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

"I guess this must be the bookworm old butler."

Zhou Hanyi thought to herself and approached him quietly.

"Ahem, young man, what are you doing in the library so late at night?"

The bookworm suddenly raised his head, with a vigilant light flashing in his cloudy eyes.

Zhou Hanyi was startled, but quickly calmed down and smiled.

"Oh, I'm a new maid. I heard that the library has a rich collection of books, so I came here to see if there are any books about the history of the palace."

The bookworm gave her a suspicious look, but didn't seem to be suspicious.

"History of the Imperial Palace? There are several books on the royal genealogy on the third shelf over there. You can go take a look."

Zhou Hanyi was delighted and was about to go forward, but then seemed to remember something and turned back to ask.

"By the way, old butler, you have been here for so many years. Have you ever heard of the forbidden area in the palace?"

When Bookworm heard this, his face suddenly changed and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

"Forbidden area? Why are you asking about this? That's not a place you can go to!"

Seeing this, Zhou Hanyi became even more certain that there must be some big secret hidden in the forbidden area.

She asked, pretending to be curious.

"I just heard that it's very mysterious, so I want to ask. Old housekeeper, do you know what is hidden there?"

The bookworm was silent for a while, as if making a difficult decision.

Finally, he sighed and spoke slowly.

"I can't tell you what's going on in the forbidden area. But I can tell you that what's hidden there is the secret of the royal family, and it's also the biggest taboo in the palace. You must not try to explore it, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

After saying that, Bookworm waved his hand, signaling Zhou Hanyi to leave.

Although Zhou Hanyi was disappointed, she knew that she couldn't force it.

She nodded, turned and left the library.

On the way back to the room, Zhou Hanyi thought to himself.

The mystery of this forbidden land is simply a suspense blockbuster that is yet to be continued.

It's even more bizarre and twisty than the soap operas she watches before going to bed, it's really addictive!

She was muttering in her heart that the direction of the plot was even more imaginative than any of the novels she had read.

Now that she has stepped into this muddy water, she has to hold on tight and find a powerful plug-in.

And Wenjie, the think tank that comes with its own BGM, is her best choice.

She squinted her eyes, ink flying, and crammed all the adventures of the day and the gossip she had heard into the message to Wenjie.

The content here is so detailed that it is simply the "Records of the Grand Historian" of the intelligence community.

After receiving the news, Wenjie immediately packaged the information and sent it to Ling Jinhan.

It was so fast, it was as if he was possessed by a courier.

Ling Jinhan was as calm as an old monk in meditation. He took the note and raised his hand gently.

The movement was so graceful that it seemed as if he was conducting a symphony, signaling Wenjie:

"Come on, brother, let's sit across from each other and talk about life."

Wenjie was so well behaved that he performed the formalities and sat down slowly, his posture as upright as if he was a candidate taking the imperial examination.

"My Lord, as soon as Prince Chen returned to the capital, the weather in our capital changed again. Although the wind is a bit strong and it gives us a headache, think about it, isn't this also a good opportunity for us to turn the tide?"

Wenjie spoke with such passion, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory beckoning to him.

Ling Jinhan calmly turned the teacup in his hand, and the tea swirled inside it like it was dancing ballet, but he didn't give him a positive response.

Wenjie was not embarrassed either. He had a strong psychological quality. After hanging out with Ling Jinhan for a long time, he had already mastered the skill of "you talk yours and I talk mine".

"Your Highness, we are now like those who are barefoot and are not afraid of those who wear shoes. We have no soldiers or generals, and there are only a handful of people who stand on our side in the court. We have to rely on ourselves to make ends meet. If we are not careful, we will have to start all over again."

Wenjie spoke so sincerely, as if he was sharing the true meaning of life.

Ling Jinhan finally nodded, a playful smile on his lips.

"Liu Jingshu, where's the little bitch? Any news about her?"

Wenjie was stunned and shook his head, his expression as if he had heard some incredible news.

"Since the last failed coup, she should have gone with you to the border to see the scenery, but in the end, there was no trace of her.

I heard that she hid in the Shiwan Mountains and fought with the savages for territory, but no one has ever seen her in person. "

"Where's Ying Dao? And where are Doctor Xiao, Shi Qianhu, Leng Ji and those followers? Where have they gone?"

Ling Jinhan asked again, his eyes gleaming with gossip.

Wenjie touched his chin, looking confused.

"Them? I heard that they changed their profession and became mountain kings in Lincheng. Your Majesty, do you suspect that they are in collusion with the princess?

This... We don't have enough manpower and our investigation capabilities are limited, so we really don't know anything about this."

After saying that, the two looked at each other, their eyes full of anticipation for the unknown plot, as if to say:

"We have to watch the next scene carefully. After all, the changes in the capital are much more exciting than those melodramas we watch!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Jinhan curled up the corner of his mouth into a meaningful smile.

There was a hint of viciousness and playfulness in the smile, just like the leisurely and contented look of a cat playing with a mouse.

"Wenjie, do you think Liu Jingshu is hiding from us on purpose, hoping to catch us off guard?"

He tapped the tabletop gently, and the rhythm was like a war drum, foreshadowing the coming storm.

When Wenjie heard this, his eyes lit up, as if he had found a new clue.

"Your Highness, now that you mention it, I think it's possible. The princess has always been thoughtful, and she might be hiding in the dark, preparing to do something big to us."

"Big? Humph, I want to see what she can do."

Ling Jinhan snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, but was immediately replaced by deeper worry.

"However, Wenjie, we can't let our guard down. Immediately send people to the Shiwandashan Mountains and Lincheng to investigate and make sure to find the whereabouts of Liu Jingshu and those people. Remember, we must do this in secret and not let anyone know."

His tone was firm, and every word he said was like a nail, driving into Wenjie's heart.

Wenjie nodded rapidly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will make arrangements right away and ensure the completion of the mission. Perhaps the princess will become our strongest helper."

After saying that, Wenjie was very excited. He stood up and said goodbye. His steps were so brisk as if he was on Hot Wheels. It was obvious that he was in a hurry to arrange the tasks.

Ling Jinhan looked at his departing back, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again, but this time, there was a hint of depth and calculation in that smile.

"Liu Jingshu, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever.

The sky of this capital city will change sooner or later, and you are the most important chess piece.

No matter where you are, I will find you, and then we will settle all the old and new scores together."

He whispered to himself, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of chill.

At this time, Zhou Hanyi was hiding in the room, practicing her "acting skills" in front of the mirror.

Sometimes she played the role of a delicate and helpless little white rabbit, and sometimes she turned into a smart and brave female detective. Her expressions changed even faster than the face-changing in Sichuan Opera.

"Hmph, Ling Jinhan, just wait and see. Now that I've been drawn into this vortex, I will never give in easily.

I will use my wisdom to uncover the secrets of the forbidden land, and let that Liu Ruyan, ah, Liu Yaoyao, know that if you steal my things, you will have to pay a price! "

She talked to herself, with a determined gleam in her eyes.

After saying that, she slapped her face to wake herself up, then picked up a pen and began to write a new letter of intelligence to Wenjie.

This time, she wants to explore the secrets of the forbidden area more deeply, and also find a way to get close to Ling Jinhan to obtain more information.

And all this is just the beginning.

The situation in the capital is quietly changing with the actions of these people.

In this game of thrones, it is really hard to say who will be the final winner.

After all, the water in this palace is so deep that even the smartest fish dare not test it easily.

Zhou Hanyi's pen tip jumps on the paper like a dancing elf, and every stroke contains her wit and determination.

She carefully wove an intelligence network, trying to capture every clue that might reveal the secrets of the forbidden area.

And at the center of this network is her - the playful concubine who calls herself the "Palace Explorer".

"Hmph, Ling Jinhan, do you think you can keep your secret? My intelligence network is spread over every corner of the palace!"

She talked to herself proudly, with a sly gleam in her eyes.

At the same time, Wenjie was leading a group of capable spies through the dense forests of the Shiwanda Mountains.
