Report to the Empress and the Eldest Princess: They're using the system to poach your men.

"go on."

"I...I suspect they are from Dongrui."

Hearing this, Wen Yuening narrowed her eyes.

In the past two years, the eldest princess has had more conflicts with the Northern Witches, but not much with the Eastern Rui, where the Duke of Song has been keeping things under control.

Even if Dongrui wanted to take revenge on the Princess for past events, she wouldn't specifically send someone to spend a lot of money to hire assassins from Nanjing to assassinate her own country's female general.

Why do you have this suspicion?

"Their style of doing things is very similar to that of the Dongrui people. Before the Pavilion Master took me in, I lived in Yuanzhou, which borders Dongrui. The Dongrui merchants who travel there all have a little habit, and the people who bought the Princess's head this time are very similar to them, so I guessed that they are Dongrui people."

Wen Yuening could clearly sense Feng Shao's frantic attempts to curry favor and provide the information he knew, and she had a feeling that it wasn't just for a quick and easy solution.

"If he is not from Dongrui, he is very likely a man of the Duke of Song, after all, Yuanzhou is his territory."

"Ah, so that's what they were waiting for!"

"He just doesn't seem very bright."

"I don't know whether to be glad that the other party misjudged, or to scold myself for being blind to have chosen such a person to manage the affairs of the pavilion."

"Feng Shao, what can I say about you?"

Knowing she wouldn't get anything of value out of him, she had Qingzhi and Wenque take the person away, kill him, and bury him.

Qing Tang still had a scratch on her face from the wood chips. When she saw Wen Yuening coming, she blocked her way.

He moved closer to her, whispering in Wen Yuening's ear, "So... the Pavilion Master is a woman!"

Wen Yuening involuntarily took two steps back, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

"There's no need for such a strong reaction from the Pavilion Master. In fact, just now, in order to put Feng Shao at ease, the Pavilion Master accidentally revealed a woman's voice."

"Qingzhi and the other rough men may not have noticed, but I heard it all clearly. However, please rest assured, Master, I recognize you and will not reveal your secret to anyone else."

Qing Tang's hair was disheveled from the fall, and she tossed the stray strands with her fingers. Her eyes were smiling and charming, making one's heart flutter.

In the past, when Qing Tang went crazy towards her, she would ignore it and remain unmoved. But now, seeing the other party like this, she had a strange feeling that her body and mind had been tainted.

Goosebumps rose all over his body, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "I have things to take care of. You and Qingzhi and the others should clean this place up quickly, and then move all the documents to the backup point. Don't leave any loose ends."

"It's one thing if the Pavilion Master doesn't love me, but he's also so heartless when he orders me around."

Qing Tang's delicate voice made Wen Yuening briefly wish that the person in front of her was Shen Sangwan. Her Highness would definitely be very interesting when she acted coquettishly.

To avoid further entanglement, Wen Yuening ran in the opposite direction, jumped over the low wall, and disappeared in a flash.

The wound on her neck was still bleeding little by little. She had originally planned to just get some herbs to take back to the palace, but after entering the city gate, she suddenly changed her mind.

They changed course and sneaked into the Princess's residence.

He even waited for the blood to seep out and wiped it on his cuffs and collar. After his whole body was covered with a little bit of blood, he headed towards Shen Sangwan's courtyard.

In her previous life, she had lived in this mansion for more than ten years and was very familiar with every place. She avoided the imperial guards and climbed over into the bedroom.

"who?"

Shen Sangwan, who was lying on the soft couch pondering how to complete the task, heard the noise and sprang up to go to the window to check.

"Queen?"

Seeing the situation, Wen Yuening quickly pretended to faint.

"Hey, wake up!"

Shen Sangwan bent down and squatted down, gently pushing Wen Yuening.

"Xiao Tong, quickly check her over! Why does the Empress smell so strongly of blood? Or how did she get covered in blood?"

[Xiao Tong?]

Oh, here they come.

As if a delay had been activated, Xiaotong, whose reaction time was a few seconds slower, quickly got to work.

【My lord...the Empress...】

"What happened? Could she have died? Oh no, she's dead! What am I going to do?"

Shen Sangwan checked the other person's breath with some fear, and was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

[Cough cough cough, no, no, the Empress is fine, everything is normal.]

"Look at her! Is this normal? She's not even breathing!"

"So what if it's abnormal? What can I do if the other person is faking fainting?"

"If I expose her and she finds out, I'll definitely be in big trouble. I've already offended the Empress several times already!"

[It might be cardiac arrest caused by excessive blood loss. Why don't you try CPR plus artificial respiration? That would also accomplish the task.]

〖 ？ ？ 〗

"Xiaotong, you're behaving so incoherently! One minute you're fine, the next you're having a cardiac arrest. Is the system malfunctioning?"

"I...I think I'll have Shuyi go find a doctor."

[My lord, she is the Empress! If others find out that the Empress appeared at the Princess's residence covered in blood, what kind of uproar will that cause? Do you think you can handle the consequences?]

【CPR is very simple, Master, I'll teach you.】

"Hehe, although I dare not expose the Empress, it would be good if I could use my master to trick her."

If a normal person were to perform CPR, improper force could result in fractures or punctures. However, as long as he instructed his master to control the force, there would be no injury, and he could even make the Empress feel some pain.

"My lord, first lay the Empress flat on her back. Interlock your hands, palms overlapping, arms taut, and press down firmly on the center of her chest thirty times. Then pinch her mouth and nose shut and give two breaths as one cycle. Repeat this for about five cycles. If she still doesn't breathe, then I'm afraid even a miracle won't save her."

(Please refer to the correct CPR manual yourself. I have omitted some words to avoid including them. Please do not adopt the above.)

Shen Sangwan felt something was off, but seeing Wen Yuening's face gradually turning pale, she obediently did as Xiaotong said.

Wen Yuening didn't know what was going on either. At this moment, her consciousness was truly beginning to fade, and her heartbeat was becoming weak.

After taking off her outer clothes, Shen Sangwan straddled her, placed her hands on top of each other in front of her chest, and pressed down at a steady pace while counting.

After thirty, one hand pinched the other person's nose and kept prying open Wen Yue Ning's mouth.

After touching her slightly cool lips, she realized that Xiaotong wasn't lying to her.

After two cycles, Xiaotong realized something was wrong and quickly told Shen Sangwan to press with the correct pressure.

"Holy crap, no way, has the Empress gone too far?"

"Don't mess with me!"

Xiaotong became worried and scared. The main character of this side quest was dead, so what was the point of playing?

“Uh-huh—”

Shen Sangwan felt like her arm was about to leave home.

Why didn't anyone tell her that this thing is so tiring?

Fortunately, he's starting to breathe again.

There's no need for her to go through all this trouble.
