Paranoid Raiders Manual [Quick Pass]

*

The water mist is lingering, like a dream.

Looking at each other, Qiao Xi was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground and get in.

The palm was still on the opponent's chest, so stiff that he dared not move.

The delicate touch, the warm body temperature...

And under the eyes... the pretty red plums...

Every inch is perfect and not real.

"Your Highness..."

Shrinking her body like a quail, Qiao Xi couldn't see what to do, wishing she could just bury her in the water.

"..."

The flat expression was like a glass-like tortoise. Cracks popped open, her beautiful eyes widened, looking at the sudden woman in front of her, Her Royal Highness was short of breath, and was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time.

this person……

always so unexpected...

Keep her off guard.

"you……"

Her chest was shaking constantly because of anger, and even the blooming red plums were trembling along with it.

Delicate and charming, arousing love and affection.

Qiao Xi couldn't help staring blankly.

"... Get out!"

Seeing her scorching gaze, Gu Luan's complexion suddenly changed.

Suddenly buried her body in the water, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she just raised her leg and kicked it.

The space in the bathtub was already limited. The two of them were so close, and when she kicked them suddenly, Qiao Xi only felt a pain in her buttocks, so she didn't dare to pretend to be stupid anymore.

Jumping out of the tub in a hurry, she had a flustered expression, dragged her wet clothes, and exited behind the screen.

"This subordinate will leave..." she said with her head bowed.

The sound is as small as a mosquito.

"stop."

I didn't know why I called her to stop, I just opened my mouth subconsciously, Gu Luan frowned, and stood up from the bathtub.

The sound of 'crashing la la' water was very loud in the silent room, she lowered her head even lower, Qiao Xi stood motionless, not saying a word.

After touching half a stick of incense, there was a figure in his lowered vision, and then he felt his head sinking, and the voice of Her Royal Highness followed.

"Wipe it off," she said.

Wipe?

Confused, she tore off a piece of cloth from her head. Qiao Xi took a closer look. The fabric was soft and embroidered with lace...

Looks like an ancient 'bath towel'...

With that in mind, she did the same.

After brushing her hair carelessly, Qiao Xi thanked her with a grateful face: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

"Ah…"

Looking at her coldly, Gu Luan sat down on the chair in the room.

The clothes on her body were simply wrapped, and at this moment she just wanted to ask this person.

"Why are you here?" she asked.

Slowly picking up the teacup from the table, Her Royal Highness poured herself a cup of tea.

"Your Highness..." After hurriedly saluting, Qiao Xi said directly: "This subordinate has something important to report to Your Highness."

"What can make you so anxious that you don't even care about the rules?" She said calmly.

"Subordinate..." Knowing what she was talking about, Qiao Xi had a look of embarrassment on her face: "Subordinate didn't mean it."

She doesn't want to run into the princess taking a bath every time...

Simply a challenge.

"You really didn't mean it..." Gu Luan smiled, "You are sincere."

Qiao Xi: "..."

have to.

It seems that the offense is over.

"Your Highness..." Feeling like crying, Qiao Xi didn't intend to dwell on this issue: "This time, this subordinate came to you to talk about the blood gu."

She went straight to the point.

"How?" Gu Luan's expression moved slightly.

"Last time I learned from the Gu master that someone in the capital city bought her blood Gu. After investigation, my subordinates suspected that it was the empress's empress..." With her eyes open and talking nonsense, Qiao Xi continued to explain: "Your Highness has As everyone knows, this blood Gu is a very powerful Gu, it likes to eat human blood and is good at hiding, it is almost impossible for ordinary doctors to find it..."

Grumblingly, she told the princess everything she knew, and she directly pointed it out with a loyal face: "This subordinate is worried that the empress will use the blood gu to harm people..."

"..."

Looking at the person in front of him with a complex expression, Gu Luan couldn't tell what he was feeling.

In fact, she has always known about the blood gu.

Not only that, but she also knew how far the Queen had come.

It's just that she never expected that a shadow guard trained by the queen would tell herself this without hesitation.

"If I remember correctly...that man seems to be your master..."

She betrayed the queen so decisively, did she really know what she was doing?

With deep eyes, Gu Luan picked up the teacup and sipped it.

"Your Highness!" The expression changed from stupefied to angry, Qiao Xi clenched her fists and raised her head abruptly: "This subordinate belongs to Her Highness the Princess! You are the only master, Your Highness!"

"Oh?" He replied in a neutral voice, obviously not convinced.

"Your Highness!"

With a sad look of being 'insulted', Qiao Xi raised three fingers and knelt down.

"Your subordinate's loyalty to you can be learned from the sun and the moon! If there is even the slightest falsehood, the subordinate will be struck by lightning and die!"

"..."

The fingers holding the teacup were slightly stiff, seeing her serious and calm gesture, Gu Luan's eyes flickered slightly, and a sense of joy rose uncontrollably in his heart.

"Okay... Bengong understands what you mean." She lowered her head and took a sip of her tea.

"Your Highness's lesson!" A look of joy flashed across her eyes, and Qiao Xi hurriedly took advantage of the victory to pursue her: "This time back to court...Your Highness must be careful and take precautions."

"It's nothing." Waving his hand indifferently, Gu Luan raised his eyes: "I know that well."

"Yes." Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

All that needs to be said has been said, as long as Her Royal Highness is on guard, the Queen should not be able to succeed so easily.

Perhaps her expression was too obvious, Gu Luan stared at it for a while, and asked casually, "Is the injury on your body healed?"

Hearing the princess' question, Qiao Xi was stunned, "It's okay to go back to Your Highness."

"..."

I don't know if she believed her words, Gu Luan put down the teacup, and said without changing expression: "For your loyalty, I don't care about the rudeness this time, but..."

The corners of the mouth were raised slightly, and Her Royal Highness began to burst into a smirk: "...I don't want to see you for a short time..."

"If you dare to appear in front of me again..."

Slowly picking up the tea cup she just drank from the table, she unceremoniously smashed the cup in front of Qiao Xi.

"That's it," she said.

His eyes were sharp and cool.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Feeling threatened.

【叮咚——

Trigger random missions.

Task details: Collect the broken cups from Her Royal Highness.

Mission reward: 100J]

"..."

Staring blankly at the torn cup on the ground, Qiao Xi's brain twitched, and she said smoothly, "Your Highness..."

"Ok?"

"Can this subordinate take these fragments away..."

Gu Luan: "..."

What are these requirements? ?

"up to you."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Qiao Xi was satisfied.

With a relaxed expression, she began to pick up the debris with her head down.

Gu Luan: "..."

The mood is complicated, and he hesitates.

*

"Subordinates retire."

Holding the fragments, Qiao Xi left.

"..."

Watching her walk out of the room, Her Royal Highness turned cold and stood up from the chair.

Walking to the screen, she glanced at the cold bathtub, and then at the roof above, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

That's all for the last time.

But what about this time?

When she first started taking a bath, she was very sure that there was no one else in the room.

and so……

How did it get in?

"Shadow One." She said quietly.

As soon as the voice fell, a figure appeared outside the house.

Pushing open the door, the man walked in.

"Your Highness." She saluted respectfully.

"Did you see it? How did she get in." Gu Luan asked her.

"This subordinate didn't see clearly." Ying Yi said.

"Could it be that it just appeared out of thin air?" Her Royal Highness laughed.

After a while, she stopped smiling and gave Ying a cold look.

"Go down and get punished," she said.

Really useless.

"Yes." Shadow One stepped back.

For a moment, the room regained its calm.

After half an hour.

"Heh...it's really interesting."

With a chuckle, Gu Luan stood against the light with an inexplicable expression.

What else is there about her that she doesn't know?

……

……

Since that day, Qiao Xi has never seen the princess again.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

After arranging the post-disaster reconstruction, Gu Luan was finally about to leave for the dynasty.

The people in the mansion became busy because of this, and after another three days, they set off.

"Your Highness, have a good journey..."

"Grassmen send His Highness respectfully..."

"your Highness……"

……

……

Hearing that the princess was leaving, enthusiastic people spontaneously sent out to see her off.

Being blocked at the gate of the city for more than half an hour, Gu Luan sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and waved goodbye to the people.

The originally short journey took a whole morning, and the county magistrate reluctantly said goodbye to the princess after he escorted the princess out of the city.

"My lord Wang has been bothered about the flood this time, and I will definitely report it truthfully."

These are Gu Luan's original words.

Ling Mo is ambiguous, which makes people think about it.

Obviously, magistrate Wang thought too much.

"Your Highness, have a good journey." He was overjoyed.

……

The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

Without the interference of heavy rain, the journey back was much easier than when we came.

Following silently behind the carriage, Qiao Xi looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.

The princess was really angry with her...

Going back this time, she wasn't even allowed to get in the carriage.

Thinking of the treatment she received when she came here, and comparing it to the present, Qiao Xi secretly complained.

The system is really a pit than...

It really hurt her...

Not knowing what the outsiders were thinking, Gu Luan was lazily eating grapes on the soft couch in the carriage.

The crystal grapes are bright in color and delicious in the mouth.

It's just more troublesome...

After peeling off a few, she didn't bother to move anymore, Her Highness the Princess wiped her hands, and opened her mouth to ask someone to come in.

It's just that the words came to her lips, and she didn't know what she thought of, but she still didn't say anything after all.

……

*

Qiao Xi fell out of favor.

She suddenly realized this very clearly.

It has been two days since I returned to the Princess Mansion, but no matter how much she inquired in these two days, there was no news of Her Highness the Princess.

From Jincheng to now, for such a long time, I just didn't even see Gu Luan.

Now that I finally got back to the mansion, I thought my hard life was over.

Who wants to make things worse, not only can't see the princess, but now they don't even know what's going on.

"Hey……"

Sighing lightly, putting down the broom in her hand, Qiao Xi decided to find a Gu Master.

I don't know if what he said last time worked, this time when he came back from Jincheng, Gu Luan actually brought back the Gu master.

At this time, the Gu Master was raised in the east of the Princess Mansion, the furthest away from the residence of Her Highness the Princess.

"..."

Thinking of Gu Luan's little problem of being afraid of bugs, Qiao Xi curled her lips and couldn't help laughing.

After trotting all the way to Gu Master's side, she asked the maid, and she learned a shocking fact.

The Gu Master actually entered the palace with His Highness the Princess...

Just two days ago.

"Two days ago?"

Didn't they just return home two days ago?

"Yes, His Highness took the girl to the palace and has not come back yet." That's what the servant girl said.

"...I see." His expression was complicated.

Leaving from the east courtyard and walking back, Qiao Xi was secretly thinking about the current plot.

If she guessed correctly, the queen should have already made a move at this time.

In other words, the blood gu has been fed to the emperor.

So……

With a flash of inspiration in her mind, Qiao Xi stopped in her tracks.

There can only be two reasons why Gu Luan was called to the palace, one was to report the disaster in Jincheng, and the other was because the emperor needed the 'blood of his dearest relatives'.

In the plot given by the system, when the emperor summoned Gu Luan, he vomited blood and fell into a coma due to the backlash of the blood gu.

Because of this, Her Royal Highness was forced to stay in the palace.

"Okay." Qiao Xi frowned.

She must go to the palace immediately.

The emperor was in a coma for three full days, and when he woke up, he would tell Gu Luan about his critical illness and ask her to bleed for help.

Of course, it didn't work out in the end.

In the palace where the queen is, there are traps everywhere.

Gu Luan's blood did not alleviate the emperor's symptoms, but made him more painful. Because of this, the rumors about Her Royal Highness being not her own were confirmed.

What kind of blood gu, what kind of 'blood of the biological child', are all paving the way for this time.

As long as it can be confirmed that Gu Luan is not of the emperor's blood, even if she is talented, it is impossible for her to inherit the throne.

The throne of the Gu family will never be passed on to 'outsiders'.

This is the ultimate purpose of the Queen.

"..."

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. I didn't expect that the plot, which was still early, would be brought forward because of Gu Luan's early return. Qiao Xi needed to go to the palace immediately to stop Gu Luan from "bleeding to rescue".

【system? 333? ] She tried to call in her heart.

【Drip——

System upgrade...]

Hearing the emotionless reply in her head, Qiao Xi couldn't help but have black lines all over her head.

"..."

How long has it been.

Why haven't you upgraded yet?

It seems that the idea of ​​using the system can be snuffed out.

She can only go to the palace by herself.

……

……

Without the help of the system, the martial arts internal force will naturally be useless.

After tossing and tossing several times, Qiao Xi reluctantly accepted this fact.

Although she was not restricted from entering and leaving the Princess Mansion, it was not so easy to enter the palace.

"Hey……"

Do I need to buy skills again...

Opening the system store with complicated emotions, Qiao Xi glanced at three things, and quickly selected what she wanted.

——'Invisibility Cloak': As long as you wear it, no one can find you (unlimited number of uses)

——Price: 1000J

so expensive...

Qiao Xi shed tears of poverty.

Silently staring at its price and frequency, she bought the 'cloak' with tears in her eyes after agonizing over it for a while.

Although the invisibility cloak has the word cloak in its name, its actual appearance is more like two bracelets.

Put the bracelet on the wrist and touch it three times, and the stealth mode will be automatically turned on, which is very convenient.

That morning, Qiao Xi used the 'Hidden Dou' to successfully sneak into the palace.

Once entering the palace gate, there are two worlds. Without the lively hawking outside, the palace is heavily guarded and the atmosphere is dignified.

Guards can be seen everywhere in twos and threes, and the court ladies and eunuchs are also in a hurry.

While sighing in her heart, Qiao Xi carefully searched for the location of the princess.

Two hours later.

East Palace——

Seeing the large number of peripheral guards, Qiao Xi confirmed the location of Her Highness the Princess.

Gu Luan was indeed imprisoned in disguise.

Her heart tightened, and she began to think about how to get in.

The invisibility cloak can only hide her figure and aura, but it cannot directly turn her into air.

In other words, if she accidentally bumped into someone, the other person could still feel it.

and so……

Frowning high, she looked at the red wall in front of her, and decided to climb over the wall and enter.

Surrounded the outside, and found a relatively low wall, Qiao Xi passed the big tree on one side, and climbed up with a 'hum huh huh'.

Quickly jumping from the high branch to the top of the wall, she held on to the red brick tightly, not daring to move while hanging on the wall.

The movement of jumping over the wall was very big, which naturally attracted the attention of the guards.

But because she was invisible and high above her body, she was not found.

After successfully sneaking into the East Palace and seeing a few familiar faces, Qiao Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Looks like I found the right one...

It wasn't until this time that she discovered that Her Royal Highness not only brought a Gu Master with her when she entered the palace this time, but also Qinglian who had been dispatched to the outer court a long time ago.

Why did His Highness bring her...

Eyelids fluttered, Qiao Xi followed the person carrying the food box.

Walking through the huge courtyard ahead, the two arrived outside the room of Her Royal Highness the Princess one after the other.

"His Royal Highness passed on the meal just now."

Qinglian said to the two guards guarding the door.

"Go in..." The guard didn't stop him.

It should have been explained long ago.

Following Qinglian closely, Qiao Xi rowed in together.

In the dim room, the elegant incense was slowly burning, and the white mist rose, adding a little fairy air.

"Your Highness...the servant has brought you meals."

Putting the food box in her hand on the empty table, Qinglian stood where she was, without stepping into the inner room.

After a while, the voice of Her Royal Highness Princess came from the room along with a burst of thin and broken sounds.

"The meal is on the table, you come in first."

"Yes."

Qinglian obeyed.

……

After entering the back room, Qiao Xi finally saw the princess whom she hadn't seen for many days.

The beautiful face is slightly thinner, and she has an elegant figure, standing in the room and writing.

Looking at the neatly placed bookshelves, calligraphy and paintings around her, Qiao Xi realized that it turned out to be a study room.

"your Highness."

Qinglian stood in the house and saluted.

Not too far away from Gu Luan.

"How is it over there now?" The hand holding the pen stopped, Gu Luan raised his head, and asked with a cold expression: "Is the father still awake?"

"Return to Your Highness, not yet." Qing Lian said.

"Hmm..." Nodding unexpectedly, Her Highness Princess Youyou ordered: "Find a suitable time and wake him up..."

There's no point in procrastinating any longer.

"Yes."

……

……

In the ear was the conversation between the princess and Qinglian. Qiao Xi stood in the corner of the study and turned into a statue in shock.

She understood every word they said.

It's just that she didn't quite understand why they were organized together...

The emperor fell into a coma because of the backlash of the Gu worm.

And Gu worms will backfire, isn't it the queen's trick?

the most important is…

Isn't Qinglian the one the queen placed for the princess?Why did you say these things to the princess? ? ?

Qiao Xi was confused.

She felt that something was wrong with her cognition.

"The empress has just secretly summoned the prime minister's wife into the palace..."

Explaining what happened just now, Qinglian talked to the princess with an ordinary expression.

"Don't worry about her." Without even raising his eyelids, Gu Luan didn't pay attention to the queen at all.

A villain who acts clumsily can only do some shady tricks.

Speaking of...

"Did Ying Er say last time that Seventeen has Gu on his body?" Putting down the pen, Her Royal Highness raised her hand and shook the written words, and asked casually, "Didn't you say how to get it out?"

Gu Luan felt uncomfortable when he thought that there was a worm in that person's body.

Especially under the premise of getting along day and night.

"According to Ying Er, as long as you get the mother Gu, it can be lifted."

"Really..." His lips were slightly pursed, and Gu Luan ordered directly: "Then let her get it done as soon as possible..."

"Yes…"

"By the way..." As if remembering something, Her Highness the Princess glanced at her, "Stay away from Ying Er outside... Be careful of getting the Gu on her body."

"Slaves can save it." Qing Lian smiled.

Everyone knows that Her Highness the Princess hates bugs, so Ying Er has been thrown out and not allowed to enter Beijing.

If it wasn't for this incident, the princess probably wouldn't be able to remember her at all.

……

The conversation between the master and the servant gradually came to an end, but Qiao Xi, who was standing in the room, began to feel depressed.

Hearing their conversation, she had a faint guess in her heart.

She thought, maybe Her Royal Highness doesn't need her help at all.

And she seemed to have never seen this person clearly from the beginning.

Feeling melancholy and awkward...

Thinking of her self-righteous reminder before, Qiao Xi felt a sense of embarrassment.

Whether it's the blood gu or the queen, this person clearly knows...

After a slight pause in her footsteps, Qiao Xi took a deep breath and planned to leave.

However, Xu Shi's mood fluctuated too much. She accidentally knocked down the ceramic vase placed behind her.

bump--!

The vase fell to the ground with a loud sound, and in an instant, the atmosphere in the room froze.

"Who?!"

The calm expression turned sharp in an instant, and with a stretch of jade hand, Gu Luan grabbed the writing brush on the table, summoned his inner strength and threw it directly.

The straight brush seemed to be blown by the wind, and before Qiao Xi could react from her daze, it brushed her cheek and poked it against the wall behind.

A third of the hard wall was pierced with a brush, with such force that cracks could be seen faintly.

Qiao Xi: "..."

What the hell!

Was it aimed at his head just now? ? ?

If it was any higher, she might be dead by now.

"Your Highness...no one." Qinglian said.

Except for the fallen debris, there was no one in the empty corner.

"Yes." Squeezing out these two words between his teeth, Gu Luan stared at the place with burning eyes.

A good vase cannot fall by itself.

Thinking of the way Qiao Xi appeared last time, she squinted her eyes, and suddenly said coldly, "Go and see...someone must be there."

There may really be unexplainable weird things in this world.

Even I have a chance to do it all over again, what else is impossible?

"..."

Her face was so hot and painful from being rubbed with a brush, Qiao Xi pulled the corners of her lips, and took the initiative to remove the 'invisibility' skill.

Even now I can't hide it.

It's better to go out generously.

A figure gradually appeared in the empty place, as if appearing out of thin air, Qiao Xi appeared in front of the two of them.

"!!!"

"Your Highness."

With a wry smile and walking a few steps forward, Qiao Xi knelt down.
