With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

In the following days, Xiao Qianqian completely understood the usefulness of his super cave.

To put it simply, this cave is a multi-functional space, and the time in the nine-story tower is still.

The speed of time flow outside the tower is also different from that in the outside world.

In this space, ten days on the land and in the bamboo house is equal to one day in the real world.

The land in the space can not only be used for planting, but also for raising living things when the space is fully restored in the future, but humans cannot enter.

The spring water in the bamboo house cannot be drunk but it can nourish the land and bring new life to the dead land.

So, since waking up, Qianqian would run to the lotus pond whenever she had nothing to do. Following Tongzi's instructions, she reached her little hand into the lotus pond and collected the pond water into the space.

The spring water was then merged into the pond water in the space, and then began to irrigate the land, the tower, and the dead tree in the space.

Qianqian was held by Dahua, with her little hands in the lotus pond. [Tongzi, are you sure you can keep that tree alive? What is its use?]

[That’s a big help,] the system was very proud, [Eating the fruit from that tree not only increases your physical strength but also makes you immune to all poisons. With this tree, I don’t need to awaken skills related to improving my physical fitness.]

【Oh,】 Xiao Qianqian opened his eyes wide, 【Then you have to take good care of it.】

After she had finally watered the entire space, Concubine Luo also arrived at Fengqi Palace. She bowed respectfully to the queen.

Dahua also took Qianqian back to the queen. Qianqian looked at Lady Luo who was slightly lowering her head.

[Tongzi, has Lady Luo given up on killing my father? ]

[Uh,] The system is helpless, [Not yet.]

[Then can you contact the mind-reading system? Ask it to persuade its host as soon as possible. ]

[Little princess, the systems can only communicate with each other when they devour each other.]

【Oh, never mind.】

The Queen looked at Lady Luo and chuckled, "The weather is nice today, and many flowers are blooming in the Imperial Garden. If Lady Luo has nothing to do, would you like to go with me to enjoy the flowers?"

Luo Meimei immediately stood up and replied softly, "It is my honor to accompany the Queen to appreciate the flowers."

"Okay," the Queen nodded and told Lu Qiao, "Today's lunch will be placed in the Imperial Garden. We will eat outside."

"Yes."

The Queen held Qian Qian in her left hand and Da Hua in her right hand, and the group walked slowly towards the Imperial Garden.

Luo Meimei was almost dying of nervousness, [System, what does the Queen want to do? ]

Mind-reading system, [I don't know either, sorry, my system is relatively weak, so I can't help you more. ]

【What is this nonsense?】

Luo Meimei was helpless, [Don't say that, you have helped me a lot since I came here, if it weren't for you, I don't know how many times I would have died. ]

Before they knew it, the Queen and her entourage arrived at the Imperial Garden and ran into Emperor Mingde who was walking in the garden.

Emperor Mingde glanced at Concubine Luo, secretly clenched his fists nervously, and didn't dare to think about anything else.

[System,] Luo Meimei said as she saluted the emperor, [Use today's mind-reading skills.]

【it is good. 】

[Ah, my Qianqian is so cute. Has Dahua grown taller again? Woohoo, I really want to hug my Qianyue. ]

Luo Meimei...

No, no emperor’s voice is mixed up, that’s enough.

[Alas, is there any emperor in the world as miserable as me? I am hated by my own mother, betrayed and cuckolded by my own brother, and now I am also despised by my wife. Woohoo, I don’t want to live anymore. Living is so difficult...]

Luo Meimei...

Suddenly, I felt that this emperor was indeed a bit miserable.

[Meimei,] the mind-reading system asked cautiously, [Do you still want to kill Emperor Mingde now?]

[Not sure,] Luo Meimei's voice was still cold, [Listen again.]

So, during a lunch in the Imperial Garden, Emperor Mingde thought about the country and the people's livelihood from his own tragic experience.

He then thought of Xiao Qianqian and Xiao Yun, then of his elder brother-in-law and the State of Chu, as well as the current situation in Xiliang.

For the first time, I felt that thinking was so tiring that I even lost my appetite for lunch.

After lunch, Luo Meimei took her leave.

The mind-reading system was very anxious. [Meimei, Emperor Mingde is not a bad person. It sounds like he was deceived by his mother and brother today.]

[How can there be such a family? ]

Before Luo Meimei came here, her parents and brother were very harmonious, and her family didn't have any weird relatives.

Therefore, after listening to Emperor Mingde's inner voice, I did feel quite sympathetic towards him.

Emperor Mingde followed the empress back to Fengqi Palace and wiped his forehead with his sleeve for the first time without any scruples, "Qian, Qianyue,"

He was so nervous that he almost died, and he didn't know whether he could make Lady Luo give up her murderous intention towards him today.

The queen handed him a handkerchief and said, "Your Majesty, we have done our best. Don't think too much about the rest. Just do what you should do."

Emperor Mingde took the handkerchief and nodded, "Yes, I'll listen to Qianyue."

"Your Majesty," a palace servant came to report, "Your Majesty Defei requests to see you."

"Oh?"

The Queen looked at Emperor Mingde, "Your Majesty, would you like to see Concubine De?"

"No," Emperor Mingde let out a long sigh, "I'm going back to the Imperial Study to review memorials."

Humph, he must be a wise ruler.

After Emperor Mingde left, the Queen met Chu Xinghe. She looked a little darker after not seeing her for a few days, but she looked full of energy.

Qian Qian leaned obediently beside Da Hua, drinking the water that Nanny fed him. [Tongzi, does the Chu family still have melons? ]

Chu Xinghe was talking to the Queen about the Chu family while she pricked up her ears to listen carefully to what the little princess was thinking.

[Melons, there are still some.] The system was a little surprised. [Little Princess, after my damage was repaired, the range of melons I can eat is wider. Now I know that Chu Feng and his sons are surrounded by spies sent by the State of Chu.]

【Ah?】 Qian Qian was shocked, 【Real or fake? A spy from the State of Chu?】

[Yes, those spies were specially trained since childhood and sent to Chu Feng and his sons.]

[They raise soldiers for a thousand days, but Chu's spies have been raised for decades.] The system was very emotional. [For example, the deputy general Wang Han, who grew up with Chu Feng, is the head of the spies.]

[Also, Zhang Dayi, Li Shuwen, and Zhuge Mao, one of the military advisors of the Chu family army. ]

Chu Xinghe tightly grasped the armrests of the chair, cold sweat broke out on her forehead and back, she could hardly believe her ears.

But after what happened at the General's Mansion, she had confirmed that everything the strange voice said was true.

Chu Xinghe's voice trembled a little, "My queen, I have dealt with the affairs in the capital. I want to go to the border to visit my father and brother."

Her voice was choked with sobs, and she wished she could fly to Nanye City to see her father and brothers right now.

The queen walked towards Chu Xinghe and patted her shoulder. "Go," she said softly, "Don't write to tell me some things."

Chu Xinghe looked at the queen and immediately understood what she meant. She closed her eyes bitterly and said, "Are you a spy?"

Wang Han, the deputy general who grew up with her father, is also an elder she respects.

Zhang Dayi, Li Shuwen, and Zhuge Mao were all friends who grew up with their brothers. How could they be spies?

Chu Xinghe felt sad and took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

If you think about it, what's impossible?

Their Chu family and the Chu State are at war to the death...
