Playing the Pig and Eating the Tiger: My Funny System is Too Fierce

"Miss, are you really going to the Imperial Study?" Xiao Cui looked at Su Qing worriedly, "That note last night..."

"It's precisely because of the note that I have to go." Su Qing said as she was getting dressed. "If I hide and go, won't people look down on me?"

[Ding! Battle preparation]

【Attitude: Calm and Unhurried】

【Recommendation: Stay vigilant】

"But......"

"Don't worry," Su Qing said confidently, "I have my own plans. By the way, where is the cat from last night?"

"In the yard, it seems I can't walk anymore."

Su Qing's eyes lit up: "Take me to see it."

【Ding! Important clue】

【Cat Status: Poisoned】

【Recommendation: Check carefully】

Sure enough, the cat that brought the message was curled up in the corner, looking like it was dying.

"Interesting," Su Qing checked it out, "This is the toxicity of Qiye Powder."

Xiao Cui was surprised: "Miss, you even know about poison?"

[Ding! Skill display]

[Original Owner's Specialty: Proficient in Toxicology]

【Suggestion: Make the best use of it】

"I know a little bit." Su Qing said with a smile, "Let's go find the imperial physician and ask for some antidote."

"This... this is just a cat..."

"This cat is not simple," Su Qing said meaningfully, "it may know a lot of things."

[Ding! Wise decision]

【Clue Protection】

【Suggestion: Continue to follow up】

After detoxifying the cat, Su Qing began to prepare for the appointment.

"Xiao Cui, go get someone to keep an eye on Concubine Jia's palace. I have a feeling there's something to be discovered there."

"Yes!" Xiao Cui set off immediately.

[Ding! Deployment arrangements]

Strategy: Multi-pronged approach

【Recommendation: Just in case】

Near noon, Su Qing came to the outside of the imperial study.

Before entering the door, I heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside:

"Your Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

“This is my decision!”

"But......"

[Ding! Unexpected gain]

[Scene of conflict]

【Suggestion: Listen quietly】

Su Qing was about to step back when the door suddenly opened.

The prime minister came out angrily, was obviously stunned when he saw her, then snorted coldly and left.

[Ding! Encounter an opponent]

[Prime Minister's Attitude: Hostile]

【Recommendation: Be careful】

"Come in." Mo Yunchen's voice came.

Su Qing walked in and saw the prince standing by the window, looking a little tired.

"Your Highness." She saluted.

"No need to be polite." Mo Yunchen turned around, "Did you sleep well last night?"

【Ding! Warm and caring】

[Prince's Status: Heartbroken]

【Suggestion: Act coquettishly appropriately】

"It's okay," Su Qing blinked, "it was just a dream."

“What dream?”

“I dreamt that someone wanted to kill me.”

Mo Yunchen's expression changed: "Have you received a threat?"

【Ding! Information transmission】

【Method: euphemistic】

【Suggestion: Know when to stop】

"No," Su Qing smiled, "it was just an ordinary dream. But Your Highness, you look very tired?"

"Well," Mo Yunchen rubbed his brow, "something happened in the court..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden "bang" and the sound of fighting was heard outside!

[Ding! Unexpected situation]

[Alert Level: MAX]

【Suggestion: Battle Preparation】

Mo Yunchen didn't say anything and pulled Su Qing to hide behind the screen.

Almost at the same time, an arrow shot in from the window!

"Assassin?" Su Qing asked in a low voice.

"No," Mo Yunchen sneered, "it's acting."

【Ding! The truth is revealed】

[Enemy Strategy: Playing Hard to Get]

【Suggestion: Wait and see】

Sure enough, the guards' voices soon came from outside:

"The assassin has been caught!"

"Hurry up and see if His Highness is okay!"

Mo Yunchen made a silent gesture to Su Qing, and then said loudly:

"Nothing, no need to come in!"

[Ding! Tacit cooperation]

[Prince's Plan: Using Stillness to Control Motion]

【Suggestion: Cooperate with the performance】

When it was quiet outside, Mo Yunchen let go of Su Qing: "Sorry, I scared you."

"It's okay," Su Qing teased, "This isn't the first time I've been assassinated."

When these words came out, both of them were stunned.

【Ding! Sweet interaction】

【Atmosphere: Warm】

【Suggestion: Keep the atmosphere】

"Speaking of which," Mo Yunchen suddenly asked, "Do you know the cause of Concubine Jia's death?"

Su Qing shook her head: "I heard that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment?"

"No," Mo Yunchen's eyes flashed with coldness, "He was killed by someone."

[Ding! Important information]

[Turning Point of the Case]

【Suggestion: Listen carefully】

“Where is the murderer?”

"They caught him. They said he was ordered by the Prime Minister."

“So just now…”

"Yes," Mo Yunchen nodded, "He came to plead for Concubine Jia."

[Ding! The truth is becoming clear]

Situation: Complicated

【Recommendation: Judge carefully】

At this moment, Xiao Cui came running over:

"Miss! Concubine Jia's palace is on fire!"

Su Qing and Mo Yunchen looked at each other: As expected!

[Ding! Major discovery]

[Enemy Action: Destroy the Corpse]

【Recommendation: Act quickly】

"Let's go!" Mo Yunchen pulled Su Qing and rushed out.

"Wait!" Su Qing suddenly stopped. "Your Highness, don't you think that this fire came at a great time?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Could it be... a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

【Ding! Wise Analysis】

【Reasoning ability: MAX】

【Suggestion: Act separately】

Mo Yunchen's eyes lit up: "So the real goal is..."

"The Imperial Study!" they both said in unison.

Sure enough, when they turned back, they saw a dark figure rummaging through the bookshelf!

[Ding! Thrilling moment]

【Enemy Appears】

【Suggestion: Wisdom is better than force】

"Have you found it?" Su Qing suddenly asked.

The man was startled and turned around to escape, but found that Mo Yunchen had blocked his way.

"Don't be afraid," Su Qing continued, "We also want to know who was behind Concubine Jia's death."

[Ding! God-level routine]

Strategy: Retreat to advance

【Recommendation: Continue to induce】

"You...you guys..." The man was obviously panicked.

"Surrender," Mo Yunchen said coldly, "I can spare your life."

At this moment, the man suddenly raised his head and drank something!

[Ding! An unexpected turn]

【Enemy commits suicide】

【Suggestion: Protect the scene】

"Don't touch him!" Su Qing shouted, "It's poisonous!"

Mo Yunchen quickly stepped back: "Do you know this poison?"

"Yes," Su Qing nodded, "It's the same kind that killed Concubine Jia."

[Ding! Breakthrough in the case]

【Clue: Double Death】

【Suggestion: Continue to investigate】

At this time, Xiao Cui came running over breathlessly: "Miss! The fire... the fire is out!"

"Did you find anything suspicious?"

"Found this!" Xiao Cui handed over a letter.

[Ding! Key evidence]

【mission completed】

【Recommendation: Check carefully】

When Su Qing opened it, her face changed drastically.

"What's wrong?" Mo Yunchen asked.

"Your Highness," Su Qing said solemnly, "I'm afraid things are not that simple..."
