In the middle of the night, the howling cold wind swept through, bending the new shoots that had just emerged from the branches. The lights in Shou'an Palace were still brightly lit as usual, and the Queen Mother was not as energetic as an old man of her age.
Liu Man wore a dark night suit and a black mask, revealing only a pair of eyes that flickered, as if they could curse.
[2B system, is this the best plan you have worked out for me? 】
Liu Man carefully controlled her breathing rate and exhaled gently to avoid being noticed.
[Midnight, man in black, climbing over the wall, sneaking around. 】
[If this was discovered, people would misunderstand that I had an affair with the Queen Mother. I wouldn’t be able to wash it off even if I jumped into the Yellow River. 】
System: [Stop talking nonsense, there are no guards patrolling now, hurry in! 】
【Cut~】
Liu Man took two steps to run, using her feet hard, she climbed up the high wall of Shoukang Palace with just one push.
Liu Man was sitting on the wall, just eye-to-eye with the fat, fat orange cat that was walking leisurely over with cat steps.
"Hey, friend, are you worried about not going to bed so late?"
Daju meowed loudly, and was slapped on the head by this imprudent two-legged beast.
Seeing no one around, Liu Man squatted on the palace wall and slowly moved a few steps, sliding down quickly along the crooked neck tree in the corner.
System: [Coming! 】
Liu Man looked up and saw a slender figure wearing a cloak coming in from the side door of Shoukang Palace. The moonlight shone on her body, making the shadow very long. Coupled with her head full of steps and gold hairpins Chai is like a big moving chicken claw.
Following the chicken claw essence... ah, it was Concubine Shu who entered the Shoukang Palace. Liu Man quietly moved to a dark corner and affixed a wind-leafing charm sponsored by the system to herself.
The next second, the chirping of insects, the chirping of birds, the sound of the door squeaking, unknown moans, and the conversation between the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu all flowed into Liu Man's ears along with the ubiquitous wind.
Accepting too many different voices at once, Liu Man's brain shut down for a few seconds before she slowly regained consciousness and gathered her energy to distinguish the voices of the Queen Mother and Shu Bin.
"You did a good job this time. You finally lived up to the Ai family's expectations."
The Queen Mother's voice was low and hoarse, with several coughs interspersed between her words. For some reason these days, she couldn't keep up her energy, and she wasn't as energetic as before. It was only the middle of the night, and she couldn't hold on any longer.
Thinking back to a few months ago when Huaiyong was here, she was still full of energy during the fourth watch every night (1-3 o'clock).
"Everything was taught well by the Queen Mother, but..."
Shu Bin hesitated for a moment, then said in a rather hesitant tone, "Liu Cairen seems to be really interested in the fake fetus in her belly. What if she is unwilling to drink the abortion pill to frame the Queen and Liu Guiren?"
Liu Man's spirit was shaken, Mom, I'm going to make a difference!
How could she be so virtuous and capable that she could be together with the queen, so that the queen mother tried her best to frame her.
"Don't want to? Then tell that brainless idiot that if you want to maintain the signs of pregnancy for more than five months, you will burn her essence and blood, and she will die within six months at most!"
The Queen Mother's voice was cold, as if she was not talking about a human life, but a piece of trash that could be thrown away.
Even Shu Bin, who looked down on Liu Cairen, couldn't help but shudder.
"But the queen's mother's family has 150,000 soldiers and has deep roots in Mobei. Just framing the queen and killing the prince may not shake her position."
Shu Bin felt a sense of fear in her heart. If she couldn't hit the target with one hit and completely overthrow the Queen and the family behind her, she might also be pushed out by the Queen Mother to be used as cannon fodder!
The Queen Mother squinted at her hopeless look and said proudly:
"The Xie family, there is nothing to be afraid of. Don't worry, I have someone secretly bury something in the Xie family's backyard. As long as they are found out, everyone in the Xie family will definitely die!"
Liu Man, who was squatting in the corner, opened her mouth in shock and was given a mouthful of cool air.
Darling, I really let her squat down to the big melon!
Ding--
[Keyword 'Xie Mansion Backyard' detected]
["Save the Queen's Family" mission progress +5%]
[The current task progress is 10%]
The system finally stopped pretending to be dead and began to work hard without complaining.
After a while, Liu Man realized something was wrong.
Liu Man: [Wait a minute, this routine sounds so familiar! 】
The system kicked away the bubble box with her heartbeat in it, [If you have any ideas, please hold them back for me, please don’t interrupt me]
After eating the melon, the Queen Mother and Shu Bin had finished their discussions and were ready to break up.
Liu Man stood up and moved her legs, which were numb from squatting. All she could think about was, damn.
"No, you must tell the Queen about this matter as soon as possible. If it's a little later, her third brother will be deceived and even lose his underwear!"
Liu Man climbed up the palace wall again according to the route she came in.
Daju, who had met her before, was still there, sitting leisurely on the wall with his fat tummy, sticking out his little tongue and licking his paws.
Liu Man was filled with worries and was eager to share it with others. She didn't have time to develop feelings for Da Ju, so she stretched out her hand to scratch his fat chin and put him into her arms.
After finally climbing the wall of Shoukang Palace, it would be a loss if we didn’t bring some souvenirs back.
Meow meow! (This two-legged beast kidnapped meow!)
By the time Liu Man took the alleyway and ran to the Queen's Palace panting with a little fat man carrying more than ten kilograms in her arms, the Queen had already taken off her coat and was about to fall asleep.
Liu Man put down Fat Orange in front of the queen's palace and told him not to run around. Regardless of whether he understood or not, he hurriedly opened the door and went in.
【ah! so big! 】
As soon as Liu Man entered the door, she was hit by the beauty and she almost forgot what to say.
The queen's eyes widened when she saw the little gangster, and she quickly put on her coat with a red face.
"Why did Manman come to me so late?"
The queen reached out and picked off the leaves hanging from her hair. What big melon had she eaten that made Manman so panicked?
"Queen, I just calculated that one of your relatives will marry a disaster star recently, and the entire Xie family will be in disaster because of this!"
[Quickly advise your love-minded third brother, the woman he marries will kill your whole family! 】
[Oh, it’s been three days since I brought that bad woman home. It’s really tempting the wolf into the house. That dirty thing must have been buried in the flower garden in the center of Xie’s mansion! 】
[If the emperor sees this, with his suspicious temperament, the queen and her family will definitely be hung neatly on the city wall as dried meat! 】
Wind, dryness, meat, dryness!
The queen's hand that was pouring water for Liu Man suddenly shook, and half a cup of scalding water spilled out of the cup, burning the queen's white hands red.
"W-what disaster will happen? Only the third brother in my family is about to get married. Is it the orphan named Bai Zhenzhen?"
The Queen's voice was trembling a little. Her mother had just brought in the news this morning. The third brother who had been missing for a long time suddenly came back. He also brought back a woman from a poor family, saying that she was his savior. He was making a fuss about her. Don’t marry!
The Xie family always respects their children's choices. Mrs. Xie investigated Bai Zhenzhen and saw that she had a clean background and was helpful to her third brother, so she nodded and agreed to their marriage.
There will be a wedding reception on the third day of next month!
Seeing the trembling voice of the queen, Liu Man turned pale with fright. She couldn't bear to scare her anymore, so she quickly held her hand and comforted her:
"Don't be afraid, my dear, I'm not sure yet. Let your third brother and that woman enter the palace tomorrow. I'll know at a glance whether it's her or not."
[Hmph, I'm good at persuading people to break up. Come on, I'll break up a pair. 】
[Tomorrow, we must pour out the river water that has entered Xie Shiqing's mind, and let him take a good look at what kind of monster he wants to marry! 】
The queen slowly felt her heart drop when she saw the evil light shining in Liu Man's eyes, as if she was gearing up for a big fight.
Although Manman is a little naughty, she has always been reliable in important matters. As long as her "love-minded" third brother is not beaten to death, everything will be easy.
The queen believed that just for her, Liu Man would use the artifact called "System" to help the Xie family avoid disaster.
