Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

"So urgent?" Lu Yaoyao was a little unbelievable.

Gu Huai went to war with the army, so what was she planning to do?

The system, who didn't know where to find its way, finally spoke at this moment, "Host, because Gu Huai was called away last night, his like index is not 100%."

"You finally showed up? Where have you been these days?"

The system explained, "I noticed something was amiss, so I went to investigate. I discovered that you weren't the only one targeting Xie Qingchen before. There was another one as well."

"Who?"

"Li Wan'er, also known as Su Yuan, is now Xie Qingchen's concubine."

"It's her." Lu Yaoyao suddenly understood why she looked the same as her previous self. Many of her living habits and small movements were also similar.

"That's right. The system she signed a contract with violated the rules. I originally wanted to report it to headquarters, but it discovered my motives first and launched a sneak attack on me. That's why you couldn't find me during this period."

"What about that system?"

"It's been scrapped and recycled by headquarters. However, it was severely damaged during my battle with him. It will be forced to shut down for a period of time and sent back to headquarters for repairs. Host, you will be on your own during this time."

The system fell silent after saying this.

That woman...

Lu Yaoyao pondered over it, and suddenly felt that the assassins who came to kill her again and again were arranged by her.

She must have discovered that she was the former He Yaoyao, so she tried every means to get rid of her.

With the careful care of the Gu family, Lu Yaoyao gradually recovered.

The man from the Gu family was killing the enemy on the battlefield. As the new wife of the Gu family, she had not yet had time to be intimate with her husband before her husband went to the battlefield. Naturally, the emperor, the empress dowager, and the concubine had to treat her with extra kindness.

Hearing that she was almost recovered, Concubine Shu sent her an invitation to attend a banquet in the palace.

She and Gu's mother dressed up and entered the palace together.

She noticed that Su Yuan had also come.

She was currently accompanying Concubine Shu, and seemed to be quite pleased with her.

But if you think about it, you can understand that with Li Wan'er's talent and sophistication in dealing with people, it is not difficult for her to please Concubine Shu.

Moreover, Xie Qingchen hasn't touched a woman for so many years. He finally has a concubine, so Concubine Shu must pamper her and hope that she will give birth to an heir to the throne as soon as possible.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Shu." She and Mother Gu saluted together.

Concubine Shu was very pleased with Gu's mother. "Madam Gu, please take a seat. Yaoyao, you should take a seat too. There's no need to be so formal."

"Thank you, Concubine Shu."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat together.

People looked at him from time to time, but no one dared to look down on him.

The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and their husbands are both fighting outside, so those in the capital who are protected by the Gu family have to treat them with courtesy.

The banquet began. Mother Gu picked up a piece of braised pig's trotter and gave it to Lu Yaoyao. "Eat some of this to nourish your body."

She may not like Lu Yaoyao that much, but because her son likes her, she takes special care of her.

Lu Yaoyao extended the bowl and took the pig's trotter that Gu's mother handed over with a smile.

Just after taking a bite, I heard Concubine Shu say, "Yaoyao, you look good, I am relieved."

Lu Yaoyao quickly stood up and replied respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am doing well."

Concubine Shu nodded gently, "General Gu is extremely brave, and this expedition will surely bring him back victorious."

"Sit down, and don't keep bowing."

"Thank you, empress."

While eating, Lu Yaoyao observed Su Yuan's every move quietly.

Su Yuan whispered to Concubine Shu from time to time, with a gentle smile on her face, but there seemed to be an unknown calculation hidden behind that smile.

Just then, a maid hurried in and whispered a few words into Concubine Shu's ear.

Concubine Shu's expression changed slightly, but then she returned to normal. She smiled at everyone and said, "I have some urgent matters to deal with in the palace. Please make yourselves at ease."

After Concubine Shu left, many people at the banquet began to leave their seats and move around.

After all, I have eaten all kinds of delicacies at banquets.

Lu Yaoyao also left her seat and walked around.

Suddenly, someone bumped into my shoulder.

Lu Yaoyao looked up and found that it was Su Yuan who bumped into her.

She hadn't even looked for her yet, but she couldn't help but come to her door.

Su Yuan bumped into her, but didn't apologize. Instead, she smiled gently and asked, "Is Sister Lu feeling better?"

"Thanks to the Sumerians, everything is fine."

"That's good."

Su Yuan was about to leave when Lu Yaoyao grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Miss Su. We haven't seen each other for a while. It's time for us to have a good chat."

Su Yuan looked at her quietly, "What does Sister Lu want to say?"

"I wonder if the Sumerians have ever heard a saying?"

"What?"

"Twisted melons are not sweet."

Su Meiren was startled for a moment, then recovered her composure and said, "I haven't heard of it."

"Then what is destined to happen will happen, and what is not destined to happen should not be forced."

“Neither have I.”

Su Yuan still smiled gently.

Lu Yaoyao knew that she understood, but she didn't expect that she was so patient. She could remain calm even when she was provoked like this.

"Okay, now that I've finished talking, I'll take my leave now." Lu Yaoyao bowed slightly and walked straight forward.

Su Yuan stared at her back, a fierce look gradually emerging in her eyes, "Lu Yaoyao, you will suffer from this."

She returned to her seat and sat down, but as she sat, her body became hotter and hotter.

How is this going?

Didn’t I give the drug to Lu Yaoyao? How come I got infected myself?

Su Yuan keenly sensed that something was wrong. In order to prevent herself from making a fool of herself in front of everyone, she left the banquet on the pretext of feeling unwell.

When she reached the Changfeng Corridor, she felt that she could not walk any further. Holding onto the pillars, she almost dragged her body forward.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

Consciousness began to become confused.

Soon, she felt like a dehydrated fish on the shore, on the verge of suffocation.

She opened her mouth and gasped for breath, her breathing very disordered.

There was a masculine scent approaching.

She couldn't help but press her body forward.

"Save me, save me, I'm dying."

The owner of the masculine scent seemed startled by her sudden proximity, but then steadied himself.

Su Yuan tried hard to see the other person's face with her blurry eyes, but could only vaguely make out a silhouette.

She didn't know what she was doing, but she was instinctively seeking relief. The heat and desire almost swallowed her.

"Ms. Su, what's wrong with you?" The man held her shoulders, seemingly concerned, but his eyes were reluctant to move away from her slender white neck.

Su Yuan was no longer able to answer. She could only helplessly grab the other person's clothes, as if that was her only support.

"Save me... I feel so bad..." Her voice was weak and trembling, with a hint of pleading.

The man seemed to realize something, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.

But soon, as Su Yuan took the initiative, all that rationality collapsed.

"Concubine Shu."

After finishing her work in the palace, Concubine Shu hurried to the Imperial Garden, but was suddenly stopped by someone.

"Yaoyao, it's you! You scared me. Did something happen at the banquet?"
