Chapter 32 The Queen Fell into the Water

Kong Xueer, who was pouring tea at the side, glanced at the two of them, and then looked at the pond beside them.

Seeing that the two were playing chess enthusiastically, Feng Xiyao secretly got up and walked out again.

Ruyi saw her come out and asked her in a low voice: "My Lady, why did you come out?"

Feng Xiyao looked at the two people who were playing chess seriously behind him and said: "Let's go build a snowman!"

“…”

Feng Xiyao was in a playful mood and built a tall snowman by herself, and even decorated its eyes and nose.

Mo Cangyan put down the chess piece in his hand, looked up at her playful look, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Kong Xueer handed the prepared tea to him. Seeing that her eyes were always on the emperor, Concubine Li glared at her fiercely.

Just as Kong Xueer handed the tea to her, she shook her hand deliberately and the whole cup of tea spilled on Kong Xueer.

"You useless thing, you can't even serve tea, how are you going to serve the Emperor?"

Mo Cangyan's eyes had been on Feng Xiyao just now. When he heard the voice, he turned around and saw Kong Xueer covered in tea, her eyes full of tears.

He frowned and said calmly, "Dry your clothes first, or you'll catch a cold!"

Kong Xueer gritted her teeth: "Yes!"

Seeing that Mo Cangyan did not blame her, Concubine Li raised her head proudly.

“…”

Feng Xiyao was rolling a snowball when suddenly a pair of feet appeared in front of her. She looked up and saw Concubine Li's mocking eyes.

She looked away: "What are you doing here? Why don't you continue playing chess with your cousin?"

Concubine Li smiled and said, "The Emperor has important things to deal with, so I came out to see what you are doing!"

"Now that you've seen it, you can go!" Feng Xiyao still kept his head down and didn't look at her.

Seeing that she ignored her, Concubine Li walked over unhappily and said, "Feng Xiyao, don't think that I will be grateful to you just because you gave up your position to me. You stole my position as queen, and I will not let you go!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiyao helplessly stopped what he was doing and stood up.

"Lin Baoning, do you have some kind of paranoia? I just asked you to be my shield because I didn't want to play chess with Mo Cangyan. Why do you keep flattering yourself?"

"Also, the position of empress was conferred by Mo Cangyan. If you have the guts, go and reason with him. Don't throw anything on me!"

She said this in one breath, glared at Concubine Li, then squatted down and continued to make a snowman.

Concubine Li was speechless after being scolded, and she was filled with rage. When she saw Feng Xiyao lovingly inserting the hairpin on her head into the snowman, she pretended to be careless and kicked the snowman down with her foot.

"Oh, I didn't mean it. The Queen won't blame me, will she?"

She said it so loudly that others looked over.

Feng Xiyao raised her eyes and glared at her fiercely, but she did not retaliate like before. Instead, she filled the part that Concubine Li kicked with snow.

Seeing that she was indifferent, Concubine Li folded her hands in mockery.

"Humph, you are indeed a useless person, just like your spineless father, annoying!"

Concubine Li deliberately provoked Feng Xiyao to let the emperor see how vulgar this queen was.

Feng Xiyao stood up and pushed Concubine Li down: "Concubine Li, no matter what, my father is a high-ranking official in Daxia, you can't just mock him casually!"

"If you want to talk about incompetent people, it's Lin Youquan, who relied on his royal family to collude with the rebels. And your shameless sister, a vixen, seduced a married man!"

Concubine Li looked at Feng Xiyao with her eyes wide open: "How dare you make up stories about my family..."

Having said that, he stood up and grabbed Feng Xiyao's hand, and the two of them started fighting, neither giving in.

Kong Xueer saw the two men fighting and ran over immediately.

"My two ladies, please stop fighting!"

Concubine Li waved Kong Xueer away and said, "Get away from me, you bastard!"

Kong Xueer's face turned red when she was scolded. She was originally holding Concubine Li's hand, but she quietly exerted force to push her towards Feng Xiyao.

Feng Xiyao was pushed backwards and stepped on a string of bracelets.

“Bang!”

A thin layer of ice had frozen onto the surface of the pond, which was unable to bear the weight of a person, and Feng Xiyao fell into it.

The freezing water drowned her, and the heavy clothes pulled her down.

"Help! The Queen has fallen into the water!" Kong Xueer shouted.

When Mo Cangyan saw Feng Xiyao fall into the water, he ran out immediately. Seeing this, Qin Fang turned over and jumped in. It took him a while to rescue Feng Xiyao.

"Your Majesty, I didn't mean it!"

Concubine Li looked at her hands in disbelief. She disliked Feng Xiyao, but she never thought of pushing her down.

It's so cold, you'll die if you fall down.

Concubine Li wanted to explain, but Mo Cangyan didn't look at her. He took off his fox fur coat and covered Feng Xiyao with it, then carried her towards Fengchun Palace.

“…”

Kong Xueer smiled when she saw Mo Cangyan was so worried about Feng Xiyao. She just couldn't believe that the Emperor would not punish Concubine Li even after all this.

…

In her dream, Feng Xiyao only felt that her body was very cold, and no matter how she hugged herself, she could not warm herself up. She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were very heavy.

When she was able to open her eyes, she found herself in a world that seemed to have no end, with water all around her. With every step she took, a red spider lily would grow under her feet.

【Welcome host to Infinity! 】

【Endless, what the hell? 】

Feng Xiyao only remembered that she was pushed into the lake and then lost consciousness. How did she end up here before she knew it?

[Host, this is where we first met. When you died suddenly, I brought your soul here and then passed it to Feng Xiyao! ]

Thinking about how miserable her life had been these days, she wanted to slap the system in the face.

【Then I really want to thank you! 】

The system thought she really wanted to thank it, so it shyly covered its face and said, "No, no, I only found you because I saw that the host has a clear skeleton!"

Not wanting to see the dead end of the system, Feng Xiyao asked quickly.

[So, how come I am here again now? Am I dead again? ]

The system shook its head and nodded.

[The host was pushed into the icy lake. He would have died according to normal procedures, but in the last minute before he died, he was pulled here by this system. It was like a machine failure, shutting down at the critical moment! ]

Feng Xiyao pursed her lips, seeming to understand but not quite understand. However, she didn't want to continue thinking about it.

So, why did you bring me here?

[Because our future doctor studied the brain wave time machine and wanted to verify it, so he found you! ]

Feng Xiyao sneered upon hearing this: [What, I am your experiment? ]

The system thought about it and nodded [Yes! ]

Before Feng Xiyao could start to scold, it continued: [But we will compensate you. No matter what, as long as the host's health value increases by 30%, you can get huge wealth in this world. If it increases by 60%, you can change the original plot of the book. If it increases by 100%, you can go home or realize one of your wishes! ]

Feng Xiyao swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She was still very interested in such an interesting thing.

But thinking about the fact that her health value had remained stable at 22% recently, she didn't understand why this happened and was about to cry.

[So, my health is stuck at 22% and won’t go up. 100% is too far for me!]

The system was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Is 100% too far away? It has been this number for so many years. Sometimes the host needs to reflect on whether he has been working hard after being here for so long!"

【……】

Feng Xiyao frowned. Why did this sentence sound so familiar and so infuriating?

When she thought of the original words, the corners of her mouth twitched with anger.

Seeing that she was about to get angry, the system quickly apologized, "Sorry, the atmosphere has become so tense, I couldn't help but act out!"

Feng Xiyao was too lazy to bother with this improper system and said in disgust: [Hurry up, what should I do? ]

As soon as she finished speaking, a white light appeared in front of her eyes, and the system's voice sounded: [Host, once you pass through this door, you will be my official host, and your health will also increase normally! ]

[However, there is a reward if the health value exceeds 30%, but "if" it drops, both you and I will be punished. Please confirm whether to continue! ]

【Punishment? ? 】

Hearing this, Feng Xiyao frowned and hesitated for a while, but then thought that he would have died long ago, and it was already a great opportunity to have this opportunity. If he lost, he would only be punished, but if he won, he would become rich and powerful.

Thinking of this, she nodded [Confirmed!]

After Feng Xiyao said these two words, her eyes brightened, and then she fainted again.

…

Seeing that Feng Xiyao had not woken up, Mo Cangyan asked the imperial physician with a cold face: "What happened to the queen? Why hasn't she woken up yet?"

The imperial physician touched Feng Xiyao's cold forehead, his eyes evasive.

"Your Majesty... The Queen has caught a cold due to the cold air entering her body. If the cold air is not forced out of her body, I'm afraid she won't live for more than a few days!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Cangyan helped Feng Xiyao up, picked up the medicine bowl on the table, took a sip, then pinched her chin and poured the medicine into her mouth.

When the other people in the room saw this, they all lowered their heads.

A few days passed like this, and Feng Xiyao was still unconscious. The Queen Mother found out and checked on her several times. She realized that it was Concubine Li who pushed her down, and she was furious.

Lin Baoning was under house arrest by Mo Cangyan that day. When he saw the Queen Mother finally came to see him, he immediately cried and complained about his grievances.

"Aunt, I really didn't mean to do that. I didn't think she would fall."

The Queen Mother fiercely waved her hand away: "Have you ever thought about it? Have you ever thought that the Queen would fall in? You don't know how deep the pond is and how cold the water is. It's so cold, how much do you hate the Queen!"

"I thought you were arrogant but not a bad person. I never expected that!"

Concubine Li shook her head and said, "Aunt, I really know I was wrong. Please ask my cousin to help me and ask him not to blame me!"

The Queen Mother sighed bitterly.

"You were at fault first. I can't help you. Just stay in your bedroom and reflect on your mistakes!"

Several days passed, but Feng Xiyao still didn't wake up. Her breathing became weaker and weaker, and her face was so pale that there was not a trace of blood. Mo Cangyan's deep eyes darkened and he carried her to the Purple Gold Palace.

"No one can come in without my order!"

Having said that, he carried Feng Xiyao directly into the hot spring in the side hall and put her in. Then he took off his clothes and hugged the naked Feng Xiyao from behind.
