System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system

And where did our imperial concubine go?

Please look at the ghost figure following the eunuch who is delivering dinner in the imperial kitchen.

That’s right, our imperial concubine is hungry. At this moment, her soul is following the little eunuch. She can smell it but cannot eat it.

Yinshan Du and Pu Tong, who had hurried out to look for ghosts, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Xuzhou Jiao floating behind the little eunuch.

The young eunuch was shocked to see Yinshandu suddenly appear in front of him, and knelt down hurriedly: "Long live His Majesty!"

Yinshandu looked at the pitiful Xuzhoujiao following behind him and sighed deeply: "What are you holding in your hand?"

"Your Majesty, it's date cake."

"Stay here. From now on, ask the imperial kitchen to send a portion of cakes to the Qinzheng Palace every day."

"By the way, please tell the imperial kitchen to serve the meal!"

After saying this, he deliberately glanced at Jiao who was not far away, then turned around and went back to the Qinzheng Hall.

Tong took the plate from the young eunuch and signaled him to leave.

Watching the young eunuch walk away, Xuzhou Jiao hurriedly ran a few steps to catch up with Pinggong, and the first thing she said was to eat: "Pinggong, you must protect this plate well. I have been following you just now. Smell it, it smells good, right!"

"My queen, if you are hungry, you can tell me and His Majesty. You ran away on your own, and His Majesty and I were terrified."

"Look, His Majesty is still angry with you!" Pugong gestured to Xuzhou Jiao to look forward.

Just now, His Majesty and he discovered that there was no trace of the Queen in the entire Qinzheng Hall. They were so scared that they broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that the Queen might meet with an accident if she went out on her own.

After searching for a while, who would have thought that the queen would be attracted away by a plate of snacks.

Xu Zhoujiao quickly ran forward, smiling playfully, "I'm just too hungry. I'm sorry, Brother Xiaodu, I won't run around anymore."

Seeing that Yinshandu was still sulking and not talking, Xuzhou Jiao was going to play dirty: "You can't blame me. You've been talking for so long, I'm hungry, and you don't know how to take care of me. I'm still growing!"

Yinshan Du glanced at her and said, "Haha, I've never seen anyone who still needs to grow at this age. Do ghosts also need to grow?"

But Xu Zhoujiao understood his look and immediately became furious: "What's wrong with ghosts! You are not a ghost, how can you understand us!"

Yinshan Du just watched her jump high quietly.

Xuzhou Jiao chuckled: "That date cake is so fragrant, hehehe."

Yinshan Du couldn't get angry anymore and quickened his pace: "Do you still want to eat? If you don't leave quickly, I will eat all your date cakes."

Xu Zhoujiao cheered happily behind him and waved to him to follow.

At this moment, Yinshan Du felt that he was truly free from his shackles and was living a real life with flesh and blood. It was so great!

Tong was really resourceful. He set up three incense sticks for Xuzhou Jiao on the long table and used the entire table as an offering table for Xuzhou Jiao. The three of them ate without any taboo.

What are you afraid of? If you can't solve the system, you will die anyway. Now you are just putting up an altar in advance.

After finishing her meal, Xu Zhoujiao sat against Yinshan Ferry without any image, and kept muttering that the date cake she had just eaten was delicious.

Tonggong also nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, it's really delicious."

Yinshan Du smiled with satisfaction and handed a cup of tea to Xuzhou Jiao: "Since Jiaojiao and the Taoist priest both like him, transfer this cook to the Qinzheng Palace."

"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty!"

Just smile slyly, and you can eat for free in a clear and open manner.

"Your Majesty, it's too late. I should leave the palace." When Pu Tong heard the bell ringing at the hour of Xu, he immediately stood up and bowed to take his leave.

At this time, Eunuch Desheng was outside the door asking for a meeting.

Yinshandu stretched out his hand to signal Tonggong to sit down first: "Xuan."

Eunuch Desheng walked in with small steps and said, "Your Majesty, the chief eunuch just reported that Xiao Chengzi's body will be out of the palace after the hour of Hai, and Xiao Xianzi wants to go with him to see him off for the last time."

After the court session, Yinshan Du specifically instructed De Sheng to take Xiao Xianzi out of the Ye Ting and hand him over to the care of the eunuch chief, and to severely punish the Ye Ting chief.

Now Xiao Xianzi is going to see Xiao Chengzi off for the last time. The chief eunuch cannot make the decision and can only ask De Sheng for instructions.

Yinshan Du was slightly stunned and turned to look at Xuzhou Jiao who was leaning against him.

Xu Zhoujiao was also confused for a moment. Yes, Xiao Chengzi was going back to his parents.

Xu Zhoujiao is no longer the aggrieved girl in the morning court. Now she no longer resents Xiao Chengzi. In essence, this is her fate. Xiao Chengzi was implicated innocently. He has been trying to balance protecting his family and her. Even if Xiao Chengzi did not agree to Mei Yan, she would not be able to escape the fate, and in the end she would drag down Xiao Chengzi's family.

He had been eager to see his family again, and kept practicing calligraphy and writing letters to them, but for some reason he never received a reply.

Now that he had confessed his mistakes, Xuzhou Jiao no longer had any reason to feel resentful.

She told Yinshan Du that she also wanted to see him off, to see off the cute and silly little Orange in Changle Palace.

Yinshandu understood her idea: "Okay, Master Pu, you can go with us."

"I accept the decree."

Pu Tong looked at Xu Zhou Jiao who was walking beside him and nodded implicitly: "Please ask Master Desheng to lead the way."

"Master, please follow me."

Desheng led the way, followed closely by Xuzhoujiao and Pugong.

Little Chengzi was still placed in the shabby little room in the palace, and Little Xianzi knelt beside him to help him tidy up his clothes.

There were very few things in the whole room, just a bed, a tattered table, and two stools with legs of different heights. The bed only had a thin quilt.

According to Desheng's description, Xiao Xianzi was the only one who was banished to the palace. Xiao Chengzi took the initiative to stuff money in, and the servants in the palace thought he was mentally ill. This room was often haunted, so it was assigned to Xiao Chengzi. There was nothing in the room originally, and Xiao Chengzi helped others to find things one by one.

The chief steward of the palace saw that Xiao Chengzi had a good appearance and repeatedly asked Xiao Chengzi to serve him. It was Xiao Chengzi who risked his life to save him. Because of offending the chief steward of the palace, the two of them had a hard time. Later, Xiao Chengzi started to use Mei Yan's name to talk about things, and then the chief steward of the palace did not dare to bully them anymore.

Although the bullies were gone, life in the Ye Ting was too hard. Xiao Xianzi's health was too poor and showed no signs of improvement. Xiao Chengzi tried hard to work harder so that he could have more rest. However, Xiao Xianzi didn't want him to work alone, so he continued to work despite his sick body. The two poor little creatures lived in the Ye Ting, relying on each other, for three years.

"The time has come. It's time for Little Orange to leave the palace."

The eunuch from the Bulu Court came to report: "Please leave now, everyone."

Desheng, Xuzhoujiao, Pugong and Xiaoxianzi escorted Xiaochengzi on his last journey.

Because they were not allowed to walk into brightly lit places for fear of disturbing the important people, everyone walked to remote corners. The weak moonlight shining through the leaves on the palace road seemed particularly eerie, as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at you in the darkness. The long sound of the wind carried the sound of footsteps to see off this young life.

Outside the palace, Xiao Chengzi's parents and brothers were standing outside the door waiting for him.

Their faces were lowered, and an irresistible sorrow was revealed all over their bodies. When they heard the sound of wheels rolling, they all raised their heads. Among them, a middle-aged man stood up and saluted to them in a servile manner.

He stared at the white cloth on the cart, his face filled with heavy sadness.

"Are you Xiao Chengzi's family members?" The sharp voice of the eunuch from Buluyuan broke the silence of the night.

"That's exactly what Caomin is."

"Little Orange was framed..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tong Gong: "Xiao Chengzi died because he did something wrong in the palace."

Just now, Xu Zhoujiao didn't want Xiao Chengzi's crime to be announced in front of her family, so she hurriedly grabbed the corner of Pu Tong's clothes. She didn't want this family to live in fear in the next life.

Tong Ping completely understood what she meant, interrupted the eunuch from Buluyuan and took over the rest of the work.

"Xiao Chengzi is a decent person, so the noble man allowed him to go home for burial."

"After I perform a ritual to pray for his soul to rest in peace, you can take him home. I am the new director of the Imperial Observatory, and this is also what the noble one wants."

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Xu Zhoujiao's gratitude towards him.

Upon hearing this, the two old men immediately supported each other and stepped forward, kneeling with all their family members, saying in a mournful voice: "Thank you very much for letting us off, and thank you very much, sir. We already knew that when San'er said in the letter that he had done something wrong and wanted to atone for his sins, my husband and I knew this would be the result. Thank you for not making a fuss about San'er, thank you."

The little clam, who was kneeling beside the corpse, heard them talking about the letter, raised his head and shouted: "Since you have received so many letters, why don't you reply to him? Do you know that he has been waiting for your letters? He thought you had abandoned him, he thought he..."

Little Clam covered his mouth and tried to control his emotions. These were Little Orange's family, and there were some things he couldn't say.

An old lady with unfocused eyes replied with tears in her voice, "Sir, it's not that we don't want to reply to him. Each word costs one tael of silver. We will only give it to him if he writes fifty words. Fifty words means fifty taels of silver. I can't afford to reply. I really can't afford to reply. My third son, it's because I'm useless."

Tears kept streaming down her face. Because she was blind, she didn't even know in which direction her son's body was. The pain of losing her son in old age left her in endless darkness.
