Chapter 185 The Peace Lock is Lost
On his sixth birthday, there was a small family banquet in the palace to celebrate.
On her birthday, Bei Jingchu didn't have to go to Hongwenguan to study.
The family gathered together in a lively and noisy atmosphere, and Bei Yanyu also had a day off because of her eldest sister's birthday.
The little girl was very happy. She came over and hugged Bei Jingchu's waist, and announced very proudly: "Eldest sister, the teacher said that my calligraphy is good enough and I can enter the main hall."
"Am I really awesome?"
Bei Jingchu, who didn’t quite understand why it took two years of practice to pass the exam, said: “Amazing, amazing! Xiao Yanyu is really great.”
Before lunch, the system was "upgraded" again.
[Dear, the favorability page has been increased to 80, please check.]
As I had some free time, I clicked on the page to take a look.
As soon as I entered, I found something wrong.
Where's her intelligence page?
Where is the mall?
The two most useful things are gone!
She panicked and poked the system: [System, what’s wrong with you?]
System: [Dear, this is the situation.]
[Why are the mall and intelligence gone?]
[Dear, we will deal with the problem you reported as soon as possible, please don't worry.]
Something is wrong.
It felt like when she first bound the system, it was like an artificially retarded customer service.
Later, it began to have souls. Bei Jing initially thought that it might be because they were not familiar with each other when they were tied together.
As a result, this thing has now become an artificial idiot, and its mall and intelligence are gone.
Something is wrong. What happened?
She thought back to the last time she spoke to the system and what had happened before this time, but she couldn't find any clue.
The Queen Mother saw that her face looked strange and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Bei Jingchu shook her head.
"What kind of difficulties have you encountered? Do you want your mother to help you?"
Bei Jingchu was anxious but couldn't say it.
When there is a problem with the system, no matter how powerful or high a person is, there is nothing they can do.
Bei Jingchu tried hard to smile, but she enjoyed the family dinner without enjoying the food.
But how could people who knew her not see that she was in a bad condition, not to mention her confused inner voice, and one could tell how anxious she was inside.
The Queen Mother took her hand and patted it, "I came here to congratulate you on your birthday. Since Chu'er is tired, go back and rest."
But after going back to rest, the system still hadn't recovered.
When she first came to this world, the system was tied to her.
Although it is not very smart, it has helped her a lot.
Now that it's gone, she feels like she's lost her roots, with a sense of emptiness as if her feet aren't on solid ground.
Bei Jingchu was like a headless fly, having no clue at all.
When I asked the system, it looked like an artificial idiot who had lost its soul. It just went around in circles and couldn't give any practical answers.
Just as I was worrying, Haoyue came in.
"Your Highness, a palace maid found the peace locket you left behind."
"I think the rope at the top is loose and fell down. I tied it again."
Bei Jingchu touched her waist and found that it had really fallen off.
She put the peace locket back around her waist without much care, then logged into the system again, trying to figure out any clues.
Once you enter, you will feel the surprise of having found what you have lost.
Intelligence and the mall are back.
She called out tentatively: [Tongzi?]
[Host? Is it the host?]
Before she could respond, the system's little electronic music started crying so loudly that Bei Jingchu felt a headache.
[Wuwuwuwu Host, you are finally back. It was so dark just now. I was so scared. Wuwuwuwu~]
[It suddenly became dark, and you didn’t respond when I called you.]
[Is it because I am useless that you don't want me anymore?]
[Please don't abandon me, host. I will be very good. ]
[Although I’m a bit useless, you don’t have any other system, so you can still use mine, right?]
[Or, you have found another ruler behind my back, and the new ruler is better than the old one, so you don’t want me anymore, sob~]
Bei Jingchu:......
Forget it. Seeing how stupid it is, it won’t be able to ask anything useful.
I feel like the difference in IQ between having a soul and not having a soul doesn't seem to be that big.
Alas, she still has to rely on herself.
Bei Jingchu recalled what happened when the system appeared. She didn’t do anything just now, but she just wore a peace locket?
Bei Jingchu suddenly thought of something. The peace locket was something she had never taken off since she was one month old.
so......
She took off the peace locket, put it on the table, and called the system.
The system's voice was twitching: [What, what?]
Maybe the distance is not far enough.
She walked out of the house.
[Tongzi?]
[Hello, how can I help you?]
really.
She went in and picked up the peace locket. Her head was pounding and the system's electronic music was wailing even louder.
[Wuwuwuwu host, why did it go dark again just now? Is there something wrong with me? Is my data messed up?]
Bei Jing ignored it at first, and tried it a few more times, but got the same result.
The current system is already dizzy.
[Why is there so much light flashing before my eyes...]
[I am not going to die, am I? I still feel like a baby, how come I broke down?]
[I don’t want to die, host.]
The noise was so loud that Bei Jingchu had the urge to throw the peace locket away and block it out manually.
She let out a helpless sigh and tried to comfort it: [No, no, it’s not a problem with your system data.]
[Trust me, you won't die.]
System: [I don't believe it!]
[You don’t understand the system, woo woo.]
Bei Jingchu: I’m tired, let’s destroy it.
After a long time, she came to the Star-Picking Tower again.
After the last accidental intrusion, she comes to play once in a while.
The scenery here is different from that of Taiji Palace, and it is very quiet and peaceful.
But not many came.
After all, she is very busy.
After knocking on the door, the person who opened it led her to her old place to sit.
The person didn't stay there for long before the mysterious national teacher came in.
Bei Jingchu didn't want to beat around the bush with him.
Untie the peace buckle around your waist.
"I still remember that when I first came to look for the Imperial Master, you told me to carry this peace locket with me."
"Now that I think about it, I'm really curious. Is this peace locket some kind of magical thing?"
He was still wearing a hooded cap, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly.
The voice was clear and light: "The peace lock symbolizes peace, and I naturally hope that Your Highness can be safe."
Bei Jingchu tilted her head slightly, her eyes revealing a look of doubt: "Is there really nothing strange about this?"
He stretched out his hand and Bei Jingchu put the peace locket in his hand.
The Imperial Master stretched out his other hand and pointed at the peace locket lying in the palm of his left hand.
"Your Highness, look, this white jade is transparent and flawless. Under the light of the sun and the moon, it is particularly hazy and spiritual, as if it is absorbing the essence of heaven and earth."
Indeed.
"So this is a spiritual object that absorbs the essence of heaven and earth?"
The Imperial Master slapped his thigh and said, "That's why it's expensive!"
Bei Jingchu:......
"Your Highness is celebrating his full moon, so I naturally cannot give you anything too bad, right?"
"This thing is presentable. If I give it to him, His Majesty won't think I'm just trying to please him."
"Then why did you tell me to carry it with me?"
The Imperial Master's voice was quite convincing: "If you don't wear good things, but just put them in the bottom of the box, isn't that a waste?"
"When I give someone a good thing, I naturally hope that she will wear it every day."
[This explanation is really reasonable...]
【But I don’t believe it! 】
The corners of her lips were slightly raised under her hood.
He shook the peace locket and Bei Jingchu reached out to grab it back.
"Give it back to me."
He asked: "What happened to your Highness? Was he blessed by this jade?"
"Do you think this is my work?"
Bei Jingchu did not deny it, her silence was confirmation.
The Imperial Master sighed and changed the position of his legs while sitting cross-legged.
He patted the table in front of him gently to make his words seem more sincere.
"How can I have such extraordinary abilities? Your Highness, do you think I am some kind of god or monster?"
This is crude acting, with overly exaggerated performance elements.
Bei Jingchu looked at the bony hands clasped on the table, and then thought of the rumors outside that the national teacher was an old man with gray hair.
[This person has too many secrets. He is really a wild monster, but it makes sense.]
[I have traveled through time, so it is normal for me to do something unscientific. 】
【Why not take off his hat and see who this holy man is. 】
Do it when you think of it.
She suddenly stood up and pulled his hat.
The man who looked like a weak scholar leaned back slightly and moved away.
As if he had been prepared, he was very calm.
Even though she failed, Bei Jingchu didn't feel embarrassed.
Sit back naturally, pick up the teacup and drink water.
The person on the other side also acted as if nothing had happened and leaned back.
