Chengqian Palace
Yunyi was about four months pregnant at this time, and her originally flat belly was gradually showing a curve.
Her complexion was rosy and her body was well-proportioned. She hadn't changed much because of her pregnancy; she just seemed to have an extra, subtle maternal glow.
She was leaning against a soft pillow, holding a bowl of longan and red date soup, eating it spoonful by spoonful.
Qingzhu knelt by the footstool and gently massaged Yunyi's legs to prevent swelling.
After finishing her meal, Yunyi put down her bowl, took the handkerchief handed to her by a palace maid, elegantly wiped her mouth, picked up a book, and began to read.
On the surface, she appeared to be reading a book, but in reality, she was talking to the system Xiao Qi in her mind.
Xiaoqi, what do you think of the Empress? What's your impression of her?
System Xiaoqi didn't quite understand why the host was asking it this question.
After thinking about it, it truthfully gave its opinion.
Empress Niohuru Shuxian was as her name suggested: virtuous, gentle, and just.
She managed the harem impartially and treated the concubines, princes, palace maids, and eunuchs in the harem very well, making her a rare virtuous empress.
Yunyi agreed with Xiaoqi's words.
Yes, the Empress is indeed a very good person. Facing so many concubines in the harem, and so many people who share husbands with her, she is not jealous at all, and she takes good care of me when I am pregnant.
Having her as empress is a blessing for all the concubines in the harem.
But... recalling the scene she had just witnessed in Kunning Palace, Yunyi sighed softly.
Host, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly ask about the Empress and then sigh?
Xiaoqi was puzzled by the host's behavior. As an intelligent system, it still couldn't truly understand human thoughts.
In response to the system's curious inquiry, Yunyi explained it.
Xiao Qi, today when I went to Kunning Palace to pay my respects, the Empress's face was getting paler and paler. Even though she had applied a thick layer of rouge, I could still tell that her complexion was very bad.
Her poor spirits and emaciated figure all indicated that the Empress was not in good health.
At this point, Yunyi paused... Moreover, if I remember correctly.
Empress Xiaozhaoren, the second empress of Emperor Kangxi, died within a year of becoming empress.
Niohuru became empress last year, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will likely become empress this year...
Faced with the news that such a young woman, barely twenty years old, was about to die, Yunyi felt a mix of emotions.
She asked in a low, leisurely tone.
Xiaoqi, does the system shop have any medicine that can save her life? I... I want to save her.
In fact, the idea of saving the Empress had been in Yunyi's mind for a long time, and seeing the Empress again today made the idea sway violently in Yunyi's heart.
Even disregarding the fact that she was from the 21st century, the Empress herself is a remarkable figure.
Xiao Qi was deeply moved when she heard her host say that.
Host, I never expected you to have such thoughts.
What, it's not allowed? Yunyi's heart skipped a beat.
"Okay, okay, I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect you to think that way." Xiao Qi quickly explained, afraid that the host might misunderstand.
Then he said, "Look, the mall has Great Rejuvenation Pills."
Under the control of System Xiaoqi, a light screen appeared in front of Yunyi, which was the page of the system's store.
Great Rejuvenation Pill: Priced at 50 points, it can save critically ill/injured patients (as long as you have a breath left, I can save you; no matter what your illness is, I can save you). One Great Rejuvenation Pill restores your health and lets you say goodbye to death. However, please note that this product is a medicine for healing injuries and diseases, not a remedy for bringing the dead back to life. Those who are already dead, and those with severe external injuries, are not within the scope of this product's treatment…
What follows is a series of examples illustrating which conditions can be treated and which cannot.
After a cursory glance, I was taken aback by the simplistic and blunt description.
Yun Yi sighed, feeling both speechless and amused. How could this system shop be so humorous?
But when she looked closely at the price, Yunyi was stunned.
The Great Rejuvenation Pill requires 50 points, but I only have 20 points right now, which is not enough at all.
After a quick thought, Yunyi turned her attention to System Xiaoqi.
Little Lamb to the Slaughter - Seven (a sudden, inexplicable sense of foreboding arises in his heart): Hmm! What is it? Don't call me, I don't know anything.
Yun Yi fanned her big eyes, her face full of sincerity and flattery, and strained her voice to produce a strained tone.
Xiaoqi~ I only have 20 points, and this Great Rejuvenation Pill costs 50 points, which I don't have enough for~ How about I buy it on credit first, and pay you back when I have enough points, okay!
Ugh! Xiaoqi was completely disgusted (°ー°〃)
The light blue ball of light instantly turned dark blue, trembled violently a few times in front of Yunyi, and then let out a startled sound.
Ahhh! Host, can you be normal for once? Don't talk to me like that, it's scary!
Yunyi was taken aback, a flock of crows flying through her mind.
Is it really that scary? Please, I'm being very serious.
If Xiaoqi heard this idea, she would definitely nod frantically. Yes, it's really scary.
When a normally serious person suddenly starts acting strangely, the system has difficulty accepting it.
Clearing her throat, Yunyi returned to normal.
Xiaoqi, please, just let me buy on credit, or you can lend me 30 points.
The small ball of light fluttered up and down, remaining silent the whole time.
Seeing this, Yunyi kept talking to Xiaoqi for a while longer.
Finally, after Yunyi's persistent efforts, Xiaoqi reluctantly agreed to her request to buy on credit.
In a flash, a small emerald green bottle appeared in Yunyi's hand.
The Great Elixir has already been given to you! Don't say anything more!
Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief, finally free from her host's nagging.
After calming herself down, Xiaoqi continued: "Host, you currently owe the system store 30 points. When you give birth to your child and the system rewards points, I will automatically deduct these points and return them to the store first."
Yunyi waved her hand to indicate that she understood.
Okay, I understand. That's the proper procedure. Just deduct it from my account later.
After putting the small bottle away, Yunyi reached out and touched the little dumpling.
Thank you so much, Xiaoqi! I really appreciate it!
As her host patted her head, Xiao Qi blushed slightly, feeling a little shy. "Hehehe, I didn't do anything!"
Amidst the pale blue light clusters, a hint of pink appeared, barely noticeable unless you looked closely.
Although it had already helped its host obtain the Great Rejuvenation Pill, Xiao Qi still had some questions, so it took this opportunity to ask them.
Host, you want to save the Queen, and it can't be just for the reasons you just mentioned. I have a feeling you have other ideas as well.
Oh! Yunyi was a little surprised. She didn't expect the system Xiaoqi to be so sensitive that it could even sense this.
