Coming out from Li Da’s house.

Lin Wanwan sat in a soft sedan chair covered in warm gauze. The bustling streets of Kyoto were filled with a lively and noisy atmosphere.

Suddenly, the crowd surged like a tide, and walked towards a tall and magnificent theater in an endless stream.

【System prompt: A handsome man has been detected.】

[Handsome man information:]

[Liu Yiruo, 18 years old, identity, the most famous and influential character in Liqingyuan]

[Task: Reward Liu Yiruo with 500 taels of silver]

Lin Wanwan was in the sedan chair. She opened the curtain and looked towards the theater. At this moment, the theater was full of people and even the aisles were crowded with spectators who were eagerly waiting.

"Let's go take a look at the theater over there?" Lin Wanwan said in a calm voice.

"Let's go to the theater over there." Qingqing said to the four sedan bearers.

The four sedan bearers immediately changed direction.

When they arrived at the theater, Lin Wanwan got off the sedan chair and, with four sedan bearers clearing the way, she entered the theater.

All I saw was the famous actor Liu Yiruo preparing to go on stage.

The women nearby exclaimed: "Boss Liu's reputation has already spread throughout the entire Kyoto city."

"Of course not. His handsome and extraordinary appearance, and his unique and sharp singing voice."

"The key is the script that changes every week."

At this moment, with the sudden sound of gongs and drums, Liu Yiruo walked onto the stage with light and steady steps.

He was dressed in a gorgeous costume, with fluttering sleeves, like an immortal descending from the earth. His face was handsome and profound, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a straight nose, and a slightly upturned corner of his mouth, with a hint of sarcasm.

Then he began to sing, and his clear and charming voice resounded throughout the theater:

"Today, let me tell you about a princess who failed an imperial examination in a certain dynasty!"

There was a sudden burst of laughter from the audience. The noble ladies either covered their faces and chuckled, or whispered to each other, but their eyes were shining with excitement.

A noble lady said in a sweet voice: "Tell me quickly, I'm very curious!"

"Princess? Still taking the imperial examination?"

"But have you met a good person?"

A noble lady said hurriedly: "My guess is that he will not pass the exam."

Liu Yiruo's eyes revealed a hint of contempt, and he waved the folding fan in his hand and continued to sing:

"This princess was so proud of her talent and knowledge, but she didn't expect to be defeated in the examination room!"

Another noble lady laughed and said, “Hahaha… I knew she didn’t have that ability!”

The actor raised his voice and said exaggeratedly: "She pretended to be serious and studied hard every day, thinking that she could pass the imperial examination, but what happened? She still failed!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, "What a joke!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone laughed mockingly.

Liu Yiruo was even more proud, dancing and singing: "Thinking of that princess, she usually pretended to be noble, but now she has ended up like this, it's really ridiculous!"

At this time, an old man couldn't help but stand up and said:

"It's really disrespectful to laugh at other people's failures like this!"

But his voice was soon drowned out by the laughter of the crowd. A noble lady said disdainfully:

"Old man, what do you know? This is just for fun!"

"That's it."

"If you can't listen, don't listen and get out now."

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Liu Yiruo became even more arrogant and said loudly:

"She thought she could fly up to the tree and become a phoenix, but she turned out to be a sparrow with broken wings!"

The audience in the audience was fascinated by the performance and burst into warm applause and cheers from time to time.

Some of the audience even stood up excitedly, waving their handkerchiefs and loudly echoing the actors' lyrics.

And those noble ladies, all with rosy faces, had eyes that revealed their admiration for Liu Yiruo and their disdain for the princess in the opera.

Lin Wanwan's face was as calm as water. She saw that the atmosphere in the audience had reached a climax, with laughter, shouts and applause intertwined together.

And Liu Yiruo seemed to be standing in the center of the ocean, controlling everything and enjoying the cheers and admiration of the crowd.

In this chaotic scene, Qingqing frowned tightly, with a flash of anger in her eyes: "Princess! Look..."

"Go back." Lin Wanwan said calmly with a deep look in her eyes.

Lin Wanwan returned to the East Courtyard of the Princess's Mansion and went straight into the room.

Qingqing pouted and walked to the side to make some tea.

In the room, Hua Yu saw Lin Wanwan coming back with her usual expression. Her expectant eyes were full of tenderness and love.

He hurried forward, took out a gift box from his arms and handed it to Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan raised her eyes and smiled calmly: "What is this?"

Hua Yu hurriedly opened the gift box, took out the cold perfume cream inside, and said softly: "Princess, this is the cold perfume cream I made for you personally, using the peony flowers I carefully selected."

When Lin Wanwan heard this, her heart was moved and she accepted this loving gift.

She opened the porcelain box, and a delicate scent of peony flowers filled her nose, very unique: "So, that day you went to the west courtyard and picked peony petals to make cold ointment?"

Hua Yu nodded slightly.

"Why didn't you tell me that day?"

Hua Yu said aggrievedly: "If the princess really wanted to drive Hua Yu away, why would she keep Hua Yu because of the cold fragrance ointment?"

Lin Wanwan raised her eyes and said with a smile, "I like it very much."

Hua Yu: "Does the princess really like the cold perfume?"

Lin Wanwan raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were slightly warm, and she smiled: "I like Hua Yu too."

Hua Yu's heart was beating fast, and she smiled happily: "Just this cold ointment, my mother made me practice for five years. These things bought outside can't compare to it."

"You've spent so much time learning this, to please your future wife?" Lin Wanwan leaned in and smelled the cold ointment again, smiling, "It's really useful."

Hua Yu said: "Hua Yu only knows how to please the princess."

……

The west courtyard of the Princess's Mansion.

A woman dressed in gorgeous clothes was negotiating in Wang Yinyi's room.

She wore several dazzling gold hairpins in her bun, with gemstones or pearls on the tips, which swayed gently as she cried: "Sister, please tell me, how did I die?"

Wang Yinyi's sister, Wang Yin'er, rushed over after hearing the news of Butler Wang's death.

Wang Yinyi covered her face and cried.

"Sister, what is going on?" Wang Yiner asked anxiously, with a hint of grief and anger in her eyes.

Wang Yinyi gritted her teeth and said viciously, "It was Lin Wanwan who killed him! That bitch beat him to death in the middle of the night!"

Wang Yiner's eyes suddenly became sinister, and she twisted her handkerchief tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"Big sister, we must not let her go! We must make her pay for what she did!"

As she spoke, she pulled out a bottle of poison from her bosom. The bottle flickered strangely in the dim light.

"Big sister, this is the poison I got from the underworld. It is colorless and tasteless. The poisoned person will not feel anything at first, but will die after a few days. There is no antidote!"

Wang Yiner's voice was cold and low.

Wang Yinyi looked at the bottle of poison, a trace of hesitation on her face: "The master said, for the time being..."

Seeing her hesitation, Wang Yin'er quickly moved closer and whispered, "Big sister, think about it. I am the only male in the Wang family, and now I have been murdered by Lin Wanwan. If we don't get rid of her, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in our hearts.

Who knows how much trouble that little bitch will cause in the future!

As long as she dies, no one will be able to threaten your position!"

Seeing that Wang Yinyi didn't speak, Wang Yiner's eyes flashed with madness and continued:

"Don't worry, big sister. This poison is so subtle that no one will suspect us. Big sister, you must make up your mind!"

Wang Yinyi's expression became more and more ferocious. She stared at the bottle of poison, as if she saw the scene of Lin Wanwan's painful death.

"Okay! I'll do as you say!" Wang Yinyi finally made up her mind and reached out to take the poison.

Wang Yin'er's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a triumphant smile: "I will stay for a few more days and find a chance to put this poison into Lin Wanwan's food. By then, she will be dead for sure!

Once Lin Wanwan dies, there will be no one in this mansion who can oppose you, elder sister. Then you can rest assured."

Wang Yiner's voice echoed in Wang Yinyi's mind. She showed a twisted smile and held the poison bottle tightly, as if she had seen Lin Wanwan struggling in pain.

"Hmph, you're right. That bitch dared to go against me. She should die! This is what will happen to her!" Wang Yinyi said gritting her teeth.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps outside the door.

The two people in the room were startled. They looked at each other, and Wang Yiner quickly hid the poison behind her.

"Who's outside?!" Wang Yiner shouted loudly.

After a moment, the maid Fen Tao walked in tremblingly.

"Madam,...I...I am here to bring tea to you." The maid Fen Tao lowered her head and said in a trembling voice.

Wang Yiner glared at the maid fiercely and shouted, "Can't you see we are discussing something? Get out!"

Fen Tao was so scared that she quickly retreated.

Wang Yinyi and Wang Yiner finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, we have to act as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble." Wang Yiner said in a low voice.

Wang Yinyi nodded, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes. "Okay, find a chance to put poison in her food."
