The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Chapter 522 Sending her to the Prince's Mansion (1)

An Mi's eyes narrowed. "You... you've switched the bodies!"

Ha! That's really a good idea!

An Mi's lips curled into a slight smile, while Granny Li became even more smug. "You're not stupid after all. Not bad, a switcheroo. Your Prince of Bohai is marrying the Princess of Bohai, but do you know who this Princess of Bohai is?"

An Mi frowned and remained silent, but Granny Li, regardless of whether An Mi was interested in knowing, insisted on telling her, "Hmph, let me tell you, from now on, the Princess Consort of Bohai will have to call me 'Auntie,' hahaha..."

An Mi was taken aback. So that's how it is... Ah! No wonder Granny Li was so excited, acting like her whole family was about to be promoted.

"Do you think the King of Bohai is so easily fooled?" An Mi chuckled, finding the woman before her increasingly repulsive.

Granny Li's expression changed, but in an instant, she regained her previous smugness. "Miss Anmi, you don't need to worry about that, because no matter what, you won't be able to see it!"

At this point, Granny Li's eyes narrowed, and a sinister look suddenly appeared on her face. "Guards! The Empress Dowager ordered that she be killed!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the dozen or so guards all rushed towards An Mi. Granny Li had already retreated to the side. She wanted to watch An Mi carefully as she walked towards her death!

Hmph, An Mi, she's just a woman from a small place, yet she wants to marry into the royal family. How can a crow become a phoenix?

That's truly a pipe dream.

"Do it!" Granny Li urged sharply, not allowing An Mi to live another moment in this world. Only by making An Mi disappear from this world completely could her niece have a better chance of securing the position of Princess of Bohai, right?

Upon hearing Li Mama's command, one of the guards raised his sword high, seemingly about to strike An Mi. But just as the sword was about to touch An Mi, the guard froze, and in the next instant, he collapsed to the ground with a thud. The sudden turn of events startled the other guards, but before they could react, one after another, their bodies trembled and they fell to the ground.

In the empty courtyard, only An Mi and Granny Li remained once again. An Mi was overjoyed, but Granny Li's expression had already changed.

“You…” How could this be? Granny Li rushed forward and looked at the guard lying on the ground. There was no sign of injury. She checked his breath, but there was no breath at all. Granny Li trembled. Fear overwhelmed her. What happened?

Who is behind this?!

Granny Li glared at An Mi, then her eyes narrowed as she remembered the Empress Dowager's instructions to her. The Empress Dowager had ordered that An Mi must not live, so she had to complete the mission!

Taking a deep breath, Granny Li suppressed her fear, picked up the knife from the ground, and stabbed at An Mi. But before the tip of the knife could touch An Mi's body, she felt a chill on her neck. A cold sword was right there, poised to sever her carotid artery.

Granny Li froze, not daring to make the slightest movement. An Mi, however, was startled when she saw who it was—it was him!

"Spare...spare my life..." Granny Li trembled all over, and the knife in her hand was too weak to support her. With a thud, it fell to the ground. Granny Li tried to turn around to see who was behind her, but as soon as she made a move, An Mi saw through her intention.

“Granny Li, if I were you, I would stand here and not move. If you move, you might accidentally touch a sharp sword. After all, swords have no eyes, don’t they?” An Mi’s lips curled into a cold smile, subconsciously not wanting Granny Li to see Qing Lan!

Terrified, Granny Li dared not move again. She quickly abandoned the idea and stood still, only pleading repeatedly, "Miss Anmi, please spare my life, spare this servant..."

An Mi lowered her brows, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. "The knife isn't in my hands, so I can't make that decision!"

As soon as she finished speaking, An Mi met Qing Lan's dark eyes. Qing Lan understood what was happening, her eyes turned cold, and with a flick of her wrist, the sharp sword in her hand pierced through the flesh, cutting right into the carotid artery in Li Mama's neck. Instantly, blood gushed out...

"Ah...you..." Granny Li's eyes widened, filled with pain and resentment, as she looked at An Mi before collapsing to the ground.

She glanced indifferently at Li Mama's corpse on the ground, her eyes calm. Li Mama could not be allowed to live. If she didn't die, she would relentlessly try to kill her!

Is it cruel? She is Anmi, and she has never been a kind-hearted person, has she?

"How could it be you?" An Mi concealed the coldness in her eyes, and when she met Qing Lan's eyes, a hint of warmth appeared in them. She had always felt a sense of friendship towards Qing Lan, a friendship that she could never sever.

Qinglan looked at Anmi in her bright red wedding dress. Today, she was breathtakingly beautiful. He had seen her like this more than once in his dreams, wearing a bright red wedding dress, standing in front of him, and he was dressed as the groom. They pledged their lives to each other and got married.

Today, she is not an illusion from a dream, but so real that you can reach out and touch her tangibly. But... thinking of Bai Yi, the woman in the wedding dress before him is for someone else.

“Mi’er…” Qinglan’s eyes narrowed, and she called softly, a thought popping into her mind, “We…”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qinglan suddenly stopped. Just now, he had an impulse to leave with Anmi, but when he thought about the current situation and the agreement with Bai Yi that night, he finally regained some of his rationality.

He couldn't take her away. Even if he was fearless, he still couldn't take Anmi away like this!

He knew that even if he took her away, it would be pointless. If he didn't swim upstream in this abyss of power, even if he didn't fight for it, even if he gave up, the Empress wouldn't tolerate him and would definitely hunt him down with all her might. And Bai Yi…

Qinglan's eyes narrowed, and then a bitter look appeared in them. Bai Yi probably wouldn't let him off the hook either!

Even if he chases him to the ends of the earth, his third brother will relentlessly pursue him!

Taking a deep breath, Qinglan's eyes darkened, and when she met Anmi's eyes again, a smile appeared on her lips. "Let's go, this place is not safe to stay!"

An Mi glanced at the guards lying on the ground, her brow furrowing. Qing Lan seemed to see through her thoughts, her eyes narrowing slightly. "They've just fainted!"

None of his guards had killed her, except for this Granny Li…

An Mi twitched the corner of her mouth, knowing in her heart that even if she didn't kill them, so what?

If the Empress Dowager discovers that Granny Li is dead here and has disappeared, she will surely blame her, and the lives of these guards will likely be in danger as well!

As for Granny Li… An Mi glanced at the corpse on the ground. In this palace, how many innocent souls had Granny Li’s hands stained? Today, she had no reason to pity her for dying here.
