Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

The atmosphere in the shop was a little awkward.

Chen Xi took a big sip of tea, trying to break the atmosphere, and asked, "Is Jun Ye very powerful?"

Yao Jun had no intention of hiding it from this fellow villager. Since she would stay with him from now on, she would know sooner or later.

"Jun Ye is an idle organization. Although it is not as powerful as the princes, they can do a lot of things in secret."

"This organization hates evil and will show no mercy to anyone, even if they are nobles, if they commit evil deeds that anger the gods and the people."

Chen Xi muttered quietly: "So amazing."

Why does it sound like there is a villain organization behind the scenes?

Thinking of Batian and his attitude towards the person in front of him, Chen Xi became nervous again. He quickly drank a sip of tea to calm his nerves and asked carefully, "So, sir, are you Jun Ye's man?"

Yao Jun looked at her with a cold expression and said calmly, "Why, are you scared?"

"No, it's not, don't misunderstand me, sir."

Chen Xi hurriedly said, "Master, you have helped me many times, and I am in danger now. I am so grateful that I don't know how to repay you."

"It's normal for a naive girl like me to be afraid when something like this happens to me, right?"

Yao Jun raised his eyebrows. The young fellow was quite good at making excuses for herself. But what she said was not wrong. It was indeed normal to be afraid.

"Don't worry, I'm here to make sure you two are safe."

"Young Master will be here in a few days, and the city gates will certainly be opened by then. I will find a chance to send you out of the city."

"These few days, you should get well as soon as possible. After we leave the city, we must leave Chen Country as soon as possible."

Chen Xi looked at the confident Yao Jun, his heart beating like a deer, as if it had taken root in his heart, making him feel dazed.

Yao Jun looked at her with amusement, thinking it was quite interesting and it was worth it for him to protect her.

The two of them didn't say anything more after that. After drinking the tea, Chen Xi went to rest. After all, he had a fever last night and his health was still not good.

After she left, Yao Jun turned off the oil lamp in the shop, and fell into darkness. He sat at the table motionless, like a stone sculpture.

In the capital city under the cover of night, countless shadowy figures shuttled between the houses. From time to time, a dark shadow fell to the ground, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

In the royal palace, in a luxurious palace, a beautiful woman, wearing a moon-white dress, sat on a couch.

Her beautiful and elegant face was now filled with anger. Her slender five fingers were shaking as they gripped the tea bowl on the table. She was burning with rage in her heart.

"Lie'er died such a tragic death, and was even hanged on the city wall. And there are still people secretly trying to hold us back!"

"What on earth do they want to do!"

The eunuchs in the palace obeyed orders but dared not say a word.

The fourth prince, who was sitting at the first seat on the left, stood up and said, "Please calm down, mother. We need to think about this matter carefully, so as not to fall into their trap."

Madam Qingyue looked at her son, as if she had found a backbone in her heart, and said sadly: "Lie'er is your biological brother, he died so tragically, his skin was flayed and his bones were broken!"

"We have mobilized so many people, but we still haven't found the whereabouts of the perpetrator. Even your father..."

The fourth prince hurriedly shouted: "Mother, be careful with your words!"

"Ugh!" Madam Qingyue almost said something wrong, so she quickly calmed herself down, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and calmed herself down.

Seeing that his mother had calmed down, the Fourth Prince drove out all the eunuchs in the palace, leaving only a few.

The fourth prince looked across and saw a burly old man who looked somewhat similar to Madam Qingyue.

"Grandpa, what's the situation in the city now? Are there any moves from my eldest and second brothers?"

This old man was Madam Qingyue's father, Yang Tianxi, one of the four great generals of Chen State. He had a serious expression on his face and said after thinking for a moment: "The eldest prince and the second prince did not make any unusual moves, but..."

Yang Tianxi looked up at his grandson and said in a deep voice: "The third prince went to the queen's bedroom this evening. The king was having dinner there at the time. We don't know what they talked about yet."

"But then, the city defense forces in various parts of the city were strictly ordered not to move without the permission of the Lord."

"Third brother!?"

Fourth Prince Chen Shan really didn't expect that the first person to take action would be this person. "Hasn't he always been obsessed with the study of elixirs? Why is he so obsessed with this time... I don't understand."

Not only did he not understand, but Madam Qingyue, General Yang and others were also puzzled.

The third prince was a man of aloof temperament. He was obsessed with the study of elixirs and had no interest in state affairs. He often visited other vassal states and rarely stayed in the capital.

That is why the Third Prince Chen Shu has a good relationship with all his brothers, especially the eldest prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince. After all, the four of them are brothers.

The four princes are all Queen Meng’s biological sons.

This is also the reason why although Madam Qingyue is favored, the queen is still Queen Meng. This is the confidence.

"Could it be that the third brother went there for the eldest brother?" The tenth prince Chen Caimiao frowned and said.

"It's possible. After all, Third Brother seldom gets involved in such matters, unless the eldest brother asks him to do so." Chen Shan said in a bad tone, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes.

While they were discussing and speculating here, the matter was also being discussed in a huge mansion in the city.

The eldest prince, Chen Wen, sat at the head of the group, looking at the people below, and said in a deep voice, "Third brother, what did you say to father today?"

Chen Shu sat in his seat looking drowsy. When his elder brother asked him, he said frankly, "Nothing. I wanted to go out of the city to collect some herbs, but the city gates were strictly prohibited, so I went to tell my father and had a meal with my mother."

"If you don't believe me, you can go ask mother. I really didn't say anything. I don't know why father gave such an order."

Chen Wen stared at his brother for a while, then waved his hand and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter is too coincidental. As soon as you left, your father issued this order."

Then he picked up a token on the table, handed it to the attendant beside him, and asked him to deliver it to Chen Shu, saying: "If you want to leave the city, just find me, no need to trouble my father."

After receiving the token, Chen Shu stood up from his seat happily, "Thank you, brother."

Then he murmured helplessly, "I should have known not to go to my father, and I got scolded."

Chen Shu targeted a pair of twin brothers, the seventh prince Chen Jing and the eighth prince Chen Zhao.

The four brothers have a very good relationship. Chen Jing said with a smile: "Third brother, did father say that you are running around again?"

"Yes, I have things to do in Yujing. If Master Jun hadn't come, I wouldn't have come back." Chen Shu sighed.

After he finished speaking, he yawned and said sleepily, "Big Brother, Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first. I have to leave the city tomorrow morning."

The eldest prince Chen Wen was also speechless about his younger brother. He clearly had excellent talents, but he wasted them on elixirs.

Now that he had the token to leave the city, he was ready to leave. This was indeed his nature. Chen Wen waved his hand and said, "Go back and rest. It's not safe at night. I'll have someone take you there."

"it is good!"

Chen Shu carefully put away the token, said good night to everyone present, trotted away, got on the carriage and headed home.

The third prince's mansion was not nearby, because he wanted to grow a lot of medicinal herbs, so his mansion was built near the water source in the city, quite far from the palace.

Chen Shu sat in the carriage and swayed to the door of his house, where servants immediately came out to greet him.
