Slacking Off and Gossiping: The Court Officials Are Not Amused

Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after working overtime and staying up late. In her dying moments, she bound to a 'Gossip System'.

She then...

Chapter 178 Many People Want to Kill Me...

As soon as the system alarm sounded, unusual movements occurred around.

The leaves rustled and noisy footsteps came from far away, and at a very fast speed.

Xu An and the other two protected Lu Yunting and Jiang Yueyang in the middle, with their swords already unsheathed.

Jiang Yueyang calmly asked: [Little melon, is it a human or a beast? ]

【People, a lot of people. 】

【Oh, that's fine. 】

Her "power of words" has absolute control over people, no matter how many people there are.

The system said: [Host, unless it is a life-or-death situation, I do not recommend you use that ability. ]

[I know, I will use it with caution.]

Just then, a group of masked men in black appeared in their sight.

Xu An and the other two immediately stepped forward to fight with the men in black. After a while, the wind was mixed with a hint of blood.

Lu Yunting didn't want the man in black to waste his time alone with Jiang Yueyang, so he reached out and picked up the bow and arrow.

He shot an arrow swiftly and quickly killed a man in black before anyone could react.

Then he shot three arrows at once, and three more men in black fell to the ground.

Jiang Yueyang was full of admiration, what a great archery skill!

The man in black didn't expect Lu Yunting's archery skills to be so amazing, and he immediately thought of retreating.

But Lu Yunting had no intention of letting them go. He just said to the void: "Don't let any of them go!"

As his voice fell, Jiang Yueyang saw seven people flying down from the tree.

A few minutes later, only one of the men in black was left alive.

Lu Yunting walked up to the survivor and said in a voice as cold as the wind, "Tell me who's behind this, and I'll spare your life!"

The man in black closed his eyes and said nothing.

Xu An said: "Sir, these people are the same group as the ones who assassinated us last time. They are all assassins."

Jiang Yueyang raised her eyebrows slightly, [I thought these men in black were here to assassinate me, but it turns out they weren't. Little melon, do you know who wants to kill Lu Yunting? ]

【The enemy who murdered his father.】

Jiang Yueyang lowered her eyes and thought, [Little melon, if I stood in front of the murderer of Lu Yunting's father, would you know who the murderer is? ]

After these words were spoken, several people in the Shadow Pavilion looked at each other secretly. Is the truth of that year going to be revealed?

[Yes. Actually, there is another way. Give me the name of the suspect. Whoever I cannot eat the melon from is the murderer.]

【Why didn’t you say so earlier? 】

The system hesitated with a guilty conscience, [You...you didn't ask.]

After hearing this answer, Jiang Yueyang felt that sooner or later he would be pissed off to death by the system!

When you should be smart, you are extremely stupid, and when you shouldn't be smart, you are too smart!

She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, turned her head and asked Lu Yunting, "Do you know who has tried to kill you several times?"

Lu Yunting shook his head. "Many people want to kill me..."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang's eyes were full of heartache, "Then do you have anyone you suspect?"

Lu Yunting mentioned the names of several people, all of whom were soldiers of the Lu family army who were accompanying him back to Beijing this time, including some who were generals.

During the days he returned to Beijing, apart from the time they spent together and attending court, he was tracking down the murderer.

[Little melon?] Jiang Yueyang called out the system's name meaningfully.

The system said: [Neither.]

Hearing that none of them were true, Xu An and the others looked disappointed.

They tracked it down for so long and finally found a few people who met the characteristics and had the corresponding abilities, but it turned out that none of them were them.

Who is the person behind this who is hiding so deeply?

Lu Yunting was both surprised and not surprised by this result.

If someone could kill his father without leaving any evidence, he would still doubt the truth if it was so easy to find.

Jiang Yueyang was a little disappointed, but not too surprised. After all, in her opinion, bad guys have a long lifespan.

She looked at the only surviving man in black and the system analysis: [Xiaogua, the mastermind knows Lu Yunting's whereabouts, does it mean that the murderer is around us? ]

[Not necessarily. A big boss like the mastermind usually has many powerful subordinates to command.]

【Then pull out the little brother first. 】

After saying that, Jiang Yueyang looked at Lu Yunting and asked, "Can I go to your military camp to see the world-famous Lu Family Army?"

"Okay, I just need you to disguise yourself."

The military camp was full of rough men and bachelors, and he didn't want Jiang Yueyang to be stared at.

Jiang Yueyang made an OK gesture, "No problem."

Lu Yunting raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled. It turned out that this strange gesture meant that there was no problem.

"Let's go."

"Yes!" Jiang Yueyang responded with a stronger tone, and glanced at the man in black kneeling on the ground, "How are you going to deal with this person?"

"Kill him."

"No more trial?"

"No need. They are dead men and won't say anything."

"All right."

At this time, in the Ning'an Palace on the other side, the Emperor and the Empress were sitting together, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing below them.

Emperor Yuan asked, "Prince, it is time for you to get married. Tell me, who do you want to choose as your Crown Princess?"

The prince said calmly, "Father, the Emperor, and Mother, please make the decision. I, your son, do not care."

"Nonsense! How can you not care about such an important matter as marriage?" Emperor Yuan scolded.

Hearing this, the prince raised his eyes slightly and looked at Emperor Yuan, "Father, I have chosen someone, can you agree to it?"

Emperor Yuan was silent, and the Empress's eyes were filled with distress.

The prince continued, "Apart from her, it would make no difference to me who becomes the crown princess."

Hearing this, Emperor Yuan suddenly became angry.

"As the crown prince of Daxia and the future emperor, you will shoulder the responsibility of the whole world. How can you be so sentimental? Besides, don't you really consider Jiang Yueyang?"

The prince frowned slightly, "What do you mean by this, father?"

"Everyone in the court knows that you are in love with Jiang Yueyang. Can you ensure that the future Crown Princess will not harbor any grudges against her?"

The prince was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "Then let's choose Miss Gu Ruo. She and her are like sisters, and she probably won't embarrass her because of your son."

Gu Ruo's knowledge and character are worthy of the position of Crown Princess, and the Emperor and Empress have no objection to her being the Crown Princess.

I just don’t know if she is willing to be the Crown Princess. After all, she knows how the Crown Prince feels about Jiang Yueyang.

Back to Jiang Yueyang, she changed into men's clothes, put on a veil hat, and followed Lu Yunting into the royal training ground, the temporary Lu family army camp.

"Lu Yunting, I've changed into men's clothes, why do I still wear this hat? Don't you think it's weird for a man to wear a veil hat?"

“Not surprising.”

Receiving the hint from the eyes, Xu An also said, "I don't think it's strange either."

Jiang Yueyang: "..."

System: [I think it's a bit strange, but the host should still wear it. I'm afraid you'll turn the Lu family soldiers gay.]

Everyone: “…”
