Emperor Xia: "Prepare a banquet and invite Princess Yongkang to the Lotus Fragrance Hall."

The chief eunuch said: "Princess Yongkang, please come this way."

Liu Jiaojiao followed Xiao Yunzi out of the imperial study and soon arrived at the Lotus Fragrance Hall.

The chief eunuch said: "Princess Yongkang, please take a rest first."

Liu Jiaojiao hummed and sat on a chair beside her.

Liu Jiaojiao's peeping skills locked onto the eldest prince and Xia Zhenqi.

Emperor Xia knocked on the eldest prince and asked him to leave. Then he closed the door of the imperial study and walked behind the screen.

Behind the screen are bookshelves on three walls, and there is a person standing in front of the bookshelves.

Emperor Xia walked to the bookshelf, took a book, and changed its position. The bookshelf moved and a gap appeared next to it.

Emperor Xia pulled out a rope from the gap and pulled it hard. The bookshelf turned completely to 90 degrees. There was actually a stone door behind the bookshelf. Emperor Xia pushed the door open and entered.

Inside the door was a staircase leading downwards. Emperor Xia picked up a fire starter on the wall, blew it up, and walked down for about half a minute. The ground became flat, so Emperor Xia lit the candle on the table and picked up a box from the shelf next to it. Inside the box was the imperial edict.

Emperor Xia burned the imperial edict, then ground some ink, opened a new imperial edict, and began to write.

The general meaning is to confer the title of King Mo on the eldest prince, and grant him the Lindong County and fifteen surrounding counties.

Lindong County is the southernmost county of the Great Xia Kingdom, very far away from the imperial city.

Xia Zhenqi sighed and said, "I hope this can save your life."

Xia Zhenqi took out the jade seal from his bosom and stamped it.

Xia Zhenqi rolled up the imperial edict, put it back into the box, and then returned to the imperial study.

The imperial study had been cleaned up, and there was no sign of what had happened just now, except that a jade pen holder was missing from the table.

Emperor Xia called Xiao Yunzi and went to the Hexiang Palace.

Soon, Xia Zhenqi arrived and the food was served. Xia Zhenqi asked Xiao Yunzi to go out and closed the door.

Xia Zhenqi: "Princess Yongkang, please enjoy your meal. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Liu Jiaojiao hummed and moved her chopsticks.

The two ate in silence for a while.

Xia Zhenqi: "Princess Yongkang, I have already abolished the imperial decree to establish Ming'er as the new emperor. What do you think?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "What does this have to do with me?"

Xia Zhenqi: "I want to hear Princess Yongkang's opinion. Who should I make the new king?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "I don't know. I don't know your children. Your eldest daughter is okay. She admitted her mistakes in a good manner today."

Xia Zhenqi: "Princess Yongkang thinks Rao'er can take on the important task?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "I don't know. Who knows if your daughter wants to be the emperor? I also don't know if your daughter is capable of managing the country. You can't let her manage the country every day by admitting her mistakes just because she has a good attitude?"

Xia Zhenqi: "I would like to ask Princess Yongkang to choose the next new ruler for me."

Liu Jiaojiao: "I choose for you? Why? I'm not your family's imperial teacher. I'm a princess from a neighboring country. Do you think it's okay for a princess from a neighboring country to interfere in your country's political affairs? If it gets out that my dad beats me up, will you take the beating for me? Besides, if you let me choose for you, I won't benefit from it after I choose, so I won't do it for nothing."

Xia Zhenqi: "One hundred gold."

Liu Jiaojiao: "I haven't given you the thousand gold you just mentioned. It's just empty talk. Besides, if I choose you, will you listen to me? If you don't listen, then my choice is in vain, right? I choose Zhang San, but you let Li Si ascend the throne. Do you think I will be angry? Will I beat you up?"

Xia Zhenqi: "This... Let me think about it for a few more days. The drought issue..."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Give me money and I'll look at your Feng Shui. The palace is 500 gold, and the prince's mansion and princess's mansion are 100 gold each. It's voluntary. If you don't want to see it, you don't have to."

Xia Zhenqi: "Okay, Xiao Yunzi."

The eunuch pushed the door open and walked in.

The chief eunuch: "Your Majesty."

Xia Zhenqi: "Go and get the silver note for 1,500 gold."

Chief eunuch: "Yes."

The chief eunuch went out again.

Soon, the eunuch came back with the silver bills.

Xia Zhenqi: "Princess Yongkang, please accept it."

Liu Jiaojiao: "What do you want the money for?"

Xia Zhenqi: "As mentioned in the Imperial Study, I will pay one thousand gold coins for my crime and five hundred gold coins for the palace feng shui."

Liu Jiaojiao took the banknote and said, "Okay, I'll show it to you after dinner. Say hello to the Imperial Guards."

Xia Zhenqi: "Xiao Yunzi, tell the commander of the imperial guards that Princess Yongkang wants to climb the palace walls and gates to check the feng shui. No one is allowed to stop her. Those who violate the rules will be thrown into prison."

Chief eunuch: "Yes."

Liu Jiaojiao looked at the sky and quickened her eating pace.

Liu Jiaojiao finished her meal, wiped her mouth, and said, "Your secret guard is useless, how about changing someone else to monitor me?"

Xia Zhenqi: "No need. I will arrange a guard to guard the palace gate. Princess Yongkang can ask the guard to convey anything, or she can go directly to the palace."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Okay, there's something wrong with your order, and she didn't understand it, so I won't pay for her medical expenses. Although her wrist bones are all broken, and her arm bones are also broken, this is the price of attacking me. I'm doing this because she is your secret guard, otherwise she would have ended up like your eldest son's Deadpool."

Xia Zhenqi: "Princess Yongkang is right. I am too embarrassed to ask Princess Yongkang for medical expenses."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Help me know where the palace is and what's on the wall. I'll check the Feng Shui for you now."

Xia Zhenqi: "Okay, Xiao Yunzi, call Qi Anlian over."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Who? What for?"

Xia Zhenqi: "Commander of the Imperial Guard."

Liu Jiaojiao hummed, and said as she walked out, "See you at the palace gate."

Liu Jiaojiao walked all the way to the palace gate, where the commander of the imperial guards was already waiting there.

The commander of the Imperial Guard bowed and said, "I am Qi Anlian, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and I respectfully welcome Princess Yongkang."

Liu Jiaojiao nodded, used some force and climbed directly onto the wall of the palace gate. Qi Anlian followed.

Liu Jiaojiao's mind moved, and a compass appeared in her hand.

Liu Jiaojiao held a compass and walked along the palace wall, asking who the masters of each palace were.

Liu Jiaojiao actually found a place where evil spirits gathered.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Let's seal this palace and don't take the things inside."

Qi Anlian: "Why is that?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "A place where evil gathers, whoever lives there will be unlucky. Everyone inside should be sent to a place with incense and popularity for two days to get rid of the evil spirit. A Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple will do. Go there at noon, and after dark, find a crowded place to stay, such as an inn, a restaurant, or someone else's palace."

Qi Anlian nodded.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Go report to Emperor Xia and ask someone to escort me out of the palace."

Qi Anlian: "Yes, Princess Yongkang, this way please."

Liu Jiaojiao left the palace in a sedan chair and returned to the inn.

Liu Jiaojiao took out some unpackaged snacks from the grocery store and started eating them by herself.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Tongzi, the Emperor of Xia is in that secret room today and is considered to be deposed, right? Will Wen Yingru know about this?"

System: "Yes, because her progress will be reset to zero."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Let's see what she will do. What will happen if she doesn't steal the country's destiny or fails to steal it?"

System: "If you exceed the time limit and leave the world, there may be a penalty or price."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Replay for me Wen Yingru's thoughts after Emperor Xia abolished the crown prince."

System: "Okay."

Liu Jiaojiao was eating snacks while listening to Wen Yingru's thoughts. When she heard Wen Yingru find out that Liu Jiaojiao's progress was reset after she had a fight with Yu Shufang and she began to plan to get rid of Liu Jiaojiao, Liu Jiaojiao knew that this person was hopeless.

Liu Jiaojiao used her peeping skills to see the situation in the eldest prince's mansion, including the distribution of servants and the layout of the houses. She also planned an escape route and then fell asleep.

midnight.

Liu Jiaojiao opened her eyes and glanced at Wen Yingru using her peeping skill.

Wen Yingru slept alone and did not sleep with the eldest prince. Although Liu Jiaojiao was a little confused, she did not delve into the reason.

Liu Jiaojiao changed her clothes, covered her face, and became invisible before teleporting directly to Wen Yingru's room.

Liu Jiaojiao's mind moved, and a bottle and a piece of cloth appeared in her hand.

Liu Jiaojiao held her breath, poured some liquid from the bottle onto the cloth, then put away the bottle, lifted her invisibility, and directly covered Wen Yingru's mouth and nose with the cloth.

Wen Yingru fainted before she even had time to open her eyes.

Liu Jiaojiao used modern drugs, which she got from the previous world.

Liu Jiaojiao sat beside Wen Yingru's bed and took out some herbs. With a thought, the herbs in her hand disappeared and a pill appeared.

Liu Jiaojiao directly used the alchemy room in the system space to refine the Soul-Separation Pill, which can allow the soul to leave the body.

Liu Jiaojiao pried open Wen Yingru's mouth, fed the pill into her, pressed Wen Yingru's acupoints, and Wen Yingru immediately started swallowing.

Liu Jiaojiao opened her Yin-Yang eyes and watched the two souls float out of Wen Yingru's body.

Liu Jiaojiao made a hand gesture instantly, and the two souls were bound before they could react.

Liu Jiaojiao's mind moved, and the spiritual power in her body burst out, forming a barrier in an instant.

Liu Jiaojiao looked at the two souls and said, "I will ask a question. Whoever can answer it will live."

Liu Jiaojiao: "What time is it, Ding Mao year, Ding Wei month, Xin You day, 15 minutes?"

Liu Jiaojiao stared at the two souls intently. One of the souls was brighter, and the other was darker. One had a look of fear, and the other had a look of confusion.

Wen Yingru's voice suddenly rang in Liu Jiaojiao's ears.

Wen Yingru: "System, system."

Liu Jiaojiao looked at the panicked soul, made a hand gesture, and the soul disappeared.

Liu Jiaojiao made another hand gesture and another soul returned to her body.

Liu Jiaojiao's mind moved, and a pill appeared in her hand. Liu Jiaojiao stuffed it into Wen Yingru's mouth.

Liu Jiaojiao put the key and address of the private residence given by the second prince in Wen Yingru's quilt, removed the barrier, and returned to the inn invisibly.

Liu Jiaojiao cancelled her invisibility and continued to sleep.

The next morning, Liu Jiaojiao opened her eyes and used her peeping skill to take a look at Wen Yingru.

Wen Yingru had already gotten up and was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, holding the key and address that Liu Jiaojiao had left last night.

The system suddenly said, "Host, why didn't you tell me which soul was the traverser? Aren't you afraid of destroying the real Wen Yingru?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Can you also provide appraisal services? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

System: "You didn't ask."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Can you tell me in advance next time? Don't you know I'm making pills?"

System: “You didn’t ask.”

Liu Jiaojiao: "What did you ask just now? How can I be sure which one is real and which one is fake, right? You said before that the real one was strong and the fake one was weak, and then the fake one became stronger. Yesterday, the fake one's progress was reset to zero, but she wouldn't become weak instantly. The strong one, the one who panicked, must be, you saw those two souls yesterday, right? The weak one was almost transparent, so it must be the real one."

System: "Okay, host is really smart. Host, can we make a deal?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "You say."

System: "I will make divination a permanent skill for you, regardless of whether you have a perfect rating or not, but after you leave this world, you will help with a random task, okay?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "I am quite confident in the perfect review. Can you exchange it for something else?"

System: "Then what do you want, host?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "How to make a storage ring."

System: "Deal, but your fictional skill must be divination."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Okay, can you give me another chemical laboratory with a full set of instruments and instructions for use? Can I take it away and have a look at the evaluation? I want to study other plants when I go back. Jiang Chuan's method is a bit slow."

System: "Okay."

Liu Jiaojiao saw Wen Yingru suddenly move.

Wen Yingru called a maid to help her dress up.

Liu Jiaojiao went downstairs to order a breakfast and asked the waiter to bring it to her room.

A man suddenly stepped forward, bowed to Liu Jiaojiao, and said, "Princess Yongkang, I am the imperial guard Qin Yuxing, and I am honored to meet your Highness."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Oh, you are responsible for delivering messages, right?"

Qin Yuxing: "Yes, I will be at the gate of the palace. If you have anything, you can ask someone to call me. I will be on duty at the gate of the palace."

Liu Jiaojiao: “Got it.”

Liu Jiaojiao returned to her room and the waiter quickly brought her breakfast.

Liu Jiaojiao used her peeping skills to look at Wen Yingru while eating breakfast.

Wen Yingru combed her hair, changed her clothes, took a maid with her, and went out.

Liu Jiaojiao also finished her breakfast and handed the tableware to the waiter.

Liu Jiaojiao watched Wen Yingru go to several shops and buy some things. Then she asked the maid to wait while Wen Yingru went out from the back door of a shop.

Wen Yingru walked to the address on the note and confirmed at the door before unlocking it and entering the yard.

Liu Jiaojiao changed into men's clothes, covered her face and head, leaving only her eyes exposed, and then teleported to the second prince's private residence.

Wen Yingru walked into the main room and felt that no one seemed to live there. Wen Yingru was about to go to the back, but Liu Jiaojiao appeared in an instant and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm here."

Wen Yingru turned to look at Liu Jiaojiao, bowed, and said, "May I ask if you were the one who saved me last night?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Yes, it's me."

Wen Yingru: "Thank you, Lord."

Liu Jiaojiao: "I just want to ask you one question, what are your plans for the future?"

Wen Yingru: "I... I haven't thought about it. What do you think, benefactor?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "I can't say I have an opinion, just give some suggestions, but I won't interfere. We'll divorce amicably."

Wen Yingru: "Well... OK, I'll go back to the mansion to pack my things, but I don't know how much of my dowry is left, so I can't go back to the Wenguo Mansion."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Why do you want to go back? Starting your own business is not a bad choice."

Wen Yingru: "This..."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Miss Wen has feelings for Xia Weiming, right? You can take advantage of this."

Wen Yingru: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your kindness, sir. What can I do to repay you?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "No, I didn't come here for you. If you want to repeat the path of Lady Wen, I won't interfere."

Wen Yingru bowed and said, "Thank you, sir. May I ask your name?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "It's better not to tell you, it will scare you. Just live your own life, it's better than anything else. You don't have to look for me. I rented this house. Put down the key and the note, and let's go."

Wen Yingru bowed and said, "Farewell, benefactor."
