Chapter 150: What are you laughing at?

Xiao Jin stood in the rain.

When she realized that she could stand, she knew she was probably dreaming.

However, in this dream, there was no purple bamboo wheelchair, and her boots could step firmly on the stone road splashed with raindrops.

Before being engulfed by the dream, Xiao Jin vaguely remembered Chu Shao's fingertips pressed against her lips. The sensation that came from her nerve endings was indescribably warm and delicate.

At that time, it seemed like a breeze lifted the carriage curtain, and the faint fragrance of osmanthus filled the carriage, carrying a hint of moisture. Xiao Jin momentarily forgot to breathe.

She only saw the candle flame flicker, and a fleeting light passed through Chu Shao's eyes like a shooting star.

Xiao Jin doubted whether she was hallucinating because in Chu Shao's eyes, she saw particles with a brightness that exceeded that of the candle flame.

As it turned out, her judgment was correct.

Because at this moment, standing in the rain, Xiao Jin recalled the mechanical sound that resounded in her mind before losing consciousness.

"Congratulations, Host! You have unlocked the third stage of Chu Shao's favorability. The system will automatically extend your lifespan by three months and grant you memory fragments related to Chu Shao as a reward."

Xiao Jin looked down at her completely transparent body, feeling somewhat speechless.

Why is it that other people's systems can activate powerful abilities, while her system only forces her into a coma?

Regarding this, Xiao Jin commented, "Your system is doing a great job. Don't come back next time."

Though Xiao Jin's spirit was still complaining, deep down she knew that her physical body was no different from being dead.

Instead of worrying about what to do while staying in the carriage, it was better to focus on the present and figure out where to go.

Thinking this way, Xiao Jin lifted her head and saw the majestic halls of the Yao Country's palace. It was a familiar sight. She had run through these halls hundreds of times before.

However, the sky appeared pale and empty, rain was falling, and the palace maids walking on the palace road wore cotton clothes.

Xiao Jin guessed that if it was raining but not snowing, it should be early winter.

Based on the season, if she connected it to the previous memory fragment, she was roughly several months after the events in Nan Jin.

In the next moment, the palace maids' whispered conversation confirmed Xiao Jin's speculation: "The National Teacher has returned to the capital for several months, and the Emperor has been claiming illness and not attending court for several months. Do you think the Emperor has already been..."

The other palace maid turned pale with shock and quickly pinched her arm, saying, "My dear, such words are not suitable for us lowly servants to speak. Be careful not to be overheard. If someone hears, your head will be rolling on the ground tonight!"

"Oh, my dear sister, be gentler with me. I only dared to speak a few words because there was no one else around. If it were someone else, I wouldn't say anything."

"We are all servants. How could we dare to discuss matters concerning the master? Just focus on delivering your medicine properly. Recently, Doctor Su has been ordered by the National Teacher to treat that princess's illness, and there are many medicinal materials to prepare. You must be careful. If any mistakes happen, neither of us can bear the consequences."
