Chapter 97 Mantis Catches Cicada
Tan Tai Mo: [......]
[Are you not exposed fast enough? ! No way! ]
Trash is trash, he really has nothing to do but listen to it.
Xuanwu System: [Your Highness, don't be anxious, you can't eat hot noodles in a hurry, listen to me. ]
Tan Tai Mo: [......]
Fucking hot noodles!
Xuanwu System: [Your Highness, although Miss Wu is lazy, lustful, and greedy... she is actually very smart and not easy to fool. ]
Tan Tai Mo: [Indeed. ]
Xuanwu System: [Your Highness, you want to capture Miss Wu, and you have to use Miss Wu to pick up the excess lamp oil of the big system. I will capture the big system directly and let the big system willingly hand over the lamp oil. Isn't it wonderful! 】
【This move is called hitting the dragon head-on! 】
Tan Tai Mo: [......]
His forehead ached.
Xuanwu System: [Miss Fifth is smart, but the big system is stupid. Although this system is useless, it has a high level. I know the strong keys that the big system doesn't know. I rely on my status as a high-level system and can fool it in a minute. 】
【If it doesn't work, I can still use the beauty system! 】
【Hehe, I'm not bragging, this system is a famous beauty system in the system world! 】
Tan Tai Mo: [......] He
became more anxious.
Xuanwu System: [Your Highness, don't worry. I'm so smart that I will never reveal anything about your Highness. If I can't fool it, I can unilaterally cut off contact with the big system. Don't worry, it will definitely not be able to catch me! 】
Tan Tai Mo: [......]
I don't dare to feel at ease at all.
I have lived an upright life, how could I be tied up with a sneaky, sneaky thing like you.
[I warn you, don't make trouble.]
Xuanwu System: [Your Highness, please trust me. Maybe I can find out who killed Your Highness.]
[I promise that I will never reveal Your Highness's existence.]
Tan Tai Mo frowned and said nothing.
He always suspected that the horse fall was man-made and could not find the reason.
After the incident was confirmed by the fifth lady, he still did not find any clues.
The horse fall has always been a shadow that cannot be shaken off in his heart.
He still remembers that when a group of wild horses rushed towards him like crazy, biting and trampling on him, the heart-wrenching pain could not hide the despair in his eyes.
He must find the murderer and make him pay thousands of times the price!
[Shut up, let the king think about it for a moment.]

Jane Ruonan’s eleven-year-old birthday banquet was very grand, the only one in the capital.
Not only Princess Jiarou and several princes came, but also the eldest princess came. The five ministers did not come, but sent gifts.
She also saw her grandparents, uncle, and several cousins. It was just that there were too many people that day, and they were polite to each other and did not have a chance to talk properly.
The emperor awarded a pair of gold and jade ruyi, and the palace also sent rewards.
The fourth prince's mother, Concubine Yan Gui, the third prince's mother, Concubine Xian, and the Queen Mother all sent gifts.
Min and Jian Zhang were so surprised.
The emperor wanted Nan Nan to be the imperial concubine.
Nan Nan couldn't bear the hardship of being a prince's consort.
Besides, Nan Nan had a lover, Prince Wang.
Min and Jian Zhang discussed it and decided to go to the Taoist temple with Lady Wang from the Honglu Temple to burn incense some other day so that Nan Nan and Prince Wang could meet and she could get to know Prince Wang better.
If Prince Wang is a good person and Nan Nan likes him, she can settle the marriage with Prince Wang earlier.

After the birthday banquet, Jian Ruonan counted the small treasury in Luming Garden.
She received a lot of treasures today.
The most special one was a red coral bonsai ornament sent by her eldest brother Jian Huayuan.
She has been here for so long, but has not seen her eldest brother. She heard that her eldest brother is on business in a county town by the sea in the south, and will not be back until the New Year.
Putting down the red coral ornaments, she began to count the gold she received today.
Her father gave her a pair of golden deer, her mother gave her a pair of solid gold apples, her eldest sister gave her a gold necklace, and Teng Ge'er gave her a gold bracelet... Her favorite is still the gold ingots given by the fourth prince. It
is a big box of gold ingots that is neatly packed, and she has a bit of difficulty holding it.
The fourth prince is really rich.
Big system: [Nannan, I caught a signal of goodwill from the same kind today.]
Jian Ruonan was holding the gold ingots in her arms and biting them one by one to test their authenticity. She almost broke her teeth when she heard this: [Is there really another system? ! Who is this system bound to? ! 】
Big system: 【There are so many guests today, I don’t know who brought them here. 】
【Fortunately, Nan Nan, you let me upgrade. The signal of that small system is very weak, and it must be of low level. It should not pose a threat to me. 】
Jian Ruonan thought about it, 【Next time you meet it, play dumb to trick it, but don’t reveal me. 】
I don’t know what functions that system has.
As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. I’m afraid that the master of the system will know her existence and become hostile to her.
【Just say that you are a wandering system that accidentally entered this world, you don’t know anything, and you are not tied to a master. You are looking for a master and want to test the other party’s true and false first. 】
Big system: 【Yeah, Nan Nan, I’m stupid. Next time you meet that system, you teach me how to talk! 】
Jian Ruonan: 【No problem.
Although this plan was a little useless, he still had self-awareness and would not act without her knowledge. After discussing with each other for a while, Jian Ruonan asked Zangchun to put away the
gift and picked up the book "Postpartum Care for Cows" next to her to read.
I recently drew a few books. In addition to "Postpartum Care of Cows", there are "Postpartum Care of Sows", "Three-line Hybridization Method of Hybrid Rice" and a unique skill: Cow Midwifery!
Jian Ruonan is going to focus on "Postpartum Care of Cows" and wait until the cow is about to give birth. She will use the cow midwifery skills to show her superb cow midwifery skills in front of the fourth prince, shock the fourth prince with one move, and get more points from him.

After Shu Zijin had a finger cut off by the "Imperial Sword", he was silent for a long time. Finally, when Pu Jingyi
, the supervisor of the East Factory, returned to Beijing from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Shu Zijin raised his broken finger and cried and found his godfather.
Before she even started to cry, she was beaten on the head by Pu Jingyi.
"You are so good to be the first person to be killed by the imperial sword!" This matter caused a big fuss. He knew about it when he was secretly looking for a person named "You" and Guo Nanzu in Jiangsu and Zhejiang under the order of the emperor.
Pu Jingyi's family was poor when he was young. He was sold into the palace by his parents during a disaster. He struggled in the palace for decades and finally climbed to a high position, but his family members died or scattered.
After many twists and turns, he found Shu Zijin, the only son left by his sister. Pu Jingyi took him to live with him and took care of him, hoping that he could have children and continue the bloodline of the Pu family.
This Shu Zijin was Pu Jingyi's adopted son on the surface, but he was actually his biological nephew.
Pu Jingyi was about to beat him again, but the servant outside came to report that there were guests.
"It's already midnight, why are you here at this time?"
The guest was quite important, he was the nephew of the current Queen Mother, the younger brother of Concubine Xian, Duke Cheng'en Zheng Yi.
Duke Cheng'en got straight to the point and stated his purpose: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince wants to marry the Fifth Miss of the Marquis of Jinyang as his principal wife."
"For this matter, just ask the Queen Mother to grant the marriage, why did the Duke come to our house?" Pu Jingyi's eyes were dark, and his face was half-smiled.
It was the Fifth Miss of the Marquis of Jinyang again.
During the time he was away, many interesting things happened in the capital.
Duke Cheng'en smiled and said, "The Fifth Miss has become a big favorite in His Majesty's eyes recently. I heard from Eunuch Cao that His Majesty thinks highly of the Fifth Miss and intends to arrange a marriage for her. Whoever gets the Fifth Miss will be the candidate for the Crown Prince."
Duke Cheng'en stretched out his hand and made a "four" gesture. "This person is keeping a close eye on the Fifth Miss."
"The Prince of Jinyang does not intend to let the Fifth Miss marry the prince, and is preparing to discuss marriage with the Wang family, the Minister of Honglu Temple."
"We must act quickly!"
This is indeed a difficult matter. We must not damage the reputation of the Fifth Miss, and we must not let the Emperor see any clues.
It would be best if the Fifth Miss is willing.
If it weren't so difficult, Pu Jingyi would not have been approached.
A sinister smile flashed in Pu Jingyi's eyes: "Leave this matter to our family, and I guarantee that the Third Prince will be satisfied."
