The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Unexpectedly, the old man dodged lightly, and no matter how Xu Yao attacked, he could not touch the corner of his clothes. Instead, Xu Yao himself was so tired that he could only gasp for breath.

She sat on the ground in anger, "No more beatings, sir, I surrender to you, okay?"

I just wanted to test the other party's skills, but I didn't expect that this old man was so capable.

"Little girl, how about you practice Taoism with me? I promise that with your aptitude, you will soon be able to break through the bottleneck and become an immortal."

"You are so powerful, why haven't you become an immortal yet?" Xu Yao would not be fooled.

The old Taoist priest was choked and said stubbornly: "I still lack an opportunity to become an immortal. When I saw you today, I knew you were my opportunity."

Xu Yao glared: "What are you looking at? I don't play any weird Taoist magic."

The old Taoist priest also had a headache. This girl was really weird. Her mind was a mess and he didn't know how she would grow up. She had all kinds of weird ideas.

"Forget it. The opportunity has not yet come. I will wait for a while. When the time comes, you will come to find me." After saying this, he disappeared like a gust of wind.

When Xu Yao was blown by the cold wind, he found that he was still sitting in the same seat. The wontons in his bowl were not missing at all. The diners at the stall were eating quietly. The boss was making wontons and the proprietress was wrapping them nearby.

Xu Yao was confused. Did he see a ghost just now?

After eating the wontons, Xu Yao went back and had a long dream. In the dream, she was planting trees. She didn’t know what kind of trees they were, but she had to dig holes for them. When daybreak came, she only remembered that she had been digging holes all night in her dream.

She got up lazily, and Chef Zhao asked Quan'er to bring her a bowl of hot water to make eggs, saying that she had been frightened yesterday and needed some nourishment.

Xu Yao didn't like it very much, so she drank a few sips reluctantly and gave the rest to Quan'er. She packed up and got up to go to work. Liu Moyan asked her to find out about the Pei family as soon as possible.

Xu Yao took the opportunity to go outside for some fresh air, eating while walking, feeling very comfortable. When she stood by the roadside to buy some buns, she saw a lot of policemen walking in a hurry, and soon she saw soldiers running by aggressively.

She heard people talking about how bandits appeared in the city and the family of the Minister of War was wiped out.

Xu Yao thought of the man in black he met yesterday, and heard about the family annihilation case today. It didn't sound like a simple case and they were probably related.

She wandered outside for the whole morning and went back slowly after lunch. As soon as she arrived at Liu Moyan's yard, Liu Moyan drove away the maids and asked Xu Yao to talk behind closed doors.

Chunyu looked calm, but Chunlan looked curious and wanted to eavesdrop. Xu Yao stood at the door and said, "The young lady has made new clothes. Go to the sewing room and ask if the clothes are ready. She is in a hurry to wear them."

Chunlan was a little unhappy. They were all maids. Why did she order her around? Chunyu knew what she was saying and hurriedly pulled Chunlan away.

After the others left, Xu Yao did not close the door. He walked up to Liu Moyan and whispered about Pei Yi's situation.

"You mean, she's pretending to be sick at home?"

Xu Yao nodded, but Liu Moyan was shocked. She was pretending to be sick. Yes, Pei Yi was the daughter of a general. How could she be frightened so easily? How could she forget that she grew up on the border and had seen many fierce enemies there?

If that's the case, then Pei Yi's illness in her previous life was also fake? And the pearl crown incident was also a cover-up?

Liu Moyan suddenly felt cheated. How could this be? She had been making plans for her secretly, but she was completely fine.

Seeing that Liu Moyan looked strange, Xu Yao thought for a moment and said, "From what I heard from the Pei family, they seem to be worried about those men in black coming for revenge, so they pretend to be sick to avoid unnecessary investigations. Madam, I think it would be better for our family to pretend to be sick as well."

Liu Moyan still didn't know why her sister and the others were being hunted. Xu Yao leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words in detail. Liu Moyan was immediately terrified.

"Are you going after the Third Prince?"

This was a major plot to murder the prince, no wonder the Pei family wanted to avoid the limelight. She immediately understood why Zhang suddenly sent two maids over and didn't allow them to go out. That's why.

She immediately forgot about Pei Yi's pretending to be sick, and was only panicked in her heart. Not long after she got married in her previous life, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was confiscated, and she was exiled with him. She suffered a lot in just half a year, and finally died tragically after being unable to bear the humiliation. She didn't understand many things much better than others.

She only knew that if she still wanted to be with Pei Shuo, she must find a way to prevent the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion from being plotted against and ending up with the property confiscated and the mansion exiled.

Liu Moyan began to think back to what happened in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and what was wrong, but all she could remember were the things that happened between her and Pei Shuo, and how she was trying to outshine Liu Qingwan, and even the fact that she attended the banquet outside.

Liu Moyan was anxious and angry, but had no one to talk to, and she actually had a fever again.

The doctor came to see her and said that she was afraid and worried. He prescribed some medicine and told her to have a good rest.

Zhang felt sorry for her daughters. Originally, these maids had made great contributions in protecting their masters and should have been rewarded. However, because the two young ladies were not in good health, the rewards were withheld.

Chunlan and Chunyu were vying to show off, and Xu Yao took the opportunity to hide away and take a rest.

Seeing her lying on a chair in the sun, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but come over and scold her: "You are so confused. Now is the time to show off. You are not injured, so why don't you show off."

Xu Yao said coquettishly: "Godmother, I feel bad too. I was also frightened. I also need to have a good rest."

"Rest for nothing. If you continue to rest, those two girls will push you away. Do you want to go back to the kitchen and be a fire-making girl?"

"The fire-making girl is pretty good and very comfortable." Xu Yao really thought so. In her previous life, she was full of intrigue and had to guard not only against living people, but also against zombies and mutant monsters. It was so miserable.

Nowadays, life is so carefree as you can just spend money.

Even if the money is less, it's okay.

Chef Zhao had no choice but to give her some chicken soup, but she felt sorry for her, so she went back to work.

Xu Yao rested for a few days, and Liu Moyan's condition improved. She lost a lot of weight and her baby fat disappeared. She called Xu Yao back and rewarded her with 100 taels of silver for the Taoist temple, and also gave her a few gold-plated pearl hairpins.

"Ayao, I only trust you now. Can you help me find out who assassinated the third prince?"

Xu Yao was stunned for a moment. This girl was just like a nine-headed monster. She didn't even know her own weight and looked down on the servants around her.

Her current identity is just a fire-making girl. Asking her to find out this kind of information is no different from asking her to kill Sun Wukong and snatch Tang Sanzang.

Isn't this the boss forcing his employees to spend tens of thousands of dollars to invite the movie queen to sing, dance and drink with him?

You can really think about it.

"My dear, this..."

"I know this is difficult to handle. You...you go to Mingqianlou. There is a lot of information there. You go find a man called Ma Sanye. He knows a lot of people from all walks of life. You can find a solution from him."

Xu Yao couldn't help but said, "Young lady, such a person would not give the news for nothing."
