A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

Seeing Bai Luoluo's adoring expression, Gu Yanchi became even more puzzled.

This thing was small and exquisite; he had never seen anything like it before.

It has some weight in your hand, and it looks like it's made of metal, but it also seems different.

"What is this? Luo'er seems to like it very much."

Gu Yanchi asked.

Bai Luoluo looked up upon hearing this, "This is a treasure, I'll tell you about it later."

"Since Luo'er likes it so much, I can have someone make a few to send to you."

"I can't make this. I'm a little hungry."

Bai Luoluo packed away the pistol, poison, and dagger.

"Okay, let's go eat first."

"Ah."

The meal was already prepared, and Bai Luoluo noticed that many of the dishes were nourishing, knowing that Gu Yanchi had ordered them to be prepared.

"How is Xiao Tao?"

"She's a little weak, so don't worry if she's with Leng Ye."

Gu Yanchi served her a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of Bai Luoluo.

"Luo'er lost too much blood this time, so she should stay at the Prince's Mansion to recover properly."

Bai Luoluo took a sip, and it tasted delicious.

"It is really inappropriate to stay in the Prince's Mansion. We should return to the General's Mansion now."

"There's no need to go back. I went to the palace last night to request permission. The Emperor was furious when he heard about the assassination attempt. Luo'er, just focus on recovering. No one will gossip. The imperial physician examined you last night and said you need to rest."

Gu Yanchi briefly explained his plans to enter the palace.

Intelligent, courageous, and good-looking—she's flawless.

He was definitely the male lead, but unfortunately, the author wrote him as the villain.

Since the author is clearly out of his mind, she had no choice but to step in and set things right.

“I like Achi’s work very well. Now that the Emperor has ordered a thorough investigation, I think some people will be getting restless.”

Bai Luoluo praised, and that was the truth.

He is truly exceptional; if he successfully transcends his tribulation, he will surely achieve great things.

"I will not let anyone who harms the orphans go unpunished."

He didn't want to fight for anything, but these people just wouldn't let him go. Fine, this time he'd fight to his heart's content and kill all the obstacles in his way.

He died from the poison later, and he hoped that Bai Luoluo would live a carefree and smooth life from then on.

He will do everything well in his limited lifespan.

"Don't let these scum get away. I will join forces with Achi to kill them and restore peace to this place."

Bai Luoluo finally understood: as long as the male and female protagonists and the empress don't die, this world will be corrupted.

Then she transformed into a cleaning master and cleaned up all the debris.

"If Luo'er is happy, that's good. However, the Empress's power is now so great that it's unlikely to be resolved all at once. We need to take it slowly."

“That’s right. I went to the prison with Achi to interrogate the assassin.”

Bai Luoluo wanted to get the assassin to talk, and when the evidence was right in front of her, the Emperor probably wouldn't let it go.

"Luo'er's injuries haven't healed yet, I'll handle this."

"They're all superficial injuries. I want to go to jail to see them."

Bai Luoluo's soft tone sounded like a coquettish charm to Gu Yanchi.

“The dark prison is damp, and I’m afraid Luo’er’s body won’t be able to withstand it.”

Gu Yanchi was worried that Bai Luoluo was weak and injured.

Moreover, the dark dungeons held serious criminals and were bloody and damp, making them unsuitable for women to enter.

"Don't worry, my body is much stronger than before. That snake gall last time was really good stuff. I don't know if it's because of the snake gall, but my wounds are healing very quickly now."

Bai Luoluo discovered that the wound on her shoulder didn't hurt at all, and she felt a force lingering inside her body.

When she fought the assassin, her movements became noticeably faster.

If that palm strike had been delivered to her previous body, she would have been dead long ago, but now she is perfectly fine.

At this point, Gu Yanchi seemed to understand.

"Luo'er is right. That snake gall is indeed a good thing. My power has increased for at least five years. Perhaps it is because the snake gall changed Luo'er's physique."

Gu Yanchi felt that everything in the world was truly amazing, and he had never heard of snake gall having such miraculous effects before.

That day, he truly turned misfortune into blessing; all of this was bestowed upon him by Bai Luoluo.

"So I'm perfectly healthy, Achi, there's nothing to worry about."

Many questions arose in Bai Luoluo's mind.

She transmigrated into a palace intrigue novel, which nowadays has a somewhat mystical feel to it.

Medicine, a pistol, and snake gall appeared out of nowhere and became miraculous cures.

Moreover, many plot points shouldn't have occurred; she has successfully escaped the fate of becoming the male lead's concubine and has not suffered the punishment she imagined.

According to the original plot, this assassination attempt was completely different from what was written in the book.

Was it her arrival that changed the original plot, or was she being manipulated by someone in the dark?

Bai Luoluo felt a little scared at this moment. If someone really did this on purpose, would that person still be human?

"Luo'er... what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that she seemed preoccupied, Gu Yanchi couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"It's alright, I've finished eating."

Bai Luoluo put down her chopsticks.

"Then let's go to the Department of Cautious Punishment, lest things get complicated."

At this moment, Gu Yanchi also put down his chopsticks and stood up.

"Ah."

The two boarded the carriage and headed straight for the Censorate.

The Department of Cautious Punishment!

............

Leng Feng looked at the already cold corpse with a solemn expression.

"Who has been to the dark dungeon?"

He frowned and looked at the guard, asking.

"Reporting to Guard Feng, we did not see anyone come to the dark prison."

The two guards replied in unison.

At this moment, Gu Yanchi and Bai Luoluo walked into the dark prison together.

"What happened?"

Gu Yanchi's voice was cold and authoritative, and Leng Feng turned around instantly.

"My subordinates failed in their duties; Lü Qiang and the assassin are all dead."

Leng Feng knelt on one knee.

He only went to the outhouse and ate a bite of food in the main hall, and then he died mysteriously.

When did he die?

A hint of displeasure flashed in Gu Yanchi's eyes.

"I don't know."

Gu Yanchi was somewhat angry that Gu Yanchi knew nothing about the matter.

"Achi, I want to see the body."

The person is dead; there's no point in saying anything more.

With so many guards protecting the dark dungeon, how could someone die so mysteriously?

"Luo'er, be careful, I'll take you there."

Gu Yanchi said gently.

Leng Feng remained kneeling, not daring to get up.

Seeing this, Bai Luoluo knew that the matter was of great importance and that Leng Feng had failed in his duty, but the hidden danger was impossible to guard against.

“Guard Leng, stand up and tell me in detail who came at that time.”

Upon hearing this, Leng Feng stood up.

No suspicious persons have been here.

Upon seeing the corpse in the cell, Bai Luoluo went straight forward.

Upon examination, the patient's eyes and pulse were found to be normal, and there were no external injuries on the body.

The deceased still had food in his mouth, indicating that he died while eating.

Bluish-purple fingernails indicate poisoning.

Bai Luoluo took out a silver needle, inserted it, and when she picked it up again, it instantly turned black.

"The cause of death was poisoning, which is colorless and odorless dove poison."

This is outrageous! How dare they poison me!

Gu Yanchi exuded a cold anger. He had finally found a sliver of evidence, only to have it all cut off like that.

"Cold Wind, go and arrest the man who delivered the prison food."

"Yes."

The cold wind obeyed the order.
