"So... what about the villain?" Su Chen couldn't help but ask.
The system chuckled, "I'm not telling you, figure it out yourself. Bye-bye!"
Su Chen clenched his fist.
She knew it; the system had finally managed to travel to the right world, only to cause her this kind of trouble.
But... what is she, a concubine in the cold palace, saying, "Second only to the emperor, above all others"? Isn't that backwards?
However, the system at least revealed that the Sixth Prince will be forced to rebel, and whoever forces him to do so is the villainous big boss.
Su Chen wasn't flustered; she would just follow the instructions when the task came up.
Knowing that the system wouldn't be available for a while, Su Chen had no choice but to ask Mu Mu, "Mu Mu, are there any other concubines in the palace?"
"Yes, there are also Consort Duan and Consort Shu, who entered the palace on the same day as you. But neither of them has been chosen by the emperor's favor yet." Mu Mu's eyes sparkled. "Has Your Majesty figured out how to regain the emperor's favor?"
"No, what's the use of that so-called favor? It's much more comfortable in the cold palace." The most important thing is that I don't have to fight with those two women.
“Your Majesty…” Mu Mu’s face fell. “That Consort Shu has a past relationship with His Majesty, and she has always disliked you. If she ever gains the Emperor’s favor, she might come to take revenge on you!”
Su Chen's smile vanished. She had thought that since she had only been in the palace for a few days, she wouldn't have any grudges against anyone. Who knew the original owner of this body was so formidable...
“I heard that His Majesty was not favored when he was a child, and only Consort Shu played with him. Because Consort Shu was gentle and virtuous, His Majesty felt comfortable when he saw her, which is why he received this title.” Mu Mu shook her head, “But… His Majesty didn’t see another side of her.”
Su Chen searched her memories.
Indeed, the resentment stemmed from Consort Shu stealing the fruits and cloth that were rightfully hers from the original owner's palace.
Although the original owner wasn't a legitimate daughter, she had been pampered and spoiled since childhood. Naturally, she couldn't tolerate someone taking what was hers, especially since they were of equal rank and there was no question of overstepping her bounds. So, the original owner went to find Consort Shu.
Who knew that not only would they refuse to see her, but they would also have their servants verbally humiliate her.
The original owner was so angry that he had Mu Mu beat them all up, and also slapped Consort Shu.
Consort Shu, of course, could not bear it and went directly to His Majesty to complain. His Majesty immediately issued a confinement order, locking up the original owner of the body for a week before releasing her.
I don't know what got into me the other day, but I saw her serving me in bed first.
Just as things were about to begin, Su Chen transmigrated through the scene. Looking at the magnified face in front of him, he didn't care whether it was handsome or not and slapped him across the face.
To be honest, Su Chen didn't even get a good look at what that dog king looked like.
Anyway, he didn't seem like someone to be trifled with. Su Chen curled her lip.
If he tries anything funny in the future, we'll deal with it head-on. We're not afraid of what he wants to do, because we have this cheat code that will keep us alive.
A few days later.
Mumu brought back two chicken legs from outside, but her expression was still not good.
"What's wrong?" Su Chen took one of the chicken legs and took a bite.
"His Majesty has chosen Consort Shu; today will likely be..."
Su Chen remained calm, her eyes and heart completely focused on the chicken leg.
"Your Majesty, why aren't you worried! Consort Shu is about to gain favor!" Mu Mu said anxiously. "Do you really want to spend your whole life in the Cold Palace? To waste your youth within the palace walls?"
After finishing chewing the meat in her mouth, Su Chen asked in return, "Does that mean I can leave the palace?"
Mumu said, "Young Master will definitely find a way to get Master to take you home. Anyway, the Cold Palace is deserted and no one is around, and His Majesty is unlikely to suddenly decide to come and see the weeds."
