When Qi Nan went to deal with the Prime Minister's matter, the Emperor had people reward the concubines with a lot of jewelry and then asked them if they wanted to leave the palace.
If they wanted to leave the palace, he would give them a large sum of money and set them free. If they didn't want to, he could guarantee them a lifetime of glory and wealth without worrying about food and clothing.
Other than one or two concubines who had childhood sweethearts before entering the palace who wanted to leave, the rest chose to stay.
For those who were sent to the palace, their families basically did not think that they would have a good life. Now that they had been fed the medicine to make them infertile, even if they were to leave, their families might embezzle their money and send them to a nunnery to spend the rest of their lives. Rather than making clothes for them and suffering hardship, it was better to stay in the palace.
The Emperor's personality was generous and wouldn't shortchange them. Also, the Empress's personality was good. Even if she wasn't favored, she would be happy and carefree.
After the Emperor finished dealing with the matters in the harem, he went to accompany Chun Hua.
Qi Nan, who had received the Emperor's order to deal with it, took Jiujiu to visit the Prime Minister's family.
Qi Nan went to anger the Prime Minister, and Jiujiu went to see the Empress.
Because of the system and the Gu worm, even in the prison, the Empress was still the most perfect one. Other than the lack of water to tidy up her appearance, the Empress was like a vacation in the prison.
When she saw Jiujiu, the Empress's eyes were filled with hatred as if they were dipped in poison.
Being glared at by the Empress, Jiujiu only smiled. She continued to walk in front of the Empress and softly said: "Where did you come from?"
Jiujiu's words seemed to have no head or tail, but the Empress who had a guilty conscience was frightened by Jiujiu's words. Her heartbeat instantly sped up.
After a while, the Empress pretended to be calm and said: "I don't understand what you're saying."
When Jiujiu came in, she had Xiao Bai set up a barrier here, so she wasn't afraid of her conversation with the Empress being leaked. She continued to ask: "The jade pendant on your body is very interesting, can you let me see it?"
The Empress' system was of the lowest level. Although it was soul-bound, it still had to be attached to an object.
When the Empress was pulled out of the bed, she only took this jade pendant, so the System was attached to the jade pendant.
When Jiujiu asked where she came from, the Empress' heart started to beat faster. When Jiujiu asked about the jade pendant, the Empress had a bold guess in her heart. She raised her head and carefully looked at Jiujiu. Looking at Jiujiu's exquisite face, she then thought about how Jiujiu had been favoured by Qi Nan the moment she appeared and even let Jiujiu into the Imperial Prison.
The Empress' eyes widened. She pointed at Jiujiu and said, "You also transmigrated."
If Jiujiu hadn't transmigrated, how could she have received Qi Nan's favour? If Jiujiu hadn't transmigrated, how could she have broken the rules and come into the Imperial Prison?
Thinking like this, the Empress instantly had a guess. Could it be that the reason why the Emperor and Chun Hua didn't plant any Gu worms was because of Jiujiu?
Thinking like this, the Empress instantly gnashed her teeth in hatred. Her gaze towards Jiujiu also became unkind.
Jiujiu originally thought that the Empress would be afraid after guessing that she had also transmigrated. Even if she wasn't afraid, she wouldn't be as calm and composed as she was now. However, who knew that after guessing that she had also transmigrated, the Empress immediately looked at her with hatred and said: "Since you've also transmigrated, then we're from the same place. Don't treat me like this."
The Empress' attitude of 'we've both transmigrated and you have to help me' made Jiujiu sigh in amazement at the thickness of the Empress' skin.
After hearing the Empress' matter-of-fact words, Jiujiu thought that she had misheard. She reached out to dig at her ears. After looking at the Empress, she was sure that she hadn't misheard. That was what the Empress had said.
Jiujiu looked at the Empress' standard internet celebrity face and laughed out loud.
Jiujiu didn't let her out and instead laughed. A trace of discomfort instantly flashed across the Empress' face, but she quickly became shocked. She looked at Jiujiu and said: "What, you don't want to let me out."
Jiujiu was shocked by the Empress' strange train of thought. After recovering, she smiled and said: "Why should I let you out?"
The Empress was speechless by Jiujiu's question. She opened her mouth and quickly said: "If you don't let me out, I'll tell Qi Nan that you're not from this world."
Jiujiu thought that the Empress would think of something to threaten her. Who knew that after a long time, she would say this. Jiujiu chuckled and slowly said: "He knows."
Qi Nan could even tolerate her being a cat. What could he do if she wasn't a human?
"He knows?"
"Yes." After Jiujiu finished speaking, she said to the Empress with a faint smile: "Tell me, where did you come from and how did you get this system?"
The Empress knew that Jiujiu likely knew that she had a system, but she didn't think that Jiujiu would be able to smell it. After being stunned, she said with a vigilant expression: "What does it have to do with you?"
The system was her final life-saving weapon. Moreover, the system already said that it would think of a way to bring her back to the modern world tomorrow.
The Empress' reply was expected. Jiujiu curled her lips and looked down at the jade pendant in the Empress' hand. In front of her was the system information that Steamed Bun gave her. After reading it, she felt both disgust and sympathy for the Empress.
Although the system could satisfy all of the Empress' strange requests and could even turn the Empress into an internet celebrity without causing any harm to her body, there was a price to be paid.
The Empress thought that the price was that she had to complete the quests that the system gave her, but that wasn't the case.
The price was the Empress' soul, a cowardly and greedy soul that didn't know her own limits.
The quests that the system gave the Empress were to make the Empress' soul more and more greedy. When the greed reached its peak, the Empress' soul would be swallowed by the system.
It was a pity that the Empress didn't know this and thought that the system was good to her. At this moment, she kept yelling at Jiujiu to wait.
Jiujiu looked at the Empress sympathetically. She reached out and snatched the jade pendant from the Empress' hand.
Sensing Jiujiu's powerful aura, the jade pendant, which had been constantly making small movements in the Empress' hand, instantly became well-behaved. It was as obedient as a primary school student who had seen the head of the political education department.
Jiujiu raised her hand and touched the jade pendant, then threw it to Steamed Bun.
Seeing the jade pendant being snatched away by Jiujiu and then disappearing from Jiujiu's hand, the Empress instantly collapsed.
She was still waiting for the system to send her back to the modern world tomorrow. Now that Jiujiu took away the system, how was she going to go back tomorrow? Thinking of this, the Empress couldn't help but pounce on Jiujiu, wanting Jiujiu to give the system back to her.
However, before she could touch the corner of Jiujiu's clothes, she was kicked back by Jiujiu.
