Chapter 150 System Concubines VS Programmer System 4
Chapter 150 System Concubines VS Programmer System 4
As the emperor walked in through the door, Lin Chuhua and Lin Chuyun bowed together.
"See Your Majesty!"
The Emperor immediately stepped forward and helped Lin Chuhua up with both hands. Ever since he discovered that Lin Chuhua wouldn't get hurt by touching her, he had begun to slowly approach her. Lin Chuhua, however, remained somewhat indifferent, because previously, the Emperor had only come after Consort Qing had told her not to check on the Empress.
"Your Majesty, what were you just saying?"
"Since the Empress is reluctant to part with you, then let your sister stay with you for a few more days. Your birthday is just a few days away."
"Does Your Majesty truly remember my birthday?"
Lin Chuhua looked at the emperor in disbelief. She thought he had long forgotten her birthday. The emperor patted Lin Chuhua's hand.
"Of course, we'll invite your whole family to the palace then."
Seeing the Emperor and Empress's affectionate display, Lin Chuyun wisely left the room, as the Emperor's whispered words were already making her ears ring.
"Do you think Mu Qingqing might sabotage things at the banquet?"
"Of course, I've recently noticed she's been getting quite close to the head guard."
Lin Chuyun raised an eyebrow. What was Mu Qingqing up to? Was she planning to assassinate Lin Chuhua? Lin Chuyun walked until she reached the Imperial Garden. She was incredibly lucky to have run into Mu Qingqing.
Mu Qingqing had been wearing a veil these past few days, but Lin Chuyun had sharp eyes and could see the different skin tones hidden beneath the veil, making her completely different from the Mu Qingqing she had first met.
The once slender and frail Mu Qingqing seems quite different now. Even the dance that Mu Qingqing used to excel at doesn't look as smooth to Lin Chuyun anymore. Could it be that there's something wrong with the system?
"Greetings, Consort Qing"
"Hmph! Haven't you always been by the Empress's side? How come the Empress dislikes you now!"
When Mu Qingqing was favored by the emperor, she was surrounded by palace maids wherever she went. But unexpectedly, in just a few days, she only had a few palace maids by her side.
"Her Majesty is naturally with the Empress, so I will tactfully leave."
Lin Chuyun stood there, her gaze fixed on Mu Qingqing without any attempt to conceal it. Mu Qingqing understood that Lin Chuyun was implying that she was being sarcastic and didn't know her place.
"Hmph! Once His Majesty remembers me, your good days will be over!"
Mu Qingqing left angrily, and Lin Chuyun smiled gently as she watched Mu Qingqing walk unsteadily.
The emperor held a banquet to celebrate Lin Chuhua's birthday.
"Long live His Majesty! Long live the Empress! Long live the Empress!"
The Emperor and Lin Chuhua sat at the head of the table, while Mu Qingqing could only sit to the side. Mu Qingqing seemed to be wearing a lot of powder today, which concealed her previously different skin tone.
Halfway through the banquet, a specially invited opera troupe took to the stage. While everyone was engrossed in the performance, suddenly those closest to the emperor leaped upwards.
Immediately afterwards, the man pulled out a sword and thrust it straight at Lin Chuhua. Mu Qingqing, who was standing next to him, was so frightened that she hid, but Lin Chuyun could clearly see the smugness in her eyes.
The people around the emperor immediately stepped forward to protect him, but the emperor only knew to protect Lin Chuhua. Several of the opera singers also rushed upwards, as if their target was Lin Chuhua!
Lin Chuyun immediately stepped forward, and the emperor tightly protected Lin Chuhua, but the assassin's target changed instantly, and he stabbed straight at the emperor!
"Oh no! This Mu Qingqing actually wants to assassinate the emperor! What is she trying to do?!"
Caught off guard, the emperor was struck by a sword. Lin Chuhua looked at the emperor standing in front of her and, in a daze, saw the boy who had looked at her with a smile in his eyes years ago.
The assassin was captured by the arriving Imperial Guards, giving Lin Chuyun a chance to meet Lin Chuhua. Since arriving in this small world, she hadn't had time to cultivate at all, as everything was inconvenient in the palace.
But as soon as Lin Chuyun touched Lin Chuhua, Lin Chuhua fainted, followed immediately by the emperor, and panic gripped the entire palace.
"How is the Empress?"
Lin Chuyun immediately stopped the imperial physician. She couldn't directly produce the elixir in public, so she had to rely on the physician.
"The Empress has only fainted temporarily due to shock."
Lin Chuyun finally relaxed, but the imperial physician's next words made her nervous again.
"But His Majesty is not well. The assassin's sword was poisoned, and we have no idea what kind of poison it is."
The imperial physician shook his head and left. After a whole night of fussing, Lin Chuhua finally woke up. Lin Chuyun stayed by her side, and as soon as Lin Chuhua woke up...
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Lin Chuhua was anxious to see the Emperor, so Lin Chuyun could only comfort her first. After Lin Chuhua calmed down, Lin Chuyun told the Emperor about the current situation.
"Where is the imperial physician? What did he say? So many people have no solution?"
Lin Chuhua's eyes instantly reddened. Although the emperor seemed like a different person since his ascension to the throne, she still didn't want him to die.
"Sister, you need to calm down. His Majesty isn't awake yet, but you can't panic. If you panic, things will really get worse."
"Yes, I can't panic!"
After calming down, Lin Chuhua immediately began arranging for an investigation into the assassin's origins. However, they only discovered that the assassin possessed a token from the previous dynasty; nothing else was found. Meanwhile, the people from the previous dynasty had long since been driven to places thousands of miles away from the capital.
How could someone possibly arrive in the capital city without anyone noticing, and even infiltrate the palace? Lin Chuhua didn't know why. But Lin Chuyun roughly guessed that it was Mu Qingqing's system!
These past few days, Lin Chuyun accompanied Lin Chuhua to visit the Emperor. After Lin Chuyun had Chen Lingmo scan her, it was indeed a poison that didn't exist in this world. How could they possibly find an antidote? It must be Mu Qingqing.
Therefore, Lin Chuyun would always add a little elixir to the water she fed the emperor. On this particular day, when Lin Chuhua and Lin Chuyun returned to the palace, they saw a palace maid acting suspiciously.
The two immediately told the palace maids to stand still, and then they saw the maid quietly walk to the palace wall, slip something inside, and then leave.
Lin Chuyun went forward to touch it and indeed felt that there was a different spot on the wall. After removing the brick, she saw the note inside.
"She actually wants to usurp the throne!"
Lin Chuhua angrily threw the note on the ground. Lin Chuyun also didn't expect Mu Qingqing to be so crazy!
When the emperor ascended the throne, most of the previous emperor's sons had already died, leaving only a few younger ones, whom the emperor enfeoffed as princes.
Among them, the oldest is Prince An, the son of the late Emperor's Consort, now the Dowager Consort Li, who has just celebrated his eighteenth birthday.
Mu Qingqing actually wanted to assist Prince An in becoming emperor!
