The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Return to Shouning Palace.

Xie Yuzhen used the excuse that he was a little tired and needed to rest, and asked all the palace servants to leave.

Before leaving, Xia Zhi asked worriedly whether to ask the imperial physician to come over and take her pulse. Xie Yuzhen was about to refuse, but before she could say anything, she had another idea, so she changed her words and said, "Please ask the imperial physician to come in the evening, and send someone to tell His Majesty that I came back from a visit to the cold palace and seemed to be frightened."

Xia Zhi couldn't help but look up at his master's ruddy face. Without saying anything else, he responded softly, "Yes." Then he led the palace servants to retreat.

【exist? 】

Xie Yuzhen dragged a large and soft pillow over and placed it on the bed, then lay down happily.

The dream-making system was thinking about how to behave so that the villain would take it in. When it heard Xie Yuzhen's active inquiry, it responded very actively: [Ding - Dear host, hello, the dream-making system is at your service! ]

It turns out that he is someone who takes advantage of people’s dreams.

Xie Yuzhen narrowed his eyes: [Qian Shi used you to make me have strange dreams for three consecutive days? ]

The dream-making system became nervous. It glanced at its "tragic" colleague beside it, and its tone became obedient: [Ding - Reporting to the host, yes.]

[But the system has advised her not to do this, but she didn't listen. It is not the system's intention to destroy your sleep quality! ]

This weird thing, why does it seem a bit... lackey?

After thinking about it, Xie Yuzhen decided to ask it: [Why don't you want her anymore, and come to me instead? ]

Xie Yuzhen still remembered that the system that gave him the save function finally said it wanted to disengage, but for some reason, it seemed to have failed to disengage.

[Ding——The system originally just wanted to uninstall itself, and never thought it would have the honor of being bound to you. 】

The dream-making system would rather live than die, and there is so much energy in the hands of Queen Dowager Renxuan, how can it bear to let go!

【oh? 】

The dream-making system decided to be honest and leave a good impression on Xie Yuzhen: [Ding——When the system entered this world, it was attacked and had very little energy left. It was originally going to replenish its energy by issuing tasks to Qian Shi to gain recognition and favor from others, but... not only was she unwilling to do the tasks, she also treated the system as her slave, asking the system to do the tasks itself and squeezing the system's energy! ]

[Later, when she attacked you, the system tried to persuade and stop her, but unfortunately it failed. The reason why she suddenly called you at the door just now was because she asked the system to use its last energy on you and make you have nightmares for three consecutive days, but if that happens, the system will dissipate.]

[After judging, the system thought that instead of exhausting the last of its energy for her, it would be better to unload itself in advance. To put it in human terms, it would be to end it by itself.]

Xie Yuzhen: [......]

Ah this.

I am becoming more and more curious about what Qian’s brain looks like. What should I do?

She did not interrupt the system, and the dream-making system continued to narrate in its somewhat strange voice: [Then the system was hit by an unknown existence again, and the program was temporarily stuck. After recovery, it was bound to you.]

If it was just a simple binding, it shouldn't be so obedient.

Xie Yuzhen compared the attitude of this useless system that could only send dreams with the attitude of the first system he encountered, and found something unusual, so he deliberately asked: [Now you don’t lack energy? ]

The dream-making system replied happily: [Ding——No more missing! ]

[Host, when I have enough energy, I can weave an absolutely real dream for you. I will definitely not be like Qian, who can only transmit some short-lived images! ]

It showed its anxious attitude clearly, and Xie Wei really found it a little funny.

That palace fighting counterattack system looked down on me, the big villain and the demon queen, but this one, for the sake of energy, flattered me eagerly, as if it was afraid that I would not want it anymore... But I also happened to need its help to understand in detail how this "system" worked.

After a brief thought, Xie Yuzhen said: [This is an absolutely real dream. Was it originally intended to be used against me? ]

The dream-making system got stuck when she said that: [Beep—beep—]

[Did I get it right?] Xie Yuzhen turned over, [You came here to deal with me from the beginning, and now you suddenly turn against me... How can I trust you? You should just uninstall it yourself.]

The dream-making system got anxious when it heard this. It didn't dare to uninstall it on its own. It was reluctant to waste energy, but what if it ended up like this poor colleague after uninstalling it? It never expected that a good system could be torn into pieces? !

[Ding——The system did not deceive the host. The system will not deceive the host. After entering this world, the system has completely lost contact with the Lord God and cannot leave here. As long as you leave the host, or if you have an accident, the system will disappear! ] The dream-making system said anxiously, and it even checked the data stored in the program.

While confessing itself, it found a sentence from the data that it felt best demonstrated its loyalty: [The system only wants to be your dog now, please give the system a chance to be your dog! ]

"Puff!" Xie Wei really couldn't help it.

But before she could say anything to the system, she heard the sound of the door opening outside.

Xia Zhi's voice also came in: "Your Majesty, my lady is resting inside."

"Well, I'll go in and take a look. You continue to guard."

"Yes."

Xie Yuzhen glanced at the sky. It was not yet afternoon, which meant that the emperor had come here on his own initiative.

[We'll talk about your matter later.] Xie Yuzhen said to the system. After that, she climbed up from the bed, leaned against the headboard delicately, and looked at the emperor with seductive eyes: "Your Majesty finally remembered to come to me."

She smiled and moved to the side of the bed, and with her bright red nail polish-painted hands gently patted the empty space beside her, motioning for the emperor to come up and lie down.

The emperor laughed and scolded her: "How did I make you unhappy and resentful?"

As he spoke, he lay down naturally. Xie Yuzhen hugged one of his arms, raised her face and leaned forward, and deliberately whispered into the emperor's ear: "I am not resentful at all, I just miss you, and besides, I did a great good deed today, and I am worried about how to tell Your Majesty."

"Oh, since when did Xie Qing start doing good deeds?" the emperor teased her.

Xie Yuzhen clenched her fist and gently punched the emperor's shoulder twice: "It's a great thing to save a life. If you don't believe it, I'll put the medicine back into Qian's mouth."

"Hmm?" When the emperor heard her mention Qian, his expression straightened slightly, "Qian committed suicide?"

Xie Yuzhen did not rush to answer, but called Xia Zhi in and asked her to take out the small porcelain bottle and show it to the emperor. Most of the poison in the porcelain bottle had been spilled out, leaving only a shallow layer.

But the emperor's expression changed as soon as he saw the small bottle.

Seeing this, Xie Yuzhen knew it was time to add fuel to the fire: "This was brought to her by Qian's biological mother. Your Majesty, you didn't even want Qian's life, but her parents were willing to..."

Although this noble family is in poverty, they are very courageous.

The emperor knew that Xie Wei had said this on purpose, but this woman was just like that by nature, so he couldn't blame her. Instead, it was the Qian family... who still thought this was the previous dynasty and that they could call the shots?

Or maybe, as the emperor, I haven't killed many people in recent years, so that makes them bolder again?
