The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 95

This incident began when Consort Chen and Empress Dowager were locked up for several days by Chen Guang.

The door they were in was slowly opened. Concubine Chen and Empress Dowager were instantly on alert. They were very careful of everyone who came because everyone was unbelievable.

It was not the servants, guards or confidants Chen Guang had come. On the side of the door was a 16-year-old girl wearing a maid outfit. However Chen Xiang and the Queen Mother knew that she was not the real servant.

"Chen Linxi?" Chen Xiang exclaimed.

Chen Linxi was one of his younger siblings born to a concubine. Chen Linxi's mother died the moment she was born. At that time, Chen Linxi's mother was Chen Guang's favorite concubine. Chen Guang was furious and blamed the infant Chen Linxi because he assumed Chen Linxi had killed his concubine. He also did not acknowledge her as a child and did not care about her affairs. Fortunately, at that moment, there was a kind servant who was willing to take care of him.

Chen Xiang did not have much of an impression with Chen Linxi as they lived in different places. But, Chen Xiang knew how Chen Linxi lived. From childhood, the girl was always bullied, even low-level servants could bully her. They were not afraid of their deeds being known to the people in the Chen family because they knew that Chen Linxi was a wasted child.

They always call it useless, unwanted child, pesky carrier and other names that make heartache.

Because throughout his life he had always been humbled, Chen Linxi's personality was very reclusive. He will be silent when people do evil to him.

Chen Xiang who saw him felt pity. He secretly gave more food and decent clothes to Chen Linxi. At that time, the Queen Mother had entered the Palace and when she visited the Chen Residence, the Queen Mother had always defended Chen Linxi.

However, paper cannot wrap fire. Although Chen Xiang and the Queen Mother were being kind to him, Chen Linxi's life was still bad. But it's okay, he's used to it.

Then at the moment of hearing the Empress Dowager and Chen Xiang being locked up, Chen Linxi was extremely anxious. He wanted to save them both. Chen Linxi did a very reckless thing as well. He pretended to be a servant and gave the guard a meal containing sleeping pills in the vicinity where Empress Dowager and Chen Xiang were locked up. The sleeping drug he got secretly in the market by using the money results of his begging. Yes, the Chen Residence was unwilling to bother giving Chen Linxi the cost of living.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, first brother let's go."

"What do you mean?" The Queen Mother asked.

"I've crippled some of the guards around here."

Chen Xiang and the Queen Mother looked at each other.

"Chen Linxi, can we trust you?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and Brother were very kind to me. I just want to avenge what you did."

Then he added. "Dad, I mean Mr. Chen will attack the Palace in a few days. We have to leave before the attack happens."

Chen Xiang and the Queen Mother were quite familiar with Chen Linxi's character. He will not repay the evil deeds that others have done to him, but he will greatly appreciate every good that is given. For that there was no harm in Chen Xiang and the Queen Mother following Chen Linxi.

"All right."

Chen Xiang and the Queen Mother did not run away to save themselves. They were aware that they had been taken hostage and were afraid that Chen Guang would use them to exchange things with the Palace. So, they'd rather go than be used as a medium of exchange.

The three women then sneaked out of the residence secretly. But the guards who were in the Chen residence could not be underestimated. The guards quickly learned that they had escaped and chased after him.

And now, they were cornered like mice that cats were ready to eat.

The one who was most regretful here was Chen Linxi. If it wasn't him who had invited Chen Xiang and the Queen Mother away, it would definitely not have been like this.

Chen Linxi lowered himself. True what the people said, he was indeed useless.

While waiting for time, something was strange. The guards did not move and instead turned in all directions while being vigilant.

"Who are you? Show yourself!"

Apparently, those guards had been secretly attacked by someone. When the words of the guard leader finished the rumbling sound rang out.

"Capture them and save Empress Dowager and Consort Chen!"

They were the guards of the Palace led by Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi and his troops immediately attacked the guard troops.

Then, a battle in the middle of the forest occurred.

In the moment when no one noticed, there were those who quietly approached Chen Linxi, Chen Xiang and the Queen Mother who were still sitting on the ground. He was one of the palace people. "Your Majesty, come with us quickly."

The man then took the three to a safer place, not far from where the battle took place. They're waiting for the Palace troops to return.

Not too long later, the sound of the sword clashing and shouting stopped. The Queen Mother and the other two were instantly on guard as they did not know whose side had won. If it's the palace side, then their lives are safe. However, if the other party won, the Queen Mother, Chen Xiang and Chen Linxi would have no choice but to become captives again.

The rushing sound of footsteps rang out in the middle of the silent forest. The seconds waiting for the other party to come was the hardest time for them.

Finally, they were able to breathe a sigh of relief because Jiang Zhi was the one who came.

"Your Majesty." Jiang Zhi greeted.

The Queen Mother and Chen Xiang nodded.

Chen Linxi looked at the person leading the Palace guards closely. I don't know what the meaning of his gaze is.

Sensing that someone was staring at him, Jiang Zhi looked back at Chen Linxi. Chen Linxi quickly lowered his head.

"How did you escape?"

"Well, so...." Suri's mother told me what happened to the three.

After listening to what had happened, Jiang Zhi praised Chen Linxi's courage. "Good."

Chen Linxi immediately blushed. In order for no one to notice it, he lowered his head until his chin reached the chest.

Jiang Zhi was originally looking for the existence of a rebel group. They were told that a series of suspicious movements were taking place near the western forest. Then, while they were searching, Jiang Zhi saw a moving light and running footsteps. He went towards that light to check, and he did not expect to meet the Queen Mother, Chen Xiang and another girl being chased. He tried to save them.

"Then, Your Majesty, Consort Chen let's return to the Palace."

They had to leave immediately to treat the Empress Dowager who was hit by an arrow.

During the journey, Chen Linxi had always secretly stolen a glance at Jiang Zhi.When he was caught, Chen Linxi instantly looked away as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Zhi was not so bothered either. Since the rebellion began, his personality slowly changed. Feeling firsthand the experience of being the leader of the squad made his eyes open. He was no longer a Young Master who always played. So, he who usually always returned invitations from women, now became indifferent. This change made Jiang Wei extremely grateful. Finally, the bad boy has returned home.

***

Today was the departure day of Huang Long and Xie Hongyi. Early in the morning they set out in disguise as merchants who were about to cross to the other country to avoid suspicion.

There were several guards from the one that Prince Yu had given to escort them away.

They looked like genuine merchants carrying goods to exchange. However, by the time the carriage was away, there was a sizable army following them. However, the troops took a different path but still one goal. They were relief troops sent from the North.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was very quiet, there was only the sound of a wooden wheel touching the ground heard.

"The protagonist is angry again." Xie Hongyi silently whispered.

Xie Hongyi had such an opinion because he had tried to talk to Huang Long before, the man ignored him. Maybe he was upset by Xie Hongyi's actions last night. But the woman did not feel regretful, even a little funny at the sight of Huang Long's dark face.

Like a cold ferocious cat, the colder he was, the more Xie Hongyi wanted to tease him.

However which Xie Hongyi did not know, Huang Long was not angry, he was just annoyed. He was just pretending to ignore Xie Hongyi.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped abruptly and caused both of them to fall down. Huang Long reflexively protected Xie Hongyi by hugging him. Realizing what he was doing Huang Long quickly pulled his hand. The man silently looked at Xie Hongyi and replied with a typical grin of Xie Hongyi.

"Sorry sir, suddenly in front someone falls." The driver of the train explained.

Hearing that, Xie Hongyi was curious. He then wanted to check. "Your Majesty, I'll see it."

Huang Long simply nodded.

Xie Hongyi then got off the carriage. Like what the coachman said, there was indeed someone lying in the middle of the road blocking them. Xie Hongyi walked up to him.

Xie Hongyi was instantly startled as he approached, the man suddenly stood up. At this moment, Xie Hongyi could clearly see his appearance.

The man was a grandfather who carried a bottle of water in his hand. His wrinkled face was slightly flushed due to the effects of liquor. He looks very energetic.

The old man was very strange. He looked like a grandfather who was about to die, but when no one saw him, the man could jump from a high place unharmed.

Like this time, after he got up, the man immediately jumped up and down. "I fell again."

Realizing that someone was paying attention, the man turned his head and looked back at Xie Hongyi. The man looked at Xie Hongyi for quite a while, before he said, "You came from a faraway place. Your destiny is predetermined, and you can't avoid it even if you try to stay away."

Xie Hongyi froze. What does this old man mean? Did he know Xie Hongyi was from a different world?

"My advice, just accept what you've been given."

"I knew. Thank you for making it clear ."

Xie Hongyi said flatly. If this man knew Xie Hongyi was different, he would definitely not be an ordinary person. Xie Hongyi did not want to be related to this man, which was why he left her.

Like a child, the old man grumbled at the distant Xie Hongyi. "Basic to young people! I who have lived a long time just want to tell you but you do not receive kindness. Humph, it sucks."

However Xie Hongyi did not hear it as he had already boarded the carriage.
