The female cannon fodder in the book, the villain instantly turned into a pitiful and coquettish gir

The news of Liu Yaoyao and Ling Chenyu's return spread faster than children flying kites in spring.

In the blink of an eye, the news spread to every corner of the capital.

Even His Majesty Ling Muxiao, who was "temporarily residing" in the palace and enjoying the various functions of the dragon throne, received this explosive gossip at the first opportunity.

He slapped his thigh, so anxiously, and immediately entered the "emergency assembly" mode.

He summoned his think tank - Prime Minister Wen, Shangshu Zhou, and Xie Zhiqian, who was always three parts cunning and seven parts wit.

These three people are simply the "F4" on his road to usurping the throne, oh no, the "Iron Triangle"!

As soon as Prime Minister Wen entered the room, his steps were as brisk as if he was on a Hot Wheels.

He asked nervously, "My dear son-in-law, I heard that Ling Chenyu brought Liu Yaoyao back? Is this true? Is it just a rumor?"

Ling Muxiao raised a meaningful smile and nodded.

The expression on his face seemed to say, "You know my intelligence network, it's awesome!"

When Prime Minister Wen heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. The light was so bright that it could illuminate the entire study, as if he had discovered a new world.

"Oh, this is going to be exciting. We have to plan carefully and not let that kid and his goblins ruin our plans!"

Minister Zhou was not to be outdone. He stroked his carefully groomed beard with a serious look on his face.

"Humph, Ling Chenyu is nothing to be afraid of. But Liu Yaoyao, that girl, is said to be very capable, so we have to be careful."

Xie Zhiqian coughed lightly, fanned himself and spoke slowly.

Just the tone is more attractive than that of a storyteller.

"Don't worry, my lords. Why don't we have a 'welcome ceremony'? It will not only show our generosity, but also test our sincerity. Isn't that wonderful?"

Ling Muxiao's eyes lit up and he patted Xie Zhiqian on the shoulder.

"Haha, you understand my heart the best! Come on, let's discuss a 'welcome banquet' and make sure they feel the warmth of home as soon as they arrive. Oh no, the 'warmth' of the palace!"

The study was suddenly filled with laughter and occasional plots. The atmosphere was as warm as eating hot pot in the summer, so hot and scorching.

Prime Minister Wen proposed.

"Let's hold a grand banquet and invite all the dignitaries in the city. Let them show up in front of many people and see how they can play tricks!"

Minister Zhou added.

"Arrange a few more 'loyal' guards to inadvertently leak some information to let them know that this palace is not a place where they can come and go as they please."

Xie Zhiqian smiled even more cunningly.

"Don't forget, we can also prepare some 'surprises', such as the sudden appearance of an 'assassin', to test their ability to respond, and by the way, see if Ling Chenyu is really capable."

Ling Muxiao listened and laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He thought:

This group of people is really my lucky star!

A welcoming ceremony full of "love" has quietly taken shape amidst laughter and joy, waiting for the "star-crossed couple" to step into the palace, where they will be greeted with an unprecedented "warm welcome"!

Ling Muxiao decided that this "welcome ceremony" must not only be grand but also interesting, so as to let Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao know that there is a lot of secrets in this palace!

"We have to make good arrangements to make this banquet an unforgettable memory for them."

There was a sinister light flashing in Ling Muxiao's eyes, and he seemed to have seen the shocked and helpless expressions of Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao.

Humph, now that the throne has been given to him, no one can take it away!

Prime Minister Wen immediately agreed.

"Yes, yes, yes, we need to let that brat know that this palace is not the free and easy little palace he used to live in. There are many rules and regulations. Let's see how he responds!"

Minister Zhou put forward more specific suggestions.

"We can arrange some talent shows at the banquet, and have a few palace maids deliberately 'accidentally' trip Liu Yaoyao to see if she is really that smart."

But his eyes said: I must find a few powerful ones to trip her up!

Xie Zhiqian smiled slightly and added.

"You can also arrange a 'treasure hunt game' and set up some secret corners of the palace as treasure points for them to find. This will not only test their wisdom, but also allow them to gain a deeper understanding of the palace."

When Ling Muxiao heard this, his eyes brightened.

"Good idea! However, we need to think carefully about the prizes for this 'treasure hunt game'. We need to make them excited while letting them know that these prizes are not easy to obtain."

So, the four of them began to discuss the setting of the prizes enthusiastically. From precious jewels to rare medicinal herbs, to certain privileges of the palace, each one was full of temptation.

"We can also set up a 'special prize', which is to let them make a wish. As long as it is not excessive, we can fulfill it." Ling Muxiao became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had already seen the surprised and happy expressions of Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao.

Prime Minister Wen, Minister Zhou, and Xie Zhiqian all nodded, thinking that this idea was both interesting and generous, and could also demonstrate the royal style.

"However, the clues for this 'treasure hunt' must be carefully designed so that they can find it but not too easily."

Xie Zhiqian reminded.

"Yes, yes, yes. We have to make them work harder so that it will appear that the treasures of our palace are not so easy to get."

Ling Muxiao smiled even more cunningly.

After a while, the four began to carefully plan every detail of this "treasure hunt game", from the setting of clues to the distribution of prizes, all of which were full of ingenuity and fun.

However, Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao were still unaware that they were about to step into a conspiracy.

After some secret planning by Ling Muxiao and his companions, they finally finalized the "brilliant" plan.

They looked at each other, their eyes flashing with cunning, as if a group of foxes were planning some unspeakable secret in the dense forest.

Then, Ling Muxiao waved his hand and said solemnly, "You guys, retreat quickly and follow the plan. Don't make any mistakes!"

Several people took the order and left, their steps as brisk as birds just released from a cage.

Ling Muxiao looked at their receding figures, a meaningful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

There was a mixture of viciousness and cunning in his eyes, like a shrewd cat staring at a mouse about to fall into a trap.

"Hehe, this throne is like a fish under a cat's claws. Now that you are in my territory, you still want to run away? No way!"

Ling Muxiao muttered to himself as he paced and involuntarily walked towards the highest point of the palace.

Standing at the highest point of the palace, Ling Muxiao gazed into the distance. The breeze blew by, and his robe fluttered in the wind, giving him a domineering look as if he was "looking down on all the mountains".

However, this domineering attitude was mixed with a bit of complacency and cunning, as if he had already foreseen the various embarrassments that Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao would face in this "treasure hunt game".

"Haha, Ling Chenyu, ah Ling Chenyu, you're going to fall flat on your face this time! And that Liu Yaoyao, humph, wait and see how I'll let you perform a 'surprise show' in the palace!"

When Ling Muxiao thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh so hard that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.

As he laughed, he rehearsed in his mind the various scenes that were about to happen.

Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao looked at those sudden "surprises" in astonishment, then shook their heads helplessly and smiled bitterly.

He stood aside, admiring his own masterpiece with pride, as if he was watching a free comedy show.

"Humph, the throne? Humph, you want it? No way! When you are on my territory, you have to follow my rules!"

Ling Muxiao talked to himself, his eyes full of confidence and pride.

He seemed to be eager to see the embarrassments of Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao in this "treasure hunt game".

However, he didn't know that Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao were not ordinary people either.

They had already noticed Ling Muxiao's conspiracy and had secretly prepared to deal with it.

After learning the news about the "treasure hunt game", Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao smiled at each other, with wisdom and courage shining in their eyes.

"Humph, Ling Muxiao, this cunning guy, wants to give us a head start? No way! We have to plan carefully how to give him a 'surprise counterattack' in this game!"

Ling Chenyu said with a smile.

Liu Yaoyao also nodded, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We can use our wisdom and tacit understanding to crack his plot and catch him off guard!"

The two of them started to make plans.

After some discussion, they decided to use Ling Muxiao's "treasure hunt game" to counter him.

They secretly investigated the topography and layout of the palace and made a detailed plan.

They decided to pretend to be trapped by Ling Muxiao's "surprise" in the game, and then take the opportunity to fight back, so that Ling Muxiao would also have a taste of what it felt like to "shoot himself in the foot".
