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

Chapter 251 The Soul of a Fallen Beauty (23)

"That's impossible, I'd cause a huge uproar," Shen Yun said with a smile after he had finished eating and drinking.

Yuanzhou glanced at the table and was immediately startled. The plate was so clean that it hardly needed washing.

He asked with a complicated expression, "Are you eating so fast because you're afraid I'll get angry and have all this taken away?"

How could that be? Is she such a shameless person?

"I'm a naturally fast eater."

I don't know if Yuanzhou believes it or not, but 2345 certainly doesn't.

If Yuanzhou hadn't said that, it wouldn't have thought of this at all.

However, given the host's personality, the accuracy of this statement is probably 99.9%.

The remaining 0.01 is just to give the host some face.

Yuan Zhou remained silent for a moment, placed the folding fan on the table, then slowly handed it over, and after estimating the time, took it back.

"This is a fan that Bai Tan gave me. He said that with it, I can see what I want to see." Yuan Zhou unfolded the fan and examined it carefully. "I originally thought he was lying to me, but now it seems that he has some merit."

Shen Yun tilted her head, wondering if it was just her imagination, but the words didn't seem like a compliment.

Instead, it was filled with strong disdain.

Even if Yuanzhou doesn't believe in this, he should still show some respect to someone like Bai Tan, who has the faith of the common people.

She couldn't help but think that Yuanzhou seemed to dislike him.

"What do you want to do?" There's no such thing as a free lunch. Although she never liked being restrained by others, she felt obligated to help others and thought she might consider it this time.

"You are actually smarter than Zhao Jixiang."

She didn't feel happy at all upon hearing this.

Even if Zhao Jixiang hadn't opened the city gates for him, it seems like he could have stormed in in no time.

"You said."

"I don't know what Bai Tan is planning, but it must be detrimental to you. I dislike the existence of Black Cloud Temple and Bai Tan. Driven by self-interest, you will help me get rid of Bai Tan."

Shen Yun stared in disbelief, and after a long while, he couldn't help but clap his hands.

What a show!

"So what? Helping me is also helping yourself."

Shen Yun suddenly stood up and floated in the air. "Deal. Anyone who goes back on their word is a coward."

After saying that, she gracefully floated away.

Yuan Zhou watched her figure gradually disappear into the distance, and sighed deeply, seemingly talking to himself, "Actually, what I said just now was serious."

You can't force a relationship to work; besides, his idea is unlikely to come true.

It seems that Bai Tan gave Zhao Jixiang another treasure later, but with Lu Qian's help, this treasure was just like scrap metal, completely useless.

Shen Yun always left as if nothing had happened, and would even give a middle finger as a negative review.

If this continues, Zhao Jixiang will be on the verge of collapse.

She sought help from Bai Tan, but Bai Tan thought she was no longer of any use and would no longer care about her.

Although he was scared, Zhao Jixiang felt relieved because he had not seen his sister's spirit several times.

But what still bothers her is that the Empress is pregnant.

Moreover, because she was like a caged beast during this time, the Empress's pregnancy gradually stabilized.

This matter worried her even more than Zhao Ruyi not being dead.

Now that the Empress has a legitimate eldest son, all the things she did before have truly become meaningless.

If her father had passed the throne to her, she would surely have been able to develop the Zhao Kingdom well. But unfortunately, that person would never see her.

She instructed the palace maids to help her dress up, then took out a fragrant balm from a small box, gently breathed on it, and watched as the balm melted slightly, a satisfied smile appearing on her lips.

It's impossible for anyone to discover the secret medicines of the Zhao state's palace.

As for the eldest son, dream on!

The Empress has already used up all her good fortune to have this child for so long.

Given the poor condition in the past, slipping is quite normal.

"Your Majesty, this phoenix hairpin seems a bit too dazzling to wear out."

The palace maid didn't finish her sentence. What she really wanted to say was that a phoenix didn't seem to be a suitable vessel for a palace concubine.

Even if His Majesty favors you, it won't work; the rules are there.

Zhao Jixiang twitched the corner of his mouth, placed the gold hairpin below, and then took out a pearl-encrusted butterfly hairpin. Three silver threads hung from the ends of the butterfly wings, making it look very exquisite.

"I had forgotten, thanks to you for reminding me." Zhao Jixiang smiled insincerely, his eyes indifferent, but upon closer inspection, they were filled with malice.

This phoenix hairpin naturally belonged to her mother, and she originally intended to bring it over today to demonstrate her power.

After all, if we're talking about something not in accordance with the rules, this hairpin is from the previous dynasty, and the imprint on it isn't from the current dynasty.

But according to the rules, concubines should not use the phoenix.

She just wanted to see who looked like an empress and who looked like a concubine, all of them wearing phoenixes.

However, all of these plans were disrupted by this palace maid.

Zhao Jixiang fidgeted with the hairpins in his hair, and walked out with the help of a palace maid.

My mood instantly improved when I smelled that rich fragrance on my body again.

It doesn't matter if I can't wear the phoenix hairpin today; I can wear it another day.

She wanted to see if a hen that couldn't lay eggs could still be an empress.

However, reality is crueler than ideals.

Zhao Jixiang knelt down to pay his respects, and seeing the Empress's tired expression, he quickly said, "Your Majesty, I know a bit about massage techniques. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, may I try it?"

The Empress hesitated for a moment, but then she remembered that she had been a princess before and couldn't afford to be disrespectful. Otherwise, if she displeased His Majesty, she would suffer a greater loss.

Besides, it's just a short massage, nothing should happen.

She nodded, waved, and gestured for her to step forward. "Consort Rong is indeed skillful and clever; no wonder His Majesty likes her."

Zhao Jixiang lowered his head slightly, as if he were shy.

Several women around glared at the scene with hatred, especially Consort Li, whose eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets.

Shen Yun wanted to see how things would develop, but his gaze kept being drawn to Consort Li.

She swore to God that she really didn't mean it.

"The fragrance on Consort Rong is quite unique, like a faint floral scent that is very soothing." The Empress closed her eyes slightly, a genuine smile appearing on her lips.

Just as Zhao Jixiang continued walking, a fallen leaf suddenly brushed against her cheek.

Zhao Jixiang felt a sharp pain on his face and quickly covered it.

He shouted, "Imperial Physician! Quickly, summon the Imperial Physician!"

Upon seeing this, Consort Li spoke up unhappily, "Consort Rong is truly spoiled. She was merely grazed by a leaf, and she has to summon the imperial physician. If this continues, Consort Rong might as well ask His Majesty to bestow upon you an imperial physician to reside permanently in your palace."

Then she muttered to herself, "She still thinks she's back to her original identity?"

The sound was soft but just right, so that everyone could hear it clearly.
