Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“Why did you say that? We’re family.” She and Li Xiao were husband and wife. Wasn’t Li Xiao’s responsibility also hers?
The corners of Li Wan’s mouth curled up.
“Yes!” She nodded seriously. She once again affirmed this sister-in-law.
Lin Xiaoyue gave them some instructions before letting them leave.
Li Wan stayed.
Seeing Li Wan’s hesitant expression, she spoke after Head Fang left.
“Is there anything else?”
“Yes.” Li Wan struggled to speak, but she nodded.
“Sit down.” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.
Li Wan returned to her chair and sat down.
She lowered her head and hesitated, but she still did not speak.
“If you have something to say, just say it.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled again. She actually had some guesses in her heart.
Li Wan raised her head.
“What is the situation in the palace now?” She asked Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.
“Actually, you want to ask about the emperor’s situation, right?” He then said.
Li Wan’s expression froze, and she averted her gaze. It was considered an admission.
Lin Xiaoyue sighed in her heart.
Li Xiao had told her about her sister.
When she entered the palace, she was forced.
However, after entering the palace, she had feelings for Emperor Yan.
This love might not be strong enough. Even after the Nangong Family suffered, it had probably turned into hatred.
However, her sister had given birth to Emperor Yan’s child. It was also a fact that she had been moved back then.
Now, she naturally couldn’t be completely unconcerned.
“The emperor consumed the Life Essence Pill more than a month ago. This pill harms one’s lifespan and is addictive.”
“When grandfather found out, the Emperor’s lifespan had already been severely reduced. He said that his lifespan was reduced by at least ten years. And he’s already addicted.”
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Li Wan worriedly.
Li Wan’s expression was complicated, but she didn’t show any pain.
Ten years of his lifespan was considered retribution…
“After that, grandfather asked the Emperor to quit his drug addiction. In the end-”
Li Wan looked at Lin Xiaoyue with a questioning expression, but she did not urge her.
“In the end, the Emperor was poisoned.”
Li Wan’s expression changed slightly.
“Now, the Emperor is in a critical situation. Grandfather’s diagnosis was that if he could endure the pain of half a month of withdrawal and completely remove the medicinal properties of the Life Essence Pill, he could at most have another half a year of life. However, if he can’t endure the pain of withdrawal, then…” At this point, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Li Wan with worry.
She actually had some hatred for Emperor Yan because of Li Xiao and her mother.
Therefore, when she heard this news, she was secretly happy.
She felt that Emperor Yan deserved it.
But now, she was a little worried about Li Wan.
Li Wan smiled.
“This is fate. He has committed too many sins. The heavens can’t stand it anymore and are determined to take him in.” She said with some hatred.
This was good too. It was good to die.
If he was dead, she would not be so conflicted.
As for the fact that the heavens wanted to take Emperor Yan in.
No matter who did it, she didn’t want to know. He thought that the heavens were helping him.
With that, Li Wan stood up from her chair.
“I still have a lot of things to do. I’ll be leaving first.” Without waiting for Lin Xiaoyue’s reply, Li Wan hurried towards the door.
Lin Xiaoyue stretched out her hand and finally let Li Wan go out.
After leaving the house, Li Wan quickly rushed back to her own courtyard, her heart completely blank…
An hour later, Xiao Yang returned.
After Xiao Yang left Lin Xiaoyue’s study, the Liu residence quickly became busy.
A tense atmosphere filled the air above the Liu residence.
That night, in Dashi Village.
After dinner, Lin Xiaoyue personally sent Liu Shi back to her room and stayed there.
“Go back and rest. Why are you staying here?” Liu Shi saw her daughter’s hesitant face and refused to move, so she asked her daughter.
Lin Xiaoyue finally looked at Liu Shi again.
“Mother, I’m afraid that Li Xiao and I will have to leave Qingshi Town for a while.” He said.
Liu Shi was stunned and a hint of panic flashed across her face.
However, she quickly calmed down.
“Why are you leaving this time? When will you be back?” Then, she pulled her daughter’s hand and asked nervously.
“Mother…” Lin Xiaoyue’s expression was surprised. She surprised that their mother had agreed to let them go.
Liu Shi lowered her eyes.
She patted the back of Lin Xiaoyue’s hand.
“Your grandfather said that the two of you will do great things together. When this is done, our family will never have to be separated again. He can also come back and reunite with us.”
“I am just a country woman. I can’t help you. All 1 can do is wait for you at home..”
