The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 5

The next day, when the sun was as high as bamboo, a eunuch from the palace came to Xie Hongyi's residence.

After paying his respects, the eunuch said that he was sent by Huang Long to compensate Xie Hongyi for the unsubstantiated allegations yesterday. He said that he would take care of the new maid for Xie Hongyi.

Then at noon, Xie Hongyi and a eunuch named Zhu Ge went to the servant shelter.

Xie Hongyi watched closely the several people kneeling before him.

Last night he thought about it carefully. Anyway, he had to choose the waiter very carefully. He did not want to have a servant who turned out to be a spy.

Seeing the many prospective maids standing before him, Xie Hongyi made a sound. "Eunuch Zhu, can I choose more than one servant?"

"Of course Madam. You can choose anyone." Obviously the eunuch.

Xie Hongyi realized that he was living in a harsh feudal age, let alone that he was in a palace, where anyone could kill him easily. Hence, he would choose a few servants and make them a protector in the future.

After thinking for a long time, Xie Hongyi finally chose three servants.

Xie Hongyi brought the three people to his residence.

"I won't demand much of you. The most important thing you have to remember is that you must be loyal to me." Xie Hongyi said after they arrived.

"Before that I want you to swallow this." Xie Hongyi gave a green-colored pill to each of his servants.

That pill is a loyalty pill. Whoever ingests the pill will always be loyal to the giver, for the pill is a poison that will be activated if the giver activates it. So, there is no other choice but to be faithful than to die with a decayed crushed body. And Xie Hongyi had to give up all his points for exchanging the item. But since this was the first use of points gained from the mission, the system kindly replaced all of its points used.

The three looked at each other, then swallowed the pill.

Xie Hongyi named them Ling'er, Wan'er, and Yi'er.

"Prepare, from tomorrow, you have additional duties besides serving me. Now go to the west side. There are some empty rooms. For the time being I want you to clean it up because that place will be where you live." Xie Hongyi gave them orders. Then he turned around to leave.

"Good Mistress." The servants obediently walked towards the west.

Xie Hongyi will teach the three what he learned in the military and basic medical skills. He will also imitate the actions of criminals, namely making his servant a spy.

Today is autumn. The weather is so windy and the air temperature of the terrace is cold.

Xie Hongyi was walking around the palace wearing a long pink dress. Behind him, the three new servants followed Xie Hongyi's tail.

The temple was not large, but even lay people knew that it was very beautiful. The exterior of the temple is decorated with two statues of the Goddess on either side.

There were no stairs leading to the front of the temple like the one he had seen.

In his previous life, he was not a religious person, but he still believed in God.

Xie Hongyi told his servants to stand guard outside while he entered the temple.

Xie Hongyi was greeted with a very pungent aroma of incense. He also saw a little boy kneeling in front of a pool of burning incense. A coffin was seen lying in the room in front of him.

The boy had long hair tied with jade, wore a red shirt, and was heard crying.

If only Xie Hongyi's sense of hearing wasn't sharp, perhaps he would have regarded the sound of crying as the hissing of the wind.

Curiosity also made Xie Hongyi step up to take a closer look.

[Information. Name: Huang Jue. He was the son of concubine Li. The mission has been triggered. Please comfort Huang Jue until he is no longer sad.]

Suddenly a systematic sound buzzed in his eyes.

As it turned out, he was Huang Long's first child, Prince Jue. According to the story, he is about 5 years old now. Xie Hongyi had no further information about her as she rarely appeared in the stories. Xie Hongyi walked up to him and knelt next to the boy.

Huang Jue realized that there was someone nearby, but because he was still sad, he ignored that person.

After praying for a while, Xie Hongyi then looked at the child's face. His expression could not be explained.

The child's skin is white, a little reddish, his eyes are wide typical of small children, and the lips are thin red. It's so cute! Moreover, her slightly pottery cheeks made Xie Hongyi's hands itch to want to pinch her.

A small sound was still heard from the boy's throat. Xie Hongyi tried to comfort him. "All who die cannot live again, can only be wept with bitter tears and hearts. He went back to the real owner, to a place of peace. So don't be sad, what she needs there isn't your tears and the sound of your crying."

It seemed like Xie Hongyi had managed to attract the attention of Prince Jue. The boy stopped crying then looked at Xie Hongyi with his reddened little eyes

"Then, what does my mom need?" Prince Jue said in a hoarse voice.

Xie Hongyi looked at him gently. As much as possible he refrained from stroking his head. "He needs only prayers from those he loves. Like you could send him a prayer every day before you go to sleep."
