The Eldest Princess was amused by Li Xiaoran.
To be honest, she really didn’t have such a glib-tongued and witty junior around her.
This was the first time she had encountered someone like Li Xiaoran.
But honestly, she liked this intelligent girl quite a lot.
Most importantly, she could take a beating and tough things out at the critical moment.
She could act weak when she should and act tough when she should.
If her unfilial son married a commoner like Li Xiaoran, she wouldn’t object.
But the woman her son fancied was stupid and only knew how to sow discord between them.
Thinking of this, the Eldest Princess couldn’t help but envy the emperor.
Luo Cheng had never made the emperor worry about him, and he had become so outstanding on his own.
Now that he had married an equally outstanding wife, his future was full of potential
The Eldest Princess knew that among all the princes, Luo Cheng really had no ambitions for the throne.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the Eldest Princess was willing to get closer to the Seventh Prince.
At this moment, the Imperial Physician Dr. Liu had already brought the female doctor to examine the tea.
Before long, the Imperial Physician Dr. Liu came forward to reply. “Eldest Princess, I’ve already checked all the tea in the farmstead. All the tea has been drugged.”
This outcome was actually within their expectations.
“Mr. Jiao, have you arrested all the palace servants who handled the tea?”
Mr. Jiao nodded and reported, “There were a total of six palace servants in charge of tea today, and they’re all imprisoned now. The tea being provided now has been checked by the Imperial Physician Dr. Liu before it was sent over. This time, all the tea have been sent to three locations, and someone was sent to watch over each location. Whoever wants to drink tea can only go to those three locations!”
When the Eldest Princess heard this, she nodded in satisfaction.
“Good job. It’s better to be careful at this time!”
At this point, the Eldest Princess waved her hand to dismiss them and let them continue working.
The Imperial Physician Dr. Liu went to check the other food.
One could never be too careful.
If those behind the scenes also tampered with the food, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Since the Imperial Physician Dr. Liu had been sent here, he naturally had to take responsibility.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Li Xiaoran started thinking about Miss Lu.
“Girl, what are you thinking about?” The Eldest Princess noticed Li Xiaoran’s thoughtful expression and asked.
“I’m thinking about the connection between the two things. Why did they put anesthetic in the tea? Why did they hurt Miss Lu? It seems to be unrelated, but I keep feeling that there’s a connection between the two things!” Li Xiaoran told her what she thought truthfully.
“You’re still too inexperienced! There are some things that can’t be rushed! The other party’s goal will be revealed bit by bit. As people involved in the dangerous situation, we shouldn’t be anxious for others! We just have to wait! As for how to resolve it, we’ll take it one step at a time!” The Eldest Princess said calmly.
Seeing that the Eldest Princess wasn’t worried at all, Li Xiaoran asked curiously, “Do you think that we will get help?”
The Eldest Princess shook her head.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and asked, “Then do you already have a foolproof backup plan? Is there a way to deal with it no matter what happens?” The Eldest Princess shook her head.
“Eldest Princess, did you receive the news long ago, so you know that the other party won’t be able to cause much harm to us?” Li Xiaoran suggested another possibility.
However, the Eldest Princess shook her head again.
“Little girl, stop guessing! There are many things in this world that are out of our control. Even if we make foolproof preparations, there will be many unexpected incidents. The best way is to deal with changes by maintaining the status quo. Child, when there are many things in this world that you can’t control, don’t control them. Just let nature take its course! ”
When Li Xiaoran heard the Eldest Princess’s words, for some reason, she remembered something.
“Other people often say that one has to consider things in the long-term! But you and I are both mortals with limited intelligence and vision. How can we foresee the future? Can we plan ahead for decades or even a hundred years? The exciting thing about life is not that everything is under our control, but the unknown. Everything is unknown, so we don’t have to control it. We just have to keep moving forward!” The Eldest Princess said meaningfully.
“Aren’t you worried that we’ll all die here today?” Li Xiaoran asked.
“Of course I am! Everything in this world is dangerous. Even if you’re just walking on the ground, you might suddenly drop dead. So there is no such thing as complete safety! Relax and let nature take its course!” The Eldest Princess said with a smile.
When Li Xiaoran heard the Eldest Princess’s words, she began to reflect on them.
She had experienced many things since she transmigrated.
When did she start to change?
Didn’t she follow her husband, Luo Cheng, to the capital to counterattack those who bullied them?
But what had she done during this period of time?
She was getting jumpier and jumpier and wanted to control everything.
Deep down, she was prideful and also wanted other’s people approval.
Didn’t she come here to attend this banquet to teach those who schemed against her a lesson so that they wouldn’t dare to provoke her again?
However, when she realized that someone had poisoned the farmstead and the tea, she wanted to get everything under control and had the urge to investigate everything as quickly as possible, so that even if something happened, she could face it calmly.
However, from the beginning to the end, she didn’t realize that she had already lost her composure and was already flustered.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran shivered and immediately sobered up.
What was wrong with her?
It was as if she had been possessed.
Was she still herself?
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran looked up at the Eldest Princess gratefully.
This time, Li Xiaoran thanked the Eldest Princess sincerely.
“Thank you for your guidance!”
When the Eldest Princess saw that Li Xiaoran immediately understood, mirth appeared in her eyes.
“You’re very smart, thoughtful, and bold, but you’re too inexperienced.
Sometimes, it’s normal for you to go down the wrong path.”
At this point, the Eldest Princess looked at the girls in the distance.
“Those people are not worth it! Just be yourself! If anyone comes to provoke you, grab the other party’s sore spot and beat them until it hurts.. As long as they feel the pain, they won’t dare to provoke you anymore!”
