When the original owner of the body was suffering from the poison, she wanted to see Meng Yuzhou one last time.
But when she saw him, she didn't dare to go up to him. Instead, she stared at him blankly, letting the poison seep into her internal organs.
At this moment, Ahri said, "I guess so, it's about the same."
Neither gods nor systems belong to this world.
Ahri then looked at the original owner who had suddenly fallen silent beside her, leaned over in a languid and alluring manner, and even lifted the original owner's chin with her hand, "However, there is one thing I don't understand. You come to this Star-Picking Tower every day, just wanting to catch a glimpse of him from afar, so why don't you just take him in directly?"
"He is the Imperial Advisor."
"So what if he's the Imperial Advisor? You're the Empress. Do you think you can make him your man and let him know you love him just by looking at him every day?"
"I do not want to cause him any trouble."
"How naive you are. Your daily visits to the Star-Picking Tower are the biggest trouble for him. As the Empress, do you think that if you don't speak up, no one will find out? There are plenty of shrewd people in this palace. Your every word and action will be scrutinized by someone."
Upon hearing this, the original owner looked somewhat flustered. "Will he be in danger?"
Ah Li stood close to the original owner, the two of them very close. "I didn't see any danger. You also said that he is the Imperial Advisor. To him, you are probably like the trees in this courtyard or the ants crawling in the corner of the wall. He has no feelings for you, and no one else dares to touch him."
A light flickered in the original owner's eyes. "That's right. To him, all beings are equal. He only agreed to see me because I am the Empress."
"However, you look very much like my mother, the Queen."
The original owner stepped back slightly. Now, this person seemed to be surrounded by an invincible empress's aura, the nobility and arrogance that an empress should have. There seemed to be an innate domineering air in her eyes, making people involuntarily want to submit to her majesty.
However, within this domineering aura, there is also a subtle and indescribable charm, with a captivating allure that inspires both awe and longing, making one yearn to explore further.
Ahri didn't stay close to the original owner anymore. "It's not that I resemble your mother, but that you lack confidence in sitting in this position, so you don't have that kind of aura."
The original owner smiled slowly, with her usual composure, and said, "Then I'll trouble you to take over my life from now on."
The original owner left. She may not have been an ambitious empress who wanted to expand her territory, but she had a benevolent heart that cared for her subjects.
Ahri looked up at the Imperial Star again; it was lit up.
Next, Ah Li would attend court during the day, and after court, she would review memorials.
In my free time, I would go fishing by the lake behind the Star-Picking Tower.
The female official beside Ah Li prepared the bait, cast out the fishing line, and placed the fishing rod in Ah Li's hand. "Does Your Majesty not see the Imperial Advisor today?"
"Why do I want to see him today? I came here before not for him, but for the fish in this lake."
The original owner didn't come empty-handed either; a few times she would bring fish food to feed the fish and catch a glimpse of that person.
At this moment, the fishing line that had been lowered into the lake swayed a few times. Ah Li slightly lifted the rod and caught a big fish. The female official quickly found a net, caught the fish, and put it in a bucket next to her.
Ali stopped fishing, told someone to pack up his things, and said, "Have someone kill this fish and make fish soup."
"yes."
The female official instructed the maid beside her to take the fish to the imperial kitchen.
Ali stood up, looked at the shimmering lake in front of him, and said, "Look, after feeding the fish in this lake a few times, aren't they more likely to bite?"
The lady-in-waiting bowed her head and replied, "That's true."
"Let's go back and see who brought pastries today."
During this time, Ahri also wanted to find out who poisoned the original owner of the body.
