a moment. A complex emotion surged in her heart, with shock at her sister's proposal and worry about the future.
After a while, Li Xuelan slowly came back to her senses. She took a deep breath, tears glistening in her eyes, and said softly: "Okay... okay, maybe this is the only way out. But how can we get the sterilizing soup?" Her eyes were full of determination, as if she had already prepared for the worst.
Li Xuemei pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that there is a secret medicine in the palace that can make people sterile. As long as we find a way to find this secret medicine, we can solve the problem. But this matter must be done very secretly and must not be discovered by anyone. Otherwise, our situation will be even more dangerous."
Li Xuelan nodded in agreement. They began to discuss the specific plan and look for the right time to get the sterilizing soup. Although this decision was extremely difficult for them, they understood that if they wanted to protect themselves, this might be the only choice.
As night fell, the moon was dark and the wind was strong. Jian Hun carefully led Mu San through many checkpoints and guards, avoiding the strict surveillance of the East Palace, and finally arrived at Li Xuemei's bedroom.
At this moment, the Li sisters had already carefully prepared delicious food and wine, and were eagerly waiting. When they saw Mu San and Jian Hun stepping into the bedroom, a trace of joy flashed in their eyes. They quickly stood up, saluted to the two, and whispered, "Mr. Mu! Brother Jian Hun!"
Mu San couldn't help being shocked by the scene in front of him, and a sense of amazement surged in his heart. He secretly sighed that the Pavilion Master really had a discerning eye and a first-class eye for selecting people! The beauty of these two women can be described as stunning, making people unforgettable.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder Crown Prince Chu Chengli was so fascinated by them, such looks were indeed irresistible.
