You Must Have Saved the World in Your Last Life

Li Zan took a small blood pouch from his mouth and nodded in satisfaction. "Got her blood so easily! Not bad, not bad!"

As he spoke, he wanted to pat the little cutie's head in praise.

Evan Xiao darted aside, his gaze cold and fierce as he stared at him.

"Uh... Sorry, Your Highness. You look so adorable when you’re small like this, I just can’t help it! Haha!" Li Zan suppressed his itching urge to pet him. "So, are you coming with me now, or heading back?"

Evan Xiao turned his head and transformed into a streak of black light, flying from the Zhu residence straight back to the Forget-Worry Pavilion.

"Gone again!" Li Zan shook his head. "Grace Zhu, you must've saved the whole world in your last life! Our Crown Prince is actually acting as your spirit pet..."

Grace and the guards searched for a long time, but couldn’t find the little cutie. Crestfallen, they returned to Lena’s side.

Everyone was gathered there.

Lena was clutching her wrist, the bleeding already stopped.

Queenie Zhu stood there with her head hanging low, while Minghan Zhu questioned her sternly, "Speak! Why did you let the spotted leopard attack Lady Lan?"

"Uncle, I really don’t know why it suddenly went crazy," Queenie Zhu said. "Maybe… maybe Lady Lan was wearing something today that attracts spirit beasts to attack? Otherwise, why would both the spotted leopard and that antlered snake go after her?"

"Something that attracts spirit beasts? What is that? I’ve never heard of it," Lena asked.

"I... I don’t know either..." Queenie mumbled.

Minghan Zhu took a deep breath and turned to Grace. "Grace, did you find your antlered snake?"

Grace shook her head.

"What exactly happened? Why did it suddenly come out and bite someone?"

Grace shook her head again. "It hasn’t shown up for days. I have no idea why it suddenly came out and bit someone."

She truly didn’t know.

Minghan Zhu asked a bunch of questions but got nowhere, so he finally said to Lena, "Maybe you really are wearing something that attracts spirit beasts. Go home and check carefully, and change your clothes."

Lena could only leave, feeling frustrated.

As soon as she entered the room, she swept her sleeve and knocked a bunch of things to the floor.

"Madam! Madam, watch your hand!" Willow urged from the side. "Please sit down, let me bandage you!"

Lena took a deep breath, sat down, and let Willow bandage her up.

Once she was bandaged, Willow said, "Madam, you should change your clothes right away! Maybe there really is something unclean on you..."

Lena waved her hand dismissively, but asked, "Did she eat the snow ginseng we sent to Mingyu Pavilion?"

To her, the real humiliation wasn’t those two beasts.

It was... today, seeing the Prime Minister and Lian’er sitting together—it felt like a slap right across her face.

So what if she was Lady Lan?

The woman by the Prime Minister’s side was still her!

She, Lena... was still just a concubine!

Even if she’d been named Lady Lan, she still wasn’t qualified to sit beside the Prime Minister!

"No idea." Seeing her gloomy face, Willow replied nervously, "Mingyu Pavilion is tightly controlled by Xue Ying. Even when we finally managed to get someone in, they couldn’t get close! We couldn’t find out anything."

"Xue Ying... she really is capable!" Lena’s face showed a murderous look. Then she lowered her eyes to her clothes. "I remember, this dress was one of the gifts sent from Mingyu Pavilion, wasn’t it?"
