"Ten people entered the building and were apprehended when they neared Wangshu Pavilion. However, they were all assassins and had already taken poison when they were apprehended. A total of eighteen people were apprehended outside the building. Several others also died of poisoning for unknown reasons after being lost for a while."

"..."

After hearing this, Kong Sanniang pondered for a few moments and said, "When the master handed the Peacock Terrace to me, she once said to me, 'The Peacock Terrace is the knife she put out in the open.' I have always believed that the master has hidden another knife that she has not even told me about.

But it is not surprising that the knife has not surfaced since the master passed away. In the young lady's dream, our Peacock Terrace was disbanded, and the knife did not come out either. This is really strange.

If the knife had always been there, just hidden in our shadows, and we hadn't discovered it, and then for various reasons we couldn't get to the young lady, then the people we lost and pursued could have very likely committed suicide by poisoning with that knife!"

After hearing what Kong Sanniang said, Lin Yuan immediately remembered something. "Sanniang, do you still remember the person I mentioned in my letter to you, the one who made Ning Jin and Xie Yu a couple?"

Kong Sanniang thought for a moment, her eyes brightening slightly, "Do you suspect that person is the other knife in the master's hand?"

Lin Yuan shook his head. "I'm not sure, but Lin An said at the time that the man's skills were very similar to those of the people in our building."

"So... can we try to lure them out?"

Kong Sanniang asked this while looking at Li Shu.

Li Shu silently digested their conversation for a while before saying, "Mother said you were the hidden weapon she was laying bare. The Emperor is now aware of the Peacock Terrace's uniqueness, and he must have suspected that the people Mother left behind for me were connected to it. So, you've definitely been exposed. If we were to uncover Mother's hidden weapon now, wouldn't that actually be helping the Emperor?"

"Miss, you are wise. I was inconsiderate!"

"..."

Li Shu smiled.

The fact that her mother gave the Peacock Terrace to Kong Sanniang is enough to show her ability.

The reason why Kong Sanniang didn't think of what she was thinking was probably because she cared too much about her mother.

I care more than she does.

After all, she was too young when her mother left.

After being rescued by her mother, Kong Sanniang lived with her mother for some years.

As for the knife hidden behind their Peacock Terrace, if their Peacock Terrace is disbanded, the knife will naturally be affected.

In addition, in the dream, she continued to lose her luck due to Xie Yu's conspiracy, which made Xie Yu and the others' systems stronger and stronger. I am afraid that no matter how powerful the people left by her mother are, they cannot get close to her, let alone deal with Xie Yu and the others.

But she didn't intend to discuss this with Kong Sanniang in detail.

Because her mother did not mention the system directly to Kong Sanniang, but used the term "Death God".

After thinking about it, she heard the sound of the show ending downstairs and got up and went to the window to look.

Then she stroked the sandalwood Buddhist beads on her wrist and said, "In order to completely prevent Li Yunzhi and the others from bothering me again, I want to write down the experiences in my dream into a storybook, and then have the people in your building rehearse it."

*

In the palace, in the imperial study.

Lin Qi knelt upright in front of Yin Su, repeatedly thinking about what was in the letter that Li Shu wrote to Li Yunzhi.

During this period, Yin Su learned from his subordinates that the Peacock Terrace was hidden deep inside, and even the area around the Peacock Terrace was densely populated with experts. His face was as gloomy as ink.

But Lin Qi remained silent.

Seeing that his patience was about to run out, Lin Qi finally spoke, "Your Majesty also knows that long before Li Shu suddenly changed her personality, I had the system detect whether she had been reborn, awakened, or had her core replaced. I tested it more than once, but my system didn't detect it. However, judging from what Li Shu wrote in that letter, it clearly looked like she had awakened. So after much thought, I only have one possibility left. Lin Zhi, the previous host of my system, did something to destroy my system!"

"If I remember correctly, you haven't told me that your system was once Lin Zhi's system!"

"..."

Lin Qi's expression changed. Just as she was about to explain, she heard Yin Su say, "Your system is already so useless now because of Li Shu's growing luck that it can't even wake Wanwan up. How long do you want to wait to get Xie Yu to repair your system?"

Lin Qi hurriedly said, "It's only a few days away. As for the Queen... I can't even use the Soul Calming Card anymore. I really have no other options. How about the Emperor invite some high monks to the palace to suppress the Queen... Murong Hui?"

Yin Su frowned and didn't answer for a long time.

He felt a little relieved after Wanwan fell asleep again.

He was tired of the constant coaxing and appeasement of lowering one's stance and bottom line.

I began to miss the peaceful days when the Queen was alive.

He didn't answer. Lin Qi waited for a moment, then said, "But Your Majesty, there's no need to worry too much. The people I've planted in the Zhenbei General's Mansion have already discovered where General Li hid Lin Zhi's body, haven't they? Once I get Lin Zhi's body and can get her back, we'll be able to figure out what she did and find a way to solve the problem!"

Yin Su looked at her quietly, without much emotion caused by her words.

He didn't know Lin Zhi very well.

Based on the little he knew about Lin Zhi, if Lin Zhi had known Li Shu's future before her death and had made careful arrangements for Li Shu, then she must have also calculated that Li Yunzhi wanted her to come back. In that case, as long as she didn't want to come back, no one could force her to come back.

But in the end he let Lin Qi go ahead and do it.

After all, there is no other way but to try it out.

Then, as soon as Lin Qi left, a pile of memorials were sent into the imperial study.

Yin Su looked at the number and his face darkened.

Before that, he would send some memorials to the Eastern Palace and ask the prince to review them for him.

Firstly, it was to let the world know how much he trusted the prince, so that when he deposed the prince, the world would firmly believe that it was the prince who did something wrong and was unworthy of the position, rather than that he disliked the prince.

Secondly, he wanted to be lazy. Anyway, the prince could not fly out of his palm, so he was relieved.

But recently the prince still appears to be as sensible and dutiful as before, but in fact he has gradually slipped away from his control.

A few days ago, he tried to say a few bad things about the prince in the court, but the number of people who stood up to speak for the prince far exceeded his expectations.

Among them there are even a few old ministers whom he cannot easily touch!

Furthermore, the people he had placed in the Eastern Palace had not only failed to carry out any of his orders recently, but the Crown Prince had also transferred most of them out of the Eastern Palace under legitimate pretexts...

Thinking of this, Yin Su pinched his brows, stood up and left the imperial study and went to Fengyi Palace.

The Wanwan of today is no longer the Wanwan who could solve any problem for him.

Is it Wanwan or the Queen who is sleeping in Fengyi Palace now?
