I will be a boss in the future world

The first ray of golden sunlight penetrated the huge glass window and poured into the room. This beam of light seemed to carry a mysterious and warm power, illuminating every corner.

The light shines through the delicate hollow fine flower gauze curtains, breaking the original complete beam into countless tiny and blurred light spots. These light spots, large or small, bright or dark, are scattered in the air, bringing a dreamlike atmosphere to the entire space.

They are like naughty elves, jumping and dancing in the air, or like tiny stars, flashing faint but charming light. Each light spot has a unique shape and texture, which reminds people of all living things in nature or the exquisite patterns in ancient art.

Yuying opened her eyes and stretched.

Suddenly I remembered that there was someone behind me, and I immediately retracted my arm that had just been stretched out.

When she looked back, the person next to her was gone, the sunken place had long since become flat, and the quilt was no longer warm.

"Queen, you are awake."

Yuying turned her head and saw Mayin standing respectfully beside the bed, holding a tray in her hand and bowing slightly towards her.

"Well, what time is it now?"

Ma Yin bowed her head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it is almost noon."

what?

"Is it so late?"

"…Main wanted to call you, but before His Highness left, he told Her Highness not to wake you up. His Highness said…"

Yuying twisted her neck to stretch her muscles while listening to what Ma Yin said, but she suddenly stopped in the middle of her speech.

Seeing her shrinking back, Yu Ying frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say, don't be so hesitant."

"Your Highness, His Highness said... that you worked hard last night, so... let you rest for a while and told us not to disturb you."

"Oh."

Thinking it was some big deal, Yuying stretched again. He slept so late yesterday, so there must be a reason why he woke up late today.

She looked at Myne and saw that she lowered her head slightly. The girl's face was flushed and she looked very embarrassed.

"..."

Looking at her expression, I must have thought of something?

"Well...just do what you need to do."

Seeing Mayin's look, Yuying couldn't help but think of what happened last night, and suddenly her face turned red and her neck became thick.

Marin did not leave immediately. Instead, she strode to the glass window and pulled open the hollow floral curtains with a "swish", and the sunlight poured into the room.

The silky sunlight, like a golden ribbon, passed through the darkness before dawn and gradually spread out with colorful light. The dazzling golden light was so brilliant that people could not help but be dazzled.

Yuying only felt a brilliant scene before her eyes, and her eyes could not bear the strong light, so she couldn't help but squint slightly.

While making tea, Mayin explained: "Where can Mayin go? Mayin's only mission is to serve you, the queen."

A cup of tea had just been brewed, and Marin opened the glass window to let in some air. The cool breeze blew slowly into the room, making her feel a lot more refreshed.

Ma Yin placed her breakfast and freshly brewed tea on the table in front of her. Yu Ying looked at the busy figure of the girl in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.

She looks pretty and speaks nicely, giving people a feeling of wanting to get close to her, but sometimes she inexplicably gives people the feeling that she is too scheming.

There was no clue after thinking so much, so I just stopped thinking about it and started eating the breakfast prepared by Maine.

"You just said you guys? Aren't you the only one serving me right now?"

"Oh, right!"

Ma Yin, who was cleaning the room, slapped her head and suddenly stood up, a little embarrassed: "I almost forgot that Servant Xu came this morning."

Yuying stopped eating, looked up at Mayin and asked, "What did he say?"

"When Servant Xu came this morning, you were still asleep. He handed a note to Myne and told her to hand it to you personally when the queen woke up."

As she spoke, Mayin took out the note from her body and gave it to Yuying.

"Okay, keep busy."

Yuying took the note and said to her.

"Yes."

Myne turned around and continued cleaning.

Only after making sure that she wouldn't see it secretly did Yuying open the note.

Plain Street Delicious Restaurant?

The note should have an address written on it. Xu Yichen probably meant to meet here. After all, her and Yan's identities were too conspicuous, and meeting in the palace would inevitably be risky.

Yuying silently put away the note and called Mayin to her side.

"Main, do you know where Plain Street is?"

Mayin nodded and asked, "Is the Queen going out? Do you need Mayin to prepare a carriage for you?"

"Um……"

"Yes, go get it ready. I'm going out for some shopping."

She made an excuse and said that it should be okay to prepare the carriage.

"Okay, Myne, I'll go right away."

After getting on the carriage prepared by Main, they quickly arrived at the destination on the note.

This street is obviously quieter than other places. However, it is this unique quietness that gives it a unique tranquil atmosphere.

Looking far away, at the end of the line of sight, a store called "Delicious Restaurant" comes into view. There is a particularly eye-catching sign posted at the door of this store, which uses bright colors and exaggerated fonts to write the store's special dishes and discounts, making people look forward to the food inside.

"Queen, do you need Myne to accompany you inside?"

Yuying shook her head. "No need. You guys go back first. I can do it myself."

"Can……"

She glared coldly -

"Yes, then Queen Mayin will go back first."

After watching Maine leave, Yuying turned around and entered the delicious restaurant. She had to admit that the identity of the Bad Queen was really useful.

After entering the delicious restaurant, they successfully found table 16. Yan and Xu Yichen were sitting side by side, and the table was filled with a lot of delicious food.

"...Did you make a fortune?"

Yuying naturally sat opposite them.

Yan still looked indifferent: "You are late."

Xu Yechen glanced at Yu Ying and said, "Can you have some sense of time?"

Yu Ying: "..."

"It's not all my fault."

Yan Gao said coldly: "People who do something wrong always think that the fault lies with others, and they can completely shirk the responsibility with just a few words like "if", "careless", and "what if".

"puff--!"

It was obvious that he was blaming herself and Xu Yechen for their unauthorized actions yesterday, but she was curious how Xu Yechen could laugh so heartlessly.

Yuying pursed her lips, "…We were wrong yesterday. We shouldn't have acted on our own. Afterwards, I did reflect on my actions strictly and seriously."

"?"

Yan frowned and looked at her.

"Cough-cough-"

Xu Yichen clenched his fist and put it on his lips, pretending to cough, but his eyes kept drifting towards Yuying.

Yu Ying glared at him and continued to explain: "Yesterday, the two of us acted on our own and were punished. Look, Xu Yechen is still coughing now."

"..."

Yan's eyes instantly became more serious, and his brows furrowed: "What did you say?"

"Cough-cough-!"

Yuying clasped her hands together and pretended to be very pious: "We know we are wrong, so please stop frowning and giving us a cold look and stop preaching, okay?"

"I didn't ask you that."

Yan frowned and looked at Xu Yechen who was coughing crazily beside him, then looked at Yuying, "I'm asking, what did you do last night?"

"what?"

He was confused by Yan's question. Didn't Xu Yichen tell him last night?

Yu Ying looked at Xu Yechen with a puzzled expression. The latter covered his eyes helplessly and didn't want to look at him, with an expression that said "I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates like you."

"..."

She seemed to get something incredible in an instant——

"So what you just said is...?"

Yan uttered a few words expressionlessly: "Of course, I mean you are late."

"You're late for the mission too. Do you think this is a joke?"

Yuying covered her face in embarrassment: "..."

"Tell me, what happened last night."

"Uh...yesterday...yesterday we...that..."

"to be frank!"

Yan's face became even colder, and he stared at Yuying with sharp eyes.

"..."

"Okay, I admit that Xu Yechen and I took the initiative to look for clues yesterday, and we alerted the enemy. We were almost chased and beaten to a pulp. If I hadn't been so smart to resolve the situation, we might not be able to see you today."

I felt much better after saying it all in one breath.

"..."

Yu Ying pointed at Xu Yechen who was beside him and said to Yan without blushing or beating his heart, "Actually, he dragged me there."

"..."

Xu Yechen was speechless.

"..."

Yan suddenly stood up.

"Since you two think you are so powerful, you probably don't need me as your partner anymore. Goodbye."

After speaking, he turned to leave.

"!"

Yu Ying quickly stood up to stop him and grabbed his arm. Yan often went on missions and was very experienced. Without him, she and the unreliable Xu Yechen would definitely not be able to do it.

Xu Yichen was just leaning leisurely on the sofa drinking tea, watching the fun and adding a sentence without minding the hassle.

"Let's go, let's go. If you leave, it will only be Wen Yuying and I. We will definitely cooperate perfectly and have great tacit understanding."

Yan: "..."

Yuying immediately glared at him and cursed in her heart.

However, these words were actually quite effective, and Yan came back and sat down again.

"For Mr. Song's sake."

Xu Yichen smiled with a fake smile: "..."

"Good good."

I suddenly felt that the words Song Zhimian told them before he left saved me many times. I am so grateful!

"I'm staying on condition."

"Tell me any actions you may take in the future, and don't act rashly."

Yuying nodded in agreement.

Yan regained his indifferent expression and asked calmly, "How was your investigation yesterday? Did you find any suspicious people?"

"Yes, we made a significant discovery yesterday."

I told Yan the details of what happened yesterday.

"That's what happened. I saw her arguing with the middle-aged man, and then the man was dragged into the warehouse."

Yuying frowned, "There are many armed men guarding outside the warehouse, so I suspect that the warehouse may contain the answers we are looking for."

Hearing this, Yan lowered his head and thought.

"..."

"Why don't you say anything?"

Yan raised his head and looked at Yuying, "I just remembered someone who is very similar to the one you described."

"Who?"

"The high priest of this country."

"Yesterday I looked up the information of all the important officials in this country. The high priestess was the only one who was a woman. She was special so I wrote her down."

"Isn't it beautiful? Pretty tough?"

"Yes, this place is completely different from what we have heard."

Yan paused for a moment and continued, "At first, Huai Zhen told us that all the abnormal data came from the princess, so we only suspected the princess. Perhaps things are not what we thought."

Yuying agreed: "I think so too. I went to see her yesterday. She looked very innocent. She really didn't look like a scheming girl."

Yan nodded in agreement: "I also interviewed many people, and they only praised this princess. On the contrary..."

"What's the opposite?"

"Instead, everyone is complaining about this king."

"..."

Yuying frowned: "By the way, I have two more suspects."

"The maid who follows the queen closely, and the knight who protects the princess, they both give me a very strange feeling."

Yan thought for a moment and said, "Well... let's divide up the next tasks."

"I will investigate the matter of the high priest and the warehouse."

"Wen Yuying, continue to follow up with the princess and tell you about the knight and the maid."

Yuying nodded, "Okay, but..."

"Didn't we say from the beginning that you would follow up with the princess? You haven't met her yet?"

Yan shook his head: "The guards who followed me said that I can't easily see the princess without the king's summons, so you have to follow up."

"I see. Okay, leave the princess to me."

"Then what does he do?"

Yuying pointed at Xu Yechen who had been silent.

Yan looked at Xu Yechen and then at Yuying, "You two should cooperate with each other. If there is any crisis, he can still protect you."

Yuying nodded. It was the first time since she met Yan that he spoke to her in a relatively calm tone.

"And the king?"

Yan thought for a while and said, "Let's leave it alone for now. He might just be stupid and violent. Apart from this, we can't find out anything else."

"Perhaps the disorder in the space has caused his personality to change. There is no need to worry about him for the time being."

Yuying frowned: "Will the spatial disorder change his appearance or something?"

"No, spatial disorder means that things that happened in the past have been tampered with and changed. The things and choices that the king may face at some point have changed."

"That's what led to the changes in his personality later on. His appearance can't be changed."

"Wait, why are you asking..."

"Have you met him?"

Yuying nodded, "Yes, I have seen him. He is completely different from what I imagined. He is handsome and young."

"When did you meet him?"

Xu Yechen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"I was with you the whole time yesterday. The only time I left you was when you went to see the princess. So..."

He was surprised and asked, "You saw him in the middle of the night!?"

"……Um."

Although it’s a bit embarrassing to talk about this, these tasks are all fake, so there’s no need to be embarrassed to say it.

Yan frowned and said nothing: "..."

Xu Yechen asked, "Where is it?"

"In my room."

"Can you explain yourself clearly? Do you really need me to ask you one sentence at a time?"

"..."

Yuying rolled her eyes at him.

"After we separated last night, I went back to my room, took a shower and went to bed. I felt someone climbing onto my bed in a daze..."

Xu Yichen was shocked and angry: "What! What did you do!?"

Yan looked at him speechlessly, coughed and said, "... continue."

"Then, you should be able to think of what happens next."

Xu Yechen: “!!!”

Yan: “……!!!”
