Since they're leaving, they should take Gu Qingzhou with them; they don't even want to leave behind a clone.

The system said: [Host, in the past I always took Gu Qingzhou's soul away, leaving only a copy. This time... you're not leaving anything behind?]

Chu Qingxuan said, "[Mm.]"

The system said: [Then I must explain, the villain has no memory of the events in the next dimension.]

Chu Qingxuan waved her hand: [Alright, let's go to the next dimension.]

It's just a memory.

It's better to not have it.

If the villains in this world were like Gu Qingzhou, she probably wouldn't be able to handle them.

As her consciousness gradually faded, Chu Qingxuan groggily awoke to find herself in an antique-style room. A woman bowed respectfully to her and asked, "Your Majesty, you're awake?"

Chu Qingxuan nodded lightly, "Mm."

"Your Majesty should go to court."

Chu Qingxuan rubbed her slightly aching temples and said, "You go out, I... will do it myself."

"朕" (Zhen) is indeed an unfamiliar title.

But she likes it.

In order to avoid the female official noticing that something was wrong, he had no choice but to endure it.

After the female official left, the system appeared in Chu Qingxuan's consciousness space.

System: [Host, I will send you the data information for this dimension shortly. Please check your inbox.]

The original owner was the noble Empress of the Tianqi Dynasty, who reigned for two years but was infamous.

Because she's a hopeless romantic, she can't move her feet when she sees a handsome man.

According to popular legend, countless handsome men were "ruined" by their original owners. What they didn't know was that their empress was actually still a budding flower.

Recently, the original owner took a fancy to a man who looked like a deity, namely Ruan Qingchen, the Grand Preceptor of the Tianqi Dynasty.

A few days ago, the original owner met Ruan Qingchen. As soon as she got close to him, Ruan Qingchen saw her infatuated look and, without saying a word, slapped the original owner away.

He was unconscious for several days until Chu Qingxuan arrived and he woke up.

Chu Qingxuan rubbed her eyes helplessly; the villain in this world seemed to really dislike her.

He pondered for a moment, rubbing his chin, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

Let's go see Ruan Qingchen first.

After tidying herself up, Chu Qingxuan arrived at the imperial court with a retinue of attendants and sat upright on the dragon throne.

After Chu Qingxuan sat down, the ministers knelt down and bowed, saying, "Long live the Emperor!"

"Rise."

She glanced at the men in front of her with a smile, and finally fixed her gaze on the man in white at the very front.

This is the one who didn't kneel down just now.

Chu Qingxuan rested her chin on her hand, a smile in her eyes, as she looked him over.

He was handsome, with a pair of deep phoenix eyes that held a coldness in them. He wore a moon-white long robe and had a slender figure, which was completely out of place with the magnificent and resplendent decorations here.

He must be Ruan Qingchen.

She's good-looking.

Chu Qingxuan rested her elbows lazily on the dragon throne and said indifferently, "If you have something to report, speak up; if not, the court may adjourn."

As soon as he finished speaking, an elderly man with white hair stepped forward. “Your Majesty, I have something to report.”

"explain."

Chu Qingxuan looked at the minister with a calm demeanor. In the original owner's memories, this minister was named Li Wen and held the position of Minister.

Li Wen clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, a plague has broken out in the south. Local officials have requested Your Majesty to allocate funds for disaster relief."

Chu Qingxuan waved her hand magnanimously, "Alright, I'll leave this to you."

The court was silent. Why had the Empress changed her mind today?

In the past, she would have simply said, "Don't worry about it. They can support themselves. Don't report this kind of thing in the future."
