Chapter 158: Intent on Stealing the Secret Method of Bomb

Listening to Luo Ranran's inner voice, the maid shook her body again, and she looked even more timid.

Luo Ranran narrowed her eyes.

[What a frail and timid little maid! What’s wrong? Are you too carried away with acting? 】

[Humph, I have eyes that can tell whether someone is human or ghost at a glance. You think you are pretending well? To tell you the truth, you are pretending too much~]

The maid's face changed drastically and she pursed her lips tightly.

When everyone heard this, their brows gradually frowned, and they glanced at the kneeling maid calmly.

A deep look flashed across the queen's eyes.

She had long noticed that there was something wrong with this maid, so she sent someone to investigate, but everything turned out to be normal and nothing was found.

It is precisely because it is too normal that people feel it is abnormal.

After thinking it over, she decided to keep the person by her side. She wanted to see what her purpose was. Only when she could keep her under her nose and monitor her would she feel a little relieved.

"My dear, come here. This is freshly grilled food without any chili. Eat it while it's hot." The queen handed a skewer of grilled venison to Luo Ranran.

"Ah? No pepper?"

Luo Ranran frowned. She didn't really want to eat barbecue without chili, because she had a strong taste for food.

The queen smiled helplessly, "My dear, you are still young, so you can only eat light food. You can't eat spicy food, otherwise your stomach will be uncomfortable."

Luo Ranran pouted.

[Okay, since my aunt dotes on me, I will obey her this time. But next time, I won’t. 】

Queen: “…”

My dear, no one can control you with your stubborn temper!

Luo Ranran took the roasted venison and ate it while asking, "Aunt, this little maidservant just came here recently, right?"

The queen nodded, "Yes, her name is Yang Cao'er, and her brother is Yang Tieniu of the Wolf Fang Army. Half a month ago, Yang Cao'er went to the Fifth Prince's Mansion for help, saying that her parents were killed by bandits. Now she has nowhere to go, so she can only come to her brother Yang Tieniu for help."

"After the two siblings recognized each other, I originally planned to arrange a job for her and let her stay in the imperial city, but she didn't want to. She said she only wanted to serve me, even if she was a little maid who cleaned the house."

At this point, the queen seemed helpless and sighed, "I had no choice but to bring her to the military base."

Luo Ranran was speechless.

[The Wolf Fang Army has a total of 50,000 soldiers. If their families are in trouble and they all come to us for help, then wouldn't this place become a refuge? 】

Luo Ranran suddenly felt that the roasted venison was becoming less and less flavorful, and sighed like a little adult.

"Aunt, you are too kind-hearted. Just give her some money and send her off. Why do you need to bring her with you?"

The queen pretended to be embarrassed and said, "My dear, I was just soft-hearted for a moment and couldn't bear to see the little girl suffer."

Luo Ranran raised her eyebrows, "Aunt, not everyone can come to serve you. Look at this girl, she is so timid, she really can't stand up to the elegant hall and is not presentable."

Yang Cao'er's eyes darkened and she gritted her teeth secretly.

[Aunt, this won’t do. Fortunately, I discovered that something was wrong with this maid at the first moment. If I had come a few days later, our secret bomb method would have been stolen by her. 】

Yang Cao'er's pupils suddenly shrank, full of disbelief.

How could a baby like Princess Zhaoyang know her plan?

Could it be that she is just like her father, the Imperial Preceptor, and is able to tell fortunes at such a young age?

The queen was horrified.

She had clearly sent secret guards to monitor Yang Cao'er's every move, but she didn't expect that Yang Cao'er could steal the secret recipe of the bomb right under their noses.

I really underestimated her.

The queen's face was cold. She gestured to the secret guards and then asked bluntly, "My dear, do you think something is wrong with Yang Cao'er?"

"Yes~" Luo Ranran nodded her little head, staring straight at Yang Caoer, with the corners of her mouth raised, her baby voice full of sarcasm.

"Oh, oh, oh, you are quite good at pretending. You have been able to keep your composure until now. Aren't you afraid that you will fail to complete your mission and lose your life?"

Yang Cao'er's eyes flickered slightly, and she trembled and crawled on the ground, "County, County Master, I don't know what you are talking about?"

[If you want to pretend, just pretend as much as you can!] 】

Yang Caoer: “…”

She was not pretending at this moment, she was really scared.

Luo Ranran laughed like a villain, "You don't know, right? Come on, capture this little girl and skin her alive. I want to see if she is just being stubborn or just having a tough life."

"Yes, Princess."

The shadow figure flashed.

Just when his hand was about to touch Yang Cao'er, Yang Cao'er twisted her body and dodged it in an instant.

The war was about to break out. Both sides suddenly flew into the air and fought back and forth for a hundred moves.

The queen looked extremely unhappy.

This time she was careless.

I originally thought that Yang Cao'er was just a woman, and no matter how powerful she was, she could not compare to her secret guards. But I didn't expect that her martial arts skills were so high.

"Hehe." Luo Ranran watched the two fighting with great interest, and shouted in a baby voice: "Yang Cao'er, should I call you Hong'er or Lu Jiaojiao?"

Yang Cao'er paused, her eyes filled with shock.

Just as she was in a trance, Ying Yi summoned his inner strength and slapped her to the ground.

With a "bang", Yang Cao'er fell heavily to the ground, his face grimacing in pain. Then he covered his chest and spit out blood.

The secret guards rushed out and captured Yang Caoer in an instant.

The queen sighed in her heart.

It seems that her secret guards also need to be trained, otherwise she would be embarrassed if she could not even beat a woman.

The little guys glanced at it lightly and continued to grill. Although the melon was delicious, the most important thing was to fill their stomachs.

Except for the Fourth Prince.

His eyes lit up. He wanted to try the barbecue and watch the show, but there was only one of him, and he couldn't split him into two halves!

Never mind, watching the show is more important.

The Fourth Prince quickly washed his hands and happily came to Luo Ranran's side.

"Sister, how do you know this person's real name is not Yang Cao'er?"

Luo Ranran giggled.

"Fourth brother, I know everything about astronomy and geography. I even know about the time you pooped your pants when you were a kid. I only need to take a glance at Lu Jiaojiao to know everything about her past."

"Wow!" The fourth prince's eyes were full of stars, and he admired her very much. "Sister, you are so amazing, can you teach me?"

It would have been better if we didn't mention the incident of him pooping his pants.

Luo Ranran shrugged and spread her hands, "No, this ability of mine can only be understood, it cannot be explained, but..."

"But what?"

"But I can take you, my fourth brother, to eat the big melon together. Hehe, isn't it nice to just eat the big melon?"

The fourth prince's eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands in approval, "Sister, you are still amazing. I have decided that I will follow you to enjoy the big melons in the future."

"No!" Naituanzi suddenly became serious.

"Fourth brother, aren't you determined to become a general king? If you follow me around all day, how can you become a general king? And how can you improve your martial arts?"
