Accidentally dressed as an empress

A team of guards came from the end of the street in a menacing manner, and the beggars gave way. Lu Xuan walked into the dilapidated temple with his chin raised, looking like he was asking for a beating. "I heard that the Zuiyue Inn burned down, so I came to take a look."

Yunxiu glanced at Lu Xuan and asked, "Why, you care about me?"

"No, I'm just concerned about the tables, chairs and benches in the inn."

Yun Xiu was speechless and said, "If you weren't rich, you would have been put in a sack and beaten long ago."

Lu Xuan smiled and said, "That would require a silk bag. If cheap fabric like linen touches my face, I'll get a rash."

Yunxiu rolled her eyes. "Hey, this Lu Xuan speaks so modernly, he must have traveled through time too."

[Yes, the host has guessed it. Lu Xuan can recruit now. Host, do you want to recruit?]

Yun Xiu simply ignored it, "Yun Ji went to Xiling with his face disfigured. He's likely already hooking up with the Lu family. That's why you were so hostile earlier. For now, it's best for Lu Xuan and me to keep our distance."

Recruiting people always comes at a price, especially if they're from the opposing faction. If Lu Xuan were to be in Cao's camp but her heart were with Han, she'd be in trouble. It's best to wait and see.

Lu Xuan was bound to a money-spending system. If he didn't spend enough money in a day, he would face the punishment of the system. It was okay if he got the Itchy Package, but the Five Thunderbolts Package and the Burning Internal Organs Package were very torturous.

As for that woman in yellow clothes, as soon as I saw her, I wanted to get closer to her.

She is definitely not a simple person. She might have a golden finger that is even bigger than hers, or she might be a child of luck.

Our own system is still stupid. When asked, it knows nothing.

Lu Xuan glanced at Zhong Qilin and Ziqi with his upturned triangular eyes, looking cunning.

The little fat boy looks honest and simple, so it's easier to trick him.

Lu Xuan walked towards Lin Ziqi. Lin Ziqi looked disgusted and said, "You nostril girl, what do you want to do?"

"Nostril girl?" Lu Xuan couldn't believe it.

Lin Ziqi choked, "Looking at people through their noses, isn't that the Nostril Woman?"

Lu Xuan didn't tolerate this naughty kid either, so she asked Lu Yi to lift Lin Ziqi's collar. Lin Ziqi's short legs kept kicking and kicking, "Put me down! Put me down quickly! If you bully me, my cousin won't let you go!"

"Your cousin? Who is your cousin? My Lu family is one of the best in Yun Country. We are not afraid of anyone."

Lin Ziqi was a shrewd child. "Humph! You're trying to trick me into telling you something, but I won't tell you. I'll piss you off to death."

"Hey! You little brat, you're still trying to argue with me. Are you going to tell me?"

"No, no, I won't tell you. Do you dare to hit me?" Lin Ziqi challenged.

"Hey!" Lu Xuan was furious.

"Come on, hit here." Lin Ziqi struggled to get his face closer.

"Lu Yi, put him down!" Lu Xuan said.

Lin Ziqi's feet landed safely on the ground and he snorted.

Zhong Qi kept his eye on Lin Ziqi. The tall female guard looked very tough on the surface, and she thought catching Lin Ziqi was like catching a chick. However, they couldn't do anything to Lin Ziqi.

Zhong Qi hid far away, away from that annoying guy Lin Ziqi. He didn't want to join in the fun.

Zhong Qi was secretly worried about his wife Li Xian. He wondered whether she had come to Baili City and encountered any hardships on the way.

Li Xian and his group were escorted by the garrison troops. With the garrison troops around, ordinary monsters and demons dared not show up.

Zhong Yi pulled Yun Xiu to a corner of the dilapidated temple. "Are we going to rescue that beggar's husband? Ah Xiu, the beggars' appearance was such a coincidence. Aren't you worried that this is also a trap?"

"They're playing the game of luring people into a trap, so we're going to play the game of catching turtles in a trap." Yunxiu whispered in Zhong Yi's ear, "Don't worry, Ren Li left a day later than us, so he should be here soon."

I just hope Ren Li can bring more helpers.

The governors of each city in Yun Kingdom are hereditary, becoming nothing more than local tyrants. With the Yun Kingdom's royal family in decline, Lingyun City's influence is limited to within a hundred miles. Your Majesty must be eager to change this situation. Previous crackdowns on espionage organizations have been unable to penetrate deep into the cities and eradicate them completely, for this very reason.

Yunxiu has already sent a message to Ren Li through the system, asking Ren Li to find Gu Zezhi.

Her own imperilment gave His Majesty a pretext to wipe out Baili City. She doubted His Majesty would not send garrisons. Furthermore, the forces behind Baili City dared to mint coins privately. This was simply stepping into the Empress's minefield. This was intolerable.

It is safer to communicate between systems than to use carrier pigeons. These carrier pigeons may not be able to fly out of Baili City and will be shot down.

After exchanging some sweet nothings with Zhong Yi, Yun Xiu pulled out an item from the system and put it on Zhong Yi. "This is a sleeve arrow, for self-defense. If it's empty, you can study it. With your intelligence, you should be able to dismantle it quickly."

Zhong Yi lowered his head, burying his face in her shoulder. "Thank you, Ah Xiu. I have something for you, too. This is a spinal thorn. Push it here to remove it. The tip of the thorn is coated with anesthetic that Doctor Zhou gave me." He had been slacking off lately, and this was the only spinal thorn he had made. It was because looking at Ah Xiu made him want to be around her, and he had no time for his own inventions.

Yunxiu put her arms around Zhong Yi's waist and said, "I'll ask Zhou Jing to add some more snake venom. You take the thorn and be sure to protect yourself. Also, this is the antidote for the drug. They should be coming for you this time, as well as your brother and the fat boy."

"Aqi, Ziqi...I will protect them."

Lu Xuan and Lin Ziqi sat together, watching the two people in the corner flirting with each other. "Hey, are your cousin and her husband always this affectionate?"

Lin Ziqi said unhappily, "It's none of your business."

Lu Xuan had never been so humiliated before. She took out some gold and said, "I'll give you a gold ingot. Talk nicely."

Lin Ziqi accepted the gold and said, "Oh, I see, Sister Jinzi." He is stupid but has a lot of money.

Can money buy respect? Can money buy friends?

Yes, they can.

How lonely it is to be invincible. Her life, Lu Xuan, is as lonely as snow.
