Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me
Chapter 2 Taking Blood
Lowering the bed curtains and shrinking under the covers, Xi Qiao held a milky-white octagonal jade disc in his hand. The jade disc was flawless and emitted a faint, soft light in the dark bed.
This jade is named Xuan Guang Bi. Xi Qiao saw it in her mind after waking up. It must have been given to her by the person who called her mother in her dream.
Although she didn't know when she had a child, perhaps it was in a past life?
But who cares? What's meant to be will be. She has nothing but this life, and even that was saved by someone else. There's nothing to worry about.
She was quite straightforward and calmly accepted the fact that she had a wonderful daughter. But there was a problem: the Xuan Guang Bi, which should have been her greatest advantage, had no instructions for use! She couldn't activate it and could only pull it out of her sea of consciousness.
With a thought, a ball of lifeless light appeared on the Xuan Guang Wall.
This is a system that has been crippled by a powerful woman.
The confinement system is currently the only function of the Xuan Guang Bi.
Xi Qiao tapped the system with his finger, and a high-tech holographic projection appeared in his bed.
Several large, bright red characters appeared on the screen: "System Binding?"
Below the large text are several small icons, which are: System User Manual, System Binding Details, System Rewards and Punishments Rules, and System Achievements Introduction.
Xi Qiao had already roughly looked through these entries in the past five days. What she wanted to study now was whether she could bind the system with someone else's blood.
Perhaps because this world is derived from the Legend of Zhen Huan, the system automatically switched to palace intrigue.
Highest achievement: "Empress of the Nation"
As the name suggests, it means to become an empress, and the prize for this achievement is so large that it fills an entire page.
However, Xi Qiao wasn't very interested in any of that; what she wanted was the chance to win a prize for this achievement.
She had already looked at the lottery board; there were no fewer than ten thousand prizes. With nothing to do while lying on the kang (heated brick bed) for the past five days, she had been clicking on each one to learn more, and each one made her extremely envious.
But she didn't want to do it herself.
She wasn't interested in public cucumbers that were over forty years old.
Xi Qiao gently stroked the edge of the Xuan Guang Bi with his fingertips, pondering deeply in his heart.
Currently, apart from the emperor's primary wife, none of the other wives and concubines have been promoted. As long as she can obtain Yixiu's blood, she can achieve the status of "Empress of the Nation" once the emperor issues an imperial decree.
However, there is a great deal of uncertainty involved.
The question is whether the prize will appear directly in Yixiu's hands or stay with her.
The Xuan Guang Bi only imprisoned the system's physical body; she didn't know if the system had any other extraordinary features or if it would sneak away through the host's consciousness.
Xi Qiao calmly put away the Xuan Guang Bi.
Whether it is or not, just find someone to try it and we'll know.
Yixiu's mentality has become completely abnormal. If she were to have the help of the system, wouldn't she wipe out the entire Yongzheng harem?
She didn't care much about Yongzheng or the Qing Dynasty, but Yixiu was Chunrong's enemy, so she had no reason to support the enemy.
There's still some time left, so she can try it out first.
The emperor loved Empress Chun Yuan the most. In order to give his beloved Chun Yuan the highest honor, he would not make Yi Xiu the empress in the short term. Otherwise, there would have been no such event as the empress conferment at the grand court meeting today.
Concubines like Consort Hua would naturally have to wait until the successor was chosen before they could be officially appointed and brought into the palace.
However, this does not mean that the emperor did not have women who slept with him.
Well, that's the good thing about this palace intrigue mode. You can start from any position. Even if you don't have a rank, you'll get a reward as long as you successfully serve the emperor.
Xi Qiao was still racking his brains about how to get in touch with the palace maids living in the rooms behind the Hall of Mental Cultivation even when it was time for dinner.
But the opportunity came so easily and at such a timely time.
When Qingzhu brought her dinner, she couldn't help but gossip to Xiqiao, "The Emperor just came to dine with the Empress. The Empress noticed that the Emperor looked tired. She was worried that the servants wouldn't be able to take good care of him, so she discussed with Aunt Sun about sending Sister Chunzi to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
Chunzi was the youngest and most charming of the four palace maids. She knew how to massage, grind ink, brew tea, and burn incense. She was also literate and had beautiful handwriting. Before entering the palace, she was a pampered young lady from an official family.
Sending such a woman to the emperor's side, the empress dowager's intentions were self-evident.
Xi Qiao's eyes lit up. He turned around, rummaged through the cabinet, took out a money box, and gave Qingzhu two taels of silver and a handful of copper coins.
"Have Xiao Lezi buy some good wine and food for me. Later, ask Aunt Sun, Chunmao, and Chunyan if they are free. Also, invite some off-duty palace maids and eunuchs to come along. We'll celebrate Chunzi's birthday tonight. Once she leaves, her status will be different when we meet again."
Qingzhu understood that Chunzi would no longer be a palace maid after leaving, but she didn't feel any envy at all.
During the reign of the late emperor, the nameless and unranked palace maids serving the emperor in the backyard of the Qianqing Palace were not even as good as the second-class palace maids serving the principal empresses.
She happily took the silver and copper coins and ran out.
As night fell, Chunzi's room was packed with people, and even Aunt Sun came over and had a couple of drinks with Chunzi.
Chunmao and Chunyan brought generous gifts, each giving a red gold twisted bracelet.
The palace maids and eunuchs, though not wealthy, each contributed a small amount of silver to give to her.
Chunzi wasn't short of money, but she was very happy.
In her excitement, she drank a few more cups, and her face flushed red; it was clear she was drunk.
Xi Qiao called a halt to the banquet at the right moment, and persuaded Chunmao, Chunyan and the others to leave under the pretext that he still had to do his job, while he stayed behind alone to take care of Chunzi.
With great effort, she helped Chunzi onto the bed and undressed and cleaned her face. While doing so, she took the opportunity to prick the skin on Chunzi's lower back with an embroidery needle and draw a drop of blood.
This location is not very painful and is not easily noticed.
