The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

The system ran in hurriedly from outside the door, as if there was a ghost chasing it.

A large pile of books was placed heavily on the table with a dull thud.

The system gasped for breath and it took a long time to recover.

"Why didn't you tell me that Xie Yue was also in Chaoyang Palace? I was almost scared to death."

"This is something that is tacitly understood throughout the palace. I thought you knew it."

Lu Shi flipped through the storybook and said nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal. Isn't the result good now? There are so many books to read."

"That's true."

The heartless system felt that what Lu Shi said made some sense, so it stopped dwelling on it and quickly threw it aside.

Judging from the appearance, she had brought over about twenty storybooks.

It should last for a long time, at least a month.

The system's eyes sparkled with stars as bright as jewels, and it couldn't wait to find the one it wanted to read most among the pile of storybooks.

The Poor Scholar's Rich Wife

"Postpartum Care of Sows"

Fox Demon Lady

……

"Ah, this book 'The Domineering Regent's Sweetheart Baby' looks interesting. It's not a fan fiction of you and Xie Yue, is it?"

The system excitedly opened the storybook, and then was disappointed to find that it was just a Cinderella story.

The powerful regent falls in love with a humble peasant girl, and the two go through many difficulties to be together. It's a cliché plot.

Lu Shi took a moment to glance at the system and immediately laughed out loud, "Don't even think about it. There are very few people who are brave enough to write fan fiction about me and Xie Yue."

"Although I am a puppet emperor, in the eyes of those people, I am still the supreme being."

"My relationship with Xie Yue was average before. Writing this kind of article would mean offending two big shots at the same time. They wouldn't dare to do that."

"Alas," the system sighed, "I thought I'd at least see one of your fan fictions, but I was so excited for nothing."

"Isn't there a copy? Look for it."

"No!" The system was puzzled and looked through the pile of books again.

"I didn't see it, you must have remembered it wrongly."

Lu Shi's body and soul were shaken. He slowly raised his eyes to look at the system, and a hint of hope appeared in his voice: "Did you bring all the books here?"

The system rubbed its chin, pondered for a moment, and then spoke uncertainly, "I was a little scared at the time. I just thought that since I had made this trip with great difficulty, I had to bring back as many storybooks as possible, so I just brought back a bunch."

"I didn't look closely, but there seem to be three left. Uh, it seems like two, but no more than three anyway."

"I did my best to collect as many books as I could, so of course there aren't many left."

It's over.

It's over.

After hearing what the system said, Lu Shi felt as if struck by lightning. The blood in his body froze, and it seemed as if even his breathing had stopped.

"You...what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly feel like you're going to die..."

The calmness in Lu Shi's eyes faded, leaving only a cold and solemn expression. "If nothing unexpected happens, I should be close to death."

With a glimmer of hope in his heart, Lu Shi got up and headed towards Chaoyang Palace.

Hope has yet to be found.

But when she walked into Chaoyang Hall and saw the rice paper in Xie Yue's hand, she knew that things had not gone as she wished.

The piece of paper clearly stated how she planned to befriend Xie Yue and get closer to him.

How to disguise an identity and go to Chunfeng Tower to place an order to assassinate Xie Yue.

He even deliberately cooperated with the assassin to meet him in the back mountain.

Then how to plan to sacrifice yourself to save him and thus get closer to him...

Every detail is detailed.

The handwriting was neat and powerful, totally different from Lu Shi's usual dog-crawling handwriting.

If it weren't for the signature at the end of the rice paper, Lu Shi's anxious figure rushing over, and the expression on her face that showed fear of being exposed—

Xie Yue couldn't believe that this was a vicious trick that his uneducated and gullible Majesty came up with.

His pupils constricted, and the rice paper in his hand slipped uncontrollably, and the light paper fluttered and fell on the table.

His mind seemed to explode, and every little detail of his time with Lu Shi came to mind.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to poison me again?"

——"I really mean it this time."

"Does your Majesty believe me?"

——"Of course I believe it."

"I owe the system 2000 points. I can't go home. You must be responsible for me from now on."

——"I will definitely treat you well in the future and make sure you feel like this place is your home."

"Why did you take that arrow for me?"

——"I didn't think too much about it at the time, I just felt that you were more important than myself."

……

Finally--

"Xie Yue, when do you plan to become my queen?"

It was such a sweet moment, but thinking about it now feels like a thorn in my side.

A chill crept up my spine, and my blood froze into biting ice.

It turned out that his majesty had been lying to him.

Innocence is fake, sincerity is fake, and the grace of saving my life is also fake...

I'm afraid marrying me would be a natural thing.

Everything is fake, making me look like a clown despite my sincere efforts.

What was his Majesty thinking when he foolishly explained his origins?

Are you feeling complacent, secretly cursing him for being stupid, while at the same time being proud of your own infallibility?

Or do you regret it and feel a little guilty?

he does not know……

He only knew that his majesty was playing tricks on someone else while knowing that he liked her and was trying to deceive him.

That night, when he shamelessly drugged her and climbed into her bed, did she secretly laugh at his cheapness and meanness?

He should have. Now when I think back on it, I feel that he was like a prostitute throwing herself at a man, as lowly as the mud on the ground.

Time passed and neither of them spoke.

Finally, Xie Yue gently raised his eyes, his gaze was cold, like a deep ocean, no one could see the deep meaning in it.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his forced smile.

"Jia Ming... Your Majesty's naming is still as clumsy as ever. It's so clumsy that I haven't been able to figure it out for over two months."

"……sorry."

The incident happened so suddenly that Lu Shi had no idea what to say. His mind was in a tangle of thoughts, leaving him no time to think. In the end, he could only lower his eyes and apologize.

"There's nothing to apologize for. After all, Your Majesty truly values ​​me. He offered one million taels of gold just to buy my life."

"Xie Yue!" Lu Shi raised his eyes and took a few steps forward. As he approached, he was stopped in his tracks by the disgust in Xie Yue's eyes.

"Xie Yue, yes, I did the assassination, but I never intended to kill you, and I promise not to let you get hurt."

Her plan was to block the arrow for Xie Yue, then lead him to the edge of the cliff and jump off the cliff with him. She would hold him tightly and act as a back cushion for him.

With her physical body and divine power protecting her, Xie Yue would not be hurt, and she could achieve her goal.

But she didn't expect that Xie Yue had a system, and in the end she was saved by Xie Yue.

The sarcasm on Xie Yue's lips deepened. "A huge order of one million taels of gold, and Chunfeng Tower's unending struggle, what guarantee can Your Majesty have?"

"I have a way, Xie Yue, please believe me..."

Lu Shi wanted to go forward and hold Xie Yue's hand, but was violently pushed away.

"Xie Yue..."

"His Majesty!"

Xie Yue stood up and walked in front of Lu Shi. His slender fingers with distinct joints were clenched tightly under his wide sleeves. He looked at Lu Shi and was silent for a long time.

His eyes were filled with anger, confusion, despair and many other emotions, which eventually turned into indifference, and there was no longer a ripple in his eyes.

"I used the points I've accumulated over the past six years to play a game with Your Majesty. Is Your Majesty happy now?"
