Chapter 53 The Emperor’s Favorite Concubine
When the manager came to give Su Qingyu clothes and food, 527 was scolding Su Qingyu.
[Host, didn’t you say you should be careful! 】
[Be careful with the scumbag prince, and be even more careful with the emperor! 】
[Aren’t you plucking hair from a tiger’s mouth? 】
Su Qingyu: [527 Do you even know how to pluck hair from a tiger’s mouth? 】
527 is a little proud, [Hmm. 】
In just a few minutes, it scrambled out of the sugar-coated bullets and said, [Host, don’t change the subject! What you did just now was too dangerous, the emperor must be angry, and the consequences will be too serious. 】
Just as it said this, the manager brought someone to untie Su Qingyu's clothes and food.
The steward said: "Master, are you hungry? Your Majesty asked the old slave to prepare some food for you. It's getting colder and colder today. Please put on your clothes and don't get sick again."
526: [...? 】
Don't guess what His Majesty is thinking.
Su Qingyu suppressed a smile and thanked the emperor and the steward.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, the steward discussed with him and said: "Master, I see that you don't look very good. Are you feeling unwell these past two days? Why don't you go back to rest after eating, so as not to worry the emperor?" .”
Su Qingyu said: "But I want to look at the emperor. Looking at the emperor makes me feel at ease and happy."
Manager: "..."
The manager no longer knew what to say. He felt that the young master of the General's Mansion must have been greatly stimulated.
He didn't listen to the emperor's words in the imperial study room. That's all. The emperor had already shown his displeasure just now, but he still said such things?
Even he couldn't tell whether this was offensive or flattering.
The emperor never likes flattery, he only cares about actual performance.
The manager wanted to say something to him again. Su Qingyu raised his head and said to him: "Manager, aren't I thinking about my mistakes?"
The manager choked on his words, "Yes."
Su Qingyu: "The Emperor asked me to think about my mistakes, how could I leave?"
Manager: "..."
The steward went back and stood beside the emperor honestly, praying in his heart that the emperor would not ask.
The emperor really didn't ask at first. He raised his eyebrows and corrected the memorial. He took a little longer than usual and looked particularly serious.
And when the manager thought he had forgotten about it amid all the family and country affairs mentioned in the memorial, he took a sip of tea and asked: "Has the old news left?"
The steward had already thought of how to answer. Rather than saying that the emperor wanted him to think about his mistakes and not leave, it would be better to say: "Back to the emperor, the master has not left yet. He said that he wanted to look at the emperor. Seeing the emperor, he felt at ease and happy."
After saying that, the steward observed the emperor's expression carefully and could not tell whether he was angry or happy. He lowered his head and slowly drank the tea. His long eyelashes covered the expression in his eyes. When he put down the tea cup, he seemed to have no emotion at all. But he didn't pick up the pen again.
Sit for a while longer and it will be lunch time.
The emperor said: "Let several princes come to have a meal together."
When the steward was about to go down and give his instructions, the emperor added, "Let us rest together."
The steward paused for a second and said, "Yes, I will make arrangements now."
After hearing the news, Su Qingyu smiled again.
I don’t know why, but in this world, 527 felt nervous when he saw him smiling. It asked nervously: [Host, what are you going to do? 】
This world is so bottomless.
At the beginning, the host should have been as clueless as him. After meeting the emperor yesterday, he suddenly said that he had a way to deal with the scumbag. 527 always felt that it was not a safe way.
The emperor's meal was naturally different from what they had in the previous world, and it took a long time to prepare. 527 asked, and Su Qingyu took advantage of this time to talk to 527 about the mission in this world. He also had questions to ask 527.
Su Qingyu: [In the mission world, is it true that a person’s life and death cannot be reversed? 】
527: [The entrusted ghost’s death is destined. The host can leave early, but cannot live for one more day. 】
Su Qingyu said "Hmm". He knew this and it was clearly written in the rules in the contract, so in Xu Yunhan's world, he gave up treatment for gastric cancer directly.
He always thought that not only the person he wore, but also everyone in the world was destined to die irreversibly.
In the second world, on the night of Jin Wanwan's death, he carefully read the system rules in the contract, but found that there were no clear instructions for other people.
Su Qingyu, who has signed many contracts, knows that if there are no clear regulations, there is room for maneuver.
really.
527 said: [Other people, generally speaking, are doomed to die, unless this person's immortality can bring about great good causes and effects, and the merit of this thing exceeds the cost of restarting the life and death of the world in Fengdu Hell. 】
527 knew why the host asked this. He wanted to save the master's family.
Such conditions did not exist in the previous two worlds. This world may be possible, so 527 mentioned special circumstances.
The death of the master's father and son caused a war and chaos. Shi Yanming's rebellion caused countless deaths. If Shi's father and son had not died, countless people would not have had their families destroyed. This is indeed a great merit.
527 reminded him: [But this is a very dangerous thing. If the host insists on changing their death outcome, the subsequent cause and effect will be borne by the host. The Fengdu system has always discouraged the host from doing this. 】
[Host, you don’t have to bear their life or death, even if this is the heaviest part of the master’s obsession. We are a scumbag system. As long as we reform the scumbag, the Fengdu system will naturally give us enough repentance points to pass the level. 】
This is a fact.
The Fengdu system does not recommend the host to do this, so the special situation is not written in the rules of the host contract. Generally, no host will notice that this hidden condition can be triggered.
A ghost's obsession usually cannot have only one emotion. They are a scumbag system, and they only need to reform scumbags. Even if 527 knows that the merits of the entrusting ghost are not easy to come by, they hope for such an opportunity to be freed. They took the entrusting ghost's For merit, we should consider them more and fulfill their wishes more.
However, all this must be within their capabilities.
Not only was this beyond the scope of the mission, it was also far beyond what they could bear.
Su Qingyu laughed.
527: [? 】
It's fur exploded.
Su Qingyu analyzed with 527: [Master Guxi has an obvious advantage among the commissioned ghosts of the scumbag transformation system. He is not a love brain. 】
527 thought about it, indeed.
After Yu Jing'an married the prince's concubine, his master still liked him and secretly stayed with him. From a modern perspective, he was hopelessly in love.
In the ancient world, one cannot look at his behavior from the perspective of modern society. In this world, a man can marry several women or men. It is normal to like someone who has married a wife. What's more, at that time, his teacher and old friend thought that Yu Jingan loved him very much. , married someone else as a last resort.
After he understood that Yu Jingan had no choice but to give up on this relationship, he voluntarily gave up on this relationship, even though he loved Yu Jingan very much.
Su Qingyu said: [Even though he was imprisoned and humiliated by Yu Jingan, he never thought about dying. After all, he was a young general from the master's family, and his mind was not that fragile. Did he feel humbled after learning that his father and brother were dead? Death, and he couldn't bear to break his neck because he couldn't avenge them. 】
[Of course he hates scumbags, but the lives of his family are more important to him. This is the cause of his death and his biggest obsession. 】
527 admitted, "Saving his family should indeed be his greatest wish, and it is more important to him than anything else." 】
It said again: [But this is not our task, we only care about the scumbags. 】
Su Qingyu: [So, if I can save his family and do other "bad things", he will be able to accept it, right? 】
The feeling of danger came, and 527 asked in a low voice: "What's the bad thing?" 】
Su Qingyu thought for a while and did not answer its question. Instead, he said to it: "I originally thought that in this world, we wouldn't get much merit and repentance." 】
527 nodded, [I know the host because this world is too difficult, right? 】
Su Qingyu: [Not only that, I can’t satisfy Master Guxi anymore, he might have some objections. 】
【Uh-huh! 】527 understands, 【We can't save his family, he may not be so satisfied, but he knows the rules and will understand. 】
Su Qingyu: [It’s not because of this. 】
【ah? 】527 I don’t understand, 【Why else would he be dissatisfied? 】
Su Qingyu asked: [Master Guxi respects the emperor very much, right? 】
527 nodded. Everyone in the master's family is loyal to the emperor. He doesn't need much sleep and has watched more plots than Su Qingyu. Knowing that his master is not only loyal to the emperor, he admires the emperor who conquered the world at a young age. He is simply in awe. A little fanboy.
Su Qingyu raised her peach blossom eyes and said, "What if I sleep with his emperor?" 】
Thunder breaks out from the ground.
527: [What, what, what... you, you, you\u0026$%*#@! 】
Su Qingyu: [Don't get excited, it doesn't necessarily mean I'm really sleeping, I just want to be a scumbag. 】
527: 【\u003e # %*$\u0026 @*$! 】
Su Qingyu: [……]
For the first time, he intuitively felt that 527 was a system, and garbled codes appeared.
He concluded, "This is what I mean by "bad things." 】
Although after the reform of the Fengdu system, he used his own body. According to what the head of the Niutou Horsemian family deliberately said to Bo Yunyi, their host could sleep with whoever he wanted, and he could no longer control it.
However, Su Qingyu knew that he couldn't just take his body as a matter of course, and he couldn't act arbitrarily just because the body was his own. After all, he still bore the name and identity of his master.
At first, Su Qingyu was still hesitant. After knowing that he could potentially save the family of his deceased master, Su Qingyu felt that the matter was perfectly resolved.
He saved the master's family, so the master should be able to accept him doing some bad things in his name.
After all, his biggest obsession is to save his family. The death of his family is his greatest pain and the most unacceptable thing.
【Scumbag! ! ! 】
527 finally recovered from the garbled state, [You are greedy for the emperor’s body! 】
Su Qingyu: […I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense. 】
If he is greedy, he is also greedy for Bo Yunyi's body.
Yesterday, the emperor held his right wrist and helped him up, almost making him sure that the person Bo Yunyi wore this time was the emperor, an identity that was beyond his expectation.
Later, he thought about it and found that Bo Yunyi wore identities that had been in the world mission for a short time and were very useful. For example, Jiang Huiyin and Xi Qinghe both returned from abroad and left soon after.
The identity of the emperor is indeed the same, and his health is dying.
Today he tested again and was sure that the one Bo Yunyi was wearing was the emperor.
That's why he came up with this idea. Who said that the prince must be used to deal with the prince? Once Bo Yunyi appears, there will be a more interesting way.
527: [Host, wake up! The emperor may have great beauty, but he is not in good health! 】
Su Qingyu: [You don’t know how good his figure is under his dragon robe. 】
He knew from the previous world that Bo Yunyi was also wearing one. He and Xi Qinghe had slept in the same bed for so long and even hugged each other. This could still be seen. It's just that Bo Yunyi traveled through time randomly, and the face he wore didn't look like his. What he wore was the face of the original owner.
527: [? ? ? 】
【Scumbag! ! ! 】
[He is the emperor, the head of a country in ancient imperial society. Host, what are you, what are you...] 527 was so excited that he got stuck. For a long time, something came out of his mouth that he didn’t know where he saw it, [Host, what are you doing? You are playing with fire! 】
Su Qingyu: [……]
While 527 was still trying to pull the host back from the fire pit, a palace maid came to invite Su Qingyu to dinner.
Dasheng Palace does not have many red tapes. During the battlefield, the emperor often sat and ate with Shi Guxi's father and others. At this time, Shi Guxi ate at the same table with him, and others were not surprised.
Five princes have arrived.
The emperor has five princes and four princesses. The prince and the second prince were born in the same year. The third prince was a year later. The remaining two princes were born after the war, so there is a big age difference between them. The fifth prince is only six years old. Not even a year old, a little one, just here to eat.
It was mainly the three princes in front who spoke.
Seeing him coming out of the side hall, the three of them stopped talking and looked at him.
The prince said in surprise: "Xiao Xi entered the palace so early? Why don't you rest at home more?"
Su Qingyu glanced at the third prince and replied to the prince, "I have nothing to do at home, so I went to the palace to serve His Majesty."
He looked at the third prince again, suppressed the bitterness in his eyes, and said with a smile: "The third prince is happy to be married."
The third prince looked at him even more deeply.
The 527 that was chanting in Su Qingyu's mind suddenly stopped when she saw the look in his eyes for some reason.
Seeing them like this, a semi-informed person would think that they were a pair of mandarin ducks being beaten with a stick, and they could only suppress their implicit love in front of others.
The third prince said hoarsely: "Gu Xi's face doesn't look good and he has no energy, but he has been feeling unwell for the past two days? I must pay more attention to him."
527: [……]
No, he's in high spirits, and he's excited to be your mother.
The second prince said "Hey", "Don't the relationship between the third emperor brother and Gu Xi have always been very good? Why do we look so strange today? Is it because the third emperor brother has been busy with his wedding recently and neglected Gu Xi? This can't be done. "
Su Qingyu: "..."
If he hadn't known the second prince's IQ, he would have thought that the second prince had discovered his relationship with Yu Jingan.
The third prince looked at him and was about to speak when the emperor came.
In fact, the emperor had just arrived at the door, and happened to hear Su Qingyu's words to serve the emperor.
The steward was silent for a while, thinking about how he served the emperor.
He looked at the emperor carefully. For some reason, the emperor stopped outside the door.
He didn't care about speculating on the emperor's thoughts. Fortunately, the princes and their teacher Guxi spoke in ordinary language, and the emperor came in after listening to a few words.
After the emperor sat down, several young men took their seats, and the palace servants began to serve the dishes quietly.
The emperor called the people over, but didn't say anything specifically. He just said a few words before eating, and then began to eat quietly.
Su Qingyu didn't understand what he meant. Could it be to create opportunities for him and Yu Jingan to facilitate his task?
Then he really couldn't waste this opportunity.
Su Qingyu took a few bites and then complained that he felt uncomfortable and could not eat anymore. Under the hidden gaze of the third prince, he stood behind the emperor dutifully and immediately became a qualified commander.
Manager: "..."
Mr. Xiaoshi worked extra hard today, working so hard that he had nothing to do.
Just as he was thinking this, he found that his job had been taken away by Master Xiaoshi.
As soon as the emperor took a sip of tea and put down the cup, the young master, relying on his long hands and arms, took the lead and went to get the teapot to pour tea for the emperor.
Perhaps the porcelain pot was too hot, or for some other reason. Master Xiaoshi, who had never served anyone before, suddenly loosened his fingers and the teapot became crooked and was about to fall off.
There was hot tea inside, and the manager's eyes widened in horror.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Master Xiaoshi, who was not good at serving others, was still a qualified commander of Yuansi, and he immediately protected the emperor.
At the same time, the emperor reached out and held his right wrist to pull him away from the hot water splashing range.
The whole process happened in an instant. Before anyone could react, the young master lay in the emperor's arms, and most of the pot of hot tea splashed on the third prince's face.
Seeing that it had not spilled on the emperor, everyone felt happy and hurriedly stepped forward to clean it up.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"Is the Third Prince okay?"
"Go and call the doctor!"
Only 527 saw how Su Qingyu fell into the emperor's arms when he was dragged over, and how his face happened to be pressed against the emperor's heart while his hands pressed on his waist and abdomen.
527: [……]
It had worried that the host would yell at Jiang Huiyin, and also thought that the host would not be able to help but do something if he slept in the same bed with Xi Qinghe for so long. nothing.
But he really took action against someone it never expected.
Su Qingyu lay in the emperor's arms, with the familiar scent of cold snow in his nose, mixed with a touch of ambergris. In the brief noise, he listened to his heartbeat for more than ten seconds, raised his pale face, and panicked. Looking at the cold-faced emperor.
He may have realized how serious this matter was, and his peach-blossom eyes were wide open and watery with fear.
His face was already covered with a layer of illness. Now his face was pale, his eyes were bright and panicked, and his thin lips were slightly open. With the help of the broken and uneasy aura, when he looked up at people like this, he looked so good-looking. shock.
The manager who was about to pull him up couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
The steward's heart trembled. How could I describe the feeling at that moment? Even he, the eunuch, couldn't help but want to hold him in his arms.
He glanced at the emperor subconsciously. He stood diagonally behind the emperor and could not see the whole picture. He could only see that the emperor's jaw was clenched tightly and he was looking down at him.
This scene was so... strange that even several princes looked over.
The steward hurriedly stepped forward to help the person in the emperor's arms, "Master, are you okay?"
I don't know whether it was because he was frightened that his legs were weak, or because he was tripped. The teacher who had just stood up suddenly fell into the emperor's arms.
"..."
【……】
There was an eerie silence in the palace.
In the silence, everyone could clearly hear the trembling in Shi Guxi's voice, "I deserve to die. Your Majesty, please forgive me. Third Prince, please forgive me."
Not only was his voice trembling, but his body was also trembling slightly, especially his thin shoulders, which were obvious.
The third prince was just in a position where he could see his eyes and see the way he looked up.
He had never seen his master Guxi so frightened before. There was a layer of water in his eyes, as if he was going to cry from fear in the next second, but he couldn't stand up at this time.
This is indeed disrespectful. It depends on how the emperor views this matter.
Yu Jing'an could see the abnormality of his master's death today. He regarded it as his wedding, and it was difficult to accept his master's death.
It was because he married someone else, he was sad, angry, or wronged. He behaved differently than usual. It was to attract his attention, to be angry with him, or for other reasons, but he did not expect that such a thing would happen.
Yu Jing'an carefully glanced at his father's gloomy and tense face, hesitated for a moment, stood up and said, "I'm fine."
The water was indeed hot, and his face had been scalded red, but it wasn't boiling water either. Apart from being red and painful, there was nothing else.
527: [……]
It said in a word: [Host, repentance value +2. 】
Yu Jing'an thought about what to say for a moment, then saw his father standing up with the man in his arms, handing him to the eunuch behind him, "Send him to the side hall to rest."
He then said to the supervisor: "Ask Nie Haishu to be on duty in the afternoon."
Finally, his eyes fell on Su Qingyu, "If you feel unwell, just rest at home for two days. There is no need to go to the palace during these two days."
There was no obvious punishment, and it was not clear whether the emperor was angry or compassionate with this sentence. This incident, which shocked the whole palace and made everyone in the palace at a loss, was solved just like this.
527 also breathed a sigh of relief. It took one last look at the emperor's face, which was not happy at all, and said to Su Qingyu: "Look, host, you have failed. I told you, this emperor is not addicted." You beautiful fool, you are playing with fire by doing this, it is too dangerous. 】
After everyone in the palace retreated, Su Qingyu stared at his fingers for a few seconds, twirled them, and said happily: "What do children know?" 】
527 was annoyed by him. His host was a stubborn person who would not listen to advice and would slander the system as a child.
527 snorted twice and asked: [Does the host want to continue his efforts, or should he return to the general's mansion? 】
Su Qingyu: [Go back. 】
527 thought he was a little frustrated and didn't dare to show his happiness too obviously, [Okay! Let's go back! 】
Su Qingyu took a symbolic rest in the side hall for a while, and then returned to the general's mansion to rest as ordered.
Before meeting the minister in the afternoon, the emperor casually asked: "Has he gone back?"
Of course the manager knew who this "he" was, and immediately said: "Go back to the emperor, my master has returned."
The emperor said "hmm".
The steward felt that the emperor's expression was a little strange. He actually felt a little relieved and some other inexplicable feelings.
The steward hurriedly shook his head. The young ancestor of the General's Mansion had returned, and he was the one who should breathe a sigh of relief.
How is it possible for the emperor!
It's just that he didn't relax for long, because the little ancestor left and came back at night.
The steward bent down and told the emperor carefully about the situation outside, "Master Xiaoshi came again and said that he had rested and came to atone for his sins. He would stay in the palace to protect the emperor tonight. Master Nie would not let him in. , and he knelt outside the door."
"..."
