I rely on gossip to save the country

After Xie Yunqing left the prince's room, he quietly went up to the roof, wanting to see if his sister had returned. But he was shot down by Jiu, who mistook him for an assassin.

Xie Yunqing: …………

It would be bad enough that he was bullied by his own imperial sister, but how could even the imperial sister's guards bully him? That's too abominable.

Forget it, for the sake of my royal sister, I won’t bother with this little guard.

Xie Yunqing refused to admit it, as he was afraid that he could not defeat the young guard.

On the other side, Xie Chuyue and the system searched for a long time before they found the hall where they would receive the envoys the next day. The two of them hung on the beams stealthily.

Xie Chuyue: [You carry the plaque, and I'll write! ]

System: [You want to crush me to death? Have you forgotten that I am just a little white ball now? ]

Xie Chuyue: [Um, then I'll move it and you write it? ]

The system was speechless, looking at its furry little paws: […………Host, are you sure I can hold the pen? ]

Xie Chuyue looked disgusted: [Useless trash, bah, a worthless fighter, can't do anything. ]

So someone lifted the plaque above the emperor's throne with one hand, and with the other hand took a brush dipped in red ink and wrote a big "Die" on the wall behind him.

When I was writing the last stroke, I found that there was not much ink left and the writing was not very obvious, so I used my mouth to wipe it off.

After Xie Chuyue finished writing, she turned around and looked at the system below and said: [System, check to see if it is ready? If it is, I will hang up the plaque. ]

The system heard Xie Chuyue's cry and looked up, only to see a long red mark on the corner of its host's mouth. It almost screamed, but luckily it managed to hold back. [It's okay, it's okay, come down quickly, we have to go back quickly.]

Someone quickly hung the plaque back, put the brush at his waist, grabbed the furry system, and flew out of the palace. He climbed over eaves and walls along the way and soon left the palace. His movements were smooth and fluid, without any drag.

The system was thinking along the way whether to tell its host to deal with the corner of his mouth.

Maybe it was because the system took too long to think, or maybe it was because Xie Chuyue's Qinggong was too good and his speed was too fast, so they arrived at the post station very quickly, and the two of them sneaked back.

As soon as Xie Chuyue entered her room, Ajiu suddenly appeared in front of her. Ajiu's eyes widened when he saw his master's face.

Xie Chuyue: [Tong, what's with Ah Jiu's expression? I'm not that scary, am I?]

System: [Host, are you scary? Just look at your Ah Jiu's expression and you will know. Why are you asking me? ]

Xie Chuyue slapped the system and it flew out of the window and flew far away.

In the past, the system had no entity and he couldn’t do anything about it. But now, he has to vent his anger.

Xie Chuyue knew that the system would not die, so she ignored it and approached Ajiu and wanted to touch Ajiu's head, but Ajiu stepped back.

Xie Chuyue took a step closer and Ajiu took a step back.

Ajiu didn't know how to describe his master, so he had to take the bronze mirror beside him and quickly show it to Xie Chuyue. He was shocked when he saw it.

The long red ink marks on both sides of Xie Chuyue's mouth made people who didn't know her think she was eating someone.

So he quickly asked Ah Jiu to fetch some water, and it took a long time to wash off the red ink.

Ah Jiu's head was wide open, and he was confused. What was his master doing? Why was his mouth full of blood? Ah Jiu was so stupid that he thought his master was going to eat him.

Xie Chuyue's behavior made her feel embarrassed. The system was really stupid. Didn't it even remind her? She just licked the brush in a hurry and forgot to wipe her mouth.

Looking at Ah Jiu who was afraid of her, Xie Chuyue patted her forehead and said softly, "Ah Jiu, tell me, how was your night?"

When Ah Jiu heard Xie Chuyue asking about what happened that night, he immediately became serious: "Master, the first group of assassins entered at three quarters after midnight and were dealt with by the guards outside. After that, three more groups of assassins came in. They were all dealt with by the secret guards, attendants, the Fourth Prince and some generals."

"Yeah." Xie Chuyue hummed. She was more concerned about whether anyone had entered her room. "Did anyone break into my room?"

Ajiu shook his head firmly: "No master, Ajiu has been guarding the door well and has not let anyone in."

After saying this, Jiu stretched his head forward, as if asking for Xie Chuyue's praise.

Xie Chuyue was also generous. She touched Ajiu's head and then let him leave.

She had just laid down on the bed, ready to fall asleep, when the system finally came back.

The system said with resentment: [Host, do you want to kill this system? ]

Xie Chuyue: […………]

“Hu~ha~hu~ha~hu~ha~hu~ha~”

System: Speechless. He was talking to the host, but the host was sleeping like a dead pig.

Seeing that Xie Chuyue was already fast asleep, the system did not disturb her anymore and curled up on Xie Chuyue's pillow and fell asleep.

On the other side, in the Third Prince's Mansion, Zheng Qingchen was still waiting for his subordinates to come and report. As a result, no one came when the morning court time came. He had a bad feeling in his heart.

There are only two reasons why those people who were sent out did not come back: first, they all died; second, they were captured.

Either way, it's disadvantageous to him.

On the day after Xie Chuyue and his party arrived, envoys from various countries finally arrived. The Emperor of Beiqi decided to hold a banquet to entertain the envoys who had come from afar.

The next day, in Xie Chuyue's room, someone was dressed up by the maids.

Xie Chuyue's eyes were almost popping out, she sat in front of the dressing mirror and complained: "Are you sick? Wearing so many, who are you trying to tire to death?"

The system whispered to comfort him from behind: "Host, after all, this is a banquet for envoys from four countries, so you must dress up to attend."

Xie Chuyue didn't care about all this. She was almost unable to lift her head due to the pressure. She thought about replacing all the heavy things with light ones, but she was stopped by Xie Yunqi who had just walked in.

"Yuer, you are of noble status, so these are indispensable." Xie Yunqi's words contained a hint of helplessness and a bit of doting.

Xie Yunshen also took out a pair of golden hairpins from his bosom and wanted to put them on Xie Chuyue. "At today's banquet, the noble ladies of Beiqi Kingdom are all wearing jewels and gold and silver, but you, the most favored little princess of Nanyue Kingdom, are wearing plain clothes. Isn't this a slap in the face of our Nanyue Kingdom? At least you can give us some face."

Xie Chuyue couldn't hear anything now. Her head was too heavy and her clothes were too complicated. She felt really uncomfortable: "Fourth brother, please don't come over. I really don't want to wear it anymore. My head is almost unable to bear it."

"No!" Xie Yunshen was firm.

Finally, someone's resistance was in vain and he was forcibly replaced again.

When she came out after packing up, everyone was amazed. Xie Chuyue was wearing a blue waisted and wide-sleeved long dress. Her black hair was styled into a flying bun by the deft maids, and the bun was decorated with some pearl flowers and blue tassels.

The whole person looks as elegant as a fairy, with narrow and long eyes slightly raised, as if she is a fairy who is not of this world, which is very attractive.

After all, Xie Yunshen had been hanging around in brothels for many years and knew how to dress up nicely, so he took out the things he had treasured for a long time and gave them to Xie Chuyue to dress up.

At this moment, the two brothers Xie Yunqi and Xie Yunqing, as well as Chu Jinghong and Hongye were all stunned. Their expressions were frozen as they looked at Xie Chuyue who looked like a little fairy.

"Oh my god, you are trying to tire me to death!"

But the moment Xie Chuyue opened her mouth, the beauty was instantly broken. Everyone held their foreheads in their hands, wondering, how could this be a fairy?
