What exactly went wrong?
Mu Qingyun looked up at herself in the mirror. Her makeup was so thick that she couldn't wash it off properly even after a long time.
At the hotel, he was just testing her. When they went to the castle, he gave her the black jade ring, and those were also tests. At the time, she only saw inquiry in his eyes and no other emotions.
But his eyes changed after he came out of the castle.
So it was only after meeting Mu Xueyao that Krissen realized something was amiss about her identity.
She closed her eyes and started rubbing her makeup off again, using a little force, and finally managed to remove the heavy makeup.
She wiped her face, went to the living room, and poured herself a glass of water.
A little while later, Ling Rui woke up. "Brother Mu, you're back?"
Ling Rui had clearly just woken up; her eyes were full of confusion and drowsiness. "How are you?"
“Not ideal,” Mu Qingyun frowned, looking up at Ling Rui. “Is there something you haven’t told me? For example, did anything happen between you and Mu Xueyao that Chrisen knows about?”
Hearing her words, Ling Rui, who had been looking confused, paused for a moment. After realizing what she meant, her face immediately turned pale. "It's a bit contradictory. I mentioned it to Chrisson before. Did Chrisson use Mu Xueyao to trick you into telling me something?"
"He took me to the castle today, and Mu Xueyao was there." Mu Qingyun knew that she was pretty much right when she saw Ling Rui's expression.
It seems that Ling Rui had told Krissen something about Mu Xueyao, which is why Krissen used Mu Xueyao to test her in the end.
"Wasn't Mu Xueyao in Capa Dome? How did she end up in Chrisson's hands?" Ling Rui asked, puzzled. "So you met with Mu Xueyao today?"
"Hmm," Mu Qingyun responded faintly.
"So how did you behave?" Ling Rui still held a sliver of hope, although she knew that Mu Qingyun was asking her this question because Christensen had become suspicious.
"I pretended to only know him and didn't have any other interaction with him. Afterwards, I responded in various ways based on this reaction." Mu Qingyun took a sip of water to calm herself down.
Although she suspected that she had run into trouble with Chrisson, it was just a guess before. Now that she had the truth, she was a little devastated.
Before she arrived, she never expected that her identity would be exposed after only one day, and that it would even lead to the exposure of Ling Rui's identity.
An unprecedented sense of frustration welled up inside her; she was a little irritable, her skill level shouldn't be this bad.
"ah?"
We're doomed!
Ling Rui frowned. "I ran into him at the bar. Chris insisted on having a few drinks with me and asked why I didn't stay in Capação and instead came to Mytel."
"At the time, I just casually said that my family had some conflicts with Mu Xueyao and that we didn't want to be retaliated against by that hypocritical woman, so the whole family came to Mytel."
Ling Rui sighed regretfully. She was a little drunk at the time and tried to come up with a plausible excuse, but it was just something she made up in her drunken state.
She didn't expect Chrisson to remember this, so she didn't tell Mu Qingyun about the casual remark she made.
"sorry."
Lowering her head, Ling Rui said apologetically. This was truly a huge mistake on her part. Even if it was just a casual remark, she should have made it clear to Mu Qingyun.
"It's alright, it's not too bad." Mu Qingyun naturally saw Ling Rui's frustration and apology at this moment, and immediately comforted her: "After all, only Christensen knows right now, and the king trusts you no less than he trusts him."
“But the Kresen family’s power is complicated, and since he knows…” Ling Rui didn’t finish her sentence. She did have influence with the king, so the king trusted her.
But the king's trust can only protect her; if Krissen makes trouble for Mu Qingyun, there's really nothing she can do.
“If it really comes to that, just abandon me.” Mu Qingyun understood what she meant and immediately said, “Just say that you have always suspected that I am not your cousin, and that I am an undercover agent from Capaqiong disguised as someone else.”
She lowered her eyes. Chrisson had given her three days. Regardless of whether what Chrisson said was true or whether he had the authority to deal with people, she had to go to the prison to find the undercover agent from Capação within three days.
Christon had precisely grasped her mindset, which is why he deliberately told her about the so-called three-day plan to lure the enemy.
"After that, you can continue to go out and have fun. Avoid staying at home as much as possible. Three days later, you must go to Wang and reveal my identity."
She squeezed the cup in her hand and said calmly, "Three days later, you'll say you suspect I'm not your cousin and keep me locked up at home."
"What do you mean?" Ling Rui looked at her, her hand on the sofa unconsciously clenching.
"When you bring them here to surround and kill me, you'll find that I've already run away." Mu Qingyun took a sip of the tea in her cup. Mytel's tea was still made from powder, and it tasted really bitter.
“At the very least, I have to protect you,” she said earnestly. “But Mytel’s people will inevitably become suspicious of you, and your life won’t be as easy as it was before.”
"It doesn't matter." Ling Rui smiled and said, having already prepared herself to die here when she first came to Mytel as an undercover agent.
Besides, Mu Qingyun's exposure this time was because of her; she didn't expect Mu Xueyao to be here.
Mu Qingyun stroked the patterned cup and looked at the sour tea inside.
We're in for a tough battle in the next few days.
"Tick-tock".
Suddenly, Ling Rui's phone rang.
She watched as Ling Rui opened her phone, and after a long while, she saw Ling Rui open her mouth in disbelief.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
“Mytel has already started a war with Capa Dome, and the two sides are fighting in space.” Ling Rui said, holding up her phone to show her the contents.
Mu Qingyun stared intently at the contents. A group called "Metel Successful People" was flooded with messages, including several pictures of the battle scene captured by the Sky Eye in space.
They've already started fighting.
Looking at the picture, she frowned, thought for a moment, and then suddenly looked up at Ling Rui, saying seriously, word by word, "What I just said is null and void. The day after tomorrow, you will go to King Mytel and expose me."
Time waits for no one, and things on the battlefield are always changing in an instant. She can't waste time here; she must get back quickly!
...
"Qi Luo, the last time Fan Xuan Ye contacted Yi Bei Xuan, Yi Bei Xuan asked him to find a way to kill His Majesty, and then take him to Mytel to reunite with his mother."
Su Zhou looked at Su Qiluo, who was staring blankly at a military book, and spoke softly.
He recognized the military treatise; it seemed to be one of the books he had brought back specifically for this purpose.
But how did this book end up in Qi Luo's hands?
