In the secret room of Prince Chen's Mansion.
Xuanyuan Mingchen sat in the main seat: his face was as sharp as a knife, his features strong and defined. His eyebrows reached his temples, his lips were thin, his teeth were white. Especially those narrow, phoenix-like eyes, when he met their gaze, they reflected an inexplicably compelling light. His entire aura was... majestic and fierce, aloof and noble.
He was exceptionally tall, his physique sturdy and robust from years of fighting. Despite being a first-class prince, he disdained luxury. Even after returning to Beijing, he still wore his usual army-green cotton, cross-collared pajamas, meticulously maintained, with few wrinkles. Frugality, self-discipline, and rigor were ingrained in his nature.
He stared straight ahead, lost in thought...
Even if he'd been away from the battlefield for over a month, so what? He'd been following his father into battle since he was twelve. It could be said that he'd spent almost his entire youth in the northern borders. Defending the nation, guarding the frontiers; punishing anyone who invaded our territory, no matter how far away, was his life motto. No one could change that, and no one could... stab him in the back and leave him to suffer the consequences.
"Iron One!"
A dark figure flashed out from the darkness, clasped his fists and knelt on one knee, "Master!"
"Eliminate those who are spreading slander, sowing discord and seeking personal gain, and disturbing the emperor's hearing. Be careful, and be quick and decisive!"
"Yes!" Tie Yi accepted the order, feeling surprised. It seemed that this time, the person above him had completely touched the prince's bottom line.
"etc!"
"Hmm?" Tie Yi turned around and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"
"Has the person sent to the farm to investigate the past ten years of Miss Shen Aoshan and her maid returned?"
"Your Highness, I haven't returned yet because the journey is so long!"
"Let them continue. I will go to the Shen Mansion to scout out some things tonight!"
Tie Yi's expression suddenly changed. "But Your Majesty, the poison in your body has not yet been cured! Why not wait for Divine Doctor Bai to return to the capital to cure you before doing anything else? Besides, women's boudoirs are full of the smell of cosmetics. If the poison is induced to relapse, the consequences will be unimaginable..."
Xuanyuan Mingchen raised his hand to stop Tieyi from continuing. Standing up, he said in an unyielding tone, "It's okay! The Golden Gu has a docile temperament, and ordinary smells won't trigger it."
...
Yan Miaoling was overjoyed at the change of living environment and was showing off to the system at the moment, "As expected, she is the heroine after all. She has only been back home for three days, and she has gone from being unloved and thrown into the shabby courtyard in the far corner to the second lady's Lotus Fragrance Courtyard. You don't even know that the second lady, who just left reluctantly, was so angry that her nose was crooked."
The system lazily said, "Of course! How could she become the heroine of the book without some tricks?"
Yan Miaoling nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes! I haven't seen how good your medical skills are yet, but your Qinggong skills are indeed superb. That day, you took me to the teahouse to watch the fun, and we were flying all the way. I almost vomited because of it."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the system stopped responding, "What's wrong?"
System, "It's over! Something's happening!"
"how?"
"Xuanyuan Mingchen is here!"
"Huh? Why is he here?" He didn't appear in the novel on the night of the move. Suspiciously, he asked, "Where is he?"
The system closed its eyes and said in a trembling tone, "Behind you..."
After saying this, Yan Miaoling, startled, quickly turned around to see who was coming... and immediately dropped the durian meat and the box in her hand. "Ah!" This wasn't an act; it was a natural reaction. She was used to living alone in the modern world. But if a stranger suddenly appeared in the room one day, she didn't think any woman would be afraid!
Before she could react, Xuanyuan Mingchen had already acupunctured her, leaving her unable to move or speak. "..." Her large eyes filled with tears, looking pitiful. [This is the ruthless and ruthless God of War. It's said that the sword he wields alone weighs over a hundred pounds. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to kill her?]
Should she hide in the space? If she does, her cheat code will be exposed. It will be difficult to manipulate these ten male protagonists with different personalities.
Xuanyuan Mingchen, masked, twitched his ears. The female voice he'd heard that day rang out again. It seemed he'd finally gotten the answer he'd sought. The person sighing for him that day in the teahouse next door...wasn't Shen Aoshan, but her maid.
But why could he hear the sound even though the maid didn't move her mouth?
Could it be that... he could hear what she was thinking?
Yan Miaoling's eyes flickered with a fierce desire to survive. "Don't kill me! You're the god who saved the people. You're our protector. I'm also a citizen of Dazhao... woooo..." Ancient people, especially the royal family and nobles, simply didn't reason with the common people. "Crushing her to death is like crushing an ant..."
Yan Miaoling was thinking in his mind, but he didn't know that Xuanyuan Mingchen heard all the positive feedback he gave him clearly.
Everyone likes to be praised and understood, and Xuanyuan Mingchen's suspicion and defensiveness gradually relaxed. He lowered his voice, a rare gesture, to explain, "I won't kill you. But after I unblock your acupuncture points, you can't scream or shout. Understand..."
As long as she is alive, Yan Miaoling nodded repeatedly.
Xuanyuan Mingchen raised his hand and slapped her neck twice, allowing Yan Miaoling to move again. After she was free, she did nothing but pick up the fallen durian flesh...
There's no way, this thing is expensive!
It's expensive in modern times and she doesn't eat it often. In ancient times, it was only available to the royal family. If the Queen hadn't hypocritically given some to the future Princess Chen, Shen Aoshan, and Shen Aoshan didn't eat it, how could she have had her turn?!
Foodie!
The system with the background board installed is simply unbearable to look at.
The pungent smell of durian approached, making Xuanyuan Mingchen, who had avoided it since childhood, feel uneasy. Having been completely focused on the maid, he finally noticed. "You actually ate durian... Ugh!" He cried out in pain before he could finish his words. He pointed at Yan Miaoling with one hand, clutching his chest with the other. Then, as if having a heart attack, his eyes clenched shut and his teeth clenched, and he collapsed backwards...
The system prompts, "Go and help! Don't forget, if any of the ten male and female protagonists dies early, you will die!"
"Ah, yes!" Yan Miaoling, who had only been here a few days, was clearly not in the right state. She ignored the troublemaker Durian and rushed over to act as a shield for the man...
Uh, damn, this guy is 1.9 meters tall and so heavy!
Yan Miaoling was knocked off her feet by the impact and fell forward. Xuanyuan Mingchen's body first fell on her back, then rebounded and fell down.
The person was completely confused and didn't know whether he was alive or dead!
Yan Miaoling panicked and immediately thought of Shen Aoshan's medical skills, so she rushed out to call for help.
