    Reader note

    I originally thought it was a ruthless job of an assassin to kill the regent, but ended up laughing like crazy at the beginning. The heroine entered the palace with an assassination mission. From the first day, she saw the target giving up her seat to a cat, approving official documents, and even being urged to get married by her niece. She turned around and asked her if she minded having more nieces. She faked a smile while sending a letter to the organization: The target was suspected of being a terrorist and applied for a salary increase. When the Queen Mother gave her the poisoned wine at the banquet, he drank it in front of her and whispered: "Don't look so serious, you will be discovered." The hand holding the poison-quenching dagger didn't want to move on the spot. Two-way undercover extreme pulling, the more you watch, the more you get excited!
