Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 250 The Soul of a Fallen Beauty (22)

Because of the head-shaking motion, the two hairpins on the Ling She bun also swayed incessantly.

Then the tassels on top got tangled up as they swung around.

Seeing that tears and snot were streaming down her face, Shen Yun suddenly felt that he must be a strange person, after all, he could still notice the hair ornament on her head at a time like this.

It seems that overly dramatic movements are not suitable for a noblewoman.

"It's all my fault, sister. Before I could even jump, I was caught. The new emperor threatened me with the civil and military officials, otherwise I would have followed you." Zhao Jixiang took out a handkerchief to cover half of her face, her eyes looking pitiful, as if they were filled with water.

These cosmetics are of good quality; they didn't even cause any damage.

As Shen Yun was pondering how to give her a polite beating, a string of beads flew towards her and landed on the ground.

Zhao Jixiang's smile froze completely. She looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief. Wasn't it very effective last time?
Shen Yun looked at the beaded string, then at Zhao Jixiang, and smiled gently, "I remember this beaded string. You used this to hurt me last time."

Zhao Jixiang retreated in a panic, his eyes filled with caution.

But then she remembered that the only effective beaded string she had was also ineffective, so she could only force a smile. "Ever since the fall of the Zhao Kingdom, I have been suffering from insomnia and nightmares, unable to sleep at night. That's why I asked the abbot to give me something to help me sleep. I really didn't expect it to harm you."

"Ruyi, we're sisters, would I lie to you?"

Hearing the commotion, the palace maid outside the door quickly approached and asked loudly, "Your Highness, would you like me to come in?"

Zhao Jixiang's face paled, but she pretended to be calm and said, "No need, I just accidentally bumped into the stool."

After a while, Shen Yun, using the terrifying expression given by 2345 as a reference, then bared his teeth and claws as he faced Zhao Jixiang.

Zhao Jixiang initially appeared very calm, but just as Shen Yun was about to suspiciously take out a mirror to check himself, Zhao Jixiang rolled his eyes and fainted.

Shen Yun stretched out his hands, and the thick black mist slowly entered Zhao Jixiang's body.

"Sweet dreams," Shen Yun whispered in her ear.

When Zhao Jixiang woke up, he couldn't tell whether the scene in his dream was a hallucination or reality.

She glanced around uncertainly, then quickly ordered a palace maid to come in.

She picked up the beads that had fallen to the ground and placed them in the maid's hand, saying slowly and deliberately, "You must personally return these beads to Abbot Baitan and tell him that I no longer need them."

The palace maid was taken aback by her serious tone and readily agreed.

"Did Consort Rong tell you to say that?" Bai Qin stroked his goatee, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The palace maid lowered her head. "Yes."

It wasn't that she knew the rules and was afraid to look up; rather, whenever she saw Abbot Baitan, she seemed to recall the events that occurred when the abbot first entered the palace.

After the palace maid left, Bai Tan could hardly contain his joy.

If what the palace maid said is true, then it means that Zhao Ruyi has very likely already integrated the power within the jade pendant.

However, he still had to be cautious and test the waters again.

Although he didn't think Zhao Ruyi had the ability to deceive him.

Shen Yun left Zhao Jixiang's room and headed straight for the Imperial Garden. There was no other reason than that she was drawn there by the fragrance.

Go ahead to dangers.

Faced with temptation, she accepted the trap.

2345 was chewing on sweet potato chips in the system space, crunching and mumbling, "Host, I think one shouldn't be too greedy for food."

crunch...

Shen Yun swallowed hard before sneering, "If you're so capable, put the sweet potato chips down." It's easy for you to say that while you're standing.

She could only look at the delicious-looking imperial dishes every day, but she couldn't eat them.

The pain made her want to perform breaking a boulder on her chest.

"You finally came."

Shen Yun looked in the direction of the sound and saw a plate of braised pork with bamboo shoots. His mouth watered uncontrollably.

Yuanzhou waited for a long time, but no one came to look at him.

He swiftly unfolded his folding fan, slowly walked forward, and used his body and the fan to block out a table full of delicious food.

Shen Yun then shifted her gaze. Although she didn't know what was going on, she felt that she could eat the dishes on the table.

No, no, this must be a trap.

Even if it's a trap, it shouldn't matter. Yuan Zhou, that weakling, shouldn't be able to do anything to her.

Besides, Yuan Zhou couldn't see her, so he must be talking to someone else.

Thinking this, Shen Yun sat down on the stone bench as if no one else was there, then picked up his chopsticks and began to wolf down his food.

Although he wolfed down his food, he didn't lose his composure.

Yuan Zhou watched from the sidelines, and for a moment he forgot his original intention.

He wasn't angry; instead, he sat down next to her, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at her.

The folding fan tapped lightly on the table, producing a very pleasant sound.

"It is said that Zhao Yin's youngest daughter is gentle, charming, innocent and cute, but the rumors cannot be entirely believed."

Once he said that, Shen Yun couldn't deceive himself anymore. However, seeing that Yuan Zhou didn't seem to have any ill intentions, he decided to finish the meal first.

She first tried to stuff the meat into her mouth, then chewed and swallowed it quickly like a little hamster. "You said it was just a rumor, and you still believe it? Foolish human."

Yuanzhou chuckled at her words. “While rumors shouldn’t be taken entirely at face value, they shouldn’t be completely disregarded either. Your own sister, I mean Zhao Jixiang, is said to be ruthless and a harbinger of disaster. After spending time with her, I find those descriptions to be quite accurate.”

Shen Yun's chopsticks, which were picking up meat, paused. If she was only slightly surprised before, she was probably terrified now.

"Do you know her true colors?"

My God! Could this person be a reincarnation?
She remembered that Yuan Zhou's first wife, who is now the Empress, had her first and second children aborted by Zhao Jixiang, and was even rendered infertile for life because of it.

This was the fate of most of the concubines in the imperial harem.

Could it be that Yuan Zhou was reborn and learned all this, so he's here to take revenge?

Never mind, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Anyway, the original owner really didn't do anything to harm Yuanzhou.

"I don't care what her true nature is. What I want is a former princess who can be Consort Rong. Whether she is ruthless or kind doesn't matter."

Judging from the implication of these words, Yuan Zhou is indeed not a reincarnation.

It was only because of her arrival that some minor details changed.

Yuan Zhou chuckled softly, his eyes filled with tenderness. "If Princess Ruyi were the current Consort Rong, I would probably be happier."

Shen Yun chuckled, something seemed off about their conversation.

No, she has to change her mind.
