Lost in the depths of a lingering kiss, I was suddenly jolted by the sound of hurried footsteps outside.
“Lord Commander!” someone shouted from outside, “It’s bad! The Emperor has fainted again!”
Xiao Yuan's expression darkened as he reluctantly pulled away from me. “Wait for me to come back.”
Watching him leave, I realized my heart was racing uncontrollably. But clearly, this was not the time for romantic thoughts.
“Ding!” The system suddenly became serious. “Final mission released: Assist the Sixth Princess in supporting the Fourth Prince to ascend the throne. Complete the mission to return to the modern world. Reward: 3000 points!”
My heart tightened: Was this asking me to choose between my mission and my feelings?
Just as I hesitated, a maidservant of the Sixth Princess rushed in. “Miss Li! The Princess is looking for you!”
Upon arriving at the Sixth Princess's chamber, I found her pacing anxiously.
“My father is unconscious,” she whispered, “The imperial physician says… he might not survive the night.”
A wave of dread washed over me. In the workplace, moments of power transition are the most perilous. Sure enough, news had already spread outside about the Crown Prince mobilizing troops.
“Princess,” I suddenly recalled something, “Do you remember last time when you mentioned that there’s an important item hidden in the Crown Prince's Residence?”
The Sixth Princess's eyes lit up. “You mean…”
“Now is the perfect time,” I lowered my voice, “Everyone at the Crown Prince's Residence must be busy arranging their military forces; it’s an ideal opportunity for a search!”
In situations like this, taking initiative is crucial. In the workplace, whoever holds key evidence can seize control.
The Sixth Princess immediately dispatched someone to investigate. Sure enough, they found a Yellow Robe in a secret chamber of the Crown Prince's Residence! This was solid evidence of treason!
“Hurry,” I instructed the guards who went to search, “Spread this news and say it was overheard from a drunken servant at the Crown Prince's Residence.”
“Brilliant!” The Sixth Princess looked at me with admiration. “That way, we won’t expose our search.”
Just then, Xiao Yuan arrived as well. “The Crown Prince has already begun mobilizing troops, claiming it’s to ‘clean up his side.’”
I scoffed. “Ha, this workplace jargon is so cliché.”
Xiao Yuan glanced at me with a mix of helplessness and affection. “Are you using your strange phrases again?”
Feeling guilty, I turned my gaze away. “It’s just… all tactics are interconnected.”
“Alright,” the Sixth Princess interrupted our playful banter, “We need to find a way to relay this information to the court officials.”
My eyes brightened. “What if… we send an anonymous letter? Oh no, I mean an anonymous memorial?”
Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by everyone... never mind," he said, affectionately brushing my nose. "We'll do it your way."
"Ding! Emotional warming alert!" the system chirped cheerfully. "But don't forget your ultimate mission, host!"
A tightness gripped my heart. Yes, once the mission was complete, I would have to return to the modern world. Looking at Xiao Yuan's serious profile as he meticulously laid out his plans, I suddenly felt an indescribable sadness wash over me.
But clearly, this wasn't the time for sentimental feelings. I forced myself to focus. "First, we need to release the news. Once public opinion has fermented enough, then..."
"Then let the Fourth Prince use the pretext of the Crown Prince's rebellion to request an imperial decree for his arrest," the Sixth Princess interjected, a glint of sharpness in her eyes. "Let the Crown Prince lock himself up!"
I nodded quietly. This tactic of using their own methods against them was deadly in the workplace. No one could emerge unscathed from the dual blows of public opinion and solid evidence!
Yet, as I gazed at Xiao Yuan's resolute profile, my heart grew increasingly uneasy. After completing the mission, would I really just leave like this?
