Chapter 169: Grasping the fate of the system
Chapter 169: Grasping the fate of the system
Lai Xi recalled the scene of His Majesty being kicked out of the room last night: "Well, Lord Wen, do you want a guard to go with you?"
"No, I can't walk far."
Wen Hemian rejected his proposal.
Lai Xi understood and said no more.
It was scorching hot at the moment, so Wen Hemian asked for an umbrella and walked towards a remote place in the palace. He had no specific destination, so he walked around a few places and, as expected, he met a few secret guards jumping around.
Wen Hemian raised his umbrella and looked over: "What are you guys doing?"
The palace is large, with many remote corners, and cats are extremely sensitive creatures. They have been wandering in the palace for a long time and are wary of visitors. In particular, His Majesty has given a special order that cats must not be harmed in any way, so it is particularly difficult for the secret guards to catch them.
After two days, the secret guards were almost exhausted.
Wen Hemian suddenly appeared in front of them, and the secret guards were startled: "Wen Wen Wen Wen, Master Wen!"
"Ah."
Wen Hemian responded with a smile, and her eyes swept over the secret guards who were trying to cover up their true intentions: "Someone come and tell me, what are you doing?"
The secret guards were all gloomy and sad. They ran into Lord Wen the day after being punished. What terrible luck they had.
But if they didn't say anything, Wen Hemian would guess it himself: "Catching cats? And His Majesty also ordered not to tell me, right?"
The secret guards looked at her dryly.
Now that you have said all this, what else do they have to say?
"It's okay. Tell me what's going on with His Majesty. I'll take care of it."
Xie Lang is the emperor, and no one dares to disobey the emperor's orders. Since Wen Hemian wants to ask, he can't let them be the ones to bear the consequences. He should take the responsibility on himself.
It has come to this point. It doesn't matter whether the secret guards admit it or not. They simply push their leader to explain: "Replying to Lord Wen, it is just as you think."
They couldn't understand why His Majesty asked them to catch the cat. It didn't seem like a punishment, and he specifically asked them not to let Lord Wen know. It seemed strange no matter how they looked at it.
"Okay, I understand. You guys keep busy."
After getting the answer he wanted, Wen Hemian didn't want to cause them any trouble and walked back with an umbrella.
It is very difficult for a person to break the worldview.
Before she came here, she would never have imagined that there really were things like systems and world consciousness in the world. Xie Lang was extremely smart and had grasped the key just based on the doubts in his heart.
Wen Hemian didn't think that he didn't trust her. On the contrary, he trusted her very much.
So without saying it explicitly, he wanted to find out the truth himself.
It was reasonable that the system was seen as abnormal after pretending to be a cat and bumping into her feet so many times.
How can I hide the secret from the system and the world rules and let Xie Lang know?
Wen Hemian was troubled by this problem.
And let alone Xie Lang, even she has many things that she hasn't figured out yet.
For example, why did the system choose her? For example, when she left three years ago, was the system behind it?
All of this is still unknown.
……
When Wen Hemian returned to Taiji Hall, Xie Lang had already woken up.
Lai Xi took the umbrella from her hand and quickly ordered someone to bring two bowls of mung bean soup. After walking outside in the sun for so long, Wen Hemian's forehead was covered with sweat.
"Why don't you rest a little longer?"
Wen Hemian looked at him intently and found it very funny.
"I'm not leaving."
"I had a dream."
Xie Lang lowered his eyes, and when she came over, he gently put his arms around her waist and buried his head in her arms, hiding his barely perceptible fragility. He muttered in a muffled voice, "You went to find the secret guards? I knew they were a group of unreliable people..."
"Don't blame them, I asked."
Wen Hemian didn't ask him what he dreamed about. He thought it must not be a good thing, otherwise he wouldn't have looked like that.
"I didn't blame them. Am I so unkind in Han Shuang's eyes?"
Xie Lang defended himself in a low voice.
Wen Hemian said seriously: "Your Majesty, please don't slander me. I didn't say that."
As they were talking, the person who went to the imperial kitchen to bring the mung bean soup came back. Lai Xi took the tray from the palace servant, and saw the scene in the palace with his sharp eyes. He was about to step out, but he felt around, hesitating whether he should go in.
He entered the palace after being castrated very early. Before serving the current emperor, he had seen how the noble ladies in the palace behaved in front of the emperor. Now, the old ideas were completely useless.
Your Majesty has grown from a skinny and downtrodden boy to present day, and Lord Wen has been with him almost all the time. How can this kind of emotion be compared with the relationship between the emperor and his favorite concubine?
Look at His Majesty. He didn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort when being held in Lord Wen's arms.
Lai Xi buried his head and smiled secretly.
It didn't take long for him to be happy before he was coldly punished: "Lai Xi, come over here!"
Lord Wen has already sat on the other side.
Lai Xi understood that he was being taken out on, but he didn't get angry. He quickly took the mung bean soup and put it down, then turned around and left.
The mung beans are boiled until soft, and sugar and ice cubes are added to it. It tastes sweet and refreshing. Drinking half a bowl of it not only makes you feel cool, but also makes you feel comfortable and pleasant.
"I have a feeling it will happen again tonight."
Wen Hemian suddenly said something without any context.
Xie Lang frowned: "Did I disturb you?"
He thought about his own behavior, which might seem incomprehensible to the secret guards.
Wen Hemian shook his head gently: "Not sure, just a hunch."
This way there will be no restrictions. Wen Hemian thought: the judgments of the system and world rules seem to be very rigid.
But it is not necessarily rigid, but it is possible that they are also restricted by something behind the scenes.
"Try it." Xie Lang raised his eyes to look at her, "Master, I want to try it."
Wen Hemian hesitated for a moment and made up his mind: "Then give it a try."
The punishment is terrible, but the unknown is even more terrifying.
If they don't figure out the purpose of the system, both Xie Lang and she will feel uneasy. Besides, Wen Hemian believes that Xie Lang should have the right to know about some things.
It was just their imagination. In the next few days, they were unable to wait for the system to arrive as they had hoped.
The secret guards were busy over the past few days and finally caught all the stray cats in the palace. Most of them were pets of the palace's former masters. The males and females were gathered together to create a litter of kittens, which were then locked up and well raised.
"Is he not coming?"
Wen Hemian was puzzled.
The connection between her and the system has always been a one-way connection. Unless the system actively finds her and stays by her side, she cannot find the system.
According to the system, its existence is a group of data, which can only appear by attaching to other objects.
Wen Hemian sighed and was about to put it aside for the time being when he saw a small furry ball crawling in from the window with difficulty.
It was a kitten, about the size of a palm, and it ran quickly to Wen Hemian with its short legs.
"I'm not saying anything, host, what is your little emperor doing? Why are all the cats in the palace arrested? I finally found this cat that can only crawl out..."
The system cursed.
Wen Hemian narrowed his eyes calmly: "I don't know either. You suddenly came to me. Did something go wrong with the mission?"
"no no."
The system shook its head rapidly, its cat-like eyes showing deep doubts: "The administrator urged me to come and take a look, saying..."
"say what?"
A bony hand reached out and grabbed the system's fate by the neck.
