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

Chapter 252 The Soul of a Fallen Beauty (24)

This Consort Li is like a little chili pepper, she's really something else.

She would like Yuan Zhou too. Thinking of this, Shen Yun shed tears of envy.

Zhao Jixiang didn't argue with her anymore. Her right eyelid kept twitching, and she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

Zhao Jixiang only let go of the imperial physician's hand when he arrived.

"Huh?" The imperial physician looked at her in surprise.

At first, no one realized what was happening.

Until the clever Consort Li pointed at her and shouted, "Consort Rong, where's the mole at the corner of your eye?"

Zhao Jixiang was only panicked for a moment before calmly saying, "What mole? Don't be impolite in front of the Empress."

Seeing that she was avoiding the topic, Consort Li raised her eyebrows, then stood up and walked over to her.

Because she was floating, Shen Yun felt that her current perspective was quite good.

All the beautiful scenery is on full display.

“Consort Rong’s makeup is really heavy every day. It’s just a small leaf falling, but her appearance is completely different from before. Do you think Consort Rong has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?”

After hearing all this, Shen Yun felt that if the original plot were to be followed, Consort Li might not be the first to die, but she would certainly die the most tragically.

Every word struck a chord deep within people's hearts; though it was only a few words, its impact was considerable.

Just look at Zhao Jixiang's eyes now, and you'll know what's going on. They're so vicious they could practically devour the person in front of them.

The imperial physician hesitated for a moment, then brought out his medicine box. "This humble servant will clean Consort Rong's wounds."

Consort Li was simple-minded and only thought that Consort Rong's current appearance was due to her superb makeup skills.

So I felt a little restless.

As for her appearance and the beauty mark under her eye, she didn't care at all. After all, she had never seen the real Princess Ruyi, so who knew if this feature was just a rumor?

The Empress, however, had more to say. She smiled and said gently, "Let's let this matter go today. Consort Li, you are too short-tempered. We are all sisters. What can't be resolved? Don't be so rude in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jixiang gritted his teeth, and seeing the Empress leave, he wished he could follow her.

There was no reason for the bitterness and resentment; the secret medicine applied to my body today probably wouldn't work.

It's truly hateful; it's all because of that Consort Li's meddling.

[Host, Zhao Jixiang is gone, so don't bother looking at Consort Li anymore.] 2345 sniffed, feeling an itch in his nose for some reason.

"Sigh, how depressing." Shen Yun rubbed his hair in annoyance.

Have you finally realized that what you just did was actually useless?

Shen Yun rolled her eyes dismissively. "My melancholy stems from the feeling that I cannot have Consort Li."

2345: ...

The host is a pervert!
"Besides, how could you think what I just did didn't work? You idiot!"

The second half of that sentence is absolutely unbearable; 2345 got so angry he turned into a pufferfish.

"Tsk, just look at the Empress's expression. This matter won't be settled so easily."

“If she loses her temper on the spot, the news will only enrage Yuan Zhou. But if she leaves here and the news gets out, she will at most be considered as someone who failed to discipline her properly.”

"It's not good for you to do this!"

Upon hearing the voice, Shen Yun turned his head somewhat stiffly.

Qi Mo was standing under a tree, looking over there without any attempt to hide.

A sense of bewilderment rose in Shen Yun's heart. If she remembered correctly, there should have been quite a few concubines from the imperial harem in this place.

Is Qi Mo really that important to Yuan Zhou?
Is it so important that you're not afraid of being implicated?

"Oh dear, this is just normal revenge, you don't need to worry about it." Qi Mo frowned, her tone quite serious. "These are two different things, what does it have to do with revenge? Even if you have different tastes, you shouldn't be so despicable."

Shen Yun pointed blankly at herself. She was despicable? When did that happen? How come she didn't know?
"Consort Li is His Majesty's favorite concubine; you should not lay a finger on her."

God...you're insane!
She's at most someone who appreciates beauty; when did she ever lay a finger on her? Besides, even if she wanted to, she wouldn't be able to.

"It was my despicable act." Shen Yun nodded weakly. "Then may I ask, did you come to this place, which is reserved for imperial concubines, to relax?"

If she were Yuan Zhou, regardless of their relationship, she would absolutely forbid this person from entering the harem.

Otherwise, given his casual attitude, if he suddenly decides to perform a certain scene in the Imperial Garden or somewhere else, wouldn't he see it all?

Qi Mo blushed and stammered, "This has nothing to do with you."

Shen Yun looked at him curiously; there must be something wrong.

"Tell me, which concubine have you taken a fancy to?" Shen Yun stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Consort Li? Consort Shu? Consort Xian? Or Consort Rong?"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Shen Yun suddenly had a bold guess, "The person you like wouldn't be the Empress, would it?"

It is true that the world is declining and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be.

She's pregnant with her best friend's child.

Qi Mo seemed to be both embarrassed and angry, and said in a fit of rage, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

He saw her wandering around when he had just finished court, and fearing something might happen to her, he followed her closely.

In Shen Yun's eyes, this expression clearly showed guilt.

"Sigh, think positively. There are plenty of fish in the sea. You'll find the right one in the future." Of course, if he took his shamelessness to the extreme, he could have not only the Empress, but even Yuanzhou.

2345: Hey! Isn't this idea a little bit dangerous?
Qi Mo watched her leave without a second thought, and for the first time, he felt a pang of distress.

But he also loathed himself and felt uncontrollable physical discomfort.

Remembering what Lu Qian had said, Qi Mo remained silent for a long time before suddenly punching the tree next to him.

The pain spread from the back of my hand throughout my body.

Fresh blood slowly flowed out.

A few moments later, he saw dozens of ghosts rushing toward him from all directions.

Qi Mo: !!

He didn't bring any talismans with him when he went out today.

In the end, Shen Yun sensed something was wrong and returned to save him. Looking at the figure sitting behind him, Shen Yun shook his head helplessly.

It looks just like a cat that wants to stretch its claws everywhere.

He was both timid and unable to suppress his curiosity.

Sure enough, within a few days, the news of Consort Rong's true identity spread throughout the harem and even the entire capital.

Yuanzhou is considering how to handle this matter.

He could easily shirk all responsibility, but keeping Zhao Jixiang around would seem to better demonstrate his benevolence.

After several more twists and turns.

Before Zhao Jixiang could come up with a solution, her palace was immediately placed under strict guard.

Yuanzhou didn't go there either; it was basically a cold palace.

Bai Tan didn't think much of it when he learned about it. He just felt that Yuanzhou couldn't tolerate the former royal family in its harem, which was only human nature.

So he just sighed softly to himself and did nothing else.

More importantly, Zhao Jixiang is now completely useless to him.
