All the heavens are bound to the palace intrigue system

"I plan to sell coffee and light meals during the day and turn this shop into a quiet bar at night. So the interior design needs to balance the quiet atmosphere of a coffee shop with the comfortable and gentle feel of a quiet bar. The materials must be high-end, and the soundproofing must be top-notch. I need the feeling that you can't hear anything from outside the door, but as soon as you open the door, you're immediately greeted by music..."

"All lighting fixtures must be warm-toned; don't skimp on the cost. For the soft furnishings, big brands aren't necessary, but comfort is paramount. Also, fence off that open space outside and raise the ground level to create a fake terrace..."

Yu Li was explaining his requirements to the interior designer. Although the shop was just to give Qiu Di some work, it would be best if it could make money. He quoted interior design concepts from later generations, which left the designer completely bewildered, thinking he had encountered a fellow professional.

After talking for about half an hour, Yu Li and the designer exchanged phone numbers and agreed on a time to produce a design proposal and budget before Yu Li got up to say goodbye.

Seeing that it was still early, he decided to go to the hospital to visit his three younger brothers.

Just as I was about to make a phone call, I found four burly men in black suits surrounding me.

Yu Li calmly put away his phone, secretly wondering whose subordinate this was, that they had actually come to the decoration company to block him?

These four men don't look like gangsters; they look more like bodyguards.

"Sir, my wife requests your presence. Please come with us," a bodyguard said in a deep voice.

lady?

Yu Li turned his head and thought of someone, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips: "Okay, lead the way."

To his surprise, the four bodyguards did not take him outside, but instead took him to the general manager's office at the very back of the company.

He spotted the elegant and graceful woman sitting behind the huge desk at a glance—Madam Wang!

The woman bit her lip lightly, looking at him with a mixture of reproach and anger.

"What a coincidence!" Yu Li was delighted, never expecting that a random renovation company he picked up would turn out to be owned by this woman. "Is Madam the general manager here? Since we're acquaintances, could you perhaps offer a discount?"

"I'll beat your mother!" Madam Wang said, enunciating each word clearly.

"Wow, how can such awful words come from such a pretty mouth like yours?" Yu Li clicked her tongue and shook her head. "A girl like you should be more careful..."

"Shut up! Seize him!" Madam Wang shouted sternly, waving her hand sharply.

Four bodyguards immediately surrounded them.

Yu Li sighed, "Madam, you're too heartless! We were just completely honest with each other yesterday..."

"Shut up! Shut up! Get him! Tear his mouth apart!" Madam Wang was so angry that she went berserk and shouted angrily at Yu Li.

Just as the four bodyguards were about to make their move, Yu Li struck first!

boom!

With one punch, a bodyguard was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall!

He then easily dodged the second bodyguard's chokehold and rammed his head into the man's chest, causing the man to fall backward!

At this moment, the last two bodyguards grabbed Yu Li's arms, one on each side, trying to subdue him and pin him to the ground.

If it were yesterday, Yu Li might have had a real hard time getting away, but at this moment, no matter how hard they tried, Yu Li didn't budge!

The two bodyguards looked surprised. The next moment, Yu Li suddenly threw them both away!

"How about we have a proper talk?" Yu Li stopped making a move, tilted his head and looked at the dumbfounded Madam Wang. "We don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other. To put it bluntly, it's just a misunderstanding, and I've already apologized to you."

"Shut up!" Madam Wang shouted in embarrassment and anger, looking at the four bodyguards with suspicion and uncertainty. "You really can't beat him?"

The four men all looked somewhat disheveled. The one who had spoken to Yu Li earlier gave a wry smile: "This gentleman is very strong and a skilled fighter. I'm sorry, madam, unless guns are used, we are no match for him."

To draw a gun?

Damn, could they really have guns?

Yu Li immediately became alert.

Fortunately, Madam Wang had no intention of escalating the conflict. She gritted her teeth and waved her hand, saying, "You may all leave now!"

"Madam, this man is dangerous!" the bodyguard tried to dissuade her again.

"Get out!" Madam Wang glared. "Stand outside the door. No one is allowed to come in without my order!"

"yes!"

Four bodyguards filed out and closed the door.

"That's more like it. Isn't fighting and killing better?" Yu Li breathed a sigh of relief and sat down opposite the woman with a smile.

"Who are you?" Madam Wang glared at Yu Li with hatred.

"We're destined to meet," Yu Li said with a smile. "Sister-in-law, to be honest, I did go a bit too far yesterday..."

"Is that a little bit?" Madam Wang exclaimed excitedly, "You actually used your hand..."

"You seemed to be enjoying it..." Yu Li muttered. If the woman's reaction hadn't been so ambiguous, he wouldn't have been able to stay at it for so long.

"Shut up!" Madam Wang's pretty face flushed red as she glared at Yu Li through gritted teeth. "You scoundrel! You pervert!"

"Hey, to be honest, if you hadn't threatened me first, I wouldn't have treated you like that." Yu Li sighed. "Alright, alright! What can I do? I'm kind-hearted. Judging from your expression, you probably want me to do something for you. But you don't even know who I am. Do you really trust me?"

"I don't need to know who you are!" Madam Wang took a deep breath, regaining her composure. "Besides, what I'm asking you to do is very simple: pretend to be a delivery person and deliver one meal to one person."

Yu Li's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in surprise, "It's that simple?"

"It's that simple!" Madam Wang nodded. "After you've delivered it, I won't pursue what you did to me in the hospital."

After a pause, Madam Wang leaned forward slightly, staring at Yu Li and said, word by word, "Believe me, if I really pursue this matter, you will die a horrible death!"

"You're threatening me again." Yu Li looked at Madam Wang helplessly.

Just as Madam Wang was about to speak with a cold smile, Yu Li suddenly stood up, grabbed her neck, and forcefully covered her mouth with his hand, leaving her incredulous.

"Well……"

As Madam Wang spoke in alarm, Yu Li began to explore her mouth in an unreasonable manner.

She started hitting Yu Li's arms and chest hard, but gradually became weaker and weaker, until finally she hooked her arms around Yu Li's neck and responded awkwardly.

After a long while, Yu Li finally released her.

Looking at Madam Wang again, her face was flushed, her hair was disheveled, she was breathing slightly, and her eyes were glazed.

Yu Li smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force."

Madam Wang stared at him blankly, then suddenly asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Yu Li said, "I originally wanted to tell you, but I was afraid you would retaliate against me, so I decided against it."

"Are you going to help me with what I've said?" Madam Wang asked.

"I refuse, I won't help," Yu Li replied decisively.

"You bastard!" Madam Wang's eyes reddened. "After treating me like this, you won't even help with this little favor? It's just a piece of cake for you!"

"Is it really just a small favor?" Yu Li asked with a half-smile. "Sister-in-law, you're someone of status. I don't believe you can't find someone to do something as simple as having a meal delivered! But you specifically asked an outsider like me to do it. I'm afraid what you're delivering isn't just a simple meal, is it?"

"Even so, you just need to deliver the food and leave. The rest is none of your business. What do you have to worry about?" Madam Wang said.

Yu Li shook his head again: "I never get involved in such inexplicable things. Who knows if I might offend someone? Or what if you silence me afterwards?"

After a pause, Yu Li chuckled, "If you were to poison someone, there's a high chance you'd silence me afterwards. Am I right, sister-in-law?"

Madam Wang's pupils contracted slightly, but her expression remained unchanged: "What do you take me for? Murder is a crime! Your imagination is too vivid!"

"In short, I'm not doing this!" Yu Li said. "I'll pretend I never heard about it, and I can even pretend I never met you."

Yu Li straightened his clothes, smiled at her, and said, "We are destined to meet. If you ever need my help with anything that isn't so inexplicable, feel free to give me a call. Sister-in-law, until we meet again."

After saying that, Yu Li turned and walked out.

clack.

A soft sound made Yu Li's hair stand on end.

"Stop!" came Madam Wang's voice from behind.

Yu Li froze, slowly turned around, and saw that Madam Wang was pointing a gun at him.

Damn, how does this woman have a gun?

Yu Li cursed inwardly, but outwardly he put on a playful smile and raised his hands: "Hey, hey, hey, is it really necessary, sister-in-law? We have no grudge against each other, why point a gun at me?"

This woman is very strange. My intuition tells me that she is a troublesome woman and I should not get too involved with her.

Yu Li had already begun plotting how to seize the gun, then retreat and completely sever ties with this woman.

But just then, the system's voice rang out again!

"The path to the imperial harem has always been fraught with blood, tears, and intrigue. In the Imperial Hospital, you unexpectedly had an intimate encounter with the mysterious Prince Wang, who then used this to blackmail you. Having just been promoted to the rank of Consort, you initially wanted to quickly distance yourself from the power struggles of the Prince Wang, but you have become deeply attracted to his handsome appearance, and so you make a bold decision..."

No, no, no, I didn't, I didn't...

At this point, Yu Li realized something was wrong and resisted, but still had to continue watching with a sliver of hope—

"You've decided to ruin Young Master Wang's reputation!"

With his heart finally dead, Yu Li closed his eyes in anguish.

Why?

Why do I, a grown man, have to go through all this trouble over other people's innocence? Either I drug them or I ruin their reputations. Is there really nothing else I can do?

I really don't want to be involved in palace intrigue!

I really didn't want to hit Madam Wang with a stick...

and many more?

Madam Wang is a woman.

It seems unnecessary to ruin her reputation...

Yu Li opened his eyes again. This mission... it seems like he could accept it...

"Congratulations, host, for triggering the hidden quest: Bloodline of a Foreign Prince. Quest requirements: Spend time with the prince and successfully conceive a child. Quest success reward: 100 guards with 100% loyalty; Quest failure penalty: Your identity as a traitor will be completely exposed."

Yu Li's eyes lit up instantly!

This reward...

Doesn't that mean he'll have an absolutely loyal team from now on?

This is fucking awesome!

What does he lack most right now?

It's all about manpower!

Although Brother Zha assigned him two teams, Ah Kang and Squid, and also took in two henchmen, Tall Guy and Fatty Ball, the former two were definitely there to check and supervise him. Brother Zha couldn't possibly trust someone who had just joined the gang! As for Tall Guy and Fatty Ball, their loyalty couldn't be guaranteed either. Who knew if they would betray him?

But now, if he had these one hundred subordinates with 100% loyalty as a system reward, Yu Li's urgent problem would be solved!

Moreover, it laid the most solid foundation for his future development!

This reward is a must-have!

Isn't it just the pleasure of sex?

I'm a fish!

Yu Li stared at Madam Wang with gleaming eyes, making her scalp tingle. Finally, she couldn't help but blurt out, "Are you sick? I'm pointing a gun at you, what the hell are you excited about?!"

"Am I excited?" Yu Li quickly composed himself.

"You're so excited!" Madam Wang looked at Yu Li with a strange expression. "The way you looked at me just now... you looked like you wanted to eat me alive! You're not some kind of pervert, are you?"

"Sister-in-law, you're pointing a gun at me now. Even if I were a psychopath, could I really become one?" Yu Li said.

Madam Wang took a deep breath, her expression shifting between light and shadow, as if making a crucial decision. After a long pause, she bit her lip and pointed to a door beside her, saying, "Go to the lounge inside!"

Yu Li shrugged: "You have a gun, you call the shots!"

"Slow down, and don't even think about resisting!" Madam Wang said nervously. "As long as you cooperate, I promise I won't hurt you!"

"Okay." Yu Li raised his hand and walked into the lounge.

This is a very simple bedroom with a double bed inside.

"Take off, take off your clothes!" Madam Wang said nervously.

"Huh?" Yu Li wondered if he had misheard.

"Don't move!" Seeing Yu Li turn around, Madam Wang gripped her gun tightly, her face burning red, but her eyes flashed with madness. "I'm telling you to take off your clothes! Take them all off! Not a single piece left!"

"Hiss..." Yu Li suppressed the urge to seize the gun and retaliate, looking at the woman in surprise, "Sister-in-law, are you really going to have a child?"

Yesterday at the hospital, Yu Li guessed her situation from the conversation between this woman and the nurse. Her husband wasn't very active in bed and seemed to have been undergoing artificial insemination. Yu Li even jokingly suggested that people seeking a child could contact him for a hefty sum, but the woman's reaction at that moment was rather odd.

"Is that not allowed?" Madam Wang's face flushed even more, her exposed neck turning pink. Yu Li could see right through her bluster. "I'm just one step away from having a child with you! Is it so strange that I'm asking you for help?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm not a casual person." Yu Li was secretly delighted. He had just been thinking about how to complete the task of having sex with Yu Shui. He was not an animal, so he would never use force.

Unexpectedly, he didn't use it, but this woman did.

"Do you think I'm some kind of easy person?" Madam Wang's eyes reddened, and she became agitated. "I'd die if I didn't have a child!"

brush!

The next moment, Yu Li easily snatched the gun from her hand in a flash, and at the same time pulled Madam Wang into his arms.

Madam Wang was startled, but when she saw Yu Li casually place the gun on the table next to her, her body went limp.

She wrapped her arms around Yu Li's neck, looking at him with a complicated expression: "Are you coming or not?"

"Now?"

"Now!"

"Right here?"

"Right here!"

"Then...as you wish!"

"Well……"

The words that were about to be spoken were swallowed back, and soon, a heated argument broke out in the lounge.

Their clothes were stripped off one by one, and soon they were shirtless.

The argument escalated, and when the second brother intervened to mediate, it only made things worse. Grandma stepped in, but she showed no respect for elders whatsoever, and the two elders were humiliated and forced to retreat. The younger sister, enjoying the spectacle, said things like "harmony brings good fortune," but she was so excited she cried. In the end, it was the younger brother who gave in…
