But in the end, it did not end well.
Gongsun Muyun, the youngest son of the Gongsun family. Wealthy, handsome, and talented, he was the dream lover of many ladies in the capital. Although he did not die during this assassination attempt, he was severely injured. More tragically, he lost his memory after waking up. In the end, due to the severity of his injuries, he was bedridden for the rest of his life, breaking the hearts of many women in the capital.
The capital's morning air was exceptionally fresh. As people setting up their stalls finished, they saw a tall white horse carrying a beautiful woman in red galloping past Zhuque Street, truly a vision of resplendent attire and spirited steed, dazzling the entire Zhuque Avenue.
Ming Li rode her horse all the way to the Prime Minister's mansion. The gatekeeper of the Prime Minister's mansion was just opening the main gate when he looked up and saw a woman in red standing at the entrance, holding a white horse.
This gatekeeper was an old hand at the Prime Minister's mansion, so he had seen Bai Ming Li before. Looking at the woman before him, the gatekeeper found her increasingly familiar. Suddenly, he remembered that the woman before him was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion who had been missing for two years. He quickly stepped forward to take Ming Li's horse.
As soon as Ming Li entered the Prime Minister's mansion, someone was sent to inform the Prime Minister. Therefore, by the time Ming Li reached the front courtyard, she met the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's wife.
Ming Li: ...
The System mischievously gloated.
The Prime Minister's wife rushed to hug Ming Li as soon as she saw her, crying tears of joy: "My Li'er, where have you been for the past two years? You scared me to death! It's all your father's fault! Look how thin you've become!"
The Prime Minister, who had been unjustly implicated: ...?!
The Prime Minister coughed twice, pretending to clear his throat, and said to Ming Li: "Alright, now that you're back, hurry and tidy yourself up, then come for dinner."
Ming Li nodded and walked into the mansion.
After Ming Li had walked away, the Prime Minister's wife threw herself into the Prime Minister's arms: "My dear Prime Minister, don't you think our Li'er has changed? She used to be the clingiest to me, but now she's become so cold and distant."
The Prime Minister listened thoughtfully.
When Ming Li arrived at the original owner's courtyard, the courtyard itself clearly showed the Prime Minister's affection for his daughter. Everything in the courtyard was of the finest quality. Peach trees were planted on the west side, with a swing hung from one of them; on the east side was a small kitchen, specifically for the original owner to make pastries.
The people in the courtyard saw Ming Li and quickly put down what they were holding to bow to her.
Ming Li: "En, prepare the water. I want to bathe."
When Ming Li reappeared before the Prime Minister's wife, she was still in a red dress, radiant and captivating.
Ming Li did not see the Prime Minister, so she asked the Prime Minister's wife, "Mother, where is Father?"
The Prime Minister's wife replied, "Your father has gone to court. Come, Li'er, you must be hungry! Sit down and eat."
Near noon, the Prime Minister returned, but he sighed continuously as soon as he arrived.
Ming Li: ... If she remembered correctly, this was around the time in the original script when the Northern Li Kingdom attacked. At this time, the Great An Kingdom was not well-suited for war. The male protagonist, who was still a prince then, stepped forward and said he was willing to lead the troops to battle. The Emperor agreed, and the male protagonist eventually won, but at a great cost. Later, the Northern Li Kingdom proposed a marriage alliance, which the Emperor of Great An agreed to. Then, the female protagonist, Su Ziyuan, became the princess in the marriage alliance and married the male protagonist, Nangong Jin. However, the male protagonist did not like the female protagonist at first, and he even turned a blind eye to the mistreatment she received from the maids and servants in his household.
