Are you injured?
Chen Yuwei looked surprised and sat up abruptly from her half-reclining position on the couch.
Fortunately, there were no maids serving her, otherwise Chen Yuwei's appearance would have frightened others.
The system continued, "Yes, but the situation isn't too serious. Xingkui will have to wait a few more days to return to the Yuanmingyuan as scheduled."
After all, Xingkui injured her ankle, and even a slight bump would cause it to swell and turn purple. Moreover, Xingkui was pushed down by someone, and twisted her entire leg and half of her arm.
Fearing that Chen Yuwei might not fully understand, the system even cut out several pictures of Xingkui's current miserable state to show its host from all angles.
Chen Yuwei: ...
Chen Yuwei was truly exasperated. Why didn't the system tell her about this in time?
The system looked aggrieved. "I told you, you weren't telling me not to speak."
Furthermore, it wouldn't be a problem if it didn't tell, since it was information the host should have paid for. It's just that the host always likes to take things for free and then threatens it with the tasks it needs to complete.
The system felt it was already very conscientious; among so many systems in the main city, it was the only one that worked diligently and was willing to listen to the host's opinions.
If it were any other system with such a volatile temper, it would have parted ways with its host long ago.
Despite the fact that the main city has all sorts of short-tempered systems that are the number one host complaint list every year, countless of them have been destroyed.
Chen Yuwei exhaled, telling herself to stay calm and not to stoop to the level of the system.
What does the system know? It's just a program that was set at the factory.
"Besides this, what else? Don't lie to me, it concerns the success of the mission. If we fail, all our years of hard work and effort will be wasted."
Chen Yuwei continued to verbally threaten the system, making it clear that getting her to spend money was impossible. Why not take advantage of a freebie?
The system may have been frightened by Chen Yuwei's feigned concern, or it may have felt that there was no harm in saying certain things. After all, once it comes to the real core issues, the system would never speak without the necessary power.
The tacit understanding between Chen Yuwei and the system lies in these everyday little things.
This is also the main reason why they have been able to cooperate until now; Chen Yuwei is clear-headed.
The message was supposed to be sent in, but the host is confined to his bedchamber and cannot go out, so the message has to be temporarily blocked outside.
However, the host's children already knew about this situation, and the emperor also noticed the problems in the palace.
There is a 99% chance that the Emperor will investigate the Forbidden City.
The host being released is only a matter of time.
After the system finished its long explanation, it started muttering about the situation at the Old Summer Palace.
It only saw the excitement; Chen Yuwei didn't ask, so it could only keep it to itself.
Chen Yuwei: ...
Even a talkative emotional system needs an outlet, and it's quite adept at leaking information, isn't it?
Rubbing her sore eyes and brows with one hand, Chen Yuwei sighed at how slow Hongli was in doing things.
The whole incident didn't affect too many palace servants; even with Gao Yu's abilities, he couldn't have caught them all.
What exactly is Hongli stalling for? Could it be that he really doesn't want to release her?
If Hongli heard Chen Yuwei's guess, he would definitely say that she was wronged.
He really didn't mean to deliberately detain Chen Yuwei and prevent her from leaving.
The slow progress was precisely because Hongli attached too much importance to it.
The relationship between Gao Yu and Consort Ling was not innocent, just like the relationship between Gao Yu and Chen Yuwei.
Hongli had been interested in Gao Yu before, and now he would arrange for a trusted confidant to stay by her side and monitor her at all times before sending Gao Yu to investigate.
Gao Yu was already somewhat uneasy, and now with several colleagues around him who were clearly trying to bring him down, one can imagine how he felt.
With such a relationship between investigators, the progress of related matters cannot be accelerated.
Gao Yu basically searched the entire front hall of the Kyushu Qingyan Palace.
Collect all the information related to witchcraft and sorcery contained within.
During this period, all the palace servants who had been in contact with Kyushu Qingyan were called out one by one for questioning.
Those with problems should not be overlooked. The evidence they submitted included even a detailed record of how many sips of water they drank in a day.
Through this kind of investigation, which was much like plowing a field, Gao Yu successfully found Hongli's path.
After reporting back to Hongli, he led his men to the Forbidden City to investigate.
Now, Hongli is in the rear palace of Jiuzhou Qingyan, and the palace servants serving him are all new faces.
Whether he was loyal or not is another matter, but he was definitely devoted enough to serving Hongli.
Emperor Hongli dared not point fingers to the east, and he dared not sing along to operas; his main trait was obedience.
"How are the other people at Yuanmingyuan these past two days? Have any rumors surfaced?"
Hongli was well aware of the public pressure of imprisoning the Imperial Noble Consort who had been by his side for decades. Even if the Imperial Noble Consort brought it upon herself, all sorts of strange and unusual comments were directed at him.
Emperor Hongli was utterly fed up with these baseless rumors and gossip in the harem.
During his many years in office, he did consider using methods to completely eliminate these problems.
Unfortunately, these problems are like maggots clinging to the bone, impossible to eradicate completely, and there is no other way but to endure them.
"Your Majesty, all the ladies in the garden are behaving very well."
There are some rumors circulating, but they are all baseless; Your Majesty need not take them to heart.
Hongli turned his head, his face obscured by the light coming through the window, making him look cold and sinister.
"I need not take it to heart?"
Hongli opened his mouth, speaking casually, but his words sounded like a slap to the palace servants.
The two loud thuds terrified the palace servants, causing them to break down and kneel on the ground, begging for mercy.
