Childbirth System: Become the Goddess of Mercy who grants children to the male protagonist!

Four days passed in a flash, and the female lead still hadn't made any moves. Xu Fu immediately became tense.

"Could this be the cusp of a storm?!" Xu Fu, following his usual practice,

While serving the female lead, he waited for the knife to fall...

That evening, just as Xu Fu was about to return to his room to eat his plain soup,

I was suddenly summoned by the female lead—

Zhu Ye strode over arrogantly, pointed his nose at Xu Fu, and gave a light snort.

"Her Majesty sent me to call you, so hurry up—"

Bamboo Leaf glanced at the person lightly, then left without looking back.

Xu Fu didn't mind the other party's attitude and followed without stopping.

Seeing that the bamboo leaves knew nothing, Xu Fu looked at them with pity.

Only after stepping into the female lead's room did he compose himself.

He bowed respectfully to her and said, "Your Majesty, would you like this old servant to serve you your meal?"

The female lead casually pointed to a plate of duck meat and smiled at Xu Fu,

"You've put your heart into it, serving me for so long. Even if you haven't done anything special, you've certainly put in the effort."

"This piece of duck meat is still fresh, you can take it home and eat it."

Before Xu Fu could reply, Zhu Ye immediately became dissatisfied.

He glared fiercely at Xu Fu, then said to the female lead in a coquettish tone,

"Your Majesty, why don't you keep such a fine meal for yourself?"

"What a waste that these clueless bastards got off easy!"

"Besides, besides—" Zhu Ye stammered, not daring to say that she also wanted to eat.

Life in the Cold Palace was already hard enough, and the female lead didn't even give her a separate monthly allowance.

Bamboo Leaf naturally had no money, no opportunity to treat herself to a meal, and her stomach was already quite empty...

Seeing that plate of fresh duck meat being given to Xu Fu in the blink of an eye, how could she possibly stand it?!

He could only vent his resentment on Xu Fu, glaring at him angrily.

"Bamboo Leaf, shut up!" The female protagonist feigned anger and directly stopped Bamboo Leaf.

"You two serve me together, so naturally I won't show favoritism."

The female lead pointed to another plate of braised pork knuckles and smiled gently at Zhu Ye.

"Knowing you like pig's trotters, that's why I specially saved some for you."

"You can take some down to eat too—"

There weren't many dishes on the table to begin with, and now the female lead has given away the only two meat dishes on the table.

Xu Fu was on high alert, while Zhu Ye looked delighted.

She was about to accept, but then she remembered that Xu Fu hadn't responded yet.

Fearing it might be a test from the female lead, she hesitated and didn't dare to step forward.

"Why aren't you two moving?" the female lead asked with a smile.

"I don't have much of an appetite today, so keeping these dishes would be a waste—"

"Just take it down and eat it, otherwise it will get cold and taste fishy."

Xu Fu knew this was their last meal before they were beheaded; the female lead was determined to kill them.

Without hesitation, he thanked the female lead with a look of trepidation, picked up the dishes, and left.

Before he even reached his room, Zhu Ye excitedly carried the pig's trotters back into his room.

As soon as Xu Fu entered the room, he immediately sent the roast duck into his spatial dimension.

Then I picked out a similar-colored one from my own inventory.

He sat down on the doorstep of the room, holding his rice bowl.

He started eating heartily, facing the direction of the female lead's room.

Xu Fu quickly finished his rice and roast duck, letting out a satisfied burp.

I leaned against the door threshold, feeling drowsy...

After the female lead went out and looked twice, Xu Fu pretended to be delirious and crawled back into the room.

He collapsed onto the bed and fell fast asleep.

"System, is that right? The meat is just filled with sleeping pills, isn't it?"

Xu Fu asked uncertainly, fearing he might be overestimating himself.

What if the female lead gave them poison? Wouldn't his pretense be exposed prematurely?!

[Don't worry, host, it's a sleeping potion. The head maid's was the same—]

However, the dosage was more than double that of the original body.

"Huh?!" Xu Fu was almost speechless with surprise, asking in bewilderment,

"Could it be that the female lead saw through my weak appearance and discovered my true strength?!"

[The medicine the host gave me last time has alerted the female lead.]

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!" Xu Fu almost couldn't help but applaud the other party.

"It seems this year's female lead has indeed improved her intelligence!!!"

Xu Fu suddenly felt like he had met his match and was immediately eager to try.

"System, be more perceptive later. You still need to use those ten points..."

Xu Fu couldn't help but carefully instruct the other party,

He hasn't gotten his points yet, and he hasn't abused the female lead, so he doesn't want anything to happen to him.

[Host, rest assured, this system is showing mercy this time, consider it an act of kindness.]

Keep those points for yourself; this system won't let you get into trouble.

"Alright!" Xu Fu then slowed his breathing and quietly waited for the fire to arrive.

As for the bamboo leaves, Xu Fu didn't care about them at all...

Since she's so loyal to the female lead, let her pay the price for the love between the male and female leads with her life!

In any case, Xu Fu didn't need to drag people onto his pirate ship.

Just after midnight, as Xu Fu was dozing off, he heard light footsteps outside the room.

Xu Fu remained in a drowsy position when he suddenly heard a faint shout in his ear.

"Long wind, long wind—"

Xu Fu maintained his breathing rhythm, pretending to know nothing.

The female protagonist called out softly twice, then neatly and efficiently closed the door from the outside.

Then came the dripping sound of tung oil falling to the ground, followed by the sound of lanterns hitting the floor.

The flames quickly climbed up the rotten wooden door.

"System, has the female lead left?" Xu Fu felt the scorching heat emanating from the burning wood and couldn't help but ask.

[Host, the person hasn't left yet, please wait a little longer—]

Xu Fu wanted to endure it, but the black smoke from the wood mixed with tung oil drifted into his nostrils in wisps...

Xu Fu was afraid that he might suddenly sneez or cough!

"What about the bamboo leaves? Shouldn't the female lead go check on them?"

【Host,】

The system suddenly paused for a moment before slowly saying...

[Host, the female lead didn't set the fire over there...]

"What?!" Xu Fu exclaimed in surprise, not caring about being exposed, he sprang up from the bed.

"Didn't she die with me in our past life?!"

"Why is there an exception in this lifetime? Did I die in vain?"

Xu Fu covered his mouth and nose with the corner of his clothes and rolled directly under the bed.

"The female lead can't exactly come in with a knife and kill me, can she?!"

[Host, the cause cannot be determined at this time.]

With the host as a variable, how will this world develop...?

"It could change in a thousand ways, right?" Xu Fu gritted his teeth, watching the firelight gradually spread to the roof beams.

The female protagonist stood in the center of the courtyard, staring intently in the direction of Xu Fu's room.
