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

Chapter 48 A Lifetime of Glory and Peace (17)

It wasn't until evening that Lady Nangong learned that her beloved son and Hong Zhaodi had been imprisoned together.

She jumped to her feet, her face tense. "Are you telling the truth?"

The maidservant immediately knelt down, her pretty face showing a panicked expression, and said urgently, "This servant dares not lie."

Nangong paced anxiously around the room, then suddenly stopped. “Princess Rong’an’s actions clearly show that she still has feelings for Yu’er. It’s just a pity that there’s this troublemaker, Hong Zhaodi. Otherwise, Yu’er wouldn’t be resented by the princess.”

“Madam, the most important thing now is not Princess Rong’an. Since the general and the princess have already broken off their engagement, there is no possibility of it happening again. Even if the princess were willing to turn back, the emperor would not agree. The best course of action now is to rescue the general and the county princess.”

"Even if you don't like the county princess, she is still personally appointed by the emperor and is the general's darling. So what if she becomes the general's wife? If you want a daughter-in-law you like, you can marry another. Does the general expect to stay with only her?"

After listening to this, Nangong thought about it for a while and felt that it made a lot of sense. In any case, she couldn't think about Princess Rong'an anymore. Even a fly is still meat. No matter what Hong Zhaodi's previous status was, she wouldn't be too bad now. At worst, she could find a better one later.

Thinking about it, she walked towards the inner room.

The maidservant quickly called out, "Madam, aren't you going to plead with the Emperor on my behalf?"

Nangong Shi did not turn around, but shook her head. "I won't go. To be honest, the charges Princess Rong'an made were not made up randomly. I know Yu'er's personality. He probably still thinks he can swagger around there. Let's treat this as a lesson to him, so he won't be so arrogant all the time. Besides, even if I go to plead for him now, the Emperor will not release him. The Emperor is Princess Rong'an's own brother, and he will have to give the princess face in this matter."

"The conditions in the prison were poor that day, and there was no one close to take care of you. General, you're going to suffer this time."

Nangong snorted, "It's good for him to suffer a little. He hasn't suffered enough, so he acts recklessly now. Alright, you don't need to serve me here. Spread some news later." She thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Just say that after Princess Rong'an was jilted, her personality changed drastically. She used the Hundred Flowers Banquet as an excuse to imprison Princess Deshu in the palace. General Nangong went to rescue her, but he was also imprisoned."

The maid's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. She opened her mouth in shock, her eyes filled with more than just astonishment. "Madam, if people find out that this came from our household, it will be a grave offense of disrespect."

Nangong narrowed her eyes slightly, "You said it yourself, if anyone finds out, don't worry, no one will find out."

Those who can hear these words and take them to heart will certainly not pursue the matter to the end. Even if they do, who can trace it back to the Nangong family?

As night fell, Shen Yun dismissed all the palace maids and changed into a light and inexpensive outfit.

The original owner preferred brightly colored clothes, which wasn't a problem. The main issue was that most of these clothes were made of light gauze, making movement inconvenient. So, the clothes she was wearing now were stolen from Xiaoyue.

They also put a lump of gold ingots.

It was originally a fine gold hairpin, but it had a special court mark on it, so Shen Yun could only hammer it for a long time until it turned into a lump.

"Give me the sleeping potion," Shen Yun said.

2345's small eyes kept looking up and down, ["I'm a legitimate system, I don't have any sleeping pills."]

"Bullshit~ cough, you're lying. You're responsible for killing, saving, and burying. Last time you even had an antidote for aphrodisiacs, how could you not have a sleeping potion?" Shen Yun said coldly.

No, I'd be a fool to lie to you.

"Heh." Shen Yun sneered, "I think you know nothing about my personality." "I'm a person who always does what I want. If something doesn't go my way," she said, taking out an exquisite dagger from her bosom, removing the leather sheath, and holding it to her neck, "If something doesn't go my way, then I'll choose to die."

Seeing that it didn't speak, Shen Yun pressed the dagger closer to its neck, revealing a shallow bloodstain.

[No, no, no, host, it's just a sleeping potion. I have everything here. Please don't act rashly; this knife is very sharp.]

Shen Yun calmly sheathed the knife, looking completely matter-of-fact. "If you had said so earlier, it wouldn't have been so long. You've wasted so much of my time."

[20 points.] After saying that, 2345 stopped floating in the air and shrank into a corner, becoming withdrawn.

After muttering "shady merchant" under his breath, Shen Yun carefully put the dagger away.

The system's intervention was indeed extraordinary; the eunuchs and guards who had been waiting outside fell to the ground in just a few breaths.

Shen Yun swaggered in.

There was no one keeping watch inside. She guessed that her nominal brother's sexual orientation was abnormal. After all, he was in the prime of his life and couldn't possibly be as celibate as a monk every day. Anyway, she didn't believe it.

With this in mind, Shen Yun shamelessly pulled back Gu Changjin's blanket.

Perhaps because of excessive internal heat, the blanket was only a thin layer.

Gu Changjin is naturally hot-tempered, so he has a little habit of sleeping naked, since no one would dare to pull off his blankets anyway.

The daring person not only lifted the covers, but also watched the scene unfold from the bedside.

"I didn't expect that Gu Changjin, who looks as skinny as a monkey, is actually quite good inside," Shen Yun said, rubbing his chin.

2345 had already closed its tiny, beady eyes. [Host, this...this is incest?]

That's right, at least they're still siblings now.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun's face turned cold, her beautiful eyes filled with disdain. "What are you thinking about all day long, you system? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Besides, he's my brother, what could I possibly do to him?"

2345 paused, her body fur drooping, and said, "Could you please remove your hand from Gu Changjin's abs?"

Shen Yun retorted, "I just saw he wasn't dressed warmly enough and wanted to see if he was cold. Besides, what's wrong with touching him once or twice? It's not like I'll lose a piece of flesh, is it?"

2345: Yeah, they were afraid the person would catch a cold, so they pulled off the blanket. And pulling off the blanket is one thing, but seeing that the person wasn't wearing any clothes, they even touched them.

Shen Yun thought for a while, then smiled. Gu Changjin's palace was lit with candles even at night. Luckily, no one saw her smile, otherwise countless men would have fallen for her.

He deftly pulled the dagger from his pocket and held it against Gu Changjin's neck.
