Chapter Twelve Gu Congxin
"Tell me, what did you discover yesterday?" Gu Yanjing set up a barrier and sat in front of the mirror to look at the marks on his neck.
"Your Majesty, wasn't I carried away by a palace maid yesterday? I discovered she's a time traveler, and she looks exactly like the female lead!" The system nervously ran to Gu Yanjing's side.
"Oh, how do you know she's from another time? Did she sing 'Thunderclap' for you?" Gu Yanjing tugged at his collar, his brows furrowed, his whole body radiating gloom.
It's still damn bad.
Looks like he deserves another beating.
Lu Lingjun: No, I didn't, I just couldn't control myself.
"**, she said it herself. She asked me if I had also transmigrated." The system held back before giving His Majesty a segment.
"So you exposed yourself and let her find out?" Gu Yanjing smiled, his smile quite handsome.
"Ah, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I didn't mean to. I don't know why I started talking. Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please don't kill me. I am still useful, really."
Upon hearing this, the system instantly started to wail, feeling like all the feathers on its body were standing on end when it saw Gu Yan's surprised smile.
"Hmm? Then tell me, what use are you? You can't even get a poison, ha." Gu Yan lowered his head in surprise, and with a flash of inspiration, the system instantly turned back into a ball of light.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I... I can monitor that time-traveling woman, really, I can even fool her." The system hiccuped in fright, its whole body trembling with fear.
"Trying to fool her? I'll be thankful if you don't get yourself involved." Gu Yanjing found it amusing.
This silly thing, sometimes it's quite amusing to keep it around to do silly things.
"Your Majesty, you can scold me, but you can't insult my intelligence like this!" The system pouted, then couldn't help but whine.
"By the way, do you have a name?" Gu Yanjing finally understood what it meant to put one's own happiness above the sadness of others.
That's really interesting.
"Me? Well, my name is... We systems are all called System." The system was flattered by this.
“Ah, since that’s the case, I’ll give you one.” Gu Yanjing nodded.
"Really? Your Majesty is so kind. I knew Your Majesty still cared about me."
The system looked at Gu Yanjing with teary eyes and full of expectation.
"From now on, you shall be called Congxin, taking my surname, Gu Congxin." Gu Yanjing bent down, picked up the system, thought for a moment, and transformed into the shape of a black phoenix.
A cockatiel is a parrot, so it will be easier for it to start talking in the future.
"Your Majesty, are you saying I'm a coward?" The system looked at its own Majesty with its eyes still wet.
As expected, all my expectations were just that—expectations.
"Aren't you a coward?" Gu Yan asked, raising an eyebrow in surprise.
The marks on her neck, which she couldn't hide, made her look less like the Vermilion Bird and more like the alluring fox spirits of Tushan.
The Southern Vermilion Bird Emperor is renowned in the celestial realm for his magnificent appearance.
"I'm a coward, I'm a real coward." The system was captivated by Gu Yanjing's good looks and couldn't help but stare at him blankly as it nodded.
"Heh." Gu Yanjing flung his hand away, dropping the system he was holding onto the ground again.
The system let out a scream, rolled around on the ground a few times, and came to its senses. In an instant, it realized that it was probably a complete idiot.
When Gu Yanjing was having breakfast, Lu Lingjun arrived again, seemingly there specifically to have a meal with him.
"Your Majesty, how do you feel about today's meal?" Lu Lingjun placed a piece of fruit on his plate.
"It'll do." Gu Yanjing ate the fruit.
"It seems to suit His Majesty's wishes." Lu Lingjun's smile widened.
It seems the third male lead needs to be castrated soon, otherwise, if he stays in the palace too long, it won't be good if his emperor sees him one day.
