Inside the palace, only Feng Guang and Qian Qiu remained. As soon as Gu Yan left, Feng Guang bit her lip, trying hard not to cry out.
Qian Qiu grabbed her chin, his eyes dark. Just when Feng Guang thought he was going to do something to her, Qian Qiu suddenly released her, and Feng Guang fell to the ground.
"Listen up, all of you!" Qian Qiu ordered his subordinates, "His Majesty is unwell and cannot leave his palace. Everyone, keep a close watch and do not let any unauthorized persons enter to disturb His Majesty's peace."
The others bowed their heads and said, "Yes!"
Qian Qiu walked out of the palace with a cold face, and now Feng Guang was the only one left.
She sat on the ground, thankful that Qian Qiu hadn't done anything to her, while hugging her knees and sobbing as she asked, "System, the script you gave me... didn't... didn't mention any scenes of a power struggle..."
The system coldly replied, "The script didn't say that Gu Yan would fall in love with Xia Fengguang."
It was because she came that everything changed.
Feng Guang, looking sickly, said, "Can the butterfly effect really be that big? Ever since the last world, all the plots have gone seriously off track..."
The thought of Xue Ran filled her with a terrifying sense of being unable to control the future, especially now that her God's Eye was essentially useless.
"As I said, please make your own decisions when completing the task."
It's similar to seeing an advertisement for something on TV, where there's a big sign in the corner saying "The actual product shall prevail."
"System... how can I save Gu Yan? I don't want him to die." It wasn't because he was the one being pursued, but because she genuinely didn't want him to die. "He stabbed himself twice for me... I think... I like him..."
Because she was spurred on by her failed mission in the previous world, and because she was fearless after her points were reset to zero, she has always lived a carefree life in this world. Even when she wanted to win over Gu Yan, she adopted the simplest and most direct method, which was to tease him from time to time and say many bold and explicit things. But if we're talking about truly falling in love, that's probably now.
After hearing her words, the system remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "He'll be alright."
Feng Guang raised his eyes and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
But the system was no longer going to answer her.
She felt a little sad. Other people had systems that allowed them to use cheat codes at will and torment the male and female protagonists. But for her, even if she wanted to ask a question, she had to wait until the system was in a good mood. Its aloofness made her feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
Feng Guang was confined to her palace for more than half a month. During this time, she was still served by others, but the maids and eunuchs serving her were all replaced. Of course, she had not seen them. Even if she wanted to ask someone how Gu Yan was doing, no one answered her.
The more carefree she was as an empress, the more repressed she is now.
A bewitching eunuch put down his meal, and after feeling that same gaze fixed on him as before, he asked, "Why does Your Majesty look at me like that?"
Feng Guang paused, biting her chopsticks, not expecting him to suddenly speak to her. "I feel...you look familiar."
She felt like she'd seen him somewhere before; it was a question she'd been pondering for days.
"My name is Su Bi."
"Oh...it's probably just a coincidence of names." She picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
“It is Su Bi, who once met His Majesty.” He said, “At that time, I was standing next to Young Master Lan.”
"Cough cough!" She choked and took a sip of water before recovering. "You're saying you're that Su Bi!?"
