Chapter 150: Empress Xiao Yiren in Qing Dynasty(1/2)
Seeing that Xiao Hesheli was still standing uneasy, Su Xueyun smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I must be tired of having sex today. I will send you a visit to the imperial physician. It's okay to go to the banquet later. Your body is important."
Xiao Hesheli looked at her mother-in-law quietly, and nodded to her, thanked her gratefully. She had really not eaten well and had a good sleep. She was very weak, but as soon as she asked to find a doctor, Li Sier mocked her for being ugly and making trouble. However, Longkodo felt that everything Li Sier said was right and scolded her fiercely. Naturally, she was not good at asking the doctor to enter the mansion at this moment. And her mother-in-law also said that Li Sier had to find a way to get rid of it, but she could not make the family fuss, otherwise she would be caught by outsiders and the entire Tong family would be embarrassed. After all, she was from the Tong family, so she had to give in for the overall situation.
Unfortunately, Xiao Hesheli didn't know that in the fight between the two parties, they lost the opportunity if they gave in first. Sometimes they might not be able to make any further in their lifetime, so they could only give in until they had no choice but to retreat and ended with a crushing defeat.
Su Xueyun also wanted to accept the visits of all the wives. Although she was interested in asking Li Sier about it, she was still not free. She ordered Ningzhu to stay and take good care of the Tong family, and she took the three concubines to host the palace banquet. The programs arranged by Su Xueyun were naturally very good, playing the piano, dancing, poetry, and guessing riddles, which were both interesting and elegant, especially guessing riddles. The arrangements for those palace ladies always swear everyone's appetite before announcing the answers, which aroused everyone's interest. The boring palace banquets in previous years seemed particularly lively this year. Even Kangxi, who had been nervous recently, relaxed and smiled.
Kangxi picked up the wine glass and raised it to Su Xueyun, and smiled and said, "The Queen is in love, thank you for your hard work in the past."
Not only did he want to make him happy, but he also wanted to ease the depressed atmosphere between the royal family and the ministers, just like a timely rain that calmed down the wind and the soldiers.
Su Xueyun held up the wine glass with both hands and raised it, with a slight smile on her lips, and said, "I can only spend some time on these trivial matters. How can I call it hard work? It is really hard for the emperor to work hard for the people of the world. Now the people live and work in peace and contentment are all the emperor's contributions. I respect the emperor with a cup."
Kangxi's smile deepened, he nodded to her, raised his head and drank a glass of wine. The mellow wine entered his throat and felt refreshed. In this situation, he developed a bit of enthusiasm for living the world.
Su Xueyun looked away and looked faintly at the palace people singing and dancing below. She wanted to make Kangxi suffer, but blind pain was nothing. Just like the green ivy, whose emotions were accumulated to a certain extent, they would vent all of them as soon as they erupted. The broken cannon was not as uncomfortable as before. The emperor was angry and mourned everywhere. She was not interested in being affected when Kangxi broke out, so she simply let Kangxi see some hope and feel some light from time to time so that life would last longer. As for whether Kangxi would figure it out and live happily, Su Xueyun was not worried at all. As long as the prince was there, the thorns in Kangxi's heart would only get deeper and deeper, and the doubts were the most tormenting.
The palace banquet ended successfully, and Su Xueyun gained a good reputation. The system also rewarded Su Xueyun with 5% prestige. For tasks like organizing palace banquets and in charge of the harem, Su Xueyun only treated them as daily small tasks. After all, she has lived in different palaces for hundreds of years, and she is always in power. Doing such things is as easy as eating and drinking water. The tasks released by the system are simply for free.
She was inevitably a little disappointed before, because she had experienced too much and had too many things, so those tasks that would make Concubine De fail were too simple for her, and it seemed that the system had no meaning at all. Unexpectedly, this time the reward for this task directly made a Gu, which immediately aroused her curiosity.
She had seen Gu in those worlds in the past, but she had seen very few of them and had no chance to study them carefully. The missions in this world have been almost completed, and maybe she has plenty of time to figure out something like Gu. When she returned to her bedroom at night, Su Xueyun summoned Ningzhu to ask the people in her parents' home if anything had happened.
Ningzhu smiled and bowed, saying, "Congratulations to the master, the young lady is happy!"
Su Xueyun paused and raised her eyebrows and said, "Is there any joy?"
Ningzhu smiled and replied: "I am really happy. The imperial doctor has been taking the pulse for three months. However, the young lady is depressed and her body is not well maintained, so she seems a little haggard. The imperial doctor has prescribed a prescription for the young lady to safeguard her fetus, saying that she will be fine after more than a month of birth."
Su Xueyun was about to ask again, but suddenly heard the voice of the system, "Ding! The system released a task: to protect Xiao Hesheli's baby, the completion period is six months, the task reward is one fetal protection pill. Taking this pill, you can ensure the fetus is born healthy no matter what happens, and the penalty for failure is to reduce health by 5%.
Su Xueyun blinked, what is the fetal protection pill? She has countless medicines in her life, but she has never heard of them. And it is too amazing to ensure the healthy birth of the fetus, no matter what happens, is it? Is it a fairy pill? This kind of thing is useless to her, and a pill cannot attract her at all. If she knows that the formula is still the same.
But as long as she gets the pill, she will study it herself. She likes the challenge most. She thought about it and wrote a list, "I guess these things are used by my brother and sister. You can pick the best ones in Curry and send them back to her. Remember, send them with great fanfare, and then hit Longkodo. This is for my brother and sister, not for me."
At this time, the system released another task, "Ding! The system released a task: treat Mama Chen's illness, the completion period is three days, the task reward is parasitic Gu, and the failure penalty is to reduce prestige by 5%.
Su Xueyun was stunned for a moment and asked silently in her heart, "Who is Madam Chen?"
"Ding! Madam Chen is the palace maid arranged by the host to Xiao Hesheli."
Su Xueyun remembered it and felt a little confused. The mission reward was also a Gu, and she asked her to treat Madam Chen. Could it be that even her subordinates could not be cured if they were sick? She looked at Ningzhu and asked, "I remember having arranged a Madam to help her with her brother and sister before. What's going on now?"
Seeing that Su Xueyun heard that Xiao Hesheli was pregnant and did not show any joy, Ningzhu also smiled and thought about the news she received recently and replied: "Master, Madam Chen got sick a few days ago and was always unable to take care of her. She was afraid that she would get sick and moved to the house for recuperation. Now someone is serving her. But two more people should be arranged to protect her at the young lady?"
Su Xueyun said thoughtfully: "What disease can't be cured? Can you look for a doctor with good medical skills?"
Ningzhu was puzzled by this, "I have seen it all, and I have been using the medicine, but for some reason I always didn't improve."
“Where has you settled?”
Ningzhu talked about a house in their capital. Su Xueyun secretly wrote it down and nodded, "Okay, let's leave this matter for now. There is something strange about my brother and sister. Let's talk about it when I figured out the situation. How is the shop I told you?"
"Master, don't worry, our people have changed their names and no one knows their origins. They are now scattered, each in charge of different farms and shops. If the master guides them, they have made a lot of money in the past, and the shops are becoming more and more, and they have already opened to other towns."
Su Xueyun smiled with satisfaction and said, "If you continue to explain, you don't have to hurry up and do it within ten years. Never expose it. Remember to be careful. These... will be Yinzhen's bargaining chips in the future."
"Yes, Master, don't worry, I will do my best to do my best to do my job for the little master."
"Well, you are tired today, go down and rest. If you have time, do these things, don't worry." Su Xueyun waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat, and then went into the bedside to rest.
Since she got through time, she was not allowed to stay in the house because she was afraid of quarrels. Now the palace people have become accustomed to it, and the closest thing to her is just waiting outside the door. When it was late at night, Su Xueyun made a dummy under the quilt and set up a psychedelic array beside the bed. From outside, she could only see her lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully. As her current identity, no one dared to disturb her rest, so naturally she was not afraid of being exposed.
Su Xueyun took out a set of night clothes from the space and changed into it neatly, then sneaked into the night through the back window, and soon left the palace.
This was the first time she left the palace after traveling to this world. However, this street was still a street of the Qing Dynasty. She had been traveling through Namuzhong for a long time, and she didn't feel anything strange. She walked in the streets and alleys with familiarity and quickly found the house that Ningzhu mentioned. The long-term illness in Madam Chen lived here to recuperate.
Su Xueyun didn't think about exposing her own abilities, so she didn't disturb anyone. She used her spiritual power to sprinkle a handful of drugs before entering the house, and went in to take her pulse after Madam Chen fell asleep. The pulse was nothing strange, it was just a small wind and cold, but a small wind and cold could not have been cured until now. She carefully checked Madam Chen, and there was no serious illness.
Su Xueyun frowned, mobilized a trace of spiritual power to penetrate into Mama Chen's body and began to find the source of the disease bit by bit. As a result, Mama Chen's internal organs were a little weak, which was not a symptom of wind and cold at all, which made Su Xueyun startled to surprise.
After continuing to explore, she suddenly found a living creature, which scared Su Xueyun. She reflexively thought of the parasitic insect that the system wanted to reward, and hurriedly asked: "Is it a Gu? Madam Chen was slapped? Is it the parasitic insect you mentioned?"
"Ding! The host's assumption is correct. The parasitic Gu will parasitize in the human body and absorb nutrients from the human body until it is completely eaten up. During this period, people who are infected with this Gu will become more and more painful, and eventually become a human being. The parasitic Gu reaches its maturity stage after completely sucking a person, and can be used to attack the enemy."
Su Xueyun's scalp was numb, "Attack the enemy? Use things raised by a living person as a weapon? Are you kidding me?"
The system could not understand her emotions, and a mechanical voice sounded, "The system was just stating the facts and explaining the effects of parasitic Gu to the host. As for whether the host will use parasitic Gu to attack the enemy, the system will not interfere."
Su Xueyun took a deep breath and surrounded the little bug that he had just detected with his spiritual power. The little bug felt that the spiritual power became extremely active, and even wanted to absorb the spiritual power. It seemed that the spiritual power was very attractive to it, but Su Xueyun was very skillful in controlling the spiritual power, and it was impossible to deliver vegetables to the little bug in vain. She controlled the spiritual power and moved the little bug out little by little. The little bug seemed to feel uneasy and began to become manic, but she could only run east and west in a ball of spiritual power, and could not escape.
Madam Chen had a cold sweat in her sleep and frowned with great discomfort. Su Xueyun took out the small insect and took the pulse of Madam Chen again. This time, without the influence of the Gu, Su Xueyun successfully diagnosed Madam Chen's current condition. Fortunately, the time for the Gu was still short, and the five internal organs were not damaged. She was only absorbed a lot of nutrients and could be recovered.
Su Xueyun moved the insect to the point where Madam Chen's fingertips and scratched her fingertips. The insect immediately slid out of the wound. The parasitic insect suddenly escaped, which made Madam Chen very uncomfortable. Su Xueyun's other hand attached a lot of spiritual power to nourish Madam Chen's five internal organs. After a stick of incense, Madam Chen fell asleep peacefully again and her eyebrows relaxed.
Su Xueyun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to the palace after confirming that Madam Chen had nothing to do. She entered the space and used a small glass bottle to fill the insect. She looked left and right and looked inconspicuously, and she felt incredible that the little insect could play such a great role. But before she could figure it out, she found that the little insect in the glass bottle had gradually lost its vitality and stopped moving shortly afterwards.
Su Xueyun stared at him for a long time and said speechlessly: "Die? Didn't you say it's very powerful?"
"Ding! Once the parasitic Gu is interrupted and the host is forcibly stripped from it, it will die quickly."
Su Xueyun laughed, "Are you a hindsight? Concubine De was probably defeated because you were always hindsight. If you have any situation, what can you help?"
"Ding! The system will assist the host to become a better host, rather than letting the host have everything without getting it. Otherwise, the host will most likely treat the system as an encyclopedia and neglect its own verification spirit. This is extremely unfavorable. If the system fails one day, the host will lose all its support."
Su Xueyun fiddled with the glass bottle and threw it aside, "The system always makes sense, the system is the fairest."
"Ding! Treat Mama Chen's illness, the task has been completed. This reward is a parasitic Gu. Please use it well by the host."
As soon as the system sounded, a small red bug appeared on the table in front of Su Xueyun. It was obviously different from the one before, and it looked much higher-end. Su Xueyun was still scared of this thing, so she quickly took an empty glass bottle and put it in. She confirmed that there was no threat and said, "Are the same kind of Gu still divided into levels?"
"Ding! The host's speculation is correct. The system reward product is the strongest in the same category. This parasitic Gu is extremely tenacious and has amazing destructive power. As long as it is carefully raised, it can become a weapon to attack the enemy."
Su Xueyun's face was stiff. Sometimes she was really helpless about the system not understanding the seven emotions and six desires. She was like a child with an atomic bomb. Because she didn't understand, everything didn't matter. If you were not careful, it might cause a disaster. But now the system was bound to her. If the system didn't understand, she would understand it. She would not be able to use people to raise this thing. Even if it was a villain, the life and death talismans or the like were at least martial arts, and the insects would be disgusted and too heavy-mouthed.
Su Xueyun put a spell on the dead parasitic pot and instantly burned to ashes. The living one, Su Xueyun, placed it in a drawer in the corner, was considered a high-rise shelf and didn't intend to touch it. The system really just gave rewards and explanations, and did not react at all to her obvious dislike.
Su Xueyun came out of the space and put away the dummy and removed the formation. She lay on the bed, but couldn't sleep. She was not a stupid person. The rewards set by the system twice were all Gu insects, and they were all related to the Tong family. It seems that Li Sier is the most likely to be able to raise Gu. It is very likely that Longkodo would steal his father-in-law's concubine after being stolen by Gu, and obey Li Sier's advice. If this is true, the Hesheli clan of the big and big can naturally not fight Li Sier. Those women who have been locked in the backyard for their whole lives depend on men that others cannot imagine. Li Sier controlled Longkodo, so naturally there was no need to be afraid of the Hesheli clan of the big and big.
The more Su Xueyun thought about it, the more she felt right. In fact, although the system did not tell her directly, she was also using the method of posting tasks to guide her to discover it step by step. Madam Chen's illness is an entry point. As long as she follows the clues, she will naturally find the truth. The things she found must be very impressive, which is much better than the direct notification of the system.
Just like when you do your questions well when you study, you can only truly learn it. Copying the answers means that you can never turn knowledge into something you have. This may be something that many people don’t like when facing the system, but she can understand it very well. All the things she learned before were remembered in her mind, making her life better than life. So now the binding system is the icing on the cake, and even if the system disappears, it will not affect her. This is her life, otherwise wouldn’t she become a puppet of the system?
Su Xueyun did not chase the system and asked this and that. She had guessed the direction, so she naturally had a way to find out the truth. After she had a clear mind, she slept peacefully. The next night she left the palace again, and this time she went directly to the Tong family.
Su Xueyun first found Xiao Hesheli, gave her some spiritual water, and then used spiritual power to nourish the fetus, which made Xiao Hesheli's condition improve a lot. Later, Su Xueyun checked her health for her parents in this life and found that some old diseases were old. She had already thought about letting the imperial doctor take care of them.
After going around the same price, Su Xueyun finally found Li Sier's room. As she expected, Longkodo was also here. To be on the safe side, Su Xueyun posted an invisible talisman on her. When she walked into the room, the system suddenly said, "Ding! The crying Gu is about to awaken Li Sier. The crying Gu has the function of warning the master, and it will make an inaudible cry, and the unique audio will awaken the master."
The next moment, Su Xueyun heard short crying sounds. The sound was very small, but it kept ringing like a rhythm. Li Si'er's eyes turned, and she was obviously about to wake up.
Su Xueyun's face turned dark, and the hindshot was the hindshot! She had walked into the middle of the house. If Li Sier woke up, wouldn't she see her at first sight? There was no place to hide! Fortunately, she was used to being cautious and putting an invisible talisman on herself, otherwise she would be cheated by the system sooner or later.
Su Xueyun said with a smile on her face, "System, did you do it on purpose? Is this considered increasing the difficulty of life for the host?"
"Ding! According to data analysis, without a system, the host cannot know the crying Gu, and naturally will not take precautions. The system reminds the host and provides the host with a certain chance of hiding, which is helpful to the host."
"Su Xueyun walked over quickly to sprinkle a handful of drugs on Li Sier who was about to open his eyes, and successfully made Li Sier faint.
Before the owner woke up, the crying Gu kept crying with all his duties. Su Xueyun's facial features were sensitive, and soon found the crying Gu from under Li Sier's pillow in the faint sound. She narrowed her eyes and looked at it, thinking that this was much better than the parasitic Gu. At least people with a positive outlook could use it with confidence, so she put it directly into a glass bottle and put it in the space.
The system continued to explain to Su Xueyun responsibly, "Ding! The binding level between the system and the host can be improved. The higher the binding level, the greater the help of the system to the host, and the greater the help of the host to the system."
"Oh? Then are our current level high or low?"
"Ding! The host is wary of the system and does not fully accept the system, so the binding level between the system and the host is still in the early stage."
Su Xueyun couldn't help but be stunned, and was on guard...
This is instinct. For her, the system is like a partner she just met. They can go along the way and help each other, but it is really impossible to accept it with all their hearts. She has lived for so long and experienced countless cold-blooded and heartless things. It is impossible for her to accept anyone inexplicably. Whether it is the system or the partner, it requires a process, after all, it is necessary to be close to each other for a lifetime.
Su Xueyun silently checked Longkodo's body. Longkodo was very healthy and had no problems. After that, she controlled her spiritual power and carefully checked it, and then she found a very peaceful Gu insect in Longkodo's body.
Su Xueyun had experience in treating Mama Chen, and this time he quickly took out the worm. The system made a timely statement, "Ding! The host's hand is a concentric Gu Zi Gu, which is used to make a man and a woman have a unity forever. The mother Gu can control the child Gu. People who have been infected with the child Gu will never go against the other party's wishes. This kind of Gu is harmless to the human body."
Su Xueyun was stunned for a moment, shook her head and laughed. She was still embarrassed about not accepting the system, but forgot that the system had no emotions and desires, and would not be angry or quarrel. She did not need her explanation and would not take the initiative to do anything to bring each other closer. It was really fair. The system would give back to the host as much as the host paid to the system. Just like before, Defei hated the system, so the system naturally did less and finally automatically unbinding the relationship.
Su Xueyun also figured out one or two things, the system is different from human beings. When she gets along with people, the feelings are protected. The feelings expressed by people are true and false, so it naturally takes time to observe and distinguish. But the system is one, one, two, and does not understand intrigue or superficial skills. The real host can get as much as it pays, without any temptation.
Su Xueyun took a deep breath and felt much more relaxed. In fact, she also hoped to have a partner whom she could trust with her whole heart, so that she would not feel lonely every time she went to a strange world. Maybe the system is this partner, a partner who would be rewarded equally as long as she was willing to give, and a very fair partner. She also likes fairness.
Su Xueyun decided to try to accept the system and felt much better. Then she noticed that the system only said that the concentric Gu can make people unite forever, but it just means literally. She didn't say how the relationship was. She asked, "Will the concentric Gu make them fall in love?"
"Ding! No, Gu can control people but cannot make people feel false, so the unity Gu can tie two people together, and never have any strange intentions, but has nothing to do with feelings."
"That's right. If feelings can be realized by the worm, it would be too sad. False things can never become reality." Su Xueyun clapped her hands and looked at the two people lying side by side on the bed, and said, "I don't know what the reaction will be when Longkodo wakes up. By the way, I took away the son Gu of the Concentric Gu, so the mother Gu should know, right?"
"Ding! The host's speculation is correct. Li Sier will immediately find that the Zi Gu disappears after waking up."
Su Xueyun laughed, "So if I don't ask, are you not going to remind me, right?"
"Ding! This conclusion is a reasonable speculation, and under normal circumstances no one will not expect it."
Su Xueyun was speechless. Seeing that it was getting late, she stopped discussing the matter of hindsight with the system. Instead, she asked: "Li Sier can raise a Gu, so how long does it take for her to raise a Gu? Or can she develop it casually?"
"Ding! You need to choose the right insect to raise a Gu, and the feeding process is difficult. Even experts in Gu cultivation have times when they fail, but the chances of failure are different. Li Sier raised the Gu again. The simplest crying Gu takes ten days, the parasitic Gu takes two months, and the concentric Gu takes one year. In addition, raising the Gu must be raised with the owner's blood."
"That's good." Su Xueyun curled her lips and directly applied a weak medicine to Li Sier. Li Sier would not get up from the bed for a long time in the future. She didn't believe that Li Sier could choose a worm to raise a gu pot with blood.
After that, Su Xueyun released his spiritual power and searched Tong's house inside and outside, throwing all Li Sier's Gu into the space. In fact, there were not many, only a dozen. According to the system, this was the result of Li Sier's eight years of raising him.
This trip was a great harvest, and Su Xueyun returned to the bedroom with a refreshing spirit. On the second day, she selected two nannies from the palace who were good at serving pregnant women and sent them to the Tong family, saying that they were raising the baby for Xiao Hesheli. The Tong family knew that Li Sier had entered the palace once and offended Su Xueyun. Seeing that Su Xueyun had given the precious medicinal herbs to the last time, she was obviously supporting Xiao Hesheli, and they all knew it. Tong Guowei and his wife were more determined to get rid of Li Sier, so that their son and daughter could not have a rift over Li Sier.
As a result, Longkodo looked unexpectedly this time. Instead, he said that Su Xueyun was thinking about his family and gave Xiao Hesheli a chance to enter the palace. Thank Su Xueyun. Xiao Hesheli thought he was mocking her, but he looked carefully and Longkodo was very normal, which surprised the Tong family.
To be continued...
