Chapter 2 Binding the Governing System
Before Bei Jingchu could complain, the emperor sneered: "What about the guard you had an affair with?"
All the guards in the palace who were not castrated were his guards.
The emperor's guard has a bright future and he has many beautiful wives and concubines at home. Who would risk being beheaded to have an affair with a young palace maid?
Concubine Ying was also panicked. The guards were the emperor's close ministers and she really couldn't bribe them.
But the young maid was smart, and immediately kowtowed loudly, saying in a loud voice: "I love him to my bones, and I will not betray him. It is up to your majesty and the master to punish me, whether to kill me or behead me."
Even Bei Jingchu, who was nestling in the emperor's arms, could feel the stagnation of the atmosphere.
"The person who bribed you promised to protect your family, right?" The emperor's voice was normal and his tone was calm, but everyone could hear the threat in it.
The little maid was so frightened that she broke out in cold sweats.
"It's a pity that I can't save her. The palace maids who caused chaos in the palace will not be executed, but it will start with me."
Bei Jingchu stretched out her little hand, raised her thumb and nodded, [As expected of the tyrant that everyone in ** fears, he is just cruel. ]
After being exposed and criticized, the emperor looked at her speechlessly, with a frown on his face.
What a heartless guy, who is he doing this for?
The little palace maid was frightened, she knew that His Majesty was serious.
The little palace maid had never seen the Emperor before. She had heard that His Majesty was cruel, but had never met him in person. This time, she realized how terrifying a tyrant can be.
Before taking the blame, she had already prepared to die, but the condition was that Concubine Ying promised her to keep her family safe and wealthy.
He also gave her some money to treat her old mother.
If her whole family was killed, what else could she hope for?
At this time she finally realized what the price would be for helping Concubine Ying deceive the Emperor and exchange the Princess.
She asked tremblingly: "If I tell you, can I protect the people in my family from death?"
The emperor showed mercy and said: "You will die alone."
But if you dare to replace his child, you will be unable to live or die, and will die in endless pain.
Concubine Ying's panicked voice came: "Shut up! Your Majesty, this palace maid gave two sets of testimonies, and what she said is simply unbelievable."
"Whether you believe it or not is up to me to decide. Let her finish her words first."
To prove her innocence, the young maid said, "I have never been pregnant. This baby is born by the master. If your majesty doesn't believe me, you can ask the imperial physician to testify for me."
Bei Jingchu listened to this drama and couldn't help complaining: [Empress Ying is really stupid. If she wanted a son, why not just say it was a dragon and phoenix twin? It would be safer and more auspicious. Oh~ look at this mess. ]
Emperor: ...Should I praise you for your intelligence?
The emperor was already beginning to have a headache; this child was too clever, and he had an easy time coming up with ideas to deceive the emperor.
If I couldn't hear her inner voice, I would definitely lie to him every time in the future.
Soon, Bei Jingchu heard the voice of the imperial physician: "This girl is indeed not pregnant."
"Princess Ying, what else do you have to say?"
She begged for mercy hesitantly: "It was all because of my momentary confusion. Please forgive me for once, considering that I gave birth to a princess and have not caused any serious trouble."
[This is so funny. What do you mean by no big disaster? I was sold to a brothel. Isn't this a big disaster? ... Oh? Did the tyrant find out? Then how was I sold? ]
The emperor was trembling with anger.
Since the little princess can make people hear their inner thoughts, it is not surprising that she can predict the future a little.
His daughter, his daughter!
She should be the most noble girl in the world, but she had to suffer all this because of the selfishness of this vicious woman.
"Come here, demote Concubine Ying to a commoner and banish her to the cold palace."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't be so cruel. The little princess has just been born and she needs a mother, Your Majesty."
Hearing that he used Bei Jingchu as a shield, the emperor became even angrier.
"I spared your life because of your contribution to childbearing. Otherwise, I would have steamed you directly."
Concubine Ying didn't dare to beg for mercy anymore, she knew that the emperor was not trying to scare her.
If she still doesn't know what's good for her, she will be tortured to death.
"Take him away."
Concubine Ying was taken away, along with the servants.
"Investigate, and all those who conspired shall be beaten to death."
Suddenly, another baby's cry was heard.
The emperor then noticed that the other protagonist of the day was almost replaced by his eldest son's baby boy.
Although he was cruel, he did not want to kill the baby.
Just as I was thinking about how to deal with it, I heard the little princess' inner voice again: [Ahhhhhh, it was this guy, he fell in love with me in a brothel, and then thought that a brothel girl was not worthy of him, so he tortured her physically and mentally in various ways. He regretted it only after the person died, and then he realized that he had taken over her identity.]
The emperor frowned. Abusing his daughter?
"Let me think about how to deal with that child." The emperor pretended to be thinking to himself, but he was actually asking Bei Jingchu.
Bei Jingchu was indeed led astray, and silently shouted in his heart: [Father, please decapitate him and make him a eunuch for me!]
"Puff——" The emperor was choked by the tea in his hand.
As expected of him, he is the one who gave birth to him. So fierce.
But what is the father emperor?
Is it the father of the emperor? Father is father, and emperor is emperor. Is there anyone who calls them both together?
He corrected Bei Jingchu: "Good boy, call me Aye."
Eunuch Jiang hesitated to speak.
Bei Jingchu was speechless: [I'm only one day old, and you want me to speak. Has your brain been stimulated and become stupid? ]
emperor:……
At this moment, a voice sounded in Bei Jingchu's mind:
[Ding, the governance system has been successfully bound. Collect points and redeem them for mall items~]
An electronic voice sounded in Bei Jingchu's mind.
Governing system?
Why tie her up?
She is just a little princess who wants to be a freeloader.
Wouldn't it be more effective to use this thing to bind a tyrant?
Despite all the complaints, Bei Jingchu still opened the mall.
The result was only two empty things: the force symbol and the intelligence symbol.
[System, what is this for?]
System: [It means literally.]
Seeing that her score was now zero, Bei Jingchu decided to find a chance to give it a try.
She flipped through the system's operation page and saw a [Menu] button and clicked it.
A page of information appears on the screen:
Behen
Identity: Emperor of the Yue Dynasty.
Age: 22
Favorability: 50
[Stare~ Newbie Mission: Uncover the hero's background and prevent Yue Dynasty from falling into the hands of outsiders. Time limit: six months. Points: 100]
The male protagonist, the child that Concubine Li was carrying, was born a few hours later than her.
The funny thing is, he is not the tyrant's child, but the son of Concubine Li and another man.
Bei Jingchu's ambition and vigor were extinguished by the cold water pouring down on her head.
[What! Six months? I still can’t speak in six months, what can I do? The hero’s identity was not exposed until the end of the story, and I did it in six months, are you sure this is something a human can do?]
