"I'm sorry, host, you need expensive points to exchange for everything you want. You have been slack in tasks recently, and the points are almost spent, so you can't exchange them."
Helianzheng is becoming more and more interested in the system, what kind of magical thing is this? There is also the medicine that made him stunned. Should he be glad that Concubine Xi has no points, otherwise he will definitely follow Concubine Xi's way.
The ministers who were present ordered the wives, concubines and palace servants all knelt on the ground and dared not raise their heads, and their legs were trembling. Hearing Concubine Xi shouting and being taken away by Helian Zheng, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, stood up trembling with cold sweat, looked at each other, and decided to keep what they saw and heard today in their hearts.
There was one other person present who was really surprised. When He Qing stood up, there was still shock in his eyes. Could it be... Is this the surprise that Lin Guiren said? If this was a surprise, then Lin Guiren knew that Bai Xi was abnormal. With Concubine Xi's nervousness tonight, she obviously didn't know what was going on. So can he be sure that it is Lin Guiren's fault? If it is Lin Guiren who is making trouble, then this Lin Guiren is probably not easy.
"He guard, how is it?"
An incomparably flat voice sounded behind him, but made He Qing sweat all over his body, and he quickly calmed down, "I will listen to Lin Guiren from now on." His son will not be killed, and he can even inherit Helianzheng's throne. He doesn't care, this is the only chance.
"it is good."
He Qing turned his head and wanted to say something to the other party, but found that there was no one in front of him, and the coolness rose again. He couldn't help but think of the legend of the deep palace, saying that since this nobleman Lin entered the cold palace, he has been abnormal, and he is often haunted, which is especially scary. Now he is a little suspicious, whether Lin Guiren died long ago, her soul is staying in the cold palace, just for revenge, thinking about it is a chill.
"My lady, are you back?" He Lianfu saw the moment when A Xin pushed the door and came in, his face was relieved, and his beautiful eyes opened, he asked, "What happened at the banquet?" What he wanted to ask was actually , what kind of gift did the noble lady give to Helianzheng
Ning Zhiqing also came up and grabbed A Xin's hand with a curious look on her face.
"Helianzheng and Bai Xi have a falling out." A Xin said calmly, she looked out the window, "The moonlight is good tonight, it's a good time to read. If you two are not sleepy, get up and read the memorial."
Ning Zhiqing and He Lianfu looked at each other, is it too late to say sleepy now? Seeing that A Xin had put the discarded memorial on the table, the two of them dropped their shoulders at the same time, and their eyes were a little tired, obviously it was too late.
"Soon you will have a real confrontation with those old foxes in the court. If you don't want to be beaten by them, you should think about the memorials here. These memorials are all carefully selected by me, almost including the ones I met in the court. any problem."
Ning Zhiqing couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Lin Guiren has read poetry and books, and is talented, why don't you control this power by yourself?"
This was not only Ning Zhiqing's doubt, but also He Lianfu's confusion. They all believed that it would be easier to control the power with A Xin's ability than to push them up.
A Xin's eyes fell on Ning Zhiqing's face, looking at her for a long time made her feel a little uncomfortable, "Lin Guiren, what have you been looking at me for?"
"Want to know?"
A Xin asked with a smile on her face, that smile was as soft as a spring breeze. All the time Ning Zhiqing had seen Lin Guiren with a pale face, she suddenly saw such a beautiful smile, she couldn't help but look a little crazy. When I came back to my senses, I was thinking, as expected of a talented girl who is famous all over the capital, and her smile was different from other vulgar fans. She was a woman who was about to fall into this smile.
"Of course, I want to know." Ning Zhiqing quickly looked away, it was really strange, how could she look at Guiren Lin, this little heart kept beating.
A Xin stretched out her slender fingers, landed on a memorial, picked up the memorial and placed it in front of Ning Zhiqing, looking directly into her eyes, "When you are firmly seated as the queen mother, you can deal with those ministers alone. I'll tell you when."
"what!"
Ning Zhiqing stared at the memorial in front of her, and opened it silently, wanting to say that she was not curious at all, so can she not read the memorial? Thinking of A Xin's sentence "Want to know?" I felt like a cat scratching again, and I wanted to know the answer, so I finally accepted my fate and approved the memorial. The queen mother is the queen mother. She will see what kind of answer Lin Guiren will give her when she sits firmly in the position of the queen mother and competes with those old guys in the court.
If the answer does not satisfy her, she will quit the court and will not approve the memorial.
Under the moonlight, one big and one small were earnestly critiquing memorials. Occasionally, they would raise their heads to communicate, and occasionally glance at the woman sitting by the window. She was still wearing a washed and whitish palace attire, her body was slender and a little thin, but her face was not as ugly as the previous days. If her bloody face didn't have the scar on her forehead, it could be called beautiful and elegant. Ning Zhiqing looked at the scar and frowned. It was said that Lin Guiren begged Helianzheng to kowtow.
"Go to sleep when you're tired."
A Xin turned back, and Ning Zhiqing hurriedly set her eyes on the memorial, indicating that she was looking at the memorial seriously, and she only lost her mind for a while.
A Xin walked in front of Ning Zhiqing and glanced at He Lianfu, who was about to fall asleep, "Go and rest." She patted He Lianfu's head, and He Lianfu quickly stood up and bowed to the two of them. , go out quietly.
The Sishui Palace was very quiet, but Helianzheng's dungeon was a little lively.
"what-"
Bai Xi's screams sounded throughout the dungeon, and her gorgeous palace costume was already stained with bright red blood. She knew from the beginning that Helianzheng was a selfish and cruel person, even if the other party favored her alone, she never thought of handing over her sincerity. She will not forget the sentence Helianzheng said coldly in the previous life, "Pull it down and beat him to death."
He even ordered someone to beat her stomach first. She was five months pregnant at that time. How did she die, watching her stomach break and hurt to death.
After she came back, she used the favored concubine system and calculated everyone, including Helian Zheng, the concubines in the court, and she would not let any of them go. She always thought that the favored concubine system was her reliance, but she did not expect to bring disaster to her.
"Stop fighting, I said, tell Helianzheng, I'll say anything." Bai Xi didn't want to die, she didn't know if she died this time, if she had a chance to come back, only alive would she have the chance to take revenge.
Not long after, Helian Zheng came.
"Is Xi'er willing to say it?"
Facing the gentle Helianzheng, Bai Xi's body trembled with fright. Helianzheng was more terrifying than she imagined. He stroked Bai Xi's pale face full of cold sweat, "Xi'er honestly explained that she is still my favorite concubine Xi."
Bai Xi was terrified in her heart, no, she didn't want to be his favorite concubine Xi at all.
"My favorite is Xi'er, you can rest assured to explain the origin of that thing, I will not kill you." Helianzheng held Bai Xi's face and kissed her lips, "After all, from childhood to adulthood So Xi'er is willing to save me regardless of her life, and she doesn't expect anything in return."
Bai Xi's heart froze, she understood, it turned out that Helianzheng valued her, it was just that she knew about Helianzheng's assassination in advance, she sacrificed her life to save him, and was remembered by the other party.
"The concubine said."
Bai Xi explained the origin of the system intermittently, but did not say that she was reborn, nor did she say that the rescue of Helianzheng was what she expected in advance, and there was a guarantee from the system, so she dared to block the sword. If everything is said, she promises that Helianzheng won't blink, and she will cut off her head when she draws a knife.
Obviously, she bet right, Helianzheng is indeed more interested in the system.
"Can I speak to the system?"
Bai Xi bit her lip, although she didn't want to, she had to communicate with the system in order to survive, "System, the emperor wants to see you." Knowing that Helianzheng was likely to hear their conversation, Bai Xi had to use the honorific title, and then she found out that Helian Zheng looked at her in confusion, and hurriedly said, "He can't hear?" She carefully communicated with the system consciousness, and she found that Helianzheng didn't respond, and a few thoughts turned around in her mind.
"System, is there any way to help me escape?" Bai Xi asked expectantly.
"Host, your points are not enough." The system's cold voice sounded.
Bai Xi was a little annoyed, "Can't you take credit?"
"I'm very sorry, host, the system doesn't take credit, you can't afford it if you die, and I'll lose."
"Then what's the use of me bringing you here," Bai Xi was furious, blaming this useless system, "He wants to talk to you, you can't help me, you go and talk to him."
It was at this moment that the system was waiting, and he found Helianzheng, "Helianzheng."
"You are that system?"
"right."
"What do you do?" Helianzheng was very curious, and he was thinking more about whether he could get this thing and use it for him.
The system's voice was very cold, as if there was no emotion, "I am currently bound to Bai Xi, and after analyzing Bai Xi, I have made her the path of being a concubine. You don't need me to explain, you should understand what is the road of being a concubine, right?"
"Then what is your purpose?"
The system thought about it, "The higher the status of the person being bound, the greater the benefits I get, which is not harmful to the host, and the host needs to use his own efforts to complete the task if he wants to get the benefits. In a word, the relationship between me and the host belongs to a cooperative relationship, and in the end it is a win-win situation."
The system could feel that Helianzheng was already moved, and as the mysterious High God said, Helianzheng would not let him go.
"Who do you think has a higher status than Concubine Xi?"
"Of course it's you."
Helianzheng asked again, "Then why didn't you choose me?"
The system program was messed up, and he quickly found the answer, "Because you are the Son of Heaven, unless you are willing to bind with me, I will not be able to approach you."
"I say this time because I want to see you, so you can get close. What does this have to do with me being the Son of Heaven?"
Then, the system was silent for a long time before saying, "The Son of Heaven has luck, and luck will protect you, so naturally I won't be allowed to approach."
Helianzheng breathed a sigh of relief, saying that if he is bound to the system, there is no need to be afraid of the other party harming him.
"System, there is a saying that it is good to know the current affairs, and it is more beneficial to cooperate with me than Concubine Xi, what do you think?"
The system thought about it for a while this time and said, "Okay, I can cooperate with you, but I can't take the initiative to help you do bad things, such as harming people or something."
Helianzheng was happier when he heard it. He was also afraid that this system would be dangerous. It seemed that the other party had many restrictions, and it was indeed just an auxiliary tool.
Between the two, an agreement was soon reached. Bai Xi also felt that the system had unbound her, and before she had time to fear, she fainted.
Helianzheng glanced at Bai Xi and waved his hand, "Bring Concubine Xi back to the palace, Concubine Xi is seriously ill, take good care of her, she doesn't need to come out if she is not cured."
Then he returned to the bedroom and communicated with the system, "Analyze me, what path should I make for me."
"At present, there are two paths suitable for the host. One is the road to the emperor's hegemony, which can be called the emperor's hegemony system..."
Before the system could finish speaking, Helianzheng immediately patted his thigh and said excitedly, "I like this emperor system." But he didn't forget that there was still a way, "What else?"
"The second road is the road of longevity. According to my analysis of the host, you are already an emperor. Apart from fighting for the world, the most suitable one for you should be immortality."
After the system finished speaking, he felt Helianzheng's excitement. He asked, "Can't we choose two paths together?" He likes to dominate the world, and he likes longevity. It's really hard to choose.
"No." The system's voice sounded cold, "Only one can be selected, host, please confirm as soon as possible, the binding time is limited, and the second binding cannot be performed at that time."
Next, Helianzheng got into trouble, the system was secretly wiping sweat, that person is really the evil god, even the emperor's mind has been pondered so thoroughly, knowing that the longevity system is directly mentioned, the other party will definitely doubt it. Let him say two ways, Helianzheng basically had no doubts, and began to make difficult choices.
Get the emperor some fake medicine to eat, this is still difficult for him, anyway, he is not a good system, everyone is for cultivation, don't care about you being an evil god, he is a crooked system. He wanted to understand the system, and there was no pressure to pit Helianzheng, mainly because he could feel that Helianzheng's emperor's luck was rapidly weakening, and he didn't know if it was because of the evil god.
In the end, Helianzheng chose the road of longevity.
The system began to issue tasks to him. For example, within a month of being a woman, after the task is completed, he can get an anti-aging elixir. This was too simple for Helianzheng. A month later, he got an elixir, but he didn't eat it and threw it to his eunuch, Eunuch Yu. After Eunuch Yu ate it, the whole person was more than five years younger. Helianzheng observed it for half a month, and there was nothing wrong at all. Eunuch Yu looked at him with even more loyalty and gratitude.
After Helianzheng's three or five trials, he found that the system really only gave him a task before he really started the road to longevity.
The ministers of the court were trembling with fear. After the Chengtian Festival, they found that Helianzheng's temper was much better, and the whole person looked a little ethereal, as if he was about to become an immortal. He Lianzheng, who originally liked to hold the power, actually made a lot of perfunctory decisions when criticizing Zhezi.
Gradually, Helianzheng would stop going to court once every three or five days. They didn't understand why, until after many things happened, Helianzheng didn't care so much, just waved his hands and let them watch and deal with it. The courtiers were a little terrified, and couldn't help but think of Concubine Xi at the Chengtian Festival. Did Concubine Xi confuse Helianzheng
"I heard people talking today that Helianzheng hasn't gone to court for several days." Ning Zhiqing looked at A Xin and said, "He likes to take power all by himself. What makes him stop loving him?"
"But that's fine, so that he doesn't always want to kill my father." Ning Zhiqing said happily, "Lin Guiren, how is the matter of rehabilitating the Prime Minister going?" Even if her Ning family is temporarily safe, it is temporary. , Helianzheng is uncertain, just afraid that he will remember it someday. There are really many heroes of the old generation who died in his hands.
"almost."
A Xin was writing with a pen. Ning Zhiqing looked at the flowing words, a blush flashed on her face. Compared with this, her words really looked like a dog crawling. Or take some time to practice.
"Lin Guiren, what are your plans in the future?" Ning Zhiqing asked, "You are still very young, if you want to leave the palace..." Having said that, Ning Zhiqing didn't say any more. She didn't seem to want Lin Guiren to leave the palace. Ah, she flattened her mouth and changed her words, "If you stay in the palace, I will protect you, okay?"
A Xin looked back at Ning Zhiqing with a smile on her face, and replied, "Okay."
"That's it," Ning Zhiqing was a little happy, "If you are a woman, if you really leave the palace, life will not be so easy, it is better to have someone in the palace to serve you, I can also take care of you, how dangerous it is outside, No one will protect you. What do you want, just ask the palace servants to buy it, if you really want to go out, bring more people." Ning Zhiqing completely forgot that this person in front of her was powerful and mysterious, and now she just wanted to She doesn't quite understand why to keep this person, but it's just right to keep the person.
He Lianfu, who was sitting at the small table watching the memorial, shook his head. The imperial concubine's way of keeping people was also coaxing and threatening, and she didn't know who she learned from. Fortunately, this person was a noble lady. He privately thought that the noble lady should not go out of the palace. What was the reason? He intuitively told him that it was probably related to the noble concubine.
At this moment, someone jumped down from the wall, and Ning Zhiqing was startled, but fortunately she didn't cry out. She stared, and before she asked who the other party was, A Xin said, "He's the guard here?"
"Yeah." He Qing looked at He Lianfu a little excitedly, and controlled the urge to walk over. Lin Guiren said that now is not the time, so he only asked him to come face to face, "The guards in the palace are basically robbed. Our people are in control."
"Also, I heard that He Lianzheng ordered to recall General Ning, so I specially came to inform Lin Guiren, this is just a matter of time."
Ning Zhiqing was in a hurry, spinning in place, really saying something.
A Xin held Ning Zhiqing and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, General Ning will come back to help us sooner or later, and this time is also an opportunity."
"What if..." What if Helianzheng desperately wanted to kill her father
"There is no case."
Ning Zhiqing was not in a hurry, she didn't know why, but Lin Guiren's words always calmed her down.
"System, with your new function, can you really help me pick out loyal people?"
"Host, don't worry, didn't you see it just now? Eunuch Yu's loyalty to you is 95. If you exceed 50, you will be on your side. If you exceed 70, you will be loyal to you. , I will basically not betray you again, if it exceeds 90, then I will only obey your orders."
"Then I will go to see Concubine Xi." Helianzheng was very interested in this new function, and it was said that he could see the loyalty of his courtiers and the sincerity of his concubines. He also wanted to see how much Concubine Xi truly valued him.
When he came to Concubine Xi's Palace, he appeared directly in front of Bai Xi, Bai Xi backed back in fright, and quickly knelt down in response. Helianzheng also saw that Bai Xi's true value to him was zero. At that time, he walked away and blocked the palace of Concubine Xi in anger.
He has now recalled Ning Wuyuan, if Ning Wuyuan's loyalty value is lower than fifty, he will let the other party stay in the capital forever. When he goes to court tomorrow, he will also go to see the loyalty value of those courtiers.
The system is secretly wiping sweat, that evil god in the cold palace can really play.
Helianzheng was fine, and went to see the other concubines in the harem, and found that none of them were above fifty, and the whole person was not well. Finally, he remembered that there was a Lin Guiren and Ning Guifei in the cold palace, and he went without thinking.
Ning Zhiqing was a little terrified about Helianzheng's sudden appearance, and couldn't help but think of the matter that Lin Guiren told her not to read the memorial, but hid it in a hurry. Does Lin Guiren know that Helianzheng will come? This must be too magical, isn't it
Helianzheng stared at Ning Zhiqing, pursed his lips, and communicated with the system, [Concubine Ning actually has eighty-nine?]
[It seems that the host did not love her in vain before.]The system hurriedly made things up, and he was about to be ruined by that evil god.
Then Ning Zhiqing saw Helianzheng's gaze softening at her, and she smiled at her, scared to death, "If Ning Wuyuan is loyal to me, I will make her a noble concubine.]He Lianzheng looked at the lanky Lin Guiren next to him again, and couldn't help but stunned, "There are also seventy-five.]
[It's really unexpected,] Helian Zheng squinted his eyes, [It's rare to have two people who are sincere to me. If you were bound to me earlier, I wouldn't be in a hurry to deal with Mrs. Lin, you can take a look first. his loyalty. It was also Mrs. Lin who was too noisy. He thought that he had been my teacher and dared to point fingers at me. He had to take care of everything. This is not good, and that is not good. It was really annoying. Yes, spoiler.]
When Ah Xin heard Helian Zheng's words, she lowered her head and smiled.
When Helianzheng left, Ning Zhiqing clapped her heart and grabbed Axin's hand, "It scared me to death. If he is sick or not, just stare at me, and he smiles so terribly at me."
Three months later, General Ning Wu Yuanning, who had been guarding the frontier, returned.
