"break off an engagement?"

Li Jin nodded: "Yes, Gu Zian suddenly broke off the engagement, is there a conspiracy?"

The reaction of the Night Palace to this matter was completely different from that of the outside world.

Their relationship with the Queen was strained, and it wasn't much better with Gu Zian.

"No wonder she was in the palace that day."

Seeing him in deep thought, Li Jin asked, "Your Highness, are you talking about Gu Zian? On the day you entered the palace, he did ask to see His Majesty and the Queen and told them about breaking off the engagement."

But Xiao Heyun's expression was a little subtle.

Why did Gu Zian ruin such a favorable marriage for no reason?

He must know what kind of person the queen is.

If you ruin her business, it won't be a problem that can be solved by just an apology.

And...that person...

It is said that her marriage to Gu Zian was arranged by great efforts. It is also rumored that she is deeply in love with Gu Zian. Although the two of them are not in love with each other, they are very compatible.

Now that Gu Zian has broken off the engagement, how should she cope with it?

"Your Majesty, could it be that the negotiations broke down because the General's Mansion was unwilling to cooperate with them?"

Li Jin racked his brains and said, "If that's the case, then we have one less enemy."

After all, the General's Mansion has great prestige in the court, and it is not pleasant to be targeted by them.

Xiao Heyun came back to his senses and said, "Go check what happened."

"Don't worry, I sent someone to investigate when the rumor came out. I'm sure there will be news soon."

He nodded slightly, looking a little tired: "Well, leave now."

"Your Highness, please wait a moment and let the doctor diagnose you again. You don't look well."

Although he seemed to be recuperating these days, Xiao Heyun was not idle secretly.

Although he was young and strong, he could not bear such abuse of his body, so he lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

"Pass it on."

Although I don't have any hope, I still have to watch it.

He was injured in the army at the time. The other party was very cruel and had no intention of sparing his life.

If Xiao Heyun had not acted decisively, it would have been more than one leg that was broken.

Seeing this, Li Jin nodded quickly and called the doctor in.

"Your Highness still needs to take good care of his legs. He should be able to walk after half a year."

This means being able to walk, but unable to return to normal.

Li Jin was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there no other way?"

"The prince's leg was already seriously injured, and then he worked too hard and didn't have time to rest, so he must have developed a chronic disease."

The doctor then gave instructions: "Your Highness must rest well recently, otherwise your legs may not be able to walk in the future."

Even a body made of iron cannot withstand such torture, let alone a mortal body.

Xiao Heyun nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

The doctor then stood up and wrote a prescription.

Li Jin stood nearby, looking at his profile trapped in the darkness, feeling sad.

He knew very well how difficult it was for the prince to get to where he is today.

But they were unwilling to accept that everything was destroyed because of this incident.

"It's not your fault. If your leg can't be healed, then so be it, but you can't always live in the past."

Xiao Heyun seemed to have the ability to read minds and could tell what he was thinking.

“Your Majesty…”

"You don't have to worry about others, just do your best. The palace is now in trouble both internally and externally, and I can't move easily. Some things have to be handed over to you."

Li Jin quickly knelt on one knee and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best."

"Well, go check on the Gu and Nangong families and pay attention to the movements in the court."

"Yes!"

···········

In the evening, Nangong Yuan lay on the bed reading a book.

With a beep, the system released the task.

[The situation in the court is turbulent. Wang Yunshan, a senior official of the court, was stabbed to death. Please find out the truth, fix the plot bugs, and guide the plot to develop in a positive direction. After completing this, you will be rewarded with 200 points. Come on, host~]

Nangong Yuan clicked on the information and took a look, and said, "Uh, Wang Yunshan was the Minister of War. He died at the hands of... a servant?"

And it happened in a brothel. When she was found, she was stripped naked and hung on the stairs.

What a disgraceful way to die.

[Host, please note that there are hidden clues in this mission. Please explore carefully and complete the plot~]

The main task of the strategy system is to conquer Xiao Heyun, who is the main character.

The remaining side quests have three main points: first, to improve the plot and fix bugs. Second, to improve your own abilities and achieve various values. Third, the so-called hidden clues.

Nangong Yuan only unlocked this hidden clue twice in three years.

One is herself, one is related to Gu Zian, and this is the third one.

I don’t know who it’s related to.

"Okay, I accept the mission. How long will it take?"

[The task takes two months. If you complete it ahead of schedule, you will receive an extra reward. ]

This extra reward was just some trivial stuff, and Nangong Yuan didn't care much about it.

She went through the information from beginning to end and found some suspicious points.

How could Wang Yunshan, a high-ranking official of the current dynasty, be found in a brothel and be targeted and killed? Logically speaking, if these people wanted to have fun, they must have hidden places, it wouldn't have been like this.

Moreover, the information said that only Wang Yunshan died, so...when a senior official of the current dynasty went out, didn't he even have a guard?

There are quite a lot of oddities in this, if she wants to know, she'll probably have to look it up herself.

"Tsk, looks like I'll be busy again."

She originally thought that she would be able to complete the task quickly and would not have to run around anymore.

But after getting the mission objective wrong, she still had to continue working, which is miserable to think about.

The rest of the time travelers are either from wealthy families or have a golden finger, or they are so beautiful that they can make people fall at their feet just by beckoning their fingers.

Not only does she have to run around chasing the strategy target, but she also has to improve her various numerical abilities. Only after reaching the standards can she unlock the locked sections of the mall.

Come to think of it, she was really born to be a hard worker!

"By the way, system, there aren't any hard and fast targets for this attack on Xiao Heyun."

The system beeped twice before replying, "Due to a system error, no details have been issued yet. Please focus on the main quest."

In other words, as long as the data meets the requirements, nothing else matters.

For example, Gu Zian’s previous task had several detailed rules and was very complicated.

"That's great. After all, the villain will rebel in five years and then be killed by the protagonist. If I get too involved with him, I'll be in trouble."

[Host, rest assured, as long as the mission is completed, you can go to any world you want. 】

Nangong Yuan smiled and said, "You finally did something human."

The system screen flashed, and a speechless emoticon appeared.

"Sleep, I need to conserve my energy before I can go to work."

【Good night, host. See you tomorrow. 】
