Seems to understand something.
She took a few steps back and peeked through the crack in the door at Ningguang, who was already delirious. Then she looked at Ganyu, who was clutching her heart in anguish. After repeating this action several times, Hu Tao's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Could this be the legendary "promiscuous love"?
A love triangle between "Emperor", "Tianquan Star" and Yuehai Pavilion's Qilin Secretary!
Walnut's starry eyes sparkled.
She was as excited as if she had suddenly received a huge order that would take her a lifetime to complete, ensuring she would never have to worry about business again.
Is there any gossip more significant than this?
"You like Brother Jiu'an, don't you?!"
"like?"
Gan Yu raised her head in confusion, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with Hu Tao's excited gaze.
"Yes, if you didn't like Brother Jiu'an, why would you feel so uncomfortable when you saw Brother Jiu'an with Lord Tianquanxing?"
"is it?"
"Of course!"
Hu Tao patted her non-existent chest and said, "If you don't like them, then you should be like me. I just find them interesting!"
Looking at Hu Tao's confident assertion, Gan Yu was somewhat confused, but the only thing she understood was that her heart didn't ache as much when she talked to her.
Of course, it would be even better if Ningguang's 'voiceover' hadn't come through the crack in the door.
Listening to that annoying sound.
Gan Yu suddenly had a terrifying thought: to shoot Ning Guang dead with a single arrow.
It wasn't until Hu Tao pulled her into another room that Gan Yu was temporarily free from this terrifying thought.
"You like the Emperor? You like the Emperor, don't you?!"
Looking at Hu Tao's excited expression, Gan Yu felt something was strange. Why was this strange girl so excited?
After thinking about it carefully, she shook her head: "I don't know."
"Huh? You don't know?"
"What I like... is work?"
"Huh? Work?!"
Hu Tao stared wide-eyed in disbelief. What a terrifying woman!
How could anyone have such a terrible hobby?
If she can become an employee of the Rebirth Hall, then I'll pretend I never thought of the previous sentence.
Undeterred, she continued, "Fine, let's say you enjoy your job. Then let me ask you, do you still want to work when you're with him?"
"Or rather, which do you prefer, being with him or working with him?"
Recalling how she was overwhelmed with work last night and couldn't have dinner with him, Gan Yu said without hesitation, "With him."
"That means you like Brother Jiu'an!"
Hu Tao lined up her hands, her starry eyes lighting up with excitement.
She grabbed Gan Yu's wrist and said, "If you like it, you must work hard!"
"effort?"
"Yes."
"Although Brother Jiu'an is already with 'Tianquanxing,' they're not married yet."
"No matter what, in order to avoid leaving yourself with regrets for the rest of your life, you should do what you want to do!"

The border between Liyue and Mondstadt.
In a valley somewhere.
D'Artagnan opened her eyes and sat up abruptly, only to see a familiar blue-haired man sitting in a chair, fiddling with a small bottle.
"Doctor", Doutore.
D'Artagnan recognized the other person and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I wasn't very familiar with my colleagues from the Fools' Bureau of Executives, encountering them in this situation still made me feel at ease.
"Why am I here?"
“The people below found you in the valley, not far from here.”
Listen to what the "Doctor" said.
Memories of last night flooded my mind like a tidal wave.
He had originally released the Demon King's Armor in an attempt to quickly defeat Lin Jiu'an before the enemy's reinforcements arrived, so as to force him to reveal the whereabouts of the Heart of the Rock God. However, he discovered that Lin Jiu'an's strength exceeded his expectations.
Even with the Demon King Armor activated, he was still no match for him?
After Keqing and Yelan arrived, knowing that all was lost, he could only flee after his final attack. However, due to his severe injuries, he fainted during his escape.
"How are things going in Liyue?"
"He killed most of those merchants."
"How cruel."
D'Artagnan sighed and rubbed his hair, looking like he had a headache.
He truly didn't know how to force Lin Jiu'an to reveal the whereabouts of the Heart of the Rock God on his own.
But the problem is...
This is a very important task for Her Majesty the Queen, and she must accomplish it at all costs.
the most important is.
If we examine this closely, the problem lies with him.
Since Rosalind left, he has been carrying out these actions himself, which has led to the Fatui's situation in Liyue deteriorating rapidly, to the point that they have been forced into becoming wanted criminals. He must do something to make amends for his mistakes.
"Why are you here?"
"The one I'm working with."
"Cooperate with me?"
D'Artagnan looked at the "Doctor" strangely, a newfound wariness rising in his heart. None of his colleagues were normal, but the person in front of him was definitely one of the most dangerous among his abnormal colleagues.
"You know, the Queen gave me an order not to lay a hand on him."
"But I'm also very interested in his body."
"You want to get the whereabouts of the Heart of the Geo Archon from him to complete the task the Queen gave you; while I want to obtain his body to conduct experiments. We both have the same goal, don't we?"
D'Artagnan admitted frankly, "Your plan may fall through; I can't beat him for the time being."
"That's why I came to you."
“I have an armor, an armor far more powerful than the Demon King's armor you are currently using.”
"Once you put it on, you will be able to unleash several times your current strength and easily defeat him."
D'Artagnan looked at him calmly: "And what's the price?"
"That 'armor' is a half-finished product; it consumes an astonishing amount of energy, and you'll most likely die after using it."
Is it highly likely?
D'Artagnan chuckled.
As long as death is not inevitable, it is only a 'possibility' for him.
"Let me take a look at your 'armor' first."
Chapter Twenty-Three: Letter/Resurrection/Love (5K)
To my dearest little sister:
I forgot the beginning, I forgot the middle, and I forgot the end.
In short, my brother's life in Liyue is just about handling minor matters. However, Donya, please rest assured, the ending the Queen desires, the ending we Winterfell people desire, will eventually come.
By the dim, yellowish light of the oil lamp.
After checking the letter he had written to his younger sister, D'Artagnan looked up at the Mondstadt-style buildings outside the window and stretched.
He then sealed the letters home and began writing his last letter.
"A Tribute to the Queen of Love:"
...The events that occurred in Liyue are as described above.
After that, "Doctor" found me and gave me a new suit of armor that wasn't recorded in the files. It was an armor that was many times more powerful than "Demon King Armor" and told me about his plan.
"Doctor" did not obey your orders; he still covets Lin Jiu'an.
I know this is wrong, but the Heart of the Geo Archon must be in Lin Jiu'an's hands, and this is the only way I can think of to obtain it...
Now, I have gathered the merchants who managed to escape from Liyue and brought them to Mondstadt.
In order to lure him over, I followed the "Doctor's" plan and collaborated with Liyue merchants who were doing business in Mondstadt and had just escaped his massacre, the Lawrence family, those in Mondstadt who were still resentful and whom he had not yet eliminated, and the Abyss Order to create turmoil in Mondstadt.
Then we will...
Your Majesty, I am sorry that I did not have the chance to explain these things to you in person after obtaining the Heart of the Geo Archon. I do not know if I will ever have the opportunity to explain them to you in person, so I can only write them down in this letter. I hope you can forgive my rudeness.
To make up for my mistake! For you! For winter!
I will do everything in my power to obtain the Heart of the Geo Archon, even if I don't live to see that day.
Here, I once again ask for your forgiveness for my rudeness and mistakes.
—The eleventh seat of the Fools' Order's Executive Officers, "The Prince," Tartaglia.

Qunyu Pavilion.
Lin Jiu'an leisurely sipped his black tea, watching the ships come and go in the harbor below.
Some time has passed since that 'massacre'.
Although the simultaneous death of nearly 90% of the merchants brought Liyue Port and industries such as commerce to a standstill, Ningguang's superb skills, and most importantly, the fact that there is no shortage of people who want to climb the ladder no matter where they are, helped them recover.
If you kill all the farmers and workers, it will be difficult to find replacements to fill the gap.
But businessmen and politicians.
They can always find a batch of people willing to fill the gap.
all in all.
Although Liyue is not as prosperous as it was when he arrived, it has clearly successfully weathered the painful period of many businessmen and politicians' deaths.
And without the obstruction of the merchants.
In addition, the bloody massacre that night shocked all levels of society in Liyue.
His reforms were no longer obstructed.
In terms of overall management, there is Ningguang; in terms of legislation, there is Yanfei; and there is also a coconut sheep that has worked for more than three thousand years with almost no mistakes.
While Liyue may not be 'overwhelmingly positive,' it is certainly 'thriving.'
As for Keqing...
Lin Jiu'an paused in his action of holding the teacup to drink tea.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten a very serious issue.
"..."
Was Keqing also executed along with her entire family?
That night, I killed so many people that my hands were numb, and my mind was so hazy that I completely forgot about Keqing. In the time that followed, I was completely immersed in Ningguang's beauty and tenderness. As for who Keqing is...?
