Outside the palace, small bridges flow water.

Inside the palace, smoke from the incense burner lingers.

A rich figure sat lazily on the cushion, and the figure loomed.

Shen Jian stared.

Looking at the side quests that flashed through the scarlet panel, I had an idea in my heart.

His hidden quests do not conflict with the player's main quest.

It's all to help the Queen of the Eternal Night take control of the government, so that she can devote more of her mind to finding the real culprit who destroyed the Kingdom of the Eternal Night.

And the first natural danger that stands in the way is the queen mother who supervises the country.

According to the introduction of the background board, the Queen Mother initially let the ten-year-old Queen of the Eternal Night dress as a man and inherit the throne, undoubtedly out of the need to consolidate the status of the royal family.

Hanging the curtain to listen to politics is also to assist the Queen of the Eternal Night, who doesn't know anything.

Perhaps at first, the Queen Mother's idea was good.

But after gradually trying the benefits of power, she was reluctant to let go of power, and firmly held the power of the prison state in her own hands.

And as she grew older, the Queen of the Eternal Night also began to have her own ideas and was unwilling to become a puppet emperor, so the conflict broke out.

The player's idea is simple.

first promoted step by step from the eunuch, secretly collected the information and weaknesses of the queen mother, and then through contact with the queen of the eternal night, the other party pulled the queen mother step by step and regained power.

However.

Shen Jian felt that it was too slow.

Even this can be successful.

The time required was also measured in years, and he couldn't wait that long.

It's better to come directly to the empress dowager to find an opportunity.

Right now.

He had an idea.

If the Empress Dowager wants to listen to the government, she has to go to the council hall first.

If.

He made the Queen Mother unable to get off the phoenix couch, didn't that goal be achieved?

While letting the Queen Mother have a good pregnancy, she can also gradually let the Queen of the Eternal Night take back power, the best of both worlds.

Pondering.

The Fengyun figure behind the light gauze pulled her hips and opened the curtain, revealing a beautiful and picturesque face, and a light mature woman's style came to her face.

"You're the new little eunuch?"

"This palace looks at your mold, it's pretty good, but the masculinity is too strong, not like a eunuch."

The voice of the Empress Dowager of the Prison Country was elegant.

Lazy with a hint of coquettishness, the magnetic voice is extremely seductive and numb.

Especially the black and red phoenix robe, the phoenix crown is ringed, the face is beautiful, and the dignified reveals the unique charm of mature women.

Shen Jian's expression did not move.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

The style of this Empress Dowager Zhuang is better than that of the Queen of the Eternal Night.

It's not that Empress Dowager Zhuang is more beautiful than Queen Eternal Night, but in terms of temperament, the two are completely different.

is also dressed in a phoenix robe and worn on the Empress Dowager Zhuang, which is dignified with the charm unique to a light mature woman.

Worn on the body of the Queen of the Eternal Night, it is majestic like a son of heaven who has fought in all directions, if you cover your face, then everyone will think that this should be a man.

In terms of feminine charm, it is undoubtedly the Empress Dowager Zhuang who dominates the scene.

Shen Jian's eyes moved.

[Empress Dowager Zhuang Su of the Eternal Night Kingdom. 】

[Grade: Abyssal level.] 】

[Introduction: Since he was a child, he stepped into the palace gate, became the master of the harem, controlled the six courtyards of the harem, and then his son succeeded to the throne and was promoted to the queen mother. 】

[Current Status: Scrutiny, Interest, Molestation.] 】

[Opinion: 30 (friendly)]

Looking at the information displayed on the favorability panel, Shen Jian was thoughtful.

As everyone knows, his appearance has become stunned in the eyes of the other party.

See here.

Empress Dowager Zhuang was a little interested.

Since she was in charge of the country, there has been no new eunuch in Yongning Palace for a long time, and now there is a little eunuch with such a handsome appearance, her first reaction is regret.

It's a sought-after little man, but it's a pity that he's a eunuch.

Subsequently.

She came in one fell swoop.

Looking at Shen Jian's masculine face, the jade hand stretched out.

Lift your jaw.

Majestic: "Look up and let the palace take a look." ”

Shen Jian: ?

He froze.

He has never been the only one who took the initiative, when was the woman taking the initiative.

This Empress Dowager Zhuang treats him as the kind of little eunuch who doesn't understand anything?

Shen Jian raised his eyebrows.

Unceremoniously looked at him.

At such a close distance, he had a higher opinion of the Empress Dowager Zhuang.

What a superb, a top aunt, a charming young woman, is suitable for each other.

The kind of extravagance and richness cultivated in a high position for a long time and the charm revealed in the bones between the cheeks and clusters form an extreme contrast.

Just looking at it makes people's blood boil.

"Giggle...... Interesting. ”

Seeing that Shen Jian did not surrender to her majesty at all, the Empress Dowager Zhuang was stunned at first, and then her phoenix eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

Since listening to the government and taking over the heavy responsibility of supervising the country, her power has increased day by day.

Not to mention the palace maids and eunuchs, even the princes and nobles, they have to tremble three times when they see her, and become a kitten without minions.

Coupled with the aura of an abyss-level ghost, even the closest little maid on weekdays trembled in front of her.

Now, she couldn't make a little eunuch honestly afraid.

On the contrary, he looked fearless.

Even.

From Shen Jian's eyes, she seemed to see some impulse to correct her on the spot.

She was a little funny inside.

Want to correct her on the spot?

Even if she doesn't move, does this little man have this ability?

"You will serve me after that, it just so happens that there is a lack of a little eunuch by my side, you are very eye-catching."

Empress Dowager Zhuang waved her hand.

Officially let Shen Jian stay.

Side.

Shen Jian's eyes moved slightly.

Glancing around.

Somewhat regretfully withdrew his gaze.

During his observation just now, he found that there were six ghost kings distributed inside and outside the entire Yongning Palace.

Among them, there is also an Abyssal Class.

The security of such a lineup is obviously not a normal harem specification.

He guessed that this Empress Dowager Zhuang should be preventing some kind of accident.

For example: accidents that caused the death of royalty members one after another.

It seems that the queen mother also knows some hidden secrets.

Shen Jian thought thoughtfully.

Thank you.

And he stood by where he was.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't pay any attention to Shen Jian anymore.

Look at the information in your hand.

Looked at.

Shen Jian narrowed his eyes.

If you want to attack this Empress Dowager Zhuang, it is very difficult.

The other party has reached the pinnacle of power, and in the entire Eternal Night Country, it is also a supreme existence, and he has the strength of an abyss-level ghost king.

If she needs anything, she can do it anytime, anywhere.

If you want to attack such a difficult SSR ghost king, you must start with her weaknesses.

Just thinking about it.

The chat interface has changed.

Shen Jian retracted his gaze and glanced at the news.

[Ye Feng: In the future, if we collect any information, we will report it here, we need to integrate everyone's strength in order to bring down the Queen Mother. 】

[Ye Feng: I'll come first, according to the information I have inquired about, the current Queen of the Eternal Night maintains a male body, claiming to be the youngest son of the Queen Mother, who has lived in Yongning Palace since he was a child, and has no real power at all except for a name in the court. 】

[Drama: I found out the information, the situation is not optimistic, in addition to the queen mother covering the sky with one hand and exercising the power of supervising the country, the courtiers below are also born with two hearts, and the ministers and generals have their own ideas, even if the queen mother is solved, what is in front of us is still a mountain. 】

【Night Maple: ??? 】

I'm encouraging, you're pouring cold water on me?

You really owe a beating.

[Drama: Don't worry, I have an exclusive piece of information that will allow us to get close to the Queen of the Eternal Night as quickly as possible. 】

[Ye Feng: If you have a fart, release it quickly. 】

[Drama: Ruthless, I temporarily confused a eunuch in front of the palace, and learned from him that the Eternal Night Kingdom is currently facing a problem, that is, rumors from the Chenghuang Temple, saying that His Majesty is not rightly winning the country today, and the Eternal Night Country is afraid of being destroyed. 】

See this passage.

Shen Jian's eyes also showed a little surprise.

Chenghuang Temple!?

There is still a city emperor in this place?

Come to think of this.

Shen Jian shook his head.

Maybe in the era when the river god Niangniang lived, there really were still existing city emperors, but there was absolutely no here.

He kept looking.

[Ye Feng: City Emperor Temple? Is it the one I know? 】

[Drama: I'm not sure, but even if it is, it is different from the City Emperor Temple in the real world, and it is most likely a city emperor who is being manipulated. 】

[Ye Feng: So, you mean to solve this matter and use it as a springboard to successfully approach the Queen of the Eternal Night?] But this kind of thing cannot be done with our identity. 】

[Xizi: That's not necessarily, because if you want to enter this place, you must have a heavy yin goal, except for the eunuchs, who else has a heavier yin qi? 】

See this.

The audience fell silent.

If that's the case, it's a shortcut.

But going to a controlled city emperor is even more dangerous than being a fake eunuch in the palace.

After all.

The so-called words of the city emperor can be seen at a glance that someone is deliberately spreading false news to test the reaction of His Majesty and the royal family today, how can someone be allowed to sabotage it.

Investigating the Chenghuang Temple is no different from going directly to death.

It's still the kind of dead and dead, and there are no corpses.

Without the ability to escape in the hands of a ghost king-level ghost, who would dare to go?

They would rather slowly collect news in the palace and wait for the right time, anyway, there are still more than ten years before the destruction of the Eternal Night Kingdom, and they don't need to rush for a while.

However.

The other side.

Shen Jian was a little eager to try.

At present, he has not found a way to attack this Empress Dowager Zhuang, and he can't do anything in the harem, so it is better to improve his status first and start from the historical trajectory of other places.

I thought about it.

Shen Jian opened his mouth and said, "Queen Mother, I can go to the City Emperor Temple and solve this matter perfectly." ”

Hear this.

Empress Dowager Zhuang was stunned for a moment and put down the pen in her hand.

"You're going to the City Emperor Temple? You have to think clearly, although I am choosing the right eunuch, you are not one of them, and you don't need to worry about this happening to you. ”

"It is my responsibility to share the worries of the Queen Mother."

Shen Jian said casually.

"I have a heart, but what I say is like water spilled out, even if you are just showing loyalty, I will not be soft."

Empress Dowager Zhuang admired the handsome appearance of the little eunuch in front of her.

He handed over a waist card.

"With it, you can come and go freely in and out of the palace, and if you can settle the matter and come back alive, the reward will not be less, but if it is a waste who only shows loyalty, then you don't have to come back."

A scarlet panel emerges.

[Trigger a side quest.] 】

[Side Quest: Solve the disaster of the City Emperor Temple.] 】

[Content: The city emperor is a place to protect one side, and now he is bewitching the people, causing chaos in the world, and seriously endangering the rule of the Eternal Night Kingdom. 】

[Note: This quest is a branch quest of the Rebellion of the Eternal Night Kingdom, and completing this quest will unlock subsequent side quests.] 】

Looking at the panel.

Shen Jian raised his eyebrows.

The side quest for this dungeon is really easy to trigger.

He's only been unlocking two side quests just after he enters the dungeon.

But that's all it takes.

are all working hard to climb the queen mother's phoenix couch.

Come to think of this.

Shen Jian retreated.

Looked at.

Empress Dowager Zhuang glanced at Shen Jian.

She originally thought that Shen Jian would kneel on the ground and beg for mercy in fear, saying that she was joking or something.

But I didn't expect Shen Jian to be so tough.

really walked out with her waist card.

A man indeed.

But she still said that.

It's a pity that it's a eunuch.

……

Leave Yongning Palace.

Shen Jian soon came to the gate of the palace.

"Great God? You were also chosen? ”

Then.

Several players showed a hint of excitement when they saw Shen Jian.

Shen Jian looked at it.

There are five players standing at the entrance to the palace.

All of them turned pale.

Among them, the player who has a special supernatural item and can explore the background of the current dungeon is also among them.

The ID is [Xiao He], and the level is only level 8.

He is the lowest-ranked player in the game.

Looked at.

Shen Jian nodded.

It doesn't explain anything.

Soon.

Shen Jian walked out.

According to the direction.

All the way to the village where the Chenghuang Temple is located.

According to the intelligence.

This place is called "Xiping Village".

It is the place where the temple fair of the city emperor is held in the nearby ten miles and eight townships.

The reason why this place was chosen is because the city emperor here is very effective.

Every now and then, there will be manifestations.

Bestow blessings.

The remarks about the impropriety of His Majesty and the fear of calamity were also transmitted to the Imperial City and to the Imperial Palace through these residents.

"It's so contrary to the peace, where a group of ghosts live, they actually believe in the city emperor, aren't you afraid that there will really be a city emperor appearing and arresting them?"

One player muttered.

"Where did the real city emperor come from in the horror world, I was thinking, if the real world of the underground city emperor temple knew that there were people here pretending to be the city emperor, would they rush in and destroy the other party."

"Thinking too much, the thriller game dares to issue player qualifications to the emperor of the underworld? It's not a long life.,If you have the ability, you'll give the resurrected Yama in the underworld a player qualification.,I respect the thriller game is a real man.。 ”

In small talk.

And they went into the village.

The original relaxed look suddenly became serious.

His face was on guard.

In fact.

If it weren't for Shen Jian by their side, they would never have chosen to enter the village so quickly.

Whether this city emperor is true or not, but the other party is a ghost, this is beyond doubt.

And their group of players, the highest level is only level 27, and the lowest level is level 8, stepping into the village without any preparation is equivalent to running to commit suicide.

Walked a while.

A figure appeared.

It was an old man.

Carrying firewood on his back, he was rushing towards the village.

The players started to get nervous.

It's not good news to see people in a place like this.

It means they've run into ghosts.

Everyone looked at Shen Jian.

I would like to ask the other person what their plans are.

And then.

Everyone was stunned.

Because Shen Jian is gone.

Well?

What about Shen Jian?

Didn't they just walk together? Why is it that the kung fu is gone in the blink of an eye?

That's when it happened.

Shen Jian's voice sounded.

"Fellow Daoists, please stay."

The crowd looked for the voice.

I saw that Shen Jian didn't know when he had overtaken them for a long distance and caught up with the old man chopping wood.

A smile on his face.

I don't know, I thought I met an acquaintance.

The corners of the players' mouths twitched.

Is it a delusion?

How do you feel that the expression of the great god is more enthusiastic now than when I was with them.

The other side.

I heard someone shouting.

The old man who chopped wood turned back.

There was a gloomy and sympathetic expression on his face.

"From out of town? Outsiders are not welcome here, please come back. ”

"Old man, we are from other places into the city, and it is not early in the morning, so we have come here to borrow for one night and rest."

Shen Jian said casually.

Old Man Chopping Wood: ???

He was slightly stunned.

Glancing up at the sun that had just risen, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

Nima.

Even if you want to find a reason, find a better one.

When I'm blind?

He was speechless.

Then he refused: "Our people here are more old-fashioned, and outsiders are not very welcome to come and stay overnight. ”

"Really? Can we really go to your house for a night? Thank you so much...... Don't worry, old man, I'm a good person, and I won't hurt your waist at night. ”

Shen Jian patted the old man on the shoulder.

Warm thanks.

Old Man Chopping Wood: !

！

No.

You're deaf.

Where am I welcoming you to spend the night?

And what good person would emphasize that he is a good person?

What is lacking will be emphasized.

But this dog thing, the strength is really fucking big, and it's about to break Lao Tzu.

He's a little offended.

I was about to open my mouth to explain.

Shen Jian had already lifted him up first, and said enthusiastically: "Old man, where is your home?" ”

Old Man Chopping Wood: ......

You step on a horse.

I really don't treat myself as an outsider
