Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

"Your Highness, the abortion must have been caused by the Imperial Concubine. You must be prepared to resist and try to find evidence against the Imperial Concubine to bring her down in one fell swoop..."

"That's enough, Tinghe. Stop talking. I have my own judgment. The imperial concubine has given birth to two sons. The child in my belly will not affect her at all. She has no reason to harm me. There must be something wrong with the imperial kitchen, the imperial hospital, and you palace maids. Check it out for me. If you can't find out, I will make you beheaded."

……

Ting He sighed, shook his head in disappointment, and arranged for people to investigate, but naturally the result was not satisfactory.

"Your Majesty, look, the little prince is fair-skinned and intelligent. He is truly a blessing to the royal family. It was not easy for Your Majesty to conceive this child. You almost lost both your vital energy and blood."

"Haha, bring him here for me to see. Oh, my little prince looks exactly like your Majesty. He is so blessed. He will have a bright future and will definitely inherit the throne."

Ting He curled her lips when she heard this, seeming to want to say something but hesitant to do so. However, she was also happy for the Queen.

……

"Your Majesty, this is bad. His Majesty has ordered a raid on your mother's family, saying that he has obtained evidence of rebellion. From today on, the entire family will be executed. The decree to depose the queen is coming soon. Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Listen, stop talking nonsense. Your Majesty and I were young and in love. How could you depose the queen for no reason and kill my entire family? If you keep talking nonsense, I will cut off your head first."

……

"Your Highness, it was the Imperial Concubine who spread the rumors. The Liu family is an accomplice. They want to eliminate Your Highness and make You give up the position of Queen so that Imperial Concubine Rou can succeed..."

"Ah, Your Majesty, wuwuwu, Your Majesty, you are so cruel. What did I do wrong that you have to treat me like this? Imperial Concubine Rou is always humble and polite to me, and the child is also very respectful. How could this happen? I cannot accept this..."

Ting He accompanied the Queen in this cold harem. He listened to the Queen talking to herself, sighing in disappointment, and shaking her head, not knowing how to comfort her.

The Queen rescued her first, and then served her. She was always by her side during pregnancy, childbirth, and health care, and watched with her own eyes as Concubine Rou climbed up to the position of Queen step by step.

The queen's advice was slowly exhausted with each sentence: "Shut up, I have my own judgment, don't talk nonsense, I have my own opinion."

If the Queen had listened to her advice, been on guard against Concubine Rou in advance, and not eaten any food or jewelry she sent, would none of this have happened?

No one knew how the queen, who was so tolerant, kind and compassionate, could become the queen in the prince's mansion.

What if it was her? Without the obsession of being together for life, without the unique character, she was tempered by life, power and system into the bottom of the feudal society. What else could she expect?

If it were her, would she be able to guard against Concubine Rou and keep her position as queen?

Alas, everything has become a luxury. If there is an afterlife, Queen, I will definitely take the risk of being condemned by the world and protect you well, so that you will not be framed by others or swallowed up by the imperial power...

The moment she closed her eyes, she heard with her own ears the palace guards outside the cold palace saying that the Liu family had made meritorious contributions in reporting the case, Liu Nishang had made meritorious contributions in giving birth, the eldest prince had been named the crown prince, and Concubine Rou had been promoted to the new queen...

Liu Tinghe's body was ice-cold. Liu family, oh Liu family, she was once a member of the Liu family. What happened to a concubine's daughter? What happened to a palace maid? Was she abandoned?

If I had not been perfunctory in participating in the talent show because of my belief, but had been able to take out money to bribe the father-in-law who was in charge of the talent show, then I would have had a chance to succeed.

……

The moment she lost consciousness, everything was quiet. Tinghe seemed to be floating in the darkness, drifting with the current, without any awareness of her own.

A strange voice came:

"Capture the soul..."

"Ding ding ding, fusion has been completed. It has been detected that the host has had many adventures in his life, which meets the system's capture rules, and is specially granted rebirth..."

"Rebirth... Rebirth... What?"

A beam of light seemed to shine through the darkness, and the light was getting closer and brighter. When it was close to Ting He's eyes, she seemed to be blinded. She couldn't control herself, and she gasped for breath and opened her strong eyes.

It was pitch black with only a beam of light floating in front of her, and some words could be heard from time to time.

"Host, I have detected that your body is dead and your soul is about to be devoured. This system saved you. You should repay this system and do things for it."

Ting He: What are you doing? Doing things? What are you doing? I am still alive? What does it mean? What system? What is it for? What a mess, am I dreaming? …

The system looked at Ting He who was obviously still not fully awake, and spoke again:

"This system appoints you as the system's royal taskmaster. From now on, follow this system to the small world and help the maidservant who has the same fate as you to fulfill her wish."

"What? What mission? What master? What wish?"

Ting He, whose consciousness was still in chaos and hadn't reacted yet, blurted out a bunch of questions.

The system was not angry, but instead introduced it carefully and seriously again:

"People with the same fate as you have appeared in various small worlds. There will always be a loyal maidservant who died for her master beside the mistress. You follow me to the small world to fulfill the wishes of the maidservants and let them have no regrets. This system will score you according to the performance of the task and reward you with anything."

Ting He was confused, but when she heard there was a reward, she couldn't help but ask:

"A reward? Anything? Any reward?"

The system nodded coldly.

Ting He fell into deep thought. She neither agreed nor refused, but paused and thought about something.

Seeing that its reward did not attract the woman, the system was a little flustered. It tilted its head in humane thinking, not knowing what reward it should give to be reasonable and attract the woman to complete the task with it.

After thinking for a while, Ting He said:

“Can you give me a lot of money as a reward?”

The system looked very unhappy when hearing this.

"Yes, for every successful mission, this system will reward you with 100,000 taels of silver based on your score."

Ting He was delighted when she heard this, but she quickly retracted her joy and frowned and said:

"No, it's too little. I'm not a woman who can be bought with 100,000 taels of silver. It's useless to me."

The system was so angry that it laughed. If he was greedy for money, he would be greedy for money. He even spoke so righteously. It was simply abominable. If it had not been successfully bound, it would have turned around and left.

But for the sake of the mission, it had no choice but to say:

"I can fulfill one of your wishes. I will give you 100,000 taels of silver each time a mission is completed, and I will also give you a chance to draw a lottery. If you are still not satisfied, after the mission is completed, I can send you back to your original world."

"The original world?"

Hearing He's subconscious cry, she couldn't help but wonder, if she were to go back to the time before she entered the palace, what would she choose? Would she continue to be smoothed over by power and rules, enter the harem to protect the queen from being tortured, or succeed in the selection and become one of the many unpopular ones?
