Chapter 218 triggers a hidden mission—kill the dog emperor and become the queen!

Mo Liyuan frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, and his voice was low and cold: "She has no time to enter the palace recently. There are many palace maids and nannies in my mother's palace. If she feels bored, she can talk to them to relieve her boredom." The implication was that don't disturb his Yue'er.

The Queen Mother glared at him, "Hmph!" She snorted coldly, "I just wanted to see Miss Lan and talk to her. It's because she's so attractive to me, and you're still trying to stop me? You have such a cold face all day long, as if someone owes you a fortune. I wonder what that girl sees in you!"

Mo Liyuan's face grew even darker, his thin lips tightly pursed, his eyes cold and sharp, like a blade covered in frost and snow.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and sighed softly: "Alas... You and the Emperor are brothers..."

She raised her eyes and said earnestly, "The Emperor is your brother after all, and he is the highest authority. You should respect him more and stop looking so cold all the time..."

The Queen Mother started rambling again...

Lan Xiyue looked at the hidden weapon blueprint she had just drawn, blew away the wet ink, then folded it and put it into her sleeve.

I glanced outside and saw that Mo Liyuan had not returned yet.

Lan Xiyue stood up, put the several finely drawn drawings of the human anatomy on the table into her sleeves, and walked out.

When the housekeeper saw Lan Xiyue coming out, he hurried forward and said, "Princess, the message has been sent to the palace. I believe the prince will be back soon. Can you wait a little longer?"

Lan Xiyue shook her head and handed him a few diagrams of the human anatomy. "Give these to Yao Lao." She paused, her lips curled up slightly. "I have something to do. I won't wait for him."

The housekeeper wanted to persuade her again, but saw that she had already walked out with Chu Xia, so he could only sigh.

Normally, the prince knew that the princess came to the palace and was waiting for him, so he should have come back soon. So much time has passed, and the prince still hasn't come back. It must be the empress dowager. Only the empress dowager can let the prince stay in the palace for so long.

After leaving the Regent's Palace, Chu Xia followed Lan Xiyue and couldn't help asking, "Miss, where are we going? Are we going back?"

Lan Xiyue stroked the blueprint in her sleeve with her fingertips. Yesterday, she wanted An Yi to go to the blacksmith shop to make some hidden weapons. Today, she had nothing to do anyway and didn't want to go back to the Wuguohou Mansion, so she decided to go to the blacksmith shop to take a look.

"Blacksmith shop."

"Blacksmith shop?" Chu Xia was stunned and muttered, "What are you doing there?"

Lan Xiyue smiled but did not answer.

They stopped in front of an old shop with a plaque that read "Bai Lian Fang".

The fire in the shop was burning brightly, and the sound of iron being hammered could be heard incessantly.

A shirtless man saw two girls at the store entrance, stopped hammering, wiped his sweat, and asked, "What are you going to hit, girls?"

"You can make anything here?" Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows.

The sturdy man patted his chest and laughed: "As long as the girl can give me the blueprint, there is nothing that I, Old Zhang, can't draw!"

Lan Xiyue took out two pieces of paper from her sleeve and handed them over.

The sturdy man rubbed his hands on his trouser legs, took it and looked at it carefully, and suddenly his eyes widened - the lines on the paper were neat, and it turned out to be a structural diagram of a set of exquisite hidden weapons, even the details of the mechanism were clearly marked.

"Girl, this..." He looked up, his face full of shock.

"Can it be built?"

The strong man took a deep breath and said, "I can, but it will take at least three days. The wages are fifty taels, and you have to pay a deposit of twenty-five taels first."

Lan Xiyue readily took out the silver ingot.

The burly man handed over a wooden plaque with a branding on it: "You can pick up the goods with this in three days and pay the remaining balance."

Lan Xiyue put away the wooden sign and turned to leave. Chu Xia trotted after her, her eyes full of confusion. "Miss, what did you get? It costs fifty taels, so expensive!"

Lan Xiyue turned her head and flicked Chu Xia on the forehead, "I won't tell you."

Chuxia pouted and said, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. The lady even tapped my forehead. Hiss~ It hurts a little."

Lan Xiyue had just taken a few steps forward when a black carriage came galloping and stopped steadily in front of her.

The gray-clothed man driving the carriage said coldly, "Miss Lan, my master invites you. Please get in the carriage, Miss Lan."

Lan Xiyue looked at the man, her eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes: "Who is your master?"

"You'll know when you get there." The man said stiffly.

"Oh?" Lan Xiyue stroked her sleeves and said casually, "It's a pity, I'm not interested." After that, she turned and left.

"Swish--" Two black shadows suddenly fell and blocked her way.

Lan Xiyue paused and turned around slowly, her eyes growing colder: "Why, do I have to go?"

The gray-clothed man tapped the shaft of the carriage with his fingers, his voice cold: "Miss Lan, you'd better be sensible. Otherwise..." He glanced at Chu Xia, "This girl, as well as the hundreds of people in the Duke of Huguo Mansion and the Marquis of Wuguo Mansion, will probably have to pay the price for your willfulness."

Chu Xia's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and stepped forward, trying to block Lan Xiyue, but was pulled back by Lan Xiyue.

"Threaten me?" Lan Xiyue chuckled, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

The man suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Miss Lan, you'd better get rid of those two spies hiding in the dark." He glanced meaningfully at the shadows at the end of the alley. "The master only sees you."

Lan Xiyue's eyes flashed coldly, and she suddenly became interested, her red lips curled slightly: "Since you want to see me, why not send your invitation openly? Being so secretive... are you a cowardly person?"

"Miss Lan, be careful with your words. You can't say anything that could cause harm." The man's face darkened and he clenched his whip tightly. "Miss Lan, don't refuse a toast. If you delay any longer, when the sun rises tomorrow, the plaques on the Marquis of Wu and the Duke of Huguo's mansions—" He sneered, "will have to be replaced with white banners."

“Ding Dong!”

System: "Host, host, trigger the hidden mission! Host, do you accept it or not?"

Lan Xiyue was stunned. "Ah? What hidden mission?"

System: "Feng Ming Jiu Xiao - The host killed the dog emperor and turned over to become the queen. The reward is 100 million points. Is the host tempted? If you are tempted, then take action. GOGOGO!"

Lan Xiyue's face darkened. "What the hell? Kill the emperor? Become the empress? No, system, are you crazy?"

System: "Host, the system has detected that the Emperor has murderous intentions towards you, and has triggered a hidden mission. Host, do you want to do something big? Host, think about it. Once you kill the damn Emperor, you will become the Empress. Not only will you have a handsome Regent by your side, but you will also have many other handsome men around you. Host, just tell me, is it great or not?"

Lan Xiyue thought about the painting. It was quite beautiful. Suddenly, in the picture, Mo Liyuan, with a murderous look on his face, killed all the handsome men around her with a sword and looked at her with cold eyes.

Lan Xiyue came back to her senses instantly. Oh my god, what a scary look, like a poisonous snake. Lan Xiyue shook off the goose bumps on her body. No, she was just thinking about the scene that the system described. Why was Mo Liyuan so scary in the scene she imagined?

System: "Master, here are 100 million points. You can redeem anything in the mall. Surrounded by handsome men..."

"Stop! System, how did you detect that the emperor has murderous intentions towards me? You are not capable!" Lan Xiyue looked at the man in front of her who was looking at her coldly, and suddenly realized, "System, is this the emperor's man?"

System: "Yes, the system's energy has recovered a little bit, so it detected it and triggered the hidden task."
