Chapter 1976: Keep a Low Profile for the Time Being
“System, what should I do now?” n.o.ble Lady Zhou requested the favored concubine system’s help. This situation was fairly problematic.
Being identified as non-human… People from ancient times avoided supernatural beings like the plague.
“Keep a low profile for the time being,” the favored concubine system grimly said. “Think of a way to make the emperor believe in you.”
n.o.ble Lady Zhou couldn’t help but hold a hand to her forehead. This was giving her a headache. There truly was danger at every step in this inner palace!
In order to strive for favor, these women would really do anything: even accuse her of being a fox spirit.
“His Majesty has arrived.” The eunuch’s sharp voice sounded outside the Jade Court.
n.o.ble Lady Zhou immediately stood up and walked to the doorway to welcome Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu’s expression was dark as he walked in and sat on a chair.
“Your Majesty, what’s wrong?” n.o.ble Lady Zhou asked gently and cautiously.
Zhao Xu glanced at the devastatingly beautiful n.o.ble Lady Zhou. As she spoke, the breath she exhaled smelled like orchids-a simple and elegant fragrance.
It seemed like the person in front of him ate dew instead of needing food. There was no hint of body odor at all. And while it was normal to not have an unpleasant odor in the mouth, the underlying fragrance was definitely not normal.
While her breath was like orchids, her skin also smelled of flowery perfume.
“Have you heard the palace rumors?” Zhao Xu asked n.o.ble Lady Zhou.
He glanced at the decorations in n.o.ble Lady Zhou’s room, finding them contrary to what he expected. The decor was abnormally elegant, inspiring comfort in visitors.
“Since this matter was brought up…this concubine feels very wronged!” n.o.ble Lady Zhou’s face was aggrieved and helpless. “This concubine isn’t a fox spirit at all.”
“That, I believe. However, it was also said that an immortal gave you an elixir. Again, how did that rumor start?” Zhao Xu stared at n.o.ble Lady Zhou. “I don’t believe such nonsense.”
“But what kind of medicine did you use for the wound on your back? It healed very well.” Zhao Xu asked lightly, as if just in pa.s.sing.
n.o.ble Lady Zhou paled. Her heart wailed in anguish. What medicine did she use? It was the system’s energy that made her wound heal so quickly.
“That is…this concubine’s medicine was pa.s.sed down in the family. While it had a wonderful effect on the stab wound, this concubine’s medicine has already been used up.” n.o.ble Lady Zhou found a reason.
Zhao Xu nodded. “So it’s like that.”
“You don’t need to mind those rumors. You are my woman. No one will harm you,” Zhao Xu said resolutely.
“Your Majesty…” n.o.ble Lady Zhou’s eyes overflowed with tears. “This concubine thanks Your Majesty for showing such concern and care.”
“I will be having breakfast here,” Zhao Xu said.
“Does Your Majesty truly want to stay here to dine?” n.o.ble Lady Zhou looked at Zhao Xu with l.u.s.trous eyes.
The corner of Zhao Xu’s mouth hooked up. “Why? Am I not welcome?”
“Of course, this concubine is happy.” n.o.ble Lady Zhou’s face carried a brilliant smile and she instructed the maid to prepare breakfast without delay.
Although n.o.ble Lady Zhou’s smile was brilliant, her thoughts were mired in dark clouds. Before, she had moments when she desperately wanted to be doted on. Yet now that the system asked her to keep a low profile, Zhao Xu had come over.
n.o.ble Lady Zhou felt that the heavens were playing with her.
Nothing goes smoothly when something has to be done.
Although it was only breakfast, Zhao Xu’s presence caused it to feel like something more. The two of them encircled the table to have breakfast.
n.o.ble Lady Zhou looked at Zhao Xu, taking in his dignified bearing.
What low profile? There was no use keeping a low profile. She might as well become the favored concubine immediately. As long as there was an emperor protecting her, what hurdle could be too high to overcome?
She wouldn’t mind those women. Currying favor with the emperor was enough. Zhao Xu would fix this situation.
