System: ...In the middle of the night, I thought you were sexually frustrated!
Sherry: That's true, I'm perfectly developed, it's normal to have such thoughts! I really want to hook up with a well-built outlaw!
System: ...You can't say it out loud, you have to hint at it!
Sherry: Ha! You don't even have a man, so why would I give you a hint?
System: I crashed! Hmph!
Shirley was afraid that her close dowry servants would notice something was wrong, so she pretended to be in a bad mood and stayed alone these past few days!
The servants looked at each other in bewilderment.
Emperor Kangxi, on the other end, received the message from Chengqian Palace, but remained expressionless.
The servants who were serving were trembling with fear and remained quiet.
Later, Emperor Kangxi went to bed as usual, but in the middle of the night he still got up and smashed a batch of porcelain.
He remembered his cousin once pulling him aside, her eyes red and brimming with tears, and saying, "He's her cousin, all of him!"
Kangxi gently coaxed her. He knew that the Tong family wanted a prince and had even used her half-sister to pressure her...
But why did she agree this time?
Ignoring the complicated emotions of those around her, Sherry had received good news!
That night, the little girl from that day came in quietly.
"Master, he said he needs to think about what to do!"
"Um!"
Sherry was overjoyed. What she gave to that shamanic successor was an array. Shamans respect and revere nature, so they can sense the five elements of energy!
And that's what Sherry gave as a gift.
What's useless to her is a treasure to them!
Sherry is in a great mood, enjoying all sorts of desserts!
That night, Sherry took a pill!
She studied it by analogy, as it involved controlling the pulse of a world's spirit.
I never expected to need it here!
Sherry is in good health, but her pulse is weak!
Sydney seized the opportunity to eat a few good meals and then lay down, after all, a patient can't eat much.
Shirley looked at the bubbling pot and swallowed hard.
He kept comforting himself: the better days are yet to come, once I leave the palace I can eat...
Sherry didn't want to wait any longer.
Four or five days later, when Emperor Kangxi was showering his favors on everyone, the Chengqian Palace suddenly summoned the imperial physician!
Kangxi stared at Liang Jiugong with a serious expression, while Liang Jiugong went out to arrange for someone to inquire.
The old doctor looked terrified as he took her pulse.
How could the Imperial Concubine have become so weak and frail? Could it be that the Emperor is truly bringing misfortune upon his relatives?
The old imperial physician turned deathly pale, and the servant from the Qianqing Palace who had been inquiring about the news quickly returned with a reply.
When Kangxi received the news, he was incredulous. Seeing the eunuch nodding vigorously, he dropped his pen to the ground.
Emperor Kangxi rushed to Chengqian Palace in a great hurry, and ink stains could be faintly seen on his sleeves.
Sherry blocked the way with screens and curtains, layer upon layer!
"Cousin..." Kangxi's voice trembled.
"Ahem~ The Emperor is here!" Shirley's voice was soft and gentle.
"Cousin, let me see you!" Kangxi said, his eyes slightly red.
"Farewell... cough... Your Majesty... cough... I am ill and should not see anyone!" Shirley refused decisively.
She didn't refuse because she was afraid you'd see her rounder face. Of course, just in case, Shirley painted herself deathly white!
"Cousin! How did you serve her?!" Emperor Kangxi roared in fury!
"..." Inside and outside the house, everyone was kneeling on the ground. Shirley looked at Kang Mazi's anxious face.
System: What? Feeling sorry for them?
Sherry: No, I think this expression is good, I can learn it!
System: ...Great Demon, you're really amazing!
Sherry: Sigh, just average, just average!
The system went silent, and Sherry watched everyone's expressions like she was watching a show.
Okay, let's decide who to take with us!
"How could he suddenly fall ill when he was perfectly healthy?" Emperor Kangxi was almost hysterical.
"Your servant... Her Highness the Imperial Concubine has been unwell for half a month, but she has been feeling uneasy for some time, which may lead to illness. Your servant—" The old imperial physician was sweating profusely.
Except for a section of her fair wrist showing, Sherry was entirely inside the tent.
Kangxi was like a trapped beast, wanting to hug Xue Li but being rejected and unable to do anything.
"Do everything you can to save him, or you'll lose your heads!" Kangxi looked at the head of the Imperial Medical Academy below with a grim expression.
The old doctor was trembling with fear!
"Cough~ Cousin~ Cough cough~ Don't take it out on them~ Cough~ My own body~ Cough~ I know my own body!"
Sherry has made up her mind: she'll take plenty of silver notes with her when she leaves!
"Moon..." Emperor Kangxi brought in the memorials and began reviewing them in Chengqian Palace.
Was Sherry moved? She didn't dare to move an inch!
Sherry looked constipated. She had a whole bunch of fruit, snacks, and jerky stored up. Goodness, what are you doing here?
System message: This cousin of yours does have some genuine feelings for you!
Sherry: Come on, I'm really going to starve to death! What a waste of all the spicy strips and braised dishes I researched!
A certain system: ……(￢_￢)
Sherry: How about you monitor me and I go into the secret realm to eat by myself?
A certain system: Look at the haggard emperor, don't you feel sorry for him?!
Sherry: Are you kidding me? I feel sorry for him because I'm too happy?
System: ...Sigh, fine, I'll keep watch while you sneak the food!
Sherry: Hmm, from now on it'll be real stealing food. How many should I raise?
Sherry entered the secret realm while lost in thought, feeling quite pleased with herself.
The system almost crashed!
Emperor Kangxi suddenly looked up and glanced in this direction, then lowered his head again to begin reviewing the memorials.
System: You scared the crap out of me, you monster!
After a while, the system called for Sherry to take her medicine!
When Shirley came out, she was greeted by Emperor Kangxi holding a bowl and offering it to her.
"Dalang? He took his medicine?" Shirley blurted out!
Kangxi: ⊙▽⊙
System: Holy crap!
Sherry was so embarrassed she almost bit her tongue, and quickly took the medicine.
Sherry smelled it and thought, "Hmm, it's nourishing and strengthens the body."
Emperor Kangxi suddenly smiled and said, "Cousin, I remember when we were young, you loved to discuss those acrobatic performances and operas with me!"
Sherry: ⊙▽⊙
"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, cousin, you said you would stay with me for the rest of your life!" Kangxi's eyes were a little moist.
Sherry didn't want to talk; she was afraid of coughing up the smell of braised pork.
"Cousin, you'll get better, right?!" Kangxi asked expectantly.
Sherry, Sherry turned over and fell asleep!
After waiting for a while, Kangxi quietly lifted the curtain and saw a thin, frail figure.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has been sleeping a lot lately!" A plain-looking maid appeared out of nowhere.
Kangxi was stunned for a moment before putting it down.
As he reviewed the memorials, he couldn't help but recall how he had hurt his cousin's feelings for the sake of a servant, how he had distrusted her, and even how she had found out that he had prevented her from getting pregnant...
Kangxi suddenly felt unsure how to face the situation and strode out of the palace gate!
But after taking a few steps, he remembered that he was struggling with how to face her that day, so he kept putting it off day after day, which caused his cousin to develop health problems!
Kangxi closed his eyes tightly!
"My lord, the masters invited from the common people have all entered the palace! Where should we go first?" Liang Jiugong asked.
