System No. 2321 had been through many battles and quickly regained its composure.
It said, "I thought you had gone back a long time ago."
System 2321 needs to manage hundreds of worlds at the same time.
Therefore, it did not pay special attention to individuals like Wu Qing whose original values were relatively low.
It was not until it detected the faintest signs of life in this world that it realized that Wu Qing was still lingering here.
"Honestly, it's not my fault."
Wu Qing replied weakly: "I can't die, what can I do? Every time I call you, you're not there."
Lu Changzai, who was standing by, was confused and asked, "Who are you talking to?"
Wu Qing said: "An incompetent tour guide who just dropped me off at my destination and left."
The system said helplessly: "...Host, you can talk to me directly in your mind, don't expose my existence."
Upon hearing this, Wu Qing let out a soft "oh".
She turned to Lu Changzai and said solemnly and mysteriously: "The tour guide specifically told me not to tell this secret to anyone, otherwise it would expose its existence."
system:"……"
Does this host have an IQ problem, or is he simply being sarcastic?
Lu Changzai looked at her expression. Although he was a little confused, he still chose to understand and tolerate her.
——The little sister’s hysteria may have come back again.
She sighed, then said gently: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Come, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."
Wu Qing took the teacup handed to her by Lu Changzai with a smile and continued to communicate with the system in her mind.
A voice without any emotion sounded in her mind.
System: "The mortality rate of palace fighting stories is five percentage points higher than that of house fighting stories. It is almost not difficult to die in the plot."
"Given the physical and intelligence values you imported earlier, I have every reason to suspect that you are slacking off."
[How is that possible? I really want to go home!] Wu Qing protested.
The protest is invalid.
The system responded with a cold and mechanical voice: "If you stay in the time and space of the book for your own reasons, I will not be responsible."
[You brought me into this world on your own initiative, and now you blame me for not working hard enough to get home? ]
Wu Qing sneered: [Your system is very powerful, why don't you check the surveillance to see if I am slacking off. ]
The system was not swayed by her provocation.
It stated calmly: "No need to review the surveillance video. Next, System 2321 will conduct a routine questioning of you."
"Everything you say will be recorded in detail and stored in the information center for later reference."
"Your requirement to go home is to die at the hands of the main character of the plot."
The system asked: "At present, the queen is still the master of the harem. Have you tried to offend the queen?"
Wu Qing nodded: [I scolded her for being old and ugly, and even disrespectfully expressed my desire to sit on the phoenix chair.]
The system replied without denying, "However, the background data shows that the Queen's favorability towards you is as high as 78."
Wu Qing shrugged: [Maybe I’m just so likable. ]
System: "Okay, continue asking questions. Have you ever tried to offend the imperial concubine?"
"The concubine in this book is cruel and will not let any character go."
Wu Qing cracked her fingers: [Of course. I used her as a prototype and drew pig heads and pornographic pictures.]
The system responded coldly: "It's no use for you to lie to me. The Imperial Concubine's favorability towards you is higher than that of the Queen, at 85, which has achieved the achievement of 'deep affection'."
[Wow, are there any other achievements besides 'Deep Love'?] Wu Qing was curious.
The system replied: "If the favorability exceeds 90, the achievement of 'Grow Old Together' will be unlocked, and if it exceeds 95, the achievement of 'Life and Death Together' will be unlocked."
【What the hell! 】
System: "…What are you surprised about?"
Wu Qing was shocked: [Doesn't that mean I will soon grow old with the imperial concubine? ]
System: “…This is just the name of the achievement. It does not mean it will actually happen in the future.”
The system commented: "The host is very confident in his own personal charm."
[It’s much better than your system that disappeared for two whole months and started questioning this and that as soon as it came back.] Wu Qing smiled.
System: "One last question."
System: "In this world, the emperor holds the power of life and death, and a single word can determine the fate of the world. According to background data, the mortality rate of hosts who are enemies of the emperor in the same series of worlds is as high as 98%."
"Host, have you never offended the emperor?"
[Of course I have stabbed him.] Wu Qing rolled his eyes.
"If the host really did this," the system said coldly, "the host would have returned home long ago."
Wu Qing was angry: [Do you know that this emperor is blessed by the plot? He is the son of destiny with great fortune? ]
[I held a sharp sword and hacked at him for a whole night, but what happened? I didn't even touch the corner of his clothes, let alone hurt him.]
[The emperor thought I was joking with him and played tricks on me all night. In the end, he even laughed at my poor swordsmanship.]
The system responded calmly: "This is impossible. As far as I know, this emperor has no martial arts skills."
Wu Qing was impatient: [I told you to check the surveillance. You will know once you see it.]
[You said my physical strength and intelligence are pitifully low. ]
[Then why don’t you think about it, with my poor basic conditions, even if I lie in bed all day and do nothing, I should have died a long time ago. ]
[Now I can't go back, something must have gone wrong. ]
The system was silent for a while, as if thinking about something.
Three seconds later, it said, "...I understand. I will go and request the advanced system to retrieve the surveillance footage."
After saying that, the system left quietly.
Wu Qing, who had won the battle against the system, shook his body happily.
As the system was withdrawn, the invisible sense of restraint also disappeared. Wu Qing's voice once again flowed like a spring, clearly reaching the ears of the queen, the imperial concubine and others.
The Queen, the Imperial Concubine and others were relieved.
They were still wondering why Concubine Ji was so calm today, with no ripples in her heart at all?
Wu Qing, who was sitting below, simply relaxed, supporting his chin with both hands, and was no longer so reserved.
Anyway, it would take some time for the system to retrieve the surveillance footage. She decided to concentrate on listening to the conversation in the main hall to see how the queen would talk about today's business.
The basic greeting procedures have been completed on the field.
The queen on the main seat narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "You all know that last night, someone dared to sneak into Kunning Palace and intended to cast a curse on Concubine Ji."
When the concubines heard this, they were all shocked and gasped.
The art of killing curse is the most vicious curse.
It is necessary to know the target's horoscope, collect the blood of many people as sacrifices and pour it into the incense ash before it can be carried out. Its evil level is enough to make people shudder.
The Queen continued, "Luckily, Lady Ji was blessed with great fortune. Not only was she unharmed, but she also subdued the person who cast the spell on the spot."
"The Emperor bestowed the name 'Ji' on Lady Ji, which was truly God's will. I would like to advise some people to give up on this idea."
There was a hint of warning in the Queen's words.
"Come here, bring the person up."
Xiao Luzi and another eunuch moved upon hearing the noise.
The two men walked through the heavy curtains and soon entered the hall, escorting a palace maid with disheveled hair.
In just one hour, Zhitao had changed.
Her hair was disheveled on her shoulders, her face was covered with tears and dust, and a pair of shackles hung on her trembling hands.
