All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

Lin Ruan has not yet arrived in the capital, but according to the distance, he will be there soon.

"Little Seventeen, the emperor is old, can you bury him?"

The system, which had long been in a state of MP3 autism due to Lin Ruan playing the same song on repeat for several days, suddenly heard these words and couldn't help but wonder if it was hallucinating.

“Huh?”

"What?" Lin Ruan said, "I say, now, let the emperor die."

The system certainly didn't remind Lin Ruan that even if it didn't take action, the emperor would only have a few months to live. Afraid that Lin Ruan would regret it like last time, it took action decisively, "Alright, he's dead~"

°???°

It has a cheerful tone.

Lin Ruan didn't care about the system's pride at the moment - she had planned to let the emperor die at this time.

If Lin Ruan was still in the distant frontier when the emperor passed away, unable to return to the capital in time, some would inevitably suspect and accuse her of being power-hungry and disregarding filial piety. However, if the emperor died only after she returned to the capital, it would be difficult to avoid those with ulterior motives linking her to the emperor's death. Even if there was no solid evidence, it was still easy to throw mud at someone.

Everything would be perfect only if the emperor died just as Lin Ruan was returning to the capital, handing over power. This way, not only could she and Xie Yunze complete their mourning together, saving considerable time, but also, with her contributions to Northern Frontier and her status as the new emperor's cousin, it would be a natural progression for her to be crowned an eldest princess.

"Xiao Shiqi, let me test you. What are the three greatest things in your life?" Lin Ruan asked.

"My three greatest joys? Getting promoted, getting rich, and dying old..." The system's voice trailed off as it spoke. After a pause, it suddenly exploded, "Lin Ruan, please respect this system of mine. The song you requested is still playing!"

Wow, Lin Ruan is really an amazing person - while listening to "Not a Lover", he was thinking about his promotion, wealth and the death of his wife.

Bah! Scum!

(σ'д')σ

"Well, if you ask me, my little Fifteen is the best." Lin Ruan said suddenly.

The system suddenly became alert.

Little fifteen?

Where did Lin Ruan get Little Fifteen from?

Not only did it think so, it also asked so.

"Oh~ Little Fifteen, this is the name I gave him in my mind, and I haven't told anyone yet." Lin Ruan smiled.

"Just tell me, who! is! him!" The system was almost pissed off like a pufferfish.

Then Lin Ruan's words made it lose its temper and feel guilty.

Lin Ruan said: "You have seen it, the little eunuch named Xiao Yuzi whom I rescued when I first entered the palace. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be able to kill the emperor."

The system stammered, "What do you mean, you have to? If it weren't for him, I would have been able to kill the emperor!"

As long as the time, place and people are favorable.

Lin Ruan smiled but said nothing, but the system, feeling guilty, shouted in a timid voice: "Lin Ruan, don't be silent. If you have the guts to praise Fifteen, you have the guts to explain!"

(╬◣д◢)I’m so angry. I’m so angry.

Lin Ruan has never praised him, Little Seventeen, so much! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

ヽ(ヽ `д′)ヽ`д′)ヽ`д′)┌┛┌┛┌┛★)`3゜)y

Lin Ruan burst out laughing, but quickly held it back - she was a newly widowed princess and couldn't be too happy in front of others.

Hearing the system chattering in his head, not stopping at all, Lin Ruan hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll explain, I'll explain."

Lin Ruan suddenly sat up straight, his expression like a storyteller. "The emperor's favorite spice is ambergris. It has a unique, enchanting aroma, but it hides a dark secret—it contains a carcinogen: benzopyrene."

"Back in the day, I accidentally rescued a young eunuch in the palace. This person was Xiao Yuzi. Perhaps you've heard of this, but it's truly a coincidence! Xiao Yuzi happened to be a member of the Emperor's kitchen staff. So, with all my efforts, I finally managed to get him accepted as a disciple of the Emperor's personal eunuch, becoming his godfather's adopted son. From then on, eight out of ten of the Emperor's nightly supper orders were from Xiao Yuzi."

These systems all knew that Lin Ruan's daily actions were all under their noses. The systems didn't understand how Lin Ruan could allow someone to harm the emperor without their knowledge.

"Do you remember, Xiao Yuzi, when I once mentioned that the almighty emperor had a special fondness for fried fruits and grilled meat? However, excessive consumption of these greasy foods over a long period of time inevitably leads to boredom. So, I suggested that he cut smoked ham and bacon into thin strips and make a delicious soup. Do you still remember this?"

Faced with this recollection, the system showed no interest in listening, and even showed obvious irritation, responding impatiently: "Alright, alright, I know all these trivial matters very well! Quickly cut to the point and tell me directly how you attacked the emperor!"

Lin Ruan spread her hands helplessly, indicating she hadn't done anything else. "There's really nothing else to say. That's just the way it is." Seeing the system about to get angry again, she quickly explained, "Whether it's frying, grilling, or smoking, cooking methods will produce harmful substances like benzopyrene in food. Add to that the precious and rare ambergris. The emperor has been eating this way for a long time, and he's been exposed to it. If he doesn't get cancer, then why should I?"

The system exclaimed, "Good fellow!"

However, it did not lose sight of its focus: "Then why do you say that he helped me? If he hadn't attacked the emperor, would I have been unable to kill him?"

Faced with such sharp questioning, Lin Ruan just said something lightly and passed the topic over: "Haha, of course I was teasing you on purpose, silly Seventeen." Her tone was relaxed and casual, as if all this was just a joke.

"Lin Ruan!" While the system was angry and embarrassed, it also did not forget to breathe a sigh of relief.

╭ (╯ ^ ╰) ╮

It will always be the first in Lin Ruan's heart!
