Origin System, I have a barren mountain

The loss of talented individuals under my care must not be known to them; otherwise, even I would likely face severe punishment.

Wu Hua frowned. Her husband didn't care about her life or death at all. Especially since he liked beautiful women, he seemed to disregard her completely.

Therefore, she has to solve this problem herself.

Cheng Yunmo had no idea that the colorful data casually placed on the expensive mahogany table was a number that Cheng Yunmo could never have imagined.

Upon hearing the knock, Wu Hua responded.

The door opened, and the people who came in were carrying pretty trays. On the trays were exquisitely made candies; you could see the colors inside just by looking at them, they were very beautiful.

"Your Majesty, these are newly delivered gifts."

"That's what the head maid said."

Wu Hua smiled happily as she watched the trays being placed down.

"Very well, let everyone else go down first, I have something to tell you."

The head maid turned around, glanced at her briefly, and then the others withdrew.

When only the head maid was left in the room, Wu Hua sized her up, making the head maid feel very uncomfortable.

"I heard you killed him on purpose?"

Wu Hua didn't refer to anyone in particular, but it made the expressionless head maid suddenly change her expression. "Empress Dowager, this servant doesn't know what you're talking about."

However, Wu Hua smiled at that moment.

“Well done. He was a major threat. If you hadn’t taken action, and he were still alive, he would have caused me even more losses.”

Wu Qi, whom Wu Hua mentioned, is someone she is very reluctant to talk about.

I never imagined that the other party would turn out like this.

Fortunately, although they had planned to give Wu Qi a more important role, they hadn't had the chance to do so yet.

This was the first time Wu Hua had thanked her, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the head maid's face.

However, to Wu Hua, that smile was a mockery of her uselessness!

Wu Hua concealed her anger, but smiled even more sincerely at the head maid.

"I don't know what to reward you with, after all, it wasn't me who bought you in the first place."

The head maidservant thought of the Emperor Emeritus, and felt even more keenly his coldness.

The retired emperor bought a maidservant just like her, exactly the same.

As far as she knew, several maids who looked exactly like her had died in the Xu Kingdom. No one knew about this, and she only found out by chance.

Only those who are useful can be kept, so she always worked very diligently by the Empress Dowager's side.

"I... I don't want your reward, Master. I just want to stay by your side forever."

The head maidservant immediately knelt down and said.

However, looking at this head maid, Wu Hua couldn't forget the smile on her face just now.

"Sigh, I'm very good to all the people who have helped me. Let me go find my husband and see if there's anything I can give you."

The head maid was extremely grateful. Although she was a robot, she had finally gained recognition.

In a flash, Cheng Yunmo had already decided what to have the head maid do.

In the dark, facing the completely irrational Liang Yu, Cui Ming overcame a great deal of psychological barrier to get out of Liang Yu's sight.

However, when he saw Liang Yu, and saw that extra airflow that seemed to appear in the darkness, he realized that it was not human; its appearance was truly terrifying.

Liang Yu finally saw it, a scene he had never seen before.

He saw people like himself facing a super-large sun.

The sun appeared endless, and as it drew closer, even more people appeared, all radiant with golden light, surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors.

Liang Yu didn't know what these things were at first, but then he saw everyone looking at him with friendly eyes, as if they were greeting a familiar person.

"Liang Yu, you've finally arrived."

Everyone else was just as excited.

Liang Yu looked at them, completely bewildered, and didn't know what to say.

Just then, Liang Yu suddenly saw several people who looked strangely similar to him. They looked him up and down and then sighed helplessly.

Just as Liang Yu was about to ask what was going on, he saw someone walk over, carrying a special cup.

Liang Yu was originally going to refuse, but when he saw a special smell, he accepted it.

"Thank you."

Liang Yu said.

The other party politely replied, "You're too kind."

Liang Yu hasn't been as normal as he is now for some time.

"This is the Great Fortune Pool. I never expected that you, as the male protagonist, would become such a greedy transporter, completely disregarding whether you actually have the ability."

After watching him recover, the other person couldn't help but turn their head away and say something.

Liang Yu had no memory of it, and upon hearing this, he looked at himself in confusion, "Me? Impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. Your mother—no, that's not right. Come to think of it, your mother is really a bit strange. She shouldn't have known about our affairs. I don't know how she led you to where you are today."

"Don't say anything more. He must be so heartbroken. You and I have heard about what happened in Xu State. We heard that the people there are living in misery and are pitiful."

As they spoke back and forth, Liang Yu finally realized what they meant.

Liang Yu finally realized that all his strange behavior stemmed from his mother, who had caused Xu Guo to become increasingly worse.

He went from knowing nothing to having a basic understanding.

"Is there anyone who can help me?"

Liang Yu knew that he wouldn't always be so lucky.

The others present did not refuse, just as Liang Yu sensed; the people here were generally quite friendly towards him.

"It's possible, but Liang Yu, you should know that your mother, Wu Hua, is now capable of anything she wouldn't dare to do. So, you need to find He Bai and He Hei first. They can't be dead; they've been taken into custody. If you can save them, the rest will be much easier."

Liang Yu knew the identities of the two people, but he didn't know where their parents would take them.

"Sigh, don't worry too much. We've looked into Xu State for you. The situation there is quite unique, so it's not surprising that you two have run into trouble."

Liang Yu looked at the person who had been very friendly since he came over.

He felt a resemblance to the other person, a kind of inexplicable, natural familiarity.

"In a way, Xu Kingdom lives in a world that is both qualified and unqualified. The reason for this is probably due to the national advisor there."

Liang Yu had heard of the legend of the Imperial Preceptor.
