Pei Yi gradually woke up, opened his eyes, and found that he was still tied up.
Just as he was about to struggle, he saw a woman standing up from behind the screen. From his angle, he could just see a slender figure.
But before he could react, a cloth was covered on his head, obscuring his eyes.
"Don't look at anything inappropriate, okay?" Liu Qiaoer's cold voice sounded.
She took a hot bath, applied scar-removing ointment on her body, put on her clothes and walked out from behind the screen.
He lifted the cloth on Pei Yi's head, took out the dagger, and slowly approached Pei Yi.
"You, what are you doing? If you dare to kill me, the emperor will confiscate your entire family."
Pei Yi suddenly remembered that the Liu family had been raided, and looked at Liu Qiaoer in horror.
Liu Qiaoer snorted contemptuously and cut his rope.
"I'll give you two choices. Cancel your engagement with my sister and become my bodyguard."
Pei Yi blinked his eyes: "I agree to cancel the engagement with your sister, but why do you want me to be your guard? You are not qualified..."
Liu Qiaoer waved her hand gently, and Long Batian appeared out of thin air. Just as she was about to take action, Pei Yi immediately surrendered.
"Yes, yes, let alone a guard, I'll be a slave too."
Liu Qiaoer frowned and said disdainfully: "Why are you so useless? At least fight back a few moves."
Pei Yi was obviously frightened by Long Batian. He was unwilling to fight even one move, let alone two. If he fought with Long Batian, he would only be beaten.
Liu Qiaoer nodded: "Okay, from tomorrow on, in the capital, we are husband and wife. When I finish my business in the capital, you will be free."
Pei Yi had no choice but to agree, so he asked curiously, "What are you doing in the capital? If possible, I'm willing to help."
As long as she finished her work and left the capital, he would be free.
Who would have thought that while Liu Qiaoer was slowly combing her hair like a waterfall, what she said was shocking.
"Kill Zhao Ziyu and become the empress."
Pei Yi was stunned for a long time before he suddenly opened his eyes wide. Isn't Zhao Ziyu the emperor's name? To be the empress? With her
Pei Yi really wanted to faint and pretend that he heard nothing.
"Do you want to change it? I think this task is difficult."
Can Liu Qiaoer change the task whenever she wants? She knows it's difficult, but the system gave her this task.
Du Zixu said that the more difficult the task, the faster the upgrade will be after completion. After completing this task, she might have the ability to travel through time and space.
There are still many people in the secret realm, and she wants to travel through time and bring them all out.
"No." Liu Qiaoer said coldly.
I've already made plans in my mind. I don't know if Lu Yunzheng's secret connections are still there, and I don't know how much money Lu Yunqing has saved over the years.
It was easy to enter the palace and kill Zhao Ziyu, but it was more difficult to ask her to support another man to inherit the throne rather than become the emperor herself.
Pei Yi said with a sad face: "Okay, I can choose not to help you, but can I just cancel the engagement and not be your bodyguard?"
Liu Qiaoer turned her head and gave him a charming smile: "No."
Pei Yi suddenly felt like he had no desire to live: "Our Pei family has been loyal and brave for generations. You're crazy to ask me to help you kill the emperor. I'm sorry to the ancestors of the Pei family for doing this."
Liu Qiaoer sneered: "If your grandfather were still alive, he would agree. By the way, is your grandmother still alive?"
Pei Yi's grandmother, Pei Yuanshan's wife, is still in Mobei. She doesn't want to return to the capital, so she lives in Mobei in her old age.
No one else knew why, only Liu Qiaoer knew that the capital was a nightmare to her, and it was in the land of exile that her and Pei Yuanshan's happiness began.
"You don't know them, so how do you know?" Pei Yi was very unconvinced.
Liu Qiaoer replied calmly: "You will know later."
"From now on, you sleep on a soft bed."
Liu Qiaoer took out a quilt from the cupboard and threw it to Pei Yi.
Pei Yi looked left and right, racking his brains to escape.
Seeing his sneaky look, Liu Qiaoer chuckled, "Don't even think about running away. Don't say you can't run away. If you are caught by me, I will break your legs."
Liu Qiaoer moved her neck again: "It's okay, I won't make you disabled, at most you will be in pain for three months, and it will get better slowly."
Pei Yi opened his eyes wide in fear: "Are you still the daughter of Minister Liu?"
Liu Qiaoer smiled charmingly: "Yes, by the way, my father and family will leave for exile in three days. You pack your things and we will go together so that we can take care of them on the way."
"Also, you'd better get enough rest tonight and tomorrow, because tomorrow night, I'm going to break into the palace."
Pei Yi's brain was shut down: "You broke into the palace, you are not really going to assassinate the emperor."
Liu Qiaoer shook her head: "If you don't want to kill him now, just poison him. Now is not the right time."
Pei Yi wouldn't dare to poison him even if he wanted to.
Pei Yi slept very peacefully that night. He couldn't escape anyway, so he might as well make the best of it.
Not only did he sleep well at night, but he also ate and drank as usual the next day.
After a night's rest, Liu Qiaoer woke up early the next morning and prepared to stretch her muscles, but she found that this body was much better than her previous two.
Her body was thin but strong, with muscles in her arms and legs, and she was able to gather energy, practice martial arts, and perform moves without even realizing it.
Liu Qiaoer was surprised, thinking that the original body might have a secret that she didn't know.
However, she had no time to find out, so she practiced for the whole morning, ate her meal, and took out a map of the palace.
After careful study for a long time, he worked out a route to enter the palace.
He slept soundly all afternoon. In the evening, Liu Qiaoer drove the carriage and took Pei Yi into the city.
The carriage stopped at the edge of the imperial city and waited until dark.
Pei Yi pleaded humbly: "This place is not far from my home. Why don't you come home with me to have some food, change into some light clothes, and then I'll bring you here?"
Liu Qiaoer glanced at him indifferently, closed the car door, and came out wearing black clothes.
"No, you're thinking I don't know what's going on in your mind. But, you only have a few people in your house, so if you're not afraid of me killing them, just take me with you."
Pei Yi shrank his neck and stopped talking immediately.
Liu Qiaoer took out a set of clothes and threw them to him: "Put them on and come with me to the palace tonight. I will kill people and you will guard the door."
Pei Yi was so scared that he almost threw his clothes away: "What? I'll go into the palace with you, but my mediocre kung fu is not enough."
Liu Qiao'er didn't even raise her eyelids: "Even if I can't fight, I can still attract people's attention. If we are discovered, I can push you out and I can escape."
Pei Yi's face was filled with black lines. It seemed that he was just like that. He quickly showed his long sword and said, "Actually, we can also advance and retreat together. My kung fu is not bad."
He was no match for Long Batian, but he could still deal with the guards in the palace.
Liu Qiaoer calculated the time. It was the third hour of the night and everything around her was quiet.
She quickly came to the edge of the imperial city, found a wall, and was about to throw the rope up when she turned around and glanced at Pei Yi.
"Take me up there."
Pei Yi is not good at kung fu, but he is good at light work.
The two of them moved flexibly in the palace and finally arrived at Zhao Ziyu's bedroom.
