Qiao Ci’s beautiful eyes narrowed upon hearing this.
“Very good~”
For some reason, the system felt a chill in the air after hearing these two words. But it was just a small system, how could it feel cold?
Illusion, it must be an illusion!
“Beep beep beep… Insufficient energy… System is about to be forced offline… Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain energy… Beep beep beep…”
Fearing the host would curse and vent its anger on it, the little spoon nimbly pretended to go offline, preparing to disappear for a while. It would come out to offer advice and build a relationship with the host when she encountered danger.
Perfect!
Her mind fell into silence. Qiao Ci couldn’t be bothered with this self-directed drama queen system. She looked at her surroundings, felt the residual emotions of the original host, propped her hands behind her head, closed her eyes, and lay back on the bed.
Giving up!
She had to give up!
Whatever system missions there were, she had a fun day, and she’d sleep first.
With a loud bang.
Qiao Ci, who had just entered sleep, was forcefully pulled out of her dream.
“Sister Empress~ Ah, no, look at my mouth. Sister is no longer the Empress now…”
“Sister, your father has already been sent to prison and will be executed after the autumn harvest. You still have the mood to sleep in broad daylight. Those who know will say sister has no recourse but to accept fate. Those who don’t know would think sister is naturally cold-blooded and doesn’t care about her father’s life or death… General Qiao would be so disappointed to know… Sister used to think you were the most loyal, filial, kind, and benevolent…”
Qiao Ci coldly glanced at Wei Zhu.
When Wei Zhu met Qiao Ci’s icy gaze, she inexplicably felt a chill in her head and her legs felt weak. She lowered her eyes and leaned softly against the handsome and tall Xiao Ren.
“Why is Sister so fierce towards me, like a knife… Sister used to love playing and talking with me the most… I saw her so dispirited and advised her a few words, how could she… how could she look at me like this…”
Qiao Ci leaned on the bed, idly appreciating Wei Zhu’s insincerity.
She kept calling her “sister,” yet her whole being exuded a sense of gloating.
Looking at her gaze towards her, filled with jealousy, disgust, triumph, and show-off…
The intention to kill someone’s eyes could not be hidden, she clearly hated the original host to the core.
“Don’t be sad, Zhu Zhu.” Xiao Ren patted Wei Zhu’s shoulder reassuringly, looked coldly at Qiao Ci, and said with disgust, “I’m only here to see you today because Zhu Zhu is kind-hearted and afraid you’ll do something rash alone. I came to enlighten you, and you’re so ungrateful!”
Ungrateful?
Qiao Ci glanced at him subtly. She hadn’t done anything, so why was she ungrateful?!!
“Since I married you, I have never touched you in the slightest. It’s because I’ve seen through your vile nature.”
“You should also give up this idea early. Don’t harbor any more unrealistic infatuated fantasies for me.”
“I have never loved you, I only love Zhu Zhu.”
“Your Majesty… This concubine also only loves you…”
“Zhu Zhu…”
Seeing the two of them exchanging flirtatious glances, oozing with affection, looking as if they wanted to consummate their marriage on the spot, Qiao Ci felt like she was superfluous.
Should I leave then?
She quietly got up, preparing to make space for the amorous couple. The moment she moved, she alerted Xiao Ren, who pulled Wei Zhu behind him and frowned, “Don’t you dare harm Zhu Zhu. She has always treated you as a sister. It was me who couldn’t help myself, I fell in love with her first.”
Qiao Ci was unhappy.
She felt she had been very patient, enduring two fools for at least three minutes!
“You’d best recognize your status…”
“Slap!”
“Ah… Pfft~”
A slap swept towards Xiao Ren, carrying some internal energy, and directly sent the nagging man spinning into the open space outside the door.
“You dare to be so cruel to His Majesty, ah~”
Qiao Ci had no habit of not hitting women. She retaliated with another great slap. Wei Zhu covered her left cheek and spun 720 degrees, crashing into Xiao Ren.
“Presumptuous! You slut, how dare you lay hands on me, and you even hit my beloved concubine! Are you trying to rebel?” Xiao Ren nudged his loose teeth with his tongue, angrily labeling Qiao Ci as a rebel.
Qiao Ci picked at her ear, revealed her pale teeth, and cackled eerily, “Man, do you know you’re playing with fire?”
Qiao Ci’s exaggerated expression stunned Xiao Ren.
This expression, this tone, had she gone mad?
“Do you know the consequences of provoking this Palace?”
Qiao Ci approached menacingly, and without a greeting, unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks on the two of them.
For a moment, the entire cold palace was filled with ghostly wails…
“You ungrateful dog! You didn’t want to leave the room for the two of you, but you had to provoke this Grandma. Don’t you know you shouldn’t provoke a woman who lacks sleep?”
“Satisfied? Hmm? Comfortable, ah?”
“And you claim you don’t love me! Look at your sallow face, can you even love?”
“Didn’t you call me sister? Why aren’t you calling me sister now?”
Qiao Ci continued to scold and curse as she beat the two of them.
The little spoon, who was silently observing, was scared stiff.
It had never seen such a violent host, who immediately started beating the son and daughter of destiny.
When it reacted, the little spoon disregarded its “offline” state and shouted to stop her, “No, no, host, you’re going to beat them to death! Stop it! Stop hitting!”
Qiao Ci, who was about to stop, kicked Xiao Ren a few more times. Afterwards, she grabbed both of them like dead dogs and threw them outside the courtyard.
“If you babble nonsense in front of me again, I’ll beat you every time I see you! Scram~”
She had cursed and beaten them, and now she felt relieved!
Just as she was about to turn back into the room, Xiao Ren, from outside the courtyard, cursed loudly, “Bitch, you wait! I’ll flay you, dismember you, and torture you to death!!!”
Seeing Qiao Ci pause, the little spoon wished it could rush forward and cover Xiao Ren’s mouth!
No, no, don’t stir up more trouble! This wild host will really beat you to death!!!
Fortunately, Qiao Ci only paused for a moment before continuing back into the room.
The little spoon breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the son of destiny who was almost beaten to death, it anxiously paced, its spoon handle leaving afterimages. How could it conquer the son of destiny now?
This wasn’t giving up, it looked like she could arrange a banquet for the son and daughter of destiny!
“Your Majesty, please calm down. Sister definitely didn’t mean it. Sister has always loved and respected you so much… It’s just… it’s fine if you hit me, but how could you bear to hit yourself…” Wei Zhu, covering her pig-like swollen face, still didn’t forget to instigate Qiao Ci.
Xiao Ren could no longer hear what she was saying. He was utterly shocked at this moment. He knew Qiao Ci had some martial arts skills, but he didn’t expect her to slap him away and beat him so helplessly.
As the crown prince, he usually had a strong physique. During their usual playful scuffles, Qiao Ci only used clever tricks, and her strength was no match for his.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. The beating just now was too swift, and he only then realized how dangerous he was. He quickly got up and shouted, “Guard! Guard!”
But where would the guards be?
Qiao Ci now had nothing. Her father’s life was in his hands. Coupled with Xiao Ren’s slight machismo, he had dismissed all the palace servants and guards, coming alone with his beauty.
Too flustered, he stumbled onto Wei Zhu, who had just managed to get up, and they both fell down.
“Your… Your… Majesty… This… concubine… Pfft~”
A mouthful of hot blood sprayed onto the back of Xiao Ren’s head, making him slightly clearer-headed.
Wei Zhu’s small, swollen, and red face was now bruised from being pressed by him. Combined with the sprayed blood, she no longer looked as elegant and refined as before, causing the frightened Xiao Ren to suffer a second blow.
“Ah, a ghost!”
Xiao Ren’s body trembled, pressing Wei Zhu, who started rolling her eyes…
Ultimately, it was a misjudgment!
Struggling to move out from under the terrified Xiao Ren, Wei Zhu looked at Xiao Ren with resentment.
Xiao Ren finally realized his loss of composure. Fortunately, no one else saw it.
Xiao Ren took a deep breath and prepared to get up.
It was hilarious, he simply couldn’t get up!
His legs were weak~
The thought that the empress he had been married to for a year had been hiding her strength sent a chill through him.
With Qiao Ci’s martial arts so strong, would she perhaps have a change of heart and launch a counterattack?
By the time he scrambled up in a panic, he didn’t even spare his true love and fled ignominiously.
Wei Zhu stood there stunned.
