Chapter 17 Jin Ling 17
"...No need for formalities." Li Yi looked at her bowing her head to greet him and never looking up at him, feeling very uncomfortable.
He wanted to see her the next day after he came back, but things kept coming up one after another. When he finally finished dealing with everything and went to look for her, she was no longer there.
Li Yi was so distracted that she didn't say anything for a long time. Seeing that the two of them were silent, Eunuch Bao quickly signaled Jin Ling with his eyes to say something.
Jin Ling knew that no one in the palace knew the relationship between her and the emperor, and Eunuch Bao was afraid that she would be punished.
But this time she definitely couldn't speak first, so she just pretended not to see and kept her mouth shut like a clam.
Finally, Li Yi came to her senses and spoke first: "Jin Ling, how have you been these days?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Jin Ling is doing well."
Li Yi: ...
Li Yi: "You...don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Jin Ling shook her head and simply stopped talking.
A long silence once again spread around the two of them, and now even Eunuch Bao next to them felt that something was wrong.
"If your majesty has nothing else to do, please excuse Jin Ling. The Shang Gong Bureau still has matters waiting for Jin Ling to handle."
Seeing that his beloved was about to run away again if he didn't speak up, Li Yi didn't care about the others present and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Jin Ling's sleeve: "I have something to do!"
Jin Ling half-stepped back, just enough to avoid his outstretched hand. She stood there straight, waiting for the emperor's words.
It is now late autumn, and the pavilion is surrounded by water. The already biting west wind brings with it moisture, adding a biting chill.
Jin Ling's light pink palace dress was already thin, and she shivered when the sudden wind blew, and she became impatient waiting.
"Is Sanhao okay in the torture chamber?" He hesitated for a while, then carefully chose a less abrupt question.
"Sanhao was wrongly accused and serving her sentence in a torture chamber is certainly not a good thing. But thankfully, she is optimistic and accepting of her fate. I visited her today and saw that she was in good spirits and is currently fine."
Sure enough, as soon as the three good words were mentioned, Jin Ling immediately started talking nonstop.
Li Yi felt uncomfortable, but it was natural for Jin Ling to care about her sisters, and she felt that she was being too narrow-minded.
In short, as long as the other party is willing to speak up, that's fine.
Li Yi comforted herself in this way, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was finally willing to look at her straight in the eye.
"Sanhao has always been like this. You can rest assured, Jinling. My mother and I will not let innocent people suffer in vain. Don't worry."
Seeing him staring at her nervously, Jin Ling smiled back at him, "With your Majesty's words, I can rest assured."
"Actually, I came here today to ask you, what happened back then..."
"It was my fault for being so bold and rude. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Jin Ling knelt down in front of him, not wanting him to tell her about their agreement that day.
Li Yi didn't expect her to be so resolute, and he stood there in a daze for a moment. However, Jin Ling didn't intend to let him react. She kowtowed and turned around and left.
"At this moment, you are not afraid of my blame anymore..." Li Yi silently watched her back as she walked away, holding the bell tightly in his hand, as if he was venting his anger, or as if...
Trying hard to retain something.
We share the hardships without regrets, but we are unwilling to share the joys. Jin Ling, what do you want...
[Of course I want to be the queen.] Jin Ling interrupted a certain Tong who was crying and wailing in her mind. She was so annoyed by the noise that she felt like she was going to have a headache.
"Then why didn't you let him finish? Li Yi definitely wanted to confess his feelings to you just now, absolutely! Ahhhhh, after seventeen years, he finally got to the point of completing his mission, why did you interrupt him?!"
System N1 is going crazy. Seventeen years, seventeen years, and there's still no mainline. If I tell other systems about it, they won't believe it. Woohoo~
[It won't be long, at most a month, before Wan Baoxian makes her debut. She will definitely enter the palace.] Jin Ling, overwhelmed by the wind, hurriedly quickened her pace.
Actually, "The Palace's Plan" is a very easy world. With my status, as long as I follow the plot and don't commit suicide, I can protect my first child and wait for Ma Yuanwei to die. Even if I have to endure it, I can still become the queen.
Jin Ling's words made the system even more confused. "Yes, then why does the host keep avoiding Li Yi?"
The bright and elegant woman laughed suddenly, as if she had thought of a joke. "What a stupid system! You sent me this mission yourself, and you didn't even read it carefully?"
[The main quest is to become a queen, but the ratings for this are strictly categorized. Status, actual power, influence on future generations, etc., all affect the score.]
[In other words, if I just became a queen who treated Li Yi with respect, I could certainly complete the mission. But I'd probably only get a B in the rating, let alone those rare achievements.]
Jin Ling once planned to give up like this until she discovered that the Queen System had more than a dozen achievements.
Damn, this system is for stamp collectors, come uninvited!
Moreover, this world is so easy, it's obviously a newbie's bonus. If Li Yi doesn't take advantage of her innocent time to grind for more achievements, is she really expecting the fat orange and scumbag dragon from "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Legend of Ru Mou" to give her [Mother of the World], [Agreement for a Long Life], or [Flying Together]?
What's more, as the saying goes, what you can't get will always cause you unrest.
Jin Ling calmed the anxious system, then thanked the lady who delivered the message and turned to walk into Ruan Sizhen's room.
"Ruan Sizhen, are you looking for me?"
