System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system

The next morning, Xuzhou Jiao and Yinshan Du finished their meal early and took a carriage to the Imperial Observatory, intending to pick up Pu Tong and go to the General's Mansion together.

The gate of the Imperial Observatory was no longer deserted, and all the prisoners were released and reinstated. However, they seemed unwilling to pay attention to Yinshan Ferry, and did not kneel down to greet the emperor when they heard that he was coming.

Xu Zhoujiao looked at the empty entrance of the Imperial Observatory and gave Yinshan Ferry a look that said, "No one cares about you."

But Yinshan Du didn't seem to care and strode straight into the courtyard.

Everyone in the courtyard was busy with their own work in an orderly manner, and no one looked up at Yinshan Ferry.

Ling Tailang, who was passing by, was walking quickly with his head down, but when he passed Yinshan Ferry, he suddenly stopped.

Xu Zhoujiao looked at Lingtai Lang who stopped in front of her in astonishment, stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him: Can he see her? Probably not, right?

The Lingtai Lang only stayed for a moment and then continued walking.

I don’t know if it was Xu Zhoujiao’s illusion, but the man’s eyes seemed to be wet.

The two of them found Tonggong in the stable. Tonggong was still wearing his Taoist robe, feeding his donkey with a handful of fresh green grass.

"Oh, my goodness, where can I find Ganoderma lucidum for you? Can't you just eat a bite? I'll dig it up for you later, is that okay?"

Xu Zhoujiao always felt that this drawling tone was familiar.

Yin Shandu cleared his throat tactically behind him: "Hmm."

Tongfu heard the familiar voice behind him and turned around quickly: "Hey, Your Majesty, why are you here? Didn't we agree to meet at the palace gate? Why did you two come in person?"

"Jiaojiao was anxious to go home, so she dragged me to leave early. I also came to see how the Imperial Observatory is doing."

"They haven't come out to welcome the emperor yet?"

No one notified him when His Majesty came in. It is conceivable that given their personalities, they would definitely not go out to welcome the Holy Emperor.

"Alas," Tonggong sighed deeply and bowed to Yinshandu: "Your Majesty, please don't blame them. They are full of resentment."

When Your Majesty publicly disregarded the clan system and designated Hu Changqing as the queen, everyone in the Imperial Observatory submitted a petition, saying that this was against the clan system and was unreasonable.

But Yinshan Du remained unmoved, and even beat five imperial astronomers with sticks in court. He even said in public: He is the sky, and he can do whatever he wants.

What's more, two years ago, the Chief Supervisor and all his disciples were beheaded.

Now the truth is revealed to the world. It was because of his blindness that the evil woman ran rampant and almost caused the country to change hands. The people in the Imperial Observatory could not accept the tragedy of that year and would definitely not look favorably upon him.

Now, perhaps only ordinary people in the entire Imperial Observatory would treat him with imperial courtesy.

"It's all my fault. I didn't know people well enough to cause this disaster."

"Your Majesty has also been victimized by a traitor, and none of his words or actions are sincere."

Ordinary people couldn't bear to see him lower his head in shame. The system's words were only known to a few of them. Yinshandu was destined to bear this blame for the rest of his life, and it would even be recorded in history after his death.

Xu Zhoujiao patted his shoulder comfortingly: "It's okay, Brother Xiaodu, you've done more than just this one thing. There are so many people who misunderstand you, don't worry about it."

Yinshandu: That’s a great consolation. Next time, just stand there and watch without saying anything. That will be better than any consolation.

"Since Jiaojiao wants to go home early, then Taoist Priest, please pack up and leave."

"No, Your Majesty, the donkey has not been fed yet."

Yinshandu and Xuzhoujiao looked at the donkey behind Tongfeng and said in unison: "Then feed it quickly!"

Normally, he tried to coax and persuade the donkey, but it just wouldn't open its mouth. It even tilted its head to the other side in a grump manner.

"Plain, why doesn't your donkey eat grass? Aren't you hungry?"

"Master Pu, is it because your donkey doesn't like the fodder?"

Yinshan Du and Xuzhou Jiao couldn't bear it any longer. If they continued feeding them like this, it would be dark.

"Your Majesty, it's not that my fodder is bad, it's that this donkey only eats Ganoderma lucidum, and I have none left, so..."

He glanced at Yinshan Ferry a few times, and the abacus beads jumped directly onto Xuzhou Jiao's face.

"Hey, your donkey usually eats so well? He wants to eat Ganoderma lucidum?"

"You don't know, madam, that this is not an ordinary donkey. It is the great-great-great-great-grandson of the donkey of Zhang Guolao the Immortal."

Mysterious? I think your IQ is very uncertain.

Xu Zhoujiao looked at this ordinary donkey from head to toe and asked, "How come it can also fly like a puff of wind? And ride on clouds?"

"Well, that's not possible."

"Then it can turn into a paper donkey and hide it in your sleeve?"

"Well, I can't..."

"It's normal. Have you seen Zhang Guolao's donkey?"

Tonggong shook his head: "Never seen it!"

"Then do you know that the color of the great-great-grandson you mentioned doesn't match that of his great-great-grandfather?"

Pingfan’s eyes widened immediately, and his mouth opened so wide that he could eat the donkey directly.

The color doesn't match? He stared at the donkey closely. He had clearly led it out from the Guolao Temple himself. Could it be that the old man had deceived him?

Xuzhou Jiao pulled the tender grass from Pingfan's hand and put it directly next to the donkey's mouth: "Eat it. If you don't eat it, I will make you into donkey meat hotpot today. I have never eaten donkey meat hotpot with the flavor of Ganoderma lucidum."

The donkey, which had refused to open its mouth just now, took the tender grass from Xu Zhoujiao's hand in big mouthfuls, and shook its head while eating, as if it was eating some delicious delicacy.

Tong was so angry that he yelled, "You would rather die than eat grass, right? I worked so hard to find Ganoderma lucidum for you, and when I ran out of money I went up the mountain to dig it myself, and you actually lied to me!"

Faced with the ordinary accusation, the donkey was obviously unmoved and continued to ignore him with his head tilted.

"My queen, I will cook for you right now and make donkey meat hotpot!"

Xuzhou Jiao stopped the exasperated Tongguan and tried to make amends for the donkey: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. I was just testing it. If it doesn't understand me, it must be an ordinary donkey. But if it understands, it may be the great-great-grandson of Zhang Guolao's donkey."

If it was just a guess the last second, the donkey's behavior now further confirmed that it had indeed gained intelligence.

The donkey, who was chewing with big mouthfuls just now, spat out the tender grass in his mouth when he heard Xu Zhoujiao's words, and shouted angrily at her.

He turned around, stuck his butt out towards everyone, went back to the stable and lay down, refusing to get up no matter who called him.

Yinshandu couldn't help but chuckle: "Since this donkey is so smart, eating some Ganoderma lucidum is not a big deal."

The donkey seemed to like what Yinshan Du said. He turned his head and nodded continuously, and responded to him with "ah~ah~ah~".

Pu Tong smiled again, went into the stable, and called the donkey "baby" and "ancestor", but no matter how much he shouted, the donkey ignored him and even moved its butt towards him again.

Pugong was not angry at all, and kept calling it a god.

In the end, it was Xuzhou Jiao who finally dealt with the donkey: "Okay, stop being angry. I shouldn't have tried to test you like that just now. It was really because you were not interested!"

The donkey ah~ah~ah again.

This time everyone seemed to understand what it meant. It seemed to be saying: It's all thanks to its mother.

"I'm sorry, how about I take you to meet your Grandpa Xuanxuanxuan some other day?"

This time the donkey just made a sound, obviously asking: Really?

"Really? I played cards with the Eight Immortals. Oh, and I have this thing here."

Xuzhou Jiao took off her small brocade bag and took out a golden bell from it and hung it around its neck.

The donkey twitched his big nostrils and sniffed. What was that smell?

"This is the bell your grandfather wore. I'll give it to you."

The donkey stood up excitedly and kept circling around the three people, showing them his bell.

It really is grandpa’s bell, and it smells like grandpa’s.

The donkey's mother told it since childhood: Grandpa is a role model for all donkeys in the world, and it must also work hard to become famous in the whole donkey circle like Grandpa.

Now it is one step closer to its grandfather and has its own bell.

The three of them laughed out loud as they looked at the donkey bouncing happily.

Xu Zhoujiao looked at the donkey that kept yelling "ah~ah~ah~" at her and gently touched his head: "You can't be so picky about food. Normally, there won't be that much Ganoderma lucidum for you. You have to understand him. These grasses are very fresh. He cut them for you early in the morning. Look, his trouser legs are still wet."

The donkey lowered its head and walked towards the basket of fresh grass, then started eating it with big mouthfuls, wagging its tail.

Puchang squatted down, picked the most tender part for it and handed it to its mouth: "Eat it, I will take you to find Ganoderma lucidum when I am done."

Yinshan Du understood that he was being called upon, and winked at Xuzhou Jiao, who covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

"Since this donkey is so extraordinary, let's get some Ganoderma lucidum from the palace."

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Tong Pu Mei shouted: Thank God for his grace.

On the way to the General's Mansion, Tong couldn't help but ask Xu Zhoujiao: "Madam, is that bell really its grandfather Xuanxuanxuan's?"

"Yes, Zhang Guolao lost the game and took it directly from the donkey's neck."

The little donkey listened to their words and clapped its hooves happily along the way.
