Ren Nuanyun was just a young girl before, who had never been in a relationship or been pregnant. This was the first time she had experienced something like this.
Chunxin brazenly pushed open the door and saw Ren Nuanyun sitting on the bed with a dejected expression, her demeanor devoid of any respect. She spoke sarcastically, "Princess Mingxiu, what's wrong with you again? Who's offended you this time?"
When Ren Nuanyun saw Chunxin enter, she immediately composed herself and sat up straight. "What's wrong? What do you want to see me about?"
"It's nothing, I just came in to sit for a while. You can't really treat me like some kind of maid, having me stay outside all day doing things for you, can you?"
Chunxin not only sat in Ren Nuanyun's seat without any hesitation, but also poured herself a cup of tea using Ren Nuanyun's usual tea set. While drinking the exquisite tea, she picked up some washed grapes from the side and ate them herself.
If someone who didn't know better saw this, they might think that Chunxin was the owner of this room.
Watching Chunxin's series of actions, Ren Nuanyun was so angry that her teeth itched, but she couldn't say anything, couldn't find a way to kill her, and couldn't punish her arbitrarily.
Ren Nuanyun had never felt so disgusted before. She would find a way to get rid of this arrogant Chunxin and make sure the Crown Prince couldn't say anything.
"I wouldn't dare. You were sent by the Crown Prince. How could I, a princess, dare to order you around?" Ren Nuanyun glanced at Chunxin with disdain.
He was just a lowly bodyguard sent by the Crown Prince to protect her, yet he dared to be so arrogant and act as her master. He was truly courting death.
“Princess Mingxiu, I advise you to stay in the manor and embroider your wedding dress during this time. Don’t try to go out and wander around anymore. It’s not good for your reputation or the Crown Prince’s reputation.”
Chunxin just realized that she had been deceived by Chunyi and Ren Nuanyun. Ren Nuanyun had gone out and done something that made Chunyi entangle her.
Fortunately, nothing bad happened to Ren Nuanyun when she went out, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have let Chunyi go.
Now, she had to keep a close watch on Ren Nuanyun to prevent her from doing anything that would be detrimental to the Crown Prince, who always said that Ren Nuanyun was the smartest and most clever girl he had ever met.
However, after spending time with her, she didn't find Ren Nuanyun particularly intelligent, and she wasn't very good-looking either. She really couldn't understand what the Crown Prince saw in Ren Nuanyun.
Perhaps Ren Nuanyun used some despicable means to seduce the Crown Prince.
Regardless, Chunxin never took a liking to Ren Nuanyun. She had also heard that the Empress was not satisfied with Ren Nuanyun's status.
She can't do anything, but the Empress might.
If the Empress were to take action, she hoped the Empress would go all out, ideally making Ren Nuanyun disappear completely. How could someone as handsome and intelligent as the Crown Prince have a Crown Princess like Ren Nuanyun, whose background, appearance, and character were all so flawed?
Both of them had ulterior motives.
After Chunxin left, Ren Nuanyun began to ask the system questions.
"System, I need abortion medication. How many points do I need to redeem it?" Ren Nuanyun asked with a serious expression.
[The abortion pills cost 500 points.] The system calmly replied, offering no opinion on its host's pregnancy.
"What? Five hundred points?" Ren Nuanyun was so shocked that she stood up immediately. How could so many points be needed?
Yes, 500 points can be exchanged for the best medicine, which has the best effect and almost no harm to the host's body.
"How many points do I have left?" The system's answer left Ren Nuanyun unsure how to react. It was the most effective and almost harmless option, which tempted her, but it was also too expensive.
[The host's current points are detected to be fifty.]
"Fifty points? How can that be? Fifty to five hundred is too much of a difference." Ren Nuanyun was somewhat desperate, but she had no choice. This child could not be kept, and her body could not be harmed in any way.
Therefore, even if it requires 500 points, she has to find a way.
"Any missions coming up? I need to earn points, five hundred points," Ren Nuanyun said expressionlessly. She had to get her hands on this medicine.
[Task 1: Distribute porridge outside the city. Earn 50 points if more than 100 people feel grateful to the host.]
[Task 2: Increase the male supporting character He Liufeng's favorability to 50% to earn 200 points;]
[Task 3: Increase the male lead He Qi'an's favorability to 100% to earn 500 points;]
[Task Four: Help the male protagonist successfully obtain the throne and gain control of the world; you can earn 1000 points.]
[Task 5: Successfully kill the Empress to earn 400 points;]
[Task Six: Kill Xu Ding to earn 150 points.]
"I can understand the others, but why kill the Empress and Xu Ding? One is the Crown Prince's birth mother, and the other is the Crown Prince's maternal uncle. Both were great help to the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne. Why would they do this?"
Ren Nuanyun was full of doubts. She had already done the porridge distribution outside the city once before. Even if she did it again, the return would not be much. Moreover, she could only earn fifty points for every hundred people, which was too little. She simply did not have that much time to do something with such a low return.
[The Empress opposes the host becoming the Crown Princess. Xu Ding harbors rebellious intentions. Although he outwardly supports the Crown Prince and is obedient to him, he is secretly raising and training troops and will later rebel.] The system had no choice but to reveal the plot.
Could it really be like this? Ren Nuanyun was shocked. The situation here was far too complicated. She had heard the Crown Prince say more than once how much Xu Ding supported him behind the scenes.
Moreover, the suggestion to secretly raise an army was made by Xu Ding, and Xu Ding was in charge of doing it. The Crown Prince only needed to provide grain and silver every year, and did not need to worry about anything else.
Unexpectedly, Xu Ding was two-faced, and he harbored rebellious intentions.
"Okay, I understand." Ren Nuanyun subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, having made up her mind.
Of the tasks provided by the system, the last two are the simplest and fastest, and they also yield a lot of points upon success, enough for her to redeem the medicine she needs.
Currently, He Liufeng has absolutely no goodwill towards her. It would be a pipe dream to increase He Liufeng's goodwill towards her so much in a short period of time. It would also be very difficult for the Crown Prince to increase his goodwill towards her to 100%. It would take a lot of time. And getting the Crown Prince to ascend the throne would be an even more difficult thing to do.
Ren Nuanyun could only choose the last two tasks: kill the Empress and Xu Ding.
She never expected that the Empress would actually prevent her from becoming the Crown Princess. Since she was useless to her and would only hinder her progress, she might as well die.
However, she had to come up with a foolproof plan to kill the Empress while simultaneously distancing herself from the situation.
