The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 48

Looking at Xie Hongyi, Xiao Zhang casually said. "It seems you already know who I am."

Xie Hongyi immediately said. "You fellow Northmen, but why did you kill General Wu?"

Xiao Zhang did not reply and instead asked Xie Hongyi. "How do you know my identity?"

Xie Hongyi pointed at the object in Xiao Zhang's hand. "The token belongs to General Wu, but why is it in your hands? This is enough evidence to show you're a Northman."

"Am I right?"

Xiao Zhang did not reply and instead attacked Xie Hongyi. He thought, this woman knows her true identity for that she should cover her mouth by killing him.

Xie Hongyi was ready with Xiao Zhang about to attack.

Not long after they fought, the sound of footsteps outside the door sounded. The sound of the step was not just one person, but there were several people stepping towards them.

When they heard the sound of the door opening, regardless of what Xie Hongyi had in mind, he pulled Xiao Zhang to hide under the bed.

They both hid their breath on the cold floor.

Xie Hongyi heard Huang Long's voice reign. "Find him!" Then the sounds of people moving things sounded.

The plush-looking visible footwear was in their view.

Xie Hongyi covered Xiao Zhang's mouth which was about to scream.

Xiao Zhang's hand was stepped on by Huang Long.

Huang Long heard a gasp from under the bed. He then lowered his body to see what was under the bed.

The hearts of the two people under the bed were pounding. Cold sweat began to wet their forehead. They nervously watched Huang Long's body slowly align with the floor.

You know what it's like to be on the edge of a cliff and be on the edge of death? This is the situation that the two people in hiding are in.

Other than being nervous, Xie Hongyi also thought of one thing. Circumstances like this, Huang Long like going to find his wife cheating.

Didn't I think too much? Xie Hongyi asked inwardly.

Suddenly the sound of falling things was heard. Xie Hongyi and Xiao Zhang seemed to get their breaths when Huang Long's body, which was a little more about the two of them, disappeared. The two then heard Huang Long making a sound. "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, this cat dropped something." Then there was the sound of footsteps moving away from the bed.

Aiao! You are my savior angel! Xie Hongyi quietly sighed in relief.

Apparently at the time they were fighting earlier, Xiao Zhang accidentally threw the token.

"He really was the one who killed Wu Zhantian. Maybe he knew he'd be caught, so he ran away. Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Huang Long's voice sounded cold. "Find him in the palace. That guy definitely won't go far."

Some people answered simultaneously. "Good!"

After making sure there were no more people in the room, Xie Hongyi and Xiao Zhang came out from under the bed.

Xie Hongyi leisurely sat on a chair and looked at the wary Xiao Zhang. "I won't divulge any secrets about your identity."

Leaving the surprised Xiao Zhang, Xie Hongyi's hand grabbed something behind his wide sleeves. He threw it on the bed. "Wear it and disguise yourself as a eunuch until you're gone." The thing that Xie Hongyi threw was a skin mask.

Xie Hongyi was about to get up when Xiao Zhang asked him. "Why?"

Xie Hongyi replied. "Seeing your high martial will and daring to kill an influential person in the Northern Kingdom, you are definitely not an ordinary person. Killing you is a detriment. I want to make you owe me."

Xiao Zhang was stunned. To his astonishment, he shook to the point of watching Xie Hongyi leave.

The next morning, it was still cold. The snow grains fell slowly, piling up on the roof of the building. Although it was still morning and cold, it did not discourage Xie Hongyi from going out of the Palace.

But before that, Xie Hongyi had to go to meet Huang Long first to deliver food. He is now responsible for taking care of Huang Long's consumption. He certainly could not refuse the Emperor's orders.

Xie Hongyi knocked on Huang Long's work door. After hearing a voice from within, Xie Hongyi walked in while carrying a tray containing his homemade food.

After greeting Huang Long, Xie Hongyi placed the tray on the table in a loud voice, then was about to leave. But, Huang Long's voice forced him to stop. "Wait." Huang Long placed the paper he was reading on the table, then looked at Xie Hongyi. "Sit down, there's something I want to talk to you about."

Xie Hongyi quietly sighed then sat down in front of the table. Not long after Xie Hongyi sat down, Huang Long also caught up sitting next to him. The man took out a bowl of soup, placed it before Xie Hongyi. He also added some rice fists with chopsticks into the soup. "Eat."

Xie Hongyi. Meanwhile, Huang Long took food for himself.

There was only the sound of ceramic clinks heard from Huang Long's study, unlike the usual ones that were always quiet.

After they were done, Huang Long asked. "You know who exactly is the person you helped from the black market?"

Xie Hongyi's hand that was about to tidy up the tableware suddenly came to a halt. He only kept silent because he knew he could not lie to Huang Long. "Why are you protecting her?" Huang Long asked grimly. He knew last night Xie Hongyi had visited Xiao Zhang and hid him.

Xie Hongyi looked directly into Huang Long's eyes. They both stared at each other. Xie Hongyi said with confidence. "Your Majesty, I am doing this for the Southern Kingdom. I can't tell you the specific reason. But trust me, he won't be a threat to this country."

"What's your guarantee?"

"My life."

Huang Long gasped. He turned his eyes the other way. He hasn't spoken for a while.

Seeing that Huang Long did not reply, Xie Hongyi said: "Today I also want to ask for permission to go out to take care of something."

Only then did Huang Long look back at Xie Hongyi, this time with a gentle gaze until it made Xie Hongyi slightly shudder. "Go."

After Xie Hongyi made it out of Huang Long's study, he asked the system pad. "What does the protagonist look at mean? System, he can't possibly be interested in me?"

The system had not been able to answer when they heard the noise of people. They stared at the source of the sound. There, there were some beautiful women who were having a fight.

"I got here first, so I have the right to see His Majesty the Emperor first."

"No! Your title is lower than mine so I should have met His Majesty the Emperor."

"My lady just arrived this morning, she should have been the one to meet His Majesty first!"

Consort Chen's sister, Consort Zhuo and a girl with two lips on her head were seen fighting fiercely.

Xie Hongyi glanced at Huang Long behind the door. He must have realized what was happening, but there was no sign he was going to come out.

Xie Hongyi did not understand the thoughts of these concubines. They knew Huang Long didn't care, but was still looking for a way to get his attention.

One of the most beautiful looking women said softly. "Ah Yi, come on, let this Jie-jie meet His Majesty."

After the woman spoke, the system suddenly said: "Character information: Name: Nalan Tanyi, princess of the Western Kingdom."

She is the female protagonist in the synopsis! It turned out that Nalan Tanyi entered the Palace in this way. Xie Hongyi admitted that Nalan Tanyi was indeed very beautiful. It really deserves to be the lead!

A girl who seemed to be Nalan Tanyi's servant, said in a loud voice. "Can't! Madam, you just arrived this morning, it should be us who have the right to see His Majesty!"

Xie Hongyi had no intention of getting involved, which was why he quickly slipped away.

***

The Queen Mother was agitated. It had been a few days, but there was no development at all regarding his plans of making grandchildren. Huang Long was really not interested in the newly sent concubines, not even a single glance at the beauty of the newly arrived Western kingdom.

The Queen Mother sighed while holding her temple. There was no other choice, he had to use this way.

"Call Concubine Chen Xiang over here." Tell the Queen Mother to the servant beside her.

"Good." Then the maid came out of the Queen Mother's room.

Not long after, the maid returned while carrying Concubine Chen.

Consort Chen still looked beautiful, wore winter clothes made of silk, and her face was covered in a blush of pearls. "Concubine Chen saluted the Queen Mother."

"Hmm, sit. Do you know why you were called here?"

Concubine Chen shook her head not knowing why her aunt was calling. "I said, I don't know."

The Queen Mother got up from her seat. He approached Consort Chen and slipped something into his hand. The Queen Mother whispered. "Tomorrow at night, I will arrange for His Majesty the Emperor to sleep with you."

Concubine Chen stared at the fine jade bottle she was holding. He knows the contents of the bottle. "Auntie, why didn't Chen Xinjing do it?

"Your sister has just entered the palace and it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is not interested in her. You've been a concubine for a long time and it's better that you carry the Emperor's child."

"But tomorrow night is the fifteenth day, His Majesty the Emperor should go to the Empress."

The Queen Mother snorted. "Humph, the boy won't go to his place. So, tomorrow night I will arrange for the Emperor to go to your place. But, before that you have to put this powder on his dinner."

Concubine Chen tightly clenched her hands. Inwardly he did not want to, but he could not refuse orders from his aunt.
