The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 55

A man said angrily to someone kneeling before him. "Stupid, why did you go to that place? What if someone from the government finds out who you are?"

The two men were in a building away from the crowd. They were all dressed in black and had a sinister look.

"Boss, just calm down. As far as I know, the brothel is rarely visited by the Palace's people."

"Anything can happen! Shit, why are you so stupid?!"

The man no longer answered. He just wanted to find a little pleasure before they did the mission his King gave him.

The angry man seemed to know his thoughts. "Of course it's wrong! You can find some fun if we're back!" Then he sighed as if he wanted to control his anger. "That's it. Since you've made a mistake, we need to go on a mission sooner than planned."

The man who was scolded by her asked. "When?"

"We'll execute the plan before the new year. Tell the others to get ready."

The Queen Mother of course knew that Consort Chen was not successful and instead Consort Xie was sleeping with Huang Long.

But not in the slightest did she not feel happy, since it was Consort Xie, she would not do anything to him.

Concubine Chen Xinjing and Concubine Zhou moved quickly. They started sending someone to frame Xie Hongyi. "Make sure they get news from you." Concubine Chen Xinjing said to a man in black.

The man had a scar on his face that made him look scary. He was appreciating and reaping the silver ingots from Consort Chen Xinjing's hand. "Of course I'll do my job well."

After the man left, Concubine Chen Xinjing and Concubine Zhou chuckled viciously.

"Today it's snowing hard." Xie Hongyi muttered while holding an umbrella. He stared at the pitch-black sky the sign of day was already night.

"Yi'er, get some hot charcoal ready and put it under my bed. I want to take a walk."

Yi'er who was beside him asked. They were now in front of the Lotus Residence. "Mrs, why are you going out? Aren't you afraid of snow ghosts?" It was snowing heavily tonight and the air was getting colder.

He turned to look at Yi'er. "No. You go."

Yi'er wanted to refute, but seeing her Nyonya's gaze, she finally complied.

Xie Hongyi walked out of the residence. The system that had returned to being a fox was comfortably curled up around his neck.

"Your Majesty, the source of the funds given to the officials comes from some of the tributes given by the people. I asked them one by one who gave the money, but they said they didn't know."

Xie Hongyi stopped stepping when he heard a voice.

"You've investigated who the woman in the green building who previously owned the book was?"

"A few days ago, the entertainer was found strangled in his room. I've checked out anyone who's ever been a customer, but there's no one to suspect."

"Continue to find out who owns the book. You go."

"Your Majesty." Then there was the sound of footsteps moving away from there.

Huang Long lifted his warm teacup and took a slow sip. "I know you're there."

Xie Hongyi came out from hiding. He showed me his little tiger teeth. "Hehe, Your Majesty."

Huang Long looked at Xie Hongyi with his mainstay gaze. He suddenly asked. "What do you think?"

Xie Hongyi shrugged his shoulders. "Well, this is a state business. I better not interfere." Looking at Huang Long who seemed to be in no mood to joke around, Xie Hongyi finally gave up. He put down his umbrella then sat down before Huang Long.

They were currently sitting on a gazebo that was near the flower palace with illuminating oil lanterns and a night breeze that was blowing accompanying. Xie Hongyi slightly shuddered as the wind passed through his body.

"I think His Majesty should pay more attention to some officials. Maybe one of them is the culprit. But as I recall, His Majesty could tell the person who was lying, but if that person was a master of deception, he would definitely be able to smoothly tell the lie without being caught. Your Highness, it's not that I underestimated you, but the people who are good at doing that, Your Majesty definitely know what will happen."

People who do this lese majeste should be exterminated. Huang Long must not keep a monkey wearing a hat in his reign.

"Everyone who visits the woman should be suspected."

Huang Long was silent for so long, looking like he was thinking. He then looked the other way. Suddenly he got up and took an umbrella lying in the snow. He turned around and then said: "Let's go home."

Xie Hongyi was stunned. He scanned the sky and saw that the snow was falling more heavily. He smiled and cheerfully said: "Come on!"

For now, the Palace looks safe and peaceful. But everyone knows that this will not last long, and soon something will happen, whether good or bad.

Four days later, a group of monks came to the palace. Huang Long immediately greeted them in the hall.

One of the monks who was the leader of the Yinyang Temple, the largest temple in the Empire, said. "Your Majesty, last night I had a dream that something bad had happened in this Palace."

Huang Long spoke in his trademark tone. "What is Monk Han?"

"Someone in this palace has been possessed by an evil spirit and will cause disaster for the Empire."

There was a concubine Chen Xinjing's man who told the monk about Xie Hongyi's abnormal behavior. At that time, the head monk had predicted this, so the person deliberately directed all the traits at Xie Hongyi.

Surprisingly, it turns out that the evil spirit in the monk's dream turned out to be similar to what the man said. The monks quickly went to the Empire to bring Xie Hongyi so that the evil spirit in his body could be removed.

"Amitabha, Buddha cherished kindness and always loved. For that if allowed, let us bring Consort Xie so that we can eliminate the evil spirit that possessed it."

Huang Long suddenly flinched. His heart is pounding. "Consort Xie?"

"Rubber.

Huang Long said to the eunuch beside him. "Eunuch Zhu, call Consort Xie here."

The one who was called was only Xie Hongyi, but the one who came was instead the entire lady Huang Long. Not to miss Consort Chen Xinjing and Consort Zhou who wanted to see the show Xie Hongyi parted ways with Huang Long. By the time they entered, they smiled at each other.

After all the concubines saluted, Empress Shi asked. "Your Majesty what is this?"

Huang Long did not reply and instead looked at the relaxed-looking Xie Hongyi.

"Amitabha, who is Consort Xie?"

Concubine Chen Xinjing directly pointed at Xie Hongyi. "He."

Xie Hongyi stared at Concubine Chen Xinjing flatly, really wanting to press the F button in honor of Consort Chen Xinjing.

The monk then approached Xie Hongyi. After he arrived before him he scanned Xie Hongyi repeatedly while chanting a spell.

After he finished, the monk said. "Your Majesty, we must bring this woman."

There were two people who were secretly smiling widely.

Huang Long seemed to object. But he did not dare offend the monks. It was all because of his mother. When Shen Wushuang was alive, he advised Huang Long to respect the monks and not to oppose them. When Huang Long asked why, the woman said that a monk had saved her so that she met Huang Long's father. At that time Huang Long asked, why did his mother always defend her father even though the man never gave her happiness? His mother did not answer and just smiled while rubbing her hair. And that question was never answered until he was an adult.

Seeing Huang Long's disrelief, Xie Hongyi was a little pleased. Previously he had asked the system whether he should go with the monks or stay in the Palace. "I'm going to go."

Huang Long looked at Xie Hongyi. "I'll be fine. Your Majesty don't worry." Xie Hongyi blinked one eye at Huang Long which made the man turn red in the face.

His words no doubt had ignited the jealous flames of two people.

Monk Han softly said. "Amitabha, then we ask permission to leave."

Xie Hongyi left with a troupe of monks. But before that, he turned his head in one direction and smiled.

Concubine Chen Xinjing and Concubine Zhou were goosebumps all over her body due to Xie Hongyi's gaze. But they quickly gained control and pretended not to see his gaze.
