Lan Lingier wiggled her hands. Luckily, they didn’t tie her too tightly, and after some effort, she freed herself. With luck on her side, she thought to compose a poem!
(Dr. Chen anxiously advised: “Hurry and escape! It’s a matter of life and death, and you’re still in the mood to write a poem!” Lan Lingier replied, “Shut up! Do you want to hear it or not? Continue listening!”)
“Hmm! Hmm!” Lan Lingier cleared her throat and began: “I connect with the moon, years near death; ancient people know not hatred, later generations shall weep!”
“Chen Zhisheng asked confusedly: What does this poem mean? I don’t understand! Lan Lingier laughed and replied: This is the true meaning of the poem! The less you understand, the more profound my knowledge is! If you all understand it at once, how can I prepare to be a poet? Lingier then revealed: Actually, I don’t know what this poem means either!
Lan Lingier tiptoed past a dog that had passed out. Lingier explained: The dog wasn’t killed by this young lady, just knocked out.
“The Crown Prince has been acting strange lately, always going to the Yuqiong Pavilion! If the Emperor and Empress find out, we servants would be in trouble!” a handsome young servant said helplessly.
Lan Lingier hurriedly hid, secretly listening to their conversation.
“Then we’d be in an even worse situation! General Han might survive, but we can only lose our heads!” the sarcastic old man spoke up.
Lan Lingier covered her mouth, trying to stifle her laughter.
“But we all know the Crown Prince’s temper! That Hua Wangwu has almost driven the Crown Prince crazy!” Han Xin sighed, breaking a branch angrily.
“Yes! But what good method does the General have to change the Crown Prince’s mind?”
The Crown Prince is now second only to the Emperor. If anything goes wrong, we can’t atone for it! That Hua Wangwu’s seductive skills are too high; the Crown Prince can’t possibly break free!” The eunuch looked anxious, facing a major issue.
Lan Lingier kicked open the Crown Prince’s door. “What are you doing?” he shouted, quickly covering his naked body.
“Put on your clothes!” Lan Lingier exclaimed, turning around, her face flushed. “Why do I always see people’s naked bodies? How embarrassing!”
