Chapter 5【Long road ahead】

[System: Celebrity collection schedule, Xuan Guo, Ji Xing, Lei Quan, Gu Changsheng, Ran Qing]

[System: Character experience progress, 0.5%]

[System: Task completion progress, 0.1%]

"What's the matter, the progress of the task hasn't moved at all." Xuan Le lay on the bed, looking through the system in her mind with her eyes closed.

In the collection of celebrities, the Xuanguo illustrated book is lit up, and there are many slots arranged according to the number plates. Currently, the names and pictures are displayed for the fifth character Ji Xing, the sixth Lei Quan, and the No. 11 Ran Qing.

Gu Changsheng's name appeared, but there was no corresponding picture yet.I guess it was because I hadn't seen anyone yet.

So Gu Guoxiang is still alive?

Xuan Le went back to the main menu to click the hidden function, but there was still no movement.

[Friendly reminder: The character level is not enough]

Tsk.Xuan Le smacked her mouth, although she knew that there were some urgent matters, she couldn't control herself to click the hidden button.Every time I enter the page, I will click it first, and I feel a little discouraged when I see the sentence that the level is not enough.

Xuan Le clicked on system maintenance again.

[System: The latest version of CH3.5, no maintenance and upgrade required]

Xuan Le flipped through all the pages one by one, and read some gossip and unofficial history in the basic common sense, and did not quit to sleep until sleepiness struck.

This sleep lasted until three poles in the sun before waking up.

When I woke up, there was green smoke in the room, with a fragrance like jasmine in the smoke.It is the twelfth lunar month of winter in Xuan Kingdom, and there will definitely be no jasmine flowers.

Probably the palace people burned some incense.Xuan Le opened her eyes in a daze, turned over, and in her blurred vision, there was a graceful figure sitting at the table in front of the couch, her long sleeves were gently rolled up to reveal her bright wrist, on which was a small jade bracelet , with a slight emerald color in the white jade, elegant and quiet.

The woman has slender fingers, holding a small copper pot in one hand, and a long wooden stick in the other hand to fiddle with something in the copper pot.There is a slight smile on the side face, black hair is coiled up, and a mandarin duck hairpin is particularly conspicuous.

Willow leaf moth eyebrows, almond eyes and vermilion lips, long skirt dragging the floor, tranquil and beautiful.

Lei Youhan.Daughter of Lei Quan, one of Xuan Le's favored concubines, she was conferred the title Concubine Ming because of her good tea and good at gardening.

Concubine Ming is seventeen years old, the same age as Emperor Xuan Le.In the harem, she is considered one of the oldest concubines. If memory is correct, the latest batch of beauties sent at the beginning of this year were only fourteen.

The current Xuan Le has no loli plot. Fortunately, Concubine Ming is only two months younger than herself, so even if she can't be a husband and wife, she can still talk.

[System: Celebrity collection schedule, Xuan Guo, Lei Youhan (Concubine Ming)]

Xuan Le paused, feeling surprised.She is also in the illustrated book?Could it be that he is a powerful person?

"The emperor is awake?" Concubine Ming turned sideways, put down the copper pot in her hand and twirled her skirt, her figure was graceful, her glance and smile were like spring breeze, which made people feel comfortable.

"Wake up." Xuan Le stood up, looked her up and down, "Since you're here, why didn't you wake me up?"

Concubine Ming paused, surprise flashed in her eyes, but her face was still smiling, "I heard Master Ji said that the emperor was tired all night, how dare I disturb you."

Concubine Ming brought the robe and helped Xuan Le put it on. Xuan Le was a little awkward and not good at being kind, so he had to put on the clothes with stiff arms. Concubine Ming went around to tie the rope and belt for him He held back.

"I'll do it." Xuan Le glanced at her, bowed her head and tied her clothes by herself.

Concubine Ming didn't take it seriously, she agreed with a smile, and brought a comb to serve him to comb his hair.

After all, combing hair is a woman's strength, and after a while, the disheveled emperor transformed himself in the mirror.The thin belt of the golden crown, although his face is still pale, looks quite energetic.

"The emperor looks good today." Concubine Ming looked at him left and right, then turned to order the palace servants to have lunch.

After the lunch was over, the palace servants made tea.The house was silent, two charcoal pots were removed from the end, the one under the table was replaced with new charcoal, and the window in the outer room was opened, and the winter wind came rushing in.

The air was fresher, Concubine Ming asked her close maid to bring two cloaks made of rabbit fur, Xuan Le and her put them on, and the two sat under the window but had nothing to talk about.

There was a book about tea on the table, probably Concubine Ming was reading and playing with it before Xuan Le woke up.

Xuan Le had nothing to say, "What's in that copper pot?"

Concubine Ming followed his gaze and found the small copper pot on the side of the table. She smiled, "It's a new gadget brought by the palace servants. Put a small piece of sandalwood in it and burn it. There are a lot of small holes, and if you shake it a lot in the clothes, the clothes will be stained with fragrance."

Xuan Le didn't listen carefully either, she let out an absent-minded murmur, and asked, "Concubine Luo, are you feeling better?"

Concubine Ming sighed, "The family's life and death were unknown overnight, and they cried for a long time."

Xuan Le wondered if she should go and have a look, but Concubine Ming glanced at him again, "Concubine Luo fell asleep crying tired before the concubine came to Shuihai Palace."

Xuan Le said in her heart, then don't go for the time being.

Concubine Ming picked up the book on the table and flipped through it boredly, "I heard that the emperor asked the Minister of the Ministry of War to investigate this case himself?"

Xuan Le reacted, Minister of the Ministry of War?Oh, Lei Quan, Concubine Ming's father.

No wonder he can't react, after all, he is not familiar with people and things.Even though the memories have been imported, those memories are more like photos. When you see people, those photos will be automatically flipped out. Compared with people, you can recognize them. You have to take your time to get used to the name.

Xuan Le nodded, "Concubine Ming thinks something is wrong?"

"Of course not." Concubine Ming was stunned for a moment, "My concubine... thank the emperor for the kindness of the Lei family."

Xuan Le sighed inwardly, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.Gu Changsheng, oh Gu Changsheng, you have done too much evil, and you will get retribution sooner or later.The Lei family is united this time, and I can't protect you either.

Xuan Le's gaze was downcast, Concubine Ming couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so she said cautiously: "Your Majesty...been a little strange since yesterday."

"Ok?"

"I heard from Mr. Ji that the emperor not only took the medicine on time, but also ate all the meals, and... asked for additional meals?" Concubine Ming was curious, "I heard that it was the emperor's decision to thoroughly investigate the matter of the Prime Minister?"

"Hmm." Xuan Le thought to herself, it really was too suspicious.But there is no way, I originally wanted to rely on the Prime Minister of the State to let them adapt slowly, but now the backbone is gone, and if he doesn't move again, he will be crushed and flattened by others.

Thinking of that confident note, Xuan Le still felt a little tight in his chest.

"Concubine Ming." Xuan Le put down the teacup and asked, "Where do the candied desserts in the palace come from?"

"Snacks?" The topic jumps a bit fast, and Concubine Ming didn't realize it for a moment, "It should be... from the dining room, right?"

Seeing Xuan Le frowning, Concubine Ming thought for a while, "A-Jiao must know about this."

She asked the palace servants to pass it on, and after a while the little palace lady named Gillian came over in a hurry.

"All blessings, Your Majesty, and Concubine Ming Jin'an."

"Get up, the emperor wants to know where all the candied desserts in this palace come from?"

Gillian was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had made a mistake, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty! This candied fruit is brewed by a special person. It was originally purchased from outside. The emperor thought it tasted bad, so he specially invited the master to enter the palace. brewing..."

"Don't worry." Concubine Ming chuckled, "The emperor is not going to punish you, you can just say it."

Gillian was puzzled and nodded, "The master enters the palace every three months, and once the brewed candied fruit is formed, it will be sealed immediately for future use."

Concubine Ming nodded and turned to look at Xuan Le.

Xuan Le put her hands on the armrest, thought for a while, "If you want to add something, it must be from the beginning?"

"Naturally." Gillian nodded, "Does the emperor want to eat something new?"

Xuan Le waved her hand and told Gillian to go down.Concubine Ming was puzzled, Xuan Le said: "How many people are there in this palace?"

"This..." Concubine Ming shook her head, "I'm afraid I'll have to send someone to Concubine Chen to ask for the exact number. The emperor forgot? She and Concubine Jing are in charge of the accounts in the palace."

Xuan Le snorted, "What about the Water Calamity Palace?"

"Water Calamity Palace counts master and apprentice, at least it's No. 80." Concubine Ming said: "The emperor has really changed a lot. He speaks kindly, doesn't lose his temper, and even removes the title."

Xuan Le was stunned for a moment, remembering that Xuan Le claimed to be "lonely" all along, which is no different from the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

"I'm lonely... I'm tired of it." The essence of Emperor Xuan Le is to be self-willed and self-reliant.Xuan Le felt that there could be a reason for this.

Sure enough, Concubine Ming was taken aback, but she couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty is really...just now, my concubine even praised you."

Xuan Le smiled, "There are no. 80 people in this hundred, can you manage them carefully?"

"Master Ji is in charge of these people, can you not be careful?" Concubine Ming heard something, "Could it be that someone's hands and feet are not clean?"

"No, no." Xuan Le didn't want to implicate the innocent, so she paused and said, "I still have something to do, if Concubine Ming is fine, let's go to rest."

Concubine Ming stood up in response, bowed her clothes carefully and left.

Knock on the door and come in after the quarterly payment.

"emperor?"

"People from the Water Calamity Palace, are there any newcomers?"

"No." Ji Xing said: "The Water Calamity Palace only uses the elderly, and the newcomers dare not send it casually."

"Are you familiar with them all?"

"Naturally." Ji Xun lowered his head and stared at the floor, "I am responsible for the emperor's food safety. I will check the people who come to serve the emperor before I can stay with you."

Xuan Le leaned back on the chair and stopped talking.

He thought that this matter would not be so easy to investigate, but it is so difficult, it is really...Yu Ziwen, Yu Ziwen, every time you make a move, I am surprised, there are still things in this world that you dare not do, can't do?

It must not be a problem with the dining room that the candied fruit can be delivered.Entering the second palace in March, brewing a batch of candied fruit, he still can't believe that he can choose so accurately at will?If you can really count from the part of the dining room, don't do his national task of great revival, and apply directly to the system to return to re-education.

With his IQ, he won't be able to win in another 100 years.

So the problem must be in the Water Calamity Palace.Xiangye's Mansion can be fine-tuned, and of course Shuihai Palace can, he just thought so but was extremely tired after hearing Ji Xing's answer.

Are they all old people?No newcomers?When did such a deep ambush start?This Emperor Xuan Le is also living a miserable life, there is no one trustworthy around him?

Fortunately, Yu Ziwen didn't want to kill himself, otherwise...it would be impossible to think about.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing him in a daze, Ji Xing couldn't help asking, "Is there something wrong?"

"...No." It was impossible to find out the spy who delivered the news, so naturally his every move was under the surveillance of that person.

The life and death of the Prime Minister of the country is unknown, the court is in chaos, and people who have no one in their hands are being watched everywhere.How to play this game of chess?

"Seasonal salary." He closed his eyes and said, "How many years have you been with me?"

Ji Xing said without hesitation: "The minister entered the palace at the age of four and has been serving the emperor for 13 years now."

"13 years." Xuan Le repeated slowly, and after saying this sentence, he didn't speak again. For a while, there was no sound in the room.Ji Xing even wondered if Emperor Xuan Le had fallen asleep, just when he raised his head, Xuan Le opened his eyes, got up and said: "Let's go, let's go see Concubine Luo."
