I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

"Brother, calming tea."

Yang Liu brought the tea into the room, placed it on the desk, then turned and left without stopping.

This was not something she should have done, but she still took on some minor chores on the grounds that she would feel uneasy if she did nothing.

The main reason was that she was really bored. In the past, when housekeeper 109 was around, she could chat with 109 to pass the time, but now that they were in a different place, she was no different from ordinary people.

However, his subordinates would bring news from time to time, which could help him kill some time. For example, the State of Wei had declared war on his country just because the princess had escaped. He suspected that it was intentional and he did not want to maintain the relationship between the two countries.

However, Emperor Liu Yuanjing heard another version, which said that Wei State only used the excuse to start a war and the princess had been killed by them long ago.

Of course, this version was revealed to Liu Jinyuan and spread by people around her at the instruction of Yang Liu.

What they want is for the two countries to go to war, fish in troubled waters, and the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman gains. This is also how the original story goes.

Now that the time for the gate to the world to open is getting closer and closer, if nothing unexpected happens, the Yu family should have given up on her. She can finally concentrate on accompanying Liu Jinyuan in his career.

As for cultivating immortality, let’s talk about it next time.

……

Yang Liu followed Liu Jinyuan like a small transparent person all the way south to the imperial capital. Along the way, his power continued to grow, and he had more and more people under his command, including various heroes and refugees.

They think that the fishermen benefit from it, and so do others.

Foreign enemies invaded and internal strife continued. The Emperor Liu Yuanjing disappeared and the princes fought to the death. The eldest prince, who had no chance to play, died on the battlefield. The second and third princes died in the struggle. The fourth prince Liu Chaohe ascended to the throne and became the only winner.

Along the way, Liu Jinyuan also witnessed the common people who were suffering from internal and external troubles. It was really shocking. She grew up very fast and seemed to have the potential to be a leader. From being ignorant and at a loss at the beginning to being able to handle things with ease now, Yang Liu was amazed.

"Brother, we will arrive in Kyoto in two days. With so many of us, it would be a bit too conspicuous. Should we split up the people or just start the fight as soon as we get there?"

Yang Liu was grinding ink for Liu Jinyuan while mumbling to herself. Liu Jinyuan had gotten used to her intentional or unintentional whispering in his ear, so he just glanced at her and said lightly.

"Let's talk again."

In the past six months, Liu Jinyuan's growth rate has reached an astonishing level. Sometimes Yang Liu would wonder whether the Liu Jinyuan in front of her had been replaced by the empress in the original text.

Among them, Liu Jinyuan seemed to have discovered some clues. Someone seemed to be leading her along this path, and it was very likely the person she had been thinking about day and night in the imperial capital.

The obvious outpouring of resources did not blind Liu Jinyuan's eyes and make her arrogant. It seemed that all this was a long-planned situation, just waiting for her to stir up the situation. She couldn't tell what she felt, she was just a little worried, afraid that she was not good enough and could not meet the standards of that person. She was eager to complete the task she gave her, and then ask her if she met her expectations of her.

She is no longer the ignorant little girl.

……

When the news of the real person in power in the imperial city reached Liu Jinyuan's ears, her expression was full of surprise. She never thought that her fourth brother, who seemed so unreliable and with whom she had been living day and night, would stand out and become the real winner.

Yang Liu was also confused, as she had not received any news at all.

When returning to the palace, Liu Jinyuan only brought two attendants and did not bring Yang Liu. Yang Liu was naturally happy about this. After retiring successfully, she should return to her identity and perform her role.

Returning to the familiar yet unfamiliar Half Moon Building, Butler 109 was waiting for her.

[Host, you are finally back.] 109's voice was calm and there seemed to be no fluctuations.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Yang Liu nodded, took off her disguise, burned incense, bathed, and tidied herself up. She was now the second princess who lived in the deep palace in place of her sister, not the little maid Yang Liu who followed Liu Jinyuan.

"What's going on in the palace? How did the fourth prince become the emperor?" Yang Liu let the palace servants clean up and dress her while communicating with the housekeeper in the system to understand the situation.

[Not long after the host left, the war had just begun, and the fourth prince's mother, Concubine Xian, poisoned the emperor. Now the emperor's body is probably still in the dark room of the emperor's bedroom. ]

"How dare she do that?" Yang Liu frowned. She had never expected that the person who did that would be Concubine Xian.

[The virtuous concubine is a descendant of a princess from the previous dynasty, and has been planning in secret for decades.] 109 conveyed the currently known information to Yang Liu in a concise manner.

'No one doubts?'

[Ye Cheng helped her. ]

"Ye Cheng?!" Yang Liu was totally surprised when this person's name came out.

"It's really cruel. Thanks to this move, the war has been accelerated to such an extent."

"Forget it, Jin Yuan should be here soon, I have to go pick her up."

Before Yang Liu stepped out of her palace, she saw Liu Chaohe, who had been waiting for a long time, at the palace gate. He was dressed in a yellow and black dragon robe, with a handsome face. At the age of sixteen, he was more than a head taller than Yang Liu. He still had a smile on his face, and his gentle look was accompanied by a hint of asking for a beating.

"Third sister, please let me wait. If you are any slower, I will have to go first. The second sister has returned to the palace alive and is waiting for us to pick her up."

Yang Liu now looked at Liu Chaohe and could not associate him with the man with a not very good brain before. Thinking of Ye Cheng who helped them, Yang Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, suppressed his impatience, pretended to be fine, and asked in a calm tone.

"How did my brother know? Did my sister deliver the letter?"

Liu Chaohe stared at Yang Liu to observe her reaction, but he just chuckled and raised his eyebrows to ask, "Is there anything under the emperor's feet that I don't know?"

"Royal brother, what you said makes sense. Let's go. Don't keep me waiting for too long." Yang Liu was too lazy to continue pretending to be nice to the boy in front of her. She took the lead and walked ahead without paying any attention to him.

She miscalculated, she never thought that she could act, Concubine Xian could act, and Liu Chaohe could act even better, and they fooled everyone.

Yang Liu walked in front, and Liu Chaohe followed behind her, step by step. When Yang Liu couldn't see, Liu Chaohe's eyes seemed to have hands and were glued to Yang Liu, as if he wanted to stare a hole in her back.

Yang Liu felt creepy. She could vaguely sense that something was wrong with Liu Chaohe, but she didn't know where to start. She could only rub her arms secretly and pretend to be calm.

Yang Liu stood behind the palace gate, and the heavy wooden door slowly opened. Liu Jinyuan, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared in front of the two of them again. Yang Liu was finally able to greet her openly and give a big hug to this sister who had suffered a lot outside, and couldn't wait to express her longing for her.
