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

At the Princess's residence, Shen Sangwan did not arrange for anyone to patrol at night, and all the secret guards were also stationed in the palace. Only Shuyun and her two subordinates were by her side.

Yuexin made her way smoothly and walked briskly to Shen Sangwan's bedroom in the main courtyard.

"She knows martial arts, and her skills must be exceptional."

Ruoying, being a martial artist, immediately noticed that the other woman's walking posture was unusual.

Shuyan felt that the person was walking extremely fast, and she couldn't keep up if she wasn't careful. Later, she felt like Ruoying was carrying her.

"On her very first day in the manor, she was so eager to find out about His Highness. Was she really sent by Prince Ming?"

Ruoying pouted and shook her head; her brain couldn't possibly understand so many twists and turns.

Shuyan recalled the information she had previously researched and the news she had obtained from others.

One conclusion was reached—the Ming King was definitely not a kind person.

Mingli always puts on a sickly appearance, as if she's about to die, but in private, she's done countless evil deeds that strike fear into the hearts of others.

How could someone with such a meticulous mind send over such a short-sighted informant?

"Squeak~"

Yuexin gently pushed open the door and then slipped inside.

"Miss Shuyan, shall we arrest her?"

"It's alright, let her look for it. His Highness's important things aren't in the manor."

Ruoying tilted her head, somewhat puzzled. If she wasn't catching the thief, why was she making her squat on the eaves in the middle of the night?

The moon doesn't seem to be very bright tonight.

"What are you staring at me for?"

"Miss Shuyan, you really are a strange person!"

"......" You're the weirdo, your whole family are weirdos.

If Shuyan weren't afraid that the other party would throw her down, she would have really wanted to kick Ruoying.

Yuexin first searched around the bedroom, but to no avail, so she moved on to the study.

After a thorough search, it was discovered that there wasn't even a hidden door.

I was puzzled, and then a little strange.

She wandered around for quite a while, making a small commotion, but if there were bodyguards present, it wouldn't be considered insignificant.

But even after all this time, no secret guards or bodyguards have come to arrest her.

If we don't arrest her, how will she finish her act?

"How could the guards at the residence of the esteemed Princess be so lax?"

"Our own prince even spent money to hire assassins from the martial arts world to kill him. It seems like a completely unnecessary thing to do."

"Fine, if it doesn't work today, we'll find another day."

Yuexin returned empty-handed, slipping into the darkness and heading back to the East Garden.

"Miss Shuyan, Yuexin is gone, we should go back now."

"It's quite cool on the roof."

This was the first time Shuyan had ever experienced being lifted onto a roof.

Due to its location, the Princess's residence is probably second only to the Fuyu Pavilion.

Standing on this rooftop, you can overlook most of Zhongdu.

The city was ablaze with the glow of night lights, the temples were ablaze with lights, and the Milky Way stretched across the sky. Only the crescent moon seemed to carry a hint of imperfection.

"Looking up at the green mountains and down at the city, the lights are scattered like a myriad of pearls."

She preferred the ancient charm of the low-rise buildings in the city to the neon-lit skyscrapers of modern times.

Ruoying didn't quite understand Shuyan at this moment, so she just stood obediently beside her, paying close attention to the surrounding movements.

After a while, the wind blew, and then the night watchman's clapper was heard striking in the alley outside until the third watch (11 p.m. - 1 a.m.).

Shuyan covered her mouth and yawned, then grabbed Ruoying's hand, "Let's go back to the East Garden."

......

The spacious and magnificent mansion had its four eaves upturned high, and the latticed windows were half-open, allowing the afterglow of the setting sun to be neatly spread across the window frames, casting the shadows of the sycamore leaves outside into the house.

On the rosewood openwork carved lotus flower canopy bed, shadows overlapped.

The woman's fingers gently slid along the fair skin beside her delicate collarbone.

The fingertips are warm and smooth like jade.

A gentle warmth flowed from her fingertips.

After touching the softness of the person beneath him, he mischievously pinched it.

"Your Highness~"

A tingling, numb sensation.

It makes people tremble.

The sounds that escaped her lips were quite charming.

"good!"

It fell with the utmost tenderness and lingering affection, as if its gentleness could melt away her bones.

Their breathing became heavy, and they clung to each other.

The woman greedily grasped at the other person's scent.

Explore every corner with all your might.

A sudden surge of emotion made them forget everything around them.

"Your Highness~"

"It hurts~"

The person beneath him had misty eyes, as if they were about to drip water.

The woman felt a pang of sympathy and loosened her grip slightly.

The incense from the incense burner rose gently, and was dispersed by the breeze brought in from outside the vermilion window.

The sounds of panting on the bed were swallowed up by the wind.

......

The east is white and the morning dew is faint.

Shen Sangwan woke up with a start from her dream.

"Waaaaah, Hitomi, I had a wet dream!"

Why does the master cry when having a wet dream?

I didn't see the beauty's face!

【...】

But I heard that person call me Your Highness. Have I been playing the role of the eldest princess for too long that I'm even dreaming about her?

Although Xiao Yanyan guessed that she herself was the eldest princess, there were still many things that didn't make sense and needed to be verified.

My lord, I have reason to suspect that the object of your erotic dream was the Empress.

So, who's on top, you or her?

Seeing that Shen Sangwan had a dark expression and ignored her, Xiaotong subconsciously thought that Shen Sangwan was the bottom one.

【Oh my, Master, you wouldn't be... cough cough cough, oh well, it's more comfortable lying down, isn't it?】

Shen Sangwan's face darkened even more.

She found it hard to believe that such words came from the mouth of a little kid who looked only five or six years old.

[I never would have guessed! The Empress, who usually seems so gentle and frail, could actually command your respect—ah!]

[Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! It hurts—!]

[Master, you lack martial ethics!]

Xiao Tong was forced out of her consciousness and transformed into a derivative form.

Shen Sangwan grabbed his ear and gave him a good beating.

[You're the one on top, remember that! If you dare say I'm the one on the bottom again, you'll regret it!]

[Waaaaah, I've got it, I've got it. Master is the one below... oh no no no, the one above, the most valiant one, the really fierce one!]

This demonstrates just how strong the will to survive can be in a humble system!

Was it easy for him? If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have asked his master to research the system in the first place.

The master has figured it out, but he's in trouble.

Throughout history, those who vie for the top position are often the ones below; their own master is truly stubborn as a mule.

Only after she had vented her anger did Shen Sangwan call Shuyi in to serve her.

After washing up, she had breakfast served.

Xiaotong ruined my mood this morning, and I only ate a small half bowl of meat porridge.

Shuyun went to investigate the events surrounding Consort Yu's entry into the palace overnight.

"Your Highness, Consort Yu usually stays indoors and rarely leaves the house. Whether it's poetry gatherings or elegant parties organized by noblemen or football and horse racing games organized by ladies, she basically refuses them all."

"He did not do anything unusual before entering the palace."

"But her maid, named He Wu, disguised herself and frequented brothels."

Shen Sangwan had intended to eat more, but after hearing Shuyun's words, she lost all appetite.
