Quick Wear: She Whose Negative System Is Broken

Yu Tang went deep into the bedroom and turned around the screen, and saw Ji Qiyu in pajamas with disheveled hair, craning her neck with a look of eager anticipation.

The four maids around stood in the corner as quietly as wooden stakes, with an aura that could not be ignored.

"Yu Tang, I finally see you. Are you okay?" Ji Qiyu's eyes were filled with tears. He pinched her arm and choked.

"I've been fine for a long time. How about you? There has been no news for so long."

Ji Qiyu pulled her to sit down at the table. "I was in a coma for five or six days. When I woke up, I felt dizzy, nauseous and wanted to vomit all day long."

"I wanted to ask about your news at that time, but my father and mother refused and confined me to my room to concentrate on recuperating. Only now that I am well again, they let me summon you to the palace."

"Did anything come out of this assassination?"

Ji Qiyu shook his head, looking quite distressed. "Father sent people to check, but there was no news. I don't know if there is really no news, or if Father is unwilling to tell me."

"Then who do you think..." Yu Tang pondered, "who is the target of this assassination."

Ji Qiyu quickly reminded her to lower the volume, glanced at the four maids standing not far away, leaned close to Yu Tang's ear and whispered.

"I'm not sure about the first group, but the assassin who caught up with us later must have wanted to kill you."

Ji Qiyu said affirmatively that she had been thinking a lot during these days of staying in the house.

Yu Tang nodded, she thought so too.

The assassin was obviously hesitant towards Ji Qiyu. It was unclear whether the person behind the scenes didn't want to kill him, or the assassin didn't dare to kill him.

"I just met Fang Zhien, and an assassin came to kill me. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"

"This...can't be true."

Ji Qiyu didn't want to excuse Fang Zhien, but as soon as the two sides started talking, they found the assassin immediately, and even dared to kill people in front of the emperor during the autumn hunt.

This is not something that a powerless editor of the Hanlin Academy can do.

Even if he had the support of the Minister of Personnel, it would not be possible.

"What happened to the assassins who were fighting with the guards? Did they capture any alive?"

Ji Qiyu shook his head and said, "Some of them were too badly injured to escape and committed suicide by taking poison on the spot. There is no evidence to prove their wrongdoing."

She glanced at the four maids again and lowered her voice even lower, her hot breath reaching Yu Tang's ears.

"I didn't tell my father that the second assassin wanted to kill you. I have secretly ordered people to investigate some things."

If the assassination was directed at Ji Qiyu, then Yu Tang would be the hero who saved the princess.

But if it was Yu Tang who was assassinated and Ji Qiyu was dragged into it, then Yu Tang would become the sinner.

Yu Tang understood her intentions, and the two looked at each other and kept some distance between them.

"Two of my guards died of their injuries, and the other two are not in danger of death for the time being, but they are also seriously injured."

"In this day and age, a cold or fever can kill people. I don't know if they can make it through this."

When talking about this topic, she felt quite guilty.

"All I can do is to provide for their families, but no matter how much money I give them, it cannot comfort them from the pain of losing their loved ones."

Yu Tang knew that no matter what she said at this moment, it would be useless, so she gently embraced Ji Qiyu.

The two of them snuggled up to each other quietly, and even the four maids around them wondered if they were asleep.

When she left the palace, it was Ling Pingzhi who took her out again.

"Thank you for clearing up this servant's confusion before."

Ling Pingzhi thanked him respectfully, but Yu Tang waved his hand and said, "It's not worth it. I just said a few words."

As the two were talking, a team of bright yellow sedan chairs suddenly appeared in front of the alley.

Ling Pingzhi quickly grabbed her and knelt down close to the palace wall.

Originally, they were ready to leave after waiting for the emperor's carriage to arrive, but it stopped in front of them. Yu Tang heard a somewhat majestic and old voice.

"who is this."

"Your Majesty, this is Princess Hexi's friend outside the palace."

Yu Tang felt Ling Pingzhi pull her clothes, and immediately understood, and then replied, "Yes, I am Yu Tang, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Humph." Yu Tang heard the emperor snort coldly, "Not everyone can be a good friend of He Xi, especially those who love to stir up trouble and cause others to fight."

After saying this, the emperor's carriage drove away gradually, and Yu Tang pulled Ling Pingzhi up.

It was inexplicable. Why did the emperor seem so weird and stirring up trouble? Was he talking about her?

"Your Excellency should keep a low profile recently." Ling Pingzhi had no idea where the emperor's dissatisfaction came from, so he gave a kind reminder.

Yu Tang nodded indifferently, "I understand."

Cheng Chang, who was waiting at the palace gate, saw her come out and immediately led the carriage forward.

Ever since Yu Tang was sent back half-dead last time, Cheng Chang has been always nervous.

I rode in a carriage back home, surrounded by several burly men who escorted me along the way.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw the uninvited guest.

Fang's mother and her two maids were arguing with the gatekeeper at the door.

After coming to the capital, she learned some of the manners of a noble lady, but it was all just an act and could not hide her true nature.

Cheng Chang helped Yu Tang get off the carriage. "Who is this lady? What are you doing making such a fuss at the door of my house?"

When Fang's mother saw Yu Tang, she immediately put on the attitude of a mother-in-law and an elder, and questioned him fiercely.

"Well, you sneaked to the capital. Tell me, did you steal Xiaodu away?"

Yu Tang ignored her and walked around her into the house. Fang's mother was furious when she saw her like this. She touched her chest and chased after her. She walked so fast that she didn't look like someone who had been ill for a long time.

The guard reached out to stop him, but was stopped by Cheng Chang.

He understood what Yu Tang meant, and followed with the burly men.

When they arrived at the lobby, Yu Tang picked up the tea that Siji had just served on the table and took two sips.

I spent the whole morning there without even a sip of water. The palace is huge and it took me a long time to walk in the morning.

After drinking the tea to moisten her throat, she sat on the armchair and leisurely watched Fang's mother who came over breathlessly, supported by two maids on her left and right.

"Please take good care of your old lady. If anything happens to her, I won't be able to explain to Lord Fang."

"You...bitch, now that you have the princess...the princess as your backer, how dare you...talk to your mother-in-law like that?" Fang's mother almost choked.

"I can't breathe anymore. Take it easy. Don't faint and blame me." Yu Tang instructed the two maids beside Fang's mother to help her breathe easier.

"Besides, don't you know whether you are still my mother-in-law? Who hired the killer? How about we invite Lord Fang over to ask?"

"If you are really my mother-in-law, then it would be a serious crime for Lord Fang to divorce his wife and remarry."

"Oh, the old lady may not know what it means to divorce and remarry. Go back and ask Lord Fang. If you act like a mother-in-law again, I will file a complaint with the government."

Fang's mother looked worried, afraid that she had caused trouble for her son again, but when she saw that the person opposite her was Yu Songhua, whom she had enslaved and driven for several years, she forced herself to be arrogant again.

"I won't argue with you. Where is Xiaodu? Give him back to me. He is the offspring of our Fang family."

"Xiaodu? Who is Xiaodu?" Yu Tang asked with confusion.

"Don't play dumb. You don't even remember your son? There is no mother as cruel as you in the world." Fang's mother was getting angry and accused him harshly.

"Cruel? Who is cruel? You are greedy, vain, cruel, and you killed your wife and abandoned your children. In terms of cruelty, who can compare to you two, mother and son?"

"To tell you the truth, I don't have a son named Fang Du. I gave my son a new name, Yu Anhe."

"You, you are trying to make our Fang family's ancestors unhappy. What sin did our Fang family commit to marry a little whore like you? It's really a sin, a sin."

Fang's mother was shocked at first, and then she couldn't even stand up and fell into the maid's arms, crying and screaming.
