"Su Guifei sent us!"
Seeing that someone was willing to speak, Ming Li lessened her oppressive aura. The black-clad man who had just spoken coughed up a mouthful of blood, instantly feeling his breathing ease.
Ming Li: Oh! This female protagonist is quite interesting. I haven't even sought her out, and she's come running to me. Thinking this, Ming Li's eyes darkened. Looking at the group of black-clad men before her, Ming Li lightly snapped her fingers. In an instant, all the black-clad men, except for the one who had just spoken, vanished, leaving only a few night-traveling suits scattered on the ground.
The black-clad man: ...?! He watched in disbelief as his companions disappeared before his eyes, still not having reacted when the scattered night-traveling suits on the ground suddenly burst into flames.
Ming Li put down her teacup and looked at the black-clad man, her tone playful as she asked, "Speak. Why does your noble consort want to mess with me?"
The black-clad man looked at Ming Li with terrified eyes. Hearing Ming Li's words, he tried to stand up but found his legs too weak. Yet, he still managed to get up, his legs shaking like a sieve. After standing, the black-clad man tremblingly replied, "Noble Consort learned recently that the Emperor has taken a liking to a woman in red and wishes to make that woman the Empress. Noble Consort then sent people to investigate, and it turned out that woman is you. So... so... she wants to eliminate you."
Ming Li: ...?! Has this male protagonist not been beaten enough? Why are both the male and female protagonists targeting her instead of being in love with each other??
Having learned what she wanted to know, Ming Li directly sent this black-clad man to join his comrades. See, she was quite kind after all.
System: ...?! The system, having witnessed the entire process, was trembling with fear. Was its host a devil! Woo woo woo! This host is too terrifying! Can it still apply to change hosts? It feared that one day it would also be 'cut off' by the host.
After dealing with the black-clad man, Ming Li prepared to lie back down and continue sleeping, but tonight was destined to be an extraordinary one.
Not long after Ming Li lay down on the bed, she sensed that someone else had entered her room. What was unusual was that she also smelled a faint scent of blood in the air.
Ming Li frowned, got up, and walked towards the window. Before she even got close, she saw that it was another black-clad man.
Ming Li: ...?! Are those people treating her place as an inn? Everyone wants to come!
Ming Li walked closer and found that this black-clad man had fainted from excessive blood loss. Ming Li, from somewhere, produced a dark pill and, without thinking, fed it to the black-clad man. The black-clad man woke up shortly after taking the pill.
Upon waking and seeing Ming Li, the black-clad man excitedly said, "My lord, my Emperor is in danger, and has specially sent me to seek your help." He then took out a letter from his embrace and handed it to Ming Li.
Ming Li took the letter and opened it, her mouth twitching upon reading its contents.
The letter was filled with two lines of flamboyant calligraphy: Master! I'm being bullied! If you don't come and save your beloved disciple soon, you'll never see me again! Master, help!
After reading the letter, Ming Li: ... If she remembered correctly, the person who wrote this letter should be an Emperor, right?! She really wanted to give him a beating!!
