Under Zhu's control, the former officials did not cause any major disturbances; in short, they kept quiet even when they had something to say.
On the contrary, the imperial harem, as the residence of the royal family, naturally possessed a position close to the center of power.
The concubines, princes, and princesses all had their own thoughts about "Liu Xian" saving Empress Ma.
Not to mention that Empress Ma is currently in a weak state, so her control has inevitably loosened considerably. The Emperor and the Crown Prince are focused on Empress Ma and have no energy to manage the harem.
This also gave those with the will to do so an opportunity.
That morning, in the palace.
Bai Susu woke up early, her eyes fixed on the unfamiliar and luxurious bed curtains. She felt a surge of joy, thinking, "Oh, I've finally experienced wealth and luxury!"
Thinking it over, she silently prayed: "May the Willow Immortal possess boundless magical power, be invincible under heaven, and enjoy eternal bliss..."
After hibernating, Ling Xiao glanced at the scene out of boredom and cursed inwardly, "Sycophant!"
After the routine, she got up and ate dozens of dishes equivalent to a princess's ration. As soon as her buttocks touched the stool, a eunuch came over.
"You said the emperor's concubines wanted to see me."
The old eunuch who delivered the message choked, "What concubines? That's really vulgar. These village girls are indeed uncultured!"
Thinking of the rumors circulating in the palace about the person in front of him, and the fact that the Emperor hadn't paid attention to this place for a long time, the old eunuch couldn't hide the contempt in his eyes.
He sized up Bai Susu with almost unbridled lewdness, inwardly scoffed, and raised his voice:
"Young lady, please watch your words. The ladies of the palace are all extremely noble people. How can you speak nonsense like that? Now that you've entered the palace, you'd better get rid of those vulgar habits..."
He was cursing at me; it took Bai Susu a while to confirm this fact.
There's no way around it; these words are actually quite "refined" to her. You see, the insults she used to hear almost always involved "Mom."
Knowing that the old man was cursing her made things easier. Bai Susu recalled how Wang the shrew at the end of the village argued with someone.
She stood up abruptly, hands on her hips, glanced at him sideways, and retorted with imposing force:
"Pah! If they're not concubines, are they the first wives or something?"
All I know is that the emperor only had one main wife called the empress. When did he get several more empresses?!
The essence of arguing: your voice must be loud, your attitude must be unreasonable, and you must magnify any mistake someone makes.
Upon hearing this, cold sweat poured down the old eunuch's forehead. He stared at Bai Susu in horror, wishing he could gag her with his own hands.
What do you mean he has a few more empresses? If word gets out, not only will the emperor not spare him, but those concubines will tear him apart alive!
The old eunuch's lips trembled with anxiety, and he was no longer as arrogant as before. The other palace servants who were attending to Bai Susu found it amusing.
Bai Susu became even more arrogant. Liu Xian had told her that she must not let anyone bully her and embarrass her!
He tugged at the old eunuch's clothes, his face contorted with rage, and gritted his teeth as he walked out.
"Let's go, let's go! I want to see how many other empresses there are in this palace besides Empress Ma, whom Liu Xian saved. Hehe, what an eye-opener!"
The people brought by the old eunuch dared not touch him, and the others in the hall pretended to persuade him, but in reality, they subtly blocked those who wanted to save the old eunuch.
"Young lady, young lady, this old servant misspoke. Please forgive me, sir."
The old eunuch begged for mercy in a low voice, saying all sorts of nice things. He originally wanted to pick a soft persimmon, but who knew it was a venomous snake in disguise.
Just as Bai Susu opened her mouth, a mysterious voice echoed in her mind:
"Ahem, spare this eunuch for now, let him go."
"Who are you?" Er Ya's eyes widened as she looked around, but no one seemed to have heard the voice. This familiar miracle reminded her of Liu Xian.
Could it be that someone or some demon is taking advantage of Liu Xian's hibernation to harm her?
It's ridiculous. If it weren't for a certain host leaving to go into slumber and using this "disciple" as bait, forcing me to become a temporary guardian, who would care about her?
This system tolerates it!
The system perked up and casually started writing a script. "Aha!" it said. "Let's just throw together a plot about a tiger fallen into a trap, surrounded by enemies on all sides."
"I am the spirit of Liu Xian's natal magical artifact, left behind by it to protect you."
"You don't know, Liu Xian is a rare and powerful demon, a demon lord. Not only do other demons want to devour him to increase their cultivation, but also..."
Those who cultivate Taoism and Buddhism are even more eager to kill the demon and extract its demon core to refine elixirs.
"These people and demons are all extremely vicious!"
Bai Susu was so startled that her pupils dilated, her palms sweated, and she cautiously asked:
"Can Liu Xian defeat these transvestites?"
The voice paused, sighed, and subtly tinged with sadness:
"It could have been done, but he failed the tribulation and was injured. However, Liu Xian seized a sliver of hope, entered the palace to repay a debt of gratitude, and escaped death."
Poor Er Ya was completely fooled by the system's plausible story.
He continued his deception without batting an eye.
"Liu Xian values you as her disciple and fears that you might be found by those who covet her body during this time, so she left this... artifact spirit to protect you. Just listen to me."
Hahahaha, by the time the host emerges from seclusion, this elite system might already be with its underlings, having already dragged the progress bar halfway through.
They even discovered the deeper purpose behind God's arrangement of this world.
Perhaps the host will be surprised and say, "I haven't seen you for three days, but the system has changed so much!" and then gently praise him...
Lost in a beautiful fantasy, he was suddenly interrupted by Bai Susu's anxious voice:
"Spirit, I've sent the person away. Is Willow Fairy alright? And could this eunuch have been sent by those bad guys?"
