Save my man, why does he always turn out to be the savior?

Chapter 211 Palace Intrigue World: A Harem Pierced Through Like a Sickle VS An Awakened Emperor with

Su Jinyue woke up because she was hungry.

She hadn't eaten since attending the morning court session, and she missed lunch because she was still in bed with Xiao Jing'an. And that's how it got to this point.

Su Jinyue pulled back the bed curtains and found the outside brightly lit. She clutched her rumbling stomach and wondered to herself, "Has no one called me for dinner?"

"Kongkong, what time is it now?"

Su Jinyue was starving, but her body was still sore and she didn't want to move at all, so she simply asked Kongkong.

Kongkong: [Host, it's already past 8 PM.]

It's already 8 p.m., and she's been starving all day. No wonder she's so hungry!

Su Jinyue couldn't get up, so she casually took out a peach from her spatial storage and started eating it.

While eating, she asked Kongkong, "Kongkong, did you catch Jiang Lingyao's system?"

Kongkong: Of course. With me taking action, wouldn't it be a piece of cake? On the way back from Qianqing Palace, I devoured that Empress Dowager Development System.

The system's host was unaware that if she didn't contact the system in time, she wouldn't know when the system disappeared when she could no longer reach it.

By the way, host, do you know why Jiang Lingyao is in such a hurry to share a room with Xiao Jing'an?

Su Jinyue ate a peach and casually replied, "Doesn't she want a son? How can she be the Empress Dowager without a son?"

Kongkong: [This is not the main reason. On one hand, it's because the system told her that Consort Chun, Ruan Ruolan, also has a system. Jiang Lingyao was worried that the other party would strike first, so she got anxious and couldn't wait to come to Qianqing Palace to administer the drug.]

On the other hand, the system was deceiving her; it claimed that as long as she slept with Xiao Jing'an, it could reincarnate her son from her previous life into her womb.

Su Jinyue exclaimed in surprise: "The system can lie? What if Jiang Lingyao discovers after the child is born that she didn't give birth to her son from her previous life?"

Kongkong dismissed it: "What's the big deal? Those systems are all bad systems, just fooling their hosts. Once Jiang Lingyao realizes something's wrong, the system can say that her son from her previous life has been reincarnated, so some differences are to be expected."

Moreover, the Empress Dowager Development System deliberately informed Jiang Lingyao about Ruan Ruolan's binding to the system.

It was annoyed that Jiang Lingyao's task progress was too slow, so it wanted to provoke her and make her speed up.

Su Jinyue shook her head. These systems really went to extremes, and Jiang Lingyao and Wei Changzai trusted them far too much.

As the saying goes, "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts." Also, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

How could they unconditionally believe the nonsense spouted by these outcasts?

Especially Empress Jiang Lingyao, who has already been reborn, is still so naive and has no sense of caution towards the system.

Perhaps not. Jiang Lingyao's obsession in her past life was her son.

The system used her son to tempt her; how could Jiang Lingyao not be tempted?

But that was all in the past life, it's all over, why can't Jiang Lingyao let it go?

Su Jinyue smiled and said, "Never mind, everyone has their own destiny. Jiang Lingyao is also a pitiful person who has been tormented by fate."

After eating a peach and casually tossing the pit back into her spatial storage, Su Jinyue's stomach finally felt much better.

She wanted to get up, but the clothes she was wearing were in terrible condition, and there were no other clothes on the bed. She couldn't just go out naked, could she?

Just as Su Jinyue was feeling a bit worried, Xiao Jing'an came in.

Seeing that Su Jinyue was awake, Xiao Jing'an walked in with a smile.

"Awake? Someone, come here!"

The first sentence was spoken by Xiao Jing'an to Su Jinyue in a very gentle tone, while the second sentence was shouted to the outside.

Upon hearing Xiao Jing'an call someone in, Su Jinyue quickly covered herself up tightly with the blanket.

Although she knew that the person who came in was also a servant, Su Jinyue was still not used to being seen by others.

Xiao Jing'an silently watched Su Jinyue's every move, a silent smile playing on his lips.

After the servants came in and put the things down, Xiao Jing'an waved his hand and dismissed them.

Xiao Jing'an walked to the bedside, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Su Jinyue who was covered up tightly, and said helplessly.

"I've had someone bring you some new clothes. Get up and change."

Su Jinyue nestled in the blankets, peeking out her eyes as she looked at Xiao Jing'an. She didn't move her mouth, but spoke silently in her heart.

"You're still here, how am I supposed to get up?"

Xiao Jing paused for a moment, not expecting that Su Jinyue minded this.

"Although we've already been intimate, Xiao Jing'an, you're dressed properly while I'm still naked. It's still a little embarrassing to be so naked like this..."

Xiao Jing'an touched his nose. Well, was it his fault that he was dressed neatly?

However, judging from Su Jinyue's thoughts, she didn't seem to have any aversion to what happened between the two of them, and she accepted it quite quickly.

"Xiao Jing'an!" Su Jinyue's voice was urgent. "I'm starving! Why aren't you getting out of here? I know you can hear me, don't pretend you didn't hear anything!"

Seeing that Su Jinyue was getting anxious, Xiao Jing'an obediently got up and prepared to leave.

He was about to leave when, as if remembering something, he turned back to look at Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue was about to lift the blanket, but when she saw Xiao Jing'an turn around, she covered herself with the blanket again and looked at Xiao Jing'an warily.

"Xiao Jing'an, what are you planning to do now? You're not going to lose your temper and try to do it again, are you?"

You can't be that beastly, can you? Even death row inmates get a full meal before they die. You don't want to kill me in bed, do you...?

Xiao Jing'an was speechless. This was how Su Jinyue remembered him.

He's not that impatient, is he?

"What I meant was, just get dressed and come out. Dinner is ready."

After saying that, Xiao Jing'an strode out. If he didn't leave soon, he didn't know if he would still have any image left in Su Jinyue's eyes.

As the ruler of a nation, who wouldn't respect or fear him? Only Su Jinyue would secretly criticize him and show him no respect whatsoever.

But Xiao Jing'an was just a stubborn person and was willing to spoil and indulge Su Jinyue.

If the concubines in the harem heard this, wouldn't they be green with envy?

It's truly a case of some people dying from drought while others are drowning from floods!

Su Jinyue quickly dressed herself. She already knew how to wear ancient clothes, so she wouldn't make a fool of herself.

Moreover, for some reason, Xiao Jing'an brought women's clothing this time, instead of letting her continue wearing the eunuch's clothes.

Su Jinyue thought that it was probably because she had already been exposed in front of Empress Jiang Lingyao, so there was no need to deliberately hide it.

Besides, everyone in the Qianqing Palace already knew about her special status, so there was no need to use the eunuch's trick to cover it up.
