Xia Qi and his sister watched with heavy hearts as the palace servants in the imperial kitchen shared the buns. After they finished eating the buns, they began to distribute the buns to the concubines in each palace.
Only when some palace servants started to walk out carrying food boxes did the two of them climb down from the wall.
"Let's follow them back. If the maid embarrasses you later, you will have an explanation." Xia Qi said, brushing the dust off his clothes.
Although he really wanted to stay in the imperial kitchen to see if there were any other clues to deduce how the three players were made into buns, his sister's task was obviously more important.
My sister nodded solemnly: "Let's talk about it when we get back."
The two of them first avoided the crowd and left the imperial kitchen. When they reached the crowded palace road, they slowly walked back.
Several palace servants carrying food boxes were walking in front of Xia Qi, but Xia Qi was not in the mood to talk to them. After all, he had just seen them eat the "buns" with his own eyes, which was really hard for him to accept.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, Xia Qi asked in a low voice: "What program are you going to prepare?"
Although there are still seven days to the Ghost Festival, he still felt bad about being forced to perform, and it left him with a thorn in his throat.
Instead of letting him perform in front of everyone, it would be better to let him challenge the old earl directly.
Hearing Xia Qi talking about the performance, the sister smiled: "Brother Xia, are you worried that I will ask you to dance?"
Xia Qi paused, then nodded helplessly.
"Haha, don't worry, we are just performing a stage play." The younger sister smiled, "I haven't thought about the script yet, I will tell you when I have thought about it?"
Stage play
Xia Qi was relieved when he heard about the stage play. Fortunately, his sister didn't plan to let him sing and dance to the end, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
However, the stage play sounds like it requires singing and dancing...
Sure enough, my sister laughed, and then continued: "I have to say hello to you first. If the plot reaches a climax, in order to increase the sense of substitution, I will appropriately add singing and dancing to the plot, but not too much. But don't worry, I will never let you do anything embarrassing. How is it?"
Xia Qi was silent for a while, and could only admit defeat, nodded and said, "Okay."
Just singing a little bit, dancing a little bit, shouldn't it be... not that hard to accept
As the two were chatting, they followed the palace maid who was delivering the food boxes to the vicinity of Shouju Palace. Looking at the direction a palace maid in front was walking, it seemed that she was delivering food to Shouju Palace.
The younger sister stepped forward and asked, and sure enough, this palace maid was the person who delivered meals to Shouju Palace.
"Let's hurry up and get in before her." Xia Qi raised his eyebrows and urged his sister to move forward.
The younger sister guessed Xia Qi's intention, picked up her pace and started running forward.
After the two arrived at the entrance of Shouju Palace panting, they quickly adjusted their state.
Suddenly, Xia Qi thought of something, and he whispered something to his sister. His sister looked at him in surprise and said, "It sounds exciting, but... will this really work?"
"This is the system rule. Since they can affect us, why can't we react to them? It just so happens that we have a chance this time. Do you want to give it a try?" Xia Qi straightened his expression, "See if you are willing to try. If you don't want to, we don't have to try."
"Why wouldn't I be unwilling? The worst that can happen is that if I fail, I will just shoot the maid." A cruel smile that was inconsistent with her age appeared on the corner of my sister's mouth.
At that time, in the Rose Count copy, because her shooting accuracy was too poor, the red team girl was injured and ran away. Until now, she still regrets that she did not shoot the red team girl to death.
Now the killing mode has been activated in the Fengdu copy. If the maid was not the confidant of the powerful Concubine Lin, she would have killed the maid's head and sent her to accompany Margaret.
"Come on, I'll go in and try." The younger sister stepped over the threshold first. When she entered the courtyard of Shouju Palace, she raised her head and wiped her face. Her expression changed, and she turned back into her pitiful little white flower appearance.
Looking at his sister's sudden change in temperament, Xia Qi couldn't help but frown.
Why does he feel... that his sister looks a lot like the Sea King who pretended to be a girl in the Azure Mermaid Pearl dungeon
No, it should be that the girl disguised as Aquaman looks like my sister...
Before Xia Qi could figure it out, his sister had already started sobbing. She walked towards the main hall while crying, sobbing, "Brother Xia, I didn't get lunch, what should I do, wuwuwu..."
She was originally delicate and weak, and she looked even more pitiful when she cried. By pretending to be pitiful, my sister successfully deceived Cha Gong and the red-faced woman.
The sister didn't cry for long before the maid came out from next door impatiently. Seeing the two of them standing at the door unharmed, the maid was immediately surprised.
However, when the maid saw her sister's tear-stained face, her eyes rolled and a new vicious plan came to her mind.
She showed a gloating expression and yelled at her sister: "You are such a useless slave. You can't even bring lunch back. What else does the Queen want you to do?!"
“Wow, wow, I didn’t mean it… I searched for a long time but couldn’t find the imperial kitchen.” The younger sister wiped away her tears, and big tears rolled down her eyes, making her look even more pitiful.
"Humph!" The maid couldn't stop smiling, her eyes sparkling, and she suddenly said, "Do you admit that you made a mistake? If you admit that you made a mistake, tell me what you made, and I will forgive you this time."
"Really?" The younger sister raised her head and looked at the maid with surprise.
"That's right." The maid looked at her anxiously, unable to conceal the greed in her eyes.
"Okay... I, I did something wrong..." The younger sister said for a while, and suddenly got stuck. She frowned tightly, tilted her head to look at the maid, and asked stutteringly, "What did I do wrong... Please give me some advice."
"Why are you so useless!" The maid was waiting for her sister to admit her guilt, but it turned out that her sister was so stupid that she didn't even know how to admit her mistake.
How could there be such a stupid new player
“Oh, what did I do wrong? Did I forget to take the food or can’t find the way…” Seeing that the maid’s head was about to smoke with anxiety, the younger sister pursed her lips and continued pitifully.
"You're stupid..." The maid was so angry that she almost cursed at her sister. She pointed at her sister and blurted out, "You didn't complete the task assigned by your superiors. This is your sin!"
Ding Dong! Evidence processing...
"She is not guilty!" Hearing the system start broadcasting, Xia Qi suddenly walked behind his sister and spoke loudly to the maid.
After Xia Qi finished yelling, the system's ding-dong sound actually stopped.
At the same time, the younger sister put away her crying expression and a smug look flashed in her eyes.
Both parties have testimonies. Please continue to submit evidence...
Hearing the system's message, Xia Qi showed a thoughtful expression.
So that's it, he understood.
"What? You don't admit your guilt?" The maid was furious. She pointed at Xia Qi with a trembling right hand and couldn't even speak clearly. "Are you guys going to rebel?"
Originally, the maid was waiting for her sister to confess her guilt before sending her to the Xinzheku, but she didn't expect that she would refuse to confess!
And there was that daring concubine Xia Qi beside his sister, who even dared to interrupt the system's broadcast... I'm afraid the palace will be in chaos because of them!
Xia Qi smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, let's talk about it one by one. At first, it was you who issued the task to her and asked her to go to the imperial kitchen to pick up the lunch for Shouju Palace, right?"
Seeing that Xia Qi was going to fight her for real, the maid sneered and said stubbornly, "Why should I answer you?"
She always likes to take the initiative and convict others first, so how could she answer Xia Qi's questions
Seeing that the maid didn't say a word and was determined to fight to the end, Xia Qi said, "Even if you don't answer, the system should be able to retrieve the playback. Okay, let's continue the confrontation."
When it comes to issuing tasks, Xia Qi is not worried even if the maid doesn't answer. This sinful game is a huge database that can save all their behaviors and props. Isn't it possible to find out what the maid said before
"What do you want to say?" The maid's face turned cold, but she couldn't help but feel panic in her heart.
The maid thought, didn't they find the way? Why did she always feel like they knew something...
"Later, we arrived at the imperial kitchen, but found that we were not needed to get lunch at all." Xia Qi curled the corners of his mouth, suddenly turned around and pointed to the entrance of Shouju Palace. At this moment, the palace maid who came from the imperial kitchen to deliver lunch arrived at Shouju Palace.
"Hey, Sister Ju, why did you come out in person?" The palace maid from the imperial kitchen who came to deliver the food box was particularly polite because she was rewarded with a bun.
The maid looked at Xia Qi, then at the palace maid, and was immediately furious: "You two actually teamed up to set a trap for me..."
Xia Qi ignored her and continued, "The Imperial Kitchen was supposed to deliver lunch to Shouju Palace, but you abused your power and issued a false task!"
"You, you are slandering me!" The maid was suddenly horrified and took several steps back. Because she was so confused, she accidentally stepped on the step behind her and fell to the ground.
Full-channel report: First-class palace maid Liu Ju abused her power once and was demoted to a ninth-class palace maid.
“No!!!” Upon hearing the system’s direct verdict, the maid leaned back, her whole body paralyzed with fear.
Seeing the maid drying fish, Xia Qi did not show any mercy, but continued, "You induced your subordinates to bear false charges and tried to make them take the blame. What crime do you think you should be charged with?"
"No, please don't say it, please don't say it..." The maid screamed "Ah" and suddenly jumped up from the ground. She fell directly to Xia Qi's feet, holding his calves tightly with both hands, crying bitterly, "Please forgive me, please forgive me."
Should he spare her
When he entered the dungeon and was canonized, the maid wanted to sentence him to be eliminated on the charge of offending the imperial concubine. Judging from the maid's skilled business operations, she must have killed quite a few players, right
Xia Qi had no sympathy for this maid who climbed to the top by stepping on the corpses of others.
Listening to the maid's miserable cry for mercy, Xia Qi did not bow his head, but gritted his teeth and continued: "You excluded others and treated me, a concubine, as a maid. The maid's clothes I am wearing were distributed by you. I would like to ask, are there still palace rules and ranks in this palace? Is this the rule you keep talking about?"
Full-channel broadcast: Ninth-rank palace maid Liu Ju abused her power twice and may be eliminated as punishment.
"Ah!" Upon hearing that she could be eliminated as punishment, the maid screamed and fainted out of fright.
At the moment she passed out, she heard Xia Qi say faintly: "You asked for this. If you don't hurt others, who can hurt you?"
After the maid was completely defeated, Xia Qi heard the system broadcast a separate report to him.
Dungeon Experience +99
Hey, defeating others can actually increase experience points
What's even more bizarre is that after his experience points increased, his allocatable points also increased.
While thinking about it, Xia Qi gently pulled his legs out.
As soon as he stood firm, he felt many more gazes from behind. He turned his head and saw a group of people standing at the entrance of Shouju Palace to watch the fun.
There were three concubines in the crowd. Except for Concubine Ou, the other two had shocked expressions on their faces and fear in their eyes, as if they had seen something terrible.
In the crowd, there were also many players playing the roles of palace maids, who were peeking around, and a few of them looked at him with admiration, as if they had seen the morning star.
A maidservant couldn't help but mutter, "Oh my god... I found out that this game can challenge high-ranking concubines. I thought the game system was unequal to the end."
"Haha, we were bullied by them for a long time in vain, and several of my good sisters died."
"That's right, we can't just sit there and wait for death any longer."
It seemed that Xia Qi's defeat of the senior palace maid was too shocking. The palace maids chattered and discussed it. Later, they became more and more excited. Someone suddenly raised her hand and shouted: "Xia Xiunu! We support you. You should lead us to overthrow this damn tyranny!"
As soon as that person finished speaking, Concubine Lin and Concubine Wu led a group of people and rushed out of the palace in a hurry.
Concubine Lin's face was gloomy, and she suddenly shouted: "How dare you!"
