The word "warning" sent a jolt through Gu Jiangli's heart.
She had a vague feeling that something was going on, but she still patiently said, "Zizai, explain yourself clearly. What are you warning me about?"
[Dear, I reminded you a long time ago that you must stay true to yourself, don't forget your mission, and don't forget who you are.]
"I haven't forgotten. My duty is to ensure the emperor has an heir. Where have I failed in fulfilling that task?"
The system seemed to pause for a moment to think, then spoke from another angle:
【Honey, have you ever wondered why the system chose you to be the one to carry out the task?】
Gu Jiangli said without hesitation:
"Because if I don't come, these worlds will collapse because important figures have no offspring."
"I've come to save the world, so you'll save my life."
"What? You have doubts about this too?"
Gu Jiangli hadn't forgotten how she got involved in this childbirth system.
She suffered a stroke and is now in a vegetative state, lying in bed.
Logically speaking, her life had already ended.
She was able to wake up from her vegetative state and prolong her life only by completing tasks in these worlds.
She didn't understand what the system meant by saying that at this moment.
[Dear user, your contributions were indeed indispensable in the continuation of the previous two worlds, but what you should really be thinking about is why the system "just happened" to choose you.]
Gu Jiangli remained silent at this moment.
As if reading from a script, Zizai continued:
Gu Jiangli entered the entertainment industry at the age of 3. By the time she suffered a cerebral infarction, she had participated in 146 film and television works, experiencing the lives of 146 different characters, and winning countless awards.
No one your age can match your achievements.
It's fair to say that you spend a large part of your life experiencing other people's lives.
Those hundreds of different lives, the love, family, and friendships experienced with different people, have combined to form who you are today.
[The system has determined that, as one of the representative figures of the "performance school" in the acting world, you are capable of maintaining your true self despite experiencing various men's endless expressions of love for you.]
You should treat these worlds as scripts in a performance, rather than participating in them with genuine emotions.
Gu Jiangli suddenly realized.
She understood everything.
The system did not select her by random selection, but rather based on her experience and her abilities.
From the system's perspective, an actor who has experienced hundreds of lives can remain unmoved when faced with advances from different men.
After Gu Jiangli understood all this, she let out a cold laugh in her own mental world.
"I understand. In the system's eyes, I am someone who will not indulge in romantic love. I should focus on being an 'actor' and complete the mission with peace of mind."
Shouldn't it be like this?
It's rare for Zizai to ask such a question.
All the worlds around you are illusions; only the world you inhabit is real.
You may have noticed that as you've journeyed through different worlds, your partner's love for you has only grown stronger with each new experience.
If you truly become infatuated with this emperor and fall for him, how can you focus on completing your mission in the next world?
This is absolutely not allowed by the system.
If I were to fall for someone...
The system will then intervene as a warning.
"What kind of warning is this? I'm about to die!"
Gu Jiangli was getting anxious.
But the system showed no sign of being anxious at all.
You won't wake up until they discover you've changed your mind. Therefore, I advise you to wake up as soon as possible.
This system can read people's minds.
What she was thinking could not escape the system's detection.
All the system did was to make her retract her feelings for the emperor.
Complete the task with peace of mind, without harboring any genuine emotions.
Gu Jiangli was somewhat annoyed.
"Zizai, if I don't wake up, they're going to treat me like a corpse! Is that what you want to see?"
The system remained indifferent, saying:
If you actually die in this world, then this mission will be considered a failure, and Zizai will forcibly send you back to your original world.
Gu Jiangli gritted his teeth inwardly.
In other words, she can no longer complete the mission; the lifespan she had previously earned was all she had left.
No wonder the system is so fearless!
[Dear user, we have sensed your resentment. Until you change your mind, the system will lock your consciousness within your body.]
[Zizai hopes to wait until the day you truly regain consciousness, before your physical body completely dies.]
As soon as Zizai finished speaking, Gu Jiangli suddenly seemed to have an out-of-body experience, and she had an empty body floating in the room.
This is what it feels like to have your consciousness imprisoned.
She could see the scene around her and hear their conversation.
But his own body was completely immobile and unable to react in the slightest.
The Empress Dowager stood by her bedside, covering her face and weeping.
Several imperial physicians surrounded her, their faces extremely grave.
"Your Majesty, we have done our best. Consort Gu is indeed beyond saving. Please allow us to save the child," a royal physician said, wiping the sweat from his brow.
“Yes, Your Majesty, there’s no way to save Consort Gu. The child’s strong will to live proves that he wants to live,” another imperial physician said.
Several imperial physicians took turns trying to persuade him.
The grieving Empress Dowager also showed hesitation.
She clenched her fists, still persistently asking, "Is there really no other way? Is Consort Gu truly beyond saving? Please think of another way..."
Several imperial physicians sighed and shook their heads in unison, "It's really no use, Your Majesty. Even if we summon all the doctors in the capital to the palace now, we still can't save Consort Gu's life."
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, turned halfway around, and dared not look at Gu Jiangli, who was lying unconscious on the bed.
She struggled internally for a long time, but finally said:
"Then... let's save the child..."
The imperial physicians breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Yes."
Only after receiving the Empress Dowager's order did they dare to induce labor and bring the child into the world ahead of schedule.
If the emperor were to punish them again, at least the Empress Dowager would be there to protect them.
Their expressions were resolute and extremely serious.
The Empress Dowager swayed and staggered back to a chair, where she sat down weakly.
She couldn't imagine how she would face the emperor afterward.
He loved Consort Gu so much...
He would rather lose his child than let Consort Gu go...
"Child, please don't blame me... The child is too important to the emperor; he truly cannot lose another child..."
"I believe you will understand..."
The Empress Dowager covered her face with a handkerchief, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably as she wept.
