Ning Qing: Cat, can you locate the kittens?

System: The location of the task target cannot be located unless a task is assigned.

Ning Qing: You locate him, I'll go protect him.

System: The mission target is not in immediate danger and location services cannot be activated.

Ning Qing: If a system cannot provide location services, is it your choice to go into the dark room, or should I send you in?

The system pouted, looking aggrieved: "Host, I still have many other uses."

Ning Qing: For example?

System: I can act cute and charming to warm your bed. Which service do you need, host?

Ning Qing: I need you to go into the dark room right now.

The system, feeling wronged, could only wave goodbye with its little handkerchief and climb into the dark room.

Ning Qingchao shouted from the big tree, "Night."

The next moment, a man dressed in black appeared in front of Ning Qing, knelt on one knee, and said, "Your subordinate greets Your Highness."

Ning Qing took an envelope out of her sleeve and handed it to Hei Ye, saying, "Please deliver this letter to my father personally."

He nodded emphatically and said firmly, "I will certainly do it."

Ning Qing nodded slightly. "Okay, go ahead."

"Your subordinate takes his leave," and the man disappeared into the courtyard at lightning speed.

As Ning Qing watched the darkness disappear, she thought to herself: "The Prince of Jin'an truly lives up to his reputation as an ever-victorious general; he is indeed skilled at training people."

The system's voice came out again: "Hmm, that's really impressive."

Ning Qing sighed, her voice chilling: "Cat, didn't you already climb into the dark room? Why are you still here?"

The system replied guiltily: It's not that there's nothing to eat in the dark room, so the host certainly wouldn't bring prison food. I just came out to take my favorite snacks back to the dark room.

Ning Qing: The dark room can no longer hold you.

System: You can still lock me up.

I silently added in my mind: Of course it can lock me up if I want to.

Ning Qing: Alright, since I can't keep you here, you don't need to go back. Tell me about the little brat.

Upon hearing this, the system instantly became energetic, and its leg pain and backache disappeared.

System: The mission target's biological mother is Consort Zheng, the wife of Emperor Wu Yuan. Ten years ago, 135 members of Consort Zheng's family died in a fire overnight. The following month, Consort Zheng died in the palace from excessive grief and longing for her family.

Ning Qing rolled her eyes: That's all?

System: Yes, these are common knowledge.

Ning Qing: Why did the little brat dress as a girl from a young age?

System: There's a terrifying rumor in the palace that princes usually don't live past the age of three, but princesses are safe and sound. Consort Zheng successfully gave birth to the mission target, and seeing that it was a prince, she bribed the midwife to announce to the public that she had given birth to a princess.

Ning Qing: Cat, don't you think your words are full of holes?

System: Host, that's the official explanation.

Ning Qing: Oh, what about the private explanation?

System: Please use your imagination.

Ning Qing said: She doesn't want this system anymore, whoever wants it can take it home.

The system said pitifully, "Host, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but our protection system has limited permissions. We're here to perform protection tasks, and all we need to do is protect the target."

Besides, these little worlds all have their own set of rules, and we shouldn't interfere too much. Disrupting the order and rules would be a disaster.

Seeing that Ning Qing remained silent, the system continued to persuade her: "If there were no such order and rules, every capable outsider could do whatever they wanted in these small worlds, which would be a disaster for the natives of these small worlds."

There's a lot of truth to the saying "Without rules, there can be no order."

Ning Qing: What are you trying to cover up by arguing with me like this?

The system felt guilty: In fact, every different life is a kind of cultivation.
