The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 40

The oil lights were turned off. People rushed to get up to run their routine on a very cold autumn morning. Some of the maidservants went to the kitchen to prepare food, while some eunuchs were seen cleaning the palace environment by sweeping the courtyard and mopping the floor.

At the moment when the sun started to move, Xie Hongyi woke up from hearing the sound of people sweeping the ground. Still in her underwear, she stepped out and found Yi'er sweeping the dried leaves. Yi'er turned his head when he heard the sound of the door opening. "Mrs, good morning." He said cheerfully.

Xie Hongyi yawned first before replying to Yi'er. Her appearance that just woke up could make everyone hot. "Hmm morning. Where are Ling'er and Wan'er?

"They're preparing breakfast."

"alright. Don't forget after this you guys should practice."

During this time, Xie Hongyi rarely asked his servant to accompany him away because they had to practice every day. After they finished cleaning the courtyard and preparing food, they usually practiced according to Xie Hongyi's instructions. For this week, Xie Hongyi trained them to increase their physical strength and after their bodies were strong enough, Xie Hongyi planned to teach some martial techniques. The sword exercise last week did not produce satisfactory results.

After receiving the approval from Yi'er, Xie Hongyi returned to his room. She opened one by one her clothes, displaying a delicate and also beautiful figure. Her skin was as white as snow, her legs were level as bamboo, her black hair was unraveling like a waterfall, making her figure more charming than other women, but unfortunately Huang Long had not been interested. Uh, what exactly was he thinking? Xie Hongyi patted his own cheeks. He must have been unconscious from waking up.

Behind the wall of his room, there was a round bathtub filled with warm water that Wan'er had prepared. Xie Hongyi stuffed his body into the tub and let out a satisfied sigh.

It's not bad to live life as a mistress.

The system that was also already awake, curled up above Xie Hongyi's head. He doesn't like water very much. So he carefully held his tail so as not to be exposed to splashes of water.

Xie Hongyi suddenly made a sound. "System, who exactly is the villain in this story?" He was very curious about the person who became the greatest villain in the novel. In the passage he read only told about Huang Long's struggle to rise up and take revenge.

The system above his head answered lazily. "Do you want to know? This information requires 100 points to exchange."

Xie Hongyi's face turned black. "No. Wait for me to complete this mission."

Free to ask the system. 100 points? He doesn't have any. The point he has now is - 150.

After she put on her clothes, as she said yesterday, Xie Hongyi went to meet the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother's residence is quite far from its place.

Xie Hongyi stood before the Empress Dowager who was still in luxurious appearance. "Concubine Xie saluted the Queen Mother."

"Sit. Tell me, what brought you here?"

Xie Hongyi immediately said his goal was to come here without much further ado. "Before, I apologized if what I said would hurt the Queen Mother's heart. Did the Queen Mother have a missing child who has not been found?"

The Queen Mother's face changed. A look of sadness was clearly visible on his face. "That's right."

"A few days ago, I drowned in a lake. Before I fainted, I saw a human bone that seemed to be about five years old."

Xie Hongyi could not possibly show the identification test result paper. So, he could only rely on his verbal abilities to convince the Queen Mother.

Chen'er's age when she went missing was five years. The Queen Mother's heart skipped a beat as she heard this information. "Is what you're saying true? If you're lying, you know what the consequences are?"

Xie Hongyi's voice was full of certainty. "I dare die if this thing I'm saying isn't true."

Looking at Xie Hongyi who said confidently, it was somehow the Queen Mother that she believed him. Without saying any dubious statements to Xie Hongyi, the Queen Mother made a loud voice. "In that case, quickly order some people to lift the skeleton!" The queen mother gave orders to the servant beside her.

The waiter then ran out very quickly. He was also very nervous when he heard Xie Hongyi say that. She knows how much grief the Queen Mother experienced when she lost her child. The case of the future crown prince was not investigated further by order of the Emperor, her own husband. That is what made the Queen Mother lose faith in her husband.

If the skeleton belonged to her son, Chen'er, the Queen Mother would have been happy to have found her missing child, and sad to have met after her son died. It is better to leave a trace than nothing.

After the lake was submerged, they found scattered human skeletons. They also found a piece of cloth, and a jade slip. When lifted to the surface, the Queen Mother cried. He was sure that the skeleton belonged to Chen'er, because the jade found along with the skeleton was his that was given to Chen'er back then. "My son!" The Queen Mother was hysterical and then fainted. The Queen Mother's body was immediately sustained by some of her servants.

The Queen Mother sat on her bed, her face still pale and making her look weak.

"I'm so grateful to Consort Xie. If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't have found Chen'er forever."

Xie Hongyi replied in the tone of a subordinate who heard the praise from his master. "Suri's mother doesn't have to be shy. Then I say goodbye first. Take care of your health, the Queen Mother must rest."

"Go." Xie Hongyi left the Queen Mother's residence.

Xie Hongyi was very grateful that the people here were easy to believe, with no one doubting it.

"Congratulations on completing the mission. 300 Points have been added to your account, minus 150. Total current points: 150 points. Congratulations on reaching Senior level 4. System and some components will be upgraded." Before Xie Hongyi cheered for the pleasure of earning points, his head seating the system suddenly weighed down. Once upgraded, the system turns into a pig!

Xie Hongyi looked at the small pink animal in his eyes. He then commented. "Too ugly. Change your form before you make my eyes hurt."

The system said sadly. "I can only now transform into two forms."

"Currently? Can you turn into another form?"

"When level max, I can transform into any form."

"Then turn into a fox again." The system heavily obeyed Xie Hongyi. "This is better." Xie Hongyi said happily as he embraced the system.

News of the discovery of the body belonging to the previous crown prince, expanded like a mushroom that spread spores. Within a day, the news reached the entire Southern Empire and gave rise to some unconfirmed public opinion. Some say that this is a conspiracy, some say that it was a regular accident. The absence of a Palace party to mention the truth made many people continue to speculate.

***

Prince Jue walked while being supported by the crutches that Xie Hongyi gave him yesterday. He took a walk around the Palace grounds, with Nanxi following him from behind.

In the past, Prince Jue was a quiet child and rarely came out of his residence. But for some reason since Xie Hongyi had accompanied her, her children's instincts slowly surfaced. Like a child in general, now he likes to play and roam.

Coincidentally at that time, Prince Jue met the healer who treated him yesterday. The healer who saw Prince Jue walking while holding a strange object, could not help but ask. "Prince, what do you hold in your hand?"

Xie Hongyi did indeed give a modern designed crutch, made of iron and pads that stuck up his armpits, so it looked strange in the eyes of the first person to see it.

Prince Jue also initially felt strange when he first saw the crutches. However since it was an item that Xie Hongyi had given him, Prince Jue happily accepted it. He truly regarded Xie Hongyi as an important person to him. It also helped him a lot to walk. "Mom called it something that helps me walk." Prince Jue said the sentence he heard from Xie Hongyi.

The physician was clearly astonished by the 'Mother' that Prince Jue mentioned. Seeing the healer's forehead frowning, Nanxi immediately informed. "That's Consort Xie."

After his curiosity was answered, the healer was again astonished to see Prince Jue's broken leg wrapped in two pieces of wood. He asked curiously. "Then your leg?"

This time, Nanxi was the one who answered the physician's question. "Consort Xie did that. He said that it could straighten his bones."

Re-straightening a broken bone? The physician was one of those people who was very medically insane. He was very fond of finding new methods in his treatment. The doctor then said carefully. "What if Prince Jue comes with me? I'll give you tanghulu and candy if the Prince's willing."

If his fellow healers saw this new method of treatment, they would definitely be surprised!

Before Nanxi raised an objection out of concern for Prince Jue's condition, the little ana quickly replied.

"I want to!" Who is a kid who doesn't like sweet food?

Then he added. "Mom says, we must not reject one's good intentions."
