Lian Wu explained to them everything that happened after the tracking last night, except for the way he hid at the end.

Don't show too much abnormality in front of outsiders, or you will be regarded as a heretic, even if these people are your teammates.

This is a truth that Lianwu knows well as he travels among different tribes: not everyone can accept the differences of others.

Feng Ling was really curious about the purpose of the three princesses doing that. Instead of breaking up the family, they wanted to protect them.

Judging from the way the Third Princess treated Feng Xu last night, she was definitely not the type of person who would sacrifice herself for others out of love. Therefore, everything the Third Princess did must be part of a larger conspiracy.

"Will the marriage between the Feng family and the Zheng family bring any benefits to the Third Princess?"

Hua Meng pondered for a moment. "It's hard to say. After all, we weren't born and raised in this world. We only know the most superficial relationships between these characters. Perhaps there's some connection between the Third Princess and the Zheng family that we're unaware of."

"Let's put this matter aside for now. How's the situation with Jiuling?"

Lian Wu didn't want to dwell on this matter. Some things would emerge on their own when the time was right.

"Everything went smoothly. The wine spirit will not be present at the banquet, but will be on call in the palace. If there is any problem with the wine, the soldiers will immediately capture the wine spirit."

Queen Zheng’s birthday must have been no small matter, not to mention that her biological father was an important official of two dynasties. Although he was a civil servant, he held a very important position in the court.

"Princess Jinyu is the Queen's niece. Now that her wedding is approaching, I'm afraid the Queen will mention it to the Emperor at her birthday banquet."

Feng Ling estimated that if any major incident occurred, it would happen at this point.

After some discussion, they finally decided to let Jiu Ling pick them up in the palace, and they tried to find a way to sneak into the banquet.

"How far has Bai Yan's branch quest progressed?"

Feng Ling skillfully opened the task panel and saw that the progress of that branch quest was only 40%.

When Hua Meng heard this, she felt something was wrong.

"Only 40%? That doesn't match the progress of the small branch line."

Lian Wu was not familiar with these side quests, so he just listened quietly to their discussion and sorted out the information of the past few days in his mind.

"Yes, a normal small branch line should have been over 60% by this point, but this one is only 40%. It's very likely that it involves a wide range of things and is a mid-to-high-level branch line."

Although he had not entered the dungeon for many years, Feng Ling had never forgotten the relevant information and data.

"Hmm... this line still needs to be investigated. The Third Princess may also be related to this matter. If it involves the court, then 40% progress is reasonable."

Since Hua Meng hadn't started this branch line yet, he could only make a suggestion. He also had another branch line about the relationships between the characters in the palace that he hadn't completed.

Before, her freedom was restricted in the palace, and Hua Meng relied on that pile of messy books to force the 30% progress.

In the next few days, security was tightened in the capital, and the people from the yamen were still chasing Hua Meng.

Although the queen's wedding is approaching, there is still a depressing atmosphere in the city.

Officers and soldiers would arrest and interrogate anyone they saw as suspicious, causing panic among the people.

On the Queen's birthday, she got up early and led a group of concubines to pay their respects to the Emperor and the Queen Mother.

The princess, the queen consort and a group of court ladies were already waiting in the central palace.

Mrs. Feng was also one of them. She was dressed elegantly and looked gentle.

At first glance it sounds like there are a lot of people, but in reality only some of the ladies of the court were allowed to come.

The emperor took into consideration the achievements of the Minister of War, and the news of the Minister of War's serious illness had already spread, so he specially ordered Madam Feng.

After the ceremony, everyone actually returned to their own palaces and homes.

The banquet was being prepared in the Queen's Palace, and Jiuling and several other female officials were checking the wine.

This banquet will only invite important officials of the court and members of the royal family. None of Lian Wu and his companions have anything to do with it. If they want to sneak in, they can only replace the identities of those guards.

Or... a palace maid is also acceptable.

But this was clearly not an option for the three of them.

They used the anchor props that Hua Meng had secretly hidden before leaving the palace and directly entered a secluded place in the palace.

But at this time, the palace was already heavily guarded by countless soldiers, and there was a soldier right in front of their teleportation location.

The soldier was about to speak out when he was subdued by the three men.

Hua Meng used the sleeping pills she had prepared in advance to knock the soldier down.

Feng Ling also used props to shield their corner in time. In the eyes of other soldiers, everything was normal here. No one noticed that there were several slightly sunken places on the lawn in the dark night.

The three of them worked together to strip the soldier's armor off, and then Hua Meng drew a blueprint and uploaded it to Jingyi, adding a few thousand points to expedite the process.

In less than a quarter of an hour, three identical sets of armor were in their hands.

This clothing-making function is only available to the top ten on the list. Otherwise, according to their original plan, they would have knocked out three soldiers and directly stripped three sets of clothes from them.

After some operations, they successfully mixed into the ranks of soldiers, replaced several soldiers who were originally guarding the wine spirit, and successfully reunited in this deep palace.
