Just when Nan Zhi thought she hadn't lied to him, he suddenly curled his lips into a smile: "You admire me that much?"
Nanzhi was taken aback.
At the same time, a system notification sounded in my mind.
[Ding, host's points increased by 50, current points: 60.]
The previous 10 points were gained when Nanzhi pulled Xiao Lanchuan.
There has been no growth this month.
I didn't expect it to go up just from those few words?
So it turns out that intimacy level doesn't necessarily require physical contact.
Nanzhi suddenly understood.
She looked at Xiao Lanchuan with deep affection: "Your Majesty, you have no idea how much I suffered when I didn't see you for a month. I missed you so much that I couldn't eat or sleep."
The reason why the original owner had no appetite was because he originally had a small appetite.
I can't sleep at night because the wound is itchy.
This is perfect for fooling him.
My points have increased by another 50.
The favorability rating also increased from 2% to 5%.
Xiao Lanchuan seemed to believe him, and nodded thoughtfully: "It's really a pity for my savior. Since you pleaded for him, I will not bestow upon you the title of Noble Lady."
He then grasped her chin, his icy hand stroking her gently like a snake, dangerous yet intoxicating.
"Serve me tonight. If I am satisfied, I will keep you by my side forever."
Is that what she meant?
Xiao Lanchuan left, leaving Nanzhi alone in the room, unable to process what had happened.
Two young palace maids rushed in, showering her with flattery.
"Sister Zhizhi, my name is Daixue. The Emperor ordered Ziyan and me to come and serve you with incense and bathing."
Daixue and Ziyan pulled her up from the couch and gave her a thorough wash and cleaning.
Dai Xue said with envy, "Sister Zhizhi, you are so amazing. You used to live in Changqiu Palace, and now you live in Shangyang Palace. You are even bathing in the Emperor's private hot spring. This is an unprecedented honor."
Nanzhi looked at the huge hot spring pool in front of her, with its fluttering screens, carved dragons and painted beams, and precious jade ornaments and porcelain everywhere.
She was just a palace maid; even if she had saved him, she shouldn't have received such an honor.
What exactly does Xiao Lanchuan want to do?
Was he trying to put her on the hot seat?
After bathing, Nan Zhi carried a faint, pleasant fragrance.
Dai Xue praised, "Sister Zhizhi, you smell so good, and your figure is amazing! You're even more shapely than the Imperial Concubine."
Phrases that flatter the powerful and belittle the weak.
Nan Zhi simply smiled and said, "How dare I compare myself to the Imperial Concubine? Please don't praise me like that again."
The harem was far more dangerous than she had imagined.
A single word could cost her her life.
She didn't want to go back so soon.
Dai Xue hadn't expected her to be like this; she seemed completely different from the other nobles.
The news that Nan Zhi was to serve the emperor somehow leaked out.
She had just stepped out of the hot spring when she bumped into a strange palace maid.
The palace maid bumped into her seemingly unintentionally, apologized, and then hurriedly left.
Nanzhi watched her retreating figure, pondered for a moment, and then realized that something was wrong with her body.
