Zi Tong's pupils dilated, and the hairs on her body stood on end, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Indeed, she is a time traveler.
But she was neither a secret agent nor a miracle doctor, nor was she the daughter of an official. She had no intention of foolishly trying to win the emperor's favor and have him dismiss the harem for her.
All she wanted was to live a life of comfort and wealth in the harem through the Empress's favor.
So she recited the few ancient poems she knew by heart, hoping to win the title of talented woman for the empress and the emperor's favor.
But the Empress... never gave her the chance to be a concubine. Instead, she sent her to retrieve some fox demon core, which led to her current predicament.
After a long while, Zitong finally found her voice and tentatively asked, "You... how did you know?"
“I am also a time traveler. I saw the knife you brought to take my demon core that day. It was designed like a modern scalpel, which the ancients did not know.”
Si Jin stood with his hands behind his back, casually deceiving people: "I am a nine-tailed fox, an auspicious omen, beneficial to the country's fortune. The emperor is currently trying to please me, so why don't you cooperate with me?"
"I promise, once the Empress falls from power, I will immediately suggest to His Majesty that you be brought into the palace. What do you say?"
With her long-cherished wish finally within reach, Zi Tong was momentarily incredulous. The more beautiful something is, the more afraid she is of obtaining it.
She asked tentatively, "Why should I believe you?"
"Because the Emperor scolded the Empress for my sake last time, and because the Empress didn't care about you even after you were imprisoned for so many days." Si Jin turned her eyes and looked at Zi Tong with a hint of pity in her gaze.
"With your injuries, you won't survive more than three days if you don't cooperate with me. Are you really willing to accept this?"
"No!" Si Jin's words pierced the woman's heart with every utterance. She gritted her teeth: "I'm not reconciled. What do you want me for?"
Si Jin's eyes changed slightly, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips.
… …
Sure enough, Si Jin received good news that night.
Zitong, at the Imperial Clan Court, shouted that the Empress was seeking fame and fortune and had stolen her poems, causing a commotion that even made the Empress tense.
The entire harem was thrown into chaos.
Si Jin then sat at his desk, pen in hand, intently writing a poem.
In her mind's eye, Xiao Yao felt her brain wasn't working properly, she was exhausted, and she lay there listlessly, her tiger eyes devoid of any sparkle: [The villains in this world are quite powerful, sir. Before, it was always the big bosses who transmigrated, but this time I'm not even cannon fodder.]
【This is so difficult, the system is about to overload (︿)】
No need to overload. Si Jin said: Anyway, A Yuan is about to rebel, and we can get rid of all this trash soon. After we're done with the Empress, we can focus on playing with Zhu Yan.
As he spoke, he wrote a poem in a flowing style, then tossed it out the window. With divine power, the paper flew to the Empress's residence and scattered among the Empress's treasured collection of poems.
Satisfied, he lowered his eyes, dipped his brush in ink again, and rewrote the poem.
【My lord.】Little Yao was even more confused: 【You've become so refined that you write your own lyrics now? Why write them twice?】
To clear her name and preserve her reputation, the Empress planned to hold a banquet at Jiuhua Palace in a few days, inviting all the scholars and poets in the land to listen to her recite poetry.
Si Jin said: Let's play with her, and also... play with another person.
As he spoke, he picked up the article and walked towards the Emperor's Taiji Hall. When he saw Shao Linyuan and the old Emperor inside, his eyes turned even more wicked.
Tsk, what a chaotic scene!
