Although the empress was foolish, she also understood that power breeds ambition, so she would rather disperse military and imperial power to her trusted ministers.
She firmly believed that this would prevent the princess from coveting the position under her buttocks and the resulting threat.
Moreover, power was decentralized and responsibilities were transferred to the ministers. She did not have to worry about government affairs, and those ministers who received power from her would be grateful to her. Moreover, she was not really stupid. Although the military power was ostensibly handed over to the King of Zhenxi, she still held the military seal that could dispatch the generals firmly in her hands.
If things get out of control, she is confident that she can remedy the situation.
Therefore, not only does Qinglong Kingdom currently lack a Crown Princess, the Qinglong Kingdom's Queen has four daughters. Aside from the eldest daughter, who established her own palace and married, was grudgingly granted the title of Prince and now holds a nominal position doing odd jobs in the court, the remaining third, fifth, and sixth daughters have yet to leave the palace and establish their own palaces, and are instead kept as mascots within the palace...
The Queen didn't know who benefited from this action, but she did get something out of it.
The unmarried princes and princesses were all in the palace, which saved her a lot of time. Song Sanniang checked the roofs one by one. There was no one in the prince's mansion, so she checked the princess's mansion next.
The third princess is not here, and the sixth princess, also known as the heroine, is not here. She is probably almost at the battlefield. The one who lives next door to her is the fifth princess.
Standing on the roof of the Fifth Princess's house, Song Sanniang frowned under her black veil, wondering whether it was or not.
Now there was only one place left in the palace. Song Sanniang turned around and looked at the largest, tallest, and most luxurious palace behind her - that was the queen's bedroom.
Before she got close, she could already hear the sounds of stringed instruments and bamboo instruments coming from the palace, as well as some indescribable sounds. Song Sanniang stopped and hesitated.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Through her extended spiritual perspective, she could see the situation in the palace clearly.
Song Sanniang took a deep breath and quickly helped the system block it. Phew~ Fortunately, she acted quickly and the system was still the pure ruler.
Although she felt that she was very shameless, Song Sanniang did not want to listen to such gossip. After quickly checking everyone in the room, she even checked the eunuchs inside. After making sure that the male protagonist was not among them, she ran away immediately.
Only after they were far away from the palace did Song Sanniang release the system.
"Host, what happened just now? Everything went black in front of my eyes. I was scared."
Song Sanniang touched her nose and said, "Ahem. It's okay. You're still a child. You need to rest."
108: What is the host talking about?
Sitting on the roof, looking at the sky slowly emitting light in the distance, Song Sanniang let out a breath and left the palace in a few flashes.
When she returned to her little house, it was already dawn. Song Sanniang took off her battle suit and put it into the space. She might need it later, so she kept it for now.
After putting away the clothes, I carefully selected breakfast in the space. In addition to some common steamed buns, steamed bread, fried dough sticks, noodles, wontons and dumplings, there are also some exquisitely presented Western breakfasts with rich varieties.
In the end, Song Sanniang finally chose wontons. After eating a bowl of wontons, her body seemed to relax.
Song Sanniang looked at her current small body and frowned. While finding someone was important, she also needed to train this body well.
If she can't find the person in the capital, he's probably near the heroine, and then she'll have to leave the capital and go to the border.
There is a war going on over there, and the conditions for this halo are quite harsh, as it can only be used at close range. She will probably have to join the barracks by then, and she will have to take good care of her small body.
! !
Suddenly there was a noise outside the door, someone was trying to pry it open!
Song Sanniang's eyes became fierce, and her soul leaned out of the house, and she saw two people acting suspiciously outside the courtyard gate.
"Husband, isn't this a bad idea? After all, the lady paid the rent. What if she's still alive and we run into her when we go in? How about we wait a few more days before coming back?"
"My dear wife, didn't you see how sick that lady looked when she signed the lease with us the day before yesterday? She looked like she wouldn't live long. She must have fled from the war."
"And you've forgotten that I was an apprentice in the clinic for several years. I've seen and heard a lot, so I can see a lot. That lady obviously doesn't have many days left to live. Look, she hasn't even made any movement yesterday or today."
Later, the man leaned in front of the woman and added in a low voice, "I guess that lady is gone. If we wait a few more days, she will stink. By then, we won't even be able to keep this house anymore."
After hearing what the man said, the woman was also convinced.
"So, is this why you urged me to rent the house to her? Or is my husband really smart?"
"Of course I did. I got almost three months' rent for free, and half of the money Gui'er helped me with was paid back..."
Song Sanniang stood behind the door and heard everything the two said. A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. This was a plot against her.
She suddenly opened the door, and the man and woman in front of the door looked at her in surprise.
"Ahhh! Ghost!"
Song Sanniang's face was stern. "Not only did you two sneak around my door, but now you're cursing me to death. What do you want to do?"
The two looked at each other and stood up.
"You are so rude, my wife and I. It's just that you haven't been out for a few days, and I haven't seen you buying food before. We were worried that something had happened to you, so we came to check on you."
"Besides, you were so sick before, I was afraid you would die in our house. Then we wouldn't be able to rent or sell it anymore! And if anything happened to you, we would have to go through the trouble of burying you. My kindness was just being ignored."
"Hmph! My wife, let's go."
Song Sanniang originally wanted to give them a good beating, but after hearing what the man said, she finally restrained herself.
What that person said made sense. The two of them were greedy for money, but the original owner chose to rent their house and paid three months' rent in one lump sum. Didn't she know that she didn't have much time left?
She knew that, so she gave all her money as rent, just hoping to return to the earth after death.
Song Sanniang closed the door, went into bed and took a nap, as she still had a lot to do in the evening.
Then, for ten consecutive nights, the system was searching for the male protagonist's whereabouts. As for why it was the system, it was because Song Sanniang felt that staying up late was harmful to her health, and she still had to take care of her body and find the male protagonist to give birth to a baby.
Then why didn't he let the system go in the first place, but instead spent an entire night searching the palace himself?
Song Sanniang: When I was catching up on my sleep during the day, a sudden flash of inspiration came to me: can the system leave the body?
Then she asked, and Tong was surprised.
At night, Song Sanniang slept soundly, while the system worked overtime.
