"Try this, it's last year's mao peak, the taste is pretty good."

Thank you!

Qi Qi nodded, picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and smiled as she said:

"What a good tea!"

Could you tell me about your growth experiences over the years

Ripples smiled and said.

Since I can remember, I've been in the training camp. There was a group of kids my age there, all receiving training. I wasn't the most outstanding among them, but I wasn't eliminated either.

Later I learned that I couldn't die or leave the Dark Guard camp, because the moment I entered, I was branded with the mark of Princess Xiangyi.

I think it's because of my face. I look too much like my father, and Princess Xiangyi has an obsession with him. That's why she brought me back, wanting me to take his place.

Six years ago, a guard from Group B secretly told me that Xiang Yi was my enemy. She ordered the killing of my entire family and left me alone.

Just after he told me these things, all of the guards in Group B were wiped out while on a mission, and Princess Xiangyi also lost her face. After that, she put all her thoughts into restoring her face and no longer paid attention to me.

Later, when the emperor selected new guards for her, I deliberately injured myself to avoid being assigned to her side.

Looking back now, I think the Emperor must have known my true identity and believed I held more value than serving by Xiangyi's side. That's why I'm still alive today.

Qi Qi chuckled self-deprecatingly.

You should be grateful that they knew your background from the start. If you hadn't had your identity, perhaps my sister and I wouldn't be able to have tea together like this today.

Liàn Yī took a sip of tea and smiled, saying with understanding.

"I know, it's not good to always feel kept in the dark. It feels like I can never control my own destiny."

"That's why your grandmother set those conditions. Don't you think that with seven out of ten of the assets of the King of Longxi, she was only buying Xiangyi's life This also includes your freedom."

After this transaction, your true identity was exposed. You can no longer remain in the Shadow Guard camp, nor can you continue to serve His Majesty.

"For eighteen years, I have lived in the shadows. Leaving there, I don't know what else I can do"

Qi Qiyuan said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, sis will take you out to explore the world!"

Ripples smiled and said.

"Sister, is your heart meridian completely healed"

Qi Qi took a sip of tea and changed the subject.

"Yes, it's been completely repaired."

Ripple smiled and said.

Qiqi thought about it, then still took out the secret order and passed it to Lianyi, letting her have a look.

After reading the ripples, I sighed and could understand each other's feelings. After all, they were living within someone else's calculations.

Xiangyi's face was healed, and she was happy again! The 'Poisonous Medicine Saint' wasn't a good person. He specialized in using poison in medicine, and the wound I made on her face wasn't an ordinary sword.

"No wonder the imperial physician was helpless, and every so often, Xiangyi's face wounds would reopen, torturing her terribly. She became extremely irritable and killed many people around her, making her reputation even worse."

"The wounds I inflicted won't reopen the scars, they'll only prolong the healing time. It should take about a year and a half. It seems like her Emperor brother is responsible for this. The reputation of being cruel is probably also spread deliberately."

Ripples smiled and said.

"I see, I should have thought of it earlier. Your Majesty has been laying the groundwork for this all along."

"That's right! As a ruler of a nation, he needs to think three or even five steps ahead before taking any action. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to control the overall situation."

Ripples having been empress, understand the emperor's mind, these are all basic.

"However, that accompanying 'Poison Doctor Saint Hand', Huo Mian, you bring him to the Wang family first. My grandfather was poisoned and is depleting his life force. Perhaps he has a way to antidote it."

Ripple thought of Wang Kun's peculiar poison and immediately said.

"Was my grandfather poisoned"

Qi Qī frowned, he hadn't received this news.

"Well, I discovered it when I came back. My aunt and I worked together to temporarily alleviate the effects of the poison, but there is no cure, and this isn't a long-term solution. For the sake of the Wang family's stability, we deliberately kept the news under wraps."

"I understand, I'll figure out a way to arrange it properly."

Why don't you go see your grandfather

"I will visit you again when I bring Huo Mian with me!"

"Suit yourself!"

Let ripples be gentle.

At noon, Liyu let the other party use lunch and Qiqi then said goodbye and left.

The day before Princess Xiangyi arrived, the emperor in the imperial city received a message from Qi Qi. As he read the contents, his eyes widened, and he immediately summoned his communicator:

"Qingxin, I think I've found the tasker you were talking about."

Qin Xin, who was trimming her nails, heard this and immediately put down the file in her hand, opened the light screen, and began to locate.

"Are you sure the other party is also a tasker"

“The same name, she is Su Lianyi, the closing disciple of Sǔnǚgōng. Remember what you said before, Xiangyi's fate changed in Sǔnǚgōng, and Sǔnǚgōng hid itself thoroughly out of fear of offending the royal family, using the art of Qimen Dunjia. And the things you suspect are arranged with spirit stones, perhaps this is the skill that the unintended entrant brought.”

Before, I still suspected there was another tasker. You denied my guess, and now it seems my initial suspicion was accurate. Only, she replaced someone who shouldn't have survived, Qiqi's sister, the infant girl who should have been killed by Xiangyi.

The taskmaster slowly untangled the relationships, after all, he had received all of the original's memories, and the communicator had relayed the plot, but there was no mention of Qi Qijie in any of it.

Before, he didn't pay attention and only thought she was a disciple of the Su Nü Gong. Now that he confirmed she was Wang Yingying's daughter and the granddaughter of the Prince of Longxi, he was certain this person was the mission target.

"You're a smart one. I'm contacting her communicator now."

After Qinxian cut off contact, she immediately sent a message to Shiju. The other party replied instantly, and it was a video reply.

"Qinxing Jie, are you sure"

"My pawn discovered this while she was carrying out her mission. She replaced someone who should have died a long time ago, and she also answers to the name Ripples."

The stone mill finally broke into a smile, immediately thanked them, and then said:

"Qinxing, could I use your connection to get in touch with her first Once I've confirmed it's her, please bring her back."

"It's fine to contact her, but bringing her back might not be possible for now!"

"My assistant hasn't finished her task yet, I have to wait for her to complete it. I can only bring her back when I open the return channel, by then you can come and collect her."

"Understood, I'll contact her first to confirm if she is my assigned tasker and give her a brief explanation of the situation. I will make sure not to interfere with her completing the task."

"Okay, I'm now inviting you into the interface for this mission. You can only communicate; you have no other permissions."

Qinxin is still very principled, this is her job description.mb up to him in the future. Then, with a single divorce decree, he divorced her directly and from then on, he gave up the idea of getting married.Duan Zongqing couldn't bring his daughter to war, so h...
